ACTION ON SHOALS " URGED IN -REPORTS Continued from First Page.) Would authorize him to “settle the falr value of the Gorgas plant and « gonvey the same to the Alabahma 'ower Company.” After the presentation of docu- ments supplied the committee during the deliberations by Secretary Weeks, and other War Department officers, Mr. McKenzie, in the majority report, says, in part: A glance at the figures set forth ‘Will disclose the fact that up to date the government has expended upon this colossal undertaking something over $106.000,000, approximately $5. 000,000 of which was expendetfi upon the” Gorgas steam plant and trans- mission line." He then asks what Congress can do to solve the problem, develop the proj- ects for the national good-and stop the tremendous losses to the govern- ment caused by idleness and deterio- Tation of the propertles, adding that | the courses open to Congress are: 1. Authorize the necessary appro- Driations for the completion of the dam or dams and other facillies nec- essary to enable the operation of the Plants in accordance with section 124 .n.f the national defense act, meaning Uknvcrnml:nl ownership and opera- on." Authorize the necessary appro- Priations to complete the project, re- taining the title and amending the law in such manner as to enable the leasing of the power developed and the plants already constructed to pri- Yate persons or corporations, mean- Ing “government ownership, but not operation.” C for Appropriation. 3. Make the appropriations neces- sary for dam No. 2 and the construc- tion of dam No. 3, authorize the sale of all the plants and property upon conditions prescribed by Congress. and authorize the leasing of the Power developed from the dams for a specified period and on terms fixed by Congress, meaning “private own- ership and operation. freeing the government from any further ex- pense for operation and mainte- nance." Tha majority report calls attention to the money considerations, saying “we think it only fair to say that when ore takes into consideration the magnificent plant to be turned over to Mr. Ford, and the millions of dollars’ worth of other property in connection with this preject, sure- 1y the sum of $5,000,000 is a mere bagatelle.” - The long Invespigation made by the committee. the report continue: hi h $3 Fancy Stripe Glove Silk Hose, $1.98 Three different patterns, strictly perfect quality; wide light colored V-shaped heel, and sizes to THE GREATEST e v Men’s Dt.

In conclusion, the majority report says, “Actlon by Congress is impera- tive, and .immediate action means economy if such action wisely pro- vides for such disposition as will in- sure an-income for the government and no, a continuous outlay.” Two Courses Ope “Two courses are open,” it added, “one government ownership and op- eration, which, in view of the char- acter of the project, would. in the judgment of the majority of the com- mittee, mean not only failure from the standpoint of income but disaster to the hopes of the farmers and other users of commercial fertilizers. To have the government undertake and engage in the manufacture of fer- tilizer ingredients, - with political superintendents, foremen and straw bosses, is unthinkable, and to under- take ch a scheme would be un- speakable folly. “The alternative course is to sell the tangible property to private indi- viduals or to a corpordtion on con- ditlons prescribed by Congress, lease the power at a fair rental 2nd permit individual American initiative and in- genuity to have an opportunity at this place, where the greatest water power in our countny can be develop- ed, requiring a preservation of the element of national defense, and at the same time giving an opportunity for relief, i¢ such there can be, to not only the southland but our en- tire country in the way of comme clal fertilizer at reasonable prices. The Ford proposal, the report con- cludes, “is the only proposal yet made by any one that even gives ground for hope, and his offer is not entirely free from objections.” However, it is of such great potential possibilities that the committee felt assured action by Congress would be prompt and a final and satisfactory adjustment of the matter could be reached. Momentous Results at Stake. Representative Wright points out in his minority report that the ques- tion of disposing of the vast proper- ties at Muscle Shoals “is fraught With far-reaching and momentous results and one of the greatest which has ever engaged the attention of Con- gress.” “The acceptance of the Ford offer, he says, “would be a disposition of this property resulting in great ad- vantages to the government and our ready low-priced suits ingly large savings.

LAREDO, Tex., June 9.—It was re- rorted here late. yesterday that Gen. Lucio Blanco, formerly of the Mex- icar: army. and a companion named Martinez, had been captured and killed by Mexican customs guards and sol- dilers at Bayito crossing of the Rio Grande, a few miles up the river from Laredo. Blanco planned Mexico from Texas with a small band of followers and they were crossing the stream in skiffs, the report said. The report, which was generally con- sidered well founded. sald Martinez and Blanco had reached the Mexican side when they were seized and hand- cuffed together. Thelr captors await- jed the arrival of the other skiffs, but a shot fired accidentally Blanco's companions, who hurried back to the American side. Mean- ‘while Martinez and Gen. Blanco made for the river and were shot by guards. Blanco was shot first and Martinez dragged the body by handcuffs and rolled it into the river. Guards then shot Martinez and both bodies dis- appeared In the water, it was sald. Last reports sald the bodies had not been recovered. _— alarmed The reported engagement of Princess Yolande and the Belgian crown prince serves to recall how the nurse who at- tended the Italian princess at her birth and in early Infancy was presented with 32,000 with the royal baby's first tooth, another $2,000 when the child was able to speak and a similar sum when the little princess walked unsupported.

Take down the tombs, thumb all the blackest, all the fairest pages, and tell me where you read of nobler, finer, aye, or more fruitful sacrifices of men for their fel- lows! L4 “Here among you to whom the tradi- tions of those events are a sacred trust, is no place for recounting the discour- agement of the patriot cause, the low ebb of continental fortunes, the seeming that final disaster could not long be stayed. Almost from the day, in the preceding summer, when the ~great declaration had been issued, !_nil(orlune had followed on misfortune's heele— Long Island, the loss of New York, the surrender of the Hudson forest, the re- treat across New Jersey, the refuge in Pennsylvania. It was all leading toward the seemingly inevitable end. The Army was crumbling, only civil authority pre- tended to maintain any central organ. The enemy delayed to finish his task, only because he was so certain of his quarry that naste would be unseemly. Flash ot Defishee. “And then, the flash of Washington's deflance! The crossing of the Delaware in storm and ice floes; the march, and the delays which made it impossible to effect a night attack and a complete sur- prise; Washington's stern and fateful decision to press on and stake every- thing on the issue; finally the attack, and the victory. Brilliant as was_the accomplishment, Washington, on the Jersey side, was faced presently by the superior strength of the now consolidated British forces. At last his rival was sure of “the old fox.” Taen came the strategic with- drawal by Washington, at night, in se- cret, from his line on the ‘Assunpink creek, the flankinig march to Princeton, and the second surprise and defeat of the enemy. In the narrative of those magnificent winter days of marching ang fighting, surprises and victories, one finds the truest presentation of the in- domitable spirit which sustained, and, !at last, won the revoiution. “It is not often that the precise importance and significance of a par- ticular military detail can be so ac- curately appraised, as it can regard- ing the midwinter campalgn of Tren- ton-Princeton. The promulgation of the Declaration of Indepenaence had moved the British authorities to espe- cially determimed efforts for quick suppression of the revolution. To them it was vitally important that the fires of revolt be smothered be- fore the new feeling of nationality had risen to make the colonists real- ize the substantial unity of their se and their interests. ca‘lf'l‘he strategy of the British invasion of New Jersey has been bitterly critl- Imported Long White Gloves, 50c Superior quality, 12-button length, white lisle Gloves, perfect grade, 2- clasp style; in all sizes up to 8. to 50 are all-wool serges, pure The assortment is tre- nd there are regulars, shorts, slims in the lot, from 34 to 48.

The destruction of Washington’sarmy would almost have snuffed out the revolution. It would have given a demonstration " of the overwhelming preponderance of British power, which even the moat stout-hearted patriot would have found difficult to deny. On the other hand, Washing- ton percelved both the military and the political opportunity presented to him in the disposition of the ene- my's forces. There was a desperate chance to win a teHing victory, which would convert the New Jersey cam- paign into a disaster for the enemy; and there was also the possibility of winning a political victory by demon- strating the capacity of American leadership and'American soldiers to outwit and outfight veterans of Eu- ropean battlefields. “Washington, who was at once sol- dier, politician and statesman, recog- nized all these possibilities. He seized tke opportunity. He turned it com- pletely to his own advantage, and thereby inspired his army and the country behind him with & new con- fidence in themselves. Gave Cornwallls Dinner. “Years afterward Lord Cornwallis and the members of his staff were given a dinner by Gen. Washington, following the surrender at Yorktown. The compliments of the occasion were changed in a manner so gracious afid amiable that, as we read of it now, it is difficult to realize all their significance. Among the rest Lord Cornwallis made a speech, in which he paid his compliments to the mi tary genius of Washington. Compar- ing the Yorktown campaign with the Trenton-Princeton operation, he de- clared, turning to Gen. Washington and bowing profoundly, that, ‘When history shall have made up its ver- dict the fairest laurels will be gath- ered for your excellency, not from the shores of the Chesapeake, but from the banks of the Delaware. _Corn- wallis regarded the Trenton-Prince- ton campaign as the crowning glory of the Washington military career; and we do not need, to be reminded of the verdict of Frederick the Great, who ranked the Trenton-Princeton campalgn as the most brilliant of which he had knowledge. “When we view the course of hu- man affairs from the detached stand- point of history's student, we are amazed to discover how seldom a par- ticular military operation has deter- mined the results of a campalgn or the outcome of a great war. Wars are writ very bz in history; very much bigger sometimes than. they de- serve to be. Battles have seldom de- cided the fates of peoples. The real story of human progress is written elsewhere than on the world’s battle- flelds, and war and conflicts have pro- vided rather its punctuation than its theme. But among the exceptions among the cases in which a particu- lar conflict has had consequences and reverberations far greater in their potency than could possibly be im- agined from a consideration of the numbers engaged or the immediate results, none stands out more dis- tinctly than does_ the Trenton-Prince- ton campaign. We cannot say that the cause of independence and union would have been lost without it; but we must find ourselves at a loss if we attempt to picture the successful conclusion of ‘the revolution . had there been another and different is- sue from the struggle of those hard, midwinter days. Climax at Princeton. “The climax of that desperate ad- venture came on -the field of Prince- ton. Trenton had been an almost complete surprise, an easy victory. Princeton was a desperately contest- ed engagement, whose immediate re- sult included not only an enhearten- ing of the patriot cause, but a pro- found discouragement to those on the other side of the Atlantic, who were responsible for the continuation of the war. “So you have erected here at Prince- ton a fitting memorial to the heroes and heroism of that day. We bring and lay at its foot the laurel wreaths | which gratitude and patriotic senti ment will always dedicate to those who have borne the heat and burden of the conflict. Let us believe that their example in all of the future may be, as thus far it has been a glo- rious inspiration to our country. JEWS WARNED TO WAIT FOR PROBE IN MEXICO Offer of Territory Being Investi- gated— Deputation May Be Sent. By the Assoclated Press.

This hospitality has been shown in entertainments sightseeing rides and ordinary courtesies that might be ex- pected as well as in strikingly un- usual ways. The train was more than an hour late in its expected arrival at Den- ver, but the party, notwithstanding the limited time for the stay, was hurried into large handsome private automoblles and whisked to nymer- ous points of interest, including the millionaires’ palaces for which Den- ver 18 famous. No Stop at Cheyenne. At El Jebel Mosque dignitaries gave a royal welcome and the local Shriners were offered refreshments and other entertainment. Cheyenne, Wyoming, had eliminated from the itinerary. To make up lost time at Laramie, during a brief stop, Noble James S McCarthy appeared at the station. He is an Almas man, now living in Wyoming for his heath. - At Rawlings the nobles of Korein Temple staged a scene for a public concert by Almas band, which closed up a circus in town. This was fol- lowed by an old-fashioned barn dance with a lavish assortment of fruit and tea punch that was a boon to the weary travelers. Here also, the Almas Temple patrol appearing for the first time In its uniforms, scored an_ovation in an exhibition drill Potentate D, R. House of Korein acted as engineer of the train on its way to Ogden. At Ogden there were sight seeing tours, a trout and chick- en dinner. Salt Lake City repeated the splendid greetings of Ogden. The entire party marched from the sta- tion to the famous Mormon taber- nacle, where, through _personal friendship for recorder F. Lawrence Walker, the presidency of the church of latter day saints, gave a special afternoon concert on the tabernacle's famous organ, a rare and unique hon- or. The tabernacle's famous organ- ist, John J. McClellan, performed. First Glimpse of Lake. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in auto rides tendered by both Shriners and ladles of the East- ern Star. Here, too, the party had its first glimpse of the great Salt Lake. Thursday furnished an unevent- ful ride through the desert country to Riverdale, which was reached about midnight. Fine health and ex- cellent spirit prevailed without ex- ception in the party. _— PAY HIGH FOR JERSEY. Imported Cattle Average $780 a Head in Big Sale. MEREDITH, N. Y.

LATE CZAR’S RARE WINES TO BE SOLD BY REDS British May Buy Stock, But Reve- nue Will Be Used for Ma- chinery in Germany. @5 Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1922. BERLIN, June 9—Soviet Russia, which, like the United States, is sup- vosed to be dry, has opened the late czar's wine ceilars and will soon offer for sale some of the rarest vin- tages of France, Germany and_the Caucasus—wines that have been handed down through successive gen- erations of the Romanoff family. It is said that the stock has been close- ly guarded since Czar Nicholas was deposed and that the stock is still intact. Britain. _according _to dispatches from Moscow, will have the first cha..ce at these choice wines, but the proceeds from their sale are to be used for the purchase off food and machinery in Germany. The soviets expect to make millions of marks out of the sale, but so far not even an approximate estimate of the total sum expected is available. —————— RELIEF BODY IS CLEARED. Aid Investigators Find Prisoners’ Society’s Books Regular. Investigation of the Prisoners' lief Society by the Post Office partment has resulted in a “clean bill of health” for the organization, E. E. Dudding. president’ 6f the" so- ciety, announced today, following re- ceipt of a letter from Chief Inspector Rush D. Simmons. The investigation started several months 2go. and went into the affairs and the methods of administration of the society. Chief Inspector Sim- mons’ letter to Mr. Dudding reads as follows: “With reference to your letter of May 21, 1922, in which you request a statement of the inspector’s findings in the investigation of the business and methods of the Prisoners’ Relief Society, I have to inform you that the investigation did not disclose evi- dence warranting the issuance of a fraud order, nor did the facts dis- close any reason for submitting the case to the United States attorney for the inatitution of criminal proceed- ings. In the absence of any new or additional evidence or complaints, further action is not contemplated, and in so far as the Post Office De- partment is concerned, the case is considered closed. The Prisoners’ Relief Society was instituted a number of years ago by Mr. Dudding to aid men coming out of prison to regain a status as useful citizens. DIES ON FRONT PORCH.
