MUSCLE SHOALS
 OFFER BROUGHT
 BEFORE HOUSE
Weeks Suggestion Alabama Power Company's Offer Be
 Referred to Committees

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Congress received today the offer of the Ala bama Power Company for purchase and lease of the governments nitrate and power project at Muscle Shoals, Ala.
 In referring the proposal to the leg islative body for final decision, Ir- yolving it's acceptance or rejection as d competitor to the offer already made by Henry Ford for the same properties, Secretary Weeks made no specific recommendation other than to say indirectly he believed the new offer should be referred to the con- mitteeS of the senate and house now engaged upon consideration of th Ford offer.
 The letter of transmission, ru- dressed to the president of the sen ate and speaker of the house, con- tained F comments upon as many provisions of the company's proposal, all of which the war secretary said either were desirable or advantageous to the governments interests in the disposal to be made of the Muscle Shoals properties.
 Delivery of free power to the gov ernment or it's purchase by the com pany in the event the power was no needed, as proposed by the Alabama company, was said to be an advan- tage in that it would offer a return on money already invested by the gov ernment.
 Sale of the Warrior steam plant and other facilities for $5,000,000, les the cost for locks and navigation structures, estimated at about $2,- 500,000, as proposed in the offer, th latter added, would permit substan- tial return on the investment mace and serve also to keep them in pu, service.
 Reference of the offer probably will be made tomorrow in the senate to the agricultural committee, and in the house to the military affairs com mittee. In the latter body, only two witnesses remained tonight t0 testif before the investigation of the F proposal is enueu. Ines weie Gray Silver, Washington representative ot the American Farm Bureau Fedora tion, and a representative to be des- ignated by the Alabama Power Con- rany.
 Chairman Kahn announced it wa" his plan to hear Silver tomorrow and conclude with the power company's spokesman before the weekend. In that event, he said, hearings wOul begin on the new offer and continue on any other the secretary might sub init, and have it carefully studied, to submit to the house for final action and joint recommendation, probably in the form of a resolution to direct Secretary Weeks to accept one of the proposals.

Mary Fights Suit, .Crowds Fight Too
Popular Movie Star and Her Husband Have Trying Time
 at Court Room Doors

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Mary Pick ford and Douglas Fairbanks, her hus- band, today proved so popular in fed eral court, where the diminutive mo- tion picture star is contesting a $10S.- 900 suit, that reserve marshals were called to the assistance of the regu- lar forces to restrain over-demonstra- tive crowds that surged about the court room doors.
 By order of Federal Judge Julian Mack, none but those having official business in court were permitted to enter, and it looked for a time as though the marshals would have to resort to violence to sweep back the masses that stormed the doors.
 At the adjournment. Fairbanks, pre- ceded by phalanx of police, and car rying his wife in his arms, strode through an enormous crowd to their automobile, which could not be start ed for several minutes because of the press of sightseers fighting for a glimpse of the movie idols.
 Miss Pickford is being sued by Mrs. Cora c. Whitening, theatrical d5chl, TUT lU. pcT CeuI COHiIulSSlOH anu interest for services she claims to have rendered in 1916. She alleges she obtained a salary increase from $4.000 to $10,000 a week for her.
 Mrs. Whitening today testified that at Miss Pickford's request, she got the actress contract with John R. Fruler at salary of $S,000 a week for S5 weeks, and bonus of S150,000. The preliminary negotiations com pleted. she testified, Miss Pickford, instead, signed contract with Adolph Zukor for S1OO00 week Mrs. Wilkenning contended that the Zukor contract was made possible through her negotiations with Fruler.
 Miss Pickford has not yet taken the stand. The trial will be resumed Thursday.

BUSINESS TAXES UPWARD COURSE DURING JANUARY
Further Progress Is Made by Commerce and Industry
 During Last Month

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. - Com merce and industry as a whole made further progress during January. ac- cording to figures received up to Feb ruary 20, by the department of com merce. it was announced today.
 Consumption of cotton by mills in creased from 511,000 bales in Decem- Der. to 526.O00 bales, the report says, while year ago the January con- sumption was only 366,270 bales. Con- sumption of silk increased fully 50 per cent greater than year ago. With the exception of raw wool. tex tile prices tended to drop. compared with December.
 Building contracts dropped 16 per cent from December, but the January figure. totalling s166,320,000 in 27 Northeastern states. is the next larg- est January figure ever recorded.
 There was a welcome increase, the department says, in the price of most farm products, which have been low in comparison with other com modities. Conditions in the iron and steel industries were said to be somewhat disappointing for the month and there. was slight shrink age in the orders of the United States Steel Corporation"
 An increase was noted in most for eign exchange rates in January but foreign trade declined.

the army base, who witnessed the disaster, saw several members of the crew leap from the doomed machine while she was still high in the air one of those who jumped had a para chute, but it failed to open. He land ed on concrete pavement.
 Many Killed Outright.
 In the local morgue, bodies, sheeted on the tables, attracted many, among whom were army officers and men seeking vainly to identify their com rades.
 Masks of men for the most part lay encrusted within a charcoal shell of blackened flesh. It was evident, how ever, that death had come to some of them not with agony but instantan- eously. In almost every case, the fea- lures retained strange calm. One body, the long, 1.-the one of an athlete, Jay on its cot with the trappings of a parachute hanging in threads of burned rags to the shoulders.
 In room apart, lay figure un- burned. Here was a hooded Hercules "a giant of a man, his skin still sug- gesting the pink of the splendid feiIuw he must have been in the moment he was called upon to make the instant decision. He made it. While others waited to fall with the great bag, this man leaped. He died but his people know him at a glance.

TREATY


 (Continued on Page Four)
 tee leaders hope to complete consider ation of the Brandegee proposal and perhaps formally adopt a recommen- ydation that the treaty be ratified. IL was uncertain whether other reserva- tions would be offered in committee, several Democratic and Republican members being undecided whether to pIctong further the committee discus sions or reserve their views for pre- SenLatlon to the senate itself.
 Should the treaty be ordered for mally reported tomorrow, it is consiG- cred unlikely that it actually will be brought into the senate until all the other arms conference treaties also have been given committee approval. It is planned to keep the committee hard at work, however, and to report the entire group of international agreements as soon as possible.
 Meantime, debate on the treaty with Japan regarding the, island of Tap, reported out of the committee on Monday, will begin tomorrow with the leaders hoping for ratification within few days. @#
 The only pronounced opposition to the Brandegee reservation at today's committee meeting was said by mem bers to have come from Senator Kel- logg, Republican, Minnesota, who in- sisted that qualifications were unnec- essary and could only be source of embarrassment "'-

CRASH

 Roma drove along a thousand feet above the army base. She was mak- ing a trial flight with a new battery of Liberty motors. They were in stalled to replace the Italian engines brought win her from Italy. but whicn have not proved satisfactory. Install lation was completed at Langley Field two weeks ago.
 those below at the army base at Hampton Roads had their attention caught by the approaching thunder of the six motors, and looked up to see the Roma dip down from her straight flight. They agreed that the rudder seemed to have slipped bodily down and to one side.
 Crew HurI Out Ballast.
 The ship nosed steeply down as she came closer and it was seen that her crew were hurling out sand ballast from the ports in the fragile fabric that formed the covering of the space between her keel and back, the living and operating quarters of the ship. The dipping blunt nose of the bag did not respond. On the ship came, un- checked in her glide earthward, head first, Her commander could not force her the few hundred feet that would nave dropped her into the waters o. the bay, and comparative safety TOT her people.
 Below ran the high double wires of the high power electric line. It car ried 2,300 volt current. The Roma's nose, shod with it's aluminium guard, sank into the wires, broke them as the ship flattened to earth, anu. rv..v,. over, and the next moment came the noise of an explosion. Flames burst out along the hull space.
 There was a rush of men to tt rescue from the army post and the navy base, beyond. Just as the Roma neared the wires, two men were seen to leap from high up in her slanting hull. AS the stricken, flaming mon- ster writhed in her first death agony, 10 more dropped from doors or ports or through holes they tore in the fabric sides that enclosed them. Some leaped from the platform where the

CT for army or commercial purposes, has been generally expected by tech nical officers to start from this point. In this connection, it was said today that examination of all German rec ords had failed to reveal any disaster such as that to the ZR-2. which was far larger than any German-built craft of the kind, or to the Roma.
 Whatever may have been the cause of the wreck, either of the ZR-2 or the Roma, it is certain that flying Of ficers of the army and navy do not regard these tragic accidents as of fering any reasonable ground for the abandonment of the attempt to pro- duce for the American military serv- ices ships of the size and kind. par ticularly for employment in coast defense operations.

 al Italian motors. but otherwise func, tioned perfectly. The ship fought an increasing headwind all the way and reached Boiling Field with only three Of her six motors running. She had so little power as she approached the landing place, where scores of distin- guished guests awaited her, that her commander was compelled to jockey his monster craft over the low hills that surround the field with utmost cunning to bring her in at all.
 Because of the motor troubles. the scheduled initial flight of the Roma over Washington with Secretaries Weeks and Denby and the Italian am bassador in her cabins, as well as sen- ators and members of the house. was postponed. The ship went back to Langley, running before the wind and barely reaching her hangar be- fore 8 coast gale broke. She remain ed in the shed for many weeks to have her motors replaced by Liberty engines of greater power and more certainty of performance The flight which proved her last was one of those made to test her new propell- ing plant. and it had been expected she would show greatly improved speed and maneuvering ability.
 Destruction of the Roma, leaves both the army and navy without air ships larger than the navy blimps. There IS not now in the United States a rigid or semi-rigid craft even faint ly resembling the German Zeppelins that harried London time after time during the World War The ZR-1 is under construction by the navy, how. ever. and recently arrangements were made with the cooperation of the all lied governments that the Zeppelin plant in Germany should build for the navy a Zeppelin of the l. type, which proved successful during the war.

KEEP URIC ACID
 OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
 Less Met and Take Salts,

rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states q well.knowu authority. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good. water.
 Rheumatism is direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also d means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accommodating and circu- lating through the system. eventually settling i'll the joints and muscles, causing stiffness. soreness aud pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a tablespoon ful in glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive. harmless and Is made from tue acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with litha and is used with excellent results by thousaudS of folks who are subject to
 rheumatism.

engines stood, far out from the hull.
 So fierce was the flare Of the gas flame that rescuers were driven back before it's terrific heat. They watched helplessly as the great S0-foot bag shriveled in the blaze of the liberated gas. The Roma was wall of flame city block long and until the thou sands of gallons of chemicals and water had checked the holocaust, it was impossible to reach the men mangled and dead in that fiery fur mace.
 No Passenger Lists.
 The ship left no passenger list be- hind her when she set out for a brief trial run from Langley. She is known to have carried many officers and men as passengers, however, in addition to her operating crew: As she rose from the field, her commander leaned out to signal that he had A persons aboard. It is believed he did not in clude one civilian on the ship.
 Only those in the forward part of the operating compartment of the ship had chance for their lives. Sev- eral were injured severely by jump ing, but three came out practically unhurt.
 Lieutenant Burt who, with Captain Reed, was the principal pilot of the Roma, was one of these. He jumped when the ship was only a few yards from the ground. A civi;:an, Roy Hurley. also escaped unhurt as did Master Sergeant Peek.
 Albert Flores, who was in the ob- servers pit on top of the bag, said:
 T felt the ship tilt up from the back and started to slide down. I tried to go down inside but then I decided to come out forward again. By that time, we hit the earth and I was thrown out on the ground
 Flores was burned about the hands and is suffering from shock. Major J. D. Reardon, who was in the con- trol cabin at the time of the acciden. said that the work of the officers in charge was excellent.
 Officers Describe Wreck.
 Lieutenant Burt and Captain Ma bry were at their wheels" the major said. The ship gave duck and saw Lieutenant Burt pull with all his might on the elevation lever. He yelled out: She won't respond, and then: Cut the motors One by one, l heard the motors shut off and then we struck. If the motors had not been shut off, we would have hit the ground much harder"
 When asked if he had seen any flame, he said that he had not.
 Ray Hurley, civilian and engine ex- pert, suffered a slight spraln O. one arm and burns about the hands. The trip was Hurley's first flight. Ut was the first time l had ever been up," he said, and when the Roma started to swing, 1 didn't know anything was wrong. I thought she was ac:,ug MY right; didn't know different It was not until the machine hit the ground that realized she was wrecked She was sailing along smoothly and she was coming straight from the Langley Field. We were up only short r,n.>- when we fell.''
 One of the mechanics in the crew Of the Roma, who was rescued shortly after the big ship hit, said "our rudder broke and the planes di- ..,-- work, so far as l could see; there was no fire until we hit the ground"
 Colone. P. M. Quincy, commandant of the army base, who witness.- che fall of the Roma. bore out this state ment. He said he did not see any fire until after the big gas bag had landed on the ground.
