SAYS HYSTER|A IF MUSCLE SHOALS |S IF NJ IMPORTANCE
New York Congressman Launches Verbal Attack Along Line of Republican
 Obstruction Crusade

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. IT. Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals should be permitted to re- pose in the legislative waste bas- ket," Representative MaGee, re- publican, New York, declared in an address admitted today to the Congressional Record by unanimous consent of the House.
 "It is conceded" said MT. Ma Gee, "that the primary power at Muscle Shoals is too valuable to be used for fertilizer purposes. The use of secondary power, therefore, would have to be supplemented by steam power. A plant thus op- eratetd, in the opinion of great hydraulic engineers, could not sue cessfully compete with modern plants using a modern process for the production of nitrogen.
 o O O Power Proposition.
 No commercial fertilizer has ever been manufactured at Muscle Shoals ahd' Tn my Judgment, none ever will De. Muscle Shoals is power propo- sitlon, 1T Congress should determine to furnish commercial fertilizer to the farmers at reasonable prices which is most commendabe then Congress should provide for the con struction of modern plants in locall- ties where distribution of products can be readily made. It is futile to attempt to supply the farmers of Kansas, Illinois, North Dakota, ana Oregon with fertilizers manufac- tured -at Muscle Shoals under an ob- solete process. tt< HOW ever. if Congress is insistent upon entering into contract with the Ford company. and providing for the manufacture of commercial fer tilizer at Muscle Shoals, the con tracts should require not only the production of nitrogen but also the sale of commercial fertilizer by the company to the farmers of this country, regardless of any profit thereon. and not in excess of the market price thereof.
 Q Q Q
 Charncterixes Hysteria.
 Tn my judgment the hysteria of Muscle Shoals is not worthy of seri- ous consideration, After years of in vestigation and discussion Congress finally determined upon it's policy in reference to power developments as set forth in the act approved June 4 1920. Section 6 thereof provides that licenses under the act shall not be used for period exceeding 50. years No reason can be given why Con gress should not reverse this policy The government should be adminis- tered for the public advantage, not for partisan and individual advan- tages.
 We must not give away this b:rthright of the republic. In the disposition of Muscle Shoals, I ask for equity an | justice for the Ameri- can people"

WASHINGTON BUREAU
 THE AGE-HEKALD Washington. D. C.. Feb. IT

Irrespective of the fare demand ed by street car companies "back home," considerable number of Senators of the United States have gone on record as favoring a D. cent fare in Washington.
 The vote in A the Senate was necessitated by amendment pro- posed by ST ssS cKellar of Ten nessee fthorizing the Shrin 90 c1 Forthcoming con VI 2xe use of the Wash

 The McKellar resolution was defeated by vote of 39 to 25.
 Previous to the vote, Senator Heflin of Alabama made dra- matic speech in favor of the re- duction. Senator Shoot of Utah asked him what the companies op- erating in Alabama charged, and

RAILROADS MUST GIVE
 SERVICE OR FORD TO ELECTRIFY HIS LINES

WILLIAMSON, W. Va. Feb. l7- Henry Ford, in a statement printed here today, after he had inspected his coal properties in West Virginia. declared that '.unless the railroa 's furnish us with satisfactory seryi l will build the Detroit. Toledo and 1ronton railroad to this section, elec trfy it, and haul my own ooal.''
 Mines are working only two days a week because of an insufficient car supply, Mir Ford said. He added that in event the D. T. & l. is ex- tended from Ironton. Ohio, so miles from here, we will develop the Ohio river just as we plan to develop Muscle Shoals, and use the hydro electric power to run trains and run industries"
 "'rhe big financiers who own the railroads will not furnish enough cars to the mine centers," said MT. Ford This forces up the prices and keeps them up. The Wall street barons benefit also."
 A third reason for this policy of conspiring to keep the railroads in poor condition in not buying ade- quate equipment and charging exor- bitant rates" he said, lis that the railroad owners hope the public will become discouraged with the service and they will force the government to buy their worn-out roads at a figure which will net them millions in profits, and saddle on the already over -burdened public another exorbi- tant load of taxes"
 If he decides to extend the D. T. & l. to the coal fields MT. Ford de clared, i've will haul coal to Detroit, put it through efficient by-product coke ovens instead of wasting the most valuable part in smoke, and sell the coke at reasonable figure"

"They tied my hands and they put mask on my face," Mrs. Pace stated T tore the mask from my face and saw them drag Mir. Bright from the car and throw him down on the ground. They first tied his hands and put gag in his mouth then they drew out lash or Q leather strap and be,A him re- peatedly over his body"
 The Kidnapping occurred gar the Tabernacle Baptist church. Residents were aroused by what seemed fist fight and reported the matter to the police. Investigation disclosed de- serted motor car in which laundry bundles bearing, Bright's name were found. Several persons then told po- lice that the deserted automobile had been "pocketed" by two other ma chimes and then came the clue to Kidnapping. Deputy sheriffs were ordered to search the vicinity.
