COXEY OFFERS
PLAN To AVOID
SHIP SUBSIDY
Would Recondition Vessels by
Issuance Of Legal Tender
Treasury Notes.
by international News Service.

Reconditioning Of Government
ships under a special Congressional
appropriation and the sale Of the
reconditioned vessels to a private
corporation formed for the pur-
pose was proposed today to the
United States Shipping Board as
an alternative of the Lasker SUBJ
sidy plan, by Jacob s. Coxey, re-
nowned leader Of "Coxey's army"
Coxey's plan. which would obvi-
ate ship subsidy. calls for the
enactment of a law by Congress
preparation of $40, 900 Of legal
tender Treasury notes, to nav for
the reconditioning of liz Govern
ment ships. The reconditioning
would be done by a private cor.
poration formed by Jacob S. Coxey
and Theodore d. Wells, of New
York, which corporation would DUR
chase from the Government the
reconditioned vessels. Sale Of the
vessels, under the plan. would be
upon liberal terms of fifteen years
extended credit without interest.
Reconditioning of the vessels would
aim to make them the rivals of the
finest passenger and freight yes-
sells Of any maritime power. Coxey's
plan would require the Government
to refit all its vessels under the
Diesel principle, internal combus-
ton, direct connected motor tyne
installation, with auxiliary motors,
electrically equipped throughout,
lighted and heated, with eight dou-
BILE staterooms, equal to the latest
foreign type and design of mer-
chant ships.
Such reconditioning. Coxey de-
clared, would result in a saving In
cost of operation of at least As per
cent and at the same time establish
a master fleet of merchant vessels
flying the American flag and equal
in all things with the maritime
fleets of all rival nations.

TAYLoR'S DAUGHTER SEEKS
FILM DIRECTORS WILL

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Counsel
has been retained here by Miss
Ethel Daisy Taylor, the pretty
young daughter of William Des-
mond Taylor, slain film director, in
an effort to obtain possession Of
his estate, which is valued at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
She has asked her attorney to
cause the authorities Of Los Angeles
to make a search for his will. OF
which he wrote her about a year
ago. At that time he said the will
was in a safe deposit box and in
formed her that this named her as
sole legatee.
Frank Schrenkeisen, her attorney,
said yesterday:
1T do not believe there will be
any other legitimate claimant for
the estate Of Mr.. Taylor. The Los
Angeles authorities have recog-
nized Miss Tanner as the daughter,
and we have not thought 1t neces-
sary to make any formal demand
for the estate"

HOUSE MARKING
TIME ON FORD'S
NITRATE OFFER
Committee Likely to Demand
Greater Guarantee for
Fertilizers.
BY international News Service.

The House Military Affairs COM
mittee marked time today in its con-
sideration of Henry Ford's offer to
take over and develop the Govern
ment's properties at Muscle Shoals
Ala. Hearings on the Ford proposal
will be resumed on Monday, when
engineers representing the Detroit
manufacturer will appear.
Committee members gave further
study today to the terms of the Ford
offer, and 1t was stated that II Is
their purpose to demand several
changes in the present contract,
which provides for the purchase OF
part of the nitrate and power plants
and the leasing OF the rest of the
property for one hundred years.
Belief was expressed at the Capt.
toll that even IL Congress should vote
to accept the Ford proposal, develop
ment of the Shoals property would
still be far distant. This belief is
founded upon determination Of the
Alabama Power Company, the Air
Nitrates Corporation. and the Ameri-
can Cyanamid Company to press their
optional purchase rights. This de-
termination, some members of the
Military Affairs Committee declared,
may bring years of litigation.
Col. John A. Hull, acting Judge
advocate general, will resume the
stand on Monday, 1t was announced
by Chairman Kahn.

by international News Service.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IL
The private stock of liquor, de-
clared to be of excellent brands
and almost rare in the days of
prohibition, that was found in
the home of William Desmond
Taylor, murdered film director,
today furnished a problem for
Government officials.
The liquor, under the strict
dry law of the country, can
not be turned over to heirs of
the slain director and may have
to be destroyed.
Public Administrator Frank
Bryson brought the matter to the
fore by apply to the local pro-
hibition officials for a permit to
remove the liquor stock from the
Taylor residence to his office.
1t was stated the permit likely
would be granted, but that the
liquor may have to be destroyed
later unless an order is issued in
Federal court permitting its do
nation to some hospital for med
lean purposes.

ROUNDUP
FINDS CITY FULL
Of RED-HEADS
Girls With Flaming Hair
Swamp Ed. for Tickets to
Miss Hampton's Dinner.

Evidently there are enough red
heads in Washington to set the town
on fire.
At least that was the idea that the
Red Headed Editor got today when
he waded through a large stack of
letters from feminine sorrel tops and
hennaettes who sent in. their names
and addresses so as to be registered
for the Hope Hampton party.
From the number of letters re-
ceived and the alacrity with which
they were sent in it is quite evident
that there are many brick-topped
girls and women in the National
Capital who want to meet this beauti-
full and talented motion picture star,
who will appear personally at the
Metropolitan Theater the first three
days of next week during the show
.ngs OF Star Dust" First National
film classic, in which she is featured.
Wednesday Is Date.
The Washington Times, which ar
ranged with Miss Hampton to meet
all registered red heads next Tuesday
and distribute autographed photo
graphs and free tickets to Star
Dust" as we'll as entertaining fifty
lucky sorrel tops at a dinner at the
Willard, received word from the fasci-
mating star today that she preferred
to stage the party Wednesday In
stead Of Tuesday afternoon. And,
quite naturally enough, II will be
staged Wednesday.
However, the fifty dinner party
guests will be selected in The wash
ington Times business office next
Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock, and
at the same hour Miss Hampton will
distribute free tickets to Star Dust"
and her photograph to all the regis
tered red heads present.
In his hurry yesterday to announce
the forthcoming party the Red
Headed Editor OF The Washington
Times forgot to mention an important
little detail. 1t is this:
All strawberry blondes declared ell
gible for the "sorrel top party" must
have been red headed as of February
10, 1922, the day the announcement
was made. The reason for this little
rule is that local druggists and beauty
parlors report unusually heavy de-
mands for henna wash yesterday and
today, and 1t would not be fair to the
genuine titians, auburns and brick
tops to let overnight sorrel tops
come in and capture the works. A
coy and demure blonde advises the
Red Headed Editor Of The washing
ton Times that newly henna-washed
hair can be detected by it's bright and
shimmering sheen" There seemed
to be a note of envy in her voice.
However, IL the entrants wear their
hats, they can still cheat the Red
Headed Editor.
All Are Invited.
The missives received from titians
today ranged from simple slips of
paper. containing only names and ad-
dresses, to somewhat lengthy letters
announcing intentions to vamp the
Red Headed Editor. But-more of
that later.
In the meantime, all feminine pos
SCISSORS of auburn tresses are invited
to send in their names and addresses
and come to The Washington Times
office next Tuesday afternoon at .
o'clock to meet the star of star
Dust" Everyone who comes will re-
ceive a free ticket to the Metropolitan
Theater next week.

clans, who desire to use their bench
men in building and repairing roads
regardless of cost ana good results
are opposed to any change, but far
seeing citizens who want results and
who know that the Maryland State
Roads Commission gets results are
very much in favor of Senator Har-

as introduced by Senator Harrison
follows:
