MOSES OPPOSES BONUS.

Senator Moses of New Hampshire.
republican, today declared his oppo-
sition to the passage of the proposed
soldier bonus bill at this time. -
In common with the great majori-
ty of the members of this and tho
other branch of Congress" said Sem
ator Moses, addressing the Senate.
Il have been under promise to sup
port adjusted compensation legisia-
tion. | am rising here now in ad-
Nnce of the measures coming to us,
in order that those to whom such
promise has been made may l-now
that | cannot go forward with il at
the present time.
NO one will undertake to minimize
the country's obligation to the young
men whom the long arm of the gov
ernrnent reached out and seized for
military service in the world war
Neither will any one undertake to re-
buke the wholly proper feeling of re-
sentiment which these young men feel
toward their associates of like age
and physical strength who sought
shelter in the essential occupations at
home, and who received the unduly
swollen compensation which those oc-
cupations provided.
But we must bear in mind the
scriptural admonition that there is
time for all things-and this is not
the time for pressing Legislation of
this character. No plan thus far ad-
vanced can possibly be carried out
without unwarranted dislocation of
the impelling and unavoidable finan-
cial read1ustments growing out of the
existing debt of the war, or without
continuing for an indefinite period
features of the existing taxation sys-
tenn which / regard as iniquiteus,
inquisitorial and unjust"
Senator Moses said that he was in
favor of doing everything possible to
aid the disabled soldiers of the war,
and that he had supported every
measure for that purpose. He said
that he favored the sales tax sug-
gested by the president as a means
of raising revenue to pay the SOL
diers' bonus, in principle. He said,
however, that he was unwilling to
impose further tax burdens on the
people at this time. When the tax
laws are taken up for revision again,
he said, he hoped a sales tax would
be included in the system.

GIRL AT TRIAL KILLS MAN
ACCUSED OF ATTACKING
HER. WHEN IS YEARS OLD

BY the Associated Press. [s
WACO, Tex, February 24.-Miss
Marcine Matthews. seventeen years
old, shot and instantly killed J. S.
Grosslin today during proceedings
in the district court here. He was
charged with criminally attack
ing the girl two years ago.
Grosslin, aged fifty-nine years,
was tried and convicted and SEN
fenced to nine years in the peni-
tentiary, but the case was re-
versed on an error in the admis-
sion of testimony and remanded for
trial.
The preliminaries had been COM
pleted and Miss Matthews had been
called to the witness stand.
He disgraced me, ruined my
health and deprived me of school
privileges" she stated after the
killing. But he will never ruin
another girl"
Miss Matthews walked to the
witness chair. then turned with a
pistol in hand and fired s:raigh.
at Crosslin, vino sat in a chair be-.
side his attorneys, fifteen feet
away. She then took two or three
steps forward and fired again. Ad-
rancing to within three feet of the
man. who had collapsed in his
chair. she shot a third time, the
bullet penetrating his side.
Officer Burton seized the girl in
his arms and carried her ouc of
the courtroom. He took the
weapon from her and locked her
in a room in the sheriffs Office.

proposing TO finance the bonus partly
through collection from twenty-six
states of s2s,I0I .644.s1 loaned them by
the federal government eighty-six years
ago. His bill would direct the Treasury
Department TO call for refund of the
principal, with interest at 4 per cent
from the date of the loans. This would
yield total of l24.000,000, Mr. AM
drews estimated
The balance needed for meeting a SOL

version Of Ihee~f3ritish debt into mar

Explaining the existence of the fund
he proposes should be collected from
states, Mr.. Andrews said that in 1886,

secure place TO store them. Congress en-
acted legislation transferring the fund
to states on the basis of population, with
the stipulation that it was to remain
with the states until Congress directs
otherwise. Congress has authority, Mr.
Andrews contends, to require repay
ment.

Uncertainty of Attitude Now
Dissipated as Bar to Me-
gotiations.
BY PAUL SCOTT mOwRER.

Copyright. 1922
PARIS, February 24.-One of the
chief obstacles to diplomatic agree
ment between England and France,
namely, doubt as to the course the
United States intended to pursue, has
now been dissipated Both nations
are convinced that the United States
intends to do nothing whatever, at
least for the present. Both are there
fore apparently disposed to make
many mutual concessions
II rs nuw certain that tile Genoa
conference for the economic recon
struction of Europe will duly take
place, not indeed on March 8. but
within few weeks sfterward 1t has
seemingly been agreed that there
Shall be no discussion of near eastern
or reparations questions at this con-
ference, nor shall THE existing trea-
ties be considered in any way The
elimination of the reparations ques-
tion automatically eliminates the
question of tho allied debts. for the
TWO are close.y connected and this in
turn eliminates various allied pacts
now under negotiation. notably the
Anglo-Belgian and Anglo French
pacts. 1t is therefore clear that by far
the most important point on the
Genoa agenda will be Russia. Next
in Importance will be a British pro-
posal for a general pact or resolution
in which all the signatories will agree
to refrain from aggression against
their neighbors.
On the economic side the main eff
fort of the Genoa conference will
seemingly be to set up an interna-
tional consortium to facilitate the
economic reconstruction of eastern
and central Europe
Present indications are that when
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
Premier Poincare meet at Boulogne
tomorrow important steps will be
taken toward harmonizing French
and British policies preliminary to
the Genoa conference. Edouard
Benes, premier of Czechoslovakia, has
been largely instrumental in bring
ing about this meeting, for asN he
himself has said the smaller nations
of central and eastern Europe all
feel that unless France and Britain
reach some sort of an agreement in
advance the Genoa meeting is bound
to be a failure.
