Humane Society Asks
Antideluuian Monster
Not Taken From Haunts

BUENOS AIRES, March 13.-While
newspapers continue to poke fun at
Curator Onelli's proposed hunt for the
antideluvian monster in Patagonia,
the expedition has been taken very
seriously by the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, which
has sent a long formal note to the
minister of the interior asking meas
ures to prevent the capture of the sup
posed animal.
The society maintains that if a pie
siosaurus or some similar animal is
living in Patagonia, it Is probably the
last of it's species, and the scientists
should be compelled to study it there.
instead of bringing it to the Buenos
Aires zoo, where it would soon die be
cause of the difference in temperature.
Prof. Onelli said today that news
papers which are ridiculing him, have
failed to mention that an expedition
sent to Patagonia several years ago
found the bones, hide, and excrement
of a monster resembling glyptodon, a
very large species of the armadillo, be.
lieved to have been extinct for mil
lions of years. An arrowhead buried
in its head showed the animal had
been killed in recent times. The re
mains are now on view at the Laplata
museum. Prof. Onelli is daily receiv
| ing donations to pay the expense Of
/ his expedition, which will probably
! leave here this week.

WILL BE ASKED TO
PASS HIGHWAY Law
tBy Associated Press)

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 13.-The
next session of the Ohio legislature
will be asked to pass law authoriz-
ing county commissioners to establish
secondary or county highway sys-
tenn in every county in the state. The
proposed measure will be fostered by
the Ohio Good Roads federation
Each township in any county, 1t pro-
Nides, would be represented by two,
at least roads, crossing at some angle.
thus serving all townships. 1t would
be obligatory on the part of the county
commissioners to apply the mandatory
maintenance laws in keeping the coun-
ty highway system, thus provided. in
good condition.
Commissioners would be permitted
to work independently of, or in con.
junction with, the township trustees.
County funds would be used, together
with the county's share of the auto.
mobile license funds.
1t is asserted that under the plan
now in vogue, mileage now main.
tanned in most of the counties is scat.
tered and SO disconnected that a svs.
tematic following up of repairs and
maintenance is difficult and expens
i've. The proposed law would correct
this condition, it is said, and bring
about connected, we'll maintained
and economical system of county

that by perseverance, in America, "a

SOLDIER BONUS Bill
ASSAILED BY MELLON
AS ABUSE OF CilEDlT

WASHINGTON, March 13.---Assaii-
ing the new Republican soldier bonus
bill as proposing "a dangerou abuse
of the governments credit" Secretary
Mellon, in a letter to Chairman Ford
ney of the house committee on ways
and means, asserts that the actual
cash outlay by the government IN the
next three and a half years u nder the
plan would be s1.2o0,000 ,0Od, or as
much as the proable cost OF the Or
iginal cash bonus scheme.
Fear Of Frozen Credit,
The treasury chief expresses more
vigorous and sweeping disaplproval OF
the latest bonus plan than of any OF
it's predecessors. He unspariigly con-
dennis the bank loan feature, which he
asserts would clog the country's finan-
cial machinery with frozen credits
producing imitation.
Much wiser than this SERENE, he
says, would be the financing of the
bonus by the issuance of bonds; and
In any event, If the bonus is, to take
the form of endowment insurance 1t
would be better from the start for
the government to loan directly to for'
mer soldiers on their certificates.
There is no way" the Mellon let
ter concludes, "by which the American
taxpayer can avoid the burden, and IL
a bonus is to be imposed it is far bet.
ter for all concerned that it be placed
upon a direct and definite basis and
paid for each year out of current rev.
enue. To do this at the prefent time
will necessarily mean the Imposition
of additional taxes for the purpose"

.BEvERIDCE PROPOSAL IS
UNFAIR, SAYS FORMER
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

COLUMBUS, Ind, March 13.-Albert
j. Beveridge's proposal that neither he
nor Harry S. New spend any money
for newspaper advertising in their
campaign for the Republican nomina-
tion for United States senator from
Indiana is not regarded with favor by
Hugh TIL. Miller, of Columbus, former
ly lieutenant-governor. In statement
he made here he discussed the situa-
ton as follows:
4 have read Mr. Beveridge's FIT.
Wayne keynote address with interest,
as always. The part that is featured Is
his so-called disarmament proposition,
that Senator New spend no money for
newspaper advertising as Mr.. Bever-
idge proposes to spend none.
This would go with more force con-
sidering the circumstances, if six
months ago Mr.. Beveridge had pro-
posed to Senator New that from that
time until May 2 (the date of the In
diana primary neither of them should
address conventions, clubs, churches,
bar associations, schools and colleges,
or political meetings; that neither of
them should make a personal speaking
canvass of the state. Then Mr.. Bever-
idge could have gone back to his lit
erary work and Senator New to Wash
ington, and the people would have been
free to choose, as Mr.. Beveridge right
ly says they should be.
"The proposition also would have
more force if Mr.. Beverage should
propose that his long time personal
friend, Mr.. John c. Shaffer, whose
newspapers in Chicago circulate in
northern Indiana, whose Louisville
! paper reaches southern Indiana, and
whose papers in Muncie, Terre Haute
and Indianapolis cover the central par
of the state, should not use them tC
promote the candidacy of Mr. Bever
idge.
ut strikes me as a fair proposition
that if Mr.. Beverage has the leisure
to deliver addresses, political and non
political, over the state for a period o
several months. and if Mr.. Shaffer':
newspapers exercise their unquestion
ed privilege of doing all they can tt
push his candidacy, it is not imprope
that Senator New, who is detained il
Washington most of the time by public
business, should have the right to pre-
sent his case through the advertising
columns of the independent and Repuh
lican newspapers of the state.
'If Mr.. Beveridge feels that his rec
ord in congress, which, so far as con
structive legislation is concerned, wa
made largely in his second term
makes him the logical choice Of Ind
ana Republicans, surely no such exter
sive canvass of the state is needed b.
any man who has served with conspiC
uous merit for twelve years. In m
mind this disarmament proposition
jug-handled.'

PRODUCTION OF GAS
IN KENTUCKY FACING 4
CRISIS, SAYS REPORT
(By Associated Press)

FRANKFORT, KY, March 13.-Ken
lucky faces a crisis in the production
of natural gas both because OF the
limitation of her own gas fields and
because of the out-of-the-state supply
being cut down, according to DIR. Will
ard Rouse Jillson, director of the Ken
lucky geological survey. who has Just
completed a book on the oil and gas
resources of Kentucky. The state Is
now producing only one-fourth of the
amount of natural gas she is consum-
ing and 1t will not be long before she
will be called upon to produce more,
owing to the reduction of the supplies
from Ohio and West Virginia.
''In the natural gas problem the nec
essity for immediate conservation Is
perhaps more vividly apparent than In
any of the other mineral resources.
This is particularly true of the gas
reserves of Kentucky. The really seri-
Gus situation which had developed in
West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania
may be delayed in Kentucky if effec-
tive preservation measures are intro
duced at once. The matter is urgent.
AS in all regional problems of natural
resource conservation, the actual CO.
operation of the individual producer
and consumer, as well as that of the
oonservation-effectin agent, will be
required if the best results are to be
obtained" says DR.. Jillson in the pref
ace TO his volume.
Treats All Phases
All phases of conservation from the
newly-drilled we'll to the handing of
natural gas in the homes are treated
by DR.. Jillson. He takes up each field
in the state and gives brief account
of its location and production. Dis
cussing the history of natural gas in
| this state, DR.. Jillson says:
! THE commercial production of nat
ural gas in the state of Kentucky dates
back to the year 1868, when the old
MorGman well, near Brandenburg.
i Meade county. was drilled. 1t was
utilized in the manufacture of salt
from brines which were found asso-
ciated with the gas in this and other
wells in the Brandenburg district. For
a number of years this Ohio River
Field was the only one of much i'm
portance in the state.

HQWATT LOSES CASE
IN SUPREME court
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The SUI
preme court today dismissed the writs
of error by which Alex Howatt and
other labor leaders sought to have
reviewed the decision of the Kansas
state court holding them guilty of
contempt of court for their refusal to
appear before the court of industrial
relations.
The opinion of the court. delivered
by Chief Justice Taft. stated that the
questions of the constitutionality of
the Kansas statute creating the courts
of industrial relations and prohibiting
strikes and the settlement of labor dis
putes were not brought before the
court in proper form for it to pass
upon them.
Effect of the refusal OF the court
to dispose of the appeal and the issues
with Howatt and his associations
sought to raise will be to leave in
effect the decision in the lower court
holding them in contempt for refusing
TO appear before the court of indus
trial relations and also holding them
in contempt for ordering strike after
they had been enjoined from doing so

FOR LIQUOR PALACE
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March 13.-Plans fol-
floating liquor palace off New York
beyond the three-mile limit are going
forward, according to James v Mar
tin, the promoter. in spite of the an

vessel will not be permitted.
Furthermore, declares Martin, a sec

will be constructed, should the first
be successful In answer to Commits

character.
Martin asserts the vessel will be as
large as the Leviathan, that it will be
constructed in Europe and that the in
vestment will amount to S1O,000,0OO.
