Washington, March 20 - President
Harding had three separate engage
iments today with house members to
discuss the soldiers bonus question.
He was in conference first with Re-
publican leaders who hoped to obtain
executive approval of their plan to put
through the compromise bonus bill
with the bank loan provision.
Later the President saw Speaker
Gillett with whom rested the decision
as to suspension of the rules for ac-
ton on the bill today. Following the
Speaker Representative Lineberger,
of California, a former service man
was on the White House engagement
list. Mr.. Lineberger recently circu-
lated a petition for a conference of
house Republicans for Tuesday night
to thresh out the whole bonus ques-
tioh. He has obtained the necessary
number of signatures to assure a con-
ference call but is deferring presenta-
tion Of the petition to Chairman Tow
ner of the Republican house confer
ence in the hope that the situation can
be ironed out without general meet
ing.
House leaders calling on the Pres
ident were Representative Mondell,
wyoming, Chairmen Fordney of the
ways and means committee, Chairman
Campbell of the rules committee,
Chairman Fess, of the Republican
committee, Chairman
Towner, of the party conference, Rep
resentative Longsworth of Ohio, a
member of both the ways and means
and Republican steering committees,
and Representative Mann, of Illinois. |
These leaders gave the President
Iirst hand information as to the de-
Velopments in the bonus situation
while he was in Florida and also ex-
planned the controverted bank loan
provision. They took up also with
Mr. Harding the question of whether
t was advisable to pass the bill under
suspension of the rulees which
would cut off all amendments and
preclude any motion to reeommit the
ill.

TEX RICHARD GOES TO
TRIAL TODAY FOR HIS
ATTACKS ON CHILDREN
(By Associated Pressl

! New York, March 2O.-Charge.
that Tex Rickard had improperl,
conducted himself wmit hseveral lit.
tie New York school girls came un.
expectedly on January q from the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children. Officers in that organ
ization appeared in magistrate's Is
court with Alice Ruck, 15-year-old
daughter Of an east side widow who
works as domestic, and complained
that the promoter of sporting events
had criminally assaulted her on sew
eral occasions.
Two of Alce's companions, Anna
Hess, II, and Elvira Renzie, IL, went
along with her as Richards accusers.
Both are daughters of poor east side
workers. Anna told that Rickard
tried to assault her, and Elvira Rem
zie was detained as a witness.
The following week Nellie Gasko,
IL years old, was reported missing.
In a few days detectives found her
on a farm near Wappingers Falls,
N. Y, with a private detective, Ma
than Podd, who was brought to New
York and charged with kidnapping
and bribing "witness in a pending
criminal action"
Meanwhile, Alice Ruck and Anna
Hess had testified before magis-
trate that Rickard first approached
them hile they were in their bathing
suits at his public swimming pool in
Madison Square Garden last summer.
They said he had first paid them
pretty compliments, then given them
a dollar each. On subsequent trips
to the garden they said they chatted
with the promoter and that after
asking if they would like to have a
glass of wine, he took them to his
offices in the tower of the garden
and there misconducted himself. This
.ower, surmounted by bronze stat
lie of Diana, figured in the Thaw case
IS having contained the room OF
mirrors attached to the studio of
Stanford White.
Early in the fall, the two girls tes-
flied, Rickard had them visit him in
IN apartment in West 47th street,
ew doors from Fifth avenue, and
here, also, they said he assaulted
hem. This happened several times,
hey asserted.
When their stories had been heard
nd those of others were told to the
,hidren's society, the evidence
gainst Rickard was taken before
he supreme court grand jury, which
returned four indict- 7
rents against him. Two of these {
harged that he criminally assaulted I
lice Ruck and Sarah Schoenfeld
nd the other two that he had ab- II
ucted Anna Hess and Nellie Gasko. I
ickard pleaded not guilty to all four
nd, pending his trial, was under
5000 bail.
After his indictment and before his IS
ial. Rickard gave up his official C
with Madison Square Gar =
N and the promotion of boxing !

at famous old rendezvous of sport

According to the story of the af-

S. w. Second street, across the street
from where the young men roomed,
they were inveigled Wednesday night

party were to get chicken dinner.
After the dinner, as the six men
emerged from the dining place, sew
eral cars loaded with men drove up
and one of the men who jumped out,

ANALYzf RETURNS
 ON INCOME TAXES
(By the Associated Pressl


 Washington, March 7.-Tnteresting bits of information relating to Amer ican incomes included in the treasury departments report covering returns for the calendar year 1919, which has just been made public.
 Contrary to popular opinion, the largest percentage of returns accord ing to population was not from the wealthy industrial centers, but from Alaska and the District of Columbia. The territory's showing, 17.17 per cent, was explained by the number of individuals operating their own business, while that of the District of Columbia, 13.40 per cent, was believ- ed to have resulted from the high ratio of government employees with salaries of more than $1 900 year.
 The southern agricultural states in- variably were far down the list, Mississippi citizens making returns comprising only 1.S3 per cent of the total population; North Carolina 1.45 DOT cent, and Alabama 1.74. New IOrk lea Tn total returns With more than 5,000,000
 An analysis made hy the treasury of the sources of income showed that those in the $1,000-SZ,OOO class ob- tained 77 per cent of their personal revenue from wages and salaries, 3.8 per cent from rents and royalties IA per cent from dividends and AZ from interest on investments. This was contrasted with the taxpayer with an income of one million dollars who drew only 1.34 per cent from salaries, 23 per cent from partnerships, II per cent from sale of real estate, stocks etc., 6 per cent from rents and royal ties, 38 per cent from dividents and II per cent from interest on invest ments.

SUCCESTSPFANUTS
 AS A FEED CROP

Thin land that will not grow more than 10 or b bushels of corn to the acre can be much more profitable put in Spanish peanuts, according to s. F. Dorrill of the Faulkner County Bank & Trust Company. Such land, he says, will produce 35 to 40 bushels of peanuts per acre, and he claims the peanuts are as valuable, bushel for bushel, for stock feed as corn, while the tops are equal to alfalfa for hay.
 Seed peanuts can now be purchased at reasonable price, MT. Dorrill said, selling to S1 per bushel, where as S2.50 was charged during the high price era. He thinks every farmer ought to plant considerable part of his fed crop in peanuts.
