NEW BONUS BOND ISSUE
NECESSARY
$15, 000, 900 is insufficient
Handle Veterans Claims.

jefferson City, Sept. 9.-With
$4,000 claims paid to former
Missouri soldiers, sailors and
marines for service in the World
war, it is apparent that the work
of the Missouri soldiers bonus
commission handling the $751;
100000 bond issue will not be
completed until the middle Of
October.
The $l5,OOO,O0O issue is ex-
pected to take care of 100000
claims and all applications in ex-
cess of that number must await
the voting of another bond issue
before the money will be avail
able to pay their claims. The
constitutional convention now in
session proposes to submits an
other bond issue of approximate
~ 100000 to take care of the
deficiency.
A total Of $4,000 claims has
been filed with the commission,
which will continue to receive
them until December 81. Under
the law no applications can be
received after that date.
The payment of the remaining
1920 claims within the 10000
mark is necessarily slow, because
Of the fact the applications have
been returned for additional in
formation or affidavits are miss
ing.
An effort will be made by the
bonus commission to work out a |
plan for the classification Of all |
the claims in excess of the 1O7 900 |
that their payment can be facili-
tated when the money is avail
able.
While there will be no appro.
priation to carry on the work, it
is probable that many of the en-
ployes of the department will
continue in the hope of getting
their salaries through relief ap-
preparation in the legislature.

Il withdrawal certificate issued
Nov. o.. 1884, by Morning Star

stitutcd in the United States, it's
charter being dated April, 1894,
and Mr.. West was one Of its first
members. In 1894 he moved
from Maryland to Illinois and
took his lodge membership with
him. The certificate is neatly
framed and is splendidly pre-
served. 1t is signed by Lynde FL

Morning Star lodge is still in

AMERICA HOLDS KEY TO
EUROPE,S PROBLEMS, Is
VIEW OF COX
Former Governor Asserts Repair
ations Stumbling Block.

New York, Sept. o." Ameri-
ca holds the key to settlement of
Europe's most pressing problem
that Of reparations," Former
Gov. James M. Cox declared to-
day upon his arrival aboard tlt
French liner Paris.
Cox returned to advocate
American participation in the
League Of Nations, but declared
that the league can wait. What
Europe must settle before any
thing else, he said, is PREPARATIONS.
During his trip through Europe
the former Democratic candidate
for the presidency visited Eng
land, France, Germany and the
new countries Of central Europe
and talked with the active heads
Of governments.
Referring to the League of Ma
tons, Governor Cox said:
1.-The. league will not be q po-
litical issue in America for long.
Where are two reasons for this.
Irrefutabls logic will bring the
United States Inevitably into the
league; Europe is prepared to
meet any conditions, in my opin~
ion which the United States may
conscientiously propose.
Questions of Euruope's debt.
rehabilitation, the feeding of
hungry peoples, all hang upon q
definite and speedy settlement Of
separations, Cox said.

It Rained.

The drouth of more than Il
month was broken by a slight
shower Friday night which cooled
the atmosphere somewhat and
laid the dust but did but little
good so far as water was con-
cerned. Early Saturday night
rain commenced falling and con-
tinued practically the entire
night. The rain was very bene-
fetal to fall pastures and in some
places the stock water, which
was getting rather scarce, was
replenished.
The rain was accompanied by
q decided drop in the tempera-
ture and the hot weather is, per-
haps, thing of the past for this
year.

Manager Wilhelm has not decided on
his pitchers as yet but 1t Is certain
that he will use plenty of them. The
infield and outfield will be the same as
the one which started against the Yani-
gans Saturday. This means that Roy

that Jimmy Smith. Hack Miller and
Russell Wrightstone will see action be-
fore tho game Is over. Smith arrived
late Sunday night and took his first
workout yesterday. He need not worry
about taking off weight Instead OF
losing avoirdupois, he should put on
some.
And training will put on weight as
we'll as take it off. Exercise, and
that's all spring training is in its early
stages, will put poundage on men II

Winters has gained five pounds; Hub.

Lew TENDLER UNABLE
TO FINISH ALEX HART
Western Boxer Gets LaeIno and
Takes Count Of Nine

You're one game guy, believe
me,' was Lew Tenders parting shot
to Alex Hart, Of Lorraine, O., last
night at the conclusion of their eight
round setto rs the wind-up at the Olym-
pia. Hart smiled and to prove that he
was far from being "knocked cuckoo"
as one Of the ringside fans would have
1t, told the scribes that the folks back
home were getting peeved that he was
being labeled from Cleveland.
Philadelphia premier lightweight,
who weighed 1862 to Hart's 1882.
gave. his all in an effort to finish the
sturdy Westerner. but he proved un-
round Hart went down for nine count,
but for the remainder of the twenty
three minutes and fifty-one seconds he
was standing up taking Lewis best lefts
and rights In every legal portion of his
anatomy without a murmur.
The fight was unequal from the time
Tender slipped over his first left to the
visitors ribs. Hart never had chance,
and although he managed to slip several
telling rights to Tenders jaw the con
tender shook them off and waded in as
is his buSiness-like custom.
The semi -windup went to Battling
Mack. of Camden, who gave Patsy
Wallace q nifty lacing IN eight rounds.
In the preliminaries, Ray O'Malley
|outpointed Ping Bodie in six fast
rounds. Buddy Fitzgerald outpunched
Young Sherlock and Bobby Wilson and
Jimmy Hutchison battled to an even
break.
