Leslie I. McCleary, Son of
Steel Company Secretary,
Who Acted Queerly for
Days, Fights in His Room

Leslie I. McCleary, forty-hve years
old, son Of James 7. McCleary, secre-
tary of the American Iron and Steel
Institute, armed himself with large
carving knife yesterday, barricaded
himself in his room at the Waldorf
Astoria and for two hours held at bay
the hotel employees who strovc 10 en-
ter and capture him.
His room adjoined that occupied by
his parents, who locked their door and
piled furniture against it to prevent
their son from entering. Eventually
Detectives Frederick Chapey and Den
mis- ODay of the hotel managed to
force an entrance into the frenzied
mans room, subducd him after fight
and took him to a waiting ambulance.
il which he was transported to Belle
vue Hospital, where he is now under
observation.
Shower of Bric a Brac
Passers by on Thirty third Street
were first to learn that McCleary was
irrational, when an avalanche of trays
napkins, brio brac candle sticks and
other small furnishings and mple-
ments began to pour from a third floor
window of the hotel out upon the side
walk.
On the napkin was scrawled: Zone
hundred dollars will be paid to you for
my rescue Get Judge Gary. He will
rescue me. Leslie McCleary.'
When the management of the hotel
were Informed what was going on the
detectives were sent to McC!eary's room.
When they knocked on the door they say
a man shouted:
"I'vc got bomb and a revolver in
here. Pll blow to pieces the first man
who enters. If you get by me III jump
from the window. I've a candle and
paper here and will set fire to the
hotel"
After much futile argument through
the door the detectives entered the
room by the ledge running from Nc
Cleary's TO his parents window.
He met them with long knife in
one hand and tea tray in the other
and admitted them when they told him
that people were bounding them be-
cause they were his friends.
Candles in Room
In the center of the room the man
had made pile Of papers capped by
drawers from the bureau. A dozen
lighted candles stood about the room,
which was completely wrecked, with
most Of the furniture broken and piled
against the door.
McCleary, the detectives say, broke
in upon their efforts to argue with him
by telephoning a newspaper, asking for
MIR. Curtis and announcing:
You'd better get two reporters up
here. I'm going to murder some one

sos, 100000 Reduction Made
I'm National Debt I'm March
Cut Is More Than Double That of Any Previous
Month and Indicates Success of Financial
Program, Says Treasury Department

WASHINGTON, April "A reduc-
tion of S7o5,66o,O0O in the national
debt-more than double the amount
by which the debt was lowered during
any previous month-was accomplished
in March, the Treasury Department re-
ported tonight. The national debt now
stands at $24,69S, 100000.
Officials said this record could not
be used as basis for forecasting
further monthly reductions. They re-
garded it, however, as "sound evidence"
of the success Of the Treasury pro-
gram for financing the postwar period
when government expenditures still
continue to run nigh.
March payments on the public debt
were confined almost wholly to retire
ment of certificates of indebtedness
issued in anticipation of income and
profit taxes.
Reductions by months since August,
when the retrements began, we're:
October, s15, 1913 900; November, $94,
478, 900; December, $27S,o73,OO0; Janu-

ary, S16S,6S9oCo. and February, $685.
% 900. Heavy payments on the debt
IN December and February were trace
able to the retirement of certificates
of Indebtedness, but the amount of
obligations retired each month, al
though tiuctuating, has been on the
increase.
Future monthly reductions will hinge
largely on new appropriations and tax
legislation, officials said. They ex,
pected. however, that operation of the
sinking fund would reflect more and
more on the gross national debt each
month hereafter. None would venture
a prediction as to the net reduction for
the calendar year.
AS the public debt now stands it is
made up of 6,Soo,ooo, comprising
the four issues of Liberty bonds, $4,-
422,7o0.o0O of Victory short term notes,
s2,667 100000 in Treasury certificates,
SS70,0o0,o0O in war savings certificates
and approximately 100000 in
bonds issued prior to the World War.

old bonds is the issue of consols of

Plan of Raising Money

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
W WASHINGTON, April 2.--Legislation
granting a bonus to every soldier,
sailor and marine who served in the
war will be passed by Congress, Sem
ator Lodge, of Massachusetts, majority
leader in the Senate. declared to- day.
Senator Lodge said there was no
doubt in the minds of Republican
leaders in Congress that a bill should
be passed giving the service men a
suitable reward. He said he would not
take up the form of the bonus legisla-
tion until after the House had dis
posed of the measure.
There is no doubt that Congress
will pass bonus legislation this ses-
sion," said Mr.. Lodge.
The majority leaders, statement was
made after the Finance Committee or
the Senate and WAYS and Means Com
mlttee OF the House, at joint session,
had discussed methods of raising the
enormous amount Of money that would
be paid to the former service men as
a bonus.
$50 Month, Legion Plan
Under the plan proposed by a spe-
cal committee Of the American Legion,
which Is now being considered by the
House Ways and Means Committee. be-
tween $l,1o0, 100000 and $500, 900 900
would be required to give every man
who wore a uniform bonus.
he Legion plan is to give each man
who was in the service $50 month
for the time he spent in uniform,
whether he was overseas or in train
in
were between 100000 and 10000
men in all branches of the service dur
ing the war.
At the Joint conference Of the Sen
ate and House fiscal committees tie
subject of bonuses was discussed at
great length. Some Of the Senators
urged delay in consideration Of the
bill that is pending, but the House
members served notice as body they
iavor early passage of the bill.

Ways and Means Committee Is reported
10 have said at the joint committee
Senator Lodge, in predicting the
Passage Of bonus legislation to-day
said the sum that would be required
for bonuses must be raised through
taxation.
Special Tax Only Solution
"Therc arc only two ways in which
the money could be raised" Senator
Lodge said. "Onc is by floating an
other loan, and the other is by in
crcasing taxes. It is impossible to pay
the bonuses through more bonds. and
;hc on: Y way left is to provide FOR d
special taX levied for the specific pur-
pose of raising tie money for the
bonusos.'
A retail sales tax to be imposed
upon every merchant. LARGE and small,
and upon every sale he makes, TO mat
ter what line Of goods he handles, is
being considered by the finance com
rnttees of Congress as the most feas-
iblc plan for raising the bonus money.
The consumption tax was proposed
after experts Of the Treasury Depart
ment had informed the committees
that only about 1928 100000 could be
raised annually if the existing tax on
incomes were doubled.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittce expects to report the bonus bill,
