while the police were making an eX-
haustiye search for the three young
men in the vampire auto that speeded
away after striking the aged man.
When apprehened the three VIII pro-
babalyy be shown very little lenlencJ
by the local authorities on account OF
the inhumane way they treated their
aged victim.
The accident has excited wrath In
all circles and the three young men
have been the object Of great wrath
and righteous indignation wherever
the accident as been mentioned. Every
clew which mightlead to the apprehen-
sion of the trio is being shifted out by
the authorities.
The accident occurred at $50
o'clock Thursday night at the corner
Of Sanger and jefferson street Just as
it was too dark for the occupants OF
the car to be easily identified. Mr..
Gillen was found lying in the street
about 25 feet from the place he was
struck.
The police have succeeded in locat-
ing the number of a telephone line.
over which two mysterious phone
calls were sent to Ryburn hospital
asking the condition of the injured
man The first call was received at
midnight and asked if a man who
had been struck by an auto had been
brought in there The query was
made by a man who after asking a
bout the condition of the victim hung
up refusing to give his name to the
nurse on duty.
The second call was received at 4
O'Clock Friday morning, when a mans
voice again inquired about Mr. Gillen
but refused to give his name The
calls were made over four party line.
Only one family on the line is said to
own an auto, and the police stated to-
day that no supicion was attached to
this family
The phone over which the calls
were made were yelled in secrecy to-
day both by the local officials of the
telephone company and by the police.

APPEARS NEAR MENDOZA

Mendoza, July l6--Vincent H. Gull.
foyle, son Of I'M. and Mrs Michael
Guilfoyle, who reside several miles
north Of this city, suffered an attack
of anterior polomyelitis or what is
commonly called infantile paralysis.
He Is II years old and was in his
usual health when afflicted He had
been assisting his father in putting
up hay by driving the horses on the
hay rake for a few days previous to
his taking sick The heat was very
severe and when he was at first af-
fcted 1t was thought he had been
overcome by the heat. DR.. E p. Cook
was called and the condition of the
case made it very difficult for him to
diagnose the same. Finally after a
consultation the ailment was found
to be infantie paralysis and the
home is quarantined. The family re-
side a full quatrer of a mile up in the
field from the road. The doctor says
the case is mild one. The boy can
move his legs but when he attempts
to walk his knees give way. How
ever, he can crawl about the room. He
is being kept perfectly quiet and ev-
erything is being done for his speedy
recovery.
1t was learned that Dr. Remsburg

LEGION CHIEFS To-
CONTINUE FIGHT
FOR SOLDIER BONUS.
RENEWED viGoR TO BE APPLIED
IN FIGHT FOR VETERANS AS
RESULT OF ANTAGONIST
AGAINST BILL IN AMERICAN
CONGRESS.

Cicago, July 16.-The fight of the
American Legion for the soldiers bo-
nus will be continued with renewed
vigor, Major John G. Emery Of Grand
Rapids, Mich, national commander
of the legion, declared in commenting
on the sidetracking of the bonus bill
in the senate, here last night.
"If the war had continued for an.
other thirty days" he asserted, "it
would have cost the government as
much as the proposed adjusted COM
pensation program
Major Emery has been here attend
ing the convention Of ere national
association of Real Estate Boards.
"The American Legion's program
will stand" he said. 1--WE will i'm
mediately start the fight for the
bonus all over again in the house.
Our program stands Endorsed by two
conventions of the legion-that at
Minneapolis in 1919 and that at
Cleveland in 1920. We have practic-
ally been assured that the Sweet bill
will be passed"
I'VE consider Pres. Harding all
wrong in his attitude. Why, the sen.
ate finance committee in it's report
declared untrue the claims that the
Sweet bill and adjusted compensation
program would bankrupt the treas
ury."
Major Emery asserted the legion
has we'll defined program to fight
for the bonus and this will not be
modified
There was at first considerable op-
position in the lefion itself to this
program but this has now subsidized
Wherever it existed it was on the
part of men we'll off financially We
have now induced those men to de-
vote their shares in the compensa-
ton to the men who need it. There
are now several millionaires among
the strongest supporters of the pro-
gram. The wounded and disabled
men will be taken care of first and
then will come those in financial
straits due to the war, Major Emery
said.
"The country as a whole is with
us in this" he stated "Only Wash
ington, the banks and the associations
of commerce are against our pro-
gram"
