NORTH ISLAND, SAN DIEGO. ROW AT SALE OF MUSCLE SHOALS UNIT Secretary of War Weeks Finds He Has Stirred Up Controversy. By H. K. REYNOLDS (I.N.S. Staff Correspondent) SAFE COURSE No Question as to Position Received From Any Trailing Destroyer. NORTH ISLAND, SAN DIEGO, Sept. 25.—All the 30-odd commanding and navigating officers aboard the 14 destroyers comprising the ill-fated 11 squadron were confident that they were steering a safe course on the night they crashed upon the rocks of Point Arguello with the loss of 23 lives and seven ships. This fact was inferentially established today when Lieutenant Commandant Donald Hunter testified that no question as to position or course steered was received from any of the trailing destroyers. Navy regulations he said, obligate the navigator of a squadron unit to notify a flagship in case he entertains any doubt regarding the ship's bearings. The squadron was off its course 8 miles in shoreward and was miles to the rearward of Point their dead reckoning showed the vessels to be. The wide errors in reckoning, it is said, may have been due to a strong temporary current set up by the Japanese tidal wave. Sailor Plieron, of the Delphy, who, crazed with fear, lost his life after being bound to a mast and abandoned, was so treated from prime necessity of the moment, Commander Hunter testified. In direct contradiction to testimony given by Point Arguello radio station operatives, Lieutenant Commander Donald T. Hunter, commander of the flagship Delphy, declared that a wireless compass bearing report was received from the station at 8:35 p.m. on the evening of the disaster which caused the loss of 23 lives and several destroyers, which showed the doomed squadron to be south of Arguello. "I personally, with the two radio chiefs on board, received this southward bearing," testified Hunter. "It coincided with our dead reckoning and confirmed our belief that we were squarely in the mouth of the Santa Barbara Channel." "There has been a great deal of conflicting testimony regarding this bearing which does not appear on this log of the Arguello station and which has been denied by the entire land station personnel." "I wish, however, to state that three days after the wreck I saw a typewritten record of the disputed Secretary of War Weeks Finds He Has Stirred Up Controversy. By H. K. REYNOLDS (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Secretary of War Weeks found out this afternoon that he had stirred up a bitter row both in and out of congress in approving the dissolution of the great Muscle Shoals power and nitrate project by selling the Gorgas steam plant to the Alabama Power Co. Instead of to Henry Ford. Representative William B. Olsen, Alabama, made a special trip to the war department to tell Secretary Weeks that there was no reason why the government should have disposed of the Gorgas plant at this time while the American Farm Bureau Federation declared in a formal statement that the sale of the property to private interests meant the exploitation of the public through the sale of fertilizer. The waterpower at Muscle Shoals will continue to be used for the manufacture of electricity, both by the government and by private corporations; and the nitrate plants will be made ready to function when needed, but it was the opinion of war department officials that Henry Ford had abandoned his ambitious plans for leasing the Alabama property and turning it into the greatest power project in the world. Elimination of the Gorgas steam plant and transmission lines from the Muscle Shoals system through their sale to the Alabama Power Co. not only marks the first step in the dissolution of this war time industrial project, but it takes out the government's hands one of the most complete units of the vast properties which Ford wanted to buy for $5,000,000. When the government learned that the Alabama Power Co. proposed to foreclose its option on the Gorgas plant, Ford was advised of the situation and invited to submit a new bid for the Muscle Shoals property minus the Gorgas plant. To enable Ford's engineers to revise the manufacturers' original offer, the power company agreed to an extension of its option, but no reply was received from Ford. There was nothing else then for Secretary of War Weeks to do but sell the plant and transmission lines in accordance with the option given at the time the plant was built.

It remains that German people will take toward the settles and the question arises, "Will the dearest President out of the German White House with a Red or monarchist dictatorship? INDIVIDUALS GAIT OUTFALL The "Big Four"—Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana—will entertain no proposals from other cities desiring to connect with the joint outfall sewer until completed, it was decided last evening at a meeting of officials from the quartet of cities at Santa Ana. As the communities considering such service will hardly be ready before the sewer is completed, the delay will permit better knowledge of cost and capacity, it was agreed. It was also decided by last night's conference that no individual nor private corporation would be permitted to hook up with the sewer. Only municipalities and sanitary districts will be considered, and the many individual ranchers who have been appealing for the service will be compelled to organize. The conference instructed Santa Ana council to let contract for chiefs on board, received this southward bearing," testified Hunter. "It coincided with our dead reckoning and confirmed our belief that we were squarely in the mouth of the Santa Barbara Channel. "There has been a great deal of conflicting testimony regarding this hearing which does not appear on the log of the Arguello station and which has been denied by the entire land station personnel. "I wish, however, to state that three days after the wreck I saw a typewritten record of the disputed bearing in the office of Lieut. Commander Ashley, superintendent of communications at San Diego, and that Lieut. Commander Wild on the telephone was told of the record on the same day by Commander Ashley's office."

B. Herman has added to her treasures a letter sent via Pony Express dated St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 9:30, 31, and received in San Francisco, the end of the route, Sept. 12. The letter which was considerably damaged, apparently by moisture, was enclosed in a present day government envelope and forwarded to Mrs. Herman Sept. 15. The envelope was worn entirely through on three sides and the stamp, a modern one, is merely a scrap. It was written by a friend of years standing, and explains she was given the privilege of sending it via Pony express, just as it was done 60 years ago. The dating stamp reads "via Pany Express, Aug. 31, 1923, a.m." The instruction, "pony express" was indicated by the writer in the lower left hand corner. From the contents of the letter St. Joseph was celebrating the event with an exposition given as in the old days, when log cabins and Indians were the greatest problems of the pioneer's life. As featured in the newspapers the pony and rider picked up his sack in St. Joseph postoffice at 9:30 a.m., Aug. 31, and loped away on the cross-country journey with a rousing send-off by the citizens' Relays along the line brought the mail sack safely to San Francisco in 12 days. Enclosed with Mrs. Herman's letter was a note from the postal department in San Francisco explaining that "the enclosed piece of mail was damaged by abrasion while in transit by Pony Express," and signed by James F. Power, postmaster. will hardly be ready before the sewer plant, Ford was advised of the situation and invited to submit a new bid for the Muscle Shoals property minus the Gorgas plant. To enable Ford's engineers to revise the manufacturers' original offer, the power company agreed to an extension of its option, but no reply was received from Ford. There was nothing else then for Secretary of War Weeks to do but sell the plant and transmission lines in accordance with the option given at the time the plant was built. This was done with the understanding that Ford does not want the Muscle Shoals property without the Gorgas power plant. There was some speculation here today as to the political effect of Henry Ford's apparent loss of interest in the development of Muscle Shoals, as much of the Ford-for-president talk had its basis in this widely advertised plans of the Detroit manufacturer to revitalize the industrial south and to provide cheap fertilizer for American farmers. The Muscle Shoals property cost the United States approximately $125,000,000 and the Ford offer to buy all of it for $4,000,000 was op- (Continued on Page Two) CHINA ONLY MEETS DEMANDS PARTIALLY PEKING, Sept. 25. — The demands of the foreign powers upon the Chinese government as a result of the Lincheng bandit outage are only partially met in handed to the powers to office.
