"An association with boys offers
most everything worth while In
life," he said. young Littler,
who spoke before me, suggested
that the vision of man as he be-
comes older, has a tendency to be-
come narrower. He was right.
Mingling with boys tends to lessen
this. An association with boys Of
fers life, enthusiasm, hope-those
things which count most.'
Fathers, sons and society as q
whole will benefit from a closer
relationship between men and
boys, Robert Littler speaking for
the sons, declared. Such a rela-
tionship, he believed, might also
tend at least partially to arrest
the crime wave which is sweep
ing America.
r. H. Thomas, deputy scout
commissioner Of the city Of Port
land, was the chief speaker at
the luncheon and his speech was
warmly received. Frank Johnson,
Chemawa student, spoke on "The
Message to Garcia, "
Four tables were necessary to-
day to take care of the large crowd
and many OF those present ex-
pressed appreciation Of the food

formation

Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 13.-
Mary Miles Minter, motion picture
actress, issued a statement here
today through her attorneys de-
claring she had told Investigators
"all that she knew" Of the life of
william D. Taylor, motion picture
director, slain mysteriously twelve
days ago.
She said she could not conceive
how any person could voluntarily
wrong Taylor.
The statement follows:
Statement Given
There is no personal or finan-
cial sacrifice that I would not
gladly make to bring the slayer
of William Desmond Taylor of
justice.
"Mr. Taylor was one of my best
friends. His death was a great
shock to me. I met Mr.. Taylor
first in 1919 when he became my
director. l was then II years of
age and his inspiration, his un-
falling courtesy and consideration
not only to me but to all with
whom he came in contact, immedi-
ately won my highest admiration.
From 1919 until the day~of his
death Mr.. Taylor was to me the
symbol Of honor and manliness, an
Inspiration, friend, guide and
counsellor, the symbol of all a
girl admires in a man.
Friendship Uplifting
His friendship was uplifting
and his advice and aid were in
valuable. 1t would be nothing
less than veritable ingratitude If
l did not, now that he is dead,
raise my voice to proclaim what
he was and to repudiate those
who besmirch his character.
'I have told the authorities all
that l know of both Of his life
here and in the east. That, l fear,
has been Of little aid TO them.
81 cannot conceive the char
acter Of person who would
Voluntarily wrong Mr.. Taylor or
cause his death"

PLANS FOR
BONUS ARE
DELAYED
Conferences Halted to
Allow Consideration
of Bond Issue To
Finance Scheme

Washington, Feb. 13.-The SOL
diers' bonus question was brought
before the senate today by Senator
Borah, republican, Idaho, who
suggested that requests by former
service men who are not impaired
physically or mentally as a result
of their war service might en-
barrass the government in taking
care of the wounded and disabled.
The Idaho senator said that
SIS, 100000 was a conserva-
tive estimate of what it would cost
the government to care for all dis
abled men before the govern
ment's obligations to them should
be entirely discharged. He assert
ed that the government already
had appropriated 1851, $4,000
during the last five years for the
disabled service men and said
their ranks were growing con-
stantly. ......
This is only the beginning"
said Mr.. Borah. This amount
must continue to grow very rap
idly in the next 80 years. In my
opinion 1t will be a matter of only
ten years before we will be ap-
propriating $1,500,000,000 an
nually for the necessities Of the
disabled men. Day by day their
number is increasing"
Washington, Feb. 13.-Confer-
ences between republicans of the
house ways and means committee
and the senate finance committee
ON the soldiers bonus program
were suspended today pending a
decision from President Harding
on a proposal to finance the cash
feature of the bonus by means of
bonds instead of taxes.
The bond proposal was ad-
vanced by Chairman McCumber
and Senator Smoot, senate con-
ferees, who took the position that
1t would be unwise to increase
taxes. The president, 1t was un-
derstood, expected to discuss the
plan with Secretary Mellon.
Under the senator's plan, short
time bonds to the amount of
about $3.50, 100000 a year would
be issued over the three-year per-
iod during which the cash pay
ment would be made to the former
service men.
Members of the committee were
understood to be opposed particu-
larly to the proposition to increase
the stamp taxes and also to the
suggested 21s per cent tax on
the undivided profits of corpora
tions.
Representative Mondell Of Wy
oming, republican house leader,
discussed the bonus question to-
day with the president. Asked If
the president was satisfied with
the proposed tax plan, Mr.. Mon
dell replied. HAS anyone been
found who is satisfied with the
proposal?"
