Chairman Fordney of Ways
and Means Committee
Says Measure viii Pass
Republican House.
OTHER BILLS IGNORED
IN BONUS DISCUSSION
Secret Framing of Measure
By Republicans With Le-
giOn Representatives Is
Attacked,

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE out
standing development today in the
bonus legislation situation was un-
expected announcement in the
house by Chairman 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 ten
days,
A moment after this statement
was made there was shout from
the republican side of the chamber
when the chairman, lifting his
voice to its highest pitch, declared
the soldier measure would be passed
by a republican house.
Breaking into the thick of a row
over charges by Representative
Garner, Of Texas, ranking demo-
Crat on the committee, that the bin
was being framed secretly with the
aid of representatives of the Ameri-
can legion, Mr.. Fordney shouted to
the democratic side that the repdD.
licans did not deem it proper TO
seek advice on the bonus from these
unalterably opposed to it.
While there was no other refer
ence to the bonus on the floor,
bonus talk swirled through the ctr-
ridors and for the time being dis
cussions of plans for cutting the
army and navy appropriation bills
was forgotten.
Republican members Of the
ways and means committee, meet
ing morning and afternoon, went
over details Of the proposed bill,
without giving any intimation as to
the exact form of the measure to
be reported. The calling in OF
John I. Taylor, vice chairman OF
the legion's legislative committee,
( and Richard Jones, representing
the Veterans of Foreign Wars, pro-
voked the protest of Mr.. Garner
and his appeal that the house sep

| in secret with witnesses favoring
the measure, without admitting
democratic members to listen, al
least, to the deliberations.
| How far sentiment was swinging

raising revenue for the bonus as
advocated by President Harding,
was the subject of unending discus
sion among members. 1t was evil
Gent on all sides, however, that the
republicans were determined TO
put the bill through the house, re-
gardless of what might happen to it
in the senate. In the event the bill
is in shape, for consideration by a
republican caucus within the time
set by Mr.. Fordney, leaders said it
would be passed prior to March a.
"There is no power in the house
to head off the soldier bonus now

eemed to be the view of most memr

Bischoff has been living in a pre-

years old, single, and was once
scout master of the troop of Boy
Scouts attached to the University
of Chicago settlement.
Attorney James ]. Kelly, OF coun-
sci for "the financier," declared
Bischorf had violated no law, but
had simply lost money speculating.
"He gave only promissory notes
to his clients, and no man can be
imprisoned for failure to pay such
a note if he hasn't the money" said
Mr.. Kelly.
Bischoff says his operations
started when he invested $3.50 for
the father of a Boy Scout friend
which netted the father $500.
Others hearing of this, he says,
gave him money to invest.

In the chamber the socialist dep

the government be not allowed to

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 han
dicap the water power development
of the entire south and in this re-
spect would be like removing the
vortebrae from man you expect
cd TO get along" Hugh L. Cooper,
consulting engineer to the govern
ment on Muscle Shoals develop
ment, declared today in testifying
before the house military commit
tee which is considering the offer.
Mr.. Cooper attacked the offer
from practically every angle and
at one point declared It would be
n calamity to remove the super
water power projects of the south
from the field of public utility for
100 years. he also presented esti-
mates based upon army engineer
data showing that il would cost the
government $1,275,000.000 during
the next 100 years in order that Mr..
Ford may secure sole, unregulated
possession of the greatest water
power the south has"
The minimum time for lease of
government lands containing water
power possibilities, Mr.. Cooper
said, should be fifty years and only
that long unless the license was
made subject to the regulations of
the federal water power act. He
opposed the 100-year period on the
ground that 1t was impractical
from a business standpoint and no
contract negotiated at this time
could be made applicable to condi-
tions he believed would prevail in
2022.
Another feature of the Ford Of
fer which was mentioned by the
witness was that agreeing to pay 4
per cent interest on the money
which would be necessary to COM
plete the two dams at Muscle
Shoals. .He said the total amount
expended and required to be spent
upon those projects, estimated at
$S3,175,475. should be made inter-
est bearing. and pointed out that
the government was paying 4 per
cent and more for the money It had
borrowed.

all of whom have vital interest in

"The representative ratio of ma

clared, by any subsequent alliance
entered into by one of the power
parties to the new naval treaty.
1t would have been wise. he
thought, to have prohibited any
party to the treaty from making
an alliance or agreement with one
or more of the members.
Some minds functioned differ

til settlement was made of certain
questions left unsettled at Wash

Albuquerque's community hotel
came one step nearer to realization
when the contract for the construc-
ton of the big building was let last

rooms, most of them with bath.
Speaking of it, the contractor said:
mo building in the southwest is
more fitted to meet the needs of
the climate. 1t will be cool in sum-
mer and entirely suitable all the
year around. Your board saved at
least $4,000 by the use of the de-
signs chosen in preference to the
conventional designs"

IMPORTATION BUREAU FOR
EVERY HOME

The Information Bureau of the Jour
nal, which was launched last week
with it's major feature in the seashore
schedule, presents this week a great
variety of useful information that will
be greatly appreciated.
The information will be found this
week on pages 3, 4 and 7. Space
at the bottom of these pages was set
apart. In the issue next week perma-
nent location in the Journal will be
set apart until the last issue in Sep
TENDER. An index will be printed on
the first page to facilitate the locating
of any desired subject of information.
other features will be added for which
we did not have space this week.
The Seashore Schedule illustrates
how our visitors in a single day may
take an all-shore trip, passing through
all the resorts between Wildwood and
Atlantic City, with agreeable time in
Sea Isle City and Ocean City.
The fare to Atlantic City n way is
S1.33. This includes boat to Stone
Harbor, P. r. R. to Ocean City and
Shore Fast Line to Atlantic City. The
opportunity will be enjoyed of seeing
the ocean almost the entire journey.
The one-way fare to Atlantic City via
Newfeld on the P. r. R., or via Wins
lowJunction on the Reading costs
$2.99, more than double. You turn
your back on the ocean when leaving
wildwood and do not see it again I'M
til you arrive in Atlantic City. The
round trip to Atlantic City via the all
shore route costs less than the one
way fare via all rail route, and pro-
vides the sea breezes during the en-
tire journey.
Citizens or visitors can furnish or
request any desirable information that
will be useful to a large number of in
d~ividuals by addressing communica-
tions to the Information Bureau, Five
