casioned their apprehension was un- known to the officials of the state and war departments; but 1t is known that this attitude among some Obregon leaders has been noted by American observers even in Mexico City.
 The reports reaching Washington from the Fl Paso region. while unoffi- cial in character. show clearly that the Juarez situation is full of uncer- tainty. Mexican officers are said to have disclosed their feeling that an uprising against the Mexican gov ernment is impending. American ad- vices so far as known contain nothing to confirm this belief gained from any independent course, though 1t was pointed out today that the precaution- ary measures taken by Brigadier Gen. eral Howze in holding his two cav airy regiments on the post at Fort Bliss night before last. in readiness to prevent firing into American terri tory, indicated that American officers shared the expectation of the Mexican federal commanders that an outbreak was coming.
 There was nothing in today's ad- vices, 1t was said, to warrant any step at this time toward augmenting Gen eral Howze's forces or otherwise strengthening the border troops.

WILL PRESENT BONUS BILL TO
 PARTY LEADERS
Republicans Are Accused of Secretly Framing Measure
 With Aid of Legion
SALES TAXES OPPOSED
Would Work Injustice Upon Entire Population, Says
 Labor President

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The out standing development today in the bonus situation was the unexpected announcement in the house by Chair man Fordney of the ways and means committee, that the bonus bill would be ready for presentation to a caucus of house Republicans within the next 10 days.
 A moment after this statement was made. there was a shout from the Re- publican side of the chamber when the chairman, lifting his voice to it's highest pitch, declared the soldier measure would be passed by Repub- lican house.
 Breaking into the thick of a row over charges by Representative Gar ner of Texas, ranking Democrat on the committee, that the bill was be- ing framed secretly with the aid of representatives of the American Le- zion, Fordney shouted to the Dem ocratic side that the Republicans did not deem it proper to seek advice on the bonus from those unalterably op- posed to 1t.
 While there was no other reference to the bonus on the floor, bonus talk ,swirled through the corridors and for the time being discussions of plans for cutting the army and navy appro- prlatiOn bills was forgotten RepubI1. can members of the ways and means committee, meeting morning and aft ernoon, went over details of the pro posed bill without giving any intima- ton as to the exact form of the meas ure to be reported. The calling in Of John T. Taylor. vice chairman of the legion's legislative committee, and Richard Jones, representing the Vet erans of Foreign Wars, provoked the protest of Garner and his appeal that the house step in an prevent Repub. licans meeting in secret with wit nesses favoring the measure, without admitting Democratic members to lis ten, at least, to the deliberations.
 How far sentiment was swinging tc the sales tax as a means Of raising revenue for the bonus as advocated by President Harding, was the subject ol amending discussion among members It was evident on all sides, however that the Republicans were determined to put the bill through the house, re gardless of what might happen to | in the senate. In the event the bill is in shape for consideration by a Re publican caucus within the time sci by Fordney, leaders said it would be (Continued on Page Two)

NEW COMMISSION
 WILL NEGOTIATE
 F0RE|CN DE 5 l 5
Harding Will Soon Announce Members Appointed Upon
 Allied Debts Commission

WASHINGTON, Feb. r. An nouncement of the membership of the allied debt commission, created by congress to conduct the negotia- tions for the refunding of the s11,- 900 100000 owed this country by for eign nations. will be made Monday or Tuesday, it was saids at the White House.
 The commission Is to be composed of five members, of which Secretary Mellon will be chairman, and it was indicated that it's personnel would in clude a member of the house and sen- ate while high officials are under stood to believe that Secretaries Hughes and Hoover will complete the membership.
 Delay inthe appointments is under stood to have been occasioned by the necessity. of determining the Ques' tion of the constitutionality of nam ing members of congress to the com. mission. but it is now believed there is no legal bar to their service.
 Upon the organization of the com mission, it was said, word will go to the debtor nations through the usual diplomatic channels that the United States is prepared to begin refundine negotiations which 1t Is believed will be carried on in this country unless circumstances arising in the future require meetings abroad.
 According to treasury officials. the government Is ready to begin nego 'tiations at once. although it is be .lieved that actual steps toward re funding arrangements will await the return of Secretary Hughes from Der muda about March 1.
 The total foreign debt owing this country approximates s10,000,000 ,oot of principal and $1,000.00O.000 whicf isheld in the form of demand obliea tfons upon the various nations which underline authority of congress, are to be refunded into long time securi ties of maturities of not more than 25 years, and bearing interest of not more than 1-2 per cent.

 PO OWER PLAN
Government Engineer Claims Acceptance of Offer Would
 Handicap South Growth COMPARED TO NIAGARA Opposes Hundred Year Lease as lmpracticable From
 Business Standpoint

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Accept. ance by congress of the offer of Henry Ford for the purchase and lease of the government properties at Muscle Shoals, Ala. would handicap the water power development of the en- tire south, and in this respect would be like removing the vertebrae from man you expected to get along" Hugh L. Cooper, consulting engineer to the government on Muscle Shoals development, declared today in testi- flying before the house military com mittee. which is considering the offer
 Cooper attacked the offer from prac- tically every angle and at one point declared it would be calamity to re- move the superwater power projects of the south from the fiel dof public utility for 100 years He also pre- sented estimates based upon army engineer data showing that it would cost the government $1,275 5,000, 900 during the next 100 years in order that MT. Ford may secure sole, un- regulated possession of the greatest water power the south has"
 The minimum time for lease of gov ernment lands containing water power possibilities, Cooper said,. should be 50 years. and only that long. unless the license was made subject to the regulations of the federal water power act. He opposed the 1O0-year period on the ground that 1t was impractical ble from business standpoint, and no contract negotiated at this time could be made applicable to condi- tions he believed would prevail m 2O22.
 Another feature of the Ford offer which was mentioned by the witness was that agreeing to pay per cent interest on the money which was nee essary to complete the two dams at Muscle Shoals. He said the total amount expended and required to be spent upon these projects was csss mated at $S3,175,476 should be made interest-bearing, and pointed out that the government was paying 4 per cent and more for the money it had borrowed
 Development of power at Muscle Shoals under the Ford offer, Cooper asserted, would be possible at approx 1mately half the same costs as at Ma gara Falls, and at the Keokuk dam across the Mississippi, and at less than half the rate cost for the same class of energy developed in the com mercial power territory within reach (Continued on Page Two)

Possibility of Break Between Miners and Operators Up
 for Discussion at Meeting

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The cab inet meeting today, 1t was said at the White House. was devoted to dis cussion of the coal situation with ref erence to the subject of cheaper transportation and agitation for lower freight rates. What decision. if any, were reached was not announced
 For several weeks, departments of with the problems presented by pos sible break between the. coal mine operators and the miners on April l, and with the interstate commerce commission investigation of the whole question of freight rates.
 Secretary Hoover, appearing before the commission 10 days ago, urged that the first possible reduction be made on coal rates.
 The relationship between the coal situation and transportation has been further emphasized by the attempts of the mine workers union to bring about an association with the railway unions to resist what they have termed attempts to reduce wages in both industries. Legislative attention has also been drawn to the situation. resulting in proposals for the setting up of a government arbitration board to mediate when threatened by dis putes in the coal industry.
 President Harding some weeks ago authorized Secretary Hoover to bring about a meeting between the heaGs of the railroad unions and the railroad executives, and later approach with a similar object. the coal operators and coal miners union.

Army Officer Suggests That Congress Vote Lump Sum
 for Army Maintenance

WASHINGTON, Feb. IT, A sug. gestion that congress fix on a lump sum appropriation 1t is prepared to vote for maintenance of the regular army for the next fiscal year, and then ask the war department to work out an army plan that would yield the maximum of military efficiency within that expenditure, was laid to- day before the house subcommittee on army appropriations at its initial consideration of the 1923 army bud get. Major General Harboard, depu- ty chief of staff. was the only officer heard. as Secretary Weeks was still at home indisposed, and his appear ance with General Pershing has been deferred until next week.
 Committee members said General Harboard had advanced the lump sum appropriation suggestion in view of the evident desire of the committee to obtain an idea of what would be done with the army in the event of a reduction of the authorized enlisted strength below the present 150,00O figure. It was indicated that the of. ficer had pointed out the difficulties of shaping a we'll rounded military program on the basis of allied strength alone and urged that it would be more. sound procedure tc state the sum that would be available and then cut the army cloth to fit that material.
 Back of the suggestion lies a hope in military circles that congress will work out a continuing financial poli cy for the army covering a period oi years. It is argued that If the army could know just what funds would be made available each year for the next three or four years. it would be possible to frame conservative pro gram and lessen the apprehension
