METAL ST SHOALS
TO HEME STEEL
WASHINGTON, April 19.—Pro
duction of a metal which, its sponsor
claims, would ‘‘revolutionize trans
portation,” is one of the features of
the Hooker-White-Atterbury pro
posal for operation of Muscle Shoals,
jjjt developed at today's hearing of the
agriculture committee.
B’L W. W. Atterbury, vice president in
Tcharge of operations of the Pennsyl
• Vania railroad, and one of the princi
pals in the bid, said the cheap power
available at Muscle-Shoals virtually
would assure the practical production
of this metal, which is made from an
alloy of aluminum and magnesium,
and would supplant steel in railroad
tar construction.
The chief merit of the metal, At
terbury 1 said, is that it is strong and
light, and would permit the carrying
of a heavier freight passenger
cargo. Manufacture of the metal is
now prohibitive, he. said, because of
the high cost of electric power,
which is needed in the process.
The metal was used in German
Zeppelins during the war, he ex
' plained.
Lower Cost Fertilizer
J. G. White, one of the three bid
ders, said their proposal would as
sure the production of fertilizer for
the farmers at a lower. cost than
government operation, because their
corporation would be free from poli
tics and would encourage initiative.
Francis R. Weller, a consulting
engineer of Washington, D. C., said
the Hooker bid was the only proposal
that would return to the. government,
at the end of the lease period, all of
. the funds expended at Muscle Shoals,
and that the Ford bid was indefen
sible 1 from any standpoint.”
Discussing further the fertilizer
end of the Hooker proposal, White
said that due to their corporation's
“peculiar fitness for the job,” it
■would be necessary for them to se
cure only two per cent increased ef
over government operation
. tm fover the corporation’s profits
from the manufacture and distribu*
t<on of fertilizer. r
Assure Control Continuance
White said he would have no ob
jection to some equitable provision
which would assure to the govern
ment a continuance of the control
>f the Muscle Shoals co.novation in
independent hands and prevent its
passing into any hands which the
government might not approve.
Attacking the Ford proposal. Wel
ler said the bid would give Ford a
subsidy that would enable him suc
cessfully to compete with any line
of industry using large of
power.
The Associated Power companies’
proposal "is far better than the Ford
bid,” as it covers only a- 50-year
lease and brings the operation un
der the control of the federal power
commission, Weller asserted.
"Under the Ford bid,” Weller
clainied. “the government would re
ceive for a 56-year period $90,998,-.
300; from the Associated Power
companies’ proposal the government
would re< eive $130,400,001), and un
der* the Hooker proposal a total of
1305,163,700.”
The committee will continue its
Consideration of the Hook u r bid M in

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SEEN
IN WIND TOWER INVENTION
Electricity Provided for
Farm and Village With
Breeze as Generator—First
One Proves Success
< '
LONDON, April 19.—An alluring
visipn of a new and merrier Eng
land is presented by an inventor
with faith in the future of his wind
towers.
These, it is claimed, by means or
wings set at an elevation of 200 feet,
will produce electricity for all pur
poses of the farm and the village.
One of the towers is working suc
cessfully now on a farm in East
Prussia.
The holder of the English patent
rights is T. Vt oik of London, a Rus
sian, who in 1916 voluntarily en
listed in the British army, and in
1922 became a naturalized British
subject.
As an outcome of study in Russia,
Germany and France, Wolk is al
i ready, though still comparatively
young, recognized as an authority
in the domain of practical engineer
ing.
Known as the Venti-Motor, the in
vention has produced, it is claimed,
a happy marriage between wind
power and electricity.
One of the most, familiar of Eng
lish institutions, the windmill, is to
be elevated to a supreme guardian
ship of the main material interests
of the British people.
Towers of concrete, running in the
highest case up to 200 feet, will, by
means of great wings, only two in
number, up to 171 feet in diameter,
capture the force of the wind.
Unlike the wind turbine, which is
propelled, the Venti-motor exhibits
its value as a repeller. The power
exerted against the wings (repeller)
passes, by virtue of its being the
f>ivot or “hub” around which the
wings rotate, into a steel bar, which,
by a turn, carries it into the base
ment of the tower, where it is trans
formed into electrical power, useable
either instantly or subsequently, for
a t variety of purposes.
It is declared that a tower will
work efficiently in any country; it is
adapted equally to hill, plain or val
ley. It is further claimed that there
will be a continuous supply of
power, whatever the directlton of
the wind.
If the inventor is sound in Is
calculations, the advent of the Venti
motor may mark a revolution.
No longer will there be any need
to buy or feed horses; neither will
any fuel be required.
Labor will be greatly reduced, for
electrip power will do in one day's
work that would occupy men fifteen
days.
The soil can be dug deeper and
more extensively aerated; field op
erations will be greatly expedited;
manures can be created, nitrogen
can be drawn from the atmosphere
as desired; crops can be electrified
and horse-drawn wagons will give
way to the automobile truck.
An observation as to the pros
pective effect on agricultural labor
draws an arresting picture from
Wolk’s mind.
“Disaster to the laboring agricul
turist?
“Why, the very’ reverse will be
the case. It will preserve to Eng
land, and immensely’ multiply her
greatest treasure, the surest source
of her strength—the man who lives
on the good earth and the clean air,
I the man wl.o renders his country
1 the greatest service.
“The wind-tower epells salvation
for the small man in agriculture:
and it is not improbable that it will
I draw many thousands of the people
■ from the towns back to the country,
j Indeed, if the wind-tower is accept
i ed in this country industry, at an.v
rate the smaller industries, can be
transported into the country whole
sale.”

Albany Banker’s Wife,
Killed by Explosion
ALBANY, Ga., April 19.—Mrs. 1
Paul J. Brown, wife of the presi- ,
dent of the Albany Exchange Na-1
tional bank, died at her home here j
shortly before noon today as the
result of injuries received about an
hour earlier when a gas water heat
er in the bathroom of her home ex
ploded.
Mrs. Brown was in the bathtub
-cqmpletely submerged by water
when a servant rushed in at the
sound of the explosion. She was to
all appearances dead, but resuscita
tion efforts were begun and kept
up for more than an hour before
hope of reviving her was given up.
Mrs. Brown is survived, besides
her husband, by four small chil
dren. '
The exact manner in which the
accident occurred is not clear. Mrs.
Brown remained unconscious after
she had been found in the bathroom.
She had gone inter the bathroom a
few minutes before, and when her
servants reached her they found her
helpless. She apparently had not
been burned, though towels and
other articles in the room were •
scorched.
A fire alawn was sounded, and
firemen who reached the Brown
home in a few minutes immediately
began the use of a pulmotor in an
attempt to restore Mrs. Brown to
conscious is. They were assists I
a few minutes later by physicians.

Last night 149 years, to the hour,;
after the lanterns were hung in the I

Execution Deferred
Negro Slayer Claims
He Is ‘Legally Dead’
The state supreme court on Mon- !
da.v received a petition for a man-;
damns in behalf of Lucius Mallory,
a negro, condemned to death for the I
murder of a negro woman in Hous- !
ton county some months ago. Mai-i
lory was sentenced to be hanged in ■
March, but. prior to the date of the'
execution his sentenced was stayed j
by Governor Walker, pending the I
submission of what. Mallory's attor- j
neys' claimed to be evidence of ex- ;
tenuating circumstances.
The respite expired, but the sher-i
iff of Houston county did not carry!
out the sentence of the court,, due I
to a misunderstanding of the legal ,
technicalities. Mallory was resen
tenced, but his attorneys claimed!
that since the sentence had not been |
executed on the scheduled day. Mai- ;
lory should be considered legally
dead.
Judge 11. A. Mathews, of the Ma-1
eon circuit, superior court, did not '
concur in this opinion and refused!
a writ of habeas corpus. The de
fendant then took out a bill of ex
ceptions to the supreme court and
when Judge Mathews refused to sign
the exceptions, filed a petition for*
a writ of mandamus to compel the
judge to affix his signature. The
supreme court will pass upon the
matter but in the meantime, Mal
lory is scheduled to be hanged on
W-idiiesday of this week.

MSOUHERBONUS
WASHINGTON, April 20. —The in
surance soldier bonus bill was ad
canved rapidly in senate Saturday
in its first real test there, and to
night the atmosphere apparently had
cleared sufficiently to assure its pas
sage without serious contest early
next week.
Democratic spokesmen indicated
they would not press their proposal
for inclusion in the bill of a full cash
payment option, in the face of in
sistent support for the pending meas
ure by both Republican leaders and
the American Legion.
This stand was taken by Demo
crats after Senator Watson, Repub
lican, Indiana, had told Senator Rob
inson, of Arkansas, the Democratic
leader, that some Republicans had
told President Coolidge they would
vote to override a veto if he should
order one on the pending measure,
but that they would vote to sustain
a veto if the cash option were incor
porated.
Likewise, Commander Quinn of the
American Legion in a message sent
to each senator, urged support for
the pending insurance bill on life
grounds that it could be passed over
a presidential veto, but that a com
bination cash and insurance propo
sition could not. A careful poll oi
the senate had shown such a situa
tion, Mr. Quinn contended.
Position of President Uncertain
Repeated attempts by Senator Rob
inson to verify’ “rumors” that Presi
dent Coolidge would sign the insur
ance bill, but would veto the cash
measure, brought no definite re
sponse from Republican senators.
Senator Curtis, Republican, Kan
sas, in charge of the bill, did say’ in
reply, however, that he believed the
insurance measure had a better
chance of obtaining presidential ap
proval than would the cash and in
surance proposition.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massa
chusetts, who Friday introduced a
substitute bill calling for options of
full cash payments or insurance poli
cies, did net press it. He announc
ed, however, he would speak on the
bill Monday.
The Walsh bill, which it is under
stood had the support of Democrat
ic members of the finance commit
tee, with the exception of Senator
King, of Utah, who is opposed to
any bonus, would provide for funds
for the cash payments by issuance
of $1,500,000,000 more of the second
Liberty loan bonds.
With but brief debate, the senate
adopted almost a score of minor
amendments to the house bill pro
posed. b.v the finance committee.!
Senator Jones, Democrat, New Mexi
co, announced he would propose some
other amendments of a somewhat
technical nature. Aside from these,
the way practically was cleared to
day’ for passage of the bill.
No Opposition Speech Made
During the more than three hours
of debate, not a speech in opposition
to the bonus was made, the contro
versy’ centering on the proposal for
a cash option.
Senator \\ atson, declared, how
ever, that if this proposition were
adopted, enough Republican votes
would be lost to prevent passage
of the bill over a presidential veto.
Senator Curtis said the cost of the
bill probably would amount to $2.-
500,000,000, spread over a period of
twenty years. Senator Walsh of I
Massachusetts, insisted the meas- !
tire would cost $3,609,000,000, but '
that the combination cash and in-j
surance measure would cost $1,500.-'
000.000 less.
An amendment offered bv Senator j
Curtis to make all employes who
would be required for administra
tion of the Dill subject to civil serv-i
ice examination was adopted, as'was
a committee amendment making
women who served in the yeoman I
service in the navy and marine corps
to the bonus. This affects
abdut 11,000 women.
Ix>gion Indorses Bill
I ne American Ldgion indorsed Die
insurance bill. In a message to!
each senator, Commander Quinn 1
asked that no attempt be made on
t,ie . floor to amend the pending bill.
Commander Quinn mentioned spe
cifically’ the proposed amendment by'
finance committee Democrats for a
full cash payment option and ex
pressed the belief that if it were
adopted chances of the bonus hill ■
becoming law would be endangered,
rhe bill as it was so overwhelm
ingly passed by the house.” said
Commander Quinn's message, “and i
as it was reported by the senate :
finance committee, Is in accordance
with the resolution adopted at the
national conventions of the Ameri- 1
car. Legion at San Francisco this
year and at New Orleans last year.
This meets with approval of mem
bers of the American Legion. The
question of immediate payment in
cash has not been before the ex
service men and women for more
than two years. In the name of the'
ex-service men and women of the'
country we ask your support of the
bill as ieported by the finance com
mittee.
“We believe that this bill can
become a law even over a veto by
the president. What the ekserv
men and women desire is that tnv,
bill become a law Your active sup
port therefore of this bill as re
ported by the finance committee
will receive the sincere appreciation j
of the ex-service men and women)
of the nation.”

Orifice of Heart
Opened by Surgeon;
Patient Recovers
BALTIMORE, Md.. April 19.—An
operation on the human he«rt ap
parently successful in every way,
and in which the organ was actual
ly bared by the surgeon’s knife, was
described at the meeting of the
American Surgical association here
by Dr. Elliott C. Cutler, of Harvard
Medical school, who performed it.
He told of having inserted his finger
in at) orifice in the heart to cure a
valvdla# disease and chat the patient
is still living eleven months, later
and much improved.
Dr. Cutler said that the patient
was a 14-year-old girl. One of the
orifices of her heart was so small
that it was impossible for the organ
to function. The child was threat
ened with death.
The sack in which the heart is
inclosed was opened. The organ it
self was exposed. While it beat, the
delicate operation ot opening the ori
fice was performed. The sack was
closed and the patient slowly recov
ered.
That the operation was one which
would be attempted only in the most
desperate cases, and that it was one
in which the mortality was likely to
be high was made clear.
Student Nurses Draw
Suspension for Bobs
At Chicago Hospital
CHICAGO, April 19. —Because
they bobbed their hair, tn violation
of a rule of the training school su
perintendent, four student nurses at
the Cook County (Chicago) hospital
have been suspended for a month or
until they grow long hair.
Recently an unofficial vote was
taken at the county hospital and
most of the 300 nurses there favored
bobbed hair. A dozen became indig
nant when Miss Mary C. Wheeler,
superintendent of the Illinois Train
ing School for Nurses, ordered all
girls with shorn locks to wear nets
or false hair and forbade any fur
ther, bobbing.
The twelve agreed to have their
hair bobbed in spite of the rule.
Four carried out the agreement. At
the expiration of the month of sus
pension they will he required to take
their month's vacation, to allow
ample time for the return of long
hair. _____

PUT DAWES PLAN
TOWWTOH
YORK, England, April 20.—(8.v
the Associated Press.) —To take the
reparation experts’ report as a
whole and put it into operation all
at once with everybody’ back of it
was the course advocated by Prime
Minister MacDonald in addressing
a crowded labor meeting in the
Theater Royal here yesterday’, He
that the allies should accept Ger
many's word and advocated her ad
mission to the League of Nations
as another step for bringing peace
to the continent.
It urging unity among the allies
m applying the plan outlined by
the report, Mr. MacDonald said it
was clear from that document that
if they went on for another two
years and carried out the policy
that had been practiced for two or
three years past there would be no
hope for relief, no hope of repara
tion and none for security or pgace.
To take the chance that now was
offered and put the plan into oper
ation a* a whole and t-taen “go on
and finish the job and bring peace
and security’ to the continent” was
what he cared about and what he
was feoing to work for.
Nationalism Held Dangerous
By’ -letting Germany join the
League of Nations, he said, they
could complete the organization
upon which he would like to found
the future peace of Europe. He re
garded the rise of an extreme na
j tionalism in Germany as a very
| great menace—dangerous to Europe
and deplorable for Germany as well.
The. policy’of the allies, he said, was
: largely responsible for this rise of
j Ihe German nationalist movement.
He urged that the allied attitude
should be to accept Germany's
I word, and he pointed out that the
greatest danger Germany’ offered to
Europe now was not the danger of
arms, but the danger of industrial
deterioration.
Turning to the experts’ report on
reparations, the premier declared he
would be glad to find the entire
. country back of him in his view that
; the report ought to be taken as a
whole.
There were things in it he -did not
like and things in it he did like, but
if he began to raise this detail and
that detail, France, Belgium and
Germany would do the same and
they would be exactly where they
started.
Good Will Needed
Even if they had an agreement in!
these circumstances they would
never get good will behind the agree
ment.
“Here is your chance,” continued
Mr. Macdonald. “Put it into oper
ation all at once, all together. Then,
when that is done, go on and finish
the job and bring peace and security
to the continent.”
Referring to India, the premier
said:
“We know the serious condition j
of affairs in India and we want tc.
improve it. As Lord Ollivier (head!
of the Indian office) says without!
equivocation, a dominion status for'
India is the idea and ideal of the
labor government.
If I may say so to our Indian
f riends:
“ ‘Do your bit for the British
democracy; keep your faith in a Brit
ish labor government.’ ”
GERMANY ACCELERATES
SETTLEMENT PLANS
BERLIN. April 19.—(8y the As
sociated Press.) —Goaded ' by the
baiting of the nationalist leaders
who are alretidv makinga united at
tack on the government for its ac
ceptance of the experts’ repor* as a
basis for r eparation parties.. Foreign
Minister Stresemann went oefore a
conference of German cdi’o.rs today
and inform">d them that the German
government was accelerating a.l
preparations for the impending dis
cussion. It would submit the data
requested by the reparation commis
sion at the earliest possible date, he
said.
As ths report of the experts has ;
been a ■ repted by’ Germany’ in all its
fur.damema s there could be no rd
,vance discussion over any specific
detrvl. Dr. Stresemann tok ho edi
tors. adding that the problem w >uld
have to be definitely clarified before
.lune 15. to which date the “Micum”
agreement between the irtdustrial
is.ts and ’he Franco-Belg:-in admiri
istra.ioa *in the Ruhr had been ex
pended
Dr. Stresemann severaly criticised
the attack made on the experts' re.
port made by Dr. Karl Helffrich, the
nationalist leader designating it as
misleading and of a purely political, |
(wlemioil nature. Tne foreign min .
ister expressed belief that certain .
details of th eplan xo which the gov-1
ernment’s opponents now were tak i

But while the police were breaking

BAFFLED BROOKLYN POLICE
MORE THAN THREE MONTHS
NEW YORK, April 21.—Activities
of the bobbed hair bandit who, it is
believed, has been captured in the
person of Celia Cooney at Jackson
ville, baffled the police for more
than three months.
The gun girl first made her ap
pearance in Brooklyn early’ in Jan
uary when she held up a shop with
the aid of a male companion. Be
fore. the end of March, the list of
hold-ups in which the pair partici
pated had mounted to sixteen.
The girl specialized/in drug stores
and in chain grocery stores. She
would enter nonchalantly, apparent
ly’ for some merchandise, and when
the clerk faced her, would point a
pistol at him and order him to give
her the contents ot the cash register.
Then she would back slowly out,
keeping the clerk covered and warn
ing him not to call for aid until she
was out of sight. During the first
few weeks of her activities, she left
taunting notes to the police. She
ro.bbed one place twice within about
a week. i
Most of the time she would carry
I out her hold-up while a male com
' panion waited outside at the wheel
I of a motor car.
While bobbed haired bandits’ ac-
I tivities were reported from Brook
lyn and then from Manhattan and
the Bronx, police arrested several
young women on suspicion, but were
unable to establish "that any one of
them was the real Brooklyn
celebrity.
