PRINCE OF WALES
is ACCORDED COOL
Greeting, RANGOON
tgv Associated PressD

RANC'lON, Feb. 17.-The attitude of
the people toward the Prince of Wales
was indicated on his arrival here to-
day. The prince was given the Gus
tomary show of welcome, without any
attempt being made at violence. A
large percent of the people who turned
out to greet the prince were children
from government schools and govern
ment-aided mission schools, who were
required to be present
The national or native schools gave
their quarterly examinations today for
the expressed purpose of preventing
the students from greeting the prince.
In the stand where the Associated
Press correspondent was stationed
very few of the people rose from their
seats or gave any form of deferential
greeting as the prince passed by.
Personal inquiry showed that in the
bazaar district a strict hartal tboy-
cott was being observed. Practically
all the Burmese and Indian shops were
/ closed in silent protest of the prince S
visit Most of the Chinese places re
mained open. Very few Charles Gear
| riages), except private ones, were seen
in the streets.

SOLDIER BONUS BILL
REPORTED WITHIN 10
DAYS, SAYS F0RDNEY
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-The sol
dier bonus bill will be reported to a
Republican caucus, within the next 10
days, "and a Republican house will
pass it," Chairman Fordney, of the
ways and means committee declared
in the house today during a discussion
over the manner of it's framing.
Majority members of the committee
in whose hands the soldiers bonus
problem now rests, before meeting to-
day, had indicated they planned first
to consider President Harding's sug-
gestion that the cash payments be de-
ferred until they could be made in a
lump sum instead of spread over a
period of two and half years.
1t was stated that officers of the
American Legion would be called into
conference first to give their views on
this alternative, which the committee
planned to examine instead of taking
up Immediately the question of taxa.
tion or other means of financing the
bonus.
Whether the bonus bill could be put
through with general sales tax pro
vision as recommended by the Presi
dent in his letter yesterday as the
only alternative, in his view, to post
ponement of the legislation was re
garded by leaders generally today both
Republican and Democratic, as too un
certain to warrant prediction, in view
of the strong opposition to such a tax
Some of those favorable to such a tax
however believed that many of those
now opposed to it would come to &C
cept such a provision in the bill rather
than see the bonus program defeated

WADMAN CASE
SENT BACK TO
GRAND JURY
Call for Next Monday Issued
by Judge Bond at Prosecut-
or's Request After Judge
Springer S Ruling.
ACCUSATION IS FAULTY

The case of Carl Wadman, Wayne
county sheriff, accused of carelessness
in office as a result of the escape of
William H. Coleman from prison last
November, has been referred back to
the Wayne county grand jury. A call
for the grand jury to convene next
Monday was issued Friday morning by
Judge w. A. Bond at the request of
the prosecuting attorney.
The action of the court Friday morn
ing followed ruling by Special Judge
Raymond Springer that the accusa-
tion filed in December by the grand
jury at that time was bad for du-
plicity," and should be divided into
separate paragraphs.
| The case will come before the grand
| jury Monday as a new case and all
evidence will have to be presented
again, according to a statement of
| Prosecuting Attorney Beckett
Gist of Decision
| The gist of Judge Springer's de-
cision which was announced Friday
morning before attorneys for the
state and defense, follows:
! This accusation was filed in one
| paragraph only, and that paragraph
alleged that the defendant as sheriff
did voluntarily, carelessly and negIi-
! gently permit William H. Coleman to
escape. Permitting a criminal to es-
cape while in the custody of an officer
of the law is felony, rendering that
officer liable to punishment by two to
IA years in the state prison. There
fore. that part of the accusation which
i alleges that he voluntarily permitted
the prisoner to escape constitutes
grounds for crime. which is one of
the grounds on which an officer may
be impeached.
"The accusation also alleges care
!, lessness, which is another ground for
imp peachment Therefore, two grounds
for Impeachment are mentioned in the
! same paragraph. By striking out the
word which alleges carelessness, we
; still have good grounds for impeach-
ment; and by striking out that part
which relates to voluntary escape,
we have grounds for impeachment on
the other charge.
L Would Have Burden
''lf the accusation is allowed to
stand as it is at present, the state
! would have the burden of proving the
accusation as filed and two charges
would have to be proved. Both the
: voluntary escape and the negligence
would have to be proved.
THE law gives both the state and
the defendant the right to have the
pleading properly separated. The mo
/ tion to separate the accusations will
be sustained"
By this ruling the accusation was
referred back to Paul A Beckett
: prosecuting attorney. Beckett viii
lay the case before the grand jur,
next Monday

Rep. ELLIOTT TELLS
NEIGHb0RS FEDERAL
PAYROLL BEING CUT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Null
town Grange, Fayette county, Ind,
wants all 'salary-grabbers" and seat
warmers" on the federal payroll to
join the already extensive army OF
unemployed. The grange has appealed
to Rep. Richard N. Elliott to assist
in this reform. He has advised the
members of the organization who were
his neighbors when, as boy, he lived
on his fathers farm, that the work of
separating inefficient and surplus
government employees from their
swivel chairs has progressed so expe-
ditiously the past year that the pay
roll is now within hailing distance of
normalcy.
Official reports show that during the
year which ended June so, 1921, 1854
people were dismissed from the gov
ernment service, and since the arm
! istice 320,27S employees have been
dropped from the civil pay rolls. There
have been several thousand dismissals
since last June but the actual figures
are not available at this time. Only
few weeks ago Secretary of War
Weeks ordered another reduction of
900 mployes of his department, with
the result that that department is
now on a pre-war basis
Resolution Adopted
The resolution adopted by the Null
| town Grange and submitted to Rep
Elliott reads, in part:
Owing to the eXigencies of the war
many persons were employed by the
| different departments at Washington
| Now that peace is established the
need for such extra help does not
| further exist. Therefore, to forward
| the spirit of economy and tighten the
heavy burden of taxes, be it resolved
| That Nulltown Grange of Fayette
county, Indiana, ask our representa-
! tive and senators to use their influ
ence in removing thase salary-grab
| bers. seat-warmers and parasites from
| the payroll of the United States gov
ernment."
The grange also went on record as
| favoring the proposed amendment t
the federal constitution prohibiting
! the issuance of tax-exempt securities

] town but it is a rich farming com
munity and has also produced three
