Says Bill Wrong in Principle
and Fails to Pros;is,.s.. ,i,....,
Means to Raise Funds
TOO MUCH Debt NOW

Washington, Sept. 19.-President
Harding vetoed the soldier bonus bill
today. Informing congress in written
message that while he was in accord
with the "avowed purpose of the
measure he did not subscribe to its
provisions.
The executive IS action was regarded
i'll Washington as making impossible a
least for some time to come, as it ap-
peared to be almost certain that the
veto would be sustaTnedd by the sem
veto would be sustained by the sem
for tomorrow with the senate action to
follow later in the day OF on Thursday.
Mr.. Harding set forth number of
reasons for returning the bill to the
house without his approval. These in
cluded:
Failure of congress to provide a
means Of financing.
That inevitably the bonus would
mean increased taxation.
That the leg gslation would wipe out
everything thus far accomplished to
reduce government expenditures wher'
ever possible.
That peace bestowal on the ex-
service men was q "perversion Of pub
lie funds,'' and suggested that future
defense is to be 'inspired by compen
sation rather than consciousness OF
duty to flag and country"
That to take one-sixth of the tota
sum of the public debt for distribution
among less than 5,09O,O0O of the Ito,
100000 people would undermine conf
dcnce on which the nations credit was
built, and "establish the precedent OF
distributing public funds whenever the
purpose and the means affected make
it seem politically appealing to do so.
That the $40 200, 100000 of maturing
public debt in the next six years woult
be difficult to meet without add N.
the complication of attending borrow
1uRb Ou hCCOuht VI thS
That the adjusted service certificate
plan of payment. with its bank an'
government loan provisions, was littl
less that . certified inability of tn
government to pay, and invited prac
tice of "sacrificial barter" bv tn
veterans.
That the bonus did not diminish tn
country's obligation in the way o
pensions to world war veterans.
Asserting that this obligation woul
''cost more billions than i venture t
suggest,' the president declared that
rational financial policy to day is nee
essary to make the nation ready for tn
expenditure which Is certain to be re
quired in the coming years.
Mr.. Harding also called attention t
the sum now being expended for tn
care Of the diseased, disabled and dt
pendent, and asserted that the tots
cost of this work, with insurance liz
bility attending, probably would e'
eeed $25 ,OOO, 100000.

From the third floor 10 the ground
there are two stairways but Marshal
Anscow thinks they are too close to-

that an outside fire escape be con-
s;ructed on the north side OF the build

Other general conditions about the

cep;ionaliy good.
Another building used by the same

FIRST indiscret1on' Ia tho only news
paper venturing TO publish purport-
ed result OF what tho conclave ac-
cofnplishcd In its FIRST dny's sitting.
This account says that Cardinal Cas-
pArri. the Camcrlengo. and Cardinal
Lualdi, Archbishop OF Palermo. were
leading on tho FIRST ballot, with Car
dinals La Fontaine and laurent next,
there being scattered votes for Car
dinals Ascaliessi, Lega, Ratti and
Tacci-Porcelli. All these are italian
members OF tho Sacred College.
The second ballot, according TO the
newspaper was virtually unchanged
while tho last vote gave n strong ma
jority for Cardinal Mistrangelo, Arch
bishop OF Florence, many votes beinp
lost to Gasparri and Ia Fontaine.
Vatican officials who. although not
attending tho conclavc, are reputed e
be best informed, say all this IL merel,
speculation. The officials, however
are unable 10 say whether four bal

WARRANTS FOR CITY
TAX DEL|NQUENTS
All Agree on Arrests, But None
Willing to Initiate Court
Proceedings.

City officials, especially members OF
City Council. are emphatic in their
declaration that those who have faii-
ed to take out the mercantile license
required by the city for the carrying
on Of the various lines OF business are
going to be prosecuted and that no
favoritism will be shown, but to date
no step in this direction has been
taken by any department
In making up the budget for the
fiscal year Council estimated that the
revenue in fees from the mercantile
licenses would net the city approx
mntely $4,000. This estimate was
based on tho receipts last year from
this source when about $4,000 was
taken In. Up 10 the present time just
about $4,000 has been received In
these business license fees.
Council has list OF 100 delinquents
who have failed to pay or refused tc
pay. This list was turned over TO the
police department, with tho request
that those whose names appear on II
be interviewed by an officer and In
structed to make settlement This
was done and policeman did see every
person or firm named on the list. i
was then returned to Council and
about 2 of the 100 came In and paio
what they owed.
Council has decided that warrant:
shall be issued for the others, wht
have not paid. but the question ha.
come up as TO who shall actually is
sue the warrants. The police depart
ment is willing and ready to serv'
them, regardless of who may be names

failure 10 pay is violation of cit,

In the meantime no action has bee
taken by anyone toward the prosecu

YOUNG MOVIE ACTRESS
LINKED WITH TRAGEDY
Revenge or BIackmaii Back OF
Taylor Murder, Los An
geles Police Say.
by Associated Press 70 Every 1venlng.

bJ A7Wo'ih'rH irhs W fsFfft
Los Angeles. Feb. 4.-Tho true
name OF the motion picture director
who was known as William Desmond
Taylor, and who was found siain in
his apartments here Wednesday was
william Deane Tanner. according 10
a story tho Los Angeles Times pub
lished this morning.
That statement, together with one
that Taylor had been twice married.
was said by the Times TO have been
obtained In Monrovia, about 20 miles
from Los Angeles, from a woman
known ns Mrs. Ada Deauc-Tanner.
who described herself as the "de-
serted wife" Of Taylor's brother.
The mystery surrounding the shoot
ing remained unsolved today. Police
working on the case since the body
was found Thursday morning claimed,
however, they possessed n number Of
possible clews. and that suspicion was
directed chiefly toward young mo-
ton picture actress whose name they
/ withheld, and. through her, toward
another film director, likewise un-
named by them.
/ Revenge. with jealousy as the prob
( able direct Gauge. was confirmed In
the minds Of come detectives. they
say. az the motive for the killing. The
closer the dead directors life was
scruntinized. the detectives said. the
more they were led to adhere TO their
original theory.
The latest motion picture actress
80. Iras int frsrr avaft lon tr-5
said at one time 20 have been inti-
mately associated with Taylor. was
said TO DO out OF the city. but the po-
lice gave no intimation as 20 tbs
whereabouts OF the director, who's,
name was linked with hers In the
stories told the detectives by mum
ber Of persons at an inquiry extend
ing over several hours.
The motion picture directors as
sociotion, Of which Taylor was eiecte'
president three times, has formed
special investigating committee q
help the police in every possible wa,
TO solve the mystery OF the director
death. Major Maurice Campbell. wa
chosen head Of the committee.
That blackmail has been an eIener
