The service pay bill. fixing a. new

public health service, was passed by
the Senate Tuesday. The Senate
amended the bill as 1t passed the

ments.
Provisions of the bill are effective

Chairman Wadsworth of the special
committee in charge Of the bill
claimed that the measure would save
the government a total OF nearly Sl6'-
900 600 in 1923. as compared TO the
present rates of pay. but ii will cost
approximately sI.G00,0G0 more than
the 1908 basis, computed on the pres

The chairman said it guarded
against what he termed the stag

officer or man automatically will
receive increases in salary after

tion, the government is protected

BeardstoWn, Ill, April 22.-Water
rose in Beardstown streets to with
in three inches of its highest level
this morning. The Beardstown
food relief committee added to its
appeal for financial aid request
that bed clothing be sent for flood

All relief in the city is now un-

tee, which today paid tribute to the
energetic work of the Salvation
Army, which will distribute the bed

for.

SLAYER, DRUNK,
FREED BY JURY

Chicago, April 22.-The recon-
mendation of a coroner's jury that
a confessed slayer be released on
the ground that he was 'intoxi-
Gated and therefore not criminally
responsible" will be investigated
today, Coroner Hoffman announced.
The verdict of the jury, returned
yesterday, recommended release of
Fritz Meinshausen, who had signed
affidavits acknowledging the slay-
ing of Mrs. Anna Peters, dress
maker. She was shot and killed
on April while fitting Meinshaus-
ems wife
"The law makes no difference
for intoxication in killings" Cor
oner Hoffman said, so this verdict
easily becomes the most astonish-
ing any coroner's jury ever brought
in during my period in Office"
Deputy Coroner Seis, who con-
Quoted the inquest, suggested that
the jury was actuated by a sense Of
protest against prohibition and the
moonshine liquor which has fol-
lowed its so-calIed enforcement
Police say that they will recon-
mend that Meinshausen be held to
the grand jury on a murder charge.

MORGAN BID
is PROBLEM
FOR HUGHES
Allied Invitation to Amer
ican Banker Delicate
Question.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, d. c., April 22.-The
United States government has a
rather delicate question to solve in
connection with the invitation ex-
tended personally to ]. p. Morgan
to be a member of subcommittee
of bankers selected by the repara-
tions commission to get advice on
the subject of an international
loan.
America is not officially repre-
sented on the reparations commits
sion though President Harding IS
hoping congress will give him the
power to make such an appoint
ment The committee of bankers
is in a sense an unofficial body and
cannot of course commit the United
States government even though 4
prominent and influential banker
shall concur in the decisions of the
committee and the commission it
self But in view of the expressed
policy of President Harding and
Secretary of State Hughes request
ing American firms to consult the
government here before agreeing
to any flotation of foreign loans,
Mr.. Morgan is morally bound to
ask the consent of the department
of state. Rather the question will
be whether the department of state
has any objection to his accept
ance of the invitation extended to
him-for the government will be in
the position of approving or disap-
proving Mr.. Morgan's task on the
committee of allied bankers.
Interests interviewer.
Mr.. Morgan's firm lent large
sums of money to the allies before
the United States entered the war
and has a natural solicitude con-
corning the future of European fin
ances and especially the payments
of German reparation money. The
Morgan firm has floated its loans
among thousands of American in
vestors and is as anxious as a pri-
vate firm can bes that payment be
made on the principal and interest
in due time. After the Morgans
ceased financing British and
French purchases in America, the
United States government extend
ed many billions of dollars Of
credit to the allies, too. So the
Morgans on the one hand and the
American government on the other
are inevitably, concerned with what
goes on in the reparations commits
sion where the priorities on pay
ments from Germany to the allies
are determined. To a certain eX-
tent the interest of the private

John Gilroy ProUes
He's An Honest
Robber.'

San Francisco, Call lif.y4April a..
John NJ. Gilroy is a free citizen to-
day despite the fact that yesterday
when he was tried in superior
court here on a charge of robbery,
he admitted from the witness stand
that he put on mask, took a re
volver and held up a storekeeper.
The jury acquitted him as an hon
est robber.''
Gilroy told the jury this story.
@BOrrOWs" Six Dollars.
He had been out of work for
some time; his wife was i'll; his
children hungry. He took his re-
volver and left the house. He went
to the soft drink establishment of
William Moorman, masked himself
and held up Moorman. He took Sc
from the till, telling the proprietor
he needed that amount for his fam
lily and that he would return it
when he got job.
Gilroy found work next day. Out
of his first weeks pay he paid
Moorman the Sc, then he went to
the hall of justice and surrendered.
Moorman confirmed the story and
the jury was out only long enough
to elect foreman and take a
standing vote.

executive.
The record of the last two years
has been pleasing to the people of
Jewett. During that time there has
been not a single arrest made with
in the town limits on felony
charge. There have been improve
ments of every character and even
the men found little to criticise,
although certain of the town ordi-
nances enacted by the women have
come in for criticism.
"Had Enough.
Last week when the time came
for filing for reelection the women
refused. They very frankly said
that they had had enough for the
time being. They suggested that
the men take another trial at the
job of running city affairs. And
each of the women, with the ex-
ception of Mrs. Atkinson, backed
their husbands for their own par
ticular position. All were elected
with r. B. Adams as mayor.
I'VE are glad to be through" said
Mrs. Atkinson today in relinquish-

rience in politics and in municipal
affairs has been sufficient to con-
vince US, at least, that we don't
want any more, We are proud of
our record. We are turning back
to the men a city that is cleaner
and better fit to live in. We have
established standard that will
have to be maintained by the men.
If they do so we will let them con-
tinue. If they do not when the

After all, the women know what
is best for a city if they usually
are anxious and willing to have the

WOMAN CHOSEN
POLICE JUDGE
WON'T ACCEPT
Sole Female Winner
IN Freeport Refus-
es a Job.

ILL.,, April %. - Mrs
Mildred Brandt, elected to office on
a ticket which she had opposed
during the recent campaign of
Winslow, has announced that she
will not accept the position of po-
lice magistrate to- which she is en-
titled as the result of the balIoting.
Mrs. Brandt supported a wom-
ans ticket during the campaign in
opposition to a mans ticket. The
election resulted in a sweeping vic
tory for the mems ticket, and also
in the election of Mrs. Brandt,
whose name was written in by the
voters on the mems ticket. She
was elected by five votes over Mrs.
William Steere, the candidate for
police magistrate on the woman's
ticket.
Gives No Reason.
Having slipped into office Mrs.
Brandt now declares she will not
qualify. She offers no reason for
her refusal. She is AZ years old,
a housewife. and the mother of two
AuoDduu, SAS1i ICS
Brandt, owner of a trucking bust
ness, offers no objection to her TAX
ing the position if she desires.
Winslow residents explain the
peculiar election result in this way:
Mrs. Brandt was an active partici-
pant in the campaign for the Peo-
ple's ticket composed entirely of
women. Also in the field was a
Citizens ticket composed of men.
On the ballot prepared by the city
clerk, the mems ticket contained
two vacancies, one of which was
for police magistrate. In this va
cancy the voters apparently wrote
in the name of Mrs. Brandt.
This Woman Is Different.
Miss Katheryn Krape, who was
elected to the Office of police mag
istrate in the village of Lena, has
taken different attitude from that
of Mrs. Brandt
Certainly I intend to qualify,
and perform the duties of the Of
fee" Miss Krape said. Would it
be fair to my friends, having per-
mitted my name to go on the bal
lot, to reject the office after they
elected me to it?''
Miss Krape has served as county
superintendent of schools and is af-
filiated with number of clubs.
