PICKARD G OVERNMENT ownership of Mus cle Shoals received Its death blow In the senate when that body, as the committee of the whole, by a vote of 48 to 37, substituted the Underwood leasing bill for the Norris bill, which bad been reported by the committee on agriculture as a substitute for the Henry Ford measure passed by the house. The Underwood measure how ever, may not be finally passed by the senate. Instead, the Jones substitute Is quite likely to be fUecessful. This provides for the appointment of a com mission of three, comprised Of the sec retary of war, the secreti/ry of agri culture and one other to, be selected by the President, to study the entire problem nmp'tefioft a solution to con gress next winter. Most of the gov-" ernniVnt ownership advocates are said to prefer this to the Underwood bill, under which the President Is author ized to lease the Muscle Shoals prop erty at any time up to September 1, on terms similar to the Henry Ford otter, except that the lease Is limited to fifty years. If no satisfactory lease can be made a government .corporation will be created. The lilfi emphasizes production of fertilizer for agricultural purposes, and specifies the amount of air nitrogen which must be produced by a lessee. TX7<)RKIN(} rapidly and smoothly, ’ v the senate passed the appropria tion hills for the Interior and Agricul tural departments and the combined Treasdry-Post-Otlice measure. Only slight changes were made in any of them. The house passed an emergen cy deficiency bill carrying $ir>7,(HKI,(HK) for Immediate expenditure. Major provisions of the bill, In addition to the Inland Waterways corporation item, are $1.10,000,000, to be- used in I refunding internal revenue taxes ille gally assessed and collected; $3,501,200 for continuing work on dam No. 2 at Muscle Shoals, Ala.; $275,000 for eradi cating reported epidemics of bubonic plague among rats at New Orleans and Oakland, Ual., and $150,000 for repair ing the coast guard cutter Manning. During the discussion of this meas ure It came out that the appropria tions committee had turned down re quests of the President for money to pay the expenses of the St. Lawrence and the agricultural commissions, and that Chairman Martin Madden had sharply questioned the legal right of the President to appoint commissions without the authorization of congress. alleged fact that various congressmen are among the frequent offenders. Mr. Upshaw of (ieorgla intimates that an effort may be made to expel from tin* house those members who drink intoxi cating liquors. YX7ITH a margin of -only one vote v v the senate refused to override President Coolidge’s veto of the postal employees’ pay raise bill. Fifty-five senators voted for the measure, but 29 stood firm in sustaining the veto and the prestige of the White House and of Senator Curtis, the new majority leader of the senate, was saved. This was done by the aid of Senator Dial, Democrat, who voted tot sustain the veto, and .of King, Owen and Shields, also Democrats, who were absent.'Sev eral who" orginally favored the bill changed over and voted against it. It was at once announced by tile administration lenders that they would now push the Moses bill, which pro vides for wage inerhn'ses for postal employees and for postal rate ad vances amounting to $(!(».<MN),000. Rut it was believed the chances to get this measure through in this session were TUT<)RE than a million farmers in 18 ■*•*■*• states were represented by lead ers of the co-operative marketing movement who gathered in Washing ton last week, and those lenders de clared themselves opposed to any cod dling by the government and emphati cally against the proposal of the Cap per-Williams bill to unite producers and speculators into one organization The men who dominate the national council of farmers' co-operative mar keting associations now ask only that the government take up, in behalf of co-operation, the Introduction of a senate resolution calling for an inves tigation of alleged unfair tactics by the American Tobacco company and the Imperial Tobacco company (Brit ish) against the Tobacco (Irowers’ Co operative association.

OKNATOR LADD of North Dakota, one of the four LnFollette> sup porters who were read out of the Re publican party by the senate caucus, found opportunity last week to de nounce that action and to declare he would not suhmij to it. He said the same method would have meant the death of the Republican party in 1912. Thereupon Senator Edge said the Re publicans would welcome Senator Ladd back into the party if the section of his address relative to the return of Roosevelt to the party was an indi cation of "your plans to march in line in the future." On the Democratic side. Senator Dial recently made an address blam ing Democratic members of congress for the party’s defeat last November. For this he was hotly assailed by other Democratic senators, and he asked leave to withdraw his remarks, say ing he had not intended to be offensive, seeking only a way to reunify his party. value Tharlt ston s foreign commerce in 1924 fell off slightly from 1923, there was on the other hand a substantial increase in the number of vessels in foreign trade which entered at the local custom house. A total of 183 vessels entered in foreign'trade during the year, as compared to 162 in 1923, and 121 in 1922. The coastwise entries were 254. Of the ships entering in foreign trade 157 were steamers, nine were sailing ships. 13 barges .ml four, motor ships. The American flag predominated, al- though not to the extent that, it did he previous year. The entries in frr< gn trade, according to flags, were as follows: American, 99; British, 40; Norwegian, 21; Danish, 7; Japanese, 4; German, 3; Danzig, 2; Sweden, 1; Belgian. 1; Italian, 2; Greek 1; Pana- man, 1; Honduran, 1. The vessels which enter and clear at. the custom house represent but a portion of the shipping that njoves in and out of Charleston. Ships under coastwise or enrolment papers are not required to enter and clear, and can ng at or sailing from a port. Coast wise ships operating under register are required to enter an dclear, and can sail in foreign trade if they wish. Those under coastwise or enrolment papers, however, ply strictly in coast wise traffic. Sh’ps coming in port for bunker are not required to enter, nor do ships which arrive in distress, pro viding they -depart within 4S hours. GUN ELEVATION PRESIDENT WOULD KEEP F^ITH WITH ALL THE OTHER NATIONS. /CHICAGO, the upper Mississippi val- ^ ley and all cities on the Great Lakes are vitally interested in the de cision of the United States Supreme court forbidding, after GO days, the withdrawal of more than 4.1G7 cubic’ feet of water per second from Lake Michigan for the Chicago drainage canal. As at present constructed and operated, the Chicago drainage system requires two or three times this amount of water, and if the court's order stands a new program of sewage disposal will have to he undertaken at great expense. The suit was brought by the government years ago. The real complainants are the lake cities, which claim the lake level is being dangerously lowered, and the people of the Illinois and Mississippi river val leys, who say the water was contami nated. The Chicago congressmen are seeking temporary relief from the sec retary of war and permanent relief from congress. Castoo s Will Now Probated. Spartanburg—In connection with *he recent announcement of a $5,000 bequest left Wofford college by the tLe Robert T. Easton of Cberaw it became known that Mrs. J. W. Gar rett of this city was left $4,000 and James H. Carlisle $400, and M.ss Susie Shoemaker $500. • Other items probated in the will are: $5,000 for Wofford cqilege, aln ady made known; Methodist church of Che raw, $10,000; Associated Charities ef Cheraw, $3.0('.0; Parent Teacher as sociation of Cheraw. $1 000; Civic league of Cheraw, $2,000; Cheraw Lit erary association, $2,000; Carl sie Courtenay home in Columbia, $2,000; Florence Orittenton home in Charles ton. $1,006; St. Margaret’s home in Charleston. $1,000; American Bible society of New York. $1,000; Interna tional Sunday Scho >i association in South Carolina, $2,000; remainder of estate, valued at $4o,00i) to $50,000, public schools of Cheraw. Mr Caston died at Cheraw, Decem ber'24. He had for years been a suc cessful attorney and bank president and often visited Spartanburg. Washington. — President Cooljdgo sounded what Washington general re gards as the death kneil for the move to bring about the elevation of guns on the capital ships o? the America!* navy. The views of the Pres Vent i« the proposal to raise the guns to Increase their range were presented with un mistakable definiteness at the-'white house. He holds that elevation of the guns would he a return to the old international competition in arma ments and an alwndonment of the new principal of limitation of armaments to which the United Stales, with the other great powers, cothmitted her self at the Washington conference Such an about-face in policy he is pre pared to resist with all the power at his command, confident of the support of American public opinion. Interpretation of the naval treaty, a matter discussed in Congress in con nection with the elevation proposition, and economy, a point raised by him self, .are in the President’s opinion minor factors in determining an an swer to the question. The spirit, rather than the letter of the treaty, Mr. Coolidge believes, should be Ainer ha's guide, since technical construc tion of a treaty may be carried so far as to render inoperative any pact be tween nationV With senate and house naval com mittees marking time on the elevation question, showing no disposition to push the matter if the administration disproves It,. the presentation of the President's views is generally accept ed as meaning the end for the time being of any legislation providing for the raising of the guns. The elevation of guns of 13 of the 18 capital ships of the American navy would, in the opinion of .Mr. Coolidge, he hailed the >yorld over as a break ing down of the principle of limita tion of armaments, and the President so intends to inform Congress in re sponding to the Gerry resolution re cently adopted by the senate.
