Senators Pledge Bonus Delay
On Hearing Harding Message

Senator Jones, of New Mexico, Dem
ocrat, and member of the Finance Com
,,hie'ee, spoke at length in behalf of the
oonus Dill. He reminded Republicans
lha' good deal had been heard for
some years past about taking orders
from the Chief Executive"
Inc bonus bill, he declared, would
nave passed the Senate last winter by q
large majority. He denied it would
break the Treasury as alleged, and
said the real purpose and object of the
DIN were misunderstood.
senator Jones offered an amendmen
under which the bill would go into
erect January l next. He said he did
not challenge the sincerity of the
president or of Secretary Mellon, but
declared they are looking through
spectacles of certain schools of thought
through which | do not look"
Senator Pen-ose, commenting on the
message and the course of his commit
tee, said the message was q patriotic
one.
1T was patriotic document" he
said. "The President will be supported
ny the American people, including the
soldiers
He declared the bill would be re-
ported out again, but he did not know
Whether 1t would be this session or
next.
Mondell Is Silent
The comment in the House on the
Presidents address was entirely favor
able. Two Republican leaders, how
ever, declined to discuss it. They were
Representative Mondell, majority floor
leader, and Chairman Fordney of the
Committee on Ways and Means.
Representative Simeon D. Fess, of
Ohio, chairman of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee said:
The President has acted with the
good judgment and sound courage
which the country demands from the
head of the government at the moment
of financial and industrial stress. He
has rendered a signal service to the
country by calling attention to the un-
wisdom of adding to the already stag
gering obligations of the Treasury"
Mr. Mondell merely said that, mas
much as the message was addressed to
the Senate, he did not care to COM
ment.
Other members of both sides of the
House expressed emphatic approval.

Of the Treasury now means positive
disaster in the years immediately be-
fore u.s." he added.
Inc only sure way to normalcy, said
ne, lis over the paths nature has
marked throughout all human expert
ence. The executive branch of the
government is working toward de-
creased public expenditures as the
only way to reduce the burden of tax
alton on the people. He promised the
Sehaee that the cost of government will
pc reduced BY many millions, but only
Win the strlctest economy.
The President expressed his earnest
wish for early accomplishment" of
tax revision. though he did not go to
the point, as some Senators hoped he
would, of advising that it be put ahead
OF the tariff. The message is not expected
TO change the situation which has ex-
listed tor some time with respect to
putting tax revision ahead of the tar
III measure. Members of both houses
long have advocated such a plan but
they have no definite program vet in
sight for accomplishing it.
Senate leaders said the message of
the President with respect to the bonus
OH strengthened the support for re-
committing the measure to the Finance
Committee. No doubt is entertained
this will he done.
In moving to recommit the bill.
Senator Penrose said careful further
consideration will be given to the
measure"
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, took
issue with this. He declared that
sending the bill back to the Finance
Committee meant its death and burial,
and that the facts set forth by the
President in his message had been
within the knowledge of the Senate
for a long time. He called attention
to the fact that the President in com
ing before the Senate and addressing
it had followed "the precedent estab-
lished by President Wilson"
"Forceful and persuasive as is the
address of the President continued
Senator Robinson, "it has not brought
to the Senate any new state of facts
which would justify Senator'S in
precipitately reversing their action as
to this question"

Wall Street Once More Puts Her QuietuS on Man Who Was
 Too Ambitious.
HIS STORY IS SENSATIONAL
Nephew of Colonel Guffey, Who Made and Lost Many Fortunes, Himself Did Some Very Spectacular
 Things With Oil Stocks.

New York.-When the directors re- signed the other day and the Tide water Oil company, Standard Oil subsidiary, thus got control of the Guffey Gillespie Oil company, insiders knew Wall street once more had writ ten "finis' to the career of man who ''bit off more than he could chew"
 The victim was Joe Guffey, more formally Joseph F. Guffey of Pitts burgh, and fully described thus:
 President of the Guffey- Gillespie Oil company. with leases covering 220,00O acres in the Mid Continent and Texas fields.
 President of the Atlantic Gulf Oil corporation, controlled by the Atlantic, Gulf x West Indies Steamship lines and operating around Tampico.
 President of the Colombia syndicate, controlled by Guffey-Gillespie and "Agwi' and owning million acres of oil lands along the Magdalena river in South America.
 Director of Reliance Life Insurance company, and several Pittsburgh banks.
 Democratic national committeeman from Pennsylvania. promoter and ''angel' of A. Mitchell Palmer's last presidential boom.
 Former director of sales for the alien property custodian.
 Uncle Lost Many Fortunes.
 nf story seldom equaled In American business and political biography. It parallels the story of another Guffey of a preceding generation. For Joe Cuff fey is a nephew of old Col. James M Guffey, also of Pittsburgh, said to have made and lost more fortunes in oil than any other person in the United States.
 By 1919, when the partnership was reorganized as the Guffey Gillespie Oil company, it had become one of the largest in the midcontinent field. In addition, Guffey X Gillespie, with oth- CT Pittsburghers, acquired 125,000 acres of oil lands in Colombia, and the Colombia syndicate was formed.
 Then "Agwi" entered the Mexican field, organized the Atlantic Gulf Oil company, and elected Guffey president.
 Boosted Stock to $50.
 Last summer Guffey found the bears out gunning for Guffey-Gillespie stock, although it had earned 80 share the year before. Guffey began the fight which ended Tuesday in total defeat. Putting in almost every dollar he had and borrowing $2,000O0O, he formed q pool to peg the stock with New York and Pittsburgh friends.

 Undersecretary of State Paisant. discussing the question with Ameri- cans. proposes publicity as remedy. He has invited American visitors to join in protest which will be pub lished in the Paris press, and he also will take up personally individual cases of extortion brought to his at tention.
 The most frequent causes of com plaint are charges for lodgings in ho- tels and apartments. Mir Paisant told the Americans he had decided to ask hotels to publish their rates in the papers. This remedy would not, how ever. affect apartments, which are the subject of profiteering on a scale hitherto unknown.
 There are very few unfurnished apartments to let, according to the real estate agencies; as fast as vacated by tenants, they are trans formed into furnished apartments and

At each turn it was the same dis heartening story-bridges gone and no way of fording the turbulent waters.
 Just when all hope seemed gone, Dr. Selby remembered something. Somewhere he had read that the post master general was 'humanizing' the postofiiee department. He rushed to the telephone and asked c. A. Sluder. manager of the air mail field at North Platte, to take him across the river in an airplane.
 Sorry" said Sluder. "but I couldn't without getting authority from Wash ington first"
 But the woman is dylng," the phy- sician urged.
 ''In that case" replied Sluder, i've will take you first and get the author ity afterward."
 So it was that the life of a woman in an humble Nebraska farmhouse was saved just because the postoffice department has been humanized. And so it is that Postmaster General Hays is probably the happiest man In Wash ington.
