WORSE OFF in
OTHER STATES
French Says Washington
Wheat Farmers are in
Best Shape of Any

That. the Washington wheat farm
ers are enjoying the greatest measure
of financial returns of any state in
the Union was the declaration of Di-
rector E. L. French Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture today.
"The wheat crop and market re-
port places Washington State wheat
returns at $31.13 per acre. This fig
ure is not reached by the wheat farm
ers of any other state" said Director
French. "And yet our farmers are
hard pressed financially. What must
be the condition of the wheat grow
ers in the other states?"
"But the whole story is not told
in the supremacy Of Washington
yield of $31.13 per acre, continued
Mr.. French. 'The yield of $12.30 in
Kansas, $14.79 in Nebraska, $19.31 in
Missouri, $2O.79 in Iowa and $20.8S
in Illinois, all of which are heavy
wheat producing states, means that
the Washington farmer ID further 70
the good than the bare figures would
indicate.
"Less acreage is required in WASH
ington to produce the results. and
again in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri
particularly, not only are the taxes
much higher, but land value much
greater, and of course, more interest
figures as overhead.
'Wheat yield in this state is twen-
ty-five bushels per acre, while the
general average over the United
States is 1876 bushels. The returns
for wheat in this state in 1923 is
placed at $52 ,4s2, 900 and this is the
highest figure reached since 1919,
and is nearly $20,000,00 more than
the 1922 CROP"

NEW BANK ALARM
 FIRES FUSILLADE
Care To Be Taken, However,
 That Patrons Are Not Hit

CHICAGO, March 13.-(By The As. sociated Press. .)-An automatic burg. lar alarm for banks which fires blank cartridges simultaneously in all the money cages and from the direction of all doors. is among the protective de- vices under test in the laboratories of the National Board of Fire Under writers.
 Rapid fire automatic pistols set off by push buttons attributed through out the bank continue the alarm fea- ture of the system. The theory of the inventor is that the fusillade will put the bandits to flight.
 The mechanism, housed in small steel box beneath the teller's window, is operated of the cartridge belt prin- ciple of the machine gun. As many firing boxes as are desired may be in- stalled, and the trigger buttons may be distributed to every employe.
 Improvements to make the device fool proof through perfections will pre- vent it's being loaded with genuine bullets, are suggested by the under writers. Without this, it is pointed out, over cautious bankers mght so charge the system as to endanger the lives of the bank patrons.

Officers Make Good Haul In
 Raid Thursday Afternoon

Baffled for a time by strongly re- inforced stairway door, city detectives Thursday afternoon were delayed long enough to allow the escape of three men operating a still at APO Twentieth street, south, during a raid on the build ing. Under the cover of selling hair tonic, operators of this place have been active for some time, officers say, and the raid by four detectives followed.
 Although the men operating it es- capped through skylight, a still said to be the largest ever found here was in full operation and seized by the au- thorities. The capacity rated by au- thorities. The capacity is rated by au- 60-gallon barrels of mash and 9 gal Ions of distilled moonshine were found near it. The cost of the apparatus, of ficers estimate, is close to $4,000.
 Operators of the plant are known to the police, they believe, and arrests probably will be made soon.

SIOO, ,OOO INV GOLD IS DISCOVERED
 BEHIND PANEL

ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 13. Gold coin estimated at about $10O,OO0 has been found here in a secret compartment of an old house which was being orn down, accord ing to Adrian Leever, who is de- molishing the building to make way for erection of an apartment house. The money, in an iron box, was found 'on the second floor in a panel in the wall, according to the statement Of Leever.
 The house was built in 1860 by Jackson D. Knight, who at that time was president of the First National bank here. Knight and his wife have been dead for about 30 years. The house then was occupied by Knights daughter, Clara, who died some time ago.
 Papers found with the gold are said to have indicated the last time the secret panel was opened was in 1878. The money is being held by Leever pending claim by heirs of Knight.

PHELAN SAYS FEAR
 RULES DIPLOMACY
Assails 'Subservient' Policy Of
 Dealing With Japan

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Efforts to deal adequately with Japanese im- migration have failed, Former Senator Phelan of California today told the Senate immigration committee, because of the "subservient character" of American diplomacy, "actuated by fear mostly" in dealing with Japan.
 Appearing as spokesman for a Cali fornia delegation at the committees hearing on the Johnson immigration bill, Mir. Phelan declared that to give the Japanese the same recognition as is accorded Europeans under the quota provisions would be to discriminate" not against them but ''in favor of them as against the Chinese, the Hindoos, the Siamese and other proud and cultured people,"

PLAN EARLY VOTE
 | ON BONUS BILL
Ways And Means Body Puts $2,119,0O0,O0O Plan Up
 To House

WASHINGTON. March 13.-The new soldier bonus bill was ordered sent to the House today by the ways and means committee and plan was gen. orally agreed upon by the committee to push the measure forward next week under suspension of the rules which would permit vote in one day and prevent amendments. Three committed members oppose the bill-Representative Mill, New York; Treadway, Massa- chusetts, and Tilsop, Connecticut, all republicans-and Representative Old. field, democrat, Arkansas, reserved the right to object on the floor to omission from the bill of an option for full cash payments.
 The new measure, differing material ly from the bill passed last session and vetoed by President Harding, limits the bonus to paid-up 20-year endowment life insurance policies, but provides cash payments to veterans not entitled to more than $50. .,
 The same basis of adjusted compen- sation allowed in the old bill, $1 day for home service and $1.25 for over seas service, is provided. In figuring the face value of the policy, however, <C DCE CCuI IS duuCu tO tuC auJNctCu service credit and also the interest on the total amount compounded quarterly at per cent for 20 years.
 Loans after the first two years would be allowed on the policies up to 90 per cent of the paid-up value.
 Revised estimates showed the max imum total cost of the measure would be $2, ,O00,0 900 spread over a period of 20 years.
 Chairman Green declared that care. full inquiry had shown the cost could be met by the government from current revenue, without additional taxes. Chairman Madden of the appropriations committee had assured the committee, Mir. Green, said, that the necessary funds for meeting the annual payments could be met out of appropriations which would be available as result of the discontinuance within the next year or two of the vocational educa- tion and other war welfare programs of the government.
 To provide for costs of the measure, sinking fund of $110,O0O,O 900 for the first year is provided. This amount, Mir. Green said, would decrease annual ly until the payment in the nineteenth year would be $91 100000.
 In computing the adjusted service credit the first GO days of service would not be counted. All veterans, including officers up to and including the rank of captain in the army and marine corps and lieutenant in the navy, would be eligible for the bonus and alsG de- pendents of veterans who have died since the war.

CAMERON DENIES
 HE SOUGHT TRAIL
Arizona Senator Doesn't Hold
 Mine Claims, He Says

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Reply- ing to charges that he had sought to gain control of Bright Angel trail into the Grand Canyon by stalking out along it mining claims which he had refused to vacate on mandate of the supreme court, Senator Cameron, republican, Arizona, said in letter printed today in the congressional record:
 q reiterate that have not at the present time and have not had for many years, any interest in claims, title to which is being litigated by the government of the United States"
