rest at a point some Is miles south

Will Be Brought In In
Connection With
Soldier Bonus
SENATE HEADS WARNED
Some Repubs Believe 1t
Can Be Put Over On
Senate Floor
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Nov. 2.-Deploring
the effort to put sale tax through
the senate at this time, Chairman
Fordney, of the house ways and
means committee, disclosed today
that it is his plan to bring in sale
tax in connection with the soldier
bonus bill which, he said, would be
reported during the coming regular
session of congress.
eve want to reserve the sale tax
for the bonus BILL" Mr.. Fordney
said, land we will pass that measure
soon after congress reconvenes."
Earlier in the day Mr.. Fordney,
Representative Green, of Iowa, and
Representative Longworth, Of Ohio,
ranking Republican on the ways and
means committee, informed leaders
of the senate that under no eondi-
tions would the house agree to a sale
tax at this time.
Take 1t to Senate Floor
With proponents of the Smoot plan
claiming only five votes less than q
majority for the sale tax, some Re-
publican senate leaders thought the
fate of tina tproposition would be de-
cided by discussion on the senate
floor.
While the sale tax conference went
on in the cloak room and elsewhere
the senate proceeded with the tax
bill, completing consideration Of a
majority of committee amendments
and taking up changes proposed by
individual senators.
An amendment by Senator Tram
nell, of Florida, raising the age
limit from 18 to 81 upon which the
dependency exemption of $400 coulc
be claimed in individual income re
turns, was defeated without a re-
cord vote. Mr.. Trammell told the
senate he believed that exemption!
should be extended to twenty mas
much as few college students com
plete their courses under that age
and that, therefore, they continued
to be an expense for which consid
GRAFTON should be given.
Force Three Big Fights
A third successive night session
was held and those in charge of thu
measure hoped that by tomorrow
the way would be cleared for the re
naming three big fghts-the soldie,
bonus, sales tax and graduated cor
poration income tax.

LLOyD-GEORGE CANCELS
PASSAGE TO SAIL FOR
AMERICA ON SATURDAY
Taken to Mean Settle
ment With Ireland
Near at Hand
(By Associated P-ess.l

London, Nov. 2.-Premier Lloyd
George has definitely cancelled his
passage on the steamer Aquintania
ON which he was to have proceeded to
the United States, November 5, to
attend the Washington conference.
This became officially known here to-
night for the first time.
1t had been known for some days
that the critical stage which the Irish
negotiations had reached probably
would prevent the premier from sail
ing on Saturday.
Owing to the grave turn in Irish
affairs it is not even possible to fix
a provisional date for the premier's
sailing, but he still intends to go to
Washington at the earliest possible
moment.
Cancellation by the premier of his
passage is considered favorable,
rather than an unfavorable sign of
the progress of the Irish negotia-
tions. The Interpretation placed on
it is that Mr.. Lloyd George hopes
that few days delay in his depar-
ture will enable him to see a set
tlement reached or at least the basis
of an agreement arrived at which
can be worked out during his abb
sence from the country. In this con-
nection Importance is attached to the
fact that Sir James Craig, the Uls-
ter premier, is coming to London
Saturday.

Says Evidence Is Com
ing to Him From
Many Cities
REED ADVISES CAUTION
Thinks Public Investi-
CATION at This Time
Unwise Action

Washington, Nov. 2.-NOtice
in the senate today by Senator
Watson, Democrat, of Georgia,
that he intends to present to the
senate itself evidence on his
charges that American soldiers
were hanged overseas without
court martial.
The Georgia senator declared that
he would not be bundled up in any
committee room" and have his evil
dence "entombed by senators in re-
port that nobody would read" but
would make his fight in the open
senate. He said he would reserve de-
cision as to whether he would appear
at all before the special senate COM
mittee appointed to investigate his
charges.
ProvOkes Spirited Discussion
Senator Watson's statements to-
day were made in another hours
spirited clash over the investigation
when Senator Brandegee, Republ-
can, of Connecticut, chairman Of the
special committee, prevented the
formal resolution, authorizing the
committee to take testimony under
oath and subpoena witnesses and
papers. The resolution drew sharp
comment from Senator Watson and
also involved him and Senator Reed,
Democrat, Missouri, in a spirited
discussion with several Republicans
regarding the proposed investigation.
Senator Watson reiterated his
charges and declared they all had
been made in 1918 by former Sena-
tor Chamberlain, of Oregon, now a
member of the Shipping Board. The
Georgia senator declared that, today
he had received letters and telegrams
from former service men in Phila-
delphia and New York, supporting
his charges. According to his inform
alton, he said, other gallows than
that in the photograph he presented
yesterday, had been erected and used
in France.
Reed Said Probe Mistake
! The question of whether the senate
committee proposed to investigate
Senator Watsons charges was rais-
ed by Senator Reed, who declared
that in his belief the, investigation
was "a grave mistake" and an un-
fortunate precedent. The Georgia
senator's remarks, he continued,
were "priveleged with accountable
ty only to the senator's home con-
stituents." This view was challenged
sharply by Senator Brandegee, Sem
ator Lodge and others.
Senator Brandegee, disavowed
"any purpose of putting the senator
from Georgia on trial" and said the
senate had ordered an investigation
of the truth or falsity of Mr.. Wat
sono's charges.
"If true, any officer connected with
the Deeds" he stated, "are murderers
} and they ought to be hanged" said
Senator Brandegee.
Asks Senators to Think 1t Over
Senator Brandegee had his reso-
luton clothing the committee with
full authority referred to the senate
expenditures committee but did not
ask for immediate action. It was re.
ported favorably at the close of the
| days debate, but went over. Sena.
