general Wood will be needed here. He

New Jersey. where he and Johnson
are at grips. and his defeat at John

that in Michigan, naturally Is caus-

BONUS CAUCUS IS
DELAYED BY c. 0.P.
Republicans Ask Postponement
Till Legislation Is
Drafted.

The Republican caucus on soldier
bonus legislation scheduled for to-
night has been postponed until Fri
day, April 80. at the request OF those
Republican members who called the
caucus.
1t is stated that the reason is the
fact that legislation has not been
drafted by the Ways and Means Com
mittee,
House Republican Leader Mondell
announced the postponement OF the
caucus.
Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee today reached
a tentative agreement on these spe-
cial taxes to provide for soldier
bonus payments: One per cent on
final sales, estimated to yield $4OO,-
600, 900: stock exchange transactions
tax equal to amount of brokers' COM
mission, estimated to yield 100000.
600; income tax of 2 per cent on ex-
cess income over $4,000, estimated to
yield O0.OO0, 900: 10 per cent increase
in tax on tobacco and cigars, esti-
mated to yield $5O.0O0,0O0.
These taxes will yield, Ii is esti-
mated, $750,00O, 900 a year, and are to
be levied for a period OF two years, to
produce 81 500 10000 the amount es'
timated to be necessary to meet the
proposed cost of the bonus.
Agreement could not be reached or
essential features of the proposed bill
which included those who are to be
given the bonus and the taxation plan
Tentative agreement was reached
late yesterday that the beneficiarie:
should include enlisted men and of
ficers up to and including the rank o.
captain. This agreement was knocked
out this morning by those opposing
a bonus to officers.

ON COAL SHIPMENTS
Operator Tells Senate Commit

During Past Year.

THE existence OF our government
and society has been menaced during
the last year by the coal situation
Eugene McAuline. Illinois coal opera
tor. today told the Senate subcommit-
tee investigating the coal situation.
The establishment OF a dinerential
rate, providing lower freight sched-
ules during the summer months, was
advocated by McAulire.
The establishment OF a dinerential
rate would distribute the movement
OF coal throughout the year, relieve
car shortage. keep the mines operat-
ing during the slack season. and be
beneficial to the railroads" McAuiire
said.
miners are idle during many
months of the year under present
conditions and coal is not available
at the time 1t is needed" McAuliffe
continued.
"Under present conditions we must
police our mines "a hours a day for
a four hour operation. The cost OF
this passed to the consumer. The
same situation exists in the rail-
roads" McAuliff said.
Exemption OF tidewater coal from
the provision OF the differential plan
was advocated by the witness.

JOHNSON CLAIMS
R00SEVELT'S TOGA
California Senator's Aides Hit
Back At Move BY Wood
J Henchman.

The drive for support OF the Roose-
welt following In Maryland made by
Charles j. Bonaparte. former member
OF RooseveIt's cabinet, and in behalf
OF Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood. has
brought a sharp rejoinder from the
camp OF Senator Hiram Johnson OF
I California.
! '"Johnson and not Wood Is the log
icsl heir 10 the Roosevelt mantle" the
johnson supporters insisted In state
ments published in reply to Mr.. Bona
parte. And TO support the contention.
evidence OF the high esteem In which
Roosevelt held Johnson is offered In
documents through which Roosevelt
expressed his opinion OF the Califor-
mia Senator.
, The documentary evidence offered
was related to opinions expressed by
Roosevelt, both publicly and private
ly. Letters to his intimate friends in
! which Roosevelt paid tribute to John
son were photographed and distribu-
ted and excerpts from Roosevelts
speech at the Progressive convention
In 1912 were published.
Held johnson ms Leader.
f"As late as 1915 Johnson was held
up as leader In whom faith could be
placed at any time and on any ques-
tion, according to the statements from
the johnson headquarters. On jan
uary 10. 1916. Roosevelt wrote to Ed
gar williams, president of the State
civil service commission of Califo--
mia, in which he made the following
statement:
JAS for my views on the situation,
] simply do not know what to say. L
am trying to keep In touch with
Hiram johnson, for OF all the public
men in this country he is the one with
whom / find myself in the most COM
piete sympathy. You are perfectly
! safe in following his lead" ..,
Particular emphasis Is being placed
. on the date of this letter by the John
son men. That 1t came only short
| time before the Republican conven-
| tion of that year and that 1t should
be considered in connection with the
speech OF Roosevelt in 1912, when he
proclaimed Johnson a mt man for the
Presidency, is the suggestion thrown
out by the Johnson camp. And that
Roosevelt's views never changed Is
! the added assertion.
Indorsed In 1912.
Even more emphatic, IL Is claimed
fby the johnson people, was the in
! dorsement Of the California Senator's
Asn 1912 When the cause of the Pro-
l)gressives was at the highest pitch
hnd when enthusiasm was evidenced
on every hand, Roosevelt publicly
paid the highest tribute to johnson.
At, the convention in Chicago he said:
I'm Governor Johnson we have a
man whose every word is made good
by the deeds he has done, a man who
nas the head of q great State, has prac-
ticaliy applied in that State for the
sbeneflt of the people Of that State the
aprinciples which we intend to apply
Ithroughout the Union as whole. We
have nominated the only type OF man
who ever ought to be nominated for
the Vice Presidency; we have nomi-
mated a man fit at the moment to be
President of the United States"
