FAILURE Of PAY
BILL HELD AS
CERTAIN
Senate Prepares to Rush
Through $24o Bonus as
Stop Gap.

The prospect of Reconsideration
in the Senate seemed to recede fur.
Their than ever today.
There remains a chance that the
Sterling-Lehlbach bill will be enact
ed by the Senate. but parliamentary
experts hold there is no chance of
the Senate and House agreeing to
the compromise bill written by SEN
ators Smoot and Sterling and that
the legislation will fail with the
expiration of the session.
Preparations have been made in
the Senate to rush through the
$24O bonus as the stop gap. Sen
ator Warren has offered the bonus
as an amendment to the deficiency
bill and it will be accepted by the
Senate as soon as the failure of re-
classification legislation becomes
apparent.
Senator Sterling today said that
he has not abandoned all hope of
having his bill passed. Other sup
porters of Reconsideration, however,
are already looking forward to the
new Congress next December, and
believe they will be able to obtain
a bill much more to their liking
at that time. Both House and Sen
ate then are confidently expected
to support legislation along the
line of the original bill that result
ed from the labors of the joint COM
mission on Redistribution of 1919.

President Harding complied to-
day with the Senate's request for
more information concerning the
Administrators plans for enter
ing the permanent court Of inter-
national justice at the Hague, set
up under the League of Nations.
The President informed the
Senate that the United States has
no intention of entering the court
on basis of compulsory arbi-
tration" of all international dis
putes, that he contemplates no
negotiations with other powers in
this regard, and that American
adherence will not obligate the
United States under the treaty OF
Versailles.
Letter to Senator Lodge.

letter to Senator Lodge Repl OF.
Massachusetts,, transmitting O.
lengthy communication which Sec.
rotary of State Hughes had adj
dressed to the President himself.
Mr.. Harding merely transmitted
the Hughes letter, in which the
Secretary of State took up in detail
the questions propounded by

session Tuesday.
The PresTaent said:
ION Wednesday you sent to me
a request of the foreign relations
committee for information relative
to the proposal that we adhere to
the protocol establishing an inter
national court of Justice at The
Hague. I Immediately submitted
inquiries of your committee to the
secretary of State for detailed re-
ply. I am pleased to transmit to
you herewith a letter from the sec
rotary of State covering the various
questions raised in the committees

The Senate's first query asked
whether 'he, (the PresidenO favers
an agreement obligating all powers
who are signers of the protocol
creating the court to submit all
questions" to the court.
To this query Secretary Hughes
replied:
II understand the question is not
intended to elicit your purely per-
sonal opinion, or whether you would
look with an approving eye upon
an arrangement of sort made effec-
tive by action Of all the powers, but
whether you as President, in the;
exercise of your constitutional au-
thority to negotiate treaties. favor
the undertaking to negotiate
treaty on the part Of the Unfed
States with other powers creating
such obligatory jurisdiction.
Answered In Negative.
80 understood, I think the ques-
ton must be answered in the mega

Hughes then reviewed at great
length the history of efforts on the
part of previous Administrations,
going back to Cleveland's time, to
provide some sort OF compulsory
arbitration OF international disputes.
and pointed out that the Senate had
invariably rejected such Nattempts
to bind the United States.

FREDERICK, Nd, Mar a.
The Old Horsey Distillery Of Bur-
kettsville, Nd, ten miles north of
Frederick, was the scene of an
other raid this morning at 8 80
o'clock when bootleggers engaged
in pistol battle with the three
guards of the plant.
Fired on by Guards.
This is the third raid on the dis
tillery since September, 1921. 1t
was the scene of the 100000 raid
barrels of whiskey were stolen, OF
which thirty-seven were later found
on a broken, down truck.
The anniversary" raid this morn
ing resulted in the loss of only
about $4,000 worth of fifteen-year-
old liquor.
The robbers, who came to the
plant in four cars, two of which
were Packards, were surprised at
their task and the three guards
opened fire. All of the robbers
escaped except one man, who re-
fuses to give his name.
Hours of questioning Of the cap
tured robber have been made by
the Frederick authorities, but the
robber has refused to make but
one statement.
"I'Il see you all in hell before I'll
saw a damned word" he calmly
told officers and has refused to say
anything additional.
Noise i'm BottIing House.
First intimation of the robbery
came at about $3.50, when a noise
was heard in the bottling ware.
house of the distillery.
The three guards crept on their
hands and knees to the building
and discovered six or seven men,
each carrying a case of liquor from
the warehouse to the four waiting
automobiles.
The guards Immediately opened
fire. One of the robbers had just
gone into the warehouse and was
cut off from the rest of his gang,
who fled after a volley Of shots
at the guard.
The robber in the building
emerged from the door with case
of liquor in his hand and was
confronted by the guards. He
dropped the liquor and threw ur
his hands, surrendering.
Took Washington Road.
The four automobiles sped from
the distillery grounds through Fred

notified attempted to stop them.
The cars, with lights out, passed
through Frederick at a sixty-nliIe
an hour pace, taking the road Il

Washington police were notified
but at noon today had found M

Utah Takes Long End of

piled him onto their shoulders and
carried him to the college dressing
rooms.
1t was a sadly battered and bruised
team OF Coyotes that was overwhelm-
ed at Salt Lake Saturday 1858 by the
Utah University team. Charles and
Fred Robinson didn't make the trip,
Walker was kicked out of the game
for alleged slugging in the first quart
er. Woods was hurt in the first 10
minutes and couldn't get back into
the fray, minor injuries put several
other players out of the running until
Coach Cornell had the lightest team
that ever represented the college on
the leld against a team that last year
won the championship OF the Rockcy
Mountain conference and that this
year promises to duplicate that distinc
ton.
Only in the first quarter when, pos
sessed OF its full opening lineup
strength and by virtue of three long
forward passes, did the Coyotes give
Utah a real battle To the credit OF
the local squad goes the distinction OF
being the first team this year to score
against Utah when Lowell booted a
place kick in that quarter. Lowell to
Springer was the passing combination
that placed the locals within scoring
distance. Utah fumbles, recovered by
Coyotes, paved the way for this score
and several other threats at the Utah
goal line.
Whether it was the irritant OF the
first score against them OF the season
or because Utah wanted to pile up a
larger score against the college than
did the University OF Idaho. Cornell
does not know, but Coach Fitzpatrick
of the Saints drove his team hard for
the century score. refused to permit
the use OF Walker when it was evil
dent the Coyotes were hopelessly
outclassed and otherwise disported
themselves to pile up tremendous
score.
For the locals, Springer was the
leading light. He handled the team
like a veteran, ran back punis to per
lection. received passes that dazzled
Utah rooiers and stopped play after
play. Hostetler and Miller the latter
playing Robinson's place at center
were into every play.
