Mccormick Girls Brother and
Sister Try to DtSsudde
YOungSter.

CHICAGO, March 6.-F0wler and
Muriel Mccormick today attempted to
dlssuade their sister Mathilde from her
announced intention Of marrying Max
Oser, Swiss livery stable proprietor.
The brother and sister visited with
Mathilde at the home of Cyrus McCor-
mick, chairman Of the board of directors
Of the International Harvester Company,
with whom Harold f. Mccormick has
been making his homo since his wife,
daughter of John D. Rockefeller, OBJ
tanned divorce.
The visit by Muriel and Wowler was
believed to have been in accordance with
the plan Of the Rockefeller branch of
the family to win Mathilde away from
her Swiss hance. While publicly giving
his consent to the proposed marriage,
Harold #. Mccormick also was reported
to be in on the scheme to separate Ma
thilde and Oser.
1t is the hope of Muriel and Fowler
to induce Mathilde to stay in America
for five years before returning to Swift
zerland to marry. They believe if she
stays here that long she will have no
desire to return to Zurich, where she
has made her home for eight years.
Msthilde's present plans are to return
to Zurich in May and marry Oser soon
after.

FOR TREATIES
Says u. S. Can't Turn
Down Arms Parley
Agreements.
URGES ADOPTION
Assures Colleagues
They Contain No
'JOkers.'
URGES ADOPTION

WASHINGTON, March 6.-"The
alternative for such undertakings and
understanding as the armament con-
ference developed, is such a rule of
brute force as will plunge the world
into chaos and threaten humanity
with oblivion" Senator New, Re-
publican Of Indiana, told the Senate
today.
In long prepared statement urg-
ing Senate ratification Of the confer
ence treaties, Senator New, as an
administration spokesman, opened
what promised to be at least another
weeks debate on the four-power Pa
cific pact.
I'VE may not cast aside these treaties
as mere idle words under penalty of be-
ing overwhelmed by the outburst of
righteous condemnation from all the peo-
pies Of the world" New said
1T will not do for us to think these
treaties may he dismissed with a CON
temptuous smirk that, being merely
treaties, they mean nothing, and are
made only to be broken-that they are
valueless."
DECLARES THEY
HIDE NO JoKERS.
II only because the spirit Of sacrl-
fee which flowed in and through the
conference left the world q safer ana
better place to live in, its decisions ought
to meet with the Senate's approval, Sen
ator New contended.
He again adyancrd at considerable
length the Admtnistration's Interpretation
OF the four-power treaty that 1t does
not provide for an alliance between the
United States. Great Britain, France and
Japan, nor for the use of armed force
by them.
Senator New declared If an alliance
were even implied or contemplated by
the treaty be would oppose and advise
against its ratification. He denied the
pact was In any way a reflection or an
oTshoot Of the League Of Nations, as it's
opponents have charged.

SHANK THINKS
ASPHALT FIGHT
ENDED ATLAST'
Issues Ultimatum to Local
Contractors as Regards
Bids.
ARMITAGE CARES NOT

IT think viewed got this asphalt fight
Strengthened out" declared Mayor Sam
uel Lewis Shank today. I've told the
contractors that we are going to get
some decent bids or else we're going TO
go out Of town and get some autside
contractors to bid. Now l think the
contractors who have their money in
vested here in indianapolis don't want
an outsider to get the business, and
think they can bid cheaper than an out
slider il they will. ! think were going
to get some lower bids"
The mayors statement was taken at
the city hall to foreshadOw victory for
John L. Elliott, city civil engineer, in
his fight for lower asphalt prices and
to prevent asphalt from being used ex.
clusively. The engineer and William II.
Freeman and DR.. NJ J. Spencer of the
board of public works have been at log
gerheads for several days because the
board instructed the engineer not TO
specify concrete in street improvements
resolutions.
The engineer wrote a letter to the
board several days ago in which he
pointed out the average price per square
yard on asphalt pavement bid by local
contractors Feb. 20 was $40 whereas
he believed, from study or material and
labor prices, the figure would be fair
at from $3.50 TO So.
Meanwhile William Fl. Armitage, agent
FOR Barber Asphalt Company and leader
in tho Shank political forces declared
he dose not intend to insist the city use
Trinidad asphalt, for which brand he is
agent on practically all street improve
ments. He said, as far as he is concerned,
the board can throw the specifications
wide open and receive bids on every
known kind of paving materials and he
is willing to let his brand take its
chance with the rest.
1t was rumored at the outset Of the
fight between Mr.. Elliott and the two
board of works mmbrs Mr. Armitag
desired the majority of street and alley
improvements to be made with Trinidad
asphalt.

House Slated
to Get Bonus
Measure Today
Payments to SurUiUOrS of Sol
dierS Killed NOIC Chief
Problem.

WASHINGTON, March 6-The certif1-
cate ard loan soldier bonus" bill will
be in the House late today.
Republican members of the Ways and
Means Committee made so much prog
ress in fixing details of the measure that
It virtually is completed at their meet
ing.
Clauses still to be considered were all
approved with only insignificant changes
in wording. The sole problem of conse-
quence remaining for a continued ses.
sion was what to do about payments Of
bonus" to survivors Of soldiers who
have died since the war. The Democrats
will be called in tomorrow perfunctorily.
Their approval or disapprovaI will not
alter the committee's course. As now
drafted, the bill provides a certificate
plan for former service men, with the
exception Of cash for men to whom $50
or less is due.
On the certificates, loan up to so per
cent can be obtained from banks i'm
mediately. There viii be no rediscount-
ing in the Federal banks; and the hold
ing banks can charge no more interest
on loans than per cent above the
Federal reserve red1scount rate. That
would be a total around per cent
ordinarily.
The Republicans are quite satisfied
with their work. They scof at Demo-
Gratis claims the bonus" bill will mean
a new era Of currency initiation frozen
credits" and high cost Of living. They
point out under the loan system, the
banks at the outside would hold not
more than about $500, ,OOO, 900 Of the GER

Shortly before laying the 'bonus7 bill
before the House, Chairman Fordney OF
the House Ways and Means Committee,
planned to go to the White House 10
ask President Harding to reconsider his
announced policy Of no sales tax-no
bonus and to agree to approve the
compensation measure which is about
ready to be passed.

form, but they are anxious to get some

HAND IN POLITICS.
Bitter denunciation Of the Indianapolis
News as the instlgator OF the prosecution
was made by Mr.. Holmes. He termed the
prosecution OF this case a political af-
fair entirely and insisted It was brought
about because Hartman had dared be-
come a candidate for city judge at the

frankly charged that the alleged con
fession" OF Frank Francis. which had
involved Hartman, was obtained by the
News either by its influence or the use
Of money.
He termed William Il Blodgett, repre-
sentative Of the News, who obtained the
alleged confession, 'scavenger' and de-
nOunced officials OF the Louisville police
department for their part In the mat
ter.

loose on Francis, the confessing burglar.
and insisted that the jury could not
convict On testimony OF g man OF his
character or that Of his wife.

Eient which charges that Hartman re-
ceived a fur cape" which had been

hict Of testimony as to whether this fur
