THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
PASS BONUS MAKESHIFT

After political juggling for many
months the United States Senate has
passed what is alleged to be SOL
diers' compensation act. The meas
ure passed by the Senate is different
in some respects from the bill passed
by the house but neither measure
provides any actual relief for the
veterans of the World War.
The sole thought of the House
and United States Senate appears to
have been to put across bonus
measure that would strengthen them
with the doughboy. 1t was absolute
ly impossible to finance the measure
under existing conditions so the make
shift certificate plan was injected in
to the bill.
This plan may make it possible for
a needy veteran to borrow a certain
per cent of the amount due him from
the government, from the banks of
the country.
President Harding has indicated
that he was in sympathy with bon
us bill that would reimburse those
for whom it was supposed to provide,
but he has rightly insisted from the
start that he was opposed to any bon
US measure that did not provide
money with which to handle the bill.
In passing the present bonus bill
congress has been cowardly in that
it has passed the buck to the presi-
dent.
Regardless of the merits of the
measure they can go back to their
constituents and tell them that they
voted for an adjusted compensation
for the veterans and in the event
that Mr.. Harding vetoes the bill,
they will endeavor to make him the
goat. It. is generally expected that
the President will veto the measure,
and very likely number of the
senators voted for it expecting
that the executive would disapprove
of it.
1t will take a brave man to veto the
measure and the Herald sincerely
hopes that the president will rise to
the occasion and kill this nefarious
makeshift piece of legislation.
The Herald sincerity believes in a
bonus for the man who served in the
World War but we also believe that
congress should provide the money
to paw for the bill

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Oct.
&C. Mrs. Jane Gibson, who claims
to have witnessed the murder of Rev.
Edward EaIl and Mrs. Eleanor r.
Mills, told newspaper man she had
identified the man she says shot the
rector ard identified the woman she
asserts was. present.
Mrs. Gibson said she recently rec
ognized the man. whose name was
called by his woman companion DUR
ing the killings willie visiting the dis
trict attorneys office. She said she
knew the woman at the murder scene
and had seen her since then
Reports Immediately were circu-
lated that the arrest of the woman
prominent since the start among
those under investigation-was i'm
minent.
Wilbur A. Mott, special prosecutor
in charge of the case, was quoted TO
the effect that there might be an ar
rest within an hour. But last night
Mr.. Mott added to his quoted utter
anee a phrase which he says he used
in the first instance-"or in two
weeks" -
He intin1ated although he would
Hat say definitely that no arrest
would be made until the case had
.Ssolrllaid before the Somerset county
grand Jury and an indictment--.or
indictments returlaad. He declined
to say when he would 80 before that
body.
While it was true, Mr.. Mott said
that Mrs Gibson, farmer an6 pig
raiser, had signed statement yes
terday, that document did not con-
tain anything that she had not al
ready told the authorities and he
could see.no need at present for an
immediate arrest. He declared,
however, that he was ready to order
one or several arrests without wait
ing for grand jury action if circum-
stances made haste advisable.
Mr.. Mott expressed skepticism
as to Mrs. Gibson's Identification in
her statement of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall-victim with Mrs.
Eleanor R. Mills, of the slayers' fury
because that Identification was
made on the strength of a photo
graph. Mrs. Gibson never had seen
the rector before the night of the
shooting, he said.
