OF any such name, had ever lived at

washington police had pinned
their hopes on finding the child's
parents through the torn bits of
paper and a pin bearing the colors
OF the University of Maryland.
A demure little woman, carrying
q baby in her arms, walked into the
hotel late yesterday afternoon and
registered as Mrs. j. E. Carroll, of
Hagerstown, Md. Late last night,
Edwin j. Brennan, manager of the
hotel, whose room adjoined that

Of a baby. He investigated and

VETERANS!
THE TIMES CAN
SOLVE YOUR
Bonus Problems
ASK US!

Questions concerning the
aOorId aOar bonus are answered
daily IN this column. If you are
unable to, call personally at the
bonus information bureau in the
Hearst Building, 1917 Fl street
northwest, mail your inquiry.
ANSWERS are based on the most
authoritative Information aUdiI-
able. HoWeUer, no full legal tn
terpretation of the bonus laW
has been issued.
Q. enlisted in the army jan
uary IT, 1914, and accepted a tenn
porary commission as second lieu
tenant September 5, 1918. l re-
signed this commission on Novem-
Der s, 1915, to accept a second
lieutenant's commission in the
Philippine Scouts. which was a
permanent commission, but re.
Quired reappointment every four
years. resigned this commits
sion for the good of the service
in February, 1921. and enlisted in
the marine corps on April IS,
1921. I received a good conduct
medal for my first three years
enlistment in the marine corps.
The question is whether the
War Department rules that a
resignation for the good of the
service is an honorable one. It
certainly was not dishonorable
ore. Even If it is so adjudged,
would not be entitled to a bonus
UP to November s, 1918?
p. NJ. B., Quantico, Va.
A. In the first place, the bonus
act states that the term veteran"
Is construed not to include any
individual during the war period
or thereafter separated from
such forces under other than non
orable conditions" The Veterans
Bureau understands this to mean
that only honorablv discharged
men are entitled to the bonus.
You do not mention your war
record. If you were performing
home. service not with troops,
and receiving communication Of
quarters or subsistence, you are
not entitled to the bonus for the
period Of such service. Service
in the Philippine Scouts likewise
may not be computed. If you
are still doubtful, make applica-
ton for the bonus and sths War
Department will pass finally upon
your case. Perhaps your subse-
quent record warrants leniency.
Q. If a veteran was honorably
discharged from the Army after
oversee service. but later was
accused of failing to cooperate
with the Veterans Bureau in
vocational training and his COM
pensation was stopped. would he
be entitled to the bonus?-J. II. H.
A. Yes. The bonus has no con.
nection whatever with other &C.
tivities of the Veterans Bureau.
@. had to raise my age to
get into the Army for the war,
and I would like to know If I
cannot be allowed to collect the
bonus under my right age, as
understand 1t will be more at my
present age than II I computed
according to the age gave on
my enlistment.-D. G. r.
A.. You must compute accord
ing to age you gave at your en-.
listment. If you enlisted under n
name other than your name, you
should make application under
that name.
@. A veteran whom knew
came out of the war with honors,
but in 1921 he was convicted of
a crime I know ne did not com.
NIT. He died in the penitentiary.
His mother is his only living
relative. Would his jail record
have any effect on his bonus?
A. No. The mother should ap-
ply for the bonus.

AFTERMATH
OF BUTLER
WRANGLE
Presidents Secretary Not
Coming Back to White
House, Is Belief
By GEORGE E. DURNO,
international News Service.


Scheduled as a climax to the
bitter fractional row that developed
&C Cleveland last week over the
methods of William M. Butler in
directing the Republican conven-
ton, the resignation of G. Bascom
Slemp as secretary to the Presi-
dent is expected soon after adj
iournment Of the Democratic ma
t:onal convention.
Rejects Minor Role.
Friends of the virginian indicated
clearly today that Slemp will not
consent to play second fiddle" to
Butler; friends of President Coolidge
let it be known with equal emphasis
that the White House is determined
to stand back OF Butler as chairman
Of the national committee in full
charge Of the Coolidge campaign.
Whether Slemp-now in Cincin-
nati-will even return to Washing.
ton in his official position was held
to be problematical. When he de-
parted from the Capital he issued
a statement that he would not re-
sign.
Since, the President has taken ex-
ception publicly to that portion Of
the statement which declared the
advisory committee Of the national
committee. of which Slemp was
scheduled to become a member.
would have the real" management
Of the campaign.
Assertion Regulated. y
An official spokesman for the
White House repudiated this asser.
ton of Slemp's, branding it as a
direct affront to the entire member
ship of the national committee, and
political leaders here now believe
the rift between the President and
his aide has widened to a point
where 1t cannot be bridged.
The break, however, is not ex-
pected until after the Democratic
convention. Slemp ia too much Of
a rock-ribbed Republican to afford
the enemy a point Of attack during
that assembly. z
Mr.. Coolidge is represented as
being reluctant to lose the services
of Slemp. He is said to be .determ-
ined. nevertheless, to 'liberalize"
the Republican party, and to this
end he is prepared to offer his
secretary as a sacrifice should the
latter refuse to yield to the DONNA
ton Of Chairman Butler.
Ousting Old Guards.
Butler was appointed to play the
role of liberator. He has, 1t is
said, the Presidents instructions to
free the party Of Old Guard reaction
airy rule.
The President refuses to concede
himself to be reactionary, point.
ing to his record as governor Of
Massachusetts, by way of refutation,
and he therefore is with Butler to
the finish.
y The new chairman, however, is
scheduled for a brief lecture on the
art Of playing politics when he ar
rived in Washington some time next
week.
Reports Of the Cleveland affair
have convinced the President that
Butler displayed certain lack of
tact in his dealings both with his
political associates and the press.
Mr.. Coolidge has indicated to call.
ers that he will admonish his cam
paign manager against the applica-
ton of hard-boiled business methods
to his political maneuvering in the
future.
