WISCONSIN GIRLS
WALK THRU STATE
THEIR HIPS; GLORY IN
JAIL RECORDS
On Walking Tour Through Western
States, They Earn Their Way; Ar
rested by Several Ultra Conserva-
tive Policemen, but Released on
Production of Credentials.

Travelling in old western style,
with six-shooters at their hips, two
Kenosha, Wis, girls, who are max
ing hiking tour through the west
ern states and earning their way as
they go, arrived in Billings recently.
The girls have already traversed IL
states in their long journey, and
! their experiences have been many
and varied. They rejoice in their rec
ord of having been three times lodg-
ed in Jail by conservative "cops" who
disapproved of their exemplification
of the wild and woody legends of the
past.
Agnes Bolt and Hazel Jensen, II
and Is years old, are the two girls
who last February left their homes at
"a Park Row, Kenosha, and struck
the trail for the west. Their route
has taken them through Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana
They have held to the Yellowstone
Trail since leaving Seattle and ex-
pect to travel upon it until they
reach home. They are now looking
forward to a new tour which will
take them to Alaska
I'VE were first arrested at Santa
Fe and then at Albuquerque. The
police thought we had run away from
home and they weren't satisfied with
our credentials from the mayor of
Kenosha, but got in touch with our
parents to find out if they wanted
us returned. At Los Angeles, they
objected to us carrying the guns-it |
was carrying concealed weapons al |
though we wore them in holsters. |
The next morning, though, they |
threw bunch of flowers through the
bars to us and then let us out. 1t |
was the finest jail we were in on the
whole trip"
The girls were asked if they didn't |
want to visit the city bastile at Bill
lings but declined with thanks. They |
stated that they had secured a job |
with a farmer several miles west of
Billings and would work there few
days before resuming their trip.
eve came in here broke,' the
spokesman related. "But that's our
plan. We always aim to spend all
that we have made before we start
for the next town. When we need
a meal, we arrange to work for it.
Our jobs have been of all kinds, but
we usually try working on a farm.
We have big bunch of clippings
about our trip-some of them real
funny. The idea of our carrying
guns seems to strike the people in
the west as especially amusing"

BONUS DELAYED
TOPROVIDE WAY
FOR NAVAL BILL
Little Chance of Senat,
Taking Up Measure
This Week.

Chances that the McCumber SOL
der bonus bill would be taken up
in the Senate this week went
glimmering last night.
With unexpected opposition de-
veloping to the naval appropriation
bill. scheduled to be brought ur
Tuesday. bonus advocates fear any
attempt to bring up their measure
this week would be detrimental
to the passage of the naval bill
After a hasty conference between
Republican leaders yesterday II
was understood a tacit agreement
had been reached to postpone
action on the bonus until the navy
appropriation measure is disposed
of.
Meanwhile. bonus supporters
gathered strength. An unofficial
count, it was said. revealed only
twenty-five votes against the
bonus. with a possibility the num-
Der would be cut down consider
ably. The opposition is about
evenly divided between Republi-
cans and Democrats.
While opponents of adjusted
pensation admit inability to stop
passage in the Senate, it is believed
they will make strong advances to
President Harding to veto the meas
ure, assuring him they have suffi-
cient strength to defeat a motion to
override the veto. They claim at
least thirty-six votes against any
attempt to pass the bonus over the
Presidents veto.

PARIS, June lO.-The Morgan

the hope Of putting the German
reparations problem upon a more
practical basis and then convert
ing the revised reparations into
immediate loans. has definitely
failed for the present
Mr.. Morgan left for London this
afternoon en- route to America. A
long report TO the reparations COM
mittee by the bankers explains why
a great international loan to Ger
many is impossible now. The SAL
lent points follow.

a favorable atmosphere is essen
tial to a successful floation OF the
loan. 1t is known that the infer
ences in view among the members
of the commission as to the limit
of the committees mandate have fol
the time being created an atmos-
phere unfavorable to such an issue.
In a personal statement Mr.. Nor
gan said he considered that the two
essentials to the loan were that the
loan should be at the request and
for the benefit of the allied nations
and that through the technical Sc
curity 10 be given by Germany and
the rehabilitation of its internzl
financial situation Germany should
show clearly its desire to meet its
obligations, in the hope that by the

Mr. Morgan said the two funda

he was forced to the reluctant con-
clusion that neither condition could
