HIGH SCHOOL
CLOSES SESSION
The Union high school closed last
evening for the session of 1921-'22
and a class of 20 was graduated. The
class was seated upon the beautifullydecorated
stage where the da. s coles
of white and gold predominated and
the class flower, the white daisy wa
profusely us?d; they wore airy, frilly
organdies of white and the unanimous
opinion of the vast audience was that
no community in the country is send
ing out a prett. .ier or finer crowd of
young folk.
Seated uj>on the platform with the
sweet young graduates were the t rustees,
C. T. Murphy, C. C. Sanders
George W. Perrin, L. W. Blackwelder,
Dr. J. W. Wolling of Columbia, Dr. K.
A. Fuller, of Greenwood, the speakt r
ui mi' evening, rroi. uavis jettnes
and Prof. Z. L. Madden.
Professor Jeffries presided and the
program arranged by the class was
carried out. The class song openH
the programand the salutatory was
delivered by Mi so Coline I.awson; the
class essay by Miss Marie Reaves an !
the valedictory by Miss Annie Mae
Alford.
Misses Sarah White and Beryl
Brawley, who won the music medal:;
in the contests this year, furnished
the music.
Dr. E. A. Fuller, of Greenwood, delivered
the principal address and
thrilled his hearers from start to finish;
his advice to the young folk so
soon to take up the battles of life, was
inspiring and coming as it did from
one who had taught them and won
their admiration and regard, it was
particularly timely. Dr. Fuller was
principnl of the high school several
years ago and left this city to attend
the Baptist Theological Seminary i:i
Louisville, Ky., his place in (he hen -U
of Union people is secure and the w 'Icome
which he received last evening
was enough to prove in what high regard
he is held by this community.
The diplomas were presented to the
class by the principal, Prof. Z. L.
Madden, who paid a fine tribute to
the work of the class and expressed
great regret that the ties were so
soon to be severed. Prof. Madden's
address tool^ the nature of a fnre
suLLum. ill. .not return, to the b
school next year.
The Kathleen Arthur medal was
presented by E. B. Smith and wawon
this year by Miss Annie Mae Alford,
who made the highest average
for the year. This is the most coveted
prize offered to a student of the
high school and the contest is always
exceedingly keen. The med^l is given
by Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Arthur ir
memory of their daughter, Kathleen
who passed away in 1012 while a
member of the high school. In the
contest this year two young ladies,
Misses Ooline I,awson and Marie
Reaves, came very close to the winner
and won special mention for thhigh
grade of work accomplished.
This closed the commencement exercises
of the high school and Pre I.
Jeffries announced that school woulJ
open for the 1922-'23 session on September
18 unless otherwise ordered.

Paris, May 27 (By the Associated

FORD'S OFFER
GETS ATTENTION
Washington, May 20. (By the Associated
Press).?A plan for development
of the government's nitrate and
power projects at Muscle Shoals,
Ala., was virtually completed today
by the house military committee. In
many respects it conforms to thr.'
submitted by Henry Ford, but contains
certain modifications of the
Ford proposals which, in the opinion
of some members, makes the scheme
the work cf the committee.
One important alteration of the
Ford offer, it was understood, e! inmates
the steam power plant at
Gorgas, Ala., from the projects
enumerated as belonging properly to
the Muscle Shoals group. Whoevtv
may ultimately acquire control of th
shoals projects, nitrate plants, water
power sites, including the Wilson
dam, the sub-power stations and other
properties, it was said, would not
have possession of the Gorgas plant.
Another committee provision would
compel the purchaser or lesee to
manufacture fertilizer and sell to the
public throughout the period of lh"
contract, whether for 50 or 100 ye ir?.
The minimum production would he
calculated on 40,000 tons of ammonium
nitrates, the estimated maximum
capacity of plant No. 2 per year.
This was represented as being equivalent
to 2,000,000 tons of finished fertilizers
annually.
Chanrman Kahn called representatives
of the bidders into conference
today, advised of the committee's
plan and requested that they inform
the committee as quickly as possible
whether the details were acceptable
to their principals.
Those invited included spokesmen
for Henry Ford, Thomas W. Marti a
president of the Alabama Power company;
Frederic E. Engstrum and Marion
Butler, who represented the of
fer of Mr. Engstrum, and Charles L.
Parsons.
Three requirements had been approved
by the committee which would
have to be accepted by an purchases
lessee or use of the shoals propertie
hofnro tVio entnVYiif ton pnneontrtrl fi
advocate the final agreement, it wa:
aai^. Also it was explained the comrfuttec
^an'eould~be"accented by ant'
individual or interest which complied
with the terms fixed upon and was
not subject to acceptance by the bidders
to the rejection of others who
might come forward with propositions
more favorable to the gvernment.
The three essential requirement
were that the properties at Muscle
Shoals should be subject to the absolute
right and control of the government
at all times for the production
of nitrates or other ammunition
component or munitions of war and
that nitrate plant No. 2 must be kept
available for such usage.
That the bidders obligate themselves
under strict terms to manufacture
and sell fertilizers in time of
peace to the public.
That the Gorgas steam plant be ex
cepted from the properties at Muscle
Shoals which should be developed
collectively.
The Ford and Engsrum proposals,
it was pointed out, were the only two
which provided for development .V
all the projects.

Paris, May 26 (By the Associated
Press).?The committee of international
hankers in session hero this
evening served notice on Germany
that further consideration of $1,000,( 00,000
loan to the German governnvnt
is virtually out ol th<> question
until Germany accepts in full the conditions
of the ultimatum of the reparations
commission, which expires
May 31, and also gives adequate guarantees
that the inflation of Germany's
currency will be stopped immediately.
The committee then decided to
adjourn until May 31 to await the decision
of Germany.
The conclusion of the hankers was
arrived at during their meeting this
afternoon which was attended by Karl
Bergmann as representative of Germany.
Bergmnnn immediately tele
phon.*d the decision of the hankers to
I>erlin.
In separations circles tonight the
\iew was advanced that the action of
the financiers probably would result
in complete acceptance by Germany
of all their conditions. It was fur'her
stated that acquiescence by Germany
in the reparations commission's con
ditions probably would be productive
of a loan of more than $1,000,000,000
since the bankers have determined
that a large loan could be arranged
under these circumstances.
The financiers completed their inquiry
into the state of Germany's
finances at this afternoon's session
and it was explained that they had
reached a point whew Germany's
guarantees must be forthcoming before
the committee could discuss the
details of a loan, the security fo?
it and cany other points.
The fact that the international
hankers have been able to se?. good
possibilities for a loan, provided Germany
subscribes to certain conditions,
is regarded very optimistically in
reparations quarters where it was
pointed out tonight that the German
government could haioi, .' ford to do
otherwise than agree.

davisTattempts :
to leave prison
I
Jack Davis, one of the men who fig- i
ured eonspiculously in the recent mu- 1
t.ny at the penitentiary, was caught
by prison guards early yesterday '
morning just as he was about to cs
cape. Davis had sawn both the inner' !
and outer bars from his cell window <
and would have been out within an
ether minute, prison oflicials believe, '
had he not been discovered. 1
Guard White passed the main cell
building at 1 o'clock and heard a noise 1
front the third tier, where Davis was1
located, lie investigated and found
all the bars had been sawed into.
Other officials were called in and Da- (
vis was removed to another place,
where he is "cooling off." The oris-1
oner also wore shackles and these
had been removed by means of hack
saws.
Several hack saws were found :n
the cell after a close examination,!
Davis at first claiming that he had!
used a spring from his shoe to do the
, work. The saws were found in one
* "-the bunk posts. A long knife, a
apji several other instrumpn^o
w'ere Vou^irt in the rt-Ti. - - ? JDavis,
when questioned closely by
Capt. Clay C. Roberts, admitted he
had ben work'ng on the "job" for
two or three weeks. He offered an
explanation as to the manner in which
he got the saws, but Captain Roberts
was not satisfied with this explanation
and is conducting an investigation.
Davis had a civilian suit in his cell
and was preparing to leave in this
garb. Two weeks ago when the prisoners
mutinied they gave as their excuse
the fact that their civilian clothes
were being removed from the cells.
During the mutiny, when 11 prisoners
were shot, Davis was hit over tb
head after the riot had been quelled.
He abused officers during the riot and
aiicrwarus. rrison oinciuis say wavis
is a "tough bird." He was sent to the
penitentiary from Riehland oounty,
having been convicted of robbing the
residence of Dr. T. I\ Moore, Jr. He
is serving a sentence of 11 years.
In speaking of the attempt of Davis
to escape, Captain Roberts called attention
to the desperate class of men
in the prison. The shiftless, hardened j
crooks are hard to handle, Captain
Roberts said, and the penitentiary
now bas a large number of men of
this class. Captain Roberts said that
the prison guard force was not adequate
and that, more men were needed.
He is very much in hopes that
the legislature will provide for additional
guards next year. "It's an easy
matter to stay on the outside and say
what should be done, but its entirely
different to be on the inside handling
400 men, some of them the worst
criminals in the country," he said.

I cells brought to light a large number

material not supposed to be in the
