He said he would be accompanied to the White House by such other members of the House handling the bonus legislation as the President might wish to consult

Mondell, but it was reported that he would seek to obtain the Presidents views on the compromise bill with it's bank loan provision In lieu of a cash bonus, as well as his opinion as to whether the measure should be called up Monday under a suspension of the rules, as most House leaders desire.
 MT. Mondelis announcement foi- lowed a conference between Speaker Gillett and 27 republican House lead CTS arranged primarily to discuss the question of procedure in considering the bill. Mir. Gillett announced after wards that he would not make up his mind before Monday morning as to whether he would entertain a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill. Such a motion would block all amendments and also prevent a motion to recommit the bill with sn- structions to the ways and means committee.
 Executive Discussion
 The conference in the speakers of flee lasted for more than an hour and was behind closed doors. Mr. Mondell was delegated as official spokesman and made this statement:
 we discussed the question of the bonus in all it's phases, fully, freely. good dnaturedly, but did not reach any definite conclusion or make any definite arrangement!
 Chairman Fordney, of the ways and means committee, said he had noth- ing to add to that statement.
 'l want to call up the bill just as soon as possible" he said. It's go ing to be passed quickly. l don't think We will change the crossing of t or the dotting of an f. We have a good bill"
 Representative Lineberger, of Cal ifornia, former service man, who holds a petition bearing a sufficient number of signatures of House ma jority members to insure the calling of a party conference for next Tues day evening, had conference with the speaker. He also had a long talk with MT. Mondell, but declined to say what had transpired.
 MT. Lineberger is withholding thu presentation of his petition to Chair. man T0Wner of the House repunf1czn n organization, explaining that be hoped it would be possible to achieve without a conference the things that he and other signers of the petition expected to accomplish through a party meeting. When he circulated the petition he said it was the pur- pose to have the whole bonus ques- tion| threshed out by the republican mem bership.

 Lies Dead at 84
By Associated Press

Kansas City, Mo. March 1s.-Stub- bins Watts. the Adding miller Of Dallas, is dead. Stubbins Watts was s4 and the mill on Indian creek, IF miles south of here. where. man and boy, he had ground corn for 10 years, was even older. It was built by his father, Anthony Watts, in Is3o and Indians and pioneers carrying iong rifles and wearing coonskin caps were it's first customers.
 Latterly, motor cars used to stop at the old water mill, for the fame of the pioneers corn meal had reached the newest generation
 In early days the miller was fa- nous as a fiddler and no dance was possible in the neighbrohood without him.
 They had real dances in those days" StWbins Watts used to say. Folks came from 20, 30. 50 miles away and we always danced all night. and at Christmas and times like that the dance went on all next day.
 We played good tunes, too, Tn those days. Leather Britches, and Turkey in the Straw and Give the Poor Fiddler Dram were the names of some of 'em. They'd make your feet jingle.
 T heard one of these foreign fel- lows in concert Guess he was a fine musician, but it didn't sound like fiddlin to me. Sounded like an old hog stuck under a gate"
 Except for four years when he was away in the Confederate army, Stub bins Watts had spent his life in the old Watts homestead and mill beside Indian creek
 son. Edgar Watts, will continue to run the mill.
 The pioneer was relative of Dan- iel Boone
