Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1O.-An attempt
to identify Walter S. Underwood, held
here on an embezzlement charge as
the Edward f. Strathmore who en-
listed in the United States navy at
Kansas City in 1919, and who was
believed by some authorities to be
the missing Edward F. Sands, suspect
in the William Desmond Taylor mur-
der case, failed Friday night, when
J. J. Hinton of the navy recruiting
office at Kansas City, looked at the
prisoner and declared positively he was
not Strathmore. Underwoods railway
ticket bore the name of Walter s.
Maddox.
Besides admitting that he knew Tay-
Ior he also said he had been at his
house several times. Underwood de-
MED that he knew anything about the
murder.
Has Identifying Marks
Underwood was taken off the train
here on receipt of message from La
,Tunta. that he was wanted at Los
Angeles on an embezzlement charge
made by the Pacific Electric Railways
company. The man admitted he had
been employed by the company as
cashier for eight months.
Underwood corresponds to every
mark of Identification given in the
description of Sands, even to slight
scars on his cheeks and another on his
left shoulder, according to the under
sheriff.
The facial scars, Underwood assert
ed, were caused by mustard gas en-
countered in France while with the
Canadian army in the late war. His
left arm is decorated with tattoo mark
of an anchor with the initials "A. T."

800 March Upon Cork

Cork, Feb. l0.-(By The AS
sociated Press).-An event un-
precedented in the history of the
Irish railways occurred Friday
when 800 striking railway work
ers assembled outside strike head
quarters and we're ordered to
march to the various railway sta
tions and take possession OF them
on behalf of the Railmen's Indus

The railways we're seized at
o'clock in the afternoon, with
no disorder. No opposition was
encountered by the strikers whose
officials installed themselves in
the board rooms of the stations.
The action of the strikers was
due TO the men having refused to
accept the terms of settlement of
the strike, arrived at by the
Dublin conference Thursday. The
strikers are demanding 20
shiIIinqs weekly pay and a revision
of their hours Of work.
No trains were moved over any
of the lines Friday, but arrange
ments were being made at night
to start the services Saturday. 1t
is expected that the ministry of

COURT ACTION
MAY BE NEEDED
ON FORD OFFER
How to Give Legal Title
on Power Plant a
Query Raised.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Delays esti-
or more probably will be encountered
by government officials before they are
in a position to turn over the nitrate
plants, power stations and water dams
at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to Henry
Ford should his proposed contract for
their purchase and lease for period
of 100 years be accepted. Despite the
most expeditions action by congress,
members of the house military COM
mittee attending hearings on the Ford
offer believed that such delay was
apparently inescapable.
Questions were raised at the hearing
Friday by committeeman which some
with experience in legal matters
thought necessarily would have to be
solved by the courts. irrespective OF
congressional action, unless the Ford
offer was rejected. These involved
the delay of clear titles to Mr.. Ford of
government-owned properties connect
ed with the Muscle Shoals project but
which are located on lands privately
owned, and whose owners claim they
have legal options for the purchase of
the DuuQlUSS, WHICH IHty iHtcuu " Ca
ercise.
May Require Condemnation
Some committee members, after
hearing the testimony of Colonel John
Hull, acting judge advocate general Of
the army, thought that the government
would be compelled to institute con-
demnation proceedings before it could
obtain the necessary titles to the lands
for Mr.. Ford
Colonel Hull said it was his opinion
that the contractual obligations were
mon enforceable and null and void"
and could not be successfully presented
either by the Alabama Power company
representatives or officials of the Air
Nitrates corporation, both of whom
claim optional privileges and have in
formed Secretary Weeks that they in
tend to exercise them before the Mus
Gle Shoals properties are disposed of
to private concerns.
Requests to present their arguments
to the committee in defense of their
claims have been made to Chairman
Kahn by both companies.
Major General Beach, chief of army
engineers, repeated his advice against
reducing the 1OO-year time clause in
the Ford offer to 30.
