HARDING is ASSAILED FOR HIS
STAND ON SOLDIER BONUS BILL:
LA Toilette ATTACKS MELLON
Senator Stanley, Democrat, Kentucky, Criti-
cises Presidents Order to Recormit; Wis
consin Solon Says Treasury Head Takes the
Position That Wealth Cannot Be Made Pay.
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Washington, Nov. 5.-President
Harding was assailed in the senate
tonight by Senator Stanley, demo-
crat, Kentucky, for what he de-
scribed as the "order" given to the
senate to recommit the soldier
bonus bill.
Senator Stanley declared there
was only one power on earth that
could have made the president
turn high back" on the 10000 900
former service men. That power,
he said, was "the silent, insiduous
and pitiless power of mammon,
that knew what it could do, that un-
derstood its authority.
None of the crown heads OF
Europe would have dared to dc
what the president dared do" Sem
ator Stanley said. adding that the
event would go down as "blot on
history"
The senator from Missouri (Mr.
Reed)," the speaker continued,
has given you tthe relublicans)
an opportunity to show whether
you represent your constituents or
whether you represent Wall street
by the proxy of Mellon and the

tunity to say whether you iiv9 up

publican party that has always
been the friend of the soldier, or

WITHOUT
CLUES TO MASKED MAN

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 5.-Au-
thorities announced late tonight
they were without definite clues as
to a masked man who boarded an
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
passenger train from California
near Ottawa Junction, Kans., early
today and looted the mail car after
compelling a mail clerk to bind six
of his fellow workers. Contents of
eight sacks of maii were taken. No
estimate of the value of the haul
was available.
The robbery occurred while the
train had stopped at the junction
for coal. The man, according to
the clerks, apparently boarded the
train at Queremo, ,Kans. Masked
and armed with a revolver, the
bandit directed the six mail clerks
to put up their hands. He took a
revolver from e. e. Doudna, of
Kansas City, who was in charge of
the registered mail pouches. Then
he compelled Doudna TO tie the
others with wire.
Forcing the clerks to lie on the
floor the robber spent almost an
hour ransa cking the registered mail
pouches. He leaped from the train
when it reached Holiday.

president acted only after he had
been urged to do so by senators

nearly one-third of the democratic
