BONUS BILL IS A
GHOST AGAIN FOR
HARDING TO FACE
Long Delayed Measure
Is Up in Senate This
Week

Washington, August 23.-The long
deferred soldiers bonus legislation
was on the senate calendar today for
second time, but its immediate fu-
ture as well as its ultimate fate was
in doubt.
While passage of the bill by the
senate eventually was regarded as
certainty there was no assurance of
action in the immediate future. Ne
gotiauons for an agreement fixing
definite date for a vote with an in
tervening recess of the senate were
continued, but without success.
Some progress had been made,
however, opponents of any recess
agreeing to a short vacation provided
the bill were taken up later with an
agreement that it should not be sup
planted
Aside from the uncertainty as 70
the time for action in the senate,
friends and foes of the bill alike were
in the dark regarding President Har-
ding's attitude. The last official
word from the eXecutive-eXpresSed
just before the house acted last
March-was that congress either find
the means of financing the legisla-
ton or postpone its enactment The
bill does not carry this means and
some of those close to the president
said he still Twas disposed to veto it.
Some proponents of the legisla-
ton were optimistic, however, con-
tending that since the bill would en-
tail no heavy draft on the treasury
until after the refunding of the short
time public debt had been comp!et-
ed the basis of the presidents objec-
ton to a taxless bill had been re-
moved They argued that the inter-
est from the British debt would take
care of the payments for the first
three years, at least, and looked for
the president to approve such use Of
this fund.
Another move was reported on foot
to get a more definite expression
from the executive, but there was
doubt whether it would succeed, as
Mr.. Harding was said not to be dis
posed to discuss the measure further
with senate leaders.
Opponents of the legislation claim
ed strength of 35 votes, not sufficient
to prevent its passage, but more than
enough to sustain an executive veto.

Washington, August 23.-The navy

GEORGE CAY PUT
UNDER ARREST As
A BOOZE RUNNE R
Over-Zealous Miami Cop
Handouts a Prohi
Official

George Gay, well-known Palatka
citizen and assistant state prohibition
enforcement officer, has had some
novel experiences since he accepted
the position with the government, but
none quite so exciting as when he
was arrested few days ago at Mi
ami, handouts placed on him and he
was about to be taken to Jail before
his identity was established. The
following special from Port Pierce
relates the story:
Tell it to the marines, it is report
ed here, was the advice yesterday of
the chief of police of Miami when he
and his faithful cohorts thinking they
were pulling big one, arrested and
handcuffed Deputy Sheriff Merritt,
of this county, and Internal Revenue
Officer Gay, of Tampa, rushed them
to police headquarters and took
charge of car and cargo of liquor,
which, with a couple of alleged booze
runners, the two officials had taken
in tow at Stuart and escorted on to
the Magic City for the purpose of
turning them over to the federal au-
| thorities.
| at all came about in this way, ac-
cording to the story related here to-
day:
Merritt and Gay, en- route to Mi
ami on official business, took the al
legged booze runners, their car and
cargo in charge at Stuart and pro-
ceeded on to Miami. Upon arriving
in the city they called a policeman,
told him they were officers, that the
car was a booze car, and requested
him to keep his eye on it while they
and their prisoners stepped into a
cafe to get bite to eat.
But the faithful cop soon became
suspicious and determined to play
safety first. SO he notified police
headquarters, whereupon the chief
and squad of officers soon appeared
on the scene, handcuffed Merritt
and Gay and rushed them to head
quarters. There the two alleged booze
runners soon appeared and pleaded
for the release of their captors. But
there was nothing doing, until final
ly the captive officers were able to
get in touch with a federal official,
who soon appeared on the scene and
identified the two officers, who were
thereupon released, after their unique
experience. The alleged liquor rum
mrs were not so fortunate, it is
stated"

had an interesting experience
with leopard a short time ago. The
leopards were very troublesome this
year, and killed several head of
sheep, goats, pigs and chickens. This
leopard, we caught in steel spring
trap, tied to a block of wood about
two feet long. This is the approved
method, for if one should tie the
trap to a fixed anchorage the leop-
ard will tear the trap all to pieces
and get away Well, this leopard
got into the trap and then dragged
it and it's anchor out into the
'veldt,' leaving trail that was very
easy to follow. | went after him
with some of the boys and we came
up to him in the tall grass The
grass, vines and weeds had gath
cred on the stick so that he had a
rather heavy load to drag along. 1t
was a large male and when he saw
us he let out a deafening roar and
charged. The boys all retreated and
left me alone. Each time the leop-
ard leaped the weight on his foot
pulled him around sideways, but he
theoretically kept coming, roaring
all the time. I shot him in the left
temple at about 80 feet, killing him
instantly. The boys came running
up and we proceeded to take off the
trap. Lo and behold, he was only
held in the trap by the tip joints of
his two middle toes. 1t was then
that my hair stood on end, when I
thought what might have happened
had they pulled out. The leopard
measured eight feet six inches-only
four inches short of the worlds rec
ord. Last week Mr.. Hack, who is
working here at the Mission, killed
two lions.
