HA We FLS77C ENCOUNTER IN COURT HOUSE AT OKMULGEE
SOLDIERS BONUS
BILL IS AGREED BY COMMITTEE
Bill Provides for Cash Payment Only Those Whose Ad
justed Service Pay Would Not Exceed $50 and
Four Optional Features

Banks in making loans on the certifi-
cate could not charge an interest rate
in excess of two percent above the re-
discount rate charged by the regional
Federal Reserve Bank on ninety day
paper in the district where the loan was
made and they could not make the loans
for a period in excess of three years
from the date of the certificate, which
would not be rediscountable by federal
reserve banks.
If the loans had not been repaid on
September 80, 1925, the banks could
make demand on the government for
the money due. The government it was
stated. then would cash the certificates,
pay the bank and turn the remainder
over to the service man. The cash sur
render value of the certificate on that
date would be IS percent of the ad-
justed service pay plus interest at IL
percent compounded annually from the
date of the certificate. This also would
be the loan value for federal advances
as OF that date.
st is hoped and believed said Chair
man Fordney in a formal statement,
that when these insurance certificates
become due and payable the money may
be secured by the sale of property and
securities owned by the federal govern
ment and without any special charge on
the treasury. This plan seems to meet
with the general approval of thes men,
bers of the House of Representatives as
well as the public generally"

WASHINGTON, March 3-Unanimous
agreement on compromise soldiers
bonus bin along the general lines out
lined officially on yesterday was reached
today by House ways and means commit
tee republicans who believed they had
found solution of the problem which
has been giving administration and con-
gressional leaders concern for several
weeks The revised measure. however,
still has a long road to travel before 1t
reaches the statute books.
AS now drawn the bill provides for
cash payments only to those men whose
adjusted service pay would not exceed
$50 and these four optional features:
Adjusted service certificates, with an
added loan provision which would en-
able the men to obtain Immediately from
banks sum equal to so percent OF the
adjusted service pay; vocational train
ing; home and farm aid and land settle
ment.
In working out details of the certificate
loan provision, the majority committee
men reduced the face value of the
certificate, which would be the amount
of the adjusted service pay plus 25 per-
cent. plus interest at 4 1-2 percent COM
pounded annually. instead Of the service
pay, plus 40 percent. plus the interest
as originally proposed 1t was thought
this would result in a saving to the
government UP to a possible maximum
of half a billion dollars.

Mr.. Goethals already has agreed, it
was added, to accept the task of COM

The announcement of the agree

military committee on the proposal
which was under consideration as
a competitor to those submitted
by Henry Ford and the Alabama

The committee devoted both sessions
today to an investigation of the Eng

WASHINGTON March 3.-without
record vote the house today passed

priating approximately s108,50o,0O0 to
meet deficiencies of various govern
ment departments. The largest item

for the veterans bureau.
A provision which would limit to
$6, 300,0 900 the amount the navy depart

next four months remained in the bill
without provoking discussion.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Presi-
dent Harding took q hand in the army
strength discussion today, summon
ing members of the house army ap-
preparations subcommittee into con-
ference after talk with General
Pershing.
The subcommittee yesterday agreed
tentatively to cut the army enlisted
strength for next year from the au-
thorized 10000 to 115.O0O. After the
White House conference 1t was dis
closed that an administration policy
for a force of not less than 10000 had
been formulated and expressed The
present actual strength is about 137,-
900.
General Pershing would not discuss
the nature of his talk with the presi-
dent, but when the summons to
Chairman Anthony and his associates
followed there was no effort to con-
ceal that General Pershing had felt
it necessary to appeal to the president
against the cut in the army the COM
mittee had in mind.

never would have occurred, Mr.. Ian
ham declared, if the airship had been
filled with helium instead of hydrogen
gas.
The helium plant at Fort Worth,
Texas, said to be the only one in the
world capable of producing the gas in
large quantities, has been closed since
last Nov. 80, Mr.. Lanham said, be-
cause funds have not been available to
continue operations.
During the discussion, Chairman
Anthony of the subcommittee which
serting that congress had been fairly
liberal in providing funds for helium
production, said that more than $10,-
100000 had been expended by the gov
ernment since the beginning of the
war in experiments with the gas and
in developing the plant at Fort Worth.
He declared that experience had
shown it was impossible with exist
ing facilities to produce large quanti-
ties Of helium without excessive and
impractical expenditures Expert en-
gineers have reported, he added, that
material changes must be made in the
Fort Worth plant before it can be
operated again on an economical basis.
Mr.. Anthony's estimate that it
would have cost $1,2OO,O0O to have
filled the airship Roma with helium
was challenged by Mr.. Lanham, who
declared the cost would not have been
more than S216,000.

LAWYERS FIGHT TO THE
LAST TO AVOID HANGING
For Forty-Six Days Before He
Was Hung Church Refused
to Take Anything to Eat.
(ey The Associated Press,

CHICAGO, March 3.--In the same
state of apparent coma in which he
lay during hunger strike of 46 days,
Harvey w. Church. who killed two
automobile statesmen to obtain pos
session of an automobile, was hanged
today after being carried to the gal
lows in chair in which he was seat
ed when the trap was sprung.
Almost until the moment the trap
was sprung, attorneys were trying to
procure a stay of execution. Nine
minutes before the double murderer
was hanged, Judge Scanlon denied a
stay of execution, four minutes before
Judge Joseph David took similar ac-
ton. A petition for a writ of habeas
corpus was filed in the superior court
less than ten minutes before Church
was hanged. Before it could be heard
Church was dead. The last minute
efforts to save Churchs life were made
on humanitarian grounds and on the
contention that Church was not in
court during a sanity hearing.
Earlier in the day Church was Wis
tied in the death sell by his parents
and sister and spoke their names. his
first words since he started the hunger
strike. He made no statement. Pho
tographs of the hanging were made
for the first time in Cook county's
history.
Church last summer killed Bernard
Da ugherty and Carl Il ismus, autorno-
bile salesmen. He 1ured them one at
a time to the basement of his home
and beat them TO death with a club,
according to his confession. Daugh-
erty's body he threw into a river
while that of Ausmus he buried in
his garage. Even before the bodies
were disposed Of Church took his
mother and a neighbor for a ride in
the car.
After the date for the execution had
been set, attorneys filed petition as
serting Church had become insane
since conviction and there was a post
ponement. He was found to he sane.
Then followed futile appeals to the
state board of pardons. to the gov
ernor and finally to the federal
courts His father and mother, al
though broken by the disgrace, ex-
pressed their willingness that he pay
the penalty for the crime.
During Churchs hunger strike, he
was forcfbly fed through a tube.
