Voting in Tour Contest

Bonus of 1000 Ballots Offered by Peters Trust Com

Meet at Hotel Observation-Disclosures of Devas-

Voting began yesterday with rush
in the Omaha Bee contest for repre-
sentation in the National Good Will
Delegation which is to go to France
under the auspices of the American
committee OF which Miss Anne
Morgan is chairman.
Spurred by an enthusiastic meet
ing at Hotel Fontenelle yesterday,
which was attended by the candi-
dates and their managers, a big eff
fort is being made by all the con-
testants to win the bonus offered by
the Peters Trust company OF 1000
votes to be divided equally among
the first four who receive 1000 votes
in their individual .canvasses.
The announcement of this special
bonus caused several candidates to
come to the meeting with their 1000
votes already secured; and in order
that all the others might have an
equal chance it was decided by the
committee that anyone who pre-
sented her 1000 votes as a result of

Chairman McCumker Predicts
Measure Will Be Reported
to Senate Within Next
Week.
To Sidetrack Tariff Bill

Washington. April 27-Such salts
factory progress is being made in
redrai,ing the bonus bill tina, Sena-
tor McCumber, North Dakota. CHAIR
man OF the finance committee. pre-
dicied that the measure would be be-
fore the senate with the committees S
endorsement within week.
The tariff will then be sid-,racked
and efforts made to put the bonus
bill through with alr-possible speed.
IL is impossible TO forecast how
much time will be consumed in de-
bate. but some senator's believe that
discussion will be limited.
The finance committee is trying to
keep the annual cost OF the bonus
within a Sl00.000,000 limit, hoping in
this way to minimize the administra-
tons opposition to the measure. They
propose to hold down the cost by linz
ting the borrowings which may be
made against whatever character OF
securities il is decided TO give the ex-
service men.
To Submit Estimates.
An informal conference OF some
OF the republican meiAbers OF the
finance committee was held today.
Another such conference will be held
tomorrow at which time a decision
may be reached upon some OF the
outstanding features OF the bonus
legislation. 1t is expected that new
estimates as to the cost OF the bill,
which the proposed notifications,
will be submitted by the Treasury
department at tomorrow's meeting.
In a general way the committee
seems to have made up its mind not
to restore the cash bonus provision,
to retain the $50 maximum applicable
TO those entitled to cash bonuses,
to eliminate the land settlement
feature and to modify the adjusted
service certificate scheme so that i
will be more on the order Of a ~
years paid-up insurance policy. but
with some sort OF loan provision
retained. The date when the ad-
iusted compensation becomes avail
able probably will be January, 1928,
instead of October, 1922.
Hold Down Expense.
1t is the purpose of the commit
tee to make the expense of the bo-
nus as light as possible during the
first year: Il
AS to the financing OF the bonus,
the committee is determined not to
impose any new tax such as sales
tax and to have in view the use of
principal or interest of the foreign
debt with possible additional author
ity for the issuance of certificates
of indebtedness to finance imme-
date needs.
Opposition to cash bonus is ex-
pressed by Senator Myers of Mon
tana, democrat, in a letter to John
w. Mahan, commander Of the Dis
abled Veterans of the World War
of Montana, who had forwarded
resolutions Of the organization con-
demning his stand on the. PROPOSE

pletely vindicated OF charges of mis-
conduct in office in report that

Harding by Attorney General
Daugherty and which is now await
ing executive approval.
Brought by Lawyer. D..
The charges were filed last year
by William S. Fleming, an American
lawyer, practicing in the Chinese
court.
Because Of the extra-tcrritorial ma
ture OF the court in China, the pro-
ceedings against the former Omahan
were initiated with the State de-
partment and referred by it to tho
Department of Justice for investiga-
ton. Mr.. Daugherty's agents have
been at work on the inquiry for sew
eral months, during which time
Judge Lobingier has been in Wash
ington.
After the charges we're filed Mr..
Fleming appeared i'll Judge Lob
ingier's court in the trial OF a case
and spoke his mind rather freely.
He was sentenced to six months I'M
prisonment for contempt. The case
was taken to the court of appeals SIT
ting in San Francisco. During the
tendency of the appeal Judge Lob
ingier granted bail.
Judge Granted Bail.
The report of the attorney gen
eral closely follows recent decision
of the court Of appeals unanimously
sustaining the action of the lower
court on every point in the contempt
case.
The decision was rendered by
Judge Gilbert, Judges Ross and
Hunt concurring. Two excerpts from
the opinion are as follows:
"The motion and the accompanying
affidavit were not only disrespecttul,
but were scandalous, insulting, Ii
belous and contemptuous. They were
a direct affront to the court and their
tendency was, obviously to obstruct
the administration of justice"
"The punishment was lawfully I'M
posed in the exercise of the courts
power to preserve its dignity and
decorum in the administration OF
justice. The judgment is affirmed"
The motion referred to- was for
change Of venue and the affidavit
contained the charges previously
filed with the State department.
