supplied an automobile for the SNUG

United Press Staff Correspondent
Bv CARL ID. GROAT

WASHINGTON, March delay
for two years in the. cash payments of
a soldier bonus wass-yirtually decided
upon today by epublican members of
the House ways and means committee.
The committee mindful that Victory
bonds must be refunded in 1928, real
lied that in the next two years any
measure to raise Il bonus fund-out
side q sales taX--would have n bad eff
feet on the treasury The sales tax,
members held, could not be put over
because of the opposition to it.
The committee then decided to try
for bonus bill but delay the drain on
the treasury.
The bill would be so arranged, how
ever, that the loans would not come di-
rect from the treasury.
Whether the subcommittee will ac-
tually find the idea feasible is still
questionable.
Committee Favors Measure
House ways and means committee
Republicans in advance of their day s
session were in favor of bringing out
Il bonus measure, not postpOning it.
But, in the bewilderment which has
marked the committees s course, there
was no assurance that this opinion
| would exist throughout the day.
Two things, however, stood out in
relief about the situation.
First, the committee is striving again
for revenue raising scheme with nc
| assurance however, that such will be
framed. III this connection, an excess
| profits tax is again being considered
| among representatives, who are in
clined to pay more heed to the fact
! that President Harding has frOwned on
sole reliance on British bonds as u
bonus payment source.
Second the committee men are dis
posed to get action now, especially as

much more of the present dilatory at

Los ANGELES, March l.-An nm
confirmed report that one of two
men named by Mrs. John Rupp as the
slavers of William Desmond Taylor
had confessed, spread like wildfire at

Activities among detectives who

new development had occurred.
The suspects had been undergoing

was reported.
Valuable Information Given
1t was known that valuable informa-
ton touching the murder had been
obtained from one of the suspects.
Detective Sergeant Herman Cline,
head Of the homicide squad, was work
ing on an angle of the case which, it
was believed, will connect the state
ments obtained from the prisoner with
some of the previous clues i'll the mur-
der mystery. f4se
These clues, which, without cerrobor-
alton, led only to blank walls, had
been abandoned as hopeless by the
baffled investigators working on the
case.
Pursuing this new angle of the in
vestigation, Cline was in secret con
ference with Mabel Normand, film
, comedy star, who was the last friend
to see Taylor alive.
Mabel Normand Quizzed
Miss Normand, sufficiently recovered
from an attack of influenza tomake the
"trip, came to Los Angeles from her
rest cure home in Altadena and met
Detective Sergeants Cline and Murphy.
Georges Romier, teacher of French,
