SHOALS INQUIRY l. TO BE LAUNCHED
 ON DECEMBER }
Alleged Propaganda To Be Subject Of Senate
 Probe
tWashington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, June 9.-A resolu- tion ordering an investigation into so- called Muscle Shoals propaganda and lobbying, as alleged to have been in- dulged in and practiced both by those who supported and opposed. the Henry Ford offer the last session, will be in- troduced December in the Senate by either Senator Norris of Nebraska, or Senator Brookhart of Iowa, it is learned today.
 According to the former, it will not make such an investigation unneces- sary because on the day the resolution will be introduced the Muscle Shoals controversy will formally be put before the Senate to remain there until dis posed of. Echoing that sentiment, Senator Brookhart declared that the investigation will have a salutary ef- feet on all future situations.
 Following the democratic convention in New York, Alabama members of Congress will investigate independent of each other for the ascertainment of what course the people would favor in the event anything should prevent the enactment of the Mckenzie bill, unamended, which embodies the Ford offer. While the members are confi- dent that that offer will ultimately be accepted, they desire to have knowl- edge of what the popular attitude would be if prospects are blasted. It is already their information that senti- ment is crystalized against any con tingency which might put the Alabama Power company in charge of Muscle Shoals power.
 Charles Sumner of Sheffield, dis cussing the possibility that Ford's of- fer will be rejected, declared that North Alabama would insist that in whatever contract is written it be pro vided ,hat a definite amount of power be set aside for the operation of plants established and to be established in that immediate section.

RIDING TELLS OF
 APPRENTICE DAYS
Fairfield Kiwanis Hear Bir-
 mingham Story
Fairfield Bureau)

FAIRFIELD, Ala, June 9.-An i'm teresting story is being related in Fair field following intimate revelations made in an address here before the Xii wanis club by H. c. Ryding, vice presi- dent of the Tennessee Goal, Iron and Railroad company. Years ago, when Birmingham was not much larger than Fairfield is today, the principal indus try of the struggling city was the old rolling mill on Avenue B, somewhere west of Eighteenth street. The roll ing mill produced no less a parsonage than the present Secretary of Labor Jim Davis, and was a noted institution when Birmingham was climbing up- ward. During those days a committee of the owners of the Birmingham Roll ing Mill company found it necessary and worth while to journey to England and see how rolling mills such as the one in Birmingham was to be should be operated. A
 The committee, therefore, went to England and inspected some of the mills of that country. At one of the largest the committee was given into the charge of an apprentice boy, who was in structed by his managing director to show the men all they wanted to see. tell them all they wanted to know and generally to display that brand of hos pitality for which England and the southern states are noted. The boy did as directed and was thanked by the Birmingham iron masters for his cour- tesy.
 The boy happened to be H. c. Ryding, who is today vice president of the Ten neSsee Coal Iron and Railroad com pany, a concern which has succeeded the old rolling mill as the main stay of this district, and is perhaps 100 times as big as the plant, whose owners sought from an apprentice in England some points of industrial management. The story as related by Mir. Ryding to his hosts Friday night, and his analysis of the changes in industrial conditions which have taken place since that time, created more than passing interest among the prominent residents of this community who were privileged to hear him speak to the Kiwanians.

matters, a predeliction for alcoholic stimulants and a strange delight over causing pain and suffering.
 President Burton and his faculty as- sociates will be asked about the conduct of Loeb and Leopold in their classes and in connection with university &C., tivities. Grove has information that the two are model students, that their class room work was brilliant and that their studious bearing about the university had evoked much favorable comment from professors and students who did not know them well.
 Imparted Knowledge
 But outside the scholastic halls, where they were making a reputation for collegiate attainments, Leopold and Loeb were participants in an entirely different kind of existence, students questioned on the Chicago university campus told the detectives. Thes two Jekyl- -Hydes spent most of their time outside the class rooms planning un- natural revels, drinking bouts, the inn parting of loathesome information con- corning sex perversion to other students, to young boys, and even to adolescent girls, the states attorneys office was informed.
 Furthermore, according to some of the students, seven of whom testified be- fore the grand jury Monday, Leopold and Loeb were members of a group that had made a speciality of associating with boys much younger, most of them the sons of neighbors' families, who were at tending exclusive preparatory schools The names of some of these boys and | students have been furnished to the authorities.

Such teams as Pittsburgh Penn State

very clever In making such plays go

generally crafty crew.
But none of these ever pulled a play
quite like the one told Of by a man who

My quarterback, whenever he saw fit
would complain to the referee that the
opposing team was offside or was
holding and. therefore, deserving of a
penalty. OF course, the official would
take no heed Of his plea. Then the
player, apparently quite perturbed
would declare, All right, I'll take the
distance myself Accordingly, he
would begin pacing off the yards, and
once clear would start a sprint for the
