SOLUTION OF SOLDIER
BONUS QUESTION
House Ways And Means Committee
Republicans Reach Unanimous
Agreement On Compromise
Measure,

! Washington, March 3.-Unanimous
agreement on compromise soldiers
bonus bill along the general lines
outlined officially yesterday, was
reached today by house ways anc
means committee republicans, who
believed they had found solution OF
the problem which has been giving
administration and congressional
leaders concern for several weeks. The
revised measure, however, still has a
long road to travel before it reaches
the statute books.
AS now drawn, the bill provides
for cash payments only to those men
whose adjusted service pay would
not exceed $50 and these four optional
features:
Adjusted service certificates with
an added loan provision, which would
enable the men to obtain Immediately
from banks sum total equal to so
per cent of the adjusted service pay;
vocational training, home and farm
aid and land settlement.
In working out details in the certi-
tlcate loan provision, which was sug-
gested originally by Representative
Bowers, republican, West Virginia,
the majority committeeman reduced
the face value of the certificate,
which would be the amount of the
adjusted service pay plus 25 per cent,
plus interest at Az per cent, COM
pounded annually instead of the SER
vice pay, plus 40 per cent plus the
interest as originally proposed. 1t
was thought this would result in a
saving to the government up to pos
sible maximum of half a million dol
lars.
Banks in making loans on the GER
tificates could not charge an interest
rate in excess of 2 per cent above the
rediscount rate charged by the
regional federal reserve bank on 80
day paper in the district where the
loan was made and they could not
make the loans for period in excess
of three years from the date of the
certificate, which would not be re-
discountable by federal reserve banks.
If the loans had not been paid on
30, 1925, the banks could
make demand on the government for
the money due. The government, it
was said, then would cash the certifi-
cate, pay the bank and turn the re-
over to the service man. The
cash surrender value of the certificate
on that date would be s. per cent of
the adjusted service pay plus interest
at Az per cent compounded annually
from the date of the certificate. This
also would be the loan value for fed
eral advances as of that date.
Committeeman said it was not
possible to estimate how much mon
~ the government would have to adj
'ance on and after September 80,
1925, as this would depend first upon
he number of men electing to take
certificates and second, upon the
number borrowing from the banks
md defaulting in payment or borrow
ng directly from the government.
Some members of Tie committee
stimated that if all of the men took !
certificates and held them for the
ull 20 years period, the ultimate cost /
f the bonus would be approximately
our billions Of dollars. They thought
owever, that this sum would be re-
uced by perhaps billion dollars or
nore through borrowings or forfeit
res.

prices gave way toward the last ow-
ing largely to report of British Of
fers TO resell wheat at cents less
than Chicago was asking. The close
here was heavy. 1A to 3 cents net
lower, with July and September both
at $I.12 to S1.12b. Corn finished un-
changed to q cent lower, oats ss cent
off to Il cent advance, and provisions
up II to 81 cents.
In connection with the downturn
of values in the wheat market near
the end of the day. talk Of British
reselling was emphasized by word
that good rains had fallen in India
and Australia, and by estimates that
India would have an exportable sur
plus of 50,000,000 bushels. Besides,
domestic crops were being favored by
good weather, and the hot wave over
Canada was broken.
Furthermore mills. appeared to be
taking as little old wheat as possible
and to be waiting for new.
An advancing tendency which the
wheat market displayed up to the
final half hour of the session resulted
to a large extent from the fact that
a post-holiday decline in Liverpool
quotations turned out to be smaller
than was looked for, and was further
discounted by an advance in sterling
exchange. Another bullish factor was
big shipments from Chicago, 100000
bushels clearing yesterday. whereas
arrivals here today were only dozen
carlots.
Corn and OATS prices were domi-
mated by the action of the wheat
market. Higher quotations on hogs
gave a lift to provisions.

Copper Situation-There has been
no particular changes in the copper
situation during the past week other
than a strengthening Of the price at
IA cents. No further movement of
the price is anticipated for short
time, although it is freely predicted
that it will hit Is cents by July |.
The rise win probably come as
quickly as did the rise from Is to IA
cents and will take place the latter
part Of the month.
Morenci-In spite OF the feeling
that the Morenci plants OF the
Phelps Dodge corporation were to be
shut down Indefinitely, it has been
announced that 100000 pounds Of
copper in the form of concentrates
will be shipped monthly to the smell
ter at Douglas starting June l.
Bisbee-Announcem has been
made that the Copper Queen branch
of the Phelps Dodge corporation will
increase it's production to 100000
pounds monthly. This does not in
clude an increase in the men en-
ployed but rather Encouragement OF
the present force on the ores of higher
copper content.

body at the Central Copper company,
which was discovered last week, is
now 80 feet in width and averages s
per cent copper. The first 10 feet en-

Senior Day
Yesterday was Senior Day at the
Normal, but for a while in the morn
ing most of the Normal thought 1t
was going to be Junior Day. While
the seniors were still dreaming of
the glorious times they would have
teaching the little country schools
out in the Arizona desert. or While
they felt secure from any lurking
dangers from the enemy, the Juniors
made a forced march, flanked the
enemy. stormed the ramparts and the
citadel and took possession of every
thing. Junior colors were run up at
every vantage point. Some of the
colors are SO high that the seniors
will not be able to pull them down
until they pass them on their way
to heaven. When the naughty seniors
realized what had happened. it was
not long until they had rallied their
brave fighters, male and female. and
made a daring fight for their rights.
No one knows the number of the
vanquished on either side and both
claim victory. 1t was perfect day
and it will long be remembered by
all the seniors and juniors.
In the evening the seniors put on
stunt program and then organized
the lantern parade" to the top of
the Buttes, where the final ceremony
of turning over the Normal, the
Buttes and the rest of the universe
to the juniors was solemnly enacted.
The final commencement program
for the year will be on Thursday.

Days Review of
the New York
Stock Market

NEW YORK, June 6.-Divergent
speculative operations as indicated by
buying and selling orders in the steel
issues created further confusion of
prices in the stock market today.
Dealings slackened visibly from re-
cent active periods, sales barely ex-
ceeding 100000 shares.
Independent steels sustained addi-
tional losses In consequence Of the
action of the federal trade commits
sion in the Bethlehem Lackawanna
steel merger. Lackawanna fell 4
points and gross declines of ! to 2
points were made by kindred shares.
United States Steel. which has
shown especial strength since Chair
man Gary's recent appearance before
the Lockwood committee, rose to
within a fraction of its high record
made yesterday but closed at a NOM
inal reaction.
4 p'avorites OF the oil, motor. equip
Nnsnt and metal groups were under
steady pressure; final prices in ma
iority Of instances showing moderate
losses. Among the exceptions were
Phillips Petroleum and Cosden, both
finishing strong.
Investment rails repeated their
1anguid movements Of the past few
weeks, but minor speculative trans
portations developed sudden ACTIVITY
and strength on heavy buying of To-
ledo, St, Louis g. Western common
and preferred, Peoria & Eastern,
Lake Erie & Western common and
preferred, Western Maryland COM
mon and preferred Norfolk & South
ern, Texas & Pacific, Missouri Pa
cific common and preferred, Pitts
kurg & West Virginia and New
Haven. Final prices in these varied
issues showed net gains of from l to
6x points.
Declaration Of full dividends for the
year on Nickel Plate second pre-
ferred evoked favorable criticism in
dicating that the road had already
earned sufficient returns to warrant
such action. Utilities rose on the
strength of Consolidated Gas, Brook
lyn Union Gas and Peoples Gas and
miscellaneous shares averaged better
quotations under lead of chemicals
ana New York Dock common and
preferred.
Better business conditions were re-
fIected in the schedules posted for
structural steel, textiles. refined cop
per, and raw and refined sugars,
coupled with further gains in earn
ings reported by mail order and
chain store companies.
The opening rate Of 4 per cent for
call loans soon gave way to 3la per
cent, most of the days money being
placed at the lower quotations. Time
funds remained firm, however, offer
ings again being confined largely to
short dates.
In foreign exchanges the British
established q new high record at
4.51 for demand bills, though easing
a large fraction before the market
closed. Allied bills again showed lit
tie alteration and German marks
were reactionary, but neutrais
showed decided Improvement.
