HARDING ASKS BONUS MEN
HOW 1T CAN BE PAID

by some OF the posts of the American
Legion"
Senator Nelson called attention to
the pathetic condition of the Confed-
crate soldiers on the losing side in
the civil war.
"These men, he said, went home
to a devastated country and got no
ralief whatever. To be sure, their
States eventually passed laws provid-
ing for crippled and disabled veter-
ans, but beyond that none of them got
any help. The men who went over to
France and were disabled should be
cared for. / am as anxious as any
body to do justice by them. Then If
we could segregate them / should be
very glad to do something for the SOL
diers who actually did any fighting
who participated in the st. Mihiel
salient. in the campaign around Cha
teau-Thierry and the great final drive
in bottling up the Germans in the Ar
gonne.
MY heart goes out to the fighting
soldiers, but 1 declare my heart can
not go out to the 1000, 900 soldiers who
stayed here in America in comfortable
barracks and did nothing but drill and
stand camp guard occasionally

DEBT FUNDING BILL
REACHES PRESIDENT
House Agrees to Senate
Amendments by an Over
whelming Majority.

WASHINGTON. Feb. ASSOCIATED
Press) Congress finally cleared the
way to-day for the opening of negotia-
tions looking to the refunding of the
eleven billion allied debt.
The House. by an overwhelming ma
jority, agreed to the Senate amend
ments to the refunding bill and the
measure was sent to the President. Mr..
Harding is expected to approve it, as
he did not press his objections to the
Senate changes after he had discussed
them to-day. first with Chairman Ford
ney of the House Ways and Means
Committee and later with Secretary
Mellon, who is to head the commission
of five authorized to conduct the nego-
tiations with the debtor nations.
1t was made known to-day at the
White House that Mr.. Harding planned
to name two members of the Cabinet
and member each of the Senate and
House as the other commissioners. There
was no indication who would be named,
but among those mentioned elsewhere
were Secretaries Hoover and Weeks,
Senator Watson (Ind) and Representa-
tive Longworth (Ohio).
While plans for conducting the nego-
tiations with the debtor nations have
not yet been formulated, it was said
in informed quarters that they prob
ably would be conducted both in this
country and abroad. 1t has been pointed
out that Great Britain advanced to her
dom ions and allies Including France
AMI Italy, approximately s9.500. .000, 900
while France lent nearly $4,000. 900 o06
to her Allies. principally Russia and
Italy.
AS finally enacted the debt refundine
bill was unsatisfactory both to the Ad
ministration and Republican leaders OF
| the House. but 1t was said that objec-
| tions to it were not pressed because
of the delay that would be involved In
sending it to conference for the ironing
out of differences between the tive
houses.
Chief objection centered on the Senate
| amendment requiring that the refunded
obligations mature not later thar June
Is, 1947 and that the minimum inter
est rate be AZ per cent. Beth the
President and Secretary Mellon wer,
represented as preferring a free hand
for the commission as to the life of the
bonds and the interest rate.
The Treasury secretary was said tc
have held. however. that these lmita.
tions would not be insurmountable in
the refunding OF the debt of the larger
rations and that II it should develop
that the limitations prevented the re-
funding of the debts of the smaller and
newer nations the commission could seek
additional authority from Congress.

MURPHY WON'T AID
HYLAN'S PORT PLAN
Tammany Leader Tells Demo
crats in Albany to Vote as
They Please.

While Mayor Hylan in Palm Beach
yesterday was characterizing the Port
of New York Authority as a plot fos-
tered by financial and railroad interests
to gain control Of docks and water
front properties two local developments
operated to enliven the port issue here.
The more important of these was in
word passed along by Charles f. Muir
ply. leader of Tammany Hall, FOR Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature 10
follow their own consciences in acting
on the Port Authority bill. This was
accepted as an indication that Tammany
Hall is not inclined to bend the knee 10
the Hylan- Hearst section of the party
when it comes to matters OF public
policy
The other development was in favor
OF the stand taken by the Mayor. Frank
joyce, a special examiner in the Depart
n,cnt of Plant and Structures. injected
himself into a meeting of the Board or
Estimate and Apportionment. DENOUNCED
the comprehensive plan of the Port of
New York Authority and urged the
adoption Of the Staten Island tunnel
scheme put forward by the Hylan ad-
Elinistration.
The people of this city. Joyce said. are
rot likely to be stampeded In favor OF
the Port Authority plan because of the
inflated popularity OF a former Gov
error. He warned that II the Staten
Island tunnel project is not put through
now the Port Authority will cut Rich
mond off its plan
When Joyce was reprimanded for APP
pearing before the board without au-
thority during business hours, he said
he represented the Death Avenue
League. an organization working for
the removal of railroad tracks from
Eleventh avenue.
The action of Murphy has its prin-
cipal significance as a gesture of inde-
pend encc in the direction of Mayor
Hylan and William Randolph Hearst.
and warning to them that Tammany
cannot be expected to follow their die
tation merely because Mayor Hylan
happened to be elected on Democratic
ticket. The Port Authority bill. it was
pointed out, could be passed with the
support of the Democratic members of
the Legislature, and. therefore, the ac-
ton of Murphy could not materially af-
feet the legislative situation, it was said.

Remedies for Rail Ills.

l.. f. Loree president of the Delaware
and Hudson Railroad, attributing the
ills of the railways to bad management
in the period of Government operation
and TO that final monstrosity OF legis-
lation," the transportation act, proposed
these remedies
Repeal the Adamson law.
Abolish the Railroad Labor Board and
let the Interstate Commerce Commission
absorb as much of its work as should be
preserved
Recast the transportation act (Esch-
Cummins law), stripping it of its So
cialistic features and dividing the duties
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
to separate the administrative from the
judicial.
Readjust wages and rates "sympa-
thetically and yet as rapidly as condi-
tions premit."
Mr.. Loree said that many of the so
cialistic features" of the Esch- Cummin,.
law are black cloud threatening the
credit of the roads and wrecking the
morale of the staff.
Other speakers were William II.

NEW HAVEN, Feb 3.--The use of au-
tomobiles among students is not a press
ing problem at Yale University Presi-
dent James X. Angel and Dean Fred
erick S. Jones said to-day in connection
with the letter which Dr. Hibhen, presi-
dent of Princeton, has sent to parents
Of students asking that they refrain
from giving their sons cars for use dur
ing the college term.
President Angel pointed out that the
automobile owning element at Yale is
decidedly in the minority.
1T has always been tradition here
among students he said. that the au-
tomoblles should be kept in the back
ground as much as possible. and j be-
lieve that the boys have always kept
this in mind. ! have found no necessity
as yet for issuing such an appeal as DR..
Hibben has sent out, but if that neces-
sity should arise undoubtedly we should
act"
Dean Jones explained that he had ar
ranged with the State motor vehicle de-
partment whereby he will be informed

TRYING OUT NEW FIRE BOXES

More than a dozen false fire alarms
have been turned in in the Washington

since the new alarm boxes were in
stalled last week. All patrolmen in those
sections accordingly were instructed
yesterday TO keep close watch on the
boxes and to make arrests i'm cases
where persons are found tampering
with them unnecessarily.
Curiosity as to how the new boxes
work is blamed for the sounding of %

No Demand After civil War.

Asked If there was any demand for
bonus at the end of the civil war.
the Minnesota Senator replied:
mo. When the soldiers came back
home from the war they proved them
selves to be the balance wheel in the
life of the republic. They did their
share during the construction period
without seeking an enormous bonus
while the country was overloaded with
debt Aside from pensions which were
given only to the men who were dis
abled, there was nothing akin to the
bonus scheme in the days following
the civil war; and there was none for
nearly thirty years later. Prior to that
It was simply a question of pensions
to soldiers and widows of soldiers that
had died in the service.
"In 1890 legislation was created to
cqualizc the bounty to make II an al
lowance to those who had enlisted in
the early part of the war. and TO whom
no bounty had been paid. Beyond
that there was nothing done for the
soldiers in the shape that Is now asked
