mously refused to give it's Endorsement

WILL VETO BONUS
Secretary Houston Says Treas
ury Cannot Stand Drain.
Intimates President Wilson Is
Against the Plan.

Washington, May 19.-Secretary
Houston of the treasury in a letter
today to Chairman Fordney of the
house ways and means committee de-
clared his opposition to any soldier
bonus legislation, however financed"
The secretary said it would be
highly unfortunate" to place any new
financial obligations on the treasury
and suggested that it would be wise
for congress to seek out additional
sources of revenue to meet current
government expenses.
The letter indicates, Democrats on
the committee believe, that President
Wilson. because of the treasury condi-
ton. will veto any soldier bonus bill.
II think it would be highly unfor-
tunate for any new obligations to be
placed upon the treasury thru the en-
actment of the bonus proposal in any
form, however financed" Houston
wrote.
The letter was in reply to a COM
munication of Representative Ford
ney, asking for the treasury opinion on
the proposal of Representative Rainey.
Illinois. and Representative johnson,
South Dakota, for an eighty per cent
retroactive levy on war profits.
Warning of the condition of the
treasury, Houston said that within
three years government obligations
represented by victory notes. treasury
certificates and war savings stamps
to the extent of eight billion dollars
will fall due.

Chicago. May 19.-The United

ly refused to hear petitions for in
creased wages presented by John
Grunau, president of the Chicago
Yardmen's association, and officers OF
other organizat ations which went on
strike recently in defiance of orders
from national railroad brotherhoods
The boards ruling means that the
strikers only recourse is to return to
work and await a decision on the de-
mands of more than 100000 railroad
employees for an annual increase OF
one billion dollars.
Strikers demands are included in
the demands presented by the Switch
mems Union of North America which
the board has under consideration.
1T must be thoroly understood that
the board cannot and will not under
take to hear any disputes or contro-
versies except those which it is au-
and will not hear applications OF
parties who are acting in disregard ot
, the law and who are not complying

BANKER MISSING
Jaedicke Not Heard From Since
Leaving Hanover.
No IrreguIarity in His Institu-
tiOn Found Yet.

August Jaedicke, president and prin-
cipal stockholder of the Hanover State
bank, has not returned to his home
since he left Hanover Monday morn
ing. State bank examiners today are
working on the books of the bank
which is believed by prominent bank
ers to be in excellent condition.
Neither Mrs. Jaedicke nor state bank
officials have heard from the Hanover
man since he left home.
Examiners at the Hanover bank had
not reported to Commissioner Wilson
this afternoon. So far as known there
is no shortage or irregularity con-
nected with the institution. 1t Is the
belief of bankers that Jaedicke became
alarmed at the bulk of rediscounts
contained in his recent report to the
state department and is seeking to
reduce this paper. He is rated as one
of the most successful small town
bankers in the state and is expected
to return to his home in a few days.

Lyndon, May 19.-The trial of Rufe

C. Heller until the June term, on
strength of representation made by
| the defense that Mrs. Loretta Fowler
of Topeka, now an inmate of the state
hospital for the insane at Topeka.
should be a material witness in the
case. Mrs. Fowler cannot become a
witness until she is pronounced as
cured at the state hospital.
The original motion of the defense
based on its request for continuance to
permit renewal of the search of Sam
| Riggs of Texas" was held as insuffi-
/ cient for continuance, and then the
/ defense presented the Mrs. Fowler af-

BANKS AND BUYERS
FORCE PRICE BREAK
General Cut in Cost of Living Must Come as Re-
suit of Conditions Induced by High
Prices, Says Baruch.
Price Cutting Is General

General reductions of prices on mer-
chandise. especially clothing, was re-
ported today thruout the country.
Merchants in many large cities have
cut prices from 20 to so per cent.
Newspapers in New York were filled
with advertisements Of the "sales."
Reasons given for the reduction
were:
A SLOW" spring season with. the
public doing little purchasing and
leaving merchants with stocked up
shelves
The tight" condition of the money
market.
Banks were reported calling in
loans, forcing merchants who had bor-
rowed money to purchase goods to
unload in order to meet their notes.
Congestion OF freight shipments due
to the lack of cars, the trump" rail-
road strike and preventing proper
distribution of merchandise.
The food market, according to to-
days reports. had not been generally
influenced by the downward move
ment. However. grocers in some Sec
tions predicted a slight decline might
be expected soon, due to the general
economic conditions. The congested
freight situation was given as the rea-
son for food prices remaining up.
The price cutting movement has hit
the middle west, all large cities except
Detroit and Cleveland reporting slash
ing of prices.
