Agree To Push
Bonus Bill To
Vote Tuesday

WASHINGTON, Aug. ga unanimous
agreement to take up the soldiers bonus
bill Monday and push it to a final vote
was entered into today by the senate.
With a view to getting vote late tues
day it was agreed that after s p. m. Mon
day no senator should speak moro than
once nor longer than 20 minutes on any
amendment. The unanimous consent
agreement was proposed by Senator Rob
inson, Democrat, Arkansas, but 1t I'M
posed no limitation on debate on the bill
itself. 1t was suggested however. that
there might be a move to that end later
should it prove necessary.
Senator Underwood, Democrat, A1aba-
ma. and Borah, Republican, Idaho. said
they would offer no objection to speedy
action. Senator Underwood gave formal
notice that his fight would be against
passage Of the measure over President
Harding's veto in the event that it was
returned to congress with executive dis
approval.
BY common understanding the senate
did not undertake today to bring to a
vote any of the several amendments thus
far offered Senator McNary, Repubn-
can Oregon, presented his amendment
proposing the reclamation bill as part OF
the bonus with preference given veter-
ans in reclamation work and financial as
ststance for them in developing home
steads on the reclaimed lands.

PRIDE OF FRENCH
NAVY GOES DOWN
Battleship France Sinks After
Striking Rock With Only
Two Casualties.

L'OPIENT, France, Aug. 26.-The bat
tleship France. $4,000 tons, one of the
prides of the French navy, struck a rock
off Quiberon bay in the darkness of early
morning today and went to the bottom in
75 feet of water:
All but three of the 900 officers and
men of the crew were rescued from
RATS and life boats launched from the
oattleship before she took the final
plunge.
The wrecked warship, which was one
of four French battleships of the first
line, was returning from night. manoeuv-
ers to her anchorage at Port Haliguen,
when at one o'clock this morning she ran
on a hidden rock lying % feet below the
surface. a great cash was torn in the
steel hull of the .dreadnaught. She re-
mained afloat an hour, giving the crew
enough time for hurried escape In boats.
Then the doomed craft slowly settled,
turned on her side and went down. She
lies on the bottom and is considered a to-
tai wreck.
Strong Currents Cause.
The wreck occurred in the tourtuous
waters of QUiberon bay about 20 miles
southeast Of here on the Brittany coast.
The swift currents abounding there are
supposed to have swept the warship
slightly from here course.
The DETECTION was sufficient. however,
to carry her squarely and head-on over
the pointed rock, known and chartered,
but dangerously concealed beneath the
water in this part of the bay.
The momentum drove the huge ship
forward on the rock. 1t was travelling II
knots. But this proved to be impossible,
as the warship was pinned solidly on the
rock which projected into her hold.
The water rushed into the hold flood
ing the boilers and short circuiting the
electricity. The vessel was in complete
darkness, but the night was bright and
clear and the surface of the sea was
smooth, which accounted for the small
loss Of life.

Location Finder Faces Murder
Charge For Telling Different
Stories About Killing Bergen

Another note found in Bergen's clothes

AS the prosecutor related 1t. Cline said
Mrs. Cline had been acting strangely
since their return from Saranac Lake,
but 1t was only yesterday morning that
she told him Bergen had assaulted her
there, after inducing her to drink.
''Cline and Mrs. Cline both telepnoned
to Bergen after she had told her story
yesterday" said the prosecutor, urging
him to come to Edgewater to clear up
the situation. When he arrived, Mrs.
Cline, in the presence of her two broth
ers, her husband and Bergen, repeated
the story. He attempted to justify his
act by alleging that all women are trait
ors, Cline said, and then the husband
told him he would have to fight it out"
Cline told newspaperInan that ne met
