CHICAGO MEN
OPPOSE SINGLE
ELECTION DAY

Springfield, H., June 13.-CBy the
Associated Press)-Protest against
the effect of a single election day
each year was received by each OF
/ the constitutional convention dele
gates here this morning, when they
returned to Springfield to enter
upon what President Woodward
hopes will be their concluding ses-
sion. The protest against the one
election day in November, already
decided, came from Chicago. with a
request that the elections section
be reOpened for amendment.
One election day year, it Is
pointed out by opponents of the
constitutional measure, will throw
the election of about forty circuit
judges in Chicago upon the same
day as the big municipal election,
which they say. is too much" As
most down-state delegates are for
the one-elecCion measure, and
amendment would require unan-
imous consent, consideration of the
request seemed very doubtful.
Quorum Not Present.
When time for the convention ar
rived this morning only small por-
ton OF the membership was present.

Woodward announced that he had
received several kilograms from
members promising their attend
ance tomorrow.

The convention must decide
whether one, two or three consti-
tional amendments may be submit
ted to vote of the people at the
same time, instead of one, as pro-
vided for in the present constitu-
ton.

tiCipated, will also revive the Chi

Schedule Committee Out.
Sections proposing future con-
stitutional conventions would make

Assumption, ILL.,, widow in their in
vestigation of circumstances sur
rounding her death at Hot Springs,

fortune.
Asserting belief that Mrs. Ridg-
ley did not die a natural death and
that the fortune she is believed to
have possessed has disappeared, at
torneys for the relatives indicated
they would ask for an official in
vestigation.
Names of several Chicagoans
have been brought into the inves-
t'gatlon, which extended to Florida,
Texas, Arkansas and other points
in the south where Mrs. Ridgley
travelled before her death.
Banker Starts Probe.
The investigation was started by
E. W. Hight, vice president of an
Assumption bank, in behalf of the
dead woman's sisters, soon after
the funeral at the little central Illi-
nois town where the body was TAX
en- by Mrs. Alice Horn. a compan-
ion who was with Mrs. Ridgley
when she died at Hot Springs.
Mrs. Horn said Mrs. Ridgley died
practically penniless. She said
Mrs. Ridgley had become estranged
from her relatives and although
she expressed a desire to be buried
at Assumption, she did not want
the coffin opened or permit rela-
tives to see her body. A few pieces
of jewelry and other mementoes of
small value, Miss Horn said, were
left in her care to dispose Of
DR.. J. L. Greene of Hot Springs,
who attended Mrs. Ridgley, assert
ed, according to dispatches last
night, that there was no mystery

death of Mrs. Ora Belle Ridgley.
whose body was brought here from
Hot Springs Ark. June s, today
awaited results of a move for the
appointment of an administrator
for Mrs. Ridgley's estate.
Statements sent out yesterday to
the effect that private investigation
had developed evidence that Mrs.
Ridgley had not died of natural
causes and that much money and
property had disappeared, were un-
substantiated. No official charges
have yet been brougt in the case,
nor has any official action been
taken
Dispatches from Hot Springs
quoted DR.. ]. L. Greene. who at
tended Mrs. Ridgley. as stating
there was nothing unusual in her
death, which was due to neuritiS
atrophy, according to the death
certificate, signed by DR.. Greene.
Mrs. Horn Surprised.
Advices from Chicago were that
Mrs. Alice Horn, friend and com
panion, who was with Mrs. Ridg-
ley in her last illness, expressed
surprise that any inquiry was
sought She said she believed Mrs.
Ridgley had little property when
she died, and that her death re-
suited from atrophy of the brain
due to neuritis. Just before her
death, Mrs. Horn said. Mrs. Ridg-
ley destroyed a will, in which she
named one of her sisters, because
the latter had not answered her
letters. She said Mrs. Ridgley had
been estranged from her family for
several years.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Washington, d. c., June 13.-The
bonus and the tariff arc getting
intertwined 10 make way tor the
one the progress OF the other may
be dangerously retarded. Yet the
bonus will win Quit will be pass
ed by the senate during the pres
ent session Of congress whether or
not consideration OF the tariff is
concluded.
A thought of jamming the bonus
IN few days is being abandoned.
Senator's who oppose the measure
do not wish to nIibuSter or other
wise delay its passage but they do
want an opportunity TO tell their
constituents why they are against
the proposal. Usually it takes a
member of congress more time to
explain why he is fighting some
thing than why he favors it. Es-
pecially is this true with a measure
such as the bonus which interests
so many thousands of ex-serviCe
men. The senator who is planning
to vote against the bonus wants to
explain comprehensively all his
reasons for so voting. There are
at least so senator's who will vote
against the bonus. Nearly every
one will make a speech. The ad
dresses will vary in length. Many
Of the arguments will have TO be
answered by those sponsoring the
bill Those who favor it will also
want to show their constituents
how actively they championed if.
All this takes time. This means
that if the tariff gives way on the
calendar to the bonus the latter
may take three or four weeks to
pass through the senate.
Harding May Speak.
Should the tariff be sidetracked
for three or four weeks it will be
difficult TO get back the momentum
already achieved through night
sessions in the last month. Rela
lively little progress has been made
thus far. The interjection of the
bonus bill will delay final action
on the tariff bill so that congress
will be in almost continuous ses-
sion.
As for the debate on the bonus,
there is talk of a presidential ad-
dress to the senate when the meas
ure reaches the floor of the senate.
Mr.. Harding waited last year until
the bill was in the senate and it
was finally reported back to the
committee after he made his plea
Mr.. Harding has let it be known
half dozen times lately that his
attitude toward the bonus has not
changed since he asked the house
10 drop the matter if the sales tax
couldn't be enacted. The house ig-
nored the presidents wishes and
'he senate has before it a bill sub
stantially the same as the one
adopted by the house. Close friends
