Other resolutions as approved put th'
chamber on record as declaring:
No change should be considered In
connection with the Federal Reserve
system except such as would add
further strength and usefulness to
the present plan and continue exist
ing safeguards against partisanship

An adequate privately owned
and privately operated merchant
marine should be maintained under
the American flag as a necessary
safeguard for the commercial ad-
vancement of the United States and
that Congress expedite legislation to
this end.
Opposition should be continued
against proposals for the repeal OF
such basic provisions of the trans
portation act of 1920 as confer upon
the Interstate Commerce Commission
power to correct State rules that
unreasonably discriminate against
interstate commerce.
The Hague rules concerning ocean
bills of lading should be recognized
as representing a step in advance
and that Congress be asked to enact
legislation for the Hague rules with
such Interpretation as may be
deemed necessary.
Action under the present flood

that the Government institute in

country now subject to destructive
floods.
AS high fees for passports and the

What Vote showed.

The Pennsylvania voters who ex-
pressed their preference as between
Senator Pepper and Representative
Burke cast approximately 100000
votes. or these Senator Pepper re-
ceived around 100000 votes and Mr..
Burke about 100000 votes. the indi-
Gated majority for the former being
in the neighborhood of 100000.
In addition to receiving all the votes
the American Legion officials could
control and deliver Mr.. Burke was
generally supported by railway en-
ployees and miners, who probably cast
in excess of so per cent. of the vote
given. AS there are 1856. 900 ex-service
men lii the State of Pennsylvania Mr..
Burke received less than a majority
of them. probably about only one
third.
1t Is this fact that has caused the
greatest anxiety to bonus Senators.
They had been led to believe by off,
cials of the American Legion. who pre-
pared the bonus bill now sponsored by
the majority of the members of the
Senate Finance Committee. that thay
could influence votes enough to nomi-
nate and elect or defeat candidates for
Congressional office.
The Pennsylvania results show that
the American Legion officials have
been incorporating the attitude Of
the vast majority of the membership
OF it's organization. Furthermore, it
was admitted by the majority of the
bonus Senators to-day that its political
power is actually negligible.
Whether the Pennsylvania decision
will discourage further attempts to
jam through the Senate a bonus bill
in the face of the opposition or the
President, Treasury officials and. as
now revealed, the majority of citizens
in at least three States where public
opinion has been sounded is a matter
of conjecture.
The chief promoters OF the bonus in
TIE Senate do not know themselves.
IT can be said with every assurance
of accuracy that support for the bonus
project is visibly melting away. One
of the leaders in the bonus fight said
this afternoon a number of Repub-
lican Senators had come to him dur
ing the day and served notice that
they could not be counted on to help
pass the bill even in the first instance
and they assuredly would oppose any
attempt to repass 1t over the certain
veto of the President

cially represented the officials of the
American Legion and other bonus
claimants in directing the fight against
Mr.. Pepper. Pennsylvania was flooded
with spellbinders and literature which
urged voters to cast their ballots
against Mr.. Pepper.
Circulars and postcards were sent to
hundreds of thousands Of Pennsylva-

put man in the Senate who will

Burke"
The statement that Senator Pepper
"insulted the veteran and his family
of course, was absolutely untrue. The
Senator expressed his wholehearted
support of legislation making provi-
sion for the care and comfort Of the
manned, sick and helpless veterans Of
the world war. He expressed his op-
position only to the project to pay
Government cash to able bodied vet
Grams for their patriotic services.
He expressed the opinion that the
majority of able bodied ex-service men
were opposed to the bonus scheme on
the ground it placed a dollar mark on
their patriotism. The logic of his po-
sition was fully confirmed by the re-
suits of the primaries

of the men who signed the article! But official circles intimate that the attack on the Parliamentary inl munity of Cachin and Vaillant-Cou turier will be fought out regardless.
 PREMIER PLAYS TRUMP
 Meanwhile, the Premier has played another trump card. His opportunity came through the trifling matter of picture postal.
 Cachin and Vaillant-Couturier had seized upon this postal card, which portrayed Poincare and Myron T. Her rick, United States Ambassador to France, at the ceremony of presenta- ton of the United States Congression- al Medal to the City of Verdun. The communists claimed satirically that Poincare, standing over the grave of an unknown soldier, was grinning sar- donically.
 When the affair of the postal card was mentioned in the chamber, Poin- care jumped to his feet.
 "YoU HAVE INsULTED U. s.!"
 "You have insulted not only me but the representative of the United States government" he shouted. Down with caluminators! Anyone can see that MT. Herrick and I are not smiling in the picture. We are squint- ing to avoid the rays of the sun!"
 The Premier then demanded an of ftcial interpolation on the subject of the responsibility for the war This interpolation gave. Rene Viviani, who was Premier during the Poincare Pres dency, opportunity to defend his col league in a fiery speech, in which he recalled the events of 1914 and sought to establish the mobilization of Ger many as the true starting point of hos tilities.
 At the conclusion of the speech Poincare rushed to Viviani and, throw ing his arms about him, kissed him violently on both cheeks.
 The chamber cheered itself hoarse.

Appearing in an excellent vehicle and supported by noteworthy cast, Mae Marsh returns to the public after a long absence, in "The Little 'Fraid Lady," Robertson-Cole super-speclal which will be shown tonight at the Empress Theater. The story of the picture is taken from the popular novel, "The Girl Who Lived in the Woods" by Marjorie Benton Cooke.
 In the supporting cast with Miss Marsh are Fully Marshall, Kathleen Kirkham, Charles Meredith, Herbert Prior, Gretchen Hartman and George Bertholom, Jr., nephew, of the star. Last but not least is Jacques III, a canine actor of no mean ability, who appears in many interesting scenes with Miss Marsh.
 Also "Bang!" the two-reel Mermaid Comedy, is an impossible picture so far as the events pictured ever hap pening, but it is said to be the fun niest burlesque of a western drama that has ever been seen. Jimmie Adams Is noted for his participation in fast-coming fun films, and this time the action does not lag for mo- ment. He has the role of an unheroic youth who captures the bad man, wins fortune and claims the girl, almost without knowing how 1t happened.

 On the other hand are the opposi- tion parties Left" their extreme views expressed by the communists, and their bitter hatred of Poincare re gently eliminating in dramatic ac cusation that he and his followers were responsible for the outbreak of the war in 1914.
 POINCARE IS "LAMPOONED"
 Vitriolic are the lampOOns launched against Monster Poincare in this cant. paign> by the communist leaders on the floor of the chamber and in the columns of their morning daily, PHu- mantle, and their afternoon newspaper, PInternatonale.
 The Premier is soubriqueted "POin- care la Guerre," implying that he was. of the war. part and parcel-in other words. the cause of it. Often he is ironically dubbed "King of France"
 Accusation is made by the com munists that Poincare, during his pres idency at the time the war started entered into underhanded dealings with the Russian government and that he forced the war to protect certain interests in Russia. Charge is also made that Poincare displayed coward ice in 1914 when he left Paris, taking the government with him.
 Poincare has not been idle against these attacks. His first move was counter-offensive. He has laid before the chamber project to deprive Dep uties Marcel Cachin and Valiant COu- turier of their parliamentary immun- itv This would mean that these two communists would be subject to trial in the French courts, and M.

PREMIER TEMPORARILY
 THWARTED

This attempt of the Premier and his followers to curb the rough, tongued radicals was thwarted, at least temporarily. Claim had been made that the two communist leaders had published an editorial Header" in one of their journals libelously attacking Poincare and insulting the French government. It was understood that tho prosecution of Cachin and Vail an-Couturier was to be based upon this article signed by the two.
 The morning after the threat had been made pHumanite appeared with a reprint of the article. It was signed with several dozen names, many of them influential labor leaders.

Smithsonian Institution Official

Washington, May 26.-Venus is pos

phases of the habitability of other
worlds in the annual report Of the
institution just made public.

Many popular writer's have claimed
great things for Mars as an abode OF
life. Mr. Abbot said, but L cannot

s.as to the existence of markings and
shading,s of color on Mars, but to sup
nose that we see there the engineering

fanciful.'

are already receiving wireless signals
from intelligent beings outside OF the
earth which may in turn be interpre-
