SOLDIERS BONUS
POLL TAKEN FOR
DESIRES Of MEN
Preference on Proposed Bill Varies
According to Locality; Some
Want Cash, Others Insurance,
Some Homes.

indianapolis, Feb. 1i.-What per.
ceniage OF ex.soldiers will choose
cash in the event compensation
passes congress? That question is
troubling legislators at Washington.
Results of referendum votes con-
Quoted by the American Legion in
widely separated localities indicate
that the choice of the five provisions
of the bill would largely depend on
the varying geographical and eco
nomic conditions existing in the
different sections of the country.
More than so per cent of 5000
Pennsylvania veterans chose paid
up insurance in recent poll. On
the other hand, two-thirds of the
CLOG Iowa ex-soldiers that voted
chose to receive cash. This fact
has been attributed to the hardships
accruing from agricultural depres-
SION there. The referendum was
conducted by the Iowa Legionnaire,
an official Legion publication and
showed the state to be strong for
compensation, only two negative
votes having been cast.
If Kansas balloting were to be
taken as criterion, less than one
half of all ex-service men would ask
for ready cash. AT Wichita sc per
cent of Legion members signified
they wished cash. and at Atchison
35 per cent. The latter post fav-
ored paid-up insurance, while Wich-
ita cast a majority for the home and
farm aid feature of the bill
In preparing an estimate for the
house ways and means committee
fiscal officers Of the army, navy and
marine corps worked on the basis
that so per cent Of army men and
rs per cent of navy men would elect
cash settlement On this division
the cost Of compensation was put
at $2,500,000,000 Legion officials
took issue with the navy and marine
corps on the Is per cent estimate.

made part of it working in the
stockyards and tie rest through
speculations. He claimed no previ-
Gus business experience, and said
the only other work he had done
was in connection with obtaining
members for the Boy Scouts.
Under Judge lands questioning
he maintained that his operations
were entirely legal that the money
entrusted to his care was given him
for speculation purposes and that
willie it was unfortunate he should

recouped all his losses if the re-

DANIELS THROWS
BOMB INTO CAMP
CHICKASHA FANS
With Progress Made Toward Raising
$4,000 for Baseball League
Prexy Says Franchise
Given to Wlnder.

T.. A. Daniels, president Of tie
Western association, today heaved
a bomb into tho camp of the Chick
asha baseball fans when In tele-
phone conversation with Clint G..
steinberger, president of the Chick
asha Baseball association, he de-
clared that the directors OF the
Western association at Tulsa, voted
down the proposal to continue
Chickaeaa as member Of the
league.
Mr.. Daniels declared over the
phone that the directors voted to al
low Ray Winder, owner OF the
Chickasha club last year, to retain
the franchise and give him ten
more days in which to place IT,
This action, it is pointed out, leaves
Chickasha out In the cold again
after mudh progress had been made
here toward raising $4,000 to sup
port the team which Daniels prom
sed to put here for the season Of
1922.
Press reports coming from the
Tulsa meeting, said nothing about
Winder having been gwen the fran
cnise, but did state that in all prob
ability Chckasha would be back in
the league in the event that Joplin
remained in the Western league.
l'he reports from the meeting stated
that from all appearances the West
oin association you'd star the 1922
season with but one change, that
being the transfer Of the Ufumrigh!
franchise to McAlester
That Joplin will remain the
Western league, was made plain bv
the vote yesterday or last night. of
the stockholders of the association
in Joplin to retain the Western
league berth. In the event that the
Western association moguls gave out
the correct dope as to what trans-
pired in their Sunday meeting at
Tulsa, taen Chickasha would have,
according to it, but to raise the
$4,000 to meet Daniels proposition
Events this morning, however
bring Ray Winder into the deal
again, which according to Mr.. Stein
berger, leaves but one thing for
Chickasha to do and that is to fight.
,"We can't fool around about this
thing any longer said Mr.. Stein
berger today 1T looks like some
one has been stringing us. OF
course the league directors might
have voted the franchise to Winder.
They did it once before. | am not
disputing the statement of Mr. Dan
iols to the effect that he was voted
down in the meeting.
cts up to us to fight now and
before the Daniels proposition caIne
up here, We were authorized by the
Chickasha fans to go ahead and
fight Well do it now. The attor-
ney WHO is acting for us is out of
town but is expected back in the
city this evening. When he returns,
we will file suit against the league
for the recovery Of Chickasha's
franchise"
The threat made by Chickasha to
carry the fight into the courts has
been treated more or less as a joke
around the. circuit, but the president
Of the local association plans now
to make it a reality and quit swap
ping proposals with the Western as
sociation officer.
