SHOALS BILL TO
co To COOLIDGE
LATE IN WEEK.
Norris Praises Measure as
Rewritten in Con- :
ference. II /
BY C. ]. LILLEY

WASHINGTON, May 21.-What
Senator Norris describes as a far
better Muscle Shoals bill than was
adopted by either the House or the
Senate has been completed in con-
ference and will be submitted to this
Senate today.
Norris was doubtful whether a
vote could be taken before Tuesday,
saying it would be necessary to get
the measure printed and give Sem
ators an opportunity to study it.
The House plan Of having a Cow
eminent corporation operate the
plant is retained with all House fea-
lures relative to power production
and distribution.
The clause for Government devel~
opment of Cove Creek is kept just
as it was adopted by House. This
provides for beginning construction
in 1929.
Fertilizer manufacture is put back
on same scale as provided IN the
Senate bill.
It is hoped to get adoption in
both houses by the middle Of the
week and get the bill into the Presi-
dents hands. Whether President
Coolidge will sign it or use his veto
even Senator Norris can not fore"
cast.

Pleads for Unity

United Press STAN Correspondent
PEKIN, May 21.-Declaring that
Japan menaced China and that
only the vanity of the southern
government prevented Chinese
unity, Chang Tso Lin today made
another appeal for peace in the
Chinese civil situation.
The vanity of the Marking gov
eminent and Gen. Feng Yu Hsiang's
determination to fight are prevent
ing a Chinese unity, the statement
said.
THE Japanese memorandum Con
a refusal to permit the Chinese civil
strife to extend to Manchuria) is
fraught with far reaching conse-
quences," the foreign Office appeal
said.
while we are militarily prepared
to meet the southerners, authorities
here still hope that an enlightened
opinion may lead them to see the
futility of continuing doubtful
campaign and only augmenting the
international difficulties"
Meanwhile it was understood that
General Chang was preparing for
decisive battle against Gen. Feng
Yu Hsiang at Pao Ting Flu.

BY MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

TOXIC, May 21-American res
idents in Pekin and Tientsin will be
protected by United States Marines
now assigned to those two cities,
the United States Government has
warned the Chinese foreign Office.
The legation at Pekin-according
to advices received here-sent the
foreign Office note warning that ii
fighting between the northern and
southern armies should break out
near Pekin and Tientsin there was
grave danger to American life and
property.
The note gave the hope that the
Chinese would avoid enlbroiling
the United States in the difficulties
and said the United States troops
we're in China solely to protect the
Americans.
The note said that the United
States was not interested in the
Chinese domestic struggle.
American Marines were said to be
billeted in the French concession at
Tientsin and all foreign garrisons
there today we're said to be actively
preparing to defend the forgeign
concessions. Japanese have COM
pleted building an airdrome near
the barracks and additional aircraft
are expected soon.
At Pekin it was understood addi-
tional Japanese troops had arrived
to reinforce the international guard
at the legation quarters.
Meanwhile the northern army is
making preparations to defend their
position and also is making plans
for their action should they decide
to retire to Manchuria.
Reports here said that Chang Tso
Lin, commander of the northern
forces, had recalled his leaders from
all of the fronts to Pekin to confer
with them. This conference was
understood to concern the recent
Japanese announcement that Japan
would not permit extension of the
civil strife beyond the Manchurian
border.
Japan has decided to take meas
ures to protect the Japanese ma
tionals now in north China. Mill
tary forces in Manchuria will be
strengthened and strategic points
in that province probably will be
protected by Japanese troops.

An independent investigation of
city hospital needs is being made
by the city council committee, Ed
ward w. Harris, chairman, said to-
day.
There will be no report at to-
nights council meeting on the Or
dinance authorizing a $1,750,000
bond issue for the hospital building
program, Harris said.
The administration submitted the
ordinance to the council several
months ago as an emergency meas
ure. 1t provided bond issue for
contagious ward, new power plant,
additional ward unit and service
building.
Divided on Needs
Council is divided as to the
actual" hospital needs, and there is
opposition to passage of the entire

for the improvements and estimate
costs before passage of the bond
issue.
He indicated that the committee
will meet before the next regular

pital study.
