tain presidential approval of the COM
promise soldiers bonus bill, but went
ahead with plans to put the measure
through the house. Speaker Gillett
refused to permit the measure to be
brought up today under suspension
Of the rules, however, and a special
rule will be necessary for its fconsid-
Grafton.
Leaders were to confer late today
as to procedure and the time that
house consideration of the bonus
would begin.
Representative Mondell of Wyom-
ing and four other house members
were closeted with the president at
the White House this morning for
nearly two hours.
Mondell Makes Statement.
On leaving the executives office,
Mr.. Mondell issues this in writing:
1.-The legislative situation relating
to the bonus bill was fully presented
to the president with detailed expla-
nation of the provisions which remove
the menace of excessive drafts on the
treasury in the immediate future and
avoid any program OF added taxation.
The president went over the entire
situation with an appraisal of COM.
t
mittee that the legislation is the re-
sponsibility of congress and in view Of
expressions previously made, he did
not think it essential to offer any
recommendation"
Gillett Confers With Harding.
Speaker Gillett also had an ap-
pointment with the president, but be-
cause of the length OF the conferences
between Mr.. Harding and the house
leaders, the speaker had to return to
the capitol to preside over the house
without seeing the executive. Upon
reaching the capitol the speaker met
with the house leaders and made
known to them his decision not to
for motion to suspend the rules and
| pass the bill.
While at the White House, Mondell
and other members Of the house COM
| mittee went over the whole bonus sit
uation with the president who was
understood to have given no express
sion of his views on the compromise
! measure.
| No Recommendations.
The president was quoted as having
said that he preferred not to make
| any recomm endation as to legislative
| procedure and responsibility of the
| legislation rested with congress. He
! also was said to have indicated de-
sire to study more closely the provi-
| sions Of the bill before determining in
4, his own mind whether he could ap-
| prove all Of its features.
Administration officers who have
| discussed the bonus with the presi-
dent are under the impression that the
executive had not changed his mind
with regard to the legislation. These
Officers We're of the opinion that the
measure would not be passed by the
senate. that the measure either would
be held up there or so changed that
the cash would be available to veter-
ans desiring it and the cost financed
either by taxes or the sale of bonds.

It's good bet that if Lew Tend
Ter, crack Philadelphia southpa

champion, ever meet in the sque
ed circle again it will be d, welter-
weights.
conclusion.
First of all Tender has indicated
that he will cease to attempt to
remain in the lightweight division
bv signing to meet Dave Shade,
legitimate welterweight, at Mil
waukee for a battle in the near
future. Tender has had trouble
keeping himself down to eve the
new lightweight poundage Of 1876
pounds. He has felt, his friends
say, that even that weipho weakens
him. Hence his decision to step
into the heavier class.
The welterweight class now pre-
sents more opportuniti than the
lower class. There has be n a
dearth of good welters for many
moons.
Secondly, Leonard, if he fights
again, probably will fight a well
terweight He has not fought at
the recognized lightweight pound
age for years. When he fought
Tender months ago he weighed in
for the benefit of newspaper men
a week before the fight and made
the 1875 pound mark. But secrecy
surrounded his weighing in the
day of the battle and It is gener-
ally believed that he s-aled we'll
over the 1876 mark.
Leonard showed that he hal
for welterweight honors when he
took a match with the veteran Jack
Britton-the match which left a
bad taste in the pubic's mouth.
So, if Tender, who deserves an
other crack at Leonard by virtue
of his showing in their last bout,
ever gets another chance to tackle
Benny it looks as though it would
be in the welterweight division
possibly for the right to meet the
Rip Van Winkle of that division

conclusively disproves recent I'M
founded statements of propagandists
designed to deceive the public, but
which, in truth have steeled the
friends of enforcement to closer CO.
operation and more concerted activi-

Haynes, "that real liquor for beverage

perhaps the most encouraging re-
cent development is the manifestation
of genuine cooperation on the part OF
the police in large metropolitan cen

Cow Moose skiIfuI Boxer.

In the northern and western forest
regions of Canada the snow piles deep
ly throughout the winter. In these
forests roams the king Of the deer
family, the moose. To combat the high
piling drifts, the animals gather I'm
little bands Of from three to a dozen
head and trample down the snow over
certain limited areas. Thus, when the
snow lies all around them, from three
to eight feet deep, the moose have a
small stretch of country packed hard,
so they can get around easily to
browse of the surrounding trees.
From these yards" as they are
called, the moose are at times driven
by, wolves or by dogs and men. The
animal founders through the deep
snow till 1t is exhausted, and then
proves an easy prey to its pursuers
Though she has no horns, the COW
moose possesses dangerous weapons In
her two forefeet, which can strike for
ward with the skill of a boxer and
deliver most telling blows.
