Jefferson Campaign In Full Swing Saturday-Headquar
 ters Being Made Ready

Campaign to elect Senator Oscar
 Underwood President of the United
 States will be in full swing in Jeffer son county Saturday, Major Matt Mur- phy, campaign manager for the coun- ty, announced late Friday. Headquarters were being established in Rooms 230 and 231 of the Morris hotel at this time. Major Murphy an- nounced that full staff was being ap- pointed to conduct the affairs of the candidate in the county, and that an announcement of the results would be made within day or so.
 Jefferson county headquarters are being established by Major Murphy un- der the direction of A. NJ.

 An active and thorough campaign will be conducted in Jefferson county, according to Major Murphy. Speakers are now being prepared and campaign literature is being printed to distribute at an early date, he announced. One of the most interesting political fights in the history of the county and Ala bama will result, he said.
 Ben G. Perry, one of the best known democratic in the county, will open the Bessemer headquarters of the Under wood campaign at the same time, Ma Jor Murphy announced. MT. Perry will announce his staff later.

House during this period. Several times, the President and the colonel held private conferences over the af- fairs of the Veterans Bureau. And once, the mists about the throne part for photographic glimpse of Forbes begging the President abjectly for another chance. It is impossible to set date on this episode. Perhaps It occurred between the first executive order stopping shipments from the Per ryville depot, and the second,
 If so, the colonel missed his chance. Astonishing information reached the White House. The second executive order, like the first, had been ignored. The goods had been moving steadily outward. So few of the supplies listed to Thompson and Kelly remained that 1t seemed better to let them all go npw-the scrapings with the pud- ding, the tail with the hide.
 Forbes Part In Deal
 In strict justice to Colonel Forbes. let me say that the degree of his par ticipation in this violation of executive orders seems uncertain. Perhaps he was only careless; perhaps subordi- mates commanded this act of in sub- oralnation. Forbes testified to that S.ASNe CCAVAC tuC OcuACG cOmmlEree, Al the request of counsel for the Thomp- son Kelly company, report of Gene ral James A, Drain was filed with the Senate committee. He says that the firm bears an excellent reputation and that it is hard to estimate the true value of the property which it bought And he concludes:
 "A careful study of the facts compels an unprejudiced observer to believe that the Perryville sale in: yoived either cupidity or stupidity. As between these two. am inclined to think, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that it was case of stupidity. Blame for such sale. which was unwise and unjustifiable un- der the circumstances, should rest with the Veterans Bureau"

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 15.- Holding that electricity in the form dis tributed commercially for heat, light and power is not a manufactured Ear ticle of domestic growth or of domestic raw material" Chancellor James B. Newman, Davidson county chancery court, today decided in favor of the de- fendant in the antitrust suit brought by the state against the Tennessee Electric Power company and several af- filiated electric corporations for which 1t was formed.
 The state, through Attorney General Frank M. Thompson, had sought the forfeiture of the charters of the de- fendant concerns alleging that their contracts and subsequent consolidation were iR violation of the antitrust. stat ute and common law of the state.
 The defendants were the Nashville Railway and Light company, Chatta- no6ga Railway and Light company, Tennessee Power company, Chattanooga and Tennessee' River Power company, Tennessee Railway, Light and Power Tennessee Electric Power and the Nashville Trust com pany, which merely acted as custo- dian of securities

tive order, Colonel Forbes no longer reau, governing the dispensat tion of $45O, ,0O0, 900 a year. But clouds were gathering at other quarters of the ho- rizon. Mortimer still fingered in Phila- delphia, nursing his grievance. He had begun to talk about old episodes in the history of the bureau, to get to- gether his papers, Charles E. Cramer, head of the legal department, was on the Pacific coast. Many of the, trans actions I have described in these ar ticies involve him-the' business of the Northampton site, for example, the Livermore purchase; finally the deter imitation to sell the Perryville supplies. On November IS, 1922, the day before OLeary had the chief, co-ordinator clear this sale, Mrs. Cramer sent the following telegrams from Washington
 Frank Graham, Higgins Building, Los Angeles, cal:
 Get hold of. Charlie. Have him tele- phone me or send word where can telephone him at once. Things very wrong in bureau. Most important.

 Death has fallen heavily on the characters in this story. Within few months after the Perryville sale ended Colonel Forbes administration, J. W. San Francisco and President Har- Black of St. Louis. Tom O'Day of ding were all dead. They passed in the course of nature. But Cramer com mitted suicide. 70
