 NSURCENT FOE
Treadway Demands Elim- ination From Important
 Committees
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The pos sibility of some concerted action by republicans te tread, out of the party" in tl.e' newly elected congress. the in surgent group which has been private ly favored by some, became more sharp ly focused today with an open declara- ton on the matter from members of both groups.
 Representative Treadway, repub- lican, Massachusetts, declared after u visit to the White House that he favored eliminating the insurgents in important republican committee assign ments in organizing the new congress to meet, unless called in special ses- sion, year from next month.
 Nelson Undisturbed
 Asserting that he thought the repub- licans would be ''too wise" to attempt such action, Representative Nelson of Wisconsin, leader of the insurgents. later asserted his group neither feared expulsion from the republican ranks "nor did they care about it, or wei come it"
 "The progressiyes," he said, "expect to continue their fight for progressive legislation and intend to do all in their power to bring this country back to a normal moral basis"
 In the future as in the past, the Wis consin members added, ''the progress ives propose to support such legisla- tion as they believe to be in the best interests of the country"
 Suffered Long Enough"
 Mir. Treadway said the insurgent group should be classed among the minority and given committee assign ments accordingly. He added i've have suffered long enough from their com mittee influence and they should no longer have controlling places"
 In connection with the discussion, some republican members who private ly have expressed the opinion that the insurgents should be expelled from the republican ranks, have pointed out that the several members of the group will hold important places on house com mittees.
 Mir. Nelson, it is pointed out, is a member of the rules committee and chairman of one of the elections com mittees. Several other committee as signments held by members of the in surgent group include Representative Lampert of Wisconsin, chairman of the patents committee; Representative Frear of Wisconsin, a, member of the ways and means committee, and Rep resentative Voigt of Wisconsin, mem Der of the agriculture committee.

 And 2 Jailed In Liquor Raid

One man is believed to be seriously wounded and two others were placed in the Jefferson county jail on a charge of distilling as the result of a clash between deputy sheriffs and state law officers and alleged moonshiners at Glover's Bend Thursday afternoon.
 A man whose name was given by his companions as sLee Patterson, of Glovers Bend, is thought to have been seriously shot, as he left wide trail of blood. The officers were able to trail him for a great distance by the blood marks, but finally lost him, they said.
 Lewis Glover and Mahel Duff of Glovers Bend surrendered to the of ficers after an exchange of approxi- mately 20 shots. These men were brought to Birmingham on a distilling charge, but were later released on $1 ,000 bonds.
 According to the officers, when they approached the still the men saw them and began running and firing back. The officers returned the fire and two of the men surrendered after they had emptied their guns. The third escaped after being wounded.
 Fifteen gallons of whisky, 800 gallons of mash, POO gallon still was destroyed and double barrel shotgun, pistol and Ford automobile was cOnfiscated by the officers. Deputies J. Jones, Lamb Alexander and State Officer Lyons conducted the raid.

NORRIS BILL
 VETO SEEN BY WEEKS
War Secretary Expects Delay In Congressional
 Action On Shoals
U. s. OPERATION
 TO BE OPPOSED
Right Of Government To Sell Power Upheld
 By Hull
(Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-- John w. Weeks, secretary of war, is opposed to the pending Norris bill, providing for the disposition of Muscle Shoals and to any other bill which might be introduced looking to operation of Muscle Shoals plants by the government.
 MT. Weeks takes the position that the Norris bill and other contemplated cer- tain two features of which he cannot approve, the first being government op- eration in competition with private bus mess, and the second, government "sub- sidy" in the manufacture of fertilizer.
 Foresees Veto
 It is learned that MT. Weeks is of the opinion that if the Norris or any kindred bill is enacted, President Cool idge will return it to congress without his approval It is gathered from what comes out of the office of the secretary that he would dispose of Muscle Shoals to private interests on the condition that the government be properly guaranteed that the plants will be maintained in q standby condition for war purposes, and a sum of mo9sy regarded as suf- ficient interest on the investment.
 Expects Delay
 The effort of the secretary to ascer- tain of the attorney general his author ity to lease the potential power of Mus cle Shoals following the completion of the dam, if by that time congress has not taken definite action, indicates belief on the part of the secretary that congress will not act before adjourn ment March 4, 1925. It is regarded as probable that congress by that date will have passed bill, but it is said to be extremely doubtful that a. two-thirds majority of both houses could be ral- lied to support bill which had re- eeived the veto of the executive. Sen ator Underwood of Alabama, who will lead the fight for Muscle Shoals bill which citizens committee will have approved, declares tonight that he has not determined on a plan.
 As to the attitude of the secretary, he does not commit himself. It Is the un- derstanding here that the administra- tion would defer action until the ses- sion to be begun in December, 1925. and that with such view in mind. the Presi- dent will again recommend that a joint committee of congress be named to more thoroughly study. the subject.

 OPS Western Union Shares
tBy Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-George J. Goulds' innings in the battle over his administration of his fathers S2,000,- 900 estate opened today.
 William Wallace, attorney for the Jay Gould estate. appeared in George Gould's defense before the referee who is hearing charges by Georges broth CTS and sisters that his mishandling of their fathers estate caused losses run ming into the millions.
 Mir. Wallace opened his address with the statement, which startled the thir- ty-five opposing counsel, that he would defend every accusation against George Gould, except one. That one which, he said, would admit of no defense was that George Gould secretly disposed of 21O,O2S Western Union shares belong ing to the estate and retained $9OO,O00 commission on the deal.
 For 26 years, Mir. Wallace said, George Gould, as the eldest son, had handled transactions for the railroad builders estate totalling $798,000,0O0 in an amazing diversity of interests and in every instance except the one there was ample moral and legal qualifications and defense.

 Secretary Weeks asked General Hull for the opinion in order that the gov ernment might arrange for the sale of such power in the event congress failed to decide what disposition should be made of the Muscle Shoals project at the forthcoming session.

lRv Associated Press. ]

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-A tale of pi- racy on the high seas and of the disabling of ship by modern buccaneers of the liquor trade, was put on the air" today by the United States liner Presi- dent Harding, Hamburg to New York, which reported the schooner Veronica of London found drifting at sea with out instruments to determine its posi- tion.
 The position of the footed craft was given as latitude 41.46; longitude 46.31 about 100 miles off Cape Sable. It was reported the schooner had been Host" for six weeks while it drifted along without any compass, chrono- meter or any instruments by which its officers could tell where they were or which way they wanted to go. The attention of the President Harding was attracted by flares and rockets.
 After the first meager report tne United States line dispatched radio message to President Harding asking for more details and tonight received a reply which confirmed the belief that the schooner had fallen prey to hi- jackers. The latest message from the liner reads:
 '"The schooner's captain reported that they had been raided by pirates on No yember 15 who had stolen the compass magnets and had put the chronometer out of order.
