Bonus Fight Reopened
In Rider to Tax Bill
Senator Reed, Launching the
Amendment, Says He'll Take
Matter Up With Legion

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Another
fight in the Senate over the soldiers
bonus bill was launched to-day by SEN
ator Reed, Democrat, Of Missouri, who
introduced an amendment to the pend
ing tax revision bill to enact the bonus
legislation which was recommitted to
the Finance Committee last July, at the
request of President Harding.
Senator Reeds amendment proposed
to raise q special fund in the Treasury
Department for expenses Of the bonus
plan by continuing excess profits taxes
on corporations at 1921 rates.
Republican leaders characterized the
Reed amendment as political play"
and predicted the amendment would be
rejected, but Senator Red, who has an
nounced he would discuss the Republi-
can attitude on taxation and the bonus
at the Kansas City national convention
Of the American Legion, promised to
make a hard fight in its behalf. Re-
publican spokesmen declared they in
tended to follow President Harding's
recommendation that action on the
bonus bill be delayed until the national
finances were in better position to bear
the expense involved.
Senator Reed sought to call up his
amendment late to-day, but it went
over under q prior agreement to con-
slider other provisions of the tax bill

that the forces nov assailing him
would be for him if he had served the
traction interests and was committed
TO a 10-cent fare.
The Endorsement by Judge Seabury
was in the form of letter to the
Mayor.
Mr.. Hines in his Endorsement fn-
cuded the entire Democratic ticket
This was in line with his declaration
all through his fight with the leader Of
Tammany Hall, who sought to put the
stamp of party irreguiarity on his
chiefsfoe. Said Mr. Hines:
1T is a source of great pleasure 10
say that, judging from the enthusiasm
and activity Of the members of the
regular Democratic organization of the
11th Assembly District, every can
didate nominated by the Democratic
party will receive an unprecedented
vote on election day.
I'VE feel that home rule Will be en-
6angered if the Republican candidate
should by any chance be elected. Tho
great issue that is at stake cannot be
obscured by the insidious attempt OF
our opponents TO represent that any
division exists in our ranks with re-
spect to the loyalty of every Democrat
toward the entire Democratic ticket,
headed by John F. Hylan for Mayor"

Harding Sees Favorable
Reaction to Race Talk
Tells Cabinet Thinking South.
erners He Came in Contact
With Expressed Approval

From The Tr1burc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-The presi-
dent was at his desk at the White
House offices shortly after ii o'clock
this morning, following his return from
four-dsy trip to Birmingham and
Atlanta. He presided at brief Cabi-
net meeting and told his advisers that
he observed a favorable reaction to his
Birmingham speech on the negro ques-
ton, which has created such stir
here. The President said that all
thinking Southerners, in so far as he
came in contact with them during his
trip, on digesting the speech expressed
their approval. To-day the President
was little disturbed by reports of the
commotion raised by Southern Sena-
tors.
Mr. Harding told the members of his
Cabinet that he was convinced that a
President making a journey into the
South should say something more
than pleasant things and concern him
self with problems more vital. The
President is reported to have told the
Cabinet further that the public can
not go on forever with the rising tide
OF color without some considera ton
being given to the problem.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Oct. 2s.-Acting
under instructions from District At

County, DR.. George B. Magrath, medi-
cal examiner Of Suffolk County, as
sisted by DR.. George ". Dow, medical
examiner In the local district, per-
forme IN autopsy to-day on the body Of
Edward F.Searles, multimillionaire, who
died here year ago last august. The
autopsy, which lasted four hours, was
performed in the tomb on the Searles
estate, Pine Lodge, at Methuen. An
air of mystery surrounded the exami-
nation, secrecy being maintained by
those in position to know what was
going on.
The vital organs were taken to Bos-
ton by DR.. Magrath, who will, it is
understood, turn them over to DR.. Will
liam j. Boos, Of Harvard Medical
School. A chemical and microscopic
examination will be made to determine
If there is any trace of arsenic or other
poisons in the stomach. It is thought
that there will be no report on the
findings for several days.
The autopsy was performed as re-
suit Of rumors that have been in circu-
lation since the death Of Mr.. Searles.
Action was prompted directly, however,
by an anonymous letter which the Dis
trict Attorney received, saying that
the circumstances surrounding Mr..
Searles's death warranted another in
vestigation. Greater weight was given,
IT is believed, as q result of statements
OF Assistant Medical Examiner Victor
9. Reed, attending physician for Mr..
Searles. DR.. Reed, who said he would
welcome an autopsy, confirmed the re-
port that Mr.. Searles had had sud-
den illness, the symptoms of which he
described as compatible with arsenical
poisoning"
The state was represented at the
autopsy by State Policeman Richard ].

date for Sheriff, Patrick ]. Kane. for
mer Democratic leader of the Sd AS
sembly District, filed petition as an
Independent Republican candidate on a
so-called "5-cent fare" ticket.
John Boyle, representing the coali-
tionists, challenged the validity Of 915
of the 2,S66 signatures on the Van
Orden petitions. Seventy-one men and
women were summoned and taken in
eight automobiles to the Supreme
Court, where they said they had signed
the petition under the impression that
1t was scent fare proposition. They
said thev did not know that Van Orden
had anything to do with it.

Stabbing Victim
Believed To Be
Northport Boy
Body Found in Niagara River
Partly Identified as That
of Kenneth Losey, Son
of High School Principal
Missing From Wesleyan
Left College Oct. l3 for
Home; Murdered a Week
Ago, Buffalo Police Say


BUFFALO,, Oct. 26.-The body of a
young man with a stab wound in his
side, found last night in the Niagara
River near here, was believed to-day to
be that of Kenneth r. Losey, of North
port, Long Island, junior at Wesleyan
University at Middletown, Conn, who
has been missing from that school for
three weeks. In the pockets of the
clothing were found small Bible and
watch with Wesleyan charm, and
reports from Middletown said that Lo-
sey had both when he was last seen on
October 49,
M. D. Losey, principal of the high
school at Northport and father of the
missing student, is hurrying to this
city to make the Identification positive.
Police are satised that the body is
that of young Losey. He was mur-
dered, Medical Examiner Earl G. Dan
ser has established.
Message Not Explained
The mystery surrounding the stu
dents presence in Buffalo and the
cause of the murder is battling the po-
lice. The young man is described as
having been rather quiet and straight
forward
The father received word only to-
day that his son had not been in school
for two weeks, and hurried to Middle
town. When he arrived he was in
formed that apparently his son had
been murdered near this city. Word
of the Staying had been received by
the college authorities from the Buff
falo police only few minutes before
the fathers arrival.
Mr.. Losey said tonight that he was
satisfied from the description that the
body was that of his son.
II cannot understand he declared,
"why he was so far west. He has a
sister in Utica, but I do not under
stand why he should have gone beyond
that city Whether he visited her on
the way to Buffalo is a fact that we
have not yet ascertained.
"There never has been anything ir-
regular in the boys life, so far as we
are aware. His habits in college are
reported to have been good and he
stood high in scholarship. I do not
think that a woman enters the case"
Chums Of young Losey in college say
that he had shown no signs of nervous
ness or depression.
w. E. Mansfield, Losey's roommate
New-York tribune., 1921-10-29

at college, left Middleton with Losey
on October 13. Kenneth said he was
on his way to spend the week end with
his father at Northport. The two
students travelled together as far as
New Haven, Conn, where they sepa-
rated, Mansfield to 60 to his home in
Danbury, Conn. At that time Losey
told his companion that he expected
ITO attend worlds series baseball
game in New York" before returning
to his studies.
Losey had about s25 with him when
he left Middletown. 1t was supposed
there that he had been detained at
home by illness, or for other good
reasons. The fathers fears were
aroused Thursday by note from his
sons chum asking about his return.
Body in River Week
The body Of the murdered youth was
found in the river near the interna.
tional bridge. 1t had apparently been
.here week. DR.. Danser said that
che position and course of the wound
preciuded the possibility of it being
seif-infiicted. Losey was stabbed in
the left side, the cut starting low and
taking an upward course. It Penetrated
a lung and death was due TO hemor-
rhage.
Police believe the young man was
killed in quarrel and his body thrown
into the water.
Edward Newton, captain of detectives,
communicated with police in New
Haven in an. effort to trace the boys
movements after parting with Mansfield.
1t is believed he met some one who in
duced him to come to Buffalo. That he
was here for some time is attested by
the. finding of Buffalo rheater ticket
stubs In his pockets, as we'll as re-
