\l‘ ;:mm a short distance FORD WANTS LEASE ON MUSCLE SHOALS . Offrs $150,000,000 to Take Orer . Govt. Nitrate Plant ‘Washington, July 15.—Is Henry Ford desirous of moving his plant or any considerable part of it from De- » troit to Muscle Shoals, Ala., because of the possibility of procuring cheap siwater power from the government plant ai the latter place? The question raised by his offer to the government of $150,000,000 for a 100-year lease on the two dams and 3 nitrate plant now under construction by the government, at the mouth of the Tennessee River. _All the iron, eFteel and coal his plants could use are within half a day’s run from Muscle Shoals. Secretary of Commerce Hoover has submitted to Secretary of War Weeks &' proposal from Mr. Ford to taka over the project on a lease convert, and use of the nitrate plant for the manufacture of fertilizer and guaran- tee to produce explosives in event of war. The profits of the fertilizer «plant would be restricted .to 8 per gent. under the lease, and an inde- pendent board, composed of repre- sentatives of the American Farm Bu- reau, the National Grange and the Farmers’ Union would see that the maximum is not exceeded. The Muscle Shoals project was born of the war. It was designed to har- ness the Tennessee river and to pro- vide a plant at which high explosives “rcould be turned out cheaply and quickly for the armies of the United States. It has cost $80,000,000 so far aand $28,000,000 more will be expend- ed before it is completed. Mr. Ford would also guarantee the maintenance of the locks and other * Works on the Tennessee river which make that stream navigable to Chat- tanooga. The $150,000,000 payment Would be extended over the hundred- \#ear period. Mr. Ford would pay 6 per cent interest on, $28,000,000 need- ed to complete the project, and would a aortize not only this but the entire cost of the work. The offer stipulates that all the power above that necessary for the operation of the fertilizer plant he may utilize In his own business. Just ‘what this means is not clear at this time. Y Mr. Ford now owns a large inter- est in a coal mine near the project, #nd the Birmingham Steel mills are of Muscle oals. It is believed that if the m%nufacturer desired to do’ so he ¢ould increase his business™largely if secured the lease and further re- ce the cost of the product of his factories. This and the promised re- |, duced price of fertilizer are expected to provide arguments for the offer Wwith the members of congress from Taral districts. ';‘, Final disposition of the offer rests th congress. In transmitting it to etary Weeks, yesterday: ‘“Whatever may be the result, Mr. lord’s offer does prove what the pub- assoclations have contended—thét _fhe completion of this project has Vyommercul value.” Secretary Hoover & PERMANENT FIREMEN. ‘Sixteen Applicants Successful in Civil Service Exams.

Dedham, Mass., July 15—A jury after five hours’ deliberation .yester- day found Niccola Sacco guilty of first degree murder, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti guilty of first degree murder. The men were tried for the killing of 4 paymaster and his guard in a rob- bery at South Braintree in April, 1920. Each of the two defendants was found guilty on each of two indict- ments, one of which charged them jointly with the murder of Paymas- ter Frederick A. Parmenter and the other with the murder of Alessandro Berardelli ,his guard. When the verdict was returned both men were calm but pale. A mo- ment later Sacco, in an outburst, lev- eled his finger at the jury and cried: “You kill two innocent men,” repeat- ing this again and again in England and Italian. ‘“We are innocent,” he said. Vanzetti was sileat. Mrs. Sacco threw herself into her husband’s arms as he stood in the dock, clutching him with her hands and wailing hysterically. 4 Several minutes elapsed before she could be taken away.

Cleveland, O., July 15.—A business session this morning and a parade this aZ‘ernoon, followed by the unveiling of a monument to Rev. Father James M. Hanley, former battalion chap- lain of the 165th New York infantry, were on today’s program of the sec- ond annual convention of the Rain- bow 'Division Veterans' association. There was little doubt but that the bonus question would come up at the business session, according to the del- egates. Many of the delegates have stated they are opposed to a cash bonus and advocate care of the dis- abled soldiers first. After the parade, it had been planned for Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war; Rev. Father Fran- c¢is P. Duffy, chief chaplain of the 1¢6th infantry, and others to address the veterans from the reviewing ctend. “VALLEY OF DOUBT” AT PALACE The photoplay part of the bill at the Palace for the remainder of the week includes the famous Lee Kids in their brand new comedy, “The Hicks- ville Terrors;’’ Eddie Polo in the last episode of “King of the Circus,” and Willard Mack’'s well known story of the frozen north, “The Valley o!

The Western Union Telegraph Com- pany anncunces that arrangements have been made to resume direct money transfer servica to all pointy in Austria, Hungary, Czecho Slovakia, Jugo Slavia, Roumania and Bugaria or July 15. This service will be sup- plementary to its present direct cable money transfer service to Great Brit- ain, France and other European countries. This rearranged serfvice is on an entirely new basis in that. remittances for persons in Austria and the ncw states formerly compris- ed in the Austrian Empire as well as .t points in Roumania and Bulgaria, be made in United States legal ten- der, dollars. In other words $100 cabled to, say Vienng or Prague, will be paid at destination in United States currency instead of an equivalent amount of kroner as is usually the case in these countries. It is pointed out that since the payee abroad will receive American funds he will be in a position to convert them into local currency on the most advantageous terms since the banks in those coun- tries will give a more favorable rate of exchange than is available on this side. In the event of non-payment at des- tination the amount to be refunded to 5500 $5.00 the sender on this side will be the same as the principal deposited, which is another advantage in the case of a depreciated foreign cur- rency which ig dwindling in value.

I., July 15.—A number of Filipinos prominent in business and politics private . interviews told members of the Wood-Forbes inves- tigating mission that while they de- sired independence for the Philippine Islands at some future date, they be- li~ved Philippines were as yet un- prepared to assume independent gov- ernment under the precarious finan- cial conditions existing.
