DOHENY HELPED PAY
 DEMOCRATIC DEBTS
Teapot Dome Committee Cues.
 tiOnS National Chairman

Washington. April With George White, former chairman of the demo- cratic national committee in the wit ness chair, the oil committee renewed it's wrangling today as to the rcle- Nancy of testimony relating to cam paign contributions.
 Senator Spencer, republican, Mis- souri, asked White if he knew what contributions had been made to the democratic fund in the 1920 campaign by E. l.. Doheny and Harry r. Sin clair.
 Announcing thst he would not ob- iect to the questioning of White on this.line. Senator Walsh. the commit tee prosecutor. said the testimony sought was nevertheless wholly ir- relevant. He deemed it important tO show large contributions by oil men 10 the republican campaign fund. he said, because from if there might come legitimate inference that re- publican officials were influenced un- duly in granting oil leases.
 Doltcny Contributed
 Senator Spencer insisted. and White said Sinclair made no contribution to inc democratic fund. Doheny had given s9.900 during tho campaign. he said. and s25.Gog afterwards to help wipe out deficit.
 When his attention was called to DOheny's testimony that his contribu- iion had been S75.00o. White said the California oil magnate was mistaken.
 Senator Walsh recalled that Bo- hcny's memory for figures was faulty in the case of the payments made for the legal services Of William G. Me Adoo.
 After a session lasting f5 minutes the committee adjourned until next Monday because Of the absence Of other witnesses

of every kind have been deeply con cerned for fear those in power will plunge the country into economic rum which they have been declaring ever since the subject was mentioned, would come were a bonus to be grant ed to the former fighters.
 The Herald has been predicting from day to day, almost that great wave of feeling in favor of the bonus would sweep the country. and that it would not be long before the tleaders" came to the realization at last that the people--not alone the selfish poli- ticians who are looking for the soldier vote--want to do what is right by the men who were ready to serve the country and who served.
 And according to the line of reason ing believed to be sound we believe the people will get. eventually, what lH's ant, tiit slitiLci tioiA of payment of this just debt. Here and there are being seen signs that indicate those who have been at trfbuting an ulterior motive to every man in public life who favors the bonus are little less insistent. Deaf as many of them have been to the public demand. their ears have at last heard at least the echo of that de- mand. And so, they say, perhaps we had, not better take such strong stand against it. Possibly there might not be such had results from the pas sage of bonus act of some sort. Let's look at it, say some of these men who have been unalteraDly opposed to the bonus.
 Perhaps Henry Clews & Co, brok- ~ss, are as well known as any among the financial people of the country. It is interesting to note what they nave to say on the subject. as appears in copied editorial, reprinted under the title Cheerful Side of the Bonus" in the New Haven Journal Courier:
 Supposing that the bonus
 passes. however, the immediate
 effect of it will be to cause tre-
 mendous demand for goods, since
 few, if any, Of the recipients may
 be expected to save the money
 they get. Then again, the bank
 borrowing features Of it will also
 tend in the direction of higher
 prices for many classes of stocks.
 Prom the short term viewpoint
 the bcuus makes for grelt"r ac-
 tiyity and higher value, and while there Is no way of avoiding the ultimate results Of the legislation. itmust be admitted that economic affairs arc nowadays moving fast. so that lt will be easy Tor uneH- pectel conditions to intervene rud to change the entire situation be- fore the reflex effects Of bonus cy-
 travagance make themselves felt,
 It may be practicable, as some
 have suggested, too. 10 obtain
 legislation imposing sales tax or
 otherwise arranging matters SO
 that bonus disbursements will
 tond more nearly to provide their
 own means Of liquidation. This
 still remains 10 he seen. There
 Is a good deal certainly to be done
 toward limiting the modorsting otherwise dangerous consequences of the legislation.

 The total of these figures is 5,027 or but little less than third of the number of registered voters to- day. Those figures, 5,O27. were, taken about the time of the Spanish War. For those who were residents of the city at that timc or who are mature enough to recall the exact political complexion. of the city at that time, namely how these 5,027 voters were divided politically, an interesting com parison with conditions today is sus- gested. Has there been improvement In the management of the city affairs and if so wherein has that improve ment been seen and who has been rec sponsibla for 1t? Despite the criticism VI HlSloiN Us bhllh Hltlibultu Ao d great man of today, the fact remains that history is great teacher. Per | haps the experience of the past 25 years will suggest something worth | while to those who recall those days in this city ..
 Under the same heading yesterday was the statement that 900 building applications had been issued in the year just past--twenty-ilvo years ago. The Herald carried story yesterday telling Of tho i,2SG permits issued dur ing the fiscal year just past.
 For those who fail 10 be impressed ! by the repeated emphasis being laid upon the outlook for future growth of 1 this city. these figures should be Of especial value. New Britain will con- tlnue 10 grow; it's number of voters and tho number of permits for build tng will increase in rather greater pro- ' portion than the theory of decreasing i ratios would suggest.

80 BODIES Of
MINERS FOUND
Search for 81 Others En-
tombed in West Virginia
Is Being Continued

WHEELING, w. Va, April 20
The burned and crushed bodies OF
80 victims of yesterdays explosion
and fire in the Benwood Mill Mine
of the Wheeling Steel Corporation,
had been found by rescue workers
up to s o'clock this morning, and
search for 81 others who were en-
tombed, continued under direction
of experts of the United States
Bureau of Mines. While the res
cuers despaired of reaching any OF
the men alive. they lost no time in
exploring the underground recesses
AS the bodies were located they were
placed to one side in the mine tun-
nels, and the rescuers, weary and
worn by night of hard work, con-
tinued their battle against fallen
rock and earth and poison gas.
None of the bodies will be brought
to the surface until every tunnel and
chamber has been explored.
