SCORES POINT IN
 SUIT AGAINST FORD
Litigation Over Fly Wheel Mag
 neto Goes Back To Court

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 17.-Re- yersing the decision of the federal dis trict court of southern Florida, the United States circuit court of appeals today ordered that the $11 ,000, ,000 dam age suit filed by Edward H. Huff of Miami, Fla, against the Ford Motor company of Detroit, be remanded to Florida for hearing before a federal judge instead of a jury. It was held that the matter in question was one of equity and the presence of a jury was not necessary. y
 j Huff at one time. employed as a mechanic in the Ford plant at Detroit, invented fly wheel magneto for cars manufactured by the company. It was patented in 1913, and has been used since, Huff alleged. He claimed he was entitled to royalties on cars manu- factured since that time.
 Counsel for the company contended that Huff was in the companys employ at the time the magneto was invented that it was paying for his time and materials, and that his services be- longed to the motor company during his working hours.
 Huff claimed the company gave him $1O,OOO in January. 1908. and agreed to pay a royalty of S2.50 for each mag. neto used, which was not done, he as. serted
 The only question before the cir. cult court of appeals was whether the case should be tried before a judge oI a jury. It was brought here on appeal of the Ford company.

GUZZLES SPAGHETTI
 FOR OVER 2 HOURS
New Championship Is Born Al
 Contest In Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 17.-The worlds spaghettti eating championship crown landed on a new head Thursday night.
 Frank Rufalo, who had eaten about a half mile of the uncomfortable delicacy during the day just to be in form for the contest, won by 14 inches by actual count when the timekeepers stopped the three spaghetti guzzlers after two hours and 24 minutes of guz- zling.
 Walter Randazzo, who had modestly claimed the worlds championship, ran true to form as a champion and pre- scented to the crowd in, attendance an alibi which for the moment was greeted very seriously.
 The ex-champ explained that some of the tomato sauce had squirted into one of his eyes and the sting from the spices caused him to fall way behind Rufalo, his nearest competitor He ad- mitted, however, that the victor's pneu- matic tube system of dealing with the Italian dish, which had won the ad- miration of onlookers, would make him a dangerous rival in any similar con test in years to come, providing his inws held out

 gency for real settlement in Europe built on due regard for Great Britain s economic rights and necessities.
 We are paying our debts. We fought and sacrificed. Yet we are suf- fering more than the countries we de- tended and rescued. The limits have been reached to the price great Britain can afford to pay. There are glim- merings of hope f>om the American participation in the reparat tions ques- ton. American cooperation is not morley welcome; it is essential"
 To Carry Out Pledges.
 In his speech, Mir. Clynes gave fur ther inklings of labOrs intentions. Re- ferring to the dominion trade, he said Ramsay Macdonald, who as head of the parliamentary labor party is the prime minister, had given assurance that so far as pledges had been made they would be carried out and the house would be given full Oportunity to decide on a number of important is- sues raised.
 Mir. Clynes' own views were that the dominion trade showed substantial op- portunities and prospects for improve ment. He also emphasized the neces- sity of not neglecting the European markets. Of immigration, he said j: We must seriously consider the prob- lem of voluntary transference of pop ulation on agreed terms for mutual benefit. I am satisfied that if these agreed terms can be reached it will be better for labor in this country
 To stimulate the dominion trade without altering Great Britain's fiscal policy, he declared offered avenues which ought to be explored by confer ences on broader non-party lines than had taken place previously.

expense of the government without profit to the company. The power house at dam No. 3 will have an in stallation of 250,000 horsepower.
 If the government does not build the dam, the power company will have the right to do so, and one-third ex- pense shall be borne by the govern ment in return for the improvement to the value of the Muscle Shoals sec. ton of the river.
 Option Of Purchase
 The power company also agrees to purchase the electric plant at Muscle Shoals and to pay therefor S4,500, ,000 on terms satisfactory to the govern ment.
 The government at any time during the lease or at the end of it may re- capture the plant under the terms of the federal water power act.
 If the licensee or the government, itself, improve the property by con- struction of reservoir or headwater improvement, the builder of the reser- voir will be reimbursed by the power company for such part of its expense as the federal power company shall deem suitable.
 The company guarantees that the government shall take over and operate | the projects for nitrate manufacture whenever the safety of the United States demands.
 The company will deliver at any time during the fifty years within a radius of five miles of dam No. 2, 60,OO0 horsepower at actual cost to any point for the manufacture of fer tilizer. Same requirement from dam No. 3 is guaranteed. But surplus power so transmitted will be used by the company for public utility pur- poses.
 It is also agreed to maintain a fund of S1.O00,000 which shall be used to pursue chemical research, the admin. istration of the fund to be in the hands of a board of five, one to be | appointed by the Secretary of Agri, culture, one by the Secretary of War one by the Secretary of Commerce and one by any company engaged in the manufacture of fertilizer at Mus cle Shoals. This fund is to be paid in ten annual installments.

 According to the text of the offer submitted by the three power com panies for the Muscle Shoals project they will provide $10,000,000 of cap ital therefor, or such portion of that amount as upon acceptance of this proposal may be, determined to be necessary"
 Upon completion of dam Mo-. 2 and its power house the power company will lease it for 90 years. It offers to lease the government steam plant at Sheffield. Ala, for 20 years. paying annual rental therefor of $2,00o.000 annually. The offer, continuing, states: This is interest at 4 per cent on $50,000,000, which includes the S45, 5,50O,OGO of estimated expenditures on the hydroelectric project to the time of it's completion with eight en- gineering units of 240,000 horsepower total capacity, and $4,500,0O0, repre- senting the value of the governments steam plant at Muscle Shoals. Said sum of $50,000,000 also includes the $17 100000 expended on the project during and just after the war. After the expiration of the lease on the steam plant, or, if the steam plant should be sold to the power company as here matter provided, such annual rental shall be reduced by 4 per cent on $4, 100000"
 The offer stipulates the lease will begin from the date the hydroelectrict structures and equipment Gncluding the necessary high tension substa- tions) of the capacity of 100000 horsepower are installed and made 1xr fAs ment of approximately 140.000 horse power to be installed by the United States and made ready for service by tension substation shall be commenced pense as soon as this offer is accepted" '" Payment Of Rentals

 Isn't it surprising" put in Repre- sentative Mckenzie, republican, Hi nois, that other interests have not been more active in trying to get power development rights at Muscle Shoals?''

 five heard that other offers which would call for nitrate production will be submitted" he continued, but they are not in yet"
 Mir. Merrill expressed the opinion that congress. in considering the pos sibility of obtaining additional offers for the Muscle Shoals properties should be guided only by desire to ob- tain more advantageous bids for the government. The whole question has been pending so long, he added. that Congress was under no obligation to SlfC OtuCE IlltlNStS t1iit to bids.
 Mir. Merrill endorsed provisions of the Dickinson bill which would give the federal power commission juris- diction over the Muscle Shoals plant regardless of who purchases it, and expressed opposition to leasing of the project for more than 50 years.
 Bid From Niagara.
 It was learned today that the pro- posal received by Secretary Weeks yes terday was made by E. H. Hooker, president of the Electrochem company. Niagara Falls, N. Y. War department officials, however, still withheld details of the offer pending a thorough study by ordnance and engineer experts.
 Mr. Hookers basic plan is believed to be intended for the development of d manufacturing business at Muscle Shoals, dealing largely with nitrates and fertilizers and expanding to other industrial projects as rapidly as the possibilities of power and other re- sources in the Muscle Shoals region are unfolded.

TAX REDUCTION PLEAS FLOODING
 HOUSE HEARING
Suggested Motor Vehicle Revenue Be Unchanged
 For Building Roads

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Re- quests for tax reductions again flood ed the House ways and means com mittee today, although determined op- position to revision of some of the ex- else and special rates was voiced.
 Additional pleas for repeal of the tax on motor vehicles and accessories were countered by a suggestion of Representative Hayden, democrat, Ari- zona, that the levy be maintained to provide funds for completing the gov ernments program of aiding states in construction of road ways under terms of the highway act.
 John Quinn, speaking for the art dealers and art associations of New York, asked that the tax be removed from artists products but suggested the tax on jewelry be doubled and that on automobiles maintained. Previous demands for repeal of both the latter taxes have been made before the com mittee.
 Action Delayed
 Determination of a program for con- alteration of the rates sections of the new bill, which will be taken up next week, has been delayed by Chairman Green, pending completion of the hear ings and settlements of the rules fight in the House, which has occupied the attention of leaders and held up also plains for the floor fight on the tax measure.
 Roy F. Britton of the American Automobile associa ton, renewed the fight today against the automobile tax, arguing that it was discriminatory. George c. Donahue of the Empire State Automobile Dealers association and Carey B. Quinn of the Automo- bile Body Builders association, pre- sented similar arguments.
 Repeal of the beverages taxes, par ticularly those on flavoring extracts, carbonic acid gas and cereals used on making bottled or fountain drinks, was asked. Eugene Brokmeyer of the Ma honal Association of Retail Druggists declared the tax is an administrative as well as an economic burden on drugstore dealers operating soda foun- tains.
 Bottlers Object
 Junior Owens. appearing for the American Bottlers of Carbonated Bev- erages, said the cost of collecting the tax in connection with bottled goods made it almost non-productive to the government and constituted a serious nuisance to 12,0O0 bottling concerns.
 Levi Cook, representing near-beer manufacturers, declared the tax of 2 cents a gallon on that beverage was drain on the reserves and surplus funds, of these manufacturers as their industry was not on paying basis.
