WASHINGTON, April s.-con.
gress who have been chatting under
the belief that they were not getting
square deal In the public mind due
70 snap Judgment because the SO.
called ssoldiers' bonus" has not been
passed are endeavoring TO justify
their position while the annual pen.
sion appropriation, bill is under de
bate IN the House.
Former Speaker Joseph G. Cannon.
who is chairman Of the subcommittee
in charge OF the pension bill, in re-
porting this measure for the first
time marsha1led into one startling ar.
ray all the appropriations for the
benefit of the veterans Of all the wars,
showing that Uncle Sam is already
obligated to spend something like
s732, 000, 900 during the next year In
soldier relief work. He emphasizes
this by comparing 1t with the total
OF all expenses of the government tor
the fiscal year 1916 which was 1874.
4s2.sss
The pension bin carries an appro.
priation OF s21402O.000. Representa-
tive Cannon, in speaking on this meas.
ure. pointed out that the Fuller bill
to increase Civil War pensions, and
the Sells bill 10 pension Spanish war
and Philippine instruction veterans
/ both Of which have already passed
the House; would add respectively
s65,000,000 and $12, 100000, making a
total of 1921 $780, 900.
The maintenance oil national sol
diers' homes costs Uncle Sam $5,
$4,000, and state and territorial sol
diers' homes add another million dol
lars.
Representative Cannon and other
prominent members who have made
speeches on the pension bill seem to
think that pension legislation and pen
sion expenditures by any other name
are pension expenditures just the
same, and so they have added to the
pension total certain other large items
for the care Of veterans from the
world war.
The Bureau OF War Risk Insurance
estimates that the amount required
for compensation for death and dis
abliity during the fiscal year 1871, III

examinations, artificial limbs, etc.

DELAWARE STAGES
BITTER STUFF FIGHT
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED
EVERYWHERE IN THE ULTI-
MATE OUTCOME

Friends and foes of woman suf-
frage both claimed points in yester-
days preliminary skirmishes in the
legislature to make Delaware the
thirty-sixth state needed for ratifiea-
ton of the equal suffrage amend
ment to the federal constitution.
Introduction of ratification reso-
luton in both senate and house OPP
ened the actual struggle. Plans to
delay final vote until next week
we're made by the suffragists while
the opponents pressed for decisive
action on Friday. Both sides con-
tinued confident of the outcome and
veteran suffragist campaigners said
the fight transcends that experienced
in any other state.
Advantages claimed by the suffra-
gists were the postponement of a
vote and the refernce of the senate
and house ratification resolutions to
committees regarded as friendly.
Antisuffrage leaders claimed a
severe blow was given the ratifica-
tionists in a round robin signed by
FL house members pledging them
selves to vote against ratification.
Eleven democrats and ten republic
cans were said to have signed.
Today joint session was arranged
to hear delegations of organizations
supporting and fighting the constitu-
tional amendment. Speakers for
the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association and the national
woman's party will be heard at the
morning session. United States

KIMBALLTON MAN
SHOT BY POSSE
WITH SEVERAL OTHER MEN
WAS LYING In WAIT FOR
BURGLARS

Kimballton was the scene of much
excitement last Saturday and Sun
day. Burglars had evidently planned
on robbing one of the banks as was
evidenced by two kits of burglar
tools which were found at the Green
Bay lumber yard on Saturday. The
people of Kimballton anticipated the
return of the burglars SO a posse OF
citizens laid in wait for them Sunday
evening.
About one o'clock Sunday night a
car with four men stopped near the
lumber yard and as they approached
the men on guard fired. The burg
lars became frightened and started
for their automobile, but not until
they had returned fire. In some
manner one of the men on guard
Hans Nielsen, was shot, and 1t is
thought that the wound was inflicted
by members Of his own party, as the
wound is from a shot gun. He is
not in a serious condition however,
and will recover.
In the exchange of shots Il was
thought that one of the burglars
was also hit. 1t was reported that
Sheriff Wilson was at the scene OF
the shooting but that was not cor
rect as he was home in bed at the
time.
Mr.. Wilson went to KimbaIlton on
Saturday and brought the tools to
the sheriff's Office where they were
examined by many people on Sum
day. The burglars had also thrown
away their acetylene tanks and
torches in their effort to escape and
these were found along the roadside
and brought to the sheriff's Office
Monday.
