To Consider Bonus
Bill Thursday Night

Washington, Jan. 23.-Call for a
caucus Thursday night of Republican
members of the house on the soldier
bonus question was issued today. I'M
mediate action on an adjusted COM
pensation bill has been demanded by
a group of members who were in the
military service during the war.
lFssAtsthez Thursday might conference
they plan to offer resolution in
structing the ways and means COM
mittee to proceed at once to draft a
will provide that when reported to
the house the measure is to be the
continuing business until passed.
House leaders said no effort would
be made at the caucus to instruct the
ways and means committee as to how
it should provide for the raising of
necessary revenue. That question
will be determined. it was said, by
the committee with the probability
that the Republican membership later
at caucus will take a stand on the
plan proposed.
Data upon possible new methods of
taxation with which TO raise funds
for bonus has been prepared by the
treasury department, it was said to-
day, for the information of congress.
Officials Of the treasury said, how
ever, that the department would await
requests for such information before
transmitting it to congress. At the
same time it was said that the treas
ury's position with regard to the ad-
visibility of a bonus for veterans Of
the world war was unchanged, the en-
actment Of compensation legislation
under existing conditions being view
ed with disfavor.
In the event bonus bill is enacted,
treasury officials said some tax would
have to be provided to take care of it.
Use of the allied debt as basis for
bonus financing was said to be re-
garded as impracticable.

CAR SLIPS INTO
PEE dee RIVER

Dillon, Jan. 23.-B. T. Byers and
Thad w. Hamer, two young business
men, had a narrow escape from
drowning Saturday night at the Pee
Dee ferry when their automobile in
which they were returning to Dillon
from Florence ran backwards into
Big Pee Dee river into about 20 feet
of water. When the car was being
driven out of the fiat, it seems that
it struck the ferryman causing him
to loose, the chain which held the
fat to The bank. When about half
way up the steep embankment the
driver tried to change gears. AS he
did so he lost control of the car,
whcih went backwards against the
fiat. AS the fiat was not fastened the
impact showed it toward midstream
and the car plunged into the water,
the depth of which at this point is
about 20 feet. 1t was with difficulty
that the two young men cleared the
car, as they were sitting on the front
seat with the driver Had thev moi
been good swimmers they would have
drowned. At Pee Dee station they
procured another car which brought
them to Dillon. The negro chauffeur
was drowned. His body was not re-
covered until late yesterday after
noon. The car was pulled out of the
river yesterday.
