MAJORITY LEADERS
CONTINUE EFFORTS
FOR BONUS MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The SOL
der bonus situation has simmered
down today perceptibly following the
first reaction from President Hard
ing's suggestion that the adjusted
compensation be financed by a sales
tax or that the enactment of the
legislation be postponed. There was,
however, no apparent slackening of
the determination of Republican
house leaders to pass the measure
at this session.
Majority members of the house
ways and means committee were
called to meet Monday to tackle the
whole problem again. They we're eX-
pected to pass upon legislation pro
visions of TIE measure before going
iuto the question OF ways and means
OF raising funds.
Proponents of sales tax seemed
confident that the Republican COM
mitteemen would decide on this form
of taxation to raise the approximate
ly $500 000,0 necessary to cover the
cash payments as now provided for In
the measure. 1t was certain. how
ever. that tho sales tax would not be
voted in without a sharp fight.
It was said that any sales tax
adopted would not be a general one.
A manufacturers tax, similar to that
proposed by Senator Smoot Repub-
lican, Utah, vas rejected by the sem
ate during the consideration of the
tax revision bill, was one of the sug-
gestions advanced. 1t was claimed
that this tax at a rate of / per cent
would raise tie amount of money re-
quired.
Several other forms of sales tax
are known to be under consideration
and it is not expected that there Will
be hasty decision as to any of them.
1t was learned that treasury experts
recently had prepared a form of sales
tax which its trainers contend can
be easily administered and connot be
evaded
Whether bonus bill with a sales,
tax attached could be put through
the house still seemed doubtful, some
leaders declaring that the situation
in this respect dcfied analysis at this
time. Meantime farm organizations
continued their attack on this tax.
Gray Silver, Washington representa-
tive of the American Farm Bureau
federation, addressed letter TO each
member Of congress, protesting
against it.
Taxes are already exceedingly
high, the letter said, "and sales
tax would only mean furtheT burden
upon the average individual, and
when We stop TO consider that the
average income Of each man. women
and child in this country whose in
come is below the income tax level,
is only 1888 a year, the American
Farm Bureau federation believes it
would be a rank injustice to raise
further revenue for the soldiers
bonus by this method. 1t would take
away from these people any prospect
of accommodating a competence, no
matter how small, and would blight
their hope Of bcttering their condi-

ARE CLOSED BY
COMMISSIONERS
[RepublIcan A. P. Leased WIrsl

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S-Seven
theaters, including the New National
and Polls, two of the principal play
houses in the national capital. were
ordered closed tonight by the board
of commissioners, the governing body
of the District of Columbia.
The order was issued after an in
spection of play houses in the dis
trict had been completed by a board
Of five engineers. The inspection
grew out OF the recent collapse of the
Knickerbocker theater which cost
the lives of es persons.
Other theaters closed were the

and the Cosmos. vaudeville and mo-
ton picture. The Metropolitan and
the Columbia are two Of the larger
down town theaters. The former is
owned by the Crandall company.
which also owned the Knickerbocker.
The report of the engineers on
which the order was issued was not
made public but members said that
"in most cases. structural weakness
and inadequate fire protection had
been disclosed by their investigation.

missioners did not communicate the
details OF the weakness to the thoater.
owners, but it was explained that
these would be given them soon so
that they could take action. some
commissioners estimated it would be
several months, possibly mid summer
before some of the theaters could re-
open.
In one case, it was added. an entire
new roof would have TO be construct
ed while in other cases balconies
would have to be strengthened. In
another case it was said the space

CANAL DEFENSE
GUNS DECLARED.
|NADEQUATETO TO.
MEET NARsHIPS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Guns In
existing defenses OF the Panama
canal are out-ranged thousands of
yards, by the rifles of foreign war
ships now afloat. 1t is regarded by
the military experts as wholly pos
sible that hostile fleet of modern
ships could. lay off the Pacific en-
trance forts far out of range, and
pound the defense to pieces at their
leisure without risk to themselves.
Joint army and navy maneuvers,
planned for this winter, but aban-
doned because of necessary retrench-
ment, were expected, it was learned
today, to have demonstrated this
weakness of the canal defenses in
striking fashion.
Forts on the Pacific side OF the
waterway were to have been the OBJ
ject of attack by the combined fleet
as one phase of the war game. The
purpose was to test in simulated war
conditions the adequacy of the de-
fense and to obtain further data for
their modernization.
Under the naval Limitation treaty
the maximum size of guns on exist
ing or future capital ships is to be
limited to 16inch weapons. 1t is. to
be expected, many officials say, that
as replacement proceeds on the treaty
schedule, all capital ships will come
to be equipped with guns of approx
nateiU that size and noWar
The canal Notifications were
planned and we'll advanced in con-
struction when even the British 15-
mental stage and when the American
naval big gun, just being talked
about, was the 14-inch. Since then
both American ana japanese navies
have gone to the 16-inch and ships
armed with the 12-inch that was
most generally in use when the canal
defenses were planned, are rated to-
day as pre- Jutland" and obsolete,
not powerful enough to lie in the line
OF battle.
The Jutland lessons Of the great
war, however, have still another
bearing on the canal defense prob
lem. Warships designed since that
fight have been given greatly in
creased gun elevations ana COnSe-
quently greater range. They deliver
what is in a restricted sense high
angle fire that always has been pc
culiarly effective against fixed for
tifications.
Army experts have taken this into
account in planning modernization of
the canal forts. Their answer is to
equip the forts with batteries equal
in power and range to the largest
gun that under the treaty can be
mounted afloat With the stationary
base from which to fire and the far
better means Of range determination
and sighting which are available
ashore, they estimate that hostile
crafts could be kept at arms length
without difficulty.
The situation is understood to have
been presented already to congress.
An item TO cover modernization OF
the canal zone forts is understood to
be included in the pending army es-
Inmates as well as provision to per-
NIT the continued maintenance Of a
garrison there at all times adequate
TO the defense OF the canal from at
tack from sea, land or air.

Longer Time For
PapaI Elections

ROME. Feb. 18.-The cardinals Of
the American contingent have for
mally asked Pope Plus to alter the
constitution of the conclave length
ening the period that must elapse be-
tween the death of the pope and
the convening of the conclave, to en-
able them to attend papal elections in
the future.
The pope has received the request
favorably, and, according to reports
in Vatican quarters, will extend the
period from 10 to Is days, deeming it
unwise to leave the church longer
without a head, especially because
during the interregnum, the cardinal
camerlengo, who takes the pope's
place, has purely executive and leg

| jobs were held by the judge. Both
cases were dropped.
Shortly before the Dalton robbery
in which the loot was nearly three
quarters of a million dollars in lib
erty bonds. Judge Landis had made
some remarks about the low salaries
which he said were paid to- bank
clerks. This was in the case OF a
young Ottawa, ILL.,, bank clerk, who
had attempted to steal $4,000 from
the bank where he worked.
When Judge Lands made the re-
marks he was widely quoted by
newspapers throughout the country.
After the Dalton robbery, some
newspapers quoted Dalton as saying
that he had committed his robbery,
because he felt, through Judge Ian
dis remarks, that nothing would be
done to him. Dalton never said this
and later in a signed statement said
that he had never before heard of
Judge Lands remarks. The story
had spread, however. and the judge
was severely condemned as having
made statements which were de-
clared to have influenced Dalton.
The judge became head of organ
lied baseball shortly after the grand
jury investigation into the 1919 world
series scandal. He was offered $780,
900 a year to take the position and
after several refusals, finally agreed
under condition that he remain on
the bench too. He insisted that his
salary be $42.500. explaining that his
judicial income would bring the total
to $4,000.
Keen Sport Follower
Although SO years old, Judge Lam
dis has always been known as a boy
at heart and a lover of all forms Of
sport. The baseball magnates urged
him to reorganize baseball for the
sake Of the American boy and it
was this plea which finally won over
the jurist.
The resignation of Judge Lands
takes from the federal bench one of
the most feared and at the same time
the most respected judges in the
country. His unusual conduct in
court, where he frequently took cases
out Of attorneys hands and examined
witnesses himself caused him to be
feared by all law breakers. At the
same time his reputation for admin
istering justice, regardless of tech
nicalities which some times obscured
pertinent facts brough him universal
respect
He was vigorous In his attitude
against ti-Americans during the
war. In every war case brought be-
fore him where the defendant was
found guilty, the judge imposed
heavy sentences.

Americanism was particularly DEM

fore him.
In one speech during the war he
advocated that the German Kaiser

CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-Judge Kene-
saw Mountain Lands will end his II
years service on the federal bench or
March /, to devote his entire time tc
his duties as national commissioner
OF baseball, he announced today when
he forwarded his resignation to Pres
ident Harding.
For the past Is months Judge Lam

as federal judge.
At the time he took up his duties
as basebalps dictator, he was Of
fered contract for $4,000 a year,
but insisted that as long as he re-
mained on the bench the amount OF
his salary as judge be deducted from
the total paid him by baseball. The
contract was for seven years.
There are not enough hours in the
day for these activities" Judge Lam
dis declared in announcing his resig-

do everything. I've worked hard.
I've been getting up at o'clock in

Informed that it had been rumored
that he had been advised by his ply

snapped out:

~ He added that he would hold night
sessions of his court to clear his

effect.
Judge I.andis accepted the chair
manship of professional baseball aft
er it had been offered him by unani-

clubs on Nov. 20, 1920, following the
1919 world series scandal and the
trial Of several members of the Chi
cago American league club on
charges of taking part in it.
His acceptance OF the post was
sought on the plea that it was neces-
sary to restore public confidence in
the game.
Rumors of the resignation have
been current for months and intimate
Exiendg have known for some time

that Judge Lands would have re-

bank robber.
Refused to Quit Under Fire
ON the verge of resigning when
these things came UP, the Judge
changed his plans, informing friends
that he would never resign under
fire.
Senator Dial had attacked the
Judge because of the latter's state
ment that bank officials some times
were partly responsible for robberies
by boys because they did not pay
adequate salaries. Senator Dial and
