BRANDON ORDEES PROBE OF ALDRICH MT77NY
Boy Crippled
 From Birth, Now Can Walk

CHICAGO. Jan. 12.---A 6-year- old boy from west Tennessee. eight months ago too crippled to move, today stood on his feet and then on his head to show an admiring audience of nurses and doctors that he could walk. To- morrow Jimmy Cester Malin is going back to Reelfoot Lake. Tenn, to climb q tree"
 For the first five years of his life Jimmie managed to drag himself on club feet and twisted legs, but at the end of that time even these proved too weak. Charitably inclined persons took up collection to send him to St. Lukes hospital here. Jim mics case looked hopeless, but he was laid away in a plaster cast after the operation and 1t was months before the cast was broken.
 When it came off Jimmie was probably the most unconcerned of any in the hospital. Eight nurses who attended the boy awaited the verdict tearfulIy but, hopefully.
 Jimmy later walked and to- day he was rendered banquet by those doctors and nurses. Just to prove that he was all right Jimmie stood on his chair and then stood on his head.

UNDERWOOD NOT TO OPPOSE RULE
TWo-thirds Regulation Prac- ticaIIy Certain To Be Fol-
 lowed At Convention
WASHINGTON BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD t' Washington, ID, C., Jan. 12

It is indicated on the eve of the gathering of the democratic national committee that the convention of 1924 will be the last to nominate presi- dential candidate by two- thirds ma jorlty vote.
 Some time ago a Washington cor respondent printed an article to the effect that friends of W. G. McAdoo, believing that he would enter the convention with a majority vote. were prepared to drive through the demo- cratic committee recommendation that the convention of 1924 dominate by a majority vote. This article, however, was denied today by D. C. Roper, one of the leaders In the cause of MT. McAdoo. He explained, how ever that in subsequent conventions, democrats were about convinced nominations would be made by ma jority vote.
 Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama asked for statement in this connection expressed what ap- peared to be indifference as to the action of the committed. He inti- mated a belief that a change in the rule to be effective in the forthcom- ing convention would not greatly alter matters,as he does not think it possible for any candidate to have q majority of the delegates in the beginning.
 As to the change of the rule, the Alabama candidate left the impres- sion that he would be satisfied ill view of the fact that he has alwyS been q strong believer in majority rule.
 Committeeman arriving early de- clare that the rule would not be changed effecting the convention this year, but intimated a belief that the committee would recommend that for other conventions, the two-thirds ma jority rule beabrogated.

After New Process

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-The Ala bama Power company and associated concerns are negotiating with an Italian engineer to obtain new process for fiXation of nitrates from the air before submitting their offer for purchase of the government $ properties at Muscle Shoals, Ala, Secretary of War Weeks said today.
 These companies recently sub mitted an offer to lease the power at the shoals on a basis of approxi- mately s1O0, 900 over a 50-year period,
 No steps have as yet been taken, Secretary Weeks today expressed the hope that Congress would find it pos sible at this session to create q spe- cial commission to consider all of fers submitted for Muscle Shoals.
 This plan was recommended by President Coolidge in his message to Congress.
 In Congress leaders have indicated they preferred to have Congress deal directly with the question. The req son is that each offer submitted has proponents In Congress and If they were referred to some other commits sion, some offers might not receive the considerable their supporters feel they deserve.

LARSEN DEMANDS
 ARREST OF FORBES
Assails Daugherty For h. action Over Revelations In Disabled Veterans Bureau

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.--Attorney General Daugherty was assailed in the House today by Representative Larsen, democrat, Georgia, for not bringing about the arrest of Charles R. Forbes, former director of the veterans bureau, and others who are charged in testimony before the Sem ate veterans committee with con- spiring to defraud the federal gov ernment.
 Declaring the Senate investigation had unearthed "a scandal that is a disgrace to the people of this coun- try" Mir. Larsen said the guilty parties" were known and that as yet nothing had been done. He demand cd to know why Forbes had not been arrested and also why proceedings had not been started against the Thompson-Kelly company of Boston, which purchased from the veterans bureau several million dollars worth of supplies at the Perryville, Md, depot--a sale which President Hard ing finally stopped.
 "Do you know who the Thompson Kelly company is?" asked Mir. Lar sen. Those men up in Boston and other places are supposed to be in- significant, but in point of fact they themselves and their associates are among the most prominent and in fluenttal men In the entire country.
 "They ought to be arrested. Yes, and am satisfied of one thing. and that is, that if you arrest them and get them to talking, you will find out that there is somebody else in this country that Is as crooked aA Forbes and you will find out xnae nc is a big man, too.
 That Is the reason why they are not proceeding. I am fearful but that is the reason why they should proceed. If he were a bootlegger or a postmaster he would be arrested before he got three blocks"

COMPROMISE. |S INEVITABLE E SAYS LEAD'1:R
Coolidge Through Spokesman
 Opposes Alteration In Reve-
 nue Measure As Prepared
 By Secretary Of Treasury DEMOCRATS STAND FIRM CONFIDENT OF BACKING Minority Convinced Many Of Old Party Will Refuse Sup
 port To Original Measure. Couzens Challenges Mellon

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-A split definitely developed today among re- publican leaders of the House as to Mellon tax bill.
 Representative Longw worth, the party leader, said he realized a com promise was inevitable, particularly on surtax rates-a position also held by Chairman Green of the ways and means committee.
 On the other hand, Representative Tilson of Connecticut, a committee member, announced he was opposed to any compromise and believes the Mellon plan should be enacted into law substantially as drafted He discussed the situation with Presi- dent Coolidge and issued a state ment as to his views after leaving the White House.
 The position taken by Mir. Tilson is understood to be in accord with that of at least five other republi- cans on the ways and means com- mittee, while the rest are either non- committal or inclined to modifica- tions of the treasury draft. Democrats Hold Fast.
 AS tue DEedCu aliOnB 4lS cans widened, democratfc leaders, who have offered a substitute for the Mellon plan declined to comment on the situation except to reiterate that they were convinced many re- publicans would refuse to support The treasury bill as written and would lean toward the democratio proposal on showdown.
 The ways and means committee completed it's consideration of ad- ministrative features of the plan and on Monday will begin public hear ings on the bill. The committee has been instructed to report the measure by February Il.
 For a brief time today republican members of the committee were in conference to continue their discuss sion of tax policy, but as on yester- day when they talked over the situa- tion with MT. Longworth, no de- cisions were reached.
 The only Senate angle on the situ- ation today was the publication of a letter from Senator Couzens, repub- 'ican, Michigan, to secretary Mellon in which the senator challenged tho treasury secretary to a debate on the
