He has taken issue with such| celebrated men as Sir Oliver LodgeI and Sir Conan Doyle, opponents and| champions of spiritualism. Houdinil claims that he will duplicate, during hisl performances, any manifestation or ef-| feet ever obtained by the, so-called me diums'--on request. His performances will consist of exposing the methodsl used by these people, men and women, who make their living by preying onl the superstition and religious belief of bereaved relatives, who are anxious in| their belief that they can communicated through paid living beings with theirI departed ones.
 Houdini defies any medium to pro-| duce real ghost or spook, that he, Houdini, cannot duplicate exactly andl explain publicly how it was done.

INDORSE FORD BID
Farm Bureau Officials Of Seven
 States Urge Approval
(sTATE CAPITAL BUREAul

(STATE CAPITAL BUREAU1
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, March A. Farm bureau officials of seven south ern states at a meeting here today of the Southern Regional Conference of the American Farm Bureau Fedora tion, adopted resolutions endorsing the Ford bid for Muscle Shoals and calling on Congress to accept it at the. earliest possible moment. The resolutions were drawn up in the form of memorial to the President of the United States and to Gray Silver, legislative representa- tive of the American Farm Bureau Fed eration. ,
 The resolutions, after reiterating that the offer guarantees to operate these properties for the best interests of the public with fertilizer one of the prin- cipal manufactured products, and that mo other offer received by the govern ment is equivalent to that made by Mir. Ford when the direct returns to the government and the guarantees to the public are considered" then calls upon Congress to accept the Ford offer at the very earliest moment.
 The resolutions were signed by E. A. ONeill, president Alabama Farm Bu- reau Federation Frank Dimmick, pres ident Louisiana Farm Bureau Fedora tion; J. B. Porter, president Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation; E. P. Co., hill, president Maryland Farm Bureau Federation; I. N. Paine, secretary North Carolina Farm Bureau Fedora tion; Mrs. w. c. Martin, secretary Texas Farm Bureau Federation; Frank Nelson, secretary Virginia Farm Bu- reau Federation.
 The conference of the southern re- gional group of state farm bureaus be- fore adjournment also adopted resolu- tions expressing appreciation of the services and asking the cooperation of the experiment stations, extension serv- ice and teachers of vocational edu- cation in each state.
 The conference went on record as endorsing the Purnell bill now before Congress providing more funds for ag- ricultural experiment stations of each state.
 Other recommendations of the con- ference were that county and state farm bureaus be incorporated as non stock, non-profit organizations; and that proper publicity be given farm bu- reau work. Attention was called to the need of coordination of the farm bu- reau.

TELLS NEW YORK
 OF BIRMINGHAM
Display Sign On Broadway Also Boosts Oscar w.
 Underwood

Millions of people who daily pass through Times Square in New York are to be reminded for a whole week of the remarkable growth and prog ress of Birmingham.
 o. l.. Bum, secretary-manager- of the Chamber of Commerce, has ar ranged for this. A glaring sign, posted over the Claridge hotel in the big road side history" book of the United States Tire company will tell of the Magic City in these words:
 Birmingham is the only city in the world where all minerals used in flux- ing iron, iron ors1 coal and limestone are found within Agunshot. It grew from. a village of 5000 to city of 225,- 900 in 4S years. It seeks now to make Oscar Underwood, its favorite son, the next president"
 Grabs Chance
 MT. Bum wrote the ad and sent it to the outdoor advertising film that will spread it before the Times Square crowds. One large city each week is

T think that if the senator failed to carry his home city on Marcf II, stain would be placed on Birmingham that could never be removedI I'm for him 100 per cent, and knbw he is going to sweep. the state. And if I had my way about it, the Chamber of Com merce would jump right into the cam paign and give him its hearty public indorsement. He richly deserves it."
 Mir. Bum added that, in his opin- ion, it would be fine thing for com merce chambers to take an occasional fling at politics.
 q don't mean every little campaign that comes along,' he asserted. But I mean that it would help if chambers took firm stand for the principles it believes in and then gave its full f1edged support to candidates espousing those principles"

TRUST CASES TO
 RECALLED FIRST
Daugherty's Counsel Told In-
 vestigation Will Proceed In Summary Manner

WASHINGTON, March 4-Charges of failure to enforce the antitrust laws in connection with cases transmitted by the federal trade commission probably will be the first produced against At torney Daugherty in the investigation ordered by the Senate.
 This was indicated today by members of the special committee after another meeting, at which procedure was dis cussed and the privileges of Mir. Daugherty's counsel determined def initely. Senators adhered to the plan to begin the hearings early next week.
 At today's committee meeting a letter, drafted by Senator Brookhart, republican, Iowa, chairman, to MT. Daugherty's counsel, defining their part in the inquiry was approved and for warded. Replying to specific requests of the attorney generals two legal rep resentatives, Paul Rowland of Cleve- land and former Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, the committee agreed to permit their examination of witnesses subject to control of the committee" and also to introduce independent evil dence and have subpoenas issued for their own witnesses, but also subject to committee approval.
 To Retain Control
 An intention to retain complete con- trol of the inquiry's course was de- clared emphatically by the committee which informed Mir. Daugherty's coun- sel that, regarding this as an inves- tigation and not trial" it will pro- ceed in a summary manner rather than 'according to the technical rules of evidence"
 Counsel for the attorney general were also informed that the request for notice of specific charges could not be granted, these being stated generally in the resolution of Senator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, moving spirit of the investigation and not subject now to amplification.
 The federal trade commission cases, about 50 in all, figured prominently in the impeachment case against MT. Daugherty in the House q year ago. Only few days ago, in response to resolutions by Senators King, demo- crat, Utah, and Norris, republican, Nebraska, reports regarding depart ment of justice action on them were transmitted to the Senate.
 Much of the material, however, has been withheld from publication as con fidential involving pending prosecu- tions.

DOUGH HEENIE IS
 HEFLN SUBJECT

tcsntInusd from Page one) to parody on the classic tale of Abou Ben NAdhem. Substituting Dough Heenie" for Abou, Senator Heflin read i:
 THE GOLDEN FLEECE Abou Dough Heenie (may his tribe in-
 crease), Awoke one night from deep dream of peace, And saw within the moonlit room, Making it rich like a lily in bloom, A senator writing .n a book of gold. Enormous wealth had made Dough
 Heenie bold, !. And to the senator in the room he said :: What writest thou? The statesman raised his head, And with look which made Abou boil,
 speak of oil" And is mine oneg' said Aboua "We will see," replied the senator {; but
 Abou cheerily Responded in a still and softer tone, Write me as one who loves to make
 loan." He wrote and vanished. The next day He came again-it looked like Caraway. And showed the names of those whom
 Fall liked best. And To, Dough Heenie's name led all
 the rest.
 While the chamber and galleries rolled, Senator Lodge, the republican leader and litterateur of the chamber, was not caught mapping.
 From typewriter sheet in his hand he replied with parody on Long, fellows Brothers and Sisters Have I None," reading as follows: Mir. Vanderlip says: Absolute knowledge have I none, But my aunt,s washerwoman's sisters
 son, Heard policeman on his beat, Say to a laborer on the street, That he had letter just last week A letter which he did not seek From Chinese merchant in Timbuctoo, Who said that his brother in Cuba
 knew Of an Indian chief in Texas town, Who got the dope from a circus clown, That man in Klondyke had it
 straight, From a guy in South American state, That a wild man over in Borneo, Was told by a woman who claimed to
 know, Of we'll known swell society rake, ' hose mother will undertake To prove that her husbands sisters
 niece, Has stated plain in a printed piece, That he has a son who never comes
 Iome, And who knows all about the Teapot
 Dome.
 Senator Heflin seemed satisfied and resumed his speech, while the august Senate listened in better temper than it has enjoyed. for several weeks.

tions from those advocating the meas- ure. Several times during his address the Iowa representative had as many as five or six striving to interrupt him with questions.
 MT. Hull declared he was not op- posed to Mir. Ford having the Shoals properties if the Mckenzie bill were amended to place the Detroit manu- facturer under "a binding contract"
 But the great objection to the Ford offer" he added, "apd the one which can never be reconciled with our duty or responsibility to those we represent, his (Mr. Ford) refusal to subject the use of this great government created property to the very regulations the government has imposed on all others who secure the benefits of water power over which the government has Jurisdiction. M+ er
 ..The second great objection is that he may be able to make fertilizers at a profit and cease their manufacture, but still maintain his hold upon the waterpower. In that event having parted with the title the nitrate plants may be permanently lost and conse- quently the original purpose of the act of 1916 will remain unfulfilled. "The third great objection is that if Mir. Ford, as his supporters maintain, can make fertilizer at a profit, then he is obtaining great waterpower at such low costs as to be ruinous to any possible competitors in that section of the country"
 Another Bid Is Urged
 While the House was considering the Mckenzie bill, Representative Ed monds, republican, Pennsylvania, in troduced bill authorizing acceptance of the bid of the United States Muscle Shoals Power and Nitrate corporation.
 The details of this offer were placed before the military committee just prior to the closing of its hearing. E. H.. Hooker, president of the Hooker Elec- trical Chemical company, Niagara Falls, N. Y.. represented the corporation be- fore the committee and outlined its of fer which briefly provides for retention of ownership of the property by the government and its operation by the corporation.
 Under the offer, which, when sub mitted was known as the Hooker plan, the corporation would deposit $1, ,OO0,- GOO as a guarantee of good faith.
