The Simmons amendment, proVid-
ing for the payment of compensation
from the interest on the foreign debt
to the United States, was said to be
regarded by Treasury officials as
inadequate in establishing a methcd
for raising the necessary revenue.
They believe that the enactment
of the bonus bill in its present form
would make II necessary for the
Treasury Department to borrow
heavily to meet the payments, be-
cause there is no certainty as to the
time when the Government Will
realize on the $11 900, 100000 foreign
debt.
Plan Called Inadequate.
At the Treasury Department 1t was
declared officially that the expecta.
ton of the Government in that pay
ments from foreign governments on
war debts would he entirely in
adequate to pay the bonus. The
burden of payment would fall upon
the Treasury and necessitate heavy
borrowing in the money market.
The effect would be to disturb the
entire program of the Treasury in
the retirement of the public debt.
Officials further declared that even

Miss Thornton Changes Story;
Now Says There Was
Talk Of Duel.
BY International New. Service.

HACKENSACK, N. j., Aug. 81.
Charles Scullion, a brother of
Mrs. George A. Cline, wife of the
man charged with killing John
Bergen, an actor, was arrested
today by q Bergen county detective
on a warrant charging murder.
After being questioned by Pros
ecuting Attorney A. c. Hart, Soul
lion was locked in the county Jail,
where Cline has been confined since
Saturday.
Say SculliOn Got Revolver.
According to stories told to the
Bergen county authorities, II was
Scullion who went up stairs In the
Cline home at Edgewater for a re-
volver at Cline's request after Ber-
gen had confessed intimacy with
Mrs. Cline.
After Scullion had been inter.
rogated by the prosecuting attorney,
he was arraigned before Judge
Moore. pleaded not guilty apd was
remanded without bail.
Miss Alice Thornton, nineteen
year-old moving picture actress.
who first told Cline of Bergens
attentions to his wife and who is
expected to prove a star witness at
the trial OF Cline, today revised her
original story.
II was chiefly upon Miss Thorn
toms story that Hart claimed that
Bergen had been shot down in cold
blood without a chance for his life. /"
Now Miss Thorton says that Cline
offered Bergen a gun with which to
defend himself and suggested a duel.
Bergen was formerly Miss Thorn
tons sweetheart.
Changes In Story.
In her original story Miss Thorn
ton was quoted as saying that
neither Cline nor Bergen had a
weapon while they were quarreling
In the dining room of the Cline
cottage.
No one saw the shooting, as Cline
and Bergen were on their way up
stairs when the bullet was fired.
Hart said he had ordered the
arrest of Sculllon after he had be-
come convinced that Scullion and
Cline had conspired to cause Ber-
gems death. He called attention to
the fact that all accounts agreed
that Scullion had gone upstairs for
the weapon with which the killing
was done. The prosecutor said
Scullion would be held equally re.
sponsible with Cline.

ZURICH, Aug. 3l-The story
Of the romance Of Major Max
Oser, the middleaged Swiss rid
ing master, and Miss Mathilde
Mccormick, seventeen year old
granddaughter of John d. Rock
efeller, whose marriage is an
ticipated shortly, is herewith re-
vealed by International News
Service for the first time.
Was Deeply Smitten.
This story, pieced together today
from bits of information furnished by
intimate friends, shows that
Mathilde fell deeply In love with the
handsome Swiss when only sixteen
years old. Oser, however. realizing
the difference In their positions.
made no open protestation OF his
own affection for the beautiful girl
until authorized to do so by Harold
+. Mccormick, father Of Mathilde.
In the meantime. Major Oser and
his betrothed have again met and
are understood to be living In a
secluded and isolated hotel, awaiting
word from Mrs. McCormick-the
mother-permitting the marriage.
Mathilde came to Switzerland from
Paris, accompanied by a maid and
cha perone, and has been very happy
since her arrival. She has studiously
avoided newspaper correspondents,
but her wish was expressed TO a
chum in these words:
"All want is to be let alone and
not bothered. My movements and
conversations are Of no interest TO
anyone"
Miss Mccormick at sixteen was
what one acquaintance described as
too grown up for her age She
had an alert mind ard 1t was evi-
dent that she was bored with Swiss
hotel life. She desired fun and the
innocent games that all girls like.
There seemed to be two Mathhdes-
an American and a Swiss Math!lde

The 81 Ns Mathilde was a sober,
practical lang person, whose view
of marri yte and love was lypically
European. The American Mathilde
possessed all the impulslveness of

Mathilde wanted to learn to ride.
She liked outdoor life and riding

flying this longing.
Mrs. Mccormick was at first op-
posed, but. being a follower OF the
Freudian school, she feared to
create complex" so finally
agreed to allow her daughter to
have her way.
Here enter Major Max Oser,
former army officer, handsome and
dashing. From her fashionable

Mathilde walked daily across the
river Sihl and into the Muller

was located.
