CONGRESS-
ACTION NAY
KILL BONUS
Recent Amendments NAV
Yet Result in Hard
ing Veto.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, d. c., Aug. 31.-Sol-
der bonus looks hopeless today. A
count Of noses in the senate shows
the improbability of passage over
presidential veto. Charges Of
insincerity are being openly made
for the bill as it passed the house
has been loaded with amendments
which alone would produce presi-
dental veto and the fact that men
who are known to be ready. to vote
against the bonus bill when 1t is
finally presented have helped by
their votes to attach amendments
to. the bill.
American legion men are still
confident that President Harding
will not commit what seems to
them a political blunder in vetoing
the soldier compensation bill. They
argue that Mr.. Harding. acknowl-
edges that in principle he favors a
soldier bonus and that he commit
ted himself to that course in the
1920 campaign. Mr.. Harding has
said, however, that he objects to
the methods proposed for financing
the bonus. II he can be convinced
that the methods are sound, his
fundamental attitude on the bonus
itself would, it is contended, make
it incumbent upon him to sign the
bill.
Enough votes are assured to pass
the measure in the senate and the
friends of the bill have an oppor-
tunity to eliminate the undesir-
able senate amendments when the
bill gets into the conference COM
mittee. So long as there is a
chance Of securing presidential
approvals the champions of the
bill will work to get the thing in
such shape as to attract the presi-
dental pen.
So far as Mr.. Harding is con-
cerned. he has reiterated recently
that he favors bonus, but that
unless sales tax is enacted the
Legislation should be postponed
until the nations finances are in
better condition than they are now.
Senator Smoot proposed a sales
tax and it was rejected in the SEN
ate. Thus Mr.. Harding's request
has been refused and he is in a
position If he chooses to make that
the basis Of his veto.
Harding's Stand.
The president has not publicly
proclaimed his intention of veto
ing the bill, however, nor has he
said 50 in any formal way to con-
gress. In response to inquiries, he
has declared that he did not think

because "the mayor tipped you the

to have known better" the Judge
said. Because Of your age and
because you are subject, in son,e
degree to the order of the mayor

court that the mayor tipped you
the wink to be looking the other
way when these assaults occurred
II am not disposed to punish you

On Aug. II Talcott brought suit
against Moore and the latter was
convicted of fraud and fined. Mrs
Talcott defended Moore valiantly
during the trial and remained his
staunch follower after his convic'
ton. In view of these results
after he had his wife examined ani
pronounced entirely sane, Talcot1
took no further action and flnall,
ended his life. His sister says b,

RESCUE CORPS
WORK TOSAVE
BURIED MINERS
Three Routes of Pos
sible Exit Are
Found.

jackson, Calf. Aug. 31.-(By the
Associated Press. )-Three routes
Of escaping from the smoke choked
underground mine drifts to the
open ground are possible to the A
miners imprisoned since midnight
Sunday in the lower levels Of the
Argonaut mine.
Two are through passages which
workers are cndeavoring to cut
from the Kennedy, an adjoining
mine. The third is through the
shaft of the Argonaut itself.
A second rescue corps, on a level
300 feet below the group that has
worked since Monday to reach the
entombed men today had made per-
ceptible progress. 1t will be long
siege, through 500 to 900 feet Of
loose dirt before 149-foot wall Of
sQlid slate is reached.
This second corps, starting at 6
O'Clock last night, is working from
the $500 foot level Of the Kennedy
mine, burrowing toward the 1900
foot level Of the Argonaut.
Three hundred feet above them
are workers who have drilled in
brief shifts since Monday to cut
through more than 700 feet Of loose
dirt and timbers and 80 feet Of hard
! CT in 10 q
night, slowing their progress. They
estimated there, would be between
80 and 100 feet more of rock and
dirt to be cleared.
Extngulsh Fire.
The fire in the mine shaft is out.
This was the announcement last
night of experts working in the Ar
gonaut shaft itself. The heat in
the shaft, they said, was SO intense
that flames may break out again at
any time. It will be five days be-
fore an entrance may be made
through the fiame-charred section
above the 5000 foot level to reach
the men on the levels below.
But the announcement the flames
were subdued added hdpe to the
groups who wait in shifts at the en-
trance of the pit and gave new
strength to the workers. T.
Hope that the miners are still
alive was still firmly held by the
consulting experts.> They are act
ing on the belief that the men have
lived through more than so hours
OF entombment-that they will be
alive for i've or six days to come.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-A bundle OF
water-soaked letters. found on the
body Of William III. Talcott, bitter
foe and ultimate victim of the love
cult Of Albert J. Moore and his Life
institute, revealed today q tragic
struggle between husband and wife
and the wreckage Of a home brought
about through acceptance by Mrs.
Talcott of Moore's teachings.
The body of Talcott, his pockets
weighted with stones, was found
late yesterday in Lake Michigan.
Positive Identification by the wife
and his sister confirmed the fear
that Talcott, who had been miss
ing from home for q week, was the
unidentified man who had leaped
from the deck of a lake excursion
steamer.
The letters in the dead mans
pocket, written to his wife and from
her, told in terms of pathetic en-
dearment how Moore's hypnotic in
fluence over Mrs. Talcott had shat
tered their home, wrecked their do
mestic happiness, and finally caus-
ed the husband, in despair. to seek
his death.
For four months the couple had
been separated. Now, completely
prostrated by the death of her hus-
band, Mrs. Talcott finds no solace
in the teachings of the cult which
brought, about their estrangement
and bemoans the day when Moore's
influence first entered her life.
Wife's Note.
my darling Will, for you are all
Of that to me and neither God nor
man can make you otherwise" !"

letters in Mrs. Talcott's handwrit-
ing under date Of July % last.
Il love you as I never believed
I was capable Of loving any one
and l ache to go straight to your
arms" the letter continued. in q
peculiar way, which you and / will
understand later, l feel that / am
already in your arms, though / am

CALL MEETON
PREVENTION OF
AUTO MLSHAPS
Deaths at Railroad
Crossings Are on
Increase.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 31.-High-
way commissioners, railroad Off
cials and presidents Of various au-
tomobile clubs in Illinois, were
called upon today in a letter sent
out by the Illinois commerce COM
mission to assist in planning q
campaign to reduce the number OF
accidents to automobiles at rail-
road crossings"
They were asked to attend a
conference here Sept. 20.
Frequency with which accidents
at crossings have happened has
steadily increased recently, not
withstanding the individual efforts
Of the separate railroads and local
highway officials. Warning signs
and bells mark practically all dan
gerous crossings in the state, but
they seem to effect no security
from danger for much of the pres
ent-day automobile traffic, the
commission says.
Consequently the commission has
decided to investigate the situation
as thoroughly as possible, and is
sue a general order. The term and
provisions of thfs order will be de-
termined after the conference to be
held here Sept. 20. The hearing
will be public.
Those who respond to the COM
missions invitation will be asked
for a statement Of their experience,
and these statements will largely
influence the character Of the COM
missions order. Besides securing
this advice from the highway, au-
tomobile club, and railroad offi-
cials, the commission also wishes
that these persons may be inform
ed of the work in progress. so
that the commission and all other
agencies striving to lessen the haz-
ards of railway crossings may
have your hearty cooperation IN
that effort"
1T is a distressing fact" the
commissions letter says, thai
while accidents Of practically ev'
cry other class have steadily de-
creased from year to year. the com
mon use of the automobile has In,
creased the number Of deaths ant
injuries at railroad crossings ut
frightful rate. Statistics Of the In
terstate commerce commission
show that in 1910. 969 personl
were killed and 2,092 were injured
on railway crossings, and that II
the same class OF accidents in 1871
1912 were killed and 4,S1S were
injured in the United States, an in.
crease in the yearly rate OF nearly
rs per cent. In the same period
the yearly death and injury rate
of railroad employees had been de-
creased by nearly IS per cent.
The records Of the commission
show that in Illinois in 1920. 10s
persons were killed and 265 in.
jured, and that in 1921, ISL persons
were killed and 313 injured, while
in each other class Of accidents
there was a substantial decrease
in the number for the year.

Waterville, June S-John Is. Lam
pher of Pittsfield was elected captain
of baseball for the coming year at a
meeting of the lettermen for this
year. Lanpher will succeed Elmer L..
Williams of South Brewer.
Johnny has been a varsity man for
three years and has been the regular
backstop in nearly every game during
that time. The only time that he was
ever shifted was when he played in
right field and Brooks caught in or
der to strengthen the batting list.
1t was expected before the meeting
that Lanpher would be the man and
the election was unanimous. John
has played fine ball during this year
and is considered by many as the
star pitcher of the State. With all
of the men back next year except
Williams and Sullivan, Lanpher ought
to lead a strong team next year.
The team this year has improved
wonderfully under the coaching OF
Freddy Parent and with Parent back
for two more years, Colby baseball is
sure to boom.
Lanpher plays great game OF
basketball and during the winter he
used to be a member of the Colby
Comets, team composed of Colby
men but not a varsity team, that was
considered as good az any five in the
State. He is member of the Delta
Epsilon fraternity.
