INSURANCE: ALSO $ OFFERED ID SOLDIERS
 IN LIEU 0F MONEY
Paid-Up Policies to be Offer- ed as One of the Five
 Rewards

Washington, April 2S.-Republican members of the house ways and means committee virtually decided today to include in their soldier re- lief legislation program plan of paid-up insurance, it's value to in- crease annually by compounded in- terest, and on which loans could be obtained from any postoffice.
 With this addition. ex-servce men might elect any one of the five following plans included in the re- publican program:
 A cash bonus of $125 a day for each day of service.
 Aid in buying farm land, to be re- claimed by the government
 Aid in buying city homes.
 Aid in their education.
 Aid in their insurance.
 To popularize their four plans the republicans propose to allow S175 a day for each days service, instead of Sl.25 cash bonus as the basis for computing farm and home aid, loans and the amount of financial aid of educational training
 hS s'NSle3SS pSIIOu Ol SGFNlCe TOT world veterans was 400 days, they said, explaining that under the in- surance plan the average veteran could receive a paid-up insurance policy of SISSY, payable to him in cash at the end of 20 years, or im- mediately to his heirs in event of death
 The loan value of the insurance denoted in their legislation as ad- justed service would not accrue until the end of the third year the plan had been in force, and at that time an ex-service man with q record of 400 days service would be entitled to loan of S551. This would be the cash value of his "cer- tificate" in that time at five per cent, interest compounded annually.
 This plan, if adopted universally by the world war veterans, would cost the government far more than the cash bonus of $1.25 a day, com mitteemen said Estimating that B. 590000 ex-service' persons will be af- fected by the bill, committeeman de- clared that the ultimate cost of the insurance plan, if adopted by all, would be approximately six billion dollars. The cash bonus, it was es. timated. would cost $1,S07 100000 if accepted by all.

for 40 Years, Returns
 Only in Death

Cape Girardeau, Mo-, April 2s.- Altar he had been fugitive for 40 years the body of David Statler was brought here from Oklahoma for bu, ial beside his parents in the little cemetery near Daisy, in Cape Girar- deau County.
 Forty years ago David Statler, as a young fellow, was known as wild. He was viciously inclined, but at- tended the dances and horse races for miles around and drank corn whisky copiously.
 He had chum, David Bollinger, his own age and of the same char acteristics. They attended dances together and always backed each other in trouble.
 They attended dance at farm house in the north end of Cape County. There was plenty of corn whisky and both boys imibibed free ly. An altercation arose over the privilege of dancing with certain rural belle. A fight resulted and Bollinger was killed.
 Gone 40 Years.
 Statler fled from the country and until few weeks ago nothing was heard of him. Then, 40 years after his disappearance, there came a stranger into Cape Girardeau County looking for members of the Statlef family.
 It became known that he was rep resenting David Statler, who, he said, was living in Oklahoma, where he had amassed a fortune, was in wretched health and wanted heirs to whom he might leave his fortune.
 The parents of David Statler died 25 years ago, not knowing if their missing boy was alive or dead. Of his family only one brother sur vived, Jacob Statler, residing at the old time place.
 David Statler, after fleeing from the law 40 years ago had gone into the far west. He wandered from place to place, finally settling in the new state of Oklahoma, where he became wealthy in that State of rap id fortunes.
 Health Broken by Worry.
 He never marrieid. Nor did he mingle much among others, but was a man of quiet and even retiring dis position. But he was well liked and a good citizen. Never once did he write to his family in Missouri. Worry finally broke down his health and then he sent his emissary to the hills of Cape Girardeau County to ask about his parents he had left so long ago.
 He knew the summons of death was near, so he made his preparation to be taken back in deatah to the home he had feared to visit in life for 40 years.
 Friends of his boyhood, his broth CT, and old woman, who as a girl had loved him, awaited the coming of the body, to lay it beside the grave of his mother, who died . quarter century ago.
