BONUS MEASURE
 STILL S|N|NE ERS
Members Inclined to Postpone Action Until Allied Debt
 Negotiations Over

WASHINGTON, Feb' 23.-The sol dier bonus question was allowed to simmer today, the special committee dealing with the question of ways of raising funds deferrine further ses- sions until tomorrow. There was no indication when a decision would be reached, but some committeeman said the bill probably would not be reported ont of the committee this week or next
 There still seemed to be a disDOsi- tion to make haste slowly. Meantime ii was said that there was a growing sentiment amono house members to postncne action until after the debt refu1ding regotiations between the United States and the principal allied nations are put under way. At this time, sentiment in the special com mittee seemed to be for reporting out a bill carrying a anumfacturers' and wholesalers tax similar to that in force in Canada, but with lower rates
 Representative Andrews, Republi- can, Nebraska, came forward with a proposal to finance a bonus partly through the collection from 25 states of $2S,101, ,644.91 loaned them by the federal government S6 years ago. He introduced a bill to direct the treas ury department to call for a refund of the principal with interest at four per cent, from the date of the loans This would yield a total of SPA ,000,- 900. Andrews estimated.
 The balance needed for meeting a soldier bonus could be met through conversion of the British debt into marketable securities, he said.
 Explaining the existence of the fund he proposed should be collected from the states, Andrews said that in 1886, with a surplus of funds on hand and no secure place to store them, congress enacted legislation trans ferring the fund to states on the bas- is of population with the stipulation that it was to remain with the states until congress directs otherwise" 1" Congress has authority, Andrews con- tended, to require repayment.
 The amounts loaned the states, which in each instance. if repaid with four per cent interest, would total more than four times the principal, follows:
 Maine and Maryland, $955,S3S each |; Alabama. New Hampshire and Yer mont S669.086 each: Massachusetts $1,33S,173; Connecticut and New Jer- sey $764,670 each Mississippi Mis- souri and Rhode. Island $3S2,335 each New York $4,014,520; Pennsyl- vania $2,S67 GA; Virginia $2,19S.427; South Carolina and Georgia $1 ,051.- 422 each; Louisiana and Illinois S477, 919 each; Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee $1,435,757 each; Ohio $2,O07, ,260; Indiana $S60,254; Arkan- sas.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-An appli- cation for government loan of $10,0- 000,000 for the National Railway Serv- ice Corporation was amde today by it's president, s. Davies Warfield, to the interstate commerce commission. The loan was asked to facilitate the cor poraion's plan to purchase and repair all or, any part, of the $300.000 bad order freight cars now on American railroads, and to provide new equip ment in addition.
 The service corporation proposes to lease the cars, which it would acquire, back to the railroads for operation under an inspection and rental system which would make them available for traffic demands in any part of the country, instead of being considered part of the facilities attached to any individual railroad.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23. - Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain stood over tine dead body of J. Belton Kennedy, her sweetheart, as it lay on the steps lead ing to his summer home at Beverly Glen here last August, and eXclaim- ed distractedly: "Oh, why did they do it?"
 This was the testimony given by George Deering today before the jury trying Mrs. Obenchain for the mur- der of Kennedy. Deerings testimony departed from that of witnesses at the previous trial of Arthur Burch, co-defendant with Mrs. Obenchain, who testified then that Mrs. Oben- chain said then: "Oh, why did he do it?''
 In support of Deering's testimony Mrs. Elizabeth Eesantry, 6 neighbor of Kennedy in Beverly Glen, testified today that after the shots had awak- ened her, she heard a mans voice say: I've got him."
 The first witness of the day was

 For more than a week prior to the Kennedy murder, man appeared for hours at time in a window of the Russell Hotel, across the street from the Los Angeles office occupied by Kennedy, J. T. McLaren, a broker, testified. McLaren had an office in the same building with Kennedy. He knew Arthur Burch and testified that the man at the window was of about his size and general appearance.
 Deering testified to being stopped by Mrs. Obenchain while he was driving out of the Glen on the night of the killing, and of her cry of "Oh. why did he do it?' as she gazed upon KeInedy's body. He also testified that Mrs. Obenchain told him that she and Kennedy went to the Glen to find lucky penny" which she

 Mrs. Besantry also testified that besides hearing a mans voice say. I've got him." she heard a woman's voice call, "Belton. Belton. answer me. Are you dead? Belton, please speak to me"
 Several postal cards and a letter alleged to have been sent from Mrs. Obenchain during June, 1921, to Mrs M. Louise Wilson proprietor of a beauty parlor here, were read to the jury. In one letter was the state ment that unless Kennedy would give up everything and come to her in San Francisco, she would go to Honolulu and he could go to the dickens"
