Party Victory on the
Tariff
iRE AsancIniel Pressl

Washington, June 17.-The SOL
dier bonus fight broke unexpectedly
in the senate today wnen democratic
senators attacked the reported COM
promise agreement of republican
leaders not to call up the measure
next Monday, but to have it follow
the tariff bill. For two hours the
party leaders clashed, but with no
effect except for additional indica-
tions that the republican plan would
prevail. Open declarations, however,
were made that an effort would be
made in any event to call up the bill
next week and the situation was fur
ther complicated by failure of the
senate today to dispose of the naval
bill, which went over until Monday,
largely because of today's protracted
discussion of the bonus.
The senate fray followed confer
ences between President Harding and
republican leaders at which the pres
ident was assured that Mondays con-
ference of the republican senators
would result in holding the tariff be-
fore the senate, but with declara.
ton that the bonus shoul dbe pass.

Railroad Yards and
Met Smith
1Rx Assncinted Pressl


Jacksonville, June 17.-George G.
Smith, member of the city fire de-
partment, whose body with bullet
wound above the heart, was found in
the railroad yards Wednesday morn
ing, met his death when he attempt
ed to take advantage of youngster
just arrived in the city, according to
story told by Homer Rawls, 16, of
Columbus, Ca, who surrendered to
the authorities today,
The youngster was held pending
an investigation while authorities as
serted they were strongly inclined to
believe him. The boys attorney said
he would institute habeas corpus pro
ceeds Monday if he were not released
Smith had apparently been dead
before that time.
several hours when his body was
found near the, Union depot by a
railroad switching crew early
Wednesday morning.
Young Rawls was accompanied by
his relatives and his attorney when
he surrendered this afternoon, said
he was employed by the Central of
Georgia railroad Columbus. He
came here Tuesday morning to visit
his uncle, G. B. McElroy, foreman in
the boiler department of the Sea-
board Air Line shops. His mother
followed the next day.
Smith Attacked Boy.
Tuesday night, the boy said, he
decided to come up town. When he
started to return he lost his way
and found himself near the Union
station. In this predicament he was
accosted by Smith, who asked the To-
cation of a certain hotel. The boy
said that he was accosted by Smith,
who asked the location of certain
hotel. The boy sal dthat he was a
stranger and himself needed infor-
nation. Smith offered to start him
in the right direction to his uncle's
home, and to do SO they set about to
cross the railroad yards as means
of saving time. Whe ndeeply in the
yards Smith confronted him with a
pistol and ordered that the boy give
up his money. The lad, much small
err in statue than Smith, grappled
! with him. Subsequently Smith was
( tripped and fell to the ground the
! boy coming from the struggle with
hi sassailant's pistol. He fired one
time and ran home.
! For two days, he says, he kept his
his secret, brooding all the while at
the turn the official investigation
into Smiths death was taking. Two
men and a woman. had been arrest
ed. Thursday the boy confessed to
| his uncle and mother. At first not
believing him, they were brought
around to the full realization and
then other members of the family
lwere summoned to determine the
course of action. This course today
led to an attorney who suggested
THAT the boy Immediately surrender.
Of the three arrests in connection
with the case, vagrancy charges were
placed against R. L. Hunt and F. A.
Williams, while authorities indicated
they would release Mrs. Estelle Gil
der, a waitress. Hunt is said to have
been at raveling salesman. Mrs.
elders arrest came about in the be-
lief that she knew something of the
mans death.
Smith was married and had two
children.

AMUSING CRITICISM.

1s is somewhat amusing to read criticism of Thomas J. spellacy's sug- gestion for legali2ing the manufacture of beer and paying the soldiers bonus from the revenue the government would derive therefrom, on the ground that the bonus and the pro hibitlon question are separate issues
 The President of the United States, praised to point of aduation by some of these critics, suggested that sales tax might be imposed 10 pay a soldiers bonus, One would think that the question of sales tax and the bonus were two distinct issues quite as much as the matter of legal izing beer and the granting of a bonus.
 When it is suggested that a bonus be paid out of the money derived from debts owed to the United States by foreign nations there may well come the criticism that such action would be promising the former serv- ice men a bonus when it is well known that the provision for its pay ment was worth nothing. The bonus would mean nothing if the foreign debts were to be relied upon for its payment Our foreign debtors can't pay, and the wisdom of trying to make them pay at once is doubted It is even suggested that the United States would lose more than she would gain by insisting upon pay ment
 But it is evident that the President will ask Congress to modify the Vol stead act at least as far as allowing foreign ships to carry liquor in our waters, if the recent ruling of Judge Hand Is affirmed. It is thought pos sible that further modification of the Volstead act will come, favoring American shipping. From that modi- fication may come easily a modifca- ton as to the alcoholic content Of legal beverages Though separate issues MT, Spellacy's suggestion does not promise the soldiers something impossible of fufillment.

LLOYD GEORGE IS WISE,

Naturally we in the United States are inclined to think that Lloyd George is wise He believes sincerely that England should pay the United in the United States as the power that can make the League of Nations suc- cessful His attitude is most com plimentary to the United States, and people of this country have more sympathy with him, because he com- pines liberalism with conservatism than do the Conservatives of England who have never been able to get over the fact that his origin was compara- lively humble.
 But the feeling in England in the upper classes" was strong that il would be better for England and possibly for Lloyd George himself, were he to resign. A personal letter written by an American in close touch with that feeling states, Even his friends believe he ought to re- sign" The antipathv in England to any coalition" clouds the vision of Lloyd George as he is.
 We should not attempt to impose upon Germany any payment which is beyond her ca apacity. What is within her capacity she ought to pay" This is Lloyd Georges statement. It is couched in general terms but those terms are definite enough to show his proper belief that the accentuating of the reparation payments by Germany, to the point where she cannot obtain financial help from outside, is the attitude that prevents Germany's eventually paying what she owes. Had it not been for Lloyd Georges attitude Frances insistence would have hastened the crisis in which Germany is today. It is from no love of Germany that one may insist the separations should be left as a secondary issue until Germany has obtained the financial help she needs, and which would be impossible were the separations to remain a first mortgage on Germany's assets. The motive for this stand is a wish to see Germany pay her just debts; to make her "come across" This she will never be able to do until recognition is ginen to the advice of American bankers, indirectly approved by Sec retary of State Hughes. that Ger many he allowed to mortgage her assets for purposes other than repa- rations in order to place her in a position where sine can earn enough to pay what she owes.

 Seriously, however, in these days scenario and short story writing and for other things which interest people as possible means of livelihood, there is no reason why a college of baseball might not be success. And seriously, too, there is no reason why some attention to the development of the mind, including the habit of quick thinking. might not be advantageous.

RED GROSS ROLL

Local Branch Holds Election,
 Naming C. L. Sheldon

At the meeting of the local branch of the American Red Cross society held last night, c. l.. Sheldon was elected president to succeed Paul K. Rogers, resigned. It was also an- nounced that the annual roll call for members will begin this year on Mo- vember II.
 Other officers were chosen as fol- lows, all being re-elections:
 Vice. chairman, Mrs. l. D. Russell; treasurer, Leon A. Sprague, and sec retary Earl Kisselbrack. The officers with the following make up the ex- ecutive committee: Mrs. J. H. Robin son, William r. Brooks and E. W. IT, vins.
 The executive committee and the following make up the board of di- rectors: Rev. Lucyan Bojnowsli, Rev, John T. Winters, Fred G. Platt, Paul K. Rogers, George P. Spear, Peter Crona, Morris B. Sake Charles r. Bennett and Dr. Fred P. Lee.
 The chapter voted contribution of $500 for relief in Smyrna. President Paul K. Rogers read his report for two years-~
 Report of President.
 The report of the president for the year follows:
 During the last two years the work of the New Britain Chapter of the American Red Cross has been coh- fined almost entirely to the home service department. In the autumn of 1920, on account of the extremely severe industrial depression the home service department was overwhelmed with calls for aid from ex-service men who had been laid off on account of lack of work. This of course was true to some extent of all mechanics but the unemployment situation was particularly hard on some of the eX- soldiers, especially those with de- pendents. as. after their discharge
New Britain herald., 1922-10-26

from service in 1919 they had had only few months of full time work at high wages as compared with other workmen who had had several years of good times in which to make their savings against period of depression and unemployment. The home service department did it's best to meet the difficult situation. Extreme care was taken in the dis- tribution of funds but even so within short time the need had grown to such point that over s2,000 month was being distributed. In addition to this the claims for compensation, medical service and vocational train ing were constantly increasing in vol ume and the workers in this depart ment had their hands more than full.
 AS the calls for financial help con tinued to increase it became evident that the treasury of the local chapter would not be adequate to meet the situation and in the spring of H92l the matter was brought to the atten- ton of lhe city which appropriated the necessary funds and the work of
 
 the municipal home service commit tee. This committee was appointed by the mayor and included in it's membership representatives of the ex-service mems organizations, also Mir. Kisselbrack, the chairman of our home service. This committee first began to function in May, 1921. By the first of July it took over nearly all the work that our home service department had been doing and our office in the City Hall was closed on that date. I feel that the new com mittee has carried on the work very successfully indeed. A few cases have come up which under the regu-
 ations of the national Red Cross were entitled to aidS but which the municipal home service committee did nottfeel itself authorized to help. The home service department has funds available for such cases and Mir kisselbrack through his dual positio1 is able to see that they re- ceive the attention that they should. I think we can feel that the obliga tions to the soldiers undertaken by the Red Cross during the war have been fulfilled by our local chapter.
 Tt has been suggested by the At lantic division that we organize To- cally a public health service such as has been started by chapters in other localities. However, similar work has
