The S9-foot steel ironmaker gave
way without warning, and the whir

pour of metal told those outside the
flaming area what had happened. \
number of workers were caught in the
molten iron ore and killed instantly.
Those not directly in the path of the
fiery shower were caught in its scat

alive.
The explosion wrecked steam and
water pipes and sent their contents S

with the metal and burning coke add
ed to the havoc.
The accident was one of the most
unusual in the history of iron making
in this district. The cause of il. has

the United States penitentiary. The
man who was once intrusted with $685.

began serving two-year sentence
for conspiring to defraud the Gov
ernment.
Although only Al years old. Col.
Forbes appeared to Warden Biddle to
be much older man. He limped as
he walked slowly through the prison
gate. A stroke of paralysis year
ago has stopped the lively step with
which Forbes once marched as a

led signal battalion in France.
After physicians report next week
on the state of the prisoners health.
the warden will decide what kind of
work he will assign to him. He weighs
only $50 pounds, while his normal
weight was around 225.
Forbes had little to say except to

The former chief Of one of the
largest bureaus of the Federal Gov
ernment was convicted last year in
Chicago. He and John w. Thomp-
son, ST. Louis and Chicago contractor,
were found guilty of conspiring to de.
fraud the Government. Thompson,
who is 70 years old. is in a st. Louis
hospital, too Ill to begin his two-year
sentence.
Elias Mortimer, who said he was
Thompson's representative in dealings
with Forbes and gave the original in.
formation which resulted in the in
dictment of Thompson and Forbes,
accused the former Veterans Bureau
director of stealing Mrs. Mortimer's
love. The trial of Forbes and Thomp:
son brought forth testimony about
fraud in the awarding of contracts
for veterans hospitals.

ON SHOALS LEASES
Former Chief of Army Engi-

pointed as Expert.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The position as technical advisor
to the congressional committee con-
Quoting negotiations to lease Muscle
Shoals will be offered to Maj. Gen.
Lansing II. Beach. retired, former
chief of Army engineers.
He met with the committee yester-
day and discussed the Muscle Shoals
situation and If the resolution au-
thorizing the committee to employ an
expert is adopted, he will be offered
the job.
Gen. Beach was chief of engineers
when Henry Ford submitted his
original bid and he testified before
congressional committees in favor of
accepting the automobile manufac-
turer's offer.
Another conferee with the COM
mittee yesterday was A. w. Worth
ington. formerly employed by Ford,
Cyanamid Company which has an.
nounced it will submit a bid.
Agree on Legal Points.
The committee went over the House
bill containing the terms by which a
bid must be made paragraph by para
graph with Maj. Gen. John A. Hull.
judge advocate general of the Army.
and his associate, Lieut.. Col. A. X.
Stallings. The committee reached
unanimity on the Interpretation of all
the terms.
A new bid was received from F. +.
Castleberry of Shreveport, La. who
said he was submitting it on behalf
of clients. This is Castleberry's first
appearance as a Muscle Shoals bidder,
and he declined in his letter to name
the clients. The bid will be submitted
tomorrow. and meantime the COM
mittee declines to make public its
terms.
Another bid for part of the plant
will be filed tomorrow by j. II. Lever
ing, a local engineer. He proposes to
lease only nitrate plant No. ! at a
rental of $4,000 annually and be al
lowed to purchase power at the same

Blease Blocks Fund.
The resolution authorizing the COM
mittee to spend not more than 10000
to cover the cost of employing an en-
gineering advisor and other office eX-
penses encountered a .snag when
Senator Blease, Democrat, South
Carolina. objected to its consideration.
This sent 1t over until tomorrow when
another effort will be made to get it
through.
Senator HefIin. Democrat, Alabama,
appealed to the South Carolina Sena-
tor to withdraw his objection, but
Senator Blease retorted that he and
not the Alabama Senator represented
the people of South Carolina, and he
was glad of an opportunity to block
the committee. which he said never
should have been created.
The original resolution. which would
have given the committee authority
to spend an unlimited sum in nego-
tiating the lease. was rewritten by the
Senate audit and control committee
so as to restrict the appropriation to
a maximum of 100000.

Grimaldos laughed when some one
plucked up enough courage to ap-

not dead. He explained that he had
gone over the frontier and worked in
France, where the wages were better.
His two murderers were released and
joined in the village activities, and
then they told that their confession

supposed murder by bullying police.
