HOUSE ACCEPTS THE
BID OF HENRY FORD
The Bill Approving Detroit Mans
offer for Muscle Shoals Passes,
227 to 142.

Washington.-He Fords offer
for Muscle Shoals, pending before
congress for more than two years,
was approved by the house.

Kenzie BILL which would authorize ac-
ceptance of Ford's bid, was passed
and sent to the senate where there
is uncertainty as to what action, il
any, will be taken on il at this session.
Continuously before the house for
week, the Mckenzie measure was
approved practically in the form in
which it was reported by the military
committee, which had been informed
by Mr. Fred that he would take over
the government nitrate and power
products on the Tennessee river, un-
der the terms embodied in the bill.
To the last, advocates Of the Ford
offer resisted attempts to modify the
proposed contract Amendment after
amendment, aimed at the heart OF
the bill, was thrown out by decisive
vote, and as passed, the measure car
ried less than half a dozen Of lesser
importance Attached to the bill, how.
ever, was the Madden amendment,
approved by the military committee
which obligates the government to re.
place the Gorgas steam power plant,
recently sold to the Alabama Power
company. Provision is made that this
plant which is not to cost, with a
transmission line to nitrate plant No.
2, more than the $3,472,4S7, received
for the Gorgas property. is to be sold
to Mr.. Ford, along with nitrate plants
Nos. l and 3, and the Wayco quarry,
near Russellville, Ala.
Under terms OF the bill, Ford will
have the right to lease for 100 years,
dams, Nos 2 and at Muscle Shoals,
and adjacent power stations.

Of the offer made futile last min
ute attempt to bring him under the
terms of the federal water power
act thereby limiting his lease to 90
years and to keep in the bill an
amendment, adoption of which would
enable the government to recapture
the properties in the event the De
troit manufacturer failed to live UP
to his contract in any particular.
On the demand of Chairman Mad
den, one of the leading Ford offer
advocates, a roll call was demaded
just before the final vote on the
amendment, and it went out of the
bill by vote of 1877 to 176.

EASTERN COAST STATES
LASHED BY A BLIZZARD
a Destructive Wind and Snow Storm
Sweeps From Maine to
Florida.

New York.-On the anniversary of
the great eastern blizzard that un.
leashed its fury March IL. 1888, wind,
rain, snow and tides combined their
destructive forces throughout the
middle Atlantic states and swept the
entire seaboard from Eastport, Me-,
to Jupiter inlet, Fla.
Miles Of telegraph wires and hun
dreds of poles went down before a
gale that reached a velocity Of 83
miles an hour at points in New Jer-
sey, and burdened by the weight Of
clinging snow flakes. Seas that many
marine men said were as high as
any in their memory, swept over. bulk
heads and sea walls rolled great ocean
liners and converted small crafts in
to a vertible fleet of jazz boats.
The loss of life accompanying the
storm was surprisingly small. In
this city five persons were killed in
accidents attributed to the wind and
rain-two women and three men. An
other person is expected to die, and
three deaths from similar causes
were reported elsewhere in the coun-
try.
Bungalows near the Staten Island
shore were inundated and swept out
to sea- others, flooded, barely man
aged to cling to their foundations.
Big vessels in New York bay had to
keep up steam and throw out addi-
tioual anchors IN keen OffShOrp and
one oil tanker dragged her anchors
entirely across the bay.
| Many Staten Island towns WERE
dark as a result of the storms fury,
and hundreds of trees there and else
where were blown down, many across
roadways and railroad and trolly car
tracks, delaying commuters and fore
ing many to walk miles through the
driving wind, snow and rain.
