EXPECT TO RELEASE
SIX ARRESTED MEN
CBy Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES, Calf, March s.
Unless additional evidence against
them is obtained the six men arrested
here Tuesday on information purport-
ing to connect them with the murder
of William Desmond Taylor, film di-
rector, will be released today, accord
ing to the police.
Their release, it was said, would
mean the police had abandoned plans
to arraign a seventh mana motion
picture actor-a possibility they an
nounced after long questioning OF
Mrs. John Rupp, housekeeper for the
men now in custody, who apprised the
detectives of her belief they were in
volved in the Taylor murder. If the
six men are eliminated from suspi-
cion the police say they again will
have before them only the problem
of trying to locate Edward F. Sands.

DECLARED CAUSE OF
INCREASING ANXIETY
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 3.-Scattering re-
ports to the newspapers indicate that
the situation in India is causing in
creasing anxiety to the authorities
particularly in the Punjab and the
United Provinces of Bengal
There Is said to be danger in Ben
gal that the members of the old rev.
olutionary party will take control of
the political movement out of the
hands of the nationalist congress
party, owing to the anger of the ex-
tremists at the postponement of civil
disobedience.
The Daily Telegraph shows that
agitation is growing in all the above
named districts, where the situation is
getting more and more out of the con-
troll of the authorities. The report of
the impending arrest of Mohandas K.
Gundhi, non-co-operationist leader is
reiterated.
The Daily Mail says that the Prince
of Wales has abandoned his intention
to visit Amritsar where it is recalled
troops fired on agitators in April
1919, killing $50 persons. The reason
for the alteration in the Princes plans
is not stated.

LLOYD GEORGE WILL
RESIGN MARCH 8 If
MISUNDERSTANDING
NV Associated Pressl

LONDON, March g. Wednesday,
March s, is the date set by Prime
Minister Lloyd George for fulfillment
of his ultimatum to Austen Chamber
lain, according to report in parlia-
mentary circles. If by then he has
not received satisfactory assurances
of the loyal support of the coalition
conservatives, it is said he will pre-
sent to the King his resignation of the
premiership, which he is now figura-
lively carrying in his pocket.
Private meetings of politicians yes
terday led to no announcement of de-
velopments tending toward solution
of the crisis. One of them, indeed,
hardened the opposition of the "die
hard" conservatives to Lloyd Georges
leadership.
This meeting was held in com
mittee room of the House of Commons
where more than eighty Conservative
members of the Commons and the
House of Lords adopted a resolution
affirming that ain order to restore
confidence throughout the country
and with a view to the approaching
general election there is urgent need
for reassertion of the conservative
and unionist principles" The meet
ing is reported farther to have decided
that the utmost shall be done te
hasten the formation of a Conserva
tive -Unionist government.
The determination of Mr.. Chamber
lain. Lord Chancellor Birkenhead and
other conservative leaders to stand by
Lloyd George is mistaken, and the
steps they will take in an attempt te
bring their followers into line are
awaited with interest. This curiosity
may be satisfied when Mr.. Chamber
lain delivers his speech at Oxford to
night, as it is generally expected he
will make a pronouncement bearing
on the political crisis.
Cabinet Meets.
The cabinet met last night but as
far as can be ascertained did not deal
with the crisis, transacting only state
business.
The anti-coalition newspapers say
the storm raised by the premier's let
ter to Mr.. Chamberlain became worse
yesterday, while Lloyd Georges
champions declare matters are some
what improved. All agree however
that nothing approaching a settle
ment has been reached and that diff
ficulties remain acute.
The Westminster Gazette charges
that the situation is a maneuver by
Lloyd George to secure the Leadership
of the Conservative party and con
tends that if this is not the object OF
his letter to Chamberlain it is gratui
tous folly on his part.

Reduces Ultimate Cost.
PRESENT BILL TUESDAY
(By Associated Press)

tby ASSOCldleO FTcsoJ
WASHINGTON, March 8. The
working out of details OF the compro-
mise soldiers bonus bill was COM
pleted today by the special sub-com-
mittee of the house ways and means
committee Republican and it was an
nounced that the re-drafted measure
would be presented to the entire COM
mittee members, Republican and Dem
ocrat, next Tuesday.
The perfected plans will be sub
mitted to the majority membership
Monday, Chairman Fordney and other
members said they did not think 1t
would be necessary to present the bill
to Republican conference but added
that the measure probably would not
be reported to the house for 10 days
or two weeks so as to give members
ample time in which to study the com.
promise.
Important Change.
One important change in the origin
al adjusted service certificate title
was made today and members esti
mated that it would reduce the total
ultimate cost of the bonus by perhaps
as much as half billion dollars.
Under this change the face value oil
the certificate would be the sum of the
adjusted service pay plus rs percent
instead of 40 percent as originally pro
posed plus interest at the rate of foul
and one-half percent compounded an
nually.
The maximum interest rate which
banks could charge in making loans tc
the holder OF the certificate was fixeo
at the amount of the rediscount rates
charged by regional and federal re
serve banks plus two percent.
