ed. Plans have been accepted and in.
structions for the immediate construc
ton have been given the architects,
Bayer-Baum G Co., of Chicago and st,
Louis.
The structure, with the ornamental
tower surmounting, will rear its
mighty head sheer 300 feet above the
street level, towering over all other
Memphis office buildings and com.
manding from its pinnacle a. magnifi,
cent panorama of the Bluff City and
its environs.
When the decision was reached as
to building in Memphis it was deter.
mined that the new home of the Co.
lumbia Mutual Life should be the last
word in office buildings, from the
standpoint of design, equipment and
construction. So this newest of Mem
phis skyscrapers will rank among the
most distinctive in the United States.
The treatment is Gothic throughout,
with renaissance ornamentation. Sim.
plicity of design will contribute much
to the beauty of the structure, a motif
greatly enhanced by the use of cream
satin enameled terra-cotta, with which
the west and south walls and tower
will be faced.
Both tower and mansard roofs will
be finished in blended shades of dull

point in Memphis, topping all present

the skyline of the future.
1t is planned to illuminate the sruct-
ure at night from powerful flood lamps
concealed in the tower and on the roof.
The lighting system to be used is sim.
liar to that of the Statue of Liberty in
New York harbor, and the towers of
both the Woolworth building in lower
Manhattan and the new Wrigley build

From every standpoint the designers
of this huge edifice sought to secure
the greatest simplicity of arrangement,
in the matter of floor
plans and the conservation of space.
Practically 60 per cent of the possible
floor space can be utilized, after al.

GIVES PROFlTEERS HARD RAP

Detroit, Mich.-Henry Ford has
made strategic movement. Wishing
ito deliver body blow both at the
steel trust and the coal proflteers," he
announced that on September 16 all of
his plants would close down. This af-
fects the assembling plants at various
cities as well as his three Detroit
factories.
More than 900 kilograms we're sent
out by Foard notifying the concerns
that have been furnishing him with
raw and partly manufactured materi-
ais 10 cease their shipments.
The steel trust, as it happened, no
titled him that the price of steel of
$1.4O bars would at once be increased
to $3.50 and that the price would go
to 81 at date in the near future.
Ford is quoted as saying:
Il told them that l wanted no steel.
| am going to shut down, because
will not pay graft nor will l pay an ex-
cessive price for steel. l could get
coal If were willing to pay graft.
Coal is offered to me every day at an
excessive price. / had a chance to
buy $4,000 tons at Sc ton. Four dol
lars and a half ton Is good price
for coal, and that is all will pay.
81 will not be party to profiteering.
That is why am going to shut down
until coal and steel profiteering are
over Tolerate such conditions and
they will continue Indefinitely.
There is no good reason why such
conditions should exist at all. 1t is
all conspiracy to fleece the public.

Is price that l will not pay to keep

Somebody told Ford that Mr.. Hoover
had challenged his statement that coal
could be bought il one were willing TO
pay the price.
Hoover" Ford said, "is always
more ready to challenge a statement
than he is to investigate the truth OF
It. II Hoover does not know that
brokers are offering coal at fancy
prices he is one of the few men who
do not know it. If Hoover wants to
prevent profiteering in coal why
doesn't he do it without talking about
It?
T am closing down." he added,
when our business is breaking all

use Of doing business if one cannot do

Paris.-The negotiations in Berlin
betweeen the reparations mission and
German government officials came to

to dispose Of the question Of grant

II the last minute guarantees Of
fered by the Germans prove to be as
unsatisfactory as previous proposals,
the British are expected to try to
postpone action by the commission in
order to delay the carrying out of
penalties independently by France
with the hope that some way out Of
the difficulty may be found.
There has been much speculation
as to what form the French penalties,
If carried out, would take. Nothing
has been indicated officially, but all
reports from Germany seem to agree
that the first move would be occupa.

government will take no action until

cial quarters. When the commissions
decision has been made known the
cabinet will meet and finally approve
Of a plan of action which already has
been drawn up.
1t was suggested by some observ.
ers that Premier Poincare may delay
the proposed penalties until the re-
convening of the Chamber Of Depu-
tise the first week in October, in or.
der that the government may proceed
with its program backed up by q

HOPE FOR PASSING
OVER VETO GONE
ACID TEST IN SENATE SHOWS
PROPONENTS LACK THE
STRENGTH.
PRESIDENT STILL OPPOSED
Little Time Found for Discussion Ia
Senate With Coal and Rail Strike
Holding stage-May Vote On
II BY Weekend.

Washington.-A presidential vote
on the pending soldiers compensa'
tion measure will mean its final dis
position for this session of con-
gress. All hope Of passing this leg
islation, despite the disapproval OF
Mr.. Harding, abandoned. It is ad-
mitted that sufficient votes for that
purpose cannot be obtained.
An acid test poll of the senate was
taken this afternoon by Republican
leaders. They found themselves at
least one vote short Of the number
required for enactment despite a
presidential disapproval. This came
as a severe shock because 1t had
been vigorously contended that the
opposition erred in maintaining that
the bonus was beaten If the presi-
dent vetoes the bill, as Is expected
by its antagonists.
The Borah-U Underwood faction, op,
posing the bonus, claim S5 votes to
sustain the presidents veto. This fig.
ure is not admitted by the Repub-
lican leaders, but they say there Is
sufficient strength to sustain the
veto and nothing more is necessary.
It is stated by McCumber and all
those closely affiliated with the
bonus legislation that no actual in
timation has come from the presl-
dent concerning his purpose. They
VIII not predict what he will do, but
express the conviction that his ap-
proval will be given after all the
facts have been laid before him.
The president has plainly told all
callers at the White House who in
quired regarding his attitude that
tAele has been no change and he
cannot approve the McCumber bill
until 1t carries the method Of raising
revenues to meet payments. He has
declared at all times there has been
no abandonment Of this attitude.
When Republican leaders in the
senate sought to take the matter up
with the president and ascertain just
what he will do, they were refused
an audience on the ground that the
coal and railroad strike required all
his attention. Since that time the
subject has not been discussed be-
tween the president and the Repub-
llcan leaders.
But brief time was given the bonus
today as between the coal situation
and the letter of Secretary Hughes
generating Newberry all other af-
fairs were shunted aside. In fact,
short speeches by Underwood (Dem.
ocrat, Alabama) and Wadsworth
Republican, New York; afforded the
only reference to the bonus bill.
It became evident that much time
will be consumed each day on the
coal famine and no suggestion is
made for a vote on the bonus before
the end of the week.
The bonus was opposed by Un,
derwood on the ground that the
amount was a mere pittance COM
pared with what the former service
men are making in civil life. He
favored taking the utmost care of
the disabled.
Exceptions were taken by Wads-
worth to the suggestion made by
McCumber that If the soldiers were
not allowed adjusted compensation
they will not be willing to aid their
country in the event of another war
He declared such an assumption was
unfair and unwarranted. He repu.
dated it on behalf of the service
men.

NO MOTION VT FOR
new BIBY TRIAL

AS yet no motion for new trial
in the Frank Biby murder case, tho
more tnan half of the 20 days allowed
for such filing have elapsed.
1t is the general opinion that Judge
Low, who defended Biby, was too
well pleased with the second decree
verdict to want to ask for new
trial
Thirteens played quite an import
ant part in the trial of the man who
shot his own wife.
The original jury panel when called
to stand in court and offer excuse
for not serving, was composed of 26
men: half OF them or 13, were re-
leased. and that of course left but
10. An open venire was ordered, but
that number was not 13. However.
when the jury trying Biby went with
the bailiff to meals. there was OF
course 13 in the party; they had 13
meals down town during the course
of the trial. one of tho jurymen and
probably several of them. drew GER
tificates for / 3 days of service on the
general panel.
Finally it was "2S" to the trial for
it was on the evening of the 23rd of
December when the case went TO the
Jury.
Someone has suggested that i3
must be a lucky number for Biby.
since he was not convicted of first
degree murder.
