Measures Likely to Reach
Senate This Week.
KING MAKES SOME CHANGES
Reductions in Higher Salary Fig
ures Are Favored.
KING MAKES SOME CHANGES

Two important District measures,
tho teachers pay bill and the police
and flremen's pay bill. have bright
prospects of being reported to the
senate this week.
The teachers bill will be the sub
tect OF conference between Senator
Capper OF Kansas and Senator King
Of Utah, n subcommittee to which
the measure was referred, at O'Clock
tomorrow afternoon. 1t Is Senator
Capper's hope that 1t will be possible
Senate committee on Wednesday, and
that the full committee will then re-
port the measure promptly to the
Senate.
Some Changes Likely.
The bill already has passed the
House, and hearings were held re-
Gently on 1T before the Senate COM
mittee. Senator King, it is under
stood, is opposed to some of the in
creases proposed for the higher paid
teachers and school officials, and will
ask for some amendments covering
them.
The police ard firemen's pay bill is
before a subcommittee consisting of
senator Ball of Delaware and Senator
King. Senator King has been work
ing on this bill. too, on some hoSsi-
bic reductions in the higher salaries
The bin has been amended so as to
include the park police. 1t, too, has
passed the House.
Take Up Fnre Bill.
The Senate District subcommittee
on public utilities will continue its
heraings on the McKellar Scent
street car fare bill Wednesday at
10 am. Senator Mcclellan, author of
the bill. expressed the hope last night
that it would be possible to conclude
the hearings Wednesday, but this is
doubtful. as so far only the officials
fthe Capital Traction Company have
been heard. George Z. Hamilton,
president of that company is expected
10 be heard Wednesday.
Senator NICK ellar'S attention was
called to the action of the Public
Utilities Commission in raising the
fare on the bus lines of the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company to 10
cents cash fare and three tickets for
% cents. He expressed interest in
this action. but said he had not given
study TO the case of the bus line and
It's f1nances and therefore was unable
10 comment upon the action of the
comm Ssion.

WARE ASKS PINCHOT
DEFEAT AS DELEGATE
G. o. P. Leader Declares Election
of Governor Will Approve
Heney-Couzens Deal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April l9.-Gov.
Pinchot's suggestion TO Senator
Couzens of Michigan that Francis J.
Heney of California be appointed at
torney in the Senate committee inves-
tigation of Treasury Department bu-
reaus caused a break today in his
support for Republican delegate at
large to the Cleveland convention.
The listless primary campaign was
enlivened by Representative William
6. Ware, one of the Republican leaders
of Philadelphia, announcing his op-
position to the governors candidacy
and his support of Ralph Beaver
Strassburger, wealthy publisher of
Norristown Mr.. Strassburger four
years ago supported Senator Johnson
of California for the president al
nomination. but is running for dele
gate at large as a Coolidge man
Pinchot Is Silent
Tonight it was said that Gov.
Pinchot had nothing to say. but that
he may issue statement tomorrow.
The governor is one or the seven
slated candidates of the Republican
state organization, his name being
accepted by state leaders aiter a
number OF conferences. In one ol
which the governor took part. When
state leaders pledged their support
OF Mr.. Pinchot, Mr.. Strassburger an
nounced his candidacy against that
OF the governor.
Representative Ware. who has sup
ported the governor in many of his
undertakings in the state administra-
tion, announced that the action OF the
governor in the Treasury investtsa-
ton is regarded by regular Repuo-
licans as an attack on Secretary Mel
Ion and the Coolidge administration:
"Stalwart Republicans in Philadel-
phia," the Ware statement added, in
sist that the support OF the gov
ernor's candidacy by the Philadelphia
Republican organization would be an
Endorsement of his action. and their
protest against such a course has be-
come SO strong that 1t cannot be
ignored by the Philadelphia Repub-
lican organization.
1T had been generally conceded
that, as d Republican governor. Mr..
Pinchot, in accordance with prece-
dent, was entitled to full support as
a candidate for national delegate, and
l was prepared to help give him that
support when he brought about the
present situation"

nature. Aside from these, the way
practically was cleared yesterday for
the passage of the bill.
During the more than three hours
of debate not a speech in opposition
to the bonus was made, the contro-
versy centering on the proposal for
a cash option.
Senator Watson declared, however.
that if this proposition were adopted
enough Republican votes would oe
lost to prevent passage of the bill
over a presidential veto.
Cost $500. .OOo, 900.
Senator Curtis said the cost of the
bill probably would amount to $2,5o0,-
0o0. 900 spread over period of twenty
Aears. Senator Walsh of Massachu-
setts. insisted the measure woul4 cost
sS, 500, ,000.o 900, but that the combina-
ton cash and insurance measure
would cost $500, 600, 900 less.
An amendment offered by Senator
Curtis to make all employees who
would be required for administration
of the bill subject to civil service ex-
animation was adopted, as was a
amendment making women
who served in the yeoman service OF
the Navy and Marine Corps eligible
to the bonus. This affects about H.
