ISADORA DUNCAN "RED"
Waves Crimson Scarf After Dance
In Fllmy Costume

Boston, Oct. 23.-Isndora Duncan
danced in Symphony Hall here this
afternoon in q transparent costume that
left nothing to the imagination and
which left even less when at various
times during the performance the left
upper part Of it slipped from her shoul-
ders with no effort on her part to keep
it in place. -,
And Mt the close of the dance, while
her audience gasped, she walked to the
of the stage lights, waved flaming red
scarf and shouted: -,
This Is red. That Is what l am! -

That ought to simplify coat shopping! 1t
means that it's worth while starting in
Wanamaker's Down Stairs Fashion Store
if one wants the best possible coat at price.
It means, too, that it's hardly safe not to
see the Down Stairs coats during ones shop
ping tour, if the matter of price is important.
Wanamaker's Down Stairs low coat prices
are combined with quality and style. It's
easy to see that. The tweeds and tan sports
cloths and velours and bolivias and the soft
pile woolens and fur cloths are chosen first
of all for their excellent quality.
The coats at $3.50 are trimmed mostly
with the durable wolf-dog black furs from
Manchuria. Finer coats at S65 to $110 all
have handsome fur trimmings.

tinue to foment rumors relative TO the
attitude of the President and to various
members OF the Senate. The actual
situation is that our bill still has the
absolute support OF sixty-seven Senator'S,
and they are ready and desirous of act
ing on the bill the moment the tariff bill
Is disposed of.
Even the antagonistio press comedies
the bill will pass this session by an
overwhelming majority. On Tuesday.
July 20. Senator Watson (Ind.) publicly
stated that the tariff bill would be voted
on about August Is and that our bill
will be taken up and disposed of in four
days. This announcement by one of the
Administration leaders is indicative OF
the attitude of the entire Senate
Democratic Viewpoint.
Here is what the Democratic National
Committee says about the status of
the bonus bill and the legislative pro-
gram in Congress:
1.-The Republican legislative program.
as near as we can guess. which Is the
only means of knowing what the Re-
publicans propose to do, for they never
really have a definite program about
anything. is to send the tariff to con-
ference by September ! and then to
adjourn about October !. The interval
between these two dates is to be de-
voted to consideration of the bonus BILL
1T is generally understood and ac-
cepted that President Harding will veto
the bonus bill in its present form, or
any bonus bill that does not provide
sales tax so that the big taxpayers
will escape payments and the tax will
fall upon the general public made up
of small taxpayerS
with the responsibility on the Presi-
dent for vetoing the bonus bill. 1t Is
thought number of Republican Sena-
tors can be brought to permit the pas
sage of the bill. even though they are
opposed to it. In this way they expect
to fool the soldier by voting for the
bonus, knowing it will never become
a law"

PerpIexity OF sena tors.

Senators are much perplexed over the
positive promises made to the politicians
in the American Legion that they would
support the bill. At that time they had
given little or no thought to the economic
and financial questions involved. Fur
thermore, they thought wave of senti-
ment in favor of the bill would sweep
over the land.
John Thomas Taylor. lobbyist for the
American Legion, continues to keen In
daily contact with the Senators over the
bonus bill. He says sixty-seven Sen
ators are committed to the measure and
when the time comes they will vote for
the McCumber bill. Taylor made this
statement to-day:
There has been no change In the
situation In the Senate relative to the
adjusted compensation bill. The entire
time of that body is being taken UP with
the tariff, and 1t has been publicly stated
on several occasions that they expect to
conclude by August 10, when the House

Democratic Senators are making
much political capital out OF the embar-
rassment of the Republican leaders over
the proposed $1,000, 100000 bonus raid
intended as political bait for the votes
of ex-seryice men.
They are thoroughly alive to the re-
action against the proposed raid from
all sections of the country, and for that
reason they are secretly glad the he
publicans assumed sponsorship for the
measure. OF course without the votes
of many Democratic Senators 1t would
be defeated in the Senate. and the Demo-
Gratis intend to support the measure
largely because it will put more odium
on the Republican party.
Realizing the strategy of the Demo-
Gratis on the bonus issue and that they
occupy an advantageous position, the Re-
publican leaders are keenly worried and
are giving the subject considerable
thought. The only solution which has
suggested itself so far is that President
Harding come to the rescue by asking
that the measure be wiped off the legis-
lative calendar.
Too Busy to See Senator's.
Hoping that the President could be
induced TO take such a course several
Senators went to the White House last
night primarily to discuss the bonus
situation. But they found the President
too much engrossed with the. coal and
railroad problems to take up the sub

Z Democrats and some Republicans In
the Senate say IL the Senate leaders
jam through the tariff and the bonus
bills 1t will go far toward wrecking the
Republican party.
Senate leaders are clearly zap In the
air" over the predicament.s The debate
on the tariff bill is fast drawing to a
close, so that the bonus Issue must be
met within very brief time.
Sponsors for the bonus candidly ad-
init it was proposed as a political ex-
pedient on the assumption that the
politicians in the American Legion could
make good their promise to control the
votes of the ex-service men should the
bill be passed. However, since it. has
been demonstrated in many primary
contests that the support of the bonus
is more of a liability than an asset the
enthusiasm for the measure is now at a
low ebb In the Senate. &

Copper Prices Tirmer.

Although IA cents a pound still re-
mains the top quotation for copper metal,
buyers Of small lots found yesterday for
the first time that they were unable to

Heretofore it has been possible to plr-
chase small quantities of copper at 13B
with the price of IA cents held firm for
larger orders. Inquiry for the metal is
moderate. but copper interests are dis
tinctly optimistic as to the immediate
future. Foreign sales continue to run
about the same volume as for the last
fortnight. with prices Arm around the ID
cent level. AS a result of the improve
ment In the copper industry there has
been a further expansion of operations

shorts run to Cover.

1t has been quite long time since
Wall Street saw such scurry to cover
on the part of the short interest as was
evidenced yesterday. Indications in the
early trading that settlement of the
railroad and coal strikes might be inn
pending started the movement. But
when it was announced that the chiefs
of the opposing railroad forces were
actually getting together there was
wild scramble to buy stocks. Then the
shorts found out the real situation In
the market at this time. They found
that while their sales had been absorbed
without great deal of difficulty they
were very much up against 1t when II
came to taking stocks back. The real
strength Of the markets present position
was we'll demonstrated. The weakness
of recent sessions has resulted more
from a lack Of buying interest than
from any desire on the part of real
holders Of stock to liquidate their hold
