SENATE COMMITTEE
SPLIT OVER BONUS
Wason Measure Is Acted
Upon FaUorobly.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.--The Senate
Finance Committee failed to reach an
agreement to-day on the soldiers bonus
bill, but Republican leaders predicted
that the House bill, shorn OF taxation
provisions, would be reported tomorrow
to the Senate. Doubt was expressed.
however, that the legislation could be
passed before adjournment Of Congress
next week.
Though failing to agree on the bonus
bill. the Finance Committee acted favor
ably to-day on the Wason bill. another
measure for the benefit of former service
men. This bill. which has been passed
by the House, would extend privileges of
war risk insurance and compensation
BENEFITS.
The bonus bill caused a long contro-
versy in the committee. Opposition to
the cash bonus was led by Senator's
Smoot. Republican, Utah, and Thomas.
Democrat, Colorado. both of whom called
attention to the depleted condition Of the
Treasury. Senator McCumber. Repub-
lican, North Dakota, presented figures to
show that. cash bonus would entail a
minimum cost OF s1,400, 100000. The in
creased insurance plan. Senator McCum-
Der estimated. would cost considerably
more. Advocates of the cash bonus, how
ever, argued that the funds necessary
under that plan would not be payable for
two years. and that by that time econo-
mics would be effected whith would re-
iicve the strain on tho Treasury.

IN SOUTHERN ITALY

counter, it is said. an extreme Nation
alst and Socialist were killed, others
were wounded and the Chamber of La
Dor of the town OF Minervino Murge
was stormed and burned. The Tempo
places the number OF dead at six.
Thereupon, adds the Epocd, the So
cialists proclaimed a general strike,
obeyed among others by the employees
OF the electric light plant. leaving the
town without light A fresh encounter
followed and the killing of another
member of the Fascist added to the
excitement.
According to the Epocd, the Socialists
formed armed bands of peasants which,
it says, wandered throughout the coun-
try in search of extreme Nationalists
and land owners and devastated prop.
erty and poisoned water used by cattle.
Three bodies are declared to have been
found in farmhouse burned so badly it
was impossible to identify them.
Because of the vastness of the dis
turbed area, the reports add, the local
police and soldiers were unable to cope
with the situation. Numerous troops.
carablneers and royal guards were hast
lily despatched by the Government,
which is adopting the most energetic
measures to reestablish order.
In the country about Spinazzola five
dairies are reported to have been
burned by the peasants. An extreme
Nationalist Mario Bembo. was killed
by a shot fired through the window of
his own house. and a prominent lana
owner. also a member of the Fascist,
was found dead.

ALLIES TO PAY DEBT,
SAYS r. w. LAMONT
Fmoncier Derides Taik of
Secret Agreement.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25.--All the
Allies will pay their war debts to the
United States. Thomas w. Lamont de-
clared tonight before tine Philadelphia
Public Ledger forum on the peace con-
ference.
Il note constant reference to some
alleged secret understanding arrived at
in Paris" he said. between President
Wilson and his advisers on one hand
and the French and British represen-
tatives on the other, to the effect that
allied Indebtedness to the United States
should, in whole or in part, be cancelled
or forgiven.
There amt no such thing From
start TO finish of the peace conference
President Wilson and his advisers. with
out exception. opposed vigorously and
finally any such suggestion or PROPOSE
tion of cancellation.
"The whole question of international
debts is n most important one. The
American people must, in the last analy-
sls, determine 1t upon the principle OF
what course Is best calculated to bene-
it the world as a whole. including
America
Deprecating Americas lack of repre-
sentation on the permanent reparations
commission. Mr.. Lamont said: "Our
failure to name n daily delegate for
this commission has been not merely a
great disappointment 20 our former asso-
ciates in the war. but has, ] believe
been largely responsible for the con-
tinued economic unsettlement in Europe
with its unfortunate reflex upon our own
industrial and commercial business"
The $4,000. 100000. which Germany
was notified she must pay over q series
of forty-two years by the recent set
tlement at Paris, Mr. Lamont said, II
amortized at II per cent. and brought
back TO present values, would represent
a capital sum of about thirteen billions,
plus whatever amount Germany has al
ready paid on account.
Now even the most moderate of the
experts figuring at Paris" he added.
Thought that Germany could pay a
capital sum Of ten or fifteen billion
dollars. so that not counting the socalled
export tax which Is a part of the re-
cent Paris settlement. the schedule ar
rived at does not seem to be unreason-
able. Certain IL Is that the allied and
associated Powers would be delighted
to receive as reparation capital sum
to-day OF $4,000. 100000 rather than
what that sum would amount to with
interest spread out over series of thirty
or forty years"

GIBBONY IS SURELY
DEAD, SAYS CONSUL
State Department Receives
Report From Mexico.
Special Despatch to THE NEw YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. O.. Feb. OK

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 25.
There is no doubt in the mind of o.
Gaylord Marsh, American Consul at Pro-
greso. Mexico, that ID. Clarence Glib
honey. Philadelphia attorney. who repre-
sented G. c. Bergdoll, draft dodger, was
drowned off the coast of Mexico near
Champoton.
The State Department made public to-
day report from Mr.. Marsh of the in
vestigations he has conducted by direc-
ton Of the Department. Mr.. Marsh said
while the information he has received is
circumstantial he believes 1t to be con-
elusive as to Gibboney's identity. He
added that Roland Markley, son Of john
r. Markley, who was reported to have
been drowned with Gibboney, was at San
Pablo on February IL with authority to
disinter the body Of Gibboney for pur-
poses of Identification.
The Consul expressed the opinion that
Roland Markley should be able to clear
up the whole question of identity, since he
was on the ground and in a position to
make personal investigation and ex-
animation. The Consul said he had met
Gibboney on his arrival at Progreso
that Gipboney had lodged at the Imperial
Hotel, Merida that later he went tc
Campeche. and after that Mr.. Gibboney
sailed from Canpeche for San Pablo
The Mexican Foreign Office is also re-
ported to be making an inquiry into the
circumstances Of the drowning.

HOTEL CRILLON DAMAGE DUE
TOU S. SOLDIERS HOBNAILS
Bill for $125870 Presented to Congress in Connection
With Peace Delegations Expenses Explained
at Last by Paris Hostlery's Manager.

When a bill for s125.s7oS2 was pre-
sented by the Hotel Crilion in Paris
to Congress, with a note attacllsd ex-
planning that this represented the
amount of damage done by the Ameri-
cans to the hotel during the peace con-
ference, certain facetious but practical
parties wanted 10 know how that much
damage could be inflicted upon any
European hotel and leave any portion
of the place intact
Others opined that the bill explained
such things as the hiding place of all
those American built tanks and the like.
More sympathetic critics suggested that
the carpets We're worn out by the Pres
ident's assistants who, these people de-
cided, spent most of their time walking
up and down the corridors and pacing
their rooms waiting to be asked to do
something.
Yesterday the secret became ours.
Henri Dequis, manager of the Crillon,
who is at the Hotel Plaza here, ex-
planned that 1t was not the dusty
shoulders of the experts, the sulphur

spondents or the weary shuffling up
and down to the willing but idle aids
that ruined the Crillon SO much.

A SHAMEFUL SPECTACLE

If Gladstone were living we doubt
if he would now bestow on the Senate
of the United States the wonderful
compliment he once paid it.
Just before his retirement from Of
eice President Wilson sent in the
names of 1000 army men for promo
ton which. without assigning any rea'
son, the Senate promptly refused to
confirm.
A few weeks later, when Mr.. Hard
ing became president, he sent in the
list of 1000 containing the identical
names, which, without reading, the
Senate promptly confirmed.
AS a specimen OF narrow bigoted
rartisanism we do not believe its
counterpart could be found in any
legislative body in the world.
And yet we are told by some very
influential newspapers that Mr.. Hard
