G0ET THALs TO HAVE CHARGE
Of MUSCLE SHOALS Project
# ENGSTRUM'S BID ACCEPTED

duction viewed in the sense OF their
relation to the national defense was
the prime object of the offer he spoke
for; although hydro electric devetop-
ment would not be neglected,
While the former senator did not
refer to the Ford offer by name, he
argued strongly against congressional
action which would permit the prtr-
cipal water power project In the
South to be controlled by a private
concern. New York state had per-
initted Niagara to be monopolized, he
said, and the people there were up in
arms now crying for power they
could not get.
In reply to questions by Represen-
tative Stoll, Democrat of South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Butler said the corporation
to be created under the Engstrum
plan would "capitalize itself" untff It
got to be going concern" and was
willing TO offer surety bond OF any
Size the government suggested to as
sure the proper execution OF the offer.
The only financial consideration
the proposed corporation would re-
ceive, in return for It's work Of de-
velopina the properties. II was ex-
planned, would be from the sale of
power not required to operate the
nitrate plants from the sale OF ferti-
iizers and nitrates and the per cent
fee II would receive from the govern
ment on the cost Of completing the

all useless expenditures and TO cut
down on the white cars. He also
invited the members OF the legisla-
ture to visit him at his home, not
only the Democratic members but
also the Republicans.
"Have patience with my successor,
Marcus A. Smith declared in his ad-
dress, for he haa, harder row 10
travel than / did whom first went to
the senate Do not say because Ari-
IONA is not getting all the appropria-
tions she wants that he is not doing
anything, for you can't get khe rest
Of the Western states to vote your
way. They are not in sympathy with
Arizona in its effort to get more out
of the treasury, as they feel that sne
has already gotten more than they
have"
Illustrating the difficulty of get
ting approximations or other favors
from a congressional committeeman
when the request is made on behalf
OF a state not represented by a mem
ber on the committee, Mr.. Smith told
OF the inside Of committee hearings.
Persons desiring to be heard are
given hearing and the members
OF the committee listen, apparently
intently. But as soon as the door Is
closed behind the visitor one OF the
members Of the committee inquiries,
Let's see, where were we when we
were interrupted?"
1t Is necessary for the private citi-
zen to cut down on his expenditures
now, Mr.. Smith said, and 1t is Just
as necessary that the state cut down
on its expenditures. "A man has the
right to give away his own money"
Mr.. Smith declared. "but no man has
the right to give away the public
money, Every man working for the
best interests Of the state should pc
paid well but every man not working
for the best should be eliminated"
Mr.. Smith then spoke Of the bitter
ness and the hardships of a public
| life and advised those who do choose
4 public life to let nothing defect
them from giving the public their
best impersonai service. Mr.. Smith
said It had always been his aim to
see Arizona the greatest state in the
union and declared that II the citi-
zens' OF the state would stand by II as
the pioneers stood by the territory,
Arizona would reach that place IN the
union.

DRY AGENT REVOKES
ALCOHOL PERMIT Of
BIG YEAST COMPANY

WASHINGTON, Mar. a.-orders
revoking the industrial alcohol per-
mits Of the Fleischmann company
Inc, OF New York and its IL branch
agencies were issued tonight by Pro-
hibition Commissioners Haynes.
At the same time prohibition off
ciale in the cities where agencies OF
the company are located were ordered
TO seize supplies OF industrial alcohol

whether the revocation Of the in
dustrial alcohol permits Of the
IF1eischmann company would inter-
fere with the manufacture Of yeast,
prohibition officials tonight were un-
able TO say. 1t was thought, however,
that alcohol manufactured along with
yeast could be allowed to evaporate
Instead Of being conserved as hereto
fore.
Revocation Of the company's permit
was regarded by Commissioners
Haynes "as one of the biggest things
done by the prohibition bureau"
The action was taken on the rec
ommendation Of s. F.. Rutter, former
associate federal prohibition director
for Pennsylvania, before whom hear
inRa were held in Philadelphia upon
charges Of misuse Of their industrial
alcohol permits by the F1eischmann
agencies.
Grounds for the revocation Of the
permits were given BY Mr. Haynes as
follows:
diversion of non beverage alcohol

non bevarago alcohol on forged per-
lnixn and without permits 70 pur-
chase: kept and maintained false rec

George w. P. Hunt, former gov
erhor or Arizona. and Marcus A.
Smith, former United States senator
from Arizona, each addressed the
members of the Arizona state legis-
lature assembled in a joint session
yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock in
the house. Gov. Thomas Y. Camp
bell and other state officials attend
ed the session and Ahe gallery Of the
house was packed With attaches from
nearly every office in the state house.
The justices of the supreme court
also attended the session. Mr.. Hunt
was introduced by Senator II. B..
Wilkinson, president of the senate,
and Mr.. Smith by Representative r.
G. Keefe, speaker of the house.
Should the constitutional amend
ments go through both houses" Mr..
Hunt said, II shall get a tin lizzie
and tour the state and make speeches
in every settlement against the
measures, for l am strongly in favor
of the initiative and referendum and
| feel that 1t is my duty to kill those
amendment measures" Mr.. Hunt
said probably those pushing the
measures were sincere, but he was
just as sincere against them. He
stated he always played with his
cards in the open and everyone knew
Just where he stood.
Early in his address Mr.. Hunt said
he was a member of the constitu-
tional Committee which promulgated
the Arizona constitution and declared
the people adopted this constitution
when put up to them for vote. Mr..
Hunt then spoke of his service In
Siam and said he felt at home when
he landed in the only real autocracy
in the world, for there were 80 many
autocrats in Arizona, cattle kings,
sheep kings, copper kings and even q
copper queen" The only differ
ence being, Mr.. Hunt said, that In
Siam there was only one King and he
could dodge him, but in Arizona he
never knew when he would meet
king.
In closing Mr.. Hunt said he had
vetoed more bills than any governor
before him and probably more bills
than would be vetoed by any gover-
nor in the future, but he felt that by
so doing he had acted in the best in
terests of the citizens of the state

MRS. CARUS0 DENIES
TENDR's THROAT WAS
W|LLED TO MUSEUM

NEW YORK, Mar. s.-Mrs. Enrico
Caruso. widow Of the famous opera
tenor, tonight spiritedly denied ca
BILE dispatches from Rome that her
husbands throat had been removed
shortly after death and left to the
Naples museum for scientific exami-
nation.
The announcement that Rome pa
pers had reproduced pictofialiy the
throat OF the tenor she greeted with
a single word-'Imposition."
Mrs. Caruso's denial was support
ed quite as emphaticaliy by Bruno
zirato. who was Caruso's secretary.
He branded the report as 1'preposter-
GUS"
Impossible Mrs. Caruso declared
after she had been shown the dis
patch. ssThere is not a word OF truth
In the statement. The throat of Mr..
Cartiso was not left to the Naples
museum nor to any other museum or

rAt no time after Mr.. Caruso's
death was his body unmatched BY
some member of the family until It
was sealed away in the Canessa
chapel at Naples. There is but one
key to the chapel, and have it. 1t
has never been out of my possession.
II can not understand the report
ed publication of picture OF his
throat" she continued. 'Tt must be
some hoax. And as to the descrip-
tion of the vocal cords, the epigiottis
and other portions Of the throat, by
! doctors quoted in Rome papers, that
Is impossible. How could IL be 9TH
erwiseg Please say for me there Is
absolutely no truth in this dispatch
Mr.. Zirato. after expressing his in
credulity, told of the attempt of a
London physician and surgeon whose
name he could not recall, but which
he said he believed to be Lloyd. to
obtain possession Of Carusos throat
two days after the singers death.
This doctor" said Mr.. Zirato
said that Mr.. Caruso had told him
that he would make provision in his
will for the disposal of his throat and
lungs to medical science, after his
death. ~ 'r:
'Now everybody knows that Mr.
Caruso's will contained no such pro-
vision. Mrs. Caruso refused flatly
OF course, to permit the removal OF
the organs. Mr.. Caruso's body was

lion to expunEe and that was Gone.
A little later there was another mo-
ton to expunge something else,
though it was not offered seriously by
Mr.. Elliott. The senate had before

Committeeman said It was not pos
sibis TO estimate how much money
the government would have to ad-

the number Of men eiectinH to take

number borrowing from the banks

rowing directly from the government,
"Yt Isl hoped and believed" said
Chairman Fofuney in formal stAte-

ccfrfff fficafes become due and payable
the. money may be secured by. the
sale OF property and securities owned
by the federal government and with
out any special charge on the. treas
uTy. This plan seems to meet with
the general approval Of the members
of ti6 house Of Representatives as
well as the public generally"
Some members Of the committee
estimated that IL all the men took
certificates and held them for the full
2Q.year period. the ultimate cost Of
the bonus would fbe approximately
four billions Of dollars. They thought
however, that this sum would be re-
duceq by perhaps a billion dollars or
more through Borrowings and for
