SHOALS BIDDER
SEES CHEAPER
FERTILIZER
William CaIIan, OF Power
Company, Testifies at
Senate Hearing

A saving to farmers of IS per
cent on commercial fertilizers can
be effected through the manufac-
ture at Muscle Shoals Of concen.
trated fertilizer ingredients under
the offer Of the Associated Power
Companies, William Callan, New
York, of the Mathieson Alkali
Works told the Senate Agricultural
Committee today. Callan's COM
pany would be associated in fer
tilizer manufacture at the Shoals
under the power company's bid.
. Callan described new processes
which his company has perfected
for manufacturing concentrated fer
tilizer more cheaply than under
existing methods.
Present methods of manufacture
from an economic standpoint, Cal
Ian said.
1T is believed that the solution
of the fertilizer problem lies in the
manufacture and sale of concen-
trated fertilizer ingredients for mix
ing into the various commercial
fertilizers for which there is a de-
mand," Callan declared.
AT Muscle Shoals substantial re.
auctions can be effected In the cost
of producing ammonia and phoS-
phoric acid, concentrated ammo
MUM phosphate, ammonium sui
phate and other concentrated fer
ti!,zer ingredients, which would
make It possible for farm associa-
lions or individuals to purchase the
ingredients for 100 tons of fertilizer
at about 5000 and thus save about
81 800, or $13 per ton, or about IS
per cent" he declared.
Callan pointed out that by the
use OF concentrated fertilizer, vast
sums can be saved farmers on

Harry Canister, twenty, were found
In an automobile on an old logging
trail In the Blues Ridge mountains,
near here, today.
Mountaineers who had threatened
young Canister because he had taken

responsible for the double murder

The pair had gone to the peak Of
the mountain yesterday afternoon In
search OF flowers. When they failed
to return during the night, the
tather, Charles Canister, and George
Albright. an uncle of Miss Ellen.
berger, formed a posse and started
the search. The father found them
dead at daybreak today.
Miss Ellenberger was seated in
the drivers seat, her hands on the
steering wheel. Canister had one
foot on the running board and his
hands on the open door Of the car,
ready to climb in. The sho: had
struck Canister in the back. tore

Canister some months ago was a

First reports reaching here from
the place where the bodies were
found, said that no revolver had

DUEL
No Favorite Is Elected in
Famous Kentucky Turf
cIassic-5ettlng Light
By DAVIS j. WALSH.
international News Service Sports
Editor


LOUISVILLE, KY, May IL
Fifty golden years Of thoroughbred
racing will be celebrated today at
the course at Churchill Downs with
the running OF the fiftieth ami.
Versary Of the great Kentucky
Derby. Only thoroughbred NOR.
archy can prevail at the Derby
and the winner, decked with gar.
lands. Of laurel and forget.me.nots
will be worthy of the highest honor
within the gift Of Americas turf
dom.
Which will be the fortunate colt7
Only time and turf luck can de-
termine the ultimate winner. The
West claims Black Gold and Beau
Butler as its own; the East places
faith with Mad Play and Transmute,
but the gambling gentlemen, who
look 80 wise with field glasses and
racing chart, seem to be caught.
FavOrite Not Picked.
They don't appear to have a
logical favorite in the field Of twenty
for the first time in modern years.
You hear glib conversation about
Beau Butler and Blacl: Gold, but the
coin of the well-known realm
seems to be more or less absent.
That it will be fair race fairly
ruin, even the most acrimonious dis.
setter cannot deny.
The sun was round and of re-
markable sheen and altogether
everything was all to- the rialto
this morning.
The West says Black Gold will
step off with the richest prize that
ever a Derby horse won. The East
has shot its roll on Mad Play Of
the well-known Sinclair stable Of
happy memory.
The race las resolved itself into
an International debate and only
the long shots need apply. Among
the latter have been found many
supporters In the crowd of 100000
which settled down unsolicited on
this quiet Southern town since yes.
terday at daybreak.
An Open Field.
The Derby promises to he the
most open field of the twentieth
century and by the same token
appears to have attracted the most
cosmopolitan and bourgeois field.
Frankly speaking, it is the most
mediocre field that has gone to
the post in the Derby within mod
ern times.
The sum Of $4,000 in real Ameri.
can money has been offered to the
winner and for the life Of us we
do not see why not.
For the first time in recent years
the race promises to develop a duel
between East and West and there
also happens to be strictly per.
sonal duel on between the Sinclair
and Bradley Stables, each Of which
has accounted for a Derby in past
years.
Favored among the entrants in
the conventionally plentiful field,
Black Gold, Transmute, Mad I,lay
and Beau Butler run In front in the
betting. Off somewhere in the rear
rank Altawood, Chilhowee, Nautical
and King CORN III. are getting a
large play, particularly the latter,
King CORN II, last minute choice,
had not a few supporters in the
early money. The same might be
said for Altawood and -hiihowee,

McAdOO Is Satisfied.
David L. Rockwell, campaign
manager for William G. McAdoo,
announced that Senator Harrison's
election was satisfactory to Nc
Adoo's followers.
Harrison is serving his first term
In the Senate. but he was a member
Of the House of Representatives in
the Sixty.second. Sixty-third, Sixty
fourth and Sixty-fifth Congresses.
Born in Mississippi in 1851, he
was educated in his home State and
, in Louisiana. His entry into poll
tics was as a country district at.
torney. He resigned from that po-
Oition to enter Congress in 1910.
McAdoo himself later commented
on the selection.

Text of Statement.
Chairman Cordell Hull made the
following statement:
1.-THE membership of the commit.
tee felt in deciding on Harrison
that party unity and party har.
mony must be considered Of greater
Importance than any other element.
1t was possible to have found any

McAdoo men might place in the
field.
Harrison has for several years oc.
cupied prominent position on the
Democratic side OF the Senate, and
since the Republican administration
came into power has been account.
ed one OF the Democratic leaders.
A ready wit, sharp tongue and
a zest for give.and.take debate, has,
by common consent forced him to
bear good deal Of the Democratic
oratorical honors. He is recognized
as one of the wits Of the Senate.
and his sallies and thrusts at the
administration often convulse the
galleries.
Supported Cox.
Harrison went to San Francisco
In 1920 with an "open mind" but
before the end or that memorable
struggle he lined up with the Cox
faction and was influential in the
ultimate nomination Of the Ohio
Governor. After the nomination, he
came to New York and rendered
valuable assistance to George White,
the Cox manager. by organizing the
Democratic Speakers Bureau.
