New Rumblings Heard Against Refunding Plan Final Draft of Proposal Sent to Harding — Early Ac tion in Congress Is Predicted. Washington, Feb. 5.—The plan for funding Great Britain's wartime debt to the i'nited Stales was turned over to President Harding by the debt funding commission. Accom panying the plan was a statement by the commission suggesting methods of congressional action translating tho results of the commission's negotia tions into law. The statement was not made public. While the commission, in a pro tracted conference, was formulating its views for transmission to tho president, new rumblings of opposi tion to the plan were heard in both the house and senate. At the same time, Senator Bodge of Massachusetts the republican leader in the senate, visited the White House to discuss the situation with President Harding and Representative Mondell of Wyom ing, the house republican leader, con ferred with Representative Burton of Ohio, a member of the funding com mission. as to ways and means of handling the settlement leg.slation in the house. Present indications are for the presi dent to send the settlement Alan, to gether with a brief message concern ing it, to congress early next week, but this baa not been definitely de termined. The administration ap pears confident that it can muster all the strength necessary to bring action on the legislation before tho end of the present session, March 3. but Mr. Harding is represented as desiring to have everything in ad vance that will speed a final settle ment. Increasing evidence developed to day that house democrats planned to oppose the Interest rates contained in the settlement plan on the grounds Lhac they constituted a discrimina tion. Several of them declared that the rate* proposed to be applied to ihe British debt were materially lower than the United States pays on its own obligations. Members of the funding commis sion were said to have talked frankly among themselves as tothe obstacles to be overcome In pushing the neces sary legislation through congress. It was gellerally agreed, it was said, that complicated legislation should be avoided and it appeared that the rec ommendation* to the president urged that a complete change of the law be avoided at this time. Administration officials, although admitting that rocks lay in the path ( of the debt legislation, urged in sistently that the plan agreed upon and accepted by Great Britain was | just and right and predicted that it would be accepted. The pointed out,1 also, that a settlement with Great ; Britain would he the first move to ward breaking down what the British delegation to the funding conference had been described as a vicious cycle of world debt and that in fixing the method* of payment on one war debt, a distinct contribution would be made toward restoring the world economic balance. It was intimated that tho president would todch on this phase of the settlement in his message to congress.

House Action on Muscle Shoals Is a Possibility » If Offer Is Accepted by House It Will Meet Snag in Sen ate — Heflin Meets Worthy Foeman. By GEORGE F. AI THIKK Washington Onrrrsponilent Ttir Omalia Boo. Washington, Feb. 4. — (Special.)— Henry Ford and his offer for Muscle Shoals was scored in the house, where Chairman Madden of the house ap propriations committee has gone on tecord favoring acceptance of the proposition. The attitude of the ap propriations conJmlttee chairman, a powerful factor in house legislation, means the subject will be given care ful and possibly favorable considera tion in the house this session. It may pass there, but it will be blocked In the senate in the upper body. Senator Norris of Nebraska is on watch and guard. He believes the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals is a monstrosity and in his adverse report said that Mr. Ford not only offered nothing for the prop erty but would be paid to take It over The situation in the senate offers no chance for consideration, either fa vorable or otherwise, although advan tage may be taken of it to clutter up proceedings to hold up action on ship subsidy. With only a few weeks to 80, the senate will not have time to much more than keep on talking, a task which It performs Incomparably as evidenced by the time devoted re cently to the differences preclptated by Senator Heflin of Alabama. Here tofore, senators have regarded Hef lln, chief supporter of the Ford Muscle Shoals offer, as a senate in stitution, not to be taken too serious ly. But Couzens of Michigan, a new senator who takes things seriously, responded to the Heflin challenge, and when ho got through, it was evident the Alabaman had run up against somebody that at least he could not bluff. Editor Talks to Omaha Chemists Ur. H. E. Howe Says Chem istry Forms Essential Part of Everyday Life. The Omaha section of the American Chemical society gave a dinner at the University club for Dr. Harrison E. Howe, Washington, edi tor Of the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, and treas urer of the Federated American En gineering Societies.

"Chemistry,” said the editor -chem ist, "Is a part of our life. When a man uses ink or paper, treads the street in leather shoes, wears n silk shirt, eats bread, he is facing actual ities which would not exist In their present form without chemistry.” The next regular meeting of the Omaha section will be held Tuesday evening at the Nebraska university medical school, where the chemical staff has arranged a program illus trating the work of I,nUls Pasteur. The meeting will also he the eenisn nlal anniversary of the death of the world-famous chemist. i __ Sholiest Will Filml. Warsaw, fnd .

Army Intelligence Bureau Scored by 4/ Alabama Democrat Huddleston Says at Present Rate Congressional Com mittees Will Soon Be Under Supervision. Washington. Feb. 4.—Activities of the intelligence department of the army were attacked in the house by Representative Huddleston, democrat, Alabama, who charged that if present methods were continued congressional committees would soon be under sur veillance. Mr. Huddleston read a newspaper article dealing with political and other conditions in the northwest, which quoted a letter purporting to have been written to sheriffs and other peace officers by Lieut. W. D. Xjong of Vancouver barracks, Washington. The letter mentioned, among others, the American Federation of Labor certain railroad unions, a world war veterans’ organization and the I. W. W. This typified the military mind, said Mr. Huddleston, adding that the supposed congress would be next In the “beneficent protection of the War department." Representative Blanton, democrat, Texas, replying to Mr. Huddleston, said if he were secretary of war he ! “would not stop until this young lieu tenant had been made a brigadier general." Conditions in the northwest, Mr. Blanton said, had developed a situa j tion where a man running for office ran either as a “radical" or a "con servative. “Lieutenant Long, Mr. Blanton contended, should be com mended for keeping his eyes open to anything which might threaten the American theory of government. Declaring the American Federation of Labor and the big four railroad brotherhoods contained some of the most patriotic men In the country. Representative IJneberger, republi can, California, asked Mr. Blanton If he Included them In his remarks. The Texas representative replied that Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, hail condemned the Harrison (Ark 1 lynch ings of a railroad worker, but had failed to ask for punishment of those engaged in the killings at Herrin, 111. He added, however, that It might have been an "inadvertent act" which caused the labor organization to be Included in the list and that he was concerned mostly with the activities of the I. W. W. Architects Plan Omaha Building Chicago Firm Retained to De sign Structure at Six teenth and Howard. Chester A. and Raymond C. Cook. Chicago capitalists, who will erect a new building on the south side of Howard street from Sixteenth to Sev enteenth street this year, have en gaged Holabird and Roche, Chicago architects, to make plans for their1 building. These architects drew the plans for the City National Bank building and the Woodmen of the World building. The architects have engaged James Black and company to make borings on the site for the foundation depth. E. A. Renwick of the architects' firm was in Omaha last week Inspect ing the site and obtaining various other data necessary to making plana for the building. Mr. Renwick en gaged the Rohrbough Engineering company to represent the architects In Omaha. Holabird and Roche have erected successful buildings on similar loca tlons In other cities, according to the Cooks, who are centering with them dally in Chicago, relative to the new building. All tenants in tlie old buildings on this site, comprising the entire north half of the block, have main- arrange ments to move by March 1, so that the old buildings may be wrecked.

Tell me —and believe that I am not blind— is not Captain Lewis going into the Missouri country in order to forget a certain woman? And do we not know, my daughter, who that woman is?" Still her downcast eye gave him no reply. "Meriwether Lewis yonder among the savages is a failure. Meriwether Lewis with me is second only to the vice-regent of the Louisiana country. There is no reason, my dear, why, for the sake of your father, for the sake of yourself, and for the sake of that young man yonder, you should not go to him immediately and carry I my message," t "Could It be possible." she said at length, half musing, "that I. who made Captain Lewis so unhappy, could aid a man like him to reach a higher and better place in life? Could I save him from himself—and from myself”" CHAPTER III. • Tlie Partin;. Meriwether Lewis was taking his leave of Thomas Jefferson at day break. "Are your men ready, you; sup plies gathered toget'ier?" arUed the president. "The rendezvous ia at Harper's Ferry, up the river. The wagons with the supplies are ready there. I will take boat from here myself with a few of the rnen. Not later than tomorrow afternoon I promise that wo will be on our way." There was one look, one hand clasp. The two men parted: nor did they meet again for years. The sun still was young when Meri wether Lewis descended the steps of the executive mansion. Ho did not at first hear the gallop of hoofs on the street behind him ns at last, a mile or more from the White House gate, he turned toward the river front. But he paused, something ap pealing to the strange sixth sense of the hunter, and turned. A rider, a mounted servant, was beckoning to Hm. Behind the horseman, driven at a stiff gait, came a carriage which seemed to have but a single occupant. Captain J-ewis halted, gazed, then ) astened forward, hat In his hand. "Mrs. Alston!" he exclaimed, as the carriage came up' "Why are you here’ I* there any news?" "My father. Mr Merry, the Span ish minister, have watched the plan ning of this expedition. Why fly in the face of Providence? That is what my father says Me says that coun try' can never be of benefit to our Cnion—that no new states can lie made from it. Me says the people will pass down the Mississippi river, but not heyond It: that it Is the ! natural line of our expansion." "You speak well! Go on.” ' There fa little more to tell," said she. "These gentlemen have made certain plans of which Thomas Jef ferson himself knows that this pur chase from Napoleon cannot be made under the Constitution of the l.'nlted States Me beer ught me to Induce you. if T could, either to abandon your exjreditlon wholly as soon as you honorably might do so or to go on with It only to such point as will prove It unfeasible nnd Impracticable.

With men such as these, that means a swift future of success for one—for one—whom 1 shall always cherish warmly In my heart.” The color was full in her fare.

"I have listen ed long enough to have my curiosity aroused. I shall have somewhat to ponder—on the trail to the west.” Then you mean that you will go?" ” Ves!" "Think you that T would have come here for any other man?" she demanded. "Think you that I would ask of you anything to my own dis honor. or to your dishonor? But noW you do not listen. You will not come back—even for me!" Iu answer he simply bent and kissed her linnd, stepped from the carriage, raised his hat. Yet ho hesitated for half an instant and turned hack. "Theodosia,” said he, "it is hard for me not to do anything you ask of me—you do not know how hard; but surely you understand that I am a soldier and arn under orders. I have no option. It seems to me that the plans of your father and his friends be placed at once before Mr. Jefferson. It is strange they sent you, a woman, as their messenger. You have done all that a woman could. So other woman in the world could have done as much with me. But—my men are waiting for me." This time he did not turn bark I again. Col. Burr's carriage returned more dejected than it had come. It was a dejected occupant who at last made her way, still at an early hour, to ; the door of her father's house. Burr , met her at the door. His keen eye read the answer at once. "You have failed:" said he. She raised her dark eyes to his, herself silent, mournful. “What did he say?" demanded i Burr. "Said he 'as under orders—said you should »o to Mr. Jefferson with your plan—said Mr. Jefferson alone could stop him." "Listen, my daughter.” said Burr at length. In his eye a light that she never had known before. "You must see that man again, and bring him back Into our camp! We need him. Without him I cannot handle Merry, and without Merry I cannot handle Yrujo. Without them my plan Is doomed. If it fails, your husband has lost fifty thousand dollars and all the moneys to which he is pledged beyond that. You and 1 will be bankrupt— penniless upon the streets, do you hear’—unless you bring that man back. Granted that all goes well. It means success and future honor and power for you and me—and him. He must oome back! That expedition must not go beyond the Mississippi. You ask me what to tell him? Ask him to return to us and opportunity. Ask him to come hark to Theodosia Burr and happiness—do you under stand!" "Kir." said his daughter. "I think— I think I do not understand'" He seemed not to hear her—or to toss her answer aside. "You must try again." said he. "and with the right weapons—the old ones, my dear —the old ones of a woman: CHAPTER IV. Westward. Meriwether Lewis, having put be hind him one set of duties now ad dressed himself to another, and did so with care and thoroughness A few ut his men. a part of his out fitting, he found already assembled at Harper's Kerry, up the Potomac. In two days they were or their way across the Alleghanles. A few days more of steady travel sufficed to bring them to Pittsburg. At Pitts burg Capt. Lewis was to' build his boats, to complete the details of his equipment, to take on additional men for his party—now to be officially styled the Volunteer* for the Discov ery of the West. He lost not time in urging forward the necessary work. Now. too. he had news—good news fortunate news. Joyous news—none less than the long delayed answer of his friend. Capt. William Clark, to bis proposal that he should associate himself sa co-leader with the Y nlun leers for the Discovery of the West William Clark's letter, eagerly ac cepting. carried joy to the heart of Meriwether Lewis. Clark w«s to meet him at the falls of the Ohio, and he counseled haste. One morning while engaged In hi* duties of supervising the work in progress at the shipyard, Lewis had his attention attracted to a youth of some 17 or 1* years, apparently too timid to accost him. "What is It. my son?" said he. The boy advanced, smiling. "Tou do not know me. sir. My name is George Shanon. I used to' know you when you were stationel here with the army. I was a boy then I want to g<> along with you, captain. ” "Very well, George," said Lewis. "If your parents consent, you shall go with me." Strangely enough, as. the future proved, were the fortunes of these tw-o to Intermingle. Krom the first. Shannon attached himself to his captain almost In the capacity of personal attendant. At last the great bateau lay ready, launched from the docks and moored alongside the wharf. It had received a part of its cargo, and soon all was In readiness for the start. I«ew-ia sat down to pen a last letter to hls chief, lie w/rote In the little office-room of the Inn where he was stopping, and for a time he did not note the pres ence of young Shannon, who stood, as usual, silent until hls leader might address him. “Wliat is It. Georg*1?” he asked at length. looking up. "Some one waiting to see you. sir— ! they are In the parlor. She asked me to come for you.” "She? Who Is she?” "I don’t know sir. She spoke to , her father. They are In the room Just across the hall, sir." The face of Meriwether Lewis was pale when presently he opened the door leading to the apartment which had been indicated. He knew that hi* callers must be Aaron Burr and hls daughter, Mrs. Alston. Theodosia Alston arose from the spot where she sat In the deeper shadows, and came forward to him. He met her, hls hands outstretched, hls pulse leaping eagerly. He dread ed, yet rejoiced. “Why are you here?” he asked at length. "My father and I are on a Journey down the river to visit Mr. Blenner basset on his Island." “Why Is it that you always come to torment me the mere? Anothsf day and i should have been gone”’ "Torment you, air?” "You rebuke me properly. I pre sume I should have courage to meet you alwaya—to apeak with you—to look Into your e; ea—to take your bands In mine. But I find it hard, terribly hard.'"* "You find it hard! Do you think thla Is not hard for me alao?” "These are atrange worda. What la your motive? What la It that you plan? Why should you seek to atop me when T am trying to blot your face out of my mind? Strange labor Is that—to try to forget what I hold most dear!” "You shall not leave my face be hind you. Captain Lewis! ’ she said suddenly. "What do you mean. Theodosia? What la ft?" "You shall see me every night under the stars, Meriwether Lewis. I will not let you go. I will not relin quish you!” He turned swiftly toward her, but paused aa if caught back by some mighty hand. "What is it? ’ he said once more, half in a whisper. "What do you mean? Would you ruin me?” No! To the contrary, shall I allow you to lui3ten into the usual ruin of a man? *If you go yonder, what w-ill be the fate of Meriwether Lewis? t-hall I let you go down in savagery? h. If I thought I were relinquishing you to that this would be a heavy day for me! ’ "Can y ou fancy what all thla mear.a me?" he broke out hoarsely. "Yes. I can fancy. And what for me? So much my feeling for you has been—oh, call it what you like_ S') much have I wished so much hare I planned for your future in return for what you have given me—ah. I do r.ot dare tell you! I could not dare come here If I did not know t.-.at I was never to see or speak you again. It tears my heart from my bosom that I must sav these things to you.
