WATSON Is FOE TO
BONUS TO SOLDIERS
Seeks to Exert Influence Over
Legislation in Lower
House.
BY JOIN j. CARsoN.

WASHINGTON. May IS. - Sen
James Z. Watson. Of Indiana, is
counted upon by opponents Of sol
der bonus legislation 90 see that no
bill gets through the senate az this
session. That the senate viii not
get a vote on the bin also seems TO
be assured. according to opponents
OF the legislation. And the answer
given by opponents is that Sen
Watson. acting chairman Of the SEN
ate hnance committee, viii not per
init the legislation to go through.
How serious Watson's opposition
Is regarded by the friends of the
bonus legislation is shown by the
fact that within the last few days
house members who have fought
earnestly for the legislation have
called upon senator's also regarded
as friendly, 20 start "a bOmbardment
of Watson and his friends
Blow them out Of the water now

OF warning which went from the
house TO certain senators. And the
word which came back from the

be started at the proper time and
that watson and his friends would
not rest easy under &c.
VIII Tell II 10 Public.
At the same time il is known that
proponents OF bonus legislation 10
the house are prepared 20 make
public statement in which the
country Will be advised why the leg
fslation was not adopted at this scs-
sion and In which certain persons
are &c be called by name. The per-
sons are understood To be some re-
publican house leaders and also
some re publican senators. among
them Sen Watson.
The bin now proposed to be Lass-
ed in the house will provide that
the revenue shall be obtained
through taxation OF real estate
transfers. taxation Of stock exchange
transfers, taxation OF higher in
comes and a tax on tobacco.
Tax on Sales
II is understood in the house that
Sen. Watson Is determined that any
bonus legislation shall provide that
only through "a sales tax shall the
revenue be obtained. Il Is said he
has sent word 10 the house that any
house bill providing other forms OF
taxation viii be amended i'm the
senate 70 provide for a sales tax.
such action on the part Of Wat
son would sound the death knell Of
the bonus bill. He might be sue
Cessful IN getting a sales tax
through the senate. but the house
would probably not accept it. Hence
q deadlock would ensue.
All these facts are plain TO those
who have been endeavoring to get
the bonus legislation adopted. 1t
may be assumed now that Watson
knows just how the bill can be de
feated. either by delaying action
through lengthy committee hear
ings. by talking a. 20 death in the
senate or by amending IL in such
form that Il will be rejected by
the house.
Watson. II ne adopts any one Of
these courses, viii be subjected to
bitter condemnation from friends q
the bonus in the house.

Sweeney Gets Promotion
One police captain who was thought

the Enrlght administration was made
an acting Inspector in the shuttle. He
is John F. Sweeney. While Arthur
Woods was Police Commissioner Cap

self in the Fifth Street Police Pre-
cinct, not only maintaining order but
also winning the esteem of the resi-
dents of his bailwick particularly OF
the boys who heretofore had been {
thorn in the side Of the police.
Captain Sweeney was transferred BY
Commissioner Enright from Fifth
Street to the Alexander Avenue station
IN the Bronx and at the time the shift
was taken to mean that Enright dis
approved of his methods in his ole

the rank of acting inspector to Sweeney
however. He remains in the Bronx
