LEGION HEAD
DENIES BONUS
WILL DO HARM
Declares That it Would Not
Bring Depression But
Would Help U. s.

indianapolis. Feb. 14--John II.
Quinn, national commander OF the
American Legion. took issue with
certain statements about adjusted
compensation made yesterday by
President Coolidge in his New
York speech before the national
Republican club.
In telegram to the president,
Commander Quinn denied that the
passage OF an adjusted compensa-
ton bill would financially wreck
the country or bring about ADJUST
ness depression.
Commander Quinn also declared
that the figures as to the cost OF
adjusted compensation used by the
president in his address are more
than double the cost estimate sub
mitted by treasury actuaries to the
senate finance committee on the
same bill some time ago.
Makes Denial
Referring to the statement by
President Coolidge that the vel
fare Of the whole country may, be
jeopardized if a bonus is paid, the
telegram said:
"The man who came to the res
| c,le of his country in time of dan
ger, resents the insinuation tha
| ne would endanger his country i,
time of peace. Our support of ad
iusted compensation is predicate'
upon justice. upon patriotic prece
dent and upon public desire as re
peatedly reflected by votes OF con
gress. We are convinced that tn
payment of this just obligation
would be minor item in the ma
tons budget and not the tremend
Gus ~item created by recent treas
ury estimates, which more thai
t'Ouble those originally presente'
to the senate finance committe
for the same bill

Ruhr Still
Shows Confusion

Mayence, Feb. 14.-Progress toward
normal functioning of the railway
system of the occupied Ruhr terri.
tory is indicated by official statis-
tics, but is barely visible to the
naked eye of the passengers who
must travel over the tributary lines.
The official figures show that the
freight-carrying efficiency of the
roads has now increased to about
80 percent of normal, and the through
passenger trains on the main lines
run with fair regularity; but travel
ing. over branch lines is still consid-
erably matter of luck, mostly bad.
owing to the unfamiliarity of the
newly employed personnel and the
constant changing Of schedules.

HUGHES ASKS
JAP EXCLUSION
BILL CHANGED
Proposed Bill Is Declared Too
Drastic by Secretary
of State

Washington, Feb l4.-Sections of
the immigration restriction measure
pending in the house, would operate
to exclude japanese from the country
and such exclusion would be "incon-
sistcnt" with treaty obligations with
Japan. Secretary Hughes contends in
a letter to Chairman Johnson of the
house immigration committee, MADE
public yesterday at the state depart
ment.
81 am unable to perceive that the
exclusion provision is necessary and
Imust strongly urge upon you the
advisability in the interests of bu,
international relations Of eliminating
it," Secretary Hughes said.
"The Japanese government, has al
ready brought the matter to the at
tension of the department of state
and there is the deepest interest il
the attitude of congress with respect
TO this subject, the letter added.
Gives jap Stand.
Secretary Hughes called attention
to the existing understan ding be
tween the two governments undel
which Japan undertakes to preven
immigration of laborers to the Unite,
States. adding that the Japanes
government in this connection 'noy
regulates immigration to territor.
continguous to the United State
with the object of preventing the de
parture from Japan of persons VIII
are likely to obtain surreptitious en-
| try into this country
If the provision making certificate
necessary for immigrants coming t
the United States were made ap
! plicabie to Japan, Secretary Hughc
said, it would he possible to obtai
active cooperation Of the Japancs
| government and an arrangcmen
could be perfected ''involving
double control over, the Japanes
quota of less than $50 Il year." whc
could enter the country.
Such an arrangement, the secrctar
said, would accomplish "a more ei
fective regulation of unassimable an
undesirable classes of Japanese in
migrants than would be possbl
than by attempting to establish g
general bar against Japanese sui
jects without cooperation of II
japanese government"

Serbs Threaten
Cyril Sokolski

Belgrade, Feb. 14.-Cyril Sokolskii,
to his Bulgarian passport,
spruce, young and fur-coated, passed
through Belgrade in December on the
Simplon express, bound for Sofia.
The local police looked him over, as
they do all travellers, and let him
60 on. Now they learn he is a
"Coburger," son of former King
Ferdinand of Bulgaria, heir to the
Throne so long as his brother, King
Boris, remains unmarried, and that
under no circumstances should he
have been allowed to travel through
Servia.
SO Cyril is now where he should
be, on Bulgarian soil, and it is not
believed that he has any intention o1
going back to Coburg, where dwell:
his father. ''If he does," say the
Servian police menacingly, "he hat
better not try to pass through Bel
grade"

thus far advanced were groundless
The Legion, however. he declared
asked the adjusted compensation no
as bonus but as pay TOR servic
rendered, and small pay at that.
Mr.. Stern also talked briefly o
the rehabilitation work. He con

STOPS WORK
ON TUT TOMB
Disagreement Over Publica-
tion Rights, Said Cause

Luxor, Egypt. Feb. IA, The crisis
which broke with dramatic sudden
ness between Howard Carter and the
Egyptian government and resulted
in the closing Of Tut-AnkhAmen's
tomb undoubtedly had its origin in
n contract signed by the late Lord
Carnarvon securing the sole rights OF
descriptive articles and pictures OF
the discoveries in the tomb to Lon
don newspaper.
The Egyptian government, which
maintains that it's rights over the
tombs are incontestable, has been
seriously embarrassed by requests
from American and British cores
pondents at Luxor for facilities in
describing the discoveries, facilities
which the cavators have declined
to grant, relying upon the so-called
copyright clause in excavators' Ii
censes granted by the department
Of antiquities in behalf of the

MUST USE CARE
SHIPPING EGGS
Federal Food Inspectors Detail
ed to Watch Such Shipment
During Summer

ATLANTA May 13.-Eggs ship
ped in interstate commerce should
be carefully handled by shippers III
order to eliminate those that are
bad or that may spoil en- route, ac-
cording to officials of the bureau Of
chemistry, United Stated depart
ment Of agriculture, who are charg
ed with the enforcement of the
federal food and drugs act.
Shipments containing eggs which
have yolks stuck to the shell, moldy
eggs, black spots, mixed rots, added
eggs, and any other eggs that are
filthy decomposed or putrid are in
violation of the law, it was pointed
out.
Federal food inspectors, it is
stated, have been instructed to give
particular attention to shipments of
eggs during the warm months of
spring and summer to see that the
channels of interstate commerce are
kept free from eggs that do not
comply with the law.
Shipments of eggs that are in
violation OF the law may be seized
land the individuals responsible for
the shipment prosecuted under fed
eral food and drug act, officials
said. Some states have specific
laws requiring the handling of all
eggs placed on sale.
Care Gambling before shipmest
will enable dealers to eliminate bad
eggs, it was pointed out. The el,mi,
nation of the spoiled eggs before
ihipment not only removes the haz.
ard Of violating the food laws, but
it is economical in that it saves ship
ping charges on eggs likely to be
rejected at place of receipt.
