REP. JULIUS MILITARY LEADER. DIES ON COAST
Was Chairman Of House Military Affairs Con-
 mittee Many Sessions
{ By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec 1S.- Julius Kahn, for A years a representa- tive in congress from the Fourth Cal ifornia district and chairman of the house military affairs committee for many sessions, died here today after an extended illness.
 He was 63 years old. His wife, Mrs. Florence Prag Kahn, his two sons, Julius, Jr., and Conrad, three brothers and his mother-in-law were at his bed side when death came.- The funeral will be held in San Francisco next Sunday from Temple Emanuel, ac- cording to plans announced tonight.
 Mir. Kahns illness, which began about a year ago with an infected foot and a disease of the kidneys, did not become critical until yesterday. At 6 D. m. last night he became unconscious and at 10 a. m. today suffered cere- bal hemorrhage. At 1 1:30 p. m. he died.
 Mir. Kahn is the second congressman from this district to die within slightly more than a year. The other was John I. Nolen who died in December, 1923. His widow, Mrs. Mae D. Nolen, sue ceeded him.

SHOALS DEADLOCK CONTINUES
Commission Compromise Bill Reintro. duced As Hope Of Action Glimmers

Commission Compromise Bill Reintro-
 duced As Hope Of Action Glimmers
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-(By As sociated Press. )-Senate leaders today failed in an attempt to fix time for a final vote on Muscle Shoals and it appeared tonight that final action on the question could not be reached until after the Christmas recess.
 Taking advantage of the parliament tary situation in the senate, the group of senators favoring reference of the whole question to a commission moved forward with their proposals in the hope of effecting compromise.
 Both Senators Underwood, democrat, Alabama, and Norris, republican, Ne braska, leaders of the two main Mus cle Shoals factions, expressed determi- nation to follow through their original courses. The Alabama senator declared he would hold the question before the senate until some action is taken, and Senator Norris reiterated that he would oppose a final vote until the subject was discussed fully.
 Under senate rules, nothing can be done to stop this discussion. Senator Underwood has the Muscle Shoals issue before the senate under unanimous con sent agreement for disposition of the question and he can hold it there until March 4 if he chooses. There is no limitation on debate in the senate and opponents are at liberty to discuss the bill as long as they wish.
 Advocates of the commission plan de- clare that if the senate fight reaches the proportions of a deadlock, they ex- pect the major forces to turn to their proposal in search of compromise. So far the leaders behind the Underwood bill have shown no signs of yielding their position and claim the Under wood bill eventually will be passed
 Late today both Senators Wadsworth,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-19

republican, New York, and Jones, re- publican, Washington, re-submitted their amendments to create a commis- sion with notifications in each of them. They plan to wait until either the Norris or the Underwood bill is accepted in the committee of the whole as an amendment to the house bill, which would have leased the property to Henry Ford, and when the question gets back to the senate in its legisla- tive capacity, introduce them as amend ments. If the Underwood bill is ac- cepted as the amendment, Senator Nor ris plans to offer another bill as an amendment to the Underwood measure.
 Near the close of today's session, Sen ator Norris blocked two attempts of Senator Curtis, republican leader, to bring debate to a close. The republican leader first asked unanimous consent to vote on the question next Saturday and failing in that, he asked consent to limit debate to ten minutes for each senator on the less important amend mentS.
 : To Urge Night Sessions
 Facing objection from the Nebraska senator to both of these propcsials, he served notice that the would move to- morrow to hold night sessions. Senator Norris retorted heatodly that the repub- lican leader was attempting to shut off debate in violation of senate traditions, and declared he would move tomorrow 10 adjoin at o'clock each day.
 "If you try to force final vote by physical endurance, you won't get it. shouted Senator Norris.
 Senator Smith, democrat, South Carolina offered an amendment to the Norris bill which would require the government corporation to produce at least 10000 tons of fixed nitrogen in the first year of operation, 10000 tons the second year, 30,000 tons the third year and 10000 tons annually thereafter, conversion of this nitrogen into ammuni- tion i'll time of war into "balanced, com lnercial fertilizers" in time of peace, would be required
 Senator Wadsworth modified his amendment calling for the appointment ot committee composed of the secretary ot war, secretary of agriculture, a power expert, chemist and one other mem- Der, whose conclusions, if approved by the president would be considered final. to provide either Cor the leasing of the property or of government opera ton m partnership with business cor poratiOn.

ways and means for promoting better economic, commercial and political un- derstanding between said nations"
 There was only short furry of dis cussion on the house floor, during which Representative Britten declared he was convinced Japan was making war pre- parations against the United States and number of Pacific coast representa- tives, including Chairman Johnson of the immigration committee, declared the resolutions ill-advised and untimely.
 Even the author of the proposal con- eeded after he witnessed its reception that there was no hope of its adoption. Undaunted. by the attack, however, he announced that as a member of the naval committee he would present to- morrow another resolution, designed to insure a thorough investigation of the relative fighting strength of the navy.

 tempt to justify his statement that the talent of Underwood had been at the service of railroads and corporations seeking favors, without willingness to pay for them.
 Doesn't Question Motives
 ''I do not question Senator Under woods motives" he said. But I based that statement on his record in con- gress." Specifically he referred to var ious measures Senator Underwood in his thirty years service has supported. One was the bill of Senator Heflin provid- ing for a dam in the Coosa river which President Taft vetoed. Others, bills de- vised for the construction in the Ten nessee river of what is now Wilson dam. In his last was the Esch-Cummins rail- road acts, a measure which would have put price control of iron and steel in the hands of the President, District of Columbia rent bill, phosphorus match bill, minimum wages for women in the District of Columbia and others.
 Answers In Affirmative
 Senator Overman, Sterling and Butler asked the witness if every other senator who stood with Underwood respecting either or all of the above measures, was equally subject to the charge of serving corporatio and the witness, after de- murring, was forced finally to answer in the affirmative. The witness de- livered speech in favor of the Norris bill and declared that it's operation would give Birmingham electric cur rent at one-third the rate Birmingham pays today. Respecting the governments lack of transmission lines, he declared that the government should declare those of the Alabama Power company common carriers and require them to deliver Muscle Shoals current.
 He apparently proved that the cleo trical energy developed in the country

through him, to criticize a brother sena- tor.
 Il read the message from the floor as it was written," he said. Immediately afterwards I was advised by several senators that I should not have per mitted the criticism against Senator McKellar, and finally the Tennessee senator, himself, informed me that he would not have permitted a Tennessee commission to say things like that con- corning me. So I made the changes" '"
 Today Senator McKellar, insinuating that Senator Underwood was not sin cere in his contention that fertilizer would be manufactured at Muscle Shoals, referred to a statement by Un- derwood in the house in 1912 in de- fense of the Senator Heflin bill, author izing the construction of dam in the Coosa river for the production of nj trates for munitions and fertilizers.
 Vetoed By Taft
 But no nitrates were manufactured" :" he said. The bill in question was vetoed by President Taft. Senator McKellar did not make utterance to that effect.
 Senator Underwood at the time was engaged in. conversation with Senator Caraway of Arkansas. Senator Heflin was not in the chamber.

Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Although Senator McKellar, in various speeches. had alleged that there was collision between the Alabama Public Service commission and the Alabama Power company and had actually said that there are no differences between the two, he appealed to the mythical 'sena- torial courtesy" and with success, to prevent the Alabama public utilities commission taking him sharply to task.
 The commission, moved by the insin- nations of the Tennessee senator, wired Senator J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama an answer with the request that he put that answer in the record. The answer was highly critical of Senator Nickel lar and Senator Copeland of New York The answer, however, as it was put in to the record, contained no reference to McKellar or Copeland by name.
 Heflin Explains
 Asked this morning by this bureau why he had not put into the record the answer of the Alabama commission without censoring it, Senator Heflin re- piled that he had been convinced that it would not be in harmony with the cour- tesy prevailing among senators for him to permit the Alabama commission,

two peoples themselves, it is the belief of the President and his advisers that the best of international relationships will rule between the two capitals. But they do not conceal their recognition that if the American and Japanese peo- ples aggravate their misunderstanding out of all proportions to their import ance, two governments will become in creasingly embarrassed when they deal with one another.
 Whether MT. Hughes has in mind any particular subject of recent agitation when he issued his statement today was not revealed. State department off cials declined to add anything to his pronouncement welcoming the new ann bassador, but 1t was recalled signifi- cantly that such a statement on such precedent in the history of American di- plomacy. The statement was as fol- lows:
 The secretary's statement said:
 Hughes Statement.
 "Not only is MT. Matsudiara a dip lomat of most distinguished service but Japan has paid us a signal honor in selecting as her ambassador to his post, a man who through himself and his wife represents two of the most important and historically famous families of the Empire.
 q am convinced that we can look forward now to the most cordial rela- tions with Japan and that these rela- tions will be greatly facilitated by the mission of MT. Matsudaira."
 Long before the secretary acted, word had reached the state department of MT. Britten's plan to present his resolu- tion. No official of the administra- tion would comment on it publicly, but it was apparent as soon as it reached the floor of the house administration leaders had recognized the possibilities of such state at a time when rela- tive naval strength between the United States and Japan already had led to widespread debate. Those house mem- bers who would discuss it, received it almost without exception, with expres- sions of amazement and protest. Its text follows:

MORN PROBABLE SUCCESSOR
Pennsylvanian In Line For Kahn Post
 On Military Committee

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The va cancy in the chairmanship of the mili- tary affairs committee of the house caused today by the death of Represent ative Kahn of California probably will be filled by Representative Morin, re- publican, of Pennsylvania. Representa- tive Mckenzie of Illinois is ranking ranking republican on the committee. but he was not candidate for re- election in November and Mir. Morin is next in line.
 Born in Germany, Julius Kahn probably will be remembered longest, as far as his legislative career goes, for his part in putting through the World war program of Woodrow Will son.
 At the time of the entry of the United States into the conflict, the democrats controlled congress. In the house, how ever, Chairman Dent, of the military committee. a democrat, and majority of it's members were opposed to the administration conscript bill. So Mir. Kahn. as ranking republican of the committee, took up the cudgels and successfully led the fight for passage of the measure which revolutiOnized America method of raising a narmy.
 Time and again during the war the veteran California legislator steered proposals sponsored by the democratic administration and after the armistice, as chairman of the military committee, he took charge of legislation for re- organizing the army on a peace-time basis.
 Although he presided over commit tee sessions during the drawn out con alterations of Muscle Shoals legislation, he took no part in the controversy over Henry Ford's offer when it reached the point of floor discussion during the last session. Before the vote came, Mr. Kahn. broken in health, had re- turned to his home in California. hop ing to be benefited by the climate there.
