FORD. MAY MODIFY
MUSCLE SHOALS BID
Government Suggestion Un.
der Amusement Following
Conference With President.

The administration has proposed to
Henry Ford a modification of his of
fer for the purchase and lease of the
governments poweE and nitrate
projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala, and
the Detroit manufa acturer, after con-
ferences with President Coolidge and
Secretary Weeks, has taken the pro-
posal under advisement. Negotiations
1.-The offer were reopened when Mr.
Ford came here yesterday at the re
quest of the President.
Modification Proposed.
The modification proposed by Sec
Ietary Weeks involves elimination
from the offer uf TIE GorgaS power
plant, on the Warrior river, which the
War Secretary is understood to have
informed Mr.. Ford the government
probably would he compelled to sell to
the Alabama Power Company under
the contract agreement entered into
with it when the plant was con-
structed.
Mr. Weeks, in statement after the
conferences. said Mr.. Ford would ex
anime the disputed legal status of the
agreement concerning the GorgaS
plant before reaching a decision. The
Ala bama Power Company has served
n"tice on the War Department to ga
rate Tn" property not later than De
toher H. ana presumably Mr. Ford
will reach decision on the proposal
before that date.
Gorgas Plant Considered.
1t was understood to be the gov
ernment'S plan that if the Gorgas
property is eliminated the price re-
Ceived for it from the power com
pany, which formerly offered $4,000.
600. would be deducted from the
s5.000.0OO offered by Mr.. Ford for the
power plant and the nitrate factories
combined.
Although he announced that he
would take the proposal under ad
visement, Mr. Ford was said not to
have changed the poSiNon taken
against elimination OF the Gorgas
plant during the congressional hear
ingS on his offer. His representatives
then insisted that it was indispenSa
bic to his plan for development of the
shoals properties.

TOO BUSY TO DIE, so HIS PROPHECY MISCUES

BATH, Me, Feb. 20-(By United Press.) - Dr. William M. Rouse, who sometime ago predicted he would die today, was much too busy reading about King Tutankhamen to permit fulfillment of his prophecy.
 It's good to be alive" the doctor, who will be IT in another six weeks, said as he pottered about his one room house here. T never felt bet ter in my life.'
 Dr. Rouse had said he would die today, 43 days before his 77th birth day because his mother and a grand father had done so.
 Breasting swirling snowdrifts in zero weather, the doctor trudged down to the river front to feed his friends, the sea gulls, with only a laugh over his shoulder for the spec ter of his grim reaper he had him. self conjured up. He is one of the few persons in this town who have escaped unscathed from an epidemic of grippe,
 This Tutankhamen certainly lived while he was at it and he was a long time dead" Dr. Rouse said, as he laid down his history and daily paper and allowed he guessed he wasn't quite ready to die himself just yet.
 T guess my prediction isn't going to be fulfilled" he admitted. but I'd rather be- a bad prophet alive than a good one dead"

CHANGES IN RATE SYSTEM POINTED OUT AS, NE
Atlanta Rate Expert Contests Statements Made by Coun- SeI of the Southern
 Railway

ATLANTA Ga, Feb 2o.-During several hours of cross exami nation, Harry T. Moore. At lanta late expert, brought out his position at the second session of the nearing before the interstate commerce commission here today in support of the shippers for establish ment for uniform mileage rates as opposed to the group and differen- tial basis.
 Rates which it is proposed to re- wise apply to shipments by rail and water in territory south of the Po tomac and Ohio rivers and east Of the Mississippi river.
 Nelson w Proctor, counsel for the Louisville and Nashville railroad as- sisted by c. J. Rixey. counsel for the Southern railway, conducted the cross examination of Mr. Moore and tried to establish through his tes timony that the group and differ ential rate system for the continu ance of which the carriers are con tending, had been in use for 40 years and had proven satisfactory.
 MT. Moore's reply was that con ditions had materially changed in the south during the last 40 years, and that these changes made necessary changes in the rate system. In SUD- port of this contention, Mr. Moore called attention to the growth of manufacturing in the south and de- c.ared that manufacturers were en- titled to mileage rates that would enable them to compete with each other, according to distance.
 Rebutal of carriers will be intro- duced tomorrow

KHAN IS DENOUNCED EPISCOPAL BISHOP


 CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb. 20.- Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, head of the Episcopal church in America, in an address here today denounced the Ku Klux Klan. declaring that he be- lieved that groups of people who are obsessed with an antipathy for any certain social or religious class are doing more to spread discontent and disorder than any other thing in the United States today"
 The bishop also stated that he was opposed to turning the country over to followers of socialism, because he said. T think they are simply chasing rainbows. They lack imag- ination and are merely professional reformers."
 Bishop Gailor said that his recent address in Washington had been mis- quoted and that he Is opposed to all groups of people who attempted by force to thrust their views upon other citizens of the country.
 The bishop tonight declined to re- ply to a statement sent out from Nashville by John Royal Harris of Cumberland University. who attacked the churchman's views on prohibi- tlOn

PROPOSED PROBE OF WASTE IN VETERANS
 BUREAU IS POSTPONED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-A decis- ion regarding proposed investiga- tion of the veterans bureau includ- ing charges of waste, extravagance and improper administration was postponed today by the special Sem ate committee headed by Senator Sutherland, republican, West Vir- ginia, until Friday.
 Brigadier General Sawyer was be- fore the committee today in execu- tive session and was said to have given information regarding several bureau affairs, particularly relating to disposal of army surplus property at Perryville, Md. General Sawyer was said to be of the opinon that from $S,000,000 to $10,000, 900 of blan- kets, towels and other surplus war supplies, turned over to the vet erans' bureau by the war depart ment, had been sold at too low a price and at times over his objec- tion. Much of the property, it was said, might have been used by other government departments but large part went to private purchasers at 20 cents on the dollar.
 General Sawyer was said to have given the opinion that a congression- al investigation of the bureau, such as is being considered by the Senate committee, might not be objection able if conducted along proper lines and with a view to aiding the new administration of the bureau, but he was also said to have expressed the view that an investigation might be- come such as to hamper the new ad- ministration.
 There was said to be growing opinion among republican leaders in t.. quiry of the bureau might better await the reforms expected from the new administration after a successor is chosen to Director Forbes.

But Donald Muir had no right
to think anything about 1t one

the only one who had any author

Yet Donald was always good and
preciated how much his friendship
had meant since her mothers
death four years ago. It was he
who had taken her to the theater
when she had been at home at
Christmas and Easter. It was he
who had reminded her father that
a certain summer camp to which
she had longed to go was really
in a more desirable location than
the one to which. Harrison Scott
had proposed sending her. Yes,
Muir might be much older than
she, and very grave and serious
at times, yet he certainly was
