French Authorities Claim Thay Will
Detain American Financier Until
Embassy Receives Extradition.
Havre. —French police officials, fol
lowing a conference with American
Consul General Ingraham, allowed
Charles W. Morse to land here upon
his arrival from New York on the
steamer Paris when the American
shipbuilder agreed to return on the
same Bhip next Monday, provided he
was not arrested.
Before the ship docked, Mr. Morse,
who had heard his presence in Amer
ica was desired by Federal authori
ties investigating his shipbuilding con
tracts during the war, had expressed
his willingness to return voluntarily,
and this request was complied with
when he had reassured the French
officials that he would not oppose re
turning immediately to America If he
were not placed under arrest.
Morse took up quarters In the Con
tinental Hotel here escorted by French
Inspector Aigouy, and he will remain
there until the Paris is ready to sail.
"I am willing to return to America
by the first boat and I have so wired
the United States District attorney,"
he told the correspondent on board
the Paris.
"I am over here because of Ill
health," he added, "but I am willing
to return even at the expense of Jeo
pardlzing my life."
Police Commissioner Fabinl, who
was enjoying luncheon In the dining
rooms of the Paris as a guest of Mr.
Morse, told the correspondent that he
would take Mr. Morse ashore and de
liver him to the American counsel
general.
The Havre police were Instructed
by the secret service of the French
minister of Interior to arrest Charles
W. Morse, American shipbuilder and
financier, as soon as he landed fiom
the liner Paris. The Instructions were
sent by telephone.
The French police acted upon ' the
request of the American embassy,
which received belated Instructions
to obtain the arrest and detention of
Morse. The heads of the secret seV
vice here are not certain whether
the Havre police received instructions
in time to apprehend Mr." Morse, but
they are* relying upon the American
newspaper men In Havre to shadow
him until the police arrive. The
French authorities say they will hold
the American financier until the em
bassy receives papers formally' de
manding his extradition.
It wus impossible for an American
warship to intercept the Paris, as
there are no American vessels in
French or British ports, all on this side

II BUSINESS WOMAN
FOR BUSINESS JOB
MARRIED WOMAN SHOULD KEEP
HERBELF INFORMED ON ALU
PUBLIC QUEBTIONB.
NEW YORK COUNTY REGISTER
Mlaa Anna Mathews Elected to the
Highest-Balcrled Office a Woman
Ever Held In This Country.
New York. —To be of the greatest
service to her community and her
country, the married woman should
keep herself Informed on questions
of public interest and never allow
herself to become Indifferent to pol
itics.
This was the opinion of Miss Anne
Mathews, democrat, elected to the
highest-salaried office a woman has
ever held In this country. She was the
successful candidate In New York
county for the office of register, a post
paying $12,000 a year. The salary of
Alice Robertson, congresswoman from
Oklahoma, is only'J7,6oo a year.
Miss Mathews ran on a platform
the chief plank of which called for "a
business woman *for a business Job."
She will admit no sex disqualifications
for political positions but has no pa
tience with the society dilettanti .that
have Invaded the realm of women's
politics. "The butterfly woman is use
less in politics," she said.
The office of register is not pictur
esque. tyiss Mathews will have juris
diction over a (orce of 144 workers,
the majority of whom are men. The
register's office records transactions
in real estate and other activities
requiring official record, and keeps a
file of notaries public signatures.
"I do not propose to change the pol
icies now being followed in the office,"
she explained.
"Women have the inherent ability
which fits them to discharge any pub
lic function as well as men can do It.
Frequently they are handicapped by
lack of business experience. Women
since the beginning of time have been
keeping the home and raising the chil
dren, while irien have had unlimited
opportunity to engage in civic affairs.
A business training is a great asset
for any public officer —man or woman.
The person who has been employed
understands best how to give the peo
ple full value for their money and
how to get the greatest quantity and
best quality of work from those under
him.
"People who are compelled to work,
especially if they like their vocation,
are the ideal public officials. I be
lieve there arc a great many possi
bilities for the married woman in po
litical roles—the wonjan who has
raised children that have gone their
way, who retains her youthful enthu
siasm, but, after years is Isolated do
mestically, Is out of touch with cur
rent events. Many medical men told
that the female brain, under such
circumstances, retrogresses beyond re
covery. This theory Is ridiculous. I
can't refute It scientifically, but I
know many women who have 'come
back' after raising families. Children
should broaden a woman, never cramp
her. Of course, the mind becomes
flabby through disuse, but the married
woman's nental sluggishness is no
greater than that which afflicts any
one after years of mind inerta."

Hist t»l»[ SUPERVISION
"Lack of Buccms In Some Departments
Should Not be Considered Proof
of Eaaentiai Incapacity."
Washington—The Philippine Islands
should remain In their "present gen
eral status" until the people there
"have had time to absorb and thor
oughly master the power already in
their hands," former Major General
Leonard Wood, now Governor Gen
eral, and W. Cameron Forbes, former
Governor General, say in their reports
to President Harding, based on their
six months' study of conditions In the
islands.
"We are convinced," they say, "that
it would be a betrayal of the Philip
pine people, a misfortune to the Amer
ican pAople, a distinct step backward
in the path of progress and discredi
table neglect of our relationship there
without giving the Filipinos the best
chance possible to have an orderly
and permanently stable government.
"We feel that with all their many
excellent qualities, the experience of
the past eight years, during
they have had practically autonomy,
has Ljt been such as to Justify the
people of the United States in relin
quishing supervision of the govern
ment of the Philippine Islands, with
drawing their army and navy and
leaving the islands a prey to any pow
erful nation covering their rich soil
and potential commercial advantages."
These observations of the investi
gators are contained in the "general
conclusions" and "recommendations"
made in the report, which was made
public. The complete report, cover.
Ing 100 typewritten pages, will be
made public later. The "general con
clusions" are as follows:
"We find the people happy, peace
ful and In the main prosperous and
keenly appreciative of the benefits of
American rule.
"We find everywhere among the
Christian Filipinos the desire for in
dependence generally under the pro
tection of the United States.
"We find a general failure to ap
preciate the fact that independence
under the protection of another na
tion is not true Independence.
"We find that the government is
not reasonably free from these under
lying causes which result in the de
struction of government.
"We find that the are not
organized economically nor' from the
standpoint of national defense to
maintain an independent govern
ment.
"We find that the legislative cham
bers are conducted with dignity and
decorum and are composed of repre
sentative men.
"We find that the lack of success in
certain departments should not be con
sidered proof of essential incapacity
on the part of Filipinos, but rather as
indicating lack of experience and op
portunity and especially lack of In
spection.

HENRY FORD JALKS
OF MUSCLE SHOALS
INSIDE PLANS ARE OUTLINED
FOR THE TAKING OVER OF
GREAT NITRATE PLANT.
ENERBY UNIT ISSUE PRUPQSED
"The Government. First Gave Credit
and Then Must Pay For Uaa of
What It Gave." .
Florence, Ala. —Henry Ford, for the
first time, gave the Inside story of his
epochal plan to take over from the
government the gigantic nitrate plants
at Muscle Shoals.
Mr. Ford expects through his op
eration of the war plants to point the
way to the rest of the world for per
manent peace. This is how he will
do it, provided the government sells
him the properties.
Instead Of the government lssuirg
bonds for the $30,000,000 still needed
to complete the nitrate plants" Mr.
Ford proposes that congress author
ize an issue of 1,500,000 20-dollar
bills for a new form of currency.
This currency would not be based
on gold or silver or any recognized
monetary unit. It would be based on
a unit of energy which would be fig
ured out and which would be equiva
lent to one dollar. This energy money
would not bear interest. It would
pass as readily as bills backed by the
gold reserve in the treasury. It
would be backed by the imperishable
and inexhaustible energy of the Ten
nessee river.
"Engineers say it will take thirty
million more to finish the Job," Mr.
Ford said, "but congress is economical
and doesn't want to tax the people for
it. The United States, the greatest
government in the world, is forced to
go out to borrow a pesky thirty mil
lion dollars as the end of thirty years.
The government not only has to pay
back the thirty million but it has to
pay 120 per cent interest, literally has
to pay back $66,000,000 for the use of
$30,000,000 for thirty years and all the
time it is the government's own money
—the money sellers never created it,
they got it from the government orig
inally.
"The government first gave credit
and then must pay for the use of
what it gave. Think of It! Could any
thing be more childish?"
