Scion From Philadelphia

On Compensation
PREDICT BILL PASSAGE
Leaders in House Declare
NOn-Cash Gratuity
Will Succeed
United Press neased Wire

WASHIN TON, March 3.A
" blackhand' letter, evidently from
some one in Philadelphia, opposing his
stand on the soldiers bonus, reached
Senator Pepper, Pennsylvania, today.
Pepper, who has opposed granting
n bonus to ex-servicc men, has been
the center of bitter attacks from per-
sons in Philadelphia.
The letter he received today bore
huge blackhand across the sheet aud
in the corner was written the word

Predict Success
WASHINGTON, March 3.--Bonns
leaders in the house predicted today
that the non-cash gratuitv will 90
through congress with comparatively
| little trouble
| The committee engaged in re-
! drafting legislation to eliminate all
cash bonus except for men whose cont
! pensation is $50 or less, estimated that
within two weeks the bill will be
ready. Leaders said they could see
no reason for undue delay thereafter.
! although experience has shown that
! there is many a slip between predic
| tion and enactment.
No Objection, Belief
| Since the insurance certificate pro
posal involves no wrenching of the
treasury within the next three years,
there will be no particular objection to
it among the majority of representa-
tives and senator's. President Harding
is agreeable td the proposal.
The plan will involve taxation of
some kind or other, but that taxation
will be spread in homeopathic doses
over a period of twenty years. Thus
far. it is impossible to estimate the
total cost of this new measure, though
! it is assured that it will run under
So 900 coo, 900 in the complete period.
Bonus Group Meets
The bonus group was meeting again
today, shaping up its measure further.
Considerable detail work must be done.
For instance, rates of interest on loans
made soldiers upon their certificates
much be fixed and provisions must be
written as to re-dscounting the paper.
! Especial care will be taken to shield
soldiers from loan sharks and only
reputable banking establishments will
be permitted to engage in loaning ON
the certificates-then only under well
defined conditions. Under the present
plan, the cash bonus which may be
paid to men serving 10 days would be
$50, because the 500 grant given all
men upon discharge is to- be deducted.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Repubi-
cans have a heavy handicap over the
Democrats in the fight for control of
next Senate.
This fall will witness "a senatorial
battles. To retain control the Repub-
licans must send &. O. p. senators back
to only eight of the 10 seats they now
hold. which are open to reelection, and
the Democrats must return members of
their hearty total of ID seats they hold,
the terms of which expire next year.
Five of the Republican contests are in
the rock ribbed states of Pennsylvania,
Main and Connecticut. Several others
are in states normally Republican.
Present indications are that the Dem
ocrats will concentrate their attacks in
Ohio and the farming regions of the
middle west. with a flank attack in

GOMPERS DECLARES INJUNCTION VIOLATES
OUR CONSTITUTION AID LAWS OF THE LAND
MarcOni Impressed
With Vast Progress
Made With Wireless

LONDON, Sept. -4.-wilnam Marconi,
who has just returned to London from
his American tour, Is enthusiastic over
the vast progress made in wireless tele-
graphy and telephone in the United
States since his last visit. In an inter
view today he declared that the Amer
leans were far ahead of the English in
broadcasting and in wireless develop
ment generally.
The Americans have reached a great
er perfection of detail than have the
British" the famous inventor said.
''The clearness of speech and the re-
markable ease with which messages are
received in the United States are amaz-
ing"
Mr.. Marconi said the music trans
mitted by wireless in America was much
clearer than the phonograph. ''It Is in
fact" said he, "as loud as many Amer
lean jazz bands, and that is saying a
good deal. The party on our yacht
were able to dance to music sent out by
the broadcasting station at Schenectady
n. Y.
In crossing the Atlantic Mr.. Marconi
was able to make numerous tests of the
behavior Of what is called atmospheric
disturbances, These tests seemed to
confirm the opinion that the disturbances
which interfere with wireless originate
on the continents and not on the sea.
When he was naer Europe, they all came
from the east, or European side, whereas,
when he was in mid-Atlantic, he found
that the disturbances were very few and
weak, and that they were coming from
pretty well all around. On nearing
America, the disturbances from the Eu-
ropean side were very weak, while those
from the American side were more
marked.

Hear Answering
Explosion From
EntOmbed Miners

JACKSON, Cal, Sept. 4-Jackson was
still thrilled tonight with the report that
explosions had bee nheard which appar-
entity were answering signals from the
forty six miners who have been en-
tombed In the Argonaut mine for a week.
although officials in charge of the work
declines to discuss the matter and in
sisted Thursday was the earliest date on
which the men could be reached.
The list Of men was reduced to forty
six today by the discovery that one of
the men supposedly under tho ground In
the Argonaut mine had quit shortly be-
fore the explosion and gone to work at
the Kennedy mine. AS his name had not
been taken off the Argonaut pay roll,
1t was at first believed he was entombed.
One of the night crew of the rescuers
working In the adjoining Kennedy mine,
was the man who said he heard five
explosions coming from the Argonaut
when two signal blasts were fired on
the 300 foot level. The miners say the
sounds could not have been caused from
falling rock. Although Thursday is of
ficiaIly announced as the earliest possl-
BILE date for a rescue, opinion in Jackson
is that it is possible the end of the
search may come before that.
At noon today the men working from
the $500 foot level trying to reach the
Argonaut through the old connecting
tunnel between the two mines. which
has been filling with debris since a fire
two years ago, had % feet left to go
in the sixty foot detour they are making
around a formation of hard green rock.
After completing the detour, they will
have 353 feet of the tunnel to clear out
before starting to make Is foot cut
through a 2200 foot rise to the 1900 foot
level of the Argonaut where the entonb-
ed men can be reached through slopes.
