COOLIDGE FOR NEW
ARMS LIMITATIONS

New York.-The promise Of efforts
to bring about another world confer
ence to attempt further limitation Of
Coolidge In an address at the annual
luncheon of the Associated Press at
the Waldorf-Astoria.
Such efforts, the President declared,
must be predicated on the firm estab-
lishment Of a definite settlement Of
German reparations. With this eff
fected, America would we'll be In q
position to take the lead In promoting
an international conference.
The President expressed the belief
that the proposed conference might
we'll be based on the theory of the
Washington conference Of few years
ago, which, he called to mind, had to
leave unsolved the question of sub
marine, aircraft and land forces.
The conference, he asserted, might
well take up the codification Of inter-
national law with an attempt to estab-
fish rules Of warfare and to determine
the rights of neutrals.
While emphasizing that Europe
must first set her economic house In
order, Mr.. Coolidge declared there ap-
peared to be every reason to hope that
the report Of the reparations COM
missions committee Of experts "offers
basis for a practical solution Of the
separations problem"
He proposed that private American
capital participate In the loan to Ger
many contemplated in the committees
report. Such participation, he sug-
gested, would benefit American trade
and commerce and provide a market
for American agricultural production.

SENATE ADOPTS
INSURANCE PLAN
Passes Bonus Bill With Cash
Option Out; Gold Brick
Say Democrats.

Observation-Disclosures the defeat
Of the Copeland cash option amend
ment by vote of Al to 38, the senate
passed the soldier bonus bill based on
the endowment insurance certificate
plan. On the final roll call the vote
was 81 to II.
Resembles House Bill.
The bill as passed by the senate
closely resembles the house bill There
Will be en- early agreement In confer
ence AID the measure will soon 60 to
President Coolidge for acceptance or
rejection. Opinion Is divided whether
the President will sign the bill or veto
It. Should he veto 1t, the bonus lead
ers declare there are votes In sight
at both ends Of the capitol to enact
the measure over the veto.
Final disposition Of the bill In the
senate was effected after a storm OF
speechmaking In which Democratic
senators denounced the insurance
measure as a sCbterfuge and declared
their purpose, once this bill Is enacted,
to seek to bring about passage Of
cash bonus proposition.
AssaiIs Bill az "Gold Brick"
They renewed their charges that
part Of the Republican senator's had
agreed not to vote to override the veto
OF cash option bill and thus had
created situation which Tlade II i'm
possible to support the cash option
amendment without endangering bonus
legislation.
Senator Simmons. ranking I emocrat
on the finance committee, '3sailed the
bill as "a gold brick" He predicted
there would be an awakening among
the veterans when they realized that
under the bill the veteran Who needs
money I'LL be unable for three years
to obtain It through a loan on his In
surance certificate

termine the rights of neutrals. He
also Endorsed the Harding proposal for
American adherence to the world
court.
The President touched on the desire
for profits and the quest for easy
money, revealed in current govern
ment investigations, as symptomatic
Of the morbid financial state of mind
brought on by the war. and continued !:
''From all of this sordidness the af-
fairs OF government, OF course, suf-
fered. In some Of II a few public off,
GERS were guilty participants. But the
wonder Is not that this was so much
or so many, rather that II has been
so little and so few.
"The encouraging thing at present
Is the evidence of wen nigh COM
plete return to normal methods Of ac-
ton, and sane public opinion. The
gravity Of guilt of this kind Is fully
realized and publicly reprehended.
There Is an exceedingly healthy dis
position to uproot 1t altogether. and
administer punishment wherever COM
petent evidence Of guilt can be pro-
duced. That I am doing and propose
TO continue"

SEEKS COMPROMISE.
On JAP EXCLUSION.
President Wants to Bar
but Not Peeve Them;
Works on Plan.

Washington. - The first intimation
Of President Coolidge's attitude on the
japanese immigration question devel-
oped when II was announced officially
at the White House that the Presi-
dent Is at work on a compromise plan
which would be acceptable alike to
the exclusionists and the japanese.
Plan Faces Obstacles.
The President has held several con-
ferences the last few days with Sec
rotary Hughes and Senator Colt, both
OF whom are antagonistic to the John
son immigration bill insofar as 1t alb
rogates the existing "gentlemen's
agreement" with the Japanese govern
ment.
II Is plain that the way of the Pres
ident in ironing out the difficulty will
be beset with obstacles on all sides.
The plan Of the President Is to so
adjust the matter that the imperial
government will not consider itself
affronted. This will be difficult, be-
cause Of the overwhelming vote in
both houses Of congress for the John
son bill AZ II now stands.
May Veto Bill.
Progress in effecting a compromise
VIII be accomplished slowly. II at all.
1t Is believed that President Cool
idge will endeavor to obtain reconsid-
Grafton of the exclusion clause. II
that move fails. II Is possible that he
may veto the bill.
The japanese are pulling every pos
sible wire in the United States to pre-
vent passage Of the exclusion measure.
Their object, at whatever sacrifice, Is
to avoid what they term the humilia-
ton Of being barred from the United
States by statute.
One plan Is that the gentlemen's
agreement should be changed so that
Japan will not grant passports to the
United States except to those who
wish to travel and study.

ID EALIZING that economic relations
far more vital to the former than to
the latter, Japan's privy council Is un-
derstood to have Endorsed the govern
ment's conduct In the immigration ex-
clusion matter. That Is, continued
protest against the American exclu-
sion act but no retaliation. The Japa-
nese were still hoping that President
Coolidge would veto the measure. and
this he was asked to do by a great
mass meeting In Osaka. Ambassador
Hanihara. meanwhile, explained to
congress that the words grave conse-
to convey anything in the nature OF
threat, but Representative Johnson,
chairman of the house committee on
immigration, replied with a statement
that the action Of congress had been
assured before the note was written
exclusion clause was not due to re-
sentiment against the ambassadors
language.
ID ECAUSE Of his interference" In
- the senate investigation Of the in
ternal revenue bureau by suggesting
the employment Of Francis Heney as
Investigator, Governor Pinchot lost
the chance to sit in the Republican
national convention as delegate at
large from Pennsylvania. Representa-
tive Ware and others turned on him
for what they considered disloyalty
to the administration, and Ralph B..
Strassburger Of Norristown defeated
the governor by a large majority.
PinchOt blamed the vets. Pennsyl-
vanla, New Jersey and Delaware all
elected delegates favorable to Cool
idge and seemingly his nomination Is
an absolute certainty. Reports are
that he wants Frank Lowden Of I'LL
nois as his running mate, and, failing
that, wishes Lowden to be temporary
chairman and to deliver the keynote
speech. 1t Is interesting to note that
the Democratic national committee is
considering the selection of q woman
as temporary chairman OF the national
convention In New York.

BOGUE INSTITUTE
PROVIDES BOON
TOSTAMMERERS
Started Twenty-Three Years
Ago With One Student
Now Has Hundreds,

How many stammerers are
here in America" The question
was put to Benjamin n. BOgue,
president of the Bogue Institute for
stammerers. 1147 y. Illinois st. His
reply was startling.
THE last census placed the figure
at more than 1000 he declared
and. of course. there are thousands
who are never located. With our
steadily increasing population. there
must be nearly a million stammer-
ers in this country now"
Think of it, Three times as many
people as there are in the entire city
OF indianapolis. Enough stammer-
ers. If they were all gathered to-
gether, to make a city larger than
Boston, or Baltimore, or ST. Louis.
This point was suggested to
Porue. Yes" he smiled, and what
a strange town it would be- For one
thing. it would be a city without
telephone. The average person who
stammerers cannot very well talk
over a telephone. Therefore the city
would have no need for telephones.
1T would be a city without
churches. because stammerers rare
~ preach. A city without literary
societies or debating circles, rs
stammerer cannot take active part
in these affairs. A city without
schools. because It IS very difficult
for stammerer to progress IN
school. let alone teach others. A
city without theaters, because n
stammerer has no place in the
theatrical world.
1T would be a city OF poor and
Indifferent businesses, because what
stammerer can dictate a letter or So
Hcit business when he cannot talk?
tt would be a city Of streets thronged
with nervous wrecks. people with
bad dispositions. sad faces, sullen
expressions. and. in all, 1t would be
a city of gloom and dependency.
Twenty three years ago Bogue,
himself a stammerer. founded his In
