The Speaker. whose cooperation ~

The Speaker was the target for q

The investigation into the affairs of

tinued before the Grand Jury.
That announcement was made yes
terday by District Attorney Joab H.

McAdoo. The latter suggested a
Grand Jury hearing. said Mr.. Banton,
because the Magistrates courts are al
too busy to undertake the case. The
Magistrate asserted he would be un-
able to devote any more time to the
charges of bucketing against the ex-
change and twelve OF It's members.
Jerome Simmons and Benjamin f.

Pouring out its funds at the rate
of 81, 200, 900 for every day in the year,
including Sundays. the United States
Government, through the Veterans
Bureau. is doing more for ex-seryice
men than any other country in the
losses were lowest of any country in
the world war"
z. r. Forbes. director Of the Vet
erans' Bureau. is authority for this
statement. 1t is timely in view Of the
proposed raid upon the public treas
ury by politicians who favor passage
OF the general soldier bonus BILL esti-
mated to add s4oO, 900, 900 a year to the
Governments necessary disburse-
ments.
Col. Forbes made the statement con-
cerning the benefits now being dis
pensed on account of ex-service men
without respect to the merits or de-
merits Of the general soldier bonus
reau emphasized that he cannot es-
pouse one side or the other Of the con-
troversy for or against the bonus bill
His testimony, therefore, can be re-
garded as non-partisan
Refutation In Analysis.
Officials of the American Legion who
1tr L.,
the bonus bill have made statements to
the effect that this Government is be-
hind other Governments in the benefits
to ex-service men. Col. Forbes's analy-
sis Of the situation is taken as a refuta-
tion of these statements.
The Government just now is paying
out 800 a year In cash and to pur-
chase medical treatment and other ben
efits and services for each ex-seryice
man and dependents of ex-service men
who are In need OF assistance. A total
OF 6fa,5 persons are on the rolls OF
the Veterans Bureau as beneflciaries.
This year the bureau will spend a total
OF s43s.122.40o to buy direct and in
direct aid for ex-service men and their
relatives. Next year the bureau plans
to spend s455.232.7o2. according to the
budget estimates now before Congress.
Only one other item of Government
expenditures for next year exceeds that
proposed for the Veterans Bureau. This
Is interest on the public debt, which
will total more than $500. 100000. For
the Navy Department the Government
plans to spend only sS70. 100000 next
year. or $S5.000.0oo less than for the
Veterans Bureau. The Navy Depart
ment win cost s23,s00.000 less. The
giant pension list OF the United States
next year will total s252. 900. in ad-
dition to the cash TO be paid out by the
Veterans Bureau.
Total Expenditure Up TO Jan. 1.
Since its stablishment-at first un-
der the title OF the War Risk Insurance
Bureau---the Veterans Bureau has paid
out total OF s1.259.e30.730 on account
OF ex-service men and their dependents
This IS the total expenditure up to Jan
uary l. A small army OF clerks and ac-
countants is kept busy daily In the

bursements and the millions OF checks

Insists on a Reservation.

Senator Robinson saw in this activity
proof OF possible secret agreements and
went into the subject OF secret agree
ments generally.
lie charged that secret agreements
were the bane OF the Versailles con-
ference and insisted that a reservation
be attached to the treaty similar TO his
recent amendment forbldding secret
agreements on the part Of Powers en-
tering the compact.
The Arkansas Senator dwelt on the
alleged secret agreement between Japan
and France for the partitioning OF ST.
IBERIA, quoting from charges made by
the representatives of the Chita Far
Eastern Government TO this effect.
Senator Robinson referred to the fact
that while the Angio-Japanese alliance
had been abrogated the French-Jap-
anese alliance. which is a pledge TO re
spect each others contiguous territory.
remains in force and has received little
or no attention.
Senator Borah Joined with him in at
tacklng secret agreements and charged
that no agreement could be made with
any country with any nope OF It being
observed beyond the record OF that
country for keeping agreements. He
charged that Japan IS notorlously lax in
this respect and maintained that In
making the four Power treaty this Gov
ernment abandons China to the rapacity
OF Japan.

object Of attack on the part Of op-
ponents OF the four Power treaty to-
day.
The British Ambassador was quoted
as having said some good things about
the treaty in a speech at Los Angeles
among them that it had averted an
imminent war in the Pacific.
Senator Johnson (Cal), in whose
State this sentiment was uttered. said:
1T is utterly amazing that the Of
fetal representative of the British
Government should be going about
making speeches In favor of a treaty
under consideration by the United

In addition to the alleged inlpro-
priety of Ambassador Geddes engag-
ing in public speeches In favor of a
treaty which has not yet beer ratified.
Senator Robinson (Ark.) cited this as
another instance of secret working
agreements that were probably worked
out, he intimated. during the Con-
ference for the Limitation OF Arma-
ment. Senator Robinson wanted to
know just what there was about the
treaty that seems so good to the Brit
ish that the British Ambassador

the treaty.

The most important development
Of a two hours conference on the
bonus raid on the public Treasury
and business of the country this
afternoon was the decision to pass
the vexatious problem along to Presi-
dent Harding.
The President will find group OF
members awaiting him when he re-
turns to the national capital to-mor.
row afternoon. If he declines to have
his Sabbath day OF rest disturbed the
sorely tried leaders OF the lower
house will go back again Monday.
They are determined to obtain
from the Executive a more definite
statement than he has yet made re.
garding the bonus. though what he
has already said has left little doubt
OF his attitude on the certificate loan
plan now before the House.
stu Hope to Win Him.
For some unaccountable reason the
bonus members OF Congress still dis
play tendency to misinterpret the
lucid and direct declarations of the
President that the only method for
financing the $4,000. 100000 raid that
he could suggest Is the sales tax.
They propose to convince him that
while the sales tax Is frowned upon
by the majority OF the members OF
the lower house, the certificate loan
plan is really not so Objectionable
and undesirable as Secretary Mellon
and other Treasury experts have
painted It.
accuracy TO say that even the most
ardent bonus members are none too
optimistic regarding the prospects OF
convincing the President that the cer-
tificate loan scheme comes within the
objection raised that the Treasury Is
not in position to stand the flnan-
cial strain involved at this time.
They will point to the provision OF the
bill which limits Government cash ex-
penditures to Sl6.0oO,oO0 for three
years. and in the meantime the banks
(Which viii be advised By Comptroller
Crissnger not 70 take the loan GER
tihcates) will advance nearly billion
dollars on them. Comptroller Cris-
singer told the Ways and Means Com
mittee the other day that he would
advise the banks not to do any such

Loss to Exchange.

Magistrate McAdoo's decision to put
the hearing behind closed doors will be
a shock to the members OF the Ameri-
can Exchange. They hoped to be able
to present their case in public. Thus
far most OF the testimony has been de-
rogatory to the exchange. and as a re-
suit the business of all the members has
suffered severely.
George Gordon Battle and Alfred
Massey. representing the American Cot
ton Exchange and its members. asked
that the charges be presented In a police
court, rather than to the Grand Jury.
but they were. informed by Mr.. Banton
that Il depended entirely on how speed
Nv the matter could be handled. He
would have preferred n Magistrate 8
hearing, said Mr.. Banton, because In
that case all the evidence would be q
matter Of record and available for use
in subsequent trials.
When Magistrate McAdoo said that
his other duties would Interfere with
the cotton hearing. and that police
court investigation would probably drag
along for months. Mr.. Banton decided
10 turn the matter over TO the Grand
Jurv in order that indictments may be
asked for speedily against the men ac-
cused OF fraudulent practices.

SAMSON PRICE DROP
BENEFITS FARMERS

To assist further in stabilizing in
dustry thru these last weeks OF read
justment, the Samson Tractor Com
pany announces a further reduction
in the price Of their famous Model
M tractor to $4,000. This makes
the price, including platform and
tenders, belt pulley assembly and
governor control, $555.00.
This is by far the lowest price at
which the Samson Tractor has ever
sold and is especially significant be-
cause it includes the many valuable
improvements made upon the trac-
tor since 1t first came upon the mar
ket three years ago.
The reduction is considered a
temporary one only with the price
subject to be raised without notice.
In making this temporary reduc-
ton, the Company states further:
las soon as farmers can enter the
market again with normal purchas-
ing power based on fundamentally
sound profits from their business,
all inductry can settle down to nor
nal stability and happiness. This
condition, to be permanent and
healthy, cannot be brought about by
merely increasing or .curtailing pro-
duction, by initiating market prices,
or by the artificial means of legisla-
ton. 1t can be fastened, however,
by any means that lowers the cost
