BONUS MEASURE PROVISIONS ARE MISUNDERSTOOD

Members View First Definite Expression on Stand Taken
 by Currency Comptroller
NO CHANCE E IN PLAN
Rumored Harding Opposes, But Gives No Indication
 That He Will Veto Bill

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Provis- ions of the compromise soldier bonus bill relating to bank loans to former service men have been either misun- derstood or misrepresented in some quarters" Representative Green, Iowa, ranking Republican member of the ways and means committee, who helped revise the measure, declared today
 While the Iowa member made no direct comment on the announced in- tention of Comptroller of the Cur rency Crissinger to advise banks not to accept adjusted compensation cer- tificates as security for loans, it was generally regarded that the state ments was 8 reply to the opinion of the bills provisions expressed by Cris- singer.
 Greens views were the first def mite expression from Republicans of the ways and means committee as to the stand taken by the currency comp troller.
 Coincident with Greens declaration. Renuhlican leaders in the house de- tlared that despite rumors reaching the capitol that President Harding was opposed to the present draft of the bonus bill, there had been no change In plans which call for re- port of the measure on Monday by the ways and means committee. and pas sage of the bill by the house a week later.
 Represent tative Mondell. ReDublican leader, Chairman Fordney. and other members cf the ways ard means com uiittee. saiS that to their knowledge the president had eivan 1o indication to any member of congress that be would veto the bill if it were passed without a sales tax provision. Two members of the committee, Represen- tatives Longworth of Ohio, and Bach arach of New Jersey, who have advo- cated a sales tax to raise the neces- sary revenue. were not in Washing ton today and it could not be learned whether they had been able to ascer- tain the presidents views.
 Chairman Fordney said the. bill probably would be amended by the committee before favorable report is ordered, to do away with the require- ment that a war veteran must decide within six months which of the op- tions provided in the bill he would accept.
 The chairman said, however, that if former service man accepted in- suranee, it was to date retroactively from October 1, 1922.
 Representative Green. in his state ment, said:
 When the ways and means com mittee struck out the cash provisions of the former bin. to which so much objection has been made, it was thought advisable to make some pro- visions for soldiers who were or should become in need and for tis purpose te bank loan provision was inserted.
 Tt seems to be assumed by some that all of these loans would run to October l, 1925, but that date was

KAHN D|SAGREES WITH. NORRIS IN MUSCLE SHOALS!
See Possibilities For Fight Between House and Senate
 Over Shoals Disposition

WASHINGTON. March Ibis agreement between the house and sen ate over disposition of the govern ment's war built properties at Muscle Shoals, Ala, was seen as probability tonight in some congressional quar ters.
 Chairman Kahn of the house mili tary affairs committee, which has jur isdiction for the house over the dispo sition of Alabama properties, took sharp issue with the proposal of Chair man Norris of the senate agriculture committee, which is studying the Muscle Shoals question for the senate for creation of a government owned and controlled corporation. to take over the projects.
 T for one," Kahn said, "am strong ly against government operation of any project that can be run by priv ate enterprise. If the Norris scheme is sent to the house, shall certainly oppose it." -'..
 Kahn said house members had seen many time the fallacy of govern. mental operation" and reiterated his belief that the creation of a govern ment commission comprised of repre- sentatives of the treasury. agriculture and war departments empowered to lease or sell the Muscle Shoals prop critics, was the logical solution of the problem of getting them in quick pro- cess of development by private cap ital and without additional cost to the federal government.
 The military committee. Kahn said. would call Secretary Mellon and At torney General Daugherty to testify next week.

EDDY MAY REDUCE. NAVY PERSONNEL. l. I ] 65,000 ME N
Subcommittee Frames Navy Bill; Plans to Reduce
 Enlisted Number

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1.-The house subcommittee on appropria- tions, now framing the navy bill for the next year, is planning to reduce the enlisted personnel to 65,O00 men, wheras Secretary Denby has declared 90,000 enlisted men and the present officer total would be required to keep "the treaty navy on it's toes.
 Representative Fess, Republican of Ohio, told the house today he had been informed by Chairman Kelley of the naval appropriations sub-com- mittee that from S160,000,000 to IT, 100000 would be Topped from Denby's estimate of $350. 100000, and that the army bill to be reported Monday would show a reduction of S5,000,000 below the war department estimate.
 Fess said that eight appropriation measures already reported showed a total cut of s65,000,000.
 The report that the committee ex- pected to cut as deeply into the navy bill as indicated by the figures given by Fess caused some surprise among members in view of President Hard- ing's statement to the naval commit tee at White House conference that the enlisted total should not be lower than S0,000. With only 65,000 en- lis.ed men, there would necessarily be sharp reduction in officers.
 The committee, it was said. will au- thorize appropriations to provide com missions for only 135 of the 541 mem- bers of the first class at Annapolis. to be graduated in June.
 A separate bill carrying approximat- ely $75.000.000 will be reported to pay the cost of scrapping ships under con- struction as designated by the arms conference. Estimates this cost have run as high as s150.000.00 and a separate bill will be passed afte~ ratification of the treaties SO as not to charge the expenses against navy operation next year.

Slain Showman IS Said to De Friend Of .BiH' Taylor
Authorities Are Still Without Clue to the Murderer of
 Circus Show Man

 Mrs. Brunch asserted today that she had an idea who was responsible she for her husbands death, and had told the police.

Hughes Asserts in Letter He Was Author of Original
 Draft of Treaty

WASHINGTON, Mar. 11-The .our power Pacific treaty. its purposes and possibilities, and the manner of it's neeotiation, passed through another spectacular combat of argument and oratory today on the floor of the sen ate.
 Throughout the battle of wits. the burden of defense was carried by Senator Underwood of Alabama. the Democratic floor leader and a mem Der of the American delegation to the arms conference. Rineed bv enemies of the treaty, largely Of his own par tv, the minority leader stood for three hours in his place in the center of the chamber and repliedin kind to the thrusts directed at him.
 Among the weapons of argument used by the Alabama senator was a letter written to him by Secretary Hughes. head of the American confer ence plenipotentisries, replying to charees that the treaty resulted from a British-Japanese plan to allay the endorsements of the Anglo-Jaoan- che alliance. Hughes asserted that he himself had prepared a draft of the treaty after consultation with the other delegates and that, with minor changes, it. became the final text as signed and submitted to the senate for ratification.
 The state department secretary furtber declared there was not the sliehtest mystery about the treaty or basis of suspicion about it."

Chairman Lasker has apparently assigned to you gentlemen the task of lining up Democrats on the committees. How ever, you may tell Chairman Lasker that we are not as easily ensnared as some people he has come in contact with, and that we respectfully refuse to be bound and gagged while. he and the rest of you advocates of this iniquitous ship subsidy bill industri- ously disseminate your propaganda and Hull the people and congress to sleep while you complete the job"
 Davis and Hardy continued there Is less excuse for ship subsidies now than ever before by reason of the fact that our immense government owned fleet can be purchased by pri- vate operators at considerably less than world market prices"
 Yet. the bill you now propose" they said. would take more than $50,000.000 a year out of the pockets of taxpayers and put 1t in the pockets of a few private ship lines, after amending the present law so that the government ships may be sold to them at ridiculously low prices"

The. agreement disre- gards the American claim of priority for it's expenses in connection with occupation of the Rhineland so far as the actual sharing of this money is becerned, but recognizes the claim by a special clause, which states that all the agreements on this question are subject to the American rights as the various governments may establish them, the finance ministers consider ing that they do not have power to decide this question

CHICAGO. March 11-Transmuta- ton of metals, sought throughout the ages. has finally been accomplished. 1t was announced in a paper read to- day at meeting of the middle west ern sections of the American Chem ical Society at Northwestern Univer- sity.
 Tungsten, which is used in the fila ments Of electric light bulbs. has been definitely and permanently changeu into another elmnt, helium. through treatment in temperatures of between 50.000 and 60,000 degrees, it was de clared in a report on experiments con ducted by pr.

MINE OPERATORS. REFUSE REQUEST
 T0 MEET UNIONS
South Ohio Operators Turn Down Davis Overtures to
 Meet in Conference
DEMANDS REJECTED
Workers Declare Unless New Wage Scale Formed Will
 Suspend Work on First

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March H. Southern Ohio coal operators today declined the request of Secretary of Labor Davis to meet with miners in joint conference to arrange a wage scale for the central competitive field.
 'The operators of southern Ohio cannot participate in such a confer ence," reply to Secretary Davis let ter requesting the meeting, said, but they will meet with the representa- tives of the mine workers of this dis trict at any time to discuss a wage scale and working conditions that are fair to the miners and operators of southern Ohio," with the understand ing that such a conference would not discuss the check-off.
 The letter declares that the pres ent demands of the miners have been rejected by every interstate. confer ence in the last three years. and that the United Mine Workers of America "bace violated every agreement made by them since 1916"
 The threatened suspension of bitu- minous coal mining resulted from ac- tion by the southern Ohio operators in first refusing to join in a central states wage conference that was to have been held at Pittsburg in Jan. uary, and in later conference, sched- v'ed for Cleveland early this month. Other districts followed the action of the southern Ohio operators and the conferences, which were asked for by President John l.. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, were called off
 Following their failures to obtain noint wage conference, the United Mine Workers announced that unless = new central competitive field wage scale was formulated by April l, the miners would suspend work at that time.
 Such suspension would completely tie up the bituminous coal mines of Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois, the largest soft coal pro- ducing districts ln tine country. Ap. proximately 215000 miners would be affected. A vote now being taken by the United Mine Workers in these districts is reported to be almost 10 to in favor of suspension of work April l, if new agreement is not reached by that time
 Walter O. Mckinney, secretary of the Southern Ohio Coal Exchange. in his letter to Secretary Davis today. said that the economic and competi. tive conditions in southern Ohio are in no way identical with the other districts" with which the southern ohio operators are asked to partfcf. pate, and neither the miners nor operators of southern Ohio could ius. tlfy any agreement that may be ar rived at in such a joint interstate. meeting"
