BOSTON, May 25.-An inquest in
to a year-old death mystery, the
shooting of Lieutenant Patton c. Nc
Calvary, a former army aviator, who
had won several medals for bravery
in the World war, was reopened to-
day. 1t had been suspended for
several months, after brief session
held last year in an attempt to
clear UP conflicting indications of
suicide and murder.
McGilvary's body, bearing four
bullet wounds, was found in an alley
in the Back Bay district here on
May 10, 1921.
The revolver used apparently was
his own. Only two of the four dis
charged cartridges were found. He
had been in financial straits and left
a note regarded as farewell to Mrs.
Evelyn Clifford, a friend, in which
he gave her his automobile.
Prof. E. B. McGilvary, a member
Of the faculty Of the University of
Wisconsin, father Of the former flyer,
with other relatives and friends, in
sisted after independent inquiries
here that McGilvary had been MUIR
dered. Medical Examiner Leary's
report was that death occurred Gin
manner unknown" DR.. Leary
said, however, that first indications
were of suicide. When these appeared
less clear later, he asked for an in
quest by Chief Justice Bolster of
the municipal court so that the in.
vestigation might be thorough. JOS
eph G. Pelletier, then district attor-
ney, after brief inquiry at the time,
announced that McGilvary was a
suicide.
Relatives Of McGilvary caused
Wisconsin pathologists to hold an
autopsy on the body after it was
sent home for burial. Their report
YVES thar he was a victim Of muir
der. Medical Examiner Leary said
he could not subscribe to such a
finding

On the heels of his vitriolic letters

conscientious and useful member of
the house and throughout my ad-
ministration rendered me, and the

judgment, his retirement would be
a serious loss to the party and the

BONUS BILL FATE
Up To DEMOCRATS
As c. D. P. DIVIDES
Unless Republicans Can
Unite on McCumber Plan
Democrats viii Hold Whip
Hand

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Divi-
sion in Republican senatorial ranks
has given the Democrats the de-
cisive voice in the framing of the
solder tonus bill.
Unless the Republicans can unite
on the NIX Cumber plan of deferred
bonus payments,\ with loan pro-
visions, or the Smoot paidup insur'
ance plan, without any loan or cash
provisions, or on some compromise
between the two, the Democrats will
be able to force adoption of either
of the plans they favor.
Indications today were that moss
of the Democrats would support the
McCumber idea in preference to
Shoots.
Republicans Split
1t was the split among Republic
ans on the finance committe which
forced supporters Of the McCumber
bill to decide on calling in Demo
cratic members of the committee
this week, in an effort to break the
uSdOKOCh. ne INSpuUllCctH
are about evenly divided between
ry effort to break this lineup at in
formal Republican conferences has
failed. So also has the effort to get
President Harding to indicate his
preference between the two bills.
Therefore, the Democrats are to be
allowed to decide. McCumber is
confident they will decide his way.
The Democrats will be called in
the minute Senator Jim Watson
gets back from Indiana, where he
has been sounding the Republican
keynote. In that keynote Mr.. Wat
son promised the enactment of a
bonus law at this session. He is for
the McCumber plan, or for some
compromise which will be satlsfac-
tory to the American Legion, but
will not add to the tax burden.
May Present New Plan
Democratic members of the com.
nittee may not at once accept either
the Smoot or McCumber bills. Their
leaning towards the McCumber idea
is based on the belief that it more
nearly approXimates the desires OF
eX-service men, who want the bonus
in some form enabling them to make
use of it either at once or within
the next few years as they need it.
This, the Smoot insurance scheme
would prevent.
But with the situation favoring
them from a political standpoint, the
Democrats will not be disposed 20
play into Republican hands toe
much by passing snap Judgment.
Since the Republicans have delayed
the matter this long, and have fail
er despite dozens of conferences, to
agree among themselves, the neIno-
Gratis feel entitled to some time for
careful consideration. They may in
the end present a plan Of theic own.

Bringing to the south message
of assurance and conservative OPP
timism, Eugene Meyer, Jr., manag-
ing director of the war finance cor
poration, in an address Friday morn
ing before the Georgia Bankers as
ISOLATION in convention here, de-
clared that confidence in the business
and financial structure of the United
States has been restored, and that
the country is safely emerging fronc
the shadows of depression.
1--WE are rapidly getting down to
what we have all been talking about
and what we have all been looking
forward to hopefully--that state of
affairs which we call normal" said
Mr.. Meyer. "Of course, nothing is
ever really normal, because condi-
tons are changing all the time; but
we are going to be able to do bust
ness on a sounder basis from now
on"
Speaking as the head Of the great
national agency that has been large.
ly instrumental in solving the prob
lens of the south, as we'll as the va
rious other sections of the country,
Mr.. Meyer was heard with intense
interest by the bankers of Georgia.
He Endorsed the cooperative mar
keting association idea, congratulate
ed the Georgia bankers on their
handling of local problems and de-
clared that the farmer will make
more money this year than in sew
eral years past.
In addition to Mr.. Meyers address

Rome; the educational committee,
chairman, Robert Strickland Jr.,
vice president of the Fourth Ma

cultural committee, chairman, Ben
w. Hunt, president Of the Middle
Georgia bank, Eatonton.
Public education in banking mat
tiers was advocated by Mr.. Strick-
land as a means of lessening much
of the present ignorance concerning
financial affairs.
A radical suggestion was offered
by Mr.. Hunt in presenting the re- Z
port of the agricultural committee
when he declared that in his belief
a better plan than the usual one of
crop diversification would be the
passage of law compelling farm
ers of Georgia to plant cotton only
on alternate years-the crop plant.

Hunt asserted his belief that this
