Democratic Fight for Cash
Payments Likely to
Cause Delay.
By International Nows Service.

The new soldiers bonus bill will
be in President Coolidge's hands for
acceptance or rejection early in
May, it was indicated today as the
Senate opened debate on the
measure.
Republican leaders hope to get
the bill passed by the middle Of
next week.. but a fight over the
Democratic proposal to offer the
veterans cash bonus instead of
paid-up insurance policies may de.
lay final action.
II unexpected delays crop up dur
ing the consideration Of the bill, 1t
probably will be put aside so that
the Senate can pass some of the
big appropriation bills.

PLAN TODEPORT
BO0TLEGG|NG
ALIENS
Bill Proposes Deportation OF
Law-breaking Foreigners
After Prison Term.
By A. o. HAYWARD,
International News Service.

On the heels Of the most dras-
tic restriction Of immigration ever
attempted in this country, the
House Judiciary Committee pre-
pared to report favorably today a
bill that will provide for the
deportation Of aliens convicted of
violating the narcotic and prohibi-
ton laws.
Prison First.
The deportation would not take
place until after such aliens served
prison terms for their convictions.
Immediately upon their release from
prison the aliens would be taken
into custody by immigration Off
Gals and sent back to the country
from which they came to the United
States.
The committee in draftin the
law has endeavored to make sure
that the alien to be deported shall
be denied the protection Of other
laws which are now invoked to de-
lay or defeat deportation orders by
the Secretary of Labor.
The new bill to get rid Of un.
desirable aliens Is supplemental to
the restrictive and selective legisla-
ton which passed the Senate last
night. The hill has already passed
the House. Its purpose is to limit
the number of alien immigrants
coming to this country and to select
those who may come.
Border Patrol Strengthened.
Another move to insure the better
class Of new arrivals in the United
States was taken by the House
when 1t increased by $1,2O0.000 the
appropriation for next fiscal year
for the patrol of the Mexican and
Canadian borders.
immigration Commissioner Hus-
band reported to the House Imlmi-
grafton committee that fully five
times the number Of lawfully ad.
missable aliens were entering sur.
reptitiously across the two borders.
These included Japanese, Chinese,
Mexicans and Europeans. The
border running" was said to be
an organized business for which
the promoters received good pay.
The present border patrols are too
few in number and too widely sepa-
rated to prevent the running. Four
agents were assassinated during the
past year, it was stated.

SENATE To ACT
ON DAUCHERTY
CONTEMPT
Formal Request for Citation
of Banker Is Given to
Brookhart.
HINES Rae RF4oI0
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
International News Service.

With both the Daugherty and
Wheeler Investigations adjourned
until Monday, the Senate's spotlight
Of interest centered today on the
possible institution Of contempt pro.
readings against Mally s. Daugh.
erty, brother Of the former attorney
general, for his defiance of the
Wheeler Brookhart committee.
A formal request for the con.
tempt citation was in the hands OF
Senator Brookhart Rep.) of Iowa
committee chairman, and there
were indications he would submit
it to the Senate during the day.
His committee recommended the
contempt proceedings a week ago
Method Of Procedure.
If the Senate confirms the com.
mittee's action, the United States
District Attorney here will be in,
structed to begin criminal action
against Daugherty along the same
procedure followed against Harry
F.. Sinclair. Conviction would sub.
ject Daugherty to a penalty Of both
fine and imprisonment
The contempt charge grew out
Of Daugherty's refusal to testify
when subpoened by the committee
and his refusal to deliver to the
committee the records Of the Mid,
land National Bank at Washington
Courthouse, Ohio, over which he
presided. The books were demanded
by the committee when an in
vestigator unearthed evidence OF
large deposits to the accounts OF
Harry M. Daugherty and the late
Jesse w. Smith.
To Resume Monday.
The Daugherty investigation will
be resumed Monday, it was an
nounced by Senator Wheeler Dem,
Of Montana, acting prosecutor. d
The subjects to be Investigated next
week, he said, would center around
the handling Of antitrust suits in
the Department Of Justice. This
phase Of the investigation, it was
said, was not expected to reveal any
dereliction on the part of former At
torney General Daugherty but
would be undertaken merely tC
round out the inquiry.
The separate investigation into
Wheeler's fitness to hold office,
conducted by the Borah committee
as a result Of his indictment by q
Federal grand jury In Montana, also
will be continued next week. A re
spite was ordered over the weekend
In order to allow witnesses, sum
Enoned from Montana, to reach here
Among those cabled will be mem
bers Of the grand jury and the dis
trict attorney who obtained the In
dictment.
Thus far, the Borah committed
has brought out evidence favorable
to Wheeler and in direct conflict
with the indictment, which the
Senator charged was due to q
"frame-up." Wheeler also has
subpoened a number Of witnesses
whom he claimed, would support
his charges OF Irregularities In thu

COMPENSATION
MEASURE IS
BLOCKED
Legislation for Workmen's
Protection Is DeadIocked
in Subcommittee.

There is little hope for the pas.
sage Of workmen's compensation
legislation during the present ses.
sion Of Congress as a result Of re.
cent developments. ..,
The bill prepared by Congressman
Roy G. Fitzgerald Of Ohio now the
only measure before Congress, fol-
lowing the elimination in commit

cnt deadlocked in subcommittee.
Owing to the refusal of Congress.
man Stanley H. Kunz Of Illinois, to
vote for the bill unless it is radi.
cally changed, 1t is unlikely that
further action can be taken in time
to secure 1t a favorable place on
the House calendar.
Amendment Proposal.
Congressman Kunz would have
the bill amended so as to permit
employers to take out liability in
surance in private companies, with
a provision that the United States
Employees Compensation Commission
insure them and compel the pay
ment Of the premiums in case they
fail to insure voluntarily.
The Fitzgerald bill provides for
an exclusive government insurance,
to be administered by the compen-
sation commission. The Underhill
bill provided that private casualty
companies should handle the insur.
ance.
Supporters Of the Fitzgerald bill
declare that the Kunz propose
would entirely alter the plan and
defeat the purpose Of the bill. There
are five members of the sObcommit.
tee before which the bill now Ia
pending. Two are opposed to the
Fitzgerald bill in any form and
two are in favor of the. bill as Ii
now stands. KunZ' vote, the de.
Gliding ballot, is withheld until a
compromise bill is prepared, a plan
which is bitterly opposed by both
factions.
One Hope Ueft.
There Is one hope for early re.
port of the measure. The bill can
be reported as it Is to the full Dis.
trtct committee, with the provision
that the Kunz amendment be Of
fered there. Kunz today declared
that this course will be agreeable
to him and it undoubtedly would
meet with the favor Of Congress.
men Fitzgerald and Oscar e. KEEL.
Ter, Of Minnesota, supporters Of the
Fitzgerald measure.
Action of the District committee
on the amendment proposed by
Congressman Kunz is problematical
House leaders probably will op.
pose bringing the bill UP on the
floor. in view Of the fact that It in
Of a highly controversial nature
and will precipitate q long fight
which Is certain to tie up all other
District legislation during the re.
mander Of the session.
