The conclave of the Sacred Col

WASHINGTON!. — Secretary of
War Weeks transmitted' to con
gress Thursday the offer and con
tract of Henry Ford ror the Mus
cle Shoals properties. The secre
tary made no specific recommen
dation to acceptance or rejection
but pointed out several changes
that should be made if the ofTer
were accepted. He said there were
"a number of advantages to the
government In the present pro
posals that were not apparent in
the first offer" made by .Mr. Ford
and concluded by giving’ it as his
opinion that “if Mr. Ford’s pro
posal be not accepted it is my-
opinion that Dam No. 2• (Wilson
dam) should be completed by the
government.”
“At this time,” Secretary Weeks
wrote, "when there is a large
amount of unemployment It is not
without importance to consider the
advantage to the nation of the
employment of the large amount
of labor required In undertaking
this development.”

William G. McAdoo, war-tme direc
tor general of railroads declared
Thursday in continuation of his
testimoQy at the Interstate com
merce committee Inquiry into the
present railroad situation. .
Declaring there is no competi
tion at present between the rail
roads in either freight rates, or
passenger fares, which are estab

Mr. McAdoo said the only possible
competition at present was in ser
vice. He added that whil^ rail
roads gorge themselves with bus
iness which they have not the .ta-
ciiities to handle, the public would
profit were it possible to have the
carriers make' most economical
common use of terminal facilities,
and to have “paralleLtracks cf com
peting carriers considered double
tracks for the benefit of both.
"The public has paid a high price
for alleged competition,” Mr. Mc
Adoo declared, asserting that "its
alleged advantages. tb the public
are largely mythical^ ;

WATKINSVILLE, Ga. — The
prosecution in the case against
Herbert Thomas, Oconee county
farmer accused of the murder of
George Lowe, negro, on the night
of December 4, last, rested Ite
case shortly after 11 o'clook
Thursday morning and was fol
lowed by the defense who rested '
at 12:25. Court recessed then to
resume at 2 o’clock in the after
noon. Arguments will then prob
ably begin.
The defense put up a number
of witnesses in the attempt to
prove an alibi that the defendant
was sick in his bed at home at
the time of the murder. The
prosecution countered with sev
eral witnesses, among them rel
atives of the negro Lowe and
officers who swore to finding the
body and who described the posi-
tiort of the wounds.
Interest in the trial is being
shown to a greater degree than at
any previous trial in Oponee coun*
ty. The court room is packed with
spectators, men and women, among
them a large number of neatly
dressed white women, presumably
friends of the defendant Thomop
and the three accused under, the
same bill of indictment., .A heavy,
lino-of negroes stand against , the;
walls of the room, and.bailiffs aro :
constantly, kept busy ih trying to,
make them find seats.. An air of
tension pervades the atmosphere.,

testimony as the trial progresses is
almost that of a casually- Inter

WASHINGTON. — Edward H.

here early Thursday at Walter

atre disaster Saturday night.
• Although Mr. Shaughnessy’s in
juries were known to be of a crit
ical nature, his condition had
shown improvement up to Wednes
day, and his death was unexpected.
Attending physicians at the army
hospital, to which Mr. Shaughr
nessy was taken when removed
from the wreckage of the motion
picture theatre several hours after
the collapse of its roof which
caused nearly a hundred fatalities,
said his death followed a sudden
heart collapse shortly after mid
night. This was preceded they
said, by development of internal
complications late Wednesday. Mr.
Shaughnessy suffered a broken pel
vis and other injuries in tho acci
dent, but for several days had
shown. a resistive power which
made physicians hopeful of his
ultimate recovery.
WIFE AND DAUGHTER
HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD
Mr, Shaughnessy’s wife and his
ten year old daughter, Ruth, both
of whom are now lecovering from
injuries received, in the theatre
disaster, had not been informed of
his death fit an early hour Thurs
day. They are being treated at an
other hospital, the daughter having
had both arms broken, while Mrs.
Shaughnessy is suffering from a
