BONUS NOT PROPER
REWARD For VETS,
UNDERWOOD AYERS

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. ga
bonus would not be an appropriate
reward for the ex.service men, Sen
ator Oscar w. Underwood of Ala
bama, declared here Wednesday in
an address before the members of
the South Carolina general assem-.
bly,, asserting further that in his
opinion it would be far more to the
interests both Of the public and the
veterans at this time that taxes be
reduced.
One of the issues upon which he
will base his candidacy for the nom
ination for the presidency, he said,
will be law enforcement. Enforce
ment of the law, he declared, de-
ponds entirely upon a strong senti-
ment for law enforcement. 1--WE have
come to a time in the history of
America when there is less respect
for law than ever before, and the
sentiment for enforcement must be
preserved if the union itself is to
be preserved"
Senator Underwood attacked the
foreign policy of the present admin
istration and reviewed briefly the
events in the senate investigation of
the Teapot Dome oil affair.
He returned to Washington late
Wednesday.

MERMAID WOMAN
IN JAIL TERR|F|ES
FRANK M DOWELL

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb. %.
While rabbits appearing in dreams,
thoughts of two double murders he
is said to have confessed, possibility
no terrors for Frank Mcdowell, held
in the Clearwater Jail in connection
with the Staying Of his father, moth
er and two sisters, when he believed
he saw "mermaids," last night, he
set up a howl, according to Jail Of
ficials.
Mcdowell, this morning, put up
a cry to the officers at the county
Jail, that he wanted to be moved
into another cell at once. Deputy
Sheriffs, investigating, found his
next cell neighbor, an insane WON
an, was labOring under the delusion
that she was a mermaid and acting
the part, was indulging in frequent
eXtemporaneous baths within the
narrow confines of her cell.

Dowell pleaded. This is too much
for me-"

Mcdowell must appear in court

toward complying with requirements
of the Florida law that persons, ac-
quainted with the object of the in
sanity inquiry, must sign a petition
for it.
Now held in the Pinellas county
jail at Clearwater, Mcdowell con-
tinues to jot down countless notes
by means of which he says he is
endeavoring to analyze his mind and
recall details of his life that may
serve to explain the motive for the
two double killings which he has
admitted in a number of signed con-
fessions.
The latest bit of information the
10 year old boy recalls is that at
the age of five years in Forsyth,
Ga, he saw light cast upon the wall
of a barn one evening. The light was
in the form of a goat, the same
shape that occurred to him in visions
twice later and which he thought
each time was the Holy Ghost, COM

sisters and then his parents.

Still Seized BY
SHERIFF'S FORCE

Charles Strickler, a rancher resid-
ing north of Bozeman, was arrested
Monday by members of the sheriff's
force, charged with the operation OF
an illicit whisky still. The officers
confiscated a still, the capacity of
which was about 40 or so gallons, to-
gather with the coils and other ap-
paratus and equipment that went with
it. Two jugs ofmoonshine were also
cOnfiscated and brought to the coun-
ty Jail to be used, in the trial as evil
dence against the man.
One of the jugs was found con-
cealed in the chicken house, while the
other was located in the dwelling.
AS the information in this case was
filed direct in the district court, Mr..
Strickler was arranged before Judge
Ben B. Law today.

CITY WORKING OUT
LICENSE QUESTION
CITY COMMISSIONERS AND CITY
MANAGER CONFERING WITH
LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS

In an effort to provide city licens-
ing ordinance that will be fair and
equitable to all the interests concerned
and one that will not only avoid furth-
er litigation but will wipe out all
traces of civic inharmony which re
suited from inconsistencies and
charges of favoritism against the past
city management, the two city COM
missioners now in Bozeman, Mayor
Edmund Burke and Jerry Parkin and
City Manager Fred NJ. Brown, with
the legal assistance of City Attorney
George D. Pease, are engaged in work
ing out new schedule of license fees
for all the various classes of business
in the city that will be sufficiently
large, in the aggregate, to pay the ex-
penses of the city police and health
departments and fire departments de-
ficits, for the coming year.
The action of the city commissioners
is being taken as the result Of public
meetings and conferences, the first
being that of the entire membership of
the Bozeman Welfare association,
which was held last Thursday evening
at the K. P. hall, and at which the
city commissioners, the city manager
and the city attorney were specially
invited guests. The association was
represented by Attorney VIM. E.
Keely, of Deer Lodge.
Following this meeting, the city
commissioners were waited upon by
a committee of ten members of the
Retail Merchants association.
The bone of contention, which it is
expected win be ironed out with the
adoption of the proposed ordinance,
is an unwillingEess on the part of the
Welfare association members to pay
their 1923 licenses, for failure to pay
which 80 of their number were made
defendants in civil actions by the past
city administration, unless and until
the remaining non-payees, not mem
bers of the association, were also made
to pay their delinquencies; and until
the larger places of business agree to
pay, for the past several years, a
license fee in just proportion to that
assessed against the smaller business
houses and service establishments.

FIRST TOURISTS 60
WEST THRU BOHEMIAN

Breaking all known previous rec
ords for early overland migration by
motor, three tourists in Ford car,
on their way from Fargo, n. D.. bound
for Spokane, passed through Bozeman
yesterday, Tuesday, according to Yel-
lowstone Trailman Dave Kramer.
The men were James L., Harry G..
and James E. Brown, the former two
being brothers. They said they en-
countered the first bad stretch Of
road, which they found almost i'm
passible, between Big Timber and Liv-
ingston. They left the latter city
yesterday morning at 7 o'clock and
arrived in Bozeman at z o'clock in the
evening, exactly II hours being con-
sumed on the trip, the worst places of
which were in the two deep cuts in
Rocky canyon. They had to be pulled
out of the drifts several times by
teams.
They said they would not attempt
TO climb the Butte hill, but expected
to take the route via Dillon and Ida
no Falls, returning in a month or two
to eastern Montana.

PARTY POLITICS is
NOT THE ISSUE IN
TEAPOT DOME MESS

President Calvin Coolidge, in his
address on national and interna-
tional political and economic af-
fairs of the present time, delivered
yesterday at a meeting of the Ma
tiOnal Republican club in New York
city in cOmmemoration of Lincoln's
birthday, devoted considerable COM
ment to the recent disclosures in
the leasing of government oil lands,
in which the skirts Of Democrats
including a presidential aspirant,
William Gibbs McAdoo, as we'll as
former Republican office holders.
were considerably stained. con-
cluded his remarks with the fol-
lowing prophetic and statesman
like utterance:
There will be immediate, ade-
quate, unshrinking prosecution,
both criminal and civil, TO punish
the guilty and to protect every ma
ional interest. In this effort there
will be no politics, no partisanship.
am a Republican. but l cannot,
on that account, shield anyone be-
cause he is a Republican. I am a
Republican, but | cannot, on that
account, prosecute anyone because
he is a Democrat.
Disturbing as this situation has
been, it has its reassuring side. The
high moral standards of the peo-
pie were revealed by their instant
reaction against wrong doing. The
officers Of the government, with
out respect to the party, have
demonstrated a common purpose to
protect government property and
to bring the guilty to justice"
