House Members
Predict Passage
of Bonus Measure
Republican Leaders Consider
Calling Bill Up Under Sus-
pension of Rules-Would
Limit Debate.

Washington, March 9.-While the
fight against the compromise SOL
diers' bonus bill continued unabated
house members on both sides of the
question predicted that the measure
would be passed by the house.
Although a two-thirds vote would
be required to put the bill through
under such a procedure, republican
leaders were discussing the question
of calling up the measure under a
suspension of the rules. This would
preclude the possibility of amend
ment and ordinarily would limit de-
bate to 20 minutes on each side
The majority membership will be
sounded out on this proposition, bu.
a decision probably will be withheld
until after the return, late in the
week, of Chairman Fordney of the
ways and means committee, who will
have charge OF the bill on the
floor.
The next rules suspension day in
the house will be March 20. Leaders
said the army appropriation bill
WOuiu DC tdkeli up lcNl Iueoudy,
ahead OF the house bill and even if
the latter measure were not called
up under a suspension of the rules,
it probably would not be considered
before the week beginning March 20.
There was some discussion during
the day as to President Hardings
attitude with regard to the colnprom-
ise bill. Representative Mondell of
Wyoming. the majority leader, said
he did not think the statement made
at the White, House yesterday that
Mr.. Harding occupied the same posi-
ton that he did when he suggested
a sales tax or postponement Of the
legislation was to be taken to mean
that the executive was prepared to
veto the measure. t.,, .."t

has hampered the operate ambitions
OF Mrs. Harvey Rosenthal beautiful
wife of a wealthy dentist. Mrs.

house Monday.
The ball was terminated suddenly
about 2 a. m. after Rafaelo Diaz,
Metropolitan opera tenor, greeted
Mrs. Rosenthal with a kiss and was
struck by her husband Following
the affair, DR.. Rosenthal was quoted
as saying:
"If going into opera includes
artistic kissing, Mrs. Rosenthal will
never enter opera with my consent"
Mrs. Rosenthal did not appear for
her promised operate tryout. So
far as could be learned, the addition
had been postponed indefinitely. At

Esthonia Reaches Port.
The Es,honia arrived in port to-

the thought that all its captains eff

had been in vain. To Capt. Jorgen-
son il was just another episode in

the wireless operator OF the Es-

a brother operator whose devotion

An unknown hero he must remain

De Valera Scored for
Silence on Limerick

Dublin. March S.-(By A. P.)
Freeman's Journal discussing the
Limerick situation today dealt with
what it described as "Eamon De Va
lera's silence" and said editorially:
DE Valera, so far as is known,
has taken no step to correct the
deeds of hot headed persons, who,
pretending to be his followers. have
invaded Limerick and quartered
themselves in that city as its inhab-
itants. Thanks to self control of
the rank and file of the Irish re-
publican army, actual evil results so
far have been avoided The situa-
ton, however, in the city is impossi-
Bile and full OF danger. Conflict at
the present moment would be an
outrage on the Irish nation and its
name throughout the world. 1t be-
hooves De Valera to speak and let
the world know where he stands"
