Secretary Weeks carried into today's

In Detroit last night by Henry Furd
assafliEg the War Secretary for his
power plant--a part of the Muscle
Shoals. Ala. properties-fo the Ala
bama Power Company.
Mr. Weeks. prior to the cabinet
meeting, refused all requests for COM

Ford declared that political influence
working through the War Secretary
had prevented him from obtaining fhe
Muscle Shoals properties and would
continue to prevent his acquisition of

position of the President. as II has
been stated at the White House is
that Mr. Ford be given every oppor-
tunity to buy and lease the Muscle
still before Congress, has not been
affected by the sale of the Gorgas
project.
Mr. Coolidge. after the recent sale
of the Gorgas plant. told visitors that
the government did not regard the
plant as essential to the purposes
which Mr.. Ford had stated he had in
view in acquiring Muscle Shoals. AS
the President put 1t, the administra-
tion feels that the Gorgas plant bore
about the same relation to Muscle
Shoals as the stem does to an apple
after the fruit hes FALLEN from the
tree.
Administration officials. including
the President, have asserted that Mr..
Ford could build an auxiliary steam
plant for less than the three and one
half million dollars represented in the
Gorgas plant sale, which sum, 1t has
been announced. would be credited to
Mr.. Ford on his $5,000.000 bid for the
entire property. The view OF the ad-
ministration Is that the Ford offer
still lis before Congress and that body
must determine the matter.

Rioux, at the suggestion of the lum-
herman tried the same stunt upon
the Swede and succeeded.
Wild with rage, the bully smote
RiOuX upon the face as he sat upon

one of his hefty legs and gave the
Swede a push that sent him crashing

three ribs and knocking him uncon-

Here he threw his human bludgeon

closing the door, he picked up an
AK and invited the other lumbermen

AUSTRALIANS AHEAD
OF FRENCH NETMEN
By the Associated Press.


BROoKLINE. Mass. August II. -
The Davis cup tennis team of Aus
tralia today will have an opportunity
of winning the right to meet the rep
resentatives of the United States in
the challenge round for possession Of
the trophy by conquering their French
rivals in a doubles match in the final
round of international play. Yester-
day the Antipodeans won two singles
encounters, and a victory today would
decide the series.
Australia will be represented by
| James q. Anderson and John II.
Hawkes., who won their singles
matches in straight sets yesterday,
while: France will rely upon Rene
Lacoste and jacques Brugnon. their
respective victims in the opening
days play.

weak by comparison with that of his

balls which the Frenchman found

compelled TO continue in the tourna-

played strong consistent game.
The match was a splendid exhibition
and neither player had much of an

resourcefui. but he lacked control at
times and his nets and outs were

GEORGIA UTILITIES
IN REHEARING PLEA
Cite Other Cases in Support of Re-
quest for Reorening of Gas Rate
and Valuation Dispute.

The Georgia Railway and Power
Company and the Atlanta Gas Light
Company filed in the Supreme Court
yesterday a petition in support of a
recent motion for a rehearing in
preme Court during the closing hours
of it's last term adversely to the con-
tentions of those companies.
Most OF the grounds urged as
reasons why the case should be re-
opened were considered by the court
before 1t delivered it's opinion and
were embodied by Justice McKenna
in his dissent.
Tho majority opinion in this case
which is the latest decision by this
court on the subject" the petition
asserted, when read in connection
with the opinions in the Southwest
ern Bell Telephone case and the
Bluefield Water Works and Improve
ment Company case must neces-
ssrlly create grave doubt as to the
law and make it uncertain whether
the greatly. increased cost of con-
struction since the pre-war period
can in effect be ignored where a
commission says that it has consid-
ored 1t, though the record shows
that 1t did not accord proper. if any
weight thereto.
1T is the established rule in this
court that the present value of the
property at the time the rate is being
nxed IS the amount on which a utfl-
1ty shall be. allowed to earn.
This Is the first instance in which q
company has ever been denied the
right TO earn rates on the present
value of its property"
The petition pointed out that tho
case had been argued before and de-
cided by court of seven iustices
and asserted that two cases. involv-
ing substantially the same issues
had been argued before and dec,dad
by a full bench, and that in the lat
ter cases "the principle for the vaIu-
alton of properties for rate-makinp
purposes was announced in direct
the majority opinion in this case"
