COURT IS CONVENED
TO TEST BONUS ACT

ALBANY, June 14.-Gov. Miller to-day
requested the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court for the Third Judicial
Department to convene next Monday to
hear the suit instituted by Attorney
General Newton to test the constitu-
tionality OF the soldier bonus act. After
the Appellate Division has announced
it's decision, Gov. Miller said he would
request Chief Justice Hiscock of the
Court of Appeals to set a date to hear
the appeal from the decision.
The Attorney-GeneraPs suit Is in the
form of an action against the Westches-
ter County National Bank of Peekskill
to compel payment of $4,000 by the
bank. the amount of its bid for the bonds
to be issued under the law. The suit
was instituted TO clear up the question
of the validity of the s45.00o.o00 soldier
bonus bond issue and the payment of
bonuses to veterans of the world war.
The New York herald., 1921-06-15

A good many Senators who admit con-
fidentially that they expect to vote for
the bonus legislation did not want to
commit themselves definitely in advance
of the McCumber bill from the Finance
Committee. That committee met to-day
and received the favorable report of its
subcommittee on the measure. it was
decided to defer final action by the fuil
committee until next week.
When the committee meets again On
Monday, it Is probable it will vote to re-
port the measure favorably TO the Senate
with not more than three adverse votes.

Heavy Cost of the Bonus.


Senator McCumber estimates that at
the lowest his bill will mean Govern
ment outlay of s1,560, 900. 900, based on
the cash payment plan. while on the So
called insurance feature there Is q pos
sibility of a maximum outlay of more
than five billions.
The Finance Committee has no plan to
meet this enormous expense. The lead
ers, however. have given UP all hope OF
any real reduction In taxation. although
all will not admit this publicly. Senator
Smoot. Utah, author of the sales tax BILL
can see no way out except increased
taxes. Senator McCumber's only sug-
gestion is that the payments under the
bonus bill Will be so spread out that
they will not fall too heavily I'm any
one year. He has no definite plan to
meet them.
Following is the tabulated poll of the
Senate and House

in the special election held here today.
The vote against adoption was 1918 !;
for adoption, 1865. 1t was one OF the
most bitter campaigns ever held here.
The amendment to the city charter

State Legislature. A bill was passed to
submit the matter to public vote on
June IA. Immediately after the bill was
passed opponents of the plan organized

Special Despatch to TIE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., June H.
A poll of the Senate and House
made by THE NEW York HERALD indi-
Gates that Congress will pass Fed
eral soldier bonus bill at this session.
The sentiment In the House is over
whelmingly in favor of such legisla-
ton. The vote in the Senate probably
will be closer. but the canvass points
to passage of the McCumber soldier
bonus bill in that body by safe mar
gin.
The only chance of defeating the
legislation would seem to be the side
tracking of the bill on the Senate
calendar and the prevention of a vote.
This seems to be entirely unlikely. The

The situation in the Senate Is frankly
one of unwilllngness on the part of many

years ago this coming winter.
Following the dinner President
J. H. Brooks called the meeting to
order to hear the report of the
committee appointed to investi-
gate the plan for winter sports.
B. A. johnson reported as chair
man of the committee that they
had investigated most carefully
the golf links and the land north
of there towards Observatory
Knob and that in the committees
opinion toboggarSslid could be
built there without using any scat
folding but utilizing the natural
slope of the land. 1t was the COM
mittee's idea to start, the course
on the slope of Mr.. Harvey's land
above the road to the Knob and
have it end near the present club
house. The course would lie di-
rectly north and south and be
electrically lighted and managed
by the Commercial Club. By vote
Of the directors the committee
were authorized to investigate
further and increase their number
if necessary to perfect the details
of the plan.
Mr.. Johnson also reported on
the possibility of municipal
skating rink and recommended
that if possible a portion of the
school house common be secured
for this purpose. If this is done
the rink will be properly pollced
and conveniences added for keep
ing warm and for putting on and
taking off the skates.
