For and Against
Bonus Is Issue
in Senate Race

Tampa, May 15.-Saturday nights
debate between Senator Park Tram
nell and General Albert Gilchrist de-
veloped that the only real issue, On
which the candidates differ is that
of bonus, Trammell favoring a bo-
nue. and Gilchrist being opposed to it.
The seekers for the senatorial toga
met three times Saturday and local
observers believe that Trammell
seemed to have the crowds with him.
Both reviewed their records, more
or less tedious, the only specific
charge General Cilchrist making
against his opponent was that he
hung back on woman's suffrage for
many months when his vote would
have put it over. He said he favored
|entering the league of nations, which
Mr.. Trammell opposed, and that he
also favored accepting Henry Ford's
offer for Muscle Shoals and that he
opposed bonus for soldiers, except
those disabled, because it would be
unfair to veterans of other wars.
Mr.. Trammell declared himself un-
equivocally in favor of soldier bo-
nus, quoting statistical data to show
that every other class of people in
the country railroad operators,
ship yard owners, all-had received
compensation from the government
mounting into the millions. He said
that huge sums had been paid out
to subsidized corporations since the
war in one form or another of adj
Justed compensation, and questioned
the right to deny to those who risked
their lives for their country that
which was extended to profiteers and
major capitalists.
In concluding he explained that his
opposition to the suffrage bill at its
first appearance was due to the fact
that ne did not care to see the negro
women OF the south enfranchised at
the same time as the white women.
He was in favor, he said, of this mat
ter being left optional with the state.
The admittance of negro women to
the ballot, he alleged caused the loss
OF Tennessee and Kentucky to de-
mocracy at the last election.

WORLD WAITING
FOR WASHINGTON
TO join CONFAB
Formal Invitation Is Is
sued to America to
Help Cause
MEET NEXT At HAGUE
Genoa Conference Ad-
mittedly Is Failure in
Accomplishment
(By Associated Press)

Genoa, May 15.-What the Genoa
conference has failed to do-solve
the Russian question-it is hoped to
accomplish at another meeting if the
United States will participate. A
formal invitation to the new con-
ference to be held at The Hague was
handed to the American ambassador
Richard Washburn Child, last night,
and today all eyes were on Washing
ton, for upon the question of Ameri-
can participation the chance for an
agreement with the Russian is be-
lieved to depend.
All the powers now represented
here will be asked to send delegates
to The Hague meeting the date for
which is tentatively set as June Is.
Other details for the gathering are
unsettled, but at the suggestion of
Prime Minister Lloyd-George of
Great Britain, non-aggression truce
for four months or until the new con-
ference ends it slabors has been ap-
proved informally. The subcomniis-
sion on Russian affairs met today to
vote on this and the other features
of the plan arrived in the private con-
versations participated in by Mr..
Lloyd George and the other repre-
sentatives of the five inviting pow
ers.
Inasmuch as the Russian question
was the main topic up for settlement
at Genoa, the failure of the present
negotiations will bring the confer
ence to a quick end and adjournment
probably will be taken before the
end of the present week.
The Eague conference would con-
sist of two committees of experts,
one for the Russians and the other
for the remaining powers participant
ing at Genoa, but it is extremely
doubtful whether the Russians will
consent to the plan as it now stands.
While the British delegation has
intimated that the two committees
would cooperate and be on an equal
footing, the French and the other
delegations supporting their view
give the impression that the Rus
slams panel would not attend all the
sessions of the full conference. For
this reason the Russians are said to
look upon the project as an attempt
to place them in a position of infe
riority, and the subcommission at its
meeting today will attempt to over
come this difficulty.
NJ. Chitcherin and his associates
have constantly insisted that Rus |
,ia cannot tolerate that her affairs |
be discussed by any commission in
which she is not reported on basis
If equality with other nations. In
,ther words, they say they are not
playing the role of a conquered ma
ion, and will not be treated as in
'eriors.

Memphis CAPITALIST
IS ARRESTED CHARGED
WITH MURDER Of WIFE
tBy Associated Press)


Memphis, Tenn, May 15.-Miles G..
Buckingham, prominent capitalist
and club man of Memphis, was lib
Grated today on $4,000 bonds fol-
lowing his arrest Saturday on a
charge of murder in the first degree
in connection with the death of his
wife last Tuesday night. Mrs. Buck
ingham died from a bullet wound in
the abdomen, received while she and
her husband were travelling from BIZ
loxi, Miss, to Memphis by auto.
Mrs. Lorraine Buckingham was a
prominent society woman and a
member of a wealthy family and is
said to have frequently made appeals
recently for protection from her
husband. The arrest of Buckingham
was made on demond of T. ]. Horton,
chief of police of PEkens, Miss,
where Mrs. Buckingham died.
Buckingham, said to have admitted
the accidental shooting of his wife,
is said to have further declared that
she was shot only once. This, Chief
Horton declared, he had proved
wrong, for he announced the discov-
cry in the automobile of two steel
jacketed bullets of the type used in
an automatic pistol. He further de-
clared he had established that Mrs.
Buckingham was shot from behind
and not from in front as at first sup
posed, and that her clothing, WHICH
now is in custody of Lieutenant
Governor Casteel, of Mississippi,
whose home is in Pickens, was torn,
and that Mrs. Buckingham was
bruised on the left shoulder.
Mrs. Buckingham died in Jackson
hospital, where she was taken from
Pickens after receiving first aid
treatment from DR.. Williams, a
hrother-in-law of Lieutenant Cover
nor Casteel.
According to Homer H. Casteel,
lieutenant governor of Mississippi, to
whose house Mrs. Buckingham was
taken by her husband Immediately
after the shooting, despite Mrs.
Buckingham's statement that the
shooting was accidental she would
not let her husband come near her
while she was being treated by Doc
tor Williams in Pickens.
buckingham told me that his wife
had shot herself" Mr.. Casteel SAID
ale made that statement in her
presence and she did not deny or at
firm it. / asked where the gun was
and what kind it was and Buckng-
ham said that he didn't know. That
made me suspicious and went out

came out and l asked him rather
heatedly why he said he did not have
any liquor when DR.. Williams WISH
ed to give some to the woman he
replied that it was lubricating oil"
According to Mrs. Casteel, who re,
the clothing of the wounded
woman, her shoes and hose up to 'he
