FORD WINS HIS FIGHT
FOR HIGH DAM SITE
Surplus Power To Be Generated
From Mississippi River To Be
Available To Public

WASHINGTON, March 81
Coming in under the Federal Water
Power Act and apparently prepared
to accept all of its provision, Henry
Ford has received preliminary
permit to develop power at the Fed
eral High Dam between St. Paul and
Minneapolis. This dam was erected
by the Federal Government at
cost of $2,000,000 as an aid to navi-
CATION The preliminary permit was
granted by the Federal Power Com
mission.
1t is announced that the Ford Auto
Company desires to manufacture
automobiles at st. Paul.
The Ford Company, having re-
ceiyed its preliminary permit, is Civ
en- four months in which to complete
and file with the Water Power Com
mission its final plans. 1t must also
work out plan for the disposition
of any surplus power developed. The
Federal High Dam, engineers est
mate, will produce approximately 10,-
600 horsepower. The cost was ap-
proximately $2,000,000. Mr.. Ford,
it is understood, will pay the Gov
eminent approximately S150,000 a
year rental. The lease for the Fed
eral High Dam will be for so years,
at the end of which period the prop
erty will be returned to the govern
ment.
People of both Minneapolis and
st. Paul are insisting that the Ford
Motor Company be very explicit in
its agreement regarding the distri-
button of any surplus power devel-
oped Surplus power, it is stated, will
be distributed in accordance with the
provisions of the Federal Water
Power Act. That is, distribution will
be subject to both State Federal re-
gulation.
Both ST. Paul and Minneapolis in
sist that their right to benefit by any
surplus power developed should be
amply protected. President Coffman
Of the University Of Minnesota, also
claims power reservation for that in
situation. The University, he says,
wants from Is to 25 per cent of the
power generated for use in labora-
tory experimental work
The terms of the permanent per-
NIT when it is granted it is under
stood will provide not only for
proper rental charge, but it will
carry a stipulation that viii enable
the Government to participate in any
excess profits that accrue as re-
suit of the power developed.
The Federal High Dam, like the
Wilson Dam at Muscle Shoals, is both
power and navigation project
The Ford offer for the Federal
High Dam met with serious opposi-
ton upon the part of both resident
of st. Paul and Minneapolis who be.
lieved power development by the
dam should be utilized by the mum.
cipalities for lighting purposes.

SHIPPERS NOW FACE
SHORTAGE IN CARS
Public Service Commissions Ask
Public to Cooperate by Rapid
Loading and Unloading Cars

ATLANTA, March Railroad
officials here and in other sections
Of the state and the South, it was
announced today, are directing their
efforts in relieving the present car
shortage.
The shortage. cannot be absolutely
eliminated by the observance of any
rules, or set of rules, but it can be
materially reduced and the Public
service commissions of the various
states have asked that the public CO.
operate fully and heartily in the
matter.
Shippers of agricultural and other
commodities in Georgia, it is point
ed out, may be of great assistance
in preventing very serious car
shortage by complying with four
simple suggestions made by the Ala
bama Public Service commission.
The suggestions resulted from infor-
nation that sufficient cars appar-
entity are not available for the trans
portation of the present volume OF
fertilizer to the farmers and of hay
and other products to the markets.
The shortage is not due to dis
examinations against any particular
state, according to information Civ
en- out here, but is due primarily
to an unprecedented increase in all
lines of business in the nation, and
particularly in the Southeast.
The commission has requested
shippers and receivers of freight to
observe the following rules:
First. Have commodities ready
for loading when request is made
for the placement of cars.
Second. Begin loading cars the
moment they are placed for that
purpose.
Immediately notify the railroad and
issue shipping instructions with the
minimum delay.
Fourth. Unload all cars at desti-
nation as early as possible after
placement regardless Of free time
limit.
1t is shown that shippers can lend
invaluable assistance at this particu-
lar time if they will establish and
follow the policy of loading and un-
loading cars as soon as they are
placed.

RULES BOIL WEEVIL
is "ACT OF DEVIL" +"

GRIFFIN, March 21.--Judge J. A.
Dorsey, of the City Court of Griffin,
has determined the legal status of the
boil weevil. The question as to the
legal standing of this pest has been
worrying Georgia's courts and jur-
lists for some months and so the de-
cision of Judge Dorsey will do much
to clarity the law
During the trial of a case in the
City court, counsel for the defend
ant, who was being sued on a cot
ton contract, pleaded impossibility OF
performance. He showed the court
that the cotton crop Of this section
of the state had been eaten up by
the weevil, or in other words that the
defendant had been prevented from
fulfilling his contract by "an act Of
God"
Counsel for the plaintiff immed-
lately objected and then it was that
Judge Dorsey fixed the legal status
of the weevil.
"Mr Counsel" said his honor.
"this court does not agree with you
that the BOIL weevil is an act of God.
but this court now rules and holds
that the holl weevil is an act of the
devil" Objection sustained.

u. S. Treasury Head n Paris
Conferring With Allies AS To

EXPENSES OF RHINE ARMY
Waiting On Commission To De-

PARIS, March 21.-tBy the AS
sociated Press "A payment of
$20,000,000 for II years to the
United States in settlement of costs
of the American army of occupation
in Germany seems feasible in the
opinion of Elliott Wadsworth, as
sistant secretary of the American
treasury.
Wadsworth, who is comforting with
of the Allied govel
ments on the question of reimburs-
ing the United States for what she
expended in the Rhine watch told
newspapermen he was awaiting defi-
mite information as to the proposed
number of iastallments, their man
ner of payment and the question Of
priority and whether America would
get a definite per centage of Ger
man reparations.

DEMPSEY HAS HELD
CHAMPIONSHIP A YEARS

With all this trouble of securing
suitable ring opponents for the re-
doubtable Jack Dempsey, the ques-
tion is being asked as to how long
the Giant Killer is likely to rule the
roost. Also, will he set a new high
mark for leading the heavyweight
division?
IL is going four years now since
Dempsey completely upset the pugi-
listic dope by toppling over the huge
Willard at Toledo, and with no
especially formidable looking foes
looming up across the horizon just
now at least, Jack has an excellent
chance Of hanging up a new record.
In fact Dempsey is over half way
to the coveted goal now, the long
distance" title being held by Jack
johnson, who showed the way for
seven years, or from 1908 to 1915.
jim Jeffries was out in front five
years, as was also Corbett. Will
lard led the pack four years. JEFF
fries was in the most championship
battles-seven.
In the last 81 years, or since Mar
quis of Queensberry rules came into
effect, the heavyweight title has
changed hands on but eight oc-
casions, inclduing Jeffries' gift of the
championship to Marvin Hart when
the boilermaker retired from the
ring. And unlike several OF. the other
divisions, heavyweight titleholder,
once dethroned, has never regained
possession of his crown. Corbett,
Fitzsimmons and Jeffries all az
tempted "come-backs" but failed.

lima, North Carolina and Virginia.
are they alf reckless, and appropriat-
ing unreasonable amounts for the
support of their educational institu-
tions? Or is Georgia failing to rise
to her serious responsibilities as the
Empire State of the South?
1t is unnecessary to ask that ques-
ton.
No one will challenge the sound
ness of education-the vocational
training of the young men and wo-
men to take up intelligently and ef
ficienctly the responsibilities of the
future-as an investment, and in
proportion as the State invests ip it,
so shall we prosper.

GFG|I G0MES HERE
TO TALK WORLD PEACE
Claims He Is Not Crusader For
League of Nations, But Work
ing For Understanding

LONDON, March 21-Lord Rob-
ert Cecil virtual author Of the
League of Nations covenant, says his
Forthcoming visit to the United
States isn't crusade to shove the
League of Nations down the Amer
lean throat. But he's going to talk
about it considerably.
"I'm going to give Americans
advice" he said, in an interview with
NEA Service on the eve of his de-
parture for New York. But l will
discuss the league and its accom-
plishments. Also the world court.
And if Americans ask me what
America ought to do / shall honest
ly tell them that it is for Americans
themselves to determine"
Lord Robert expects to see Presi-
dent Harding and Former President
Wilson. He will be the guest of
friends who have urged him to visit
the United States; he has never been
there, though he has visited Canada.
Speeches on his list include New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chica-
go and Cincinnati. Other cities may
be added.
The Taste Cecil project, which
will be discussed by the League of
Nations assembly next June, will be
fully explained in his American
speeches.
fUnder the league covenant" he
said, nations ought to prepare plans
for a reductions of armaments. But
the trouble is to find a plan taking
into account all the present Euro
pean circumstances.
"My plans essential principle is
that you can't ask a state to reduce
ornaments without likewise furnish
ing a guaranty against aggression.
The covenant promises this, but my
plan makes it more definite
"Any state wishing to reduce arm
aments, and fearing possible attack,
would lay the matter before the
league, explain the condition in
which it finds itself, and explain the
military or naval or aerial aid it
deemed necessary if it disarmed par
tally. The league would then nego'
tiate with member nations concern
ing the specific treaty guaranteeing
such military, naval or aerial aid.
"The obligation to reduce arma-
ments could not be invoked against
a state until such guaranty pact
was concluded In brief: No guar
antees without promise of arma-
ment reduction, and no armament re-
duction without guaranty against all
aggression.
"I shall also explain the plan dis
cussed on the continent to prevent
trouble where two neighbor states
become nervous about each others
intentions. The plan provides that a
strip along both sides Of the frontier
be neutralized to the extent that rail-
ways would be built merely for COM
mercial and not strategic purposes,
and no soldiers, forts, or military
preparations of either state be al
lowed within that strip. A zone per-
haps 20 miles broad would be suffi-
cient to prevent any sudden incur
sion by open country into the others
territory"
Lord Robert will sail on the Ma
jestie March 21.
