 BONUS BILL APPROVED

Washington. June 19.-The compromise program of republican leaders to defer action on the soldiers bonus bill until after the tariff measure has been dis posed of was approved today at con- ference of m--ity senators. The vote was 9T to II. u the same time the con- terence went on record as favoring final action on the bonus before any recess or adjournment of congress
 Before adopting a resolution embodying his program, the conference rejected, 30 to o. a motion by Senator McCumber, republican. North Dakota, to lay aside the tariff for action on the bonus Mir @cCumber who has charge of both pieces pf legislation then offered the com promise resolution.
 Despite the conference action, there will be an open fight in the senate to get the bonus bill up before the senate re- turns to consideration of the tariff meas urs laid aside last week for the naval appropriation bill Several senators on both the republican and democratic sides were rCenared to offer a motion tomorrow hat the bonus be taken up immediately, but republican leaders appeared confident hat such a motion would be defeated.
 Should the majorty's compromise pro- iram be put through final senate action F-- AAAI H1AtAo III Obdb4S NOulu nOL come before September. Estimates today were that the tariff bill could not be brought To vote before Aug. at the earliest and more likely not before Aug. 15 With senators on both sSes prepared to make determined fight on the bonus, it is fig ured that it will take from month to six weeks to put that measure through.
 Some senators favorable to the bonus Tear flibuster if the bill goes over un- dl after action on the tariff. This is un- derstood 10 be one of the elements in their determination to put the senate on record now on the question of whether there Is to be further delay
 Under the resolution adopted by the majority conference the L0nus would be made the unfinished business of the sem ate immediately after final action on the tariff and 1t would be kept continuously before the body except when temporarily laid aside for matters of immediate exi- gsncy."

TO SUGGEST PLAN TO
 CHILIANS AND PERUvIANs

Washington, June 1s.-CBy The A. P.) Although various clements of uncer- tainty continued to becloud the Gillian Peruvian conference situation tonight they were not expect by the delegates to deter Secretary Hughes from sug- gesting in the very near future con- crete plan for a compromise.
 To some of those in close touch with the negotiations 1t would be no sur prise if a compromise formula were laid before the two delegations by the secre- tary tomorrow or Wednesday. It is known that some state department offi- cials believe that they already can see the way to an agreement and that MT. Hughes is anxious that the converence move forward as rapidly as possible.
 Despite the fact that the secretary has been absent from Washington since Sat urday he has given some thought to the situation during this period and in addition his assistants here have made a complete canvass ot fhe considerations involved in proposing a compromise.
 Limitations have reached conference circles that suggestion may actually be ready within few hours after Mir. Hughes rtturns to the capitol tomor- row.

WALL STREET MESSENGERS ARE
 TO WEAR BRIGHT RED COATS

New York, June 16.-New York is going to try something new tomorrow to foil it's bandits who prey on Wall street messengers hastening through the financial district each day with vast sums in securities.
 Abandoning the old theory that mes senger should look inconspicuous and unp,utocratic as possible, several brok- craze houses have decided to test the antithesis by dressing their messengers in the brightest of red coats and hitch ing five-pound portable safes around their waists.
 Security owners decided the old theory must be wrong, because hold-up men never made a mistake in the identity of their victims and by letting the whole world know a messenger when he saw one, it could run to his assistance if his head was being beaten in.
 And the safe has trick to it, too. A steel chain encircling the messengers waist under the coat, escapes through a hole on the left side and is padlockeo inside the safe, of whose combination the messenger himself is ignorant. So he has to come back to get free. as the key to the paddock is kept in the office

TRIED TO SUICIDE FOUR
 TIMES IN THREE HOURS

Atlantic City, N. J., June 19.-Four at- tempts at suicide within a space of three hours tonight brought Robert Piper, em- pioye of Philadelphia club, no closer to oblivion than a cell in the lost jail.

Then he attempted to swallow some cartridges, in the hope, he later said, that they might explode. The death holding tubes were unpalatable however, and he decided on drowning. But the ocean wat CT was disagreeably cold and he started to wade ashore, to be met by a police man; who arrested him on a charge of at- tempted suicide.
 In his cell he made rope of his bed clothing, but the choking sensation that followed hanging by his neck proved toe uncomfortable and he cut himself down.
 He will be arraigned in court tomor- row
