Harding Against Bonus;
Tax Burden Too Heavy.

Senator McCumber. who is in charge
of the FIVE plan soldier bonus bill now
pending In the Senate, called at the
White House soon after Charles @.
Dawes. newly selected Director OF the
Budget. had talked with President
Harding Senator McCumber explained
the provisions of the bill to the Presi-
dent and endeavored to get his active
support for the measure. Although no
official statement was made after the
conference. IL became known authorita-
lively that President Harding declined
to lend his support to the bonus bill.
There was considerable speculation
after the conference as to what the exact
position OF the President toward the
bill will be. It could not be definitely
ascertained whether the President in
tends actively to oppose the measure. but
the impression was prevalent this
afternoon that he had indicated pretty
plainly to Senator McCumber he mig I.
see nt TO use his influence against the
measure
Senator MoCumber endeavored TO
show the President that the bill would
not necessarily mean a too heavy drain
on the Treasury during the next few
years, but he apparently failed to con-
vince him. Just as he has failed 20 con-
vince many Senators who are lighting
the bill Some Senators are wanblinz
on the measure. and Senator McCumber
hoped that the Presidents influence
might bring them into line for IT, But
he was disappointed. A week ago it
seemed certain from polls of the Senate
that the bonus bill would be passed by
an easy margin. II It could be brought
to a vote. The economy drive, which
has been making more headway every
day. IS anging this situation. and inore
recent polls indicate a substantial loss or
votes. Senator McCurnber wanted the
Presidents aid in stemming this tide.
Apparently the President is entirely
willing that the bonus bill shall fail. He
is understood TO be for It I'm principle
but to take the view that the state Of
the Government finances and the present
great tax burden on the people make any
such enormous outlay of money as is
contemplated in the bill very unwise at
this time.
Senator McCuuber intends to push
the bill Just the same. But he was not
in happy frame OF mind when he left
the White House.

SEVEN DIE AS THEATRE

Score Lie Helpless Under
Ruins at Barnesboro, Pa.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YoaK HEnArp.
YOUNGSTOWN. Pa, June 23.-Acoording
to reports received here, at least seven
persons were killed tonight and many
seriously injured in the collapse of the
Grand Theatre in Barnesboro, a town
of about 1900 population in Cambria
county.
The building gave way In the early
part of the evening, at time when the
theatre was crowded with men, women
and children.
Only meagre information has been re-
ceived regarding the tragedy. because Of
a storm which has torn down telephone
wires. 1t has been necessary to relay all
messages here over the damaged wires.
making II possible to obtain only the
barest details. These. however. tell OF
several hours of terror and panic when
the building gave way as the storm
ragged and the great beams and timbers
OF the roof crashed down on the
audience.
IL appears from reports that tho ma
jority of the audience managed to reach
the open air before the building coll
lapsed entirely. Most OF those who were
killed or hurt are believed to have been
the ones knocked down by heavy plaster
and the first beams that fell.

Berlin, june 23.
Although the negotiations between
the Allies and the Germans at Oppeln
continue to drag on, the insurrectio1
in Upper Silesia is gradually being
put down. All parties now realize that
it is necessary for them to reach an
understanding so that vigorous police
measures may be put in force to re-
store order.
ing away and the men are returning
to peaceful work, but they are taking
their arms with them. The roads are
still guarded by pickets, but it is likely
that the insurgent army will soon
cease to exist as an organized fighting
force. It's skeleton continues to re-
tire before the allied troops.
The German commander in Silesia
now offers to dsband 1000 troops of
the Selbstschutzen (Self-Defence Corps)
daily as soon as the Polish insurgents
retire from the Upper Silesia Industrial
area. so that once disbandment is begun
it should be completed in ten days.
The areas already evacuated are In
tested with armed bands. which cannot
always be identified as pro-German or
pro-Polish. They are practising BAN
ditry and a strong police force is neces-
sary to cope with the situation into
which the insurrection has degenerated.
Members of the Selbstschutz are acting
as a police force. together with the Ger
man remnant of the former plebiscite
police, in the region where the inhabi-
tants are sympathetic toward Germany.
but such work by these men In the Polish
area would be impossible. since IL 1t were
attempted there the Selbstschutz would
be exterminated.
Adalbert Korfanty. head Of the Polish
insurgents. is recruiting a purely pro-
Polish militia and the insurgents are
retiring. leaving Ortswehren--that is to
say. small bodies OF men who stay IN
the villages and conceal their arms,
meanwhile remaining in liaison with
other Ortswehren in neighboring viii
lagos.
Gen. de Martins head of the Italian
section of the Interallied Commission.
has declared that the commission would
never accept Korfantys new military
police force for Upper Silesia. De Mar
tinis favors most speedy action in con-
nection with the policing of the province
so that ruin in the Industrial area may
be averted. He expressed the opinion
that the organized insurgent army and
the Selbstschutz will have disappeared
within about fortnight.
The population will not nave been
disarmed, but disarmament and the sup
preston OF banditry are things with
which we can deal later on" he said.
THE most essential thing now is that the
big towns should be relieved and that
the mines and factories should again be
put to work. as they were before the n
surrection."

WE ARE

Wolf Point realizes its good for
tune in becoming Division Headquar-
tiers and holding all its prestige as a
railroad town and gaining more. 1t
is a tense, unusual period in the his
tory of the Northwest as well as of
the country, and the railroads appear
to feel the stringency fully as much
as smaller and private business en-
terprises.
There is a general feeling of OPP
timism and growing confidence that
if we hang on until we get our sec
ond wind Montana will begin to get
on a substantial, productive basis and
then the situation will improve steadi-
ly for the railroads, the producing
classes and the business men.
One of the things essential to the
trying situation is broad guage CO.
operation and coordination between
all the parts of the great industrial
machine that is developing the
Northwest.
Wolf Point is grateful to the Great
Northern and stands ready to CO.
operate in all reasonable and prac-
teal ways with the road and its
great army of employees.

main line and most important branch
and in addition being the most i'm
portant town on the main line of the
system in Montana.
"Of course there is some justice
in the contention of the railroad that
at this time it has to take care of
all of its towns. Yet it must be re-
m%embered that in so doing it is fore
ing some inconvenience upon some
of its oldest employees, who own
their own homes here.

the subject and while the express

railroad were unanimous, just the
same unanimity was shown in the
opposition to the removal.
"The opinion of all the railroad
