Secretary Of War Brings Up
Magnate's Attack on His
Sale of Gorgas Plant.

Henry Ford's attack upon Secre-
tary of War Weeks for the sale by
the government CT the .Gorgas steam
and power plant at Muscle Shoals,
Ala, to the Alabama Power Com.
pany was laid directly before Presi-
dent Coolidge and the cabinet to-
day..
The newspaper reports of the De
troit auto manufacturers charges
that he was prevented by political
influence from obtaining Muscle
Shoals were presented to the cahi-
net meeting by Secretary Weeks
himself. -
asked the advice Of the President
and his advisers as to what further
action should be taken by the Fed
eral government.
One of the controlling reasons
why Secretary Weeks disapproved
before Congress the Ford bid for
Muscle Shoals, the War Depart
ment said today, was because Ford
refused to insert in his contract
a definite provision guaranteeing
that he would manufacture cheap
fertilizer.
Also, Weeks opposed the Sugar
lease provision.
At the White House, it was
learned that the Administration
has not changed it's view that sale
of Gorgas does not impair Forns
offer for Muscle Shoals; and that
the sale, under the option arrange
ment with the Alabama Power Com
pany, was the only course open to
the Federal Government.

The first electric plant in Alex.

established in 1889. This plant,
owned by the city. generated the
power for sixty arc lamps to light
the streets. Electricity'was not used
for general distribution for lighting

The overnight lineup was taken
as a harbinger of a near capacity
crowd at the stadium this afternoon.
Had the Yanks been beaten yes.
terday the attendance probably
would have fallen off after the
manner Of a drunkard from the
curb stone.
But the ability Of the Yanks, par.
hcu1arly Ruth, to hit them high
and far, In spite OF the intelligencia
of the dugout, has captured the
popular fancy and it is probable
that all the buttonhole makers in
the Bronx viii be there today.
Another matter that has appealed
to the merry villagers is the fact
that McGraw has continued to have
his men pitch to Ruth at all timesl
In no instance since this annual
bromide began in 1921 has the
Giant manager issued instructions
to pass Ruth Intentionally, although
: there has been moments when this
proceeding would have been the
best Of good strategy.
One of these came in the ninth
inning OF yesterdays game, with
two out and Dugan on second base.
The trick, there, would have been
to walk any dangerous hitter, but
Bentley pitched to Ruth with all
the aplomb Of one facing Glass
d. pitcher and retired him on a
long fly to Stengel.

KEY WEST, Fla, oct. 12.-Just
as mysteriously as the United
States navy collier Cyclops was
swallowed up by the sea a few
years ago, the fate of the City Of
Everett, tanker, which yesterday
sent out frantic IS o. s." calls that
she was sinking stern first may
never be known.
This was the belief expressed in

rescue vessels reported back that
all efforts to locate the sinking
tanker had failed.
For hours the Comal and A. G..
Bedford cruised that part OF the
Gulf Of Mexico from which the
doomed steamer sent its last IS
o. So call, but no trace of 1t or
life boats could be found. The sea
was heavy; far too heavy for life
boats to weather, was the report
that both masters Of the rescue
boats sent back.
Sinking, Message Said.
The last message received from
the missing vessel was short and
significant. It read: Sinking stern
first Will launch life boats"
This was received there at noon
yesterday. Shortly afterward efforts
to get in touch with the City Of Ev-
erett were fruitless. Nearby YES.
sells that picked up the SOS. call
rushed to the spot where the boat
was reported sinking.
Believe Thirty Lost.
When they Orrfved there the sea
was heavy and growing more treach-
erous every hour. Masters ex.
pressed the belief that the crew OF
thirty men were lost when they
attempted to launch lfeboats.
No one knows the fate Of the
missing vessel. It was q tanker,
and she was sailing light. Some
believe that the fire spelled dis.
aster for the ship and death Cor

battle against a heavy sea.
