DEFENDS WARDEAL FORSHOMLSPLANT Counsel of Alabama Power Company Answers Repre- sentative Oliver. Ferbert Dent, chief counsel for the Alabama Power Company, and former member of Congress from Alabama, re- plicd todas to arguments made before. the House military committee yesterday by Representative Oliver, democrat, Alabama. genouncing the contract be- tgeen the power company und the War Uepartment for construction of the War- rior steam plant as a power unit of the Muscle Shoals, Aln., war-time nitrate ‘projects. Attacks Law Points. Mr. Oliver's contention that the con- tract ““unjust. unfair and unreason- able’” was met by Mr. Dent with con- iradictory statements. He said Mr. Oliver had announced “some startling propositions of faw' which could not be supported in law. The option giving the company ex- clusive right to parchase the plant from the government, as set forth in the contraet, was a subject for the courts to deal with, Mr. Dent said, and Cong: had no authority to bind the court, as Mr. Oliver had said. He also informed the commit- tee that the ordnance bureau officials lad properly signed the contract and ; es Lo “show t ceretary of ated authority to the ordnance officers to act as “confract- ing officers” for that part of the War Department “The only way in the world for the government to get possession of the Warrior plan® would be for Congress 10 pass an ac: of condemnation,™ Dent ‘said, “then the question would €0 to the couts.

Martin. president of the Alabama Power Company. in the event Congress accepts the offer of that com- pany for purchase and development of the zovernment-owned steam and water- power prejects at the shoals. Thorough study has been made of power markets within a_radius of 490 miles of Muscle Shoals, Mr. Martin said, and applications for energy aiready fiied with the power company convinced him there was need for developing Muscle Shoals and distributing the power throughout that section of tie country. His company was prepared to serve the public. functioning as a public utility regulated by federal and state laws, he added, and deliver power in emergency ases ‘to a greater distance by relay tems. The development of Muscle Shoals,” Mr. Martin asserted, “is the last oppor- tunity the public will have in the ter- ritory south and west of there to ob- tain hydro-electric power. I Muscle Shoals is withdrawn from public serv- ice, it will not be possible to meet nat- ural markets for power at remote points, and probably not even Memphis can be supplied ith energy to meet existing demands.” Quention of Public Service. Representative (ireene, republican Vermont, contrasted the power com b 's proposal with the offer submit- ted by Henry Ford. Under the latter, Jir. Greene believed much of the power created at the shoals would be used in the manufacture of fertilizer, parts for automobiles and other commodi- ties by a private concern. The ques- tion was, he said, whether the Ford or “Alabama offers would best serve the public policy. adding that the power company did not make any pro- vision in its proposal for fertilizer pro- duetion. While the commlittee éxamined Mr. Martin _the Senate agricuiture com- mittee met to decide whén senators who had expressed a wish to visit Muscle Shoals could make the visit. Senator Norris said about forty-five senators wanted to make the trip and he feared the Senate would have to close down its 'business for about five days while the inspection totir was being' made. After lengthy discussion, the com- mittee authorized Senator Norris, its chairman, to confer with republican and democratic leaders and report later - r;:ml time would beé best suited for the p.. The House committee also heard Rep- reséntative Oliver, democrat, Alabama, reply to arguments made by officials of the*Alabama Power Company, Who con- tM¢d the government was obliged to el exclusively to that concern its in- tendsits in the Warrior Steam Plant and accessory units. The contract which contained the option in favor of the company, Mr. Oliver declared, would not be upheld by any court, and he adyecated that Congress direct the ini- tiation of condemnation proceedings on the ground that the contract was “un- faif, unjust and unreasonable.” SAYS U.

Special Dispatch to The Rtar, BALTIMORE, March l.—Important changes in Maryland's divorce law are provided for in a bill introduced 1in the legislature by Delegate Daniel | Edward _Scott, C. Joseph of Baltimore city. The measuro adds several additional causes for the granting of divorces and provides that all testimony in such cases shall be presented before a master in chancery, thereby elimi- nating public hearings now required whenever one of the parties demands an open trial, and the court shall is- sue its decree in accordance with the testimony before the examiner. Among the additional causes for the granting of partial divorce provided | for in the bill are failure of the hus- band to provide suitable maintenance for his wife and excessive use of in- toxicating liquors, opium or any other drag. Convictions of either party of a crime punished by five years or more in the penitentiary is made a cause for absolute divorce, provided application is made before the sen- tence expires. The section at present in the law which provides that unchastity on the part of the woman previous to mar- riage and unknown to the husband at the time of the marriage shall constitute ground for divorce, is stricken out. The repeal of this sec- tion of the law has long been ad- vocated by various women's organi- zations. A new requirement is that by which the state must have present, whenever testimony in a divorcé case is taken, an attorney, whose duty shall be to prevent agreement, collu- sion or connivance between the par- ties to the suit. —— MANY SPOTS ON SUN.
