 His statement follows:
 "In the early editions of the Exam = ner for Monday morning there ap- peared on the first page the report of an interview purporting to come from me which was never iu effect given.
 This interview never took place. and there is not word of it that I have ever authorized to be printed, nor did I have the slightest intima- tion. directly or indirectly, that it would be.
 '"The facts are that the duty of fr- reting out and apprehending the per petrator of this deed rests with the police department and am only counselHng with and advising them.
 There is grave and serious doubt at the present time as to whethe- the murderer will ever be apprehended and certainly I do not know whether he ever will be.

Congress Struggling With
 Soldiers Bonus Problem

Washington, Feb. 13-(By I. N. S.)-Congress struggled again today to determine upon a bonus tax scheme which will be agreeable at the same time to the administration and to the people who will have to put up the money.
 One of the most important devel- opments was the plan of the "agri cultural bloc" to propose the enact ment of the excess profit tax to help straighten out the tax muddle which is holding Up the bonus bill.
 Senators identified with the "bloc' declared that it was estimated that S6OOOOO.O0O or much more than enough to take care of the initial in stalments of the soldiers bonus. would be made available if the excess profits tax, repealed by the new re- serve law were re-established.
 Smoot Opposes Excess Tax.
 The proposal of the ''bloc" is certain to be bitterly opposed by senators nke Smoot of Utah, who believes that a sales tax is the pra actica1 way to pro- vide the enormous revenue necessary to finance the bonus.
 On the other hand, the Bloc IS set against a sales tax, as well as against what its members describe as the poor mans taxes incorporated in the bonus program of Republican members of the House Ways and Means Committee, to which Republi- cans of the Senate Finance Commit tee have refused to agree.
 The country, already overburden- ed by taxation, is certainly in no posi- tion to bear such additional heavy burdens as have been proposed" said Senator Shoot, today 'tI will never consent to their adoption. We should face the situation courageously and frankly and if Congress refuses to ac- cept a sales tax as a practical means of financing the bonus, then let us meet the bonus as we would any other government obligation py the issuance of short term government securities"
 In view of the administrations ex- pressed opposition to any other way of raising bonus revenue except through direct taxation, it is not expected that the special joint committee will throw the House tax program completely either the White House or the Treas ury department.

Gun Club Destroys Over 5000 Pre-
datoTy Birds and Animals in 3 Hunts

That the results of the contest IN
augurated by the Belt Valley Rod and
Gun club several weeks ago 70 rid
this section of predatory birds and
animals had far better results than
were anticipated by the members was
made apparent Monday when the re
suits Of the three hRee indulged IN by
the club members Kere totaled and it
was shown thAtsoyer s 900 eggs, birds
and animals Nd been gathered and
killed Tht result of the movement
are even g<&ater than this. for It IS
known thar many who have heretofore
paid little attention TO the destruction
of these birds and animals nave this
year destroyed many which did not
find their way into the count. And II
one can Judge by the talk among mem
bers of the club, the movement has
but started, for there is talk OF m
augurating another hunt shortly
and it is hoped and expected that If
this is done that the number of grown
birds and animals that viii be left to
bring forth more of their kind next
year will be so greatly diminished that
the effect will be very noticeable.
The final count showed that 1,a40
magpie eggs, l9 hawk eggs and 13
crow eggs had been gathered, 1927
% crows, AZ hawks, 127
groundhogs, 33 gophers, three weas-
els and 20 coyotes had been killed.
The team captained by ]. w. Leland
were winners Of the contest, Ben j.
Kennedy's team losing out by about
3 900 points, and they will provide
feed for all the club members ut 9
date yet to be set. The membership of
the club was increased five-fold, and
where at the beginning Of the contest
there were only 21 members at the
close there were 100 in good standing.
The funds received from the member
ships will be used in propagating
the game birds and fishr in this section
and in continuing the work begun in
