Destroyed.

Weehawken, N. j. Nov. 5.-Tne
Erie railroads Weehawken piers and
water frort yards were laid waste by
one of the most spectacular fires tive

house; 80 loaded barges; train of 80
loaded freight cars and another of five
oil tanks were destroyed. Early es-
Inmates of the loss ranged from

lative until check can be made Of
the variegated shipments that were in

BEAT BONUS BILL
IN SENATE AGAIN
Reeds Amendment to Revenue
Measure Defeated SO to %.
FIVE REPUBLICANS FOR IT.
Capper, johnson (CaI.), Kenyon, Laid
and La Toilette Vote for PROPOSE
tion-One Democrat, Myers
(Mont.) Against 1t.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE soldiers
bonus failed again when the senate
rejected Senator Reeds amendment
to retain the excess profits tax in the
revenue bill to sustain it. The vote
was % for the amendment to 80
against it.
Notwithstanding the failure of the
Reed amendment, there was apparent
in the debate strong sentiment favor
ing the bonus. Several Republican
senators who yielded to President
Harding's plea that the bonus bill be
Sidetracked because of financial en-
barrassments, admitted means must be
devised to provide compensation for
the soldiers.
Five Republicans voted for the
amendment: Capper (Kan.), Johnson
(Cal.), Kenyon Qa), Ladd IN. d.,
and La Toilette (Wis.). Senator
Myers (Mont) was the only Democrat
to vote against it.
Kenyon Turns to Bonus.
Senator Kenyon, Iowa, aroused the
crowded galleries to applause in his
brief plea for the adoption of the Reed
amendment lie admitted that he had
needed President Harding's request to
send the bonus bill back to commit
tee because he did not want to embar-
rasS the President at the outset of
his administration, fully realizing the
difficulties that beset it.
'But | would not do 1t again." Sen
atOr Kenyon said. "NOt after two re-
cent experiences. l listened not long
ago to the testimony of a West Vir-
ginia coal operator who said he had
last year paid an excess profits tax
Of $1,O00,0OO and didn't feel it. That
same day | was called from my seat
In the senate to see an Iowa soldier
who had been wounded II times in
France, who had appealed to me on
behalf Of his starving wife and chill
dren, who were then being cared for
by the Salvation Army because he
could not support them"
Demagogues VS.. Statesmen.
Senator Kenyon said senators who
advocated bonus were called dema-
gogues, those who tried to help the
farmers were "demagogues," and
that those who tried to do anything
for labor were "demagogues"
'"The way not to be a demagogue,
he said, "is to vote to take the tax off
of golf balls, furs and excess profits.
Do that and you Immediately become
"a great statesman.
''Be this measure Democratic or tie
publican, | am going to vote for it."
Senator McCumber, North Dakota,
who rebelled against the Presidents
request to shelve the bill, said that he
was still for the bonus, but that he
did not want it tied up with the rev.
enue bill. He said the interest on the
foreign debt to America should be
utilized to finance the bonus.
Senator Jones, New Mexico, and
Senator Stanley, Kentucky, also made
stirring pleas for adoption of the Reed
amendment.

REPUDIATE FIRST STORY

District Attorney II, ID. Lytle NOV
ed to dismiss the case against Ross
and Reese Jenkins which was to
have been heard Tuesday afternoon
before Judge G. NJ. Stearns and in
doing so made this explanation:
"The case was brought on the
signed affidavits of Frank Johnson
and Francis Zimmerman who declar-
ed that they had secured hard cider
at jenkins Pool hall. When be-
fore the hearing they informed me
that Zimmerman had signed coun-
ter affidavit repudiating the first
statement, and that Johnson would
testify to a degree differently than
his signed statement indicated,
there was nothing to do but drop
the case.
However, we are to continue
our campaign to stop traffic In
liuuor in this county and since we
have found that one cover Of the
liquor trade is the punch board
they are to go in this county Their
use is absolutely contrary to the
law"
