REPORT BONUS BILL;
/. WARNINGS UNHEEDED
Belief in Washington Measure
Will Become a Law Despite
Harding Opposition.

Washington, March 15.--By vote
Of 10 To the Ways and Means Commit
tee yesterday reported the Bonus bill
slightly amended, after hearing Secre-
tary Mellon, Controller OF the Currency
Crissinger and w. p. G. Harding, Gov
crnor OF the Federal Reserve Board. tes-
tify that bonus legislation would rctard
the return OF prosperity and affect
banking conditions in the United States.
Two Republican members of the COM
mittee, Representative Tilson of Connec-
ticut and Treadway of Massachusetts,
joined with these three Democrats in OPP
posing tho bill, Representatives Garner
Of Texas, Collier of Mississippi and
Kitchin of North Carolina. Mr.. Kitchin,
who is i'll, had his vote recorded by
proxy.
The motion TO raise the necessary rev.
cnue Ivy sales tax was defeated by n
vote of 10 TO g. Those voting for sales
tax as n revenue raiser, as favored by
President Harding were: Representa-
tives Tilson, Mott, Bacharach, Long
worth and Watson, all Republicans.
Upon the suggestion OF Governor Har-
ding OF the Federal Reserve Board the
bill was amended TO permit the assign
ment of the loans to he made by the
banks upon the adjusted service certi6-
Gates. The original bill prohibited the
banks rediscounting loans upon the GER
tlhcates. Under the terms of the amend
ment these loans can tie rediscounted
in member Federal Reserve banks but
not in the Federal Reserve banks.
The plan TO force through the bonus
bill under suspension of the rules has
been nban doned, according to Republi-
can leaders. The present plan is to ask
! for rule some time next week which
will limit the debate to two days and
prevent amendment. Speaker Gillett is
| opposed to bonus legislation, and Re
publican leaders declared tonight that
they did not intend TO give him an OPP
portunity Of refusing TO recognize n
motion to suspend the rules on suspen-
sion day. Reports are that he would
refuse TO entertain such motion and
therefore the plan Ia ask for special
rule has been agreed upon as the safest
move.
Indications are that the bill as amended
will he passed by the House without
more than fifty votes in opposition anc
that the Senate will amend it by auth
orizing the Secretary Of the Treasury tC
sell Treasury certificates to meet the
expenses in 1925. Republican Leaders
are of the opinion that the House vii
accept this amendment and that tn,
President, despite his reported objec
: tons, will approve such bill If tn
President should veto the hill the Re
publican leaders are confident they ca
pass it over his veto. Whatever the re
suit of the several legislative moves,
is apparent 10 unbiased observers tina
: the Republican Party faces q very seriou
situation as the result of the opposin
forces in the party.

slain. His Horse Goes Home.

Cumberland, Md. - The body of
George Norris, about SO years old,
farmer of the Little Orleans district,
was found in the road near his home
by member of his family, after his
horse had returned riderless in the
night. There were three gunshot
wounds in the body, and as many
empty shells were found near it.
Norris had gone to Little Orleans.
1t is said there had been resentment
expressed against him because Of his
disapproval of lawlessness.
An aged man, a trackman for the
Western Maryland railway, had been
beaten up by several youths, and citi-
zens who had been summoned by a
magistrate to make arrests had refus-
ed to give aid. Norris is said to have
condemned their attitude.
The man beaten is said to have died.
His assailants are reported to have
been brothers, who had been drinking
moonshine.
