UP BONUS
BILL IN SENATE
InSurgent Movement in DEM
oCratic RankS-Night
Sessions Planned

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Facing
a contest on a proposal for a cash
option in the insurance bonus bill as
a result of an insurgent movement
in Democratic ranks, the senate pre-
pared today to go into a night ses-
sion to hasten action on the measure
The cash option fight fiared ur
suddenly late yesterday when Sena-
tor Walsh, Massachusetts,, a Demo-
cratic member of the finance COM
mittee and author of the cash
amendment. having formally with
drawn it. Senator Copeland, Demo-
crat, New York, backed by Senators
Dill, Democrat, Washington, and
Norris, Republican, Nebraska, Of
fered an identical proposal.
The move came as surprise.
Democratic leaders had just an
nounced their intention of withhold
ing the proposal until after the en-
actment of the straight insurance
bill, planning then to move for its
adoption as an amendment to the
law.
The substitute bill advanced by
Senator Copeland would give the
veterans, in addition to all benefits
proposed in the pending measure.
an option of full cash payments in
stead of insurance. The pending
bill would allow cash payments to
veterans not entitled to more than
S50,. but would limit others to 20
year endowment insurance policies.
The substitute calls for issuance
of $1,500, 100000 additional bonds
under the second liberty loan act
with interest not to exceed four and
a half per cent instead of IA per
cent to meet the cash payments,
which would be made availa BILE
nine months after enactment of the
bill. The straight insurance meas
ure calls for an annual appropria-
ton of $100,000,000 for twenty
years.
Senator Sheppard, Democrat, of
Texas, opening the debate today,
assailed the insurance measure as
"a shadow bonus and declared 1t
constituted another chapter to the
perfidious drama enacted by the
Republican party on this subject"
He said he would support the bill
under protest.
1t was suggested by Senator Sim
mons, Democrat, North Carolina,
that the legion's support was due to
a belief that the insurance bill was
the best that could be enacted now,
and that an effort for cash would be
better advanced later. Senator Cope
land read a telegram from soldier
organization in Arkansas supporting
his cash plan.

GIRL BANDIT
HOME TODAY
Mrs. Cooney and Husband,
Confessed Robbers, Will
Be in N. Y. Late Today

NEW YORK, April 22-Their
spectacular career at an end, the wo-
man said to be Brooklyn's "Bobbed-
Hair Bandit" Mrs. Celie Cooney, and
her husband, Edward Cooney, Will
arrive in New York late today from
Jacksonville, Fla, where they were
arrested yesterday.
Inspector John d. Coughlin, head
of the New York detective bureau,
after he learned that the couple had
admitted their identity and waived
extradition.. announced that they
would first be taken to police head
quarters here and later to District
Attorney Dodd's Office in Brooklyn.
They may be arraigned in the police
court before night and probably
will be indicted by a Kings county
grand jury without delay.
Inspector Coughlin said the pair
would have to face charges of as
sault and robbery growing out of at
least fifteen hold-ups of chain stores.
The most serious charge, however,
covers .he shooting of Nathan MAJ
zio, a clerk in the Brooklyn office
of the National Biscuit Company.
Besides admitting that she is the
"bobbed hair bandit" Mrs. Cooney
has, according to the police here,
confessed that she and not her hus-
band fired the shot which wounded
MaZzio.
Police department doctors will be
on hand when the couple arrive in
case the wife, who only ten days ago
gave birth to a child which died,
needs medical aid after the long
railroad Journey.

CAR SMASHES SHOWCASE
OF SMITH STREET SHOP

When Michael A. Gabriel, of S25
East 109th street, New York City,
attempted to steer out of the way of
a truck on Smith street about 1880
today, his car swerved to the left
and before he could put 1t under
control crashed into the showcase of
the Novelty Waist Company, owned
by Joseph Katz, at 76 Smith street.
Gabriel was going toward the
ferry and was driving along the troll
ley tracks. A truck standing in the
road made it impossible to pass so
that when he made a sharp turn to
prevent skidding along the rails the
car darted to the left and struck the
showcase before he could straighten
the wheels.
Quite little excitement followed
the accident as Joseph Katz, owner
of the store, although Gabr:- / offer
ed to pay for the damage done,
made a mad rush to police head
quarters TO report the happening
and preferred charge of reckless
driving against Gabriel. The owner
of the car drove to police headquar-
'ters also where he was arraigned be-
fore Judge Pickersgill. The charge
of reckless driving was dismissed,
but on a charge of not having a
registration card Gabriel was fined

Light Vote in Newark

Light vote IN newark
NEWARK. April ga COM
paratively trivial vote was cast in
this. the Metropolis OF tire state,
and light vote reported during
| the morning from other sections
| in today's presidential primaries
Threatening skies early in the day
which before noon were pouring
out deluge in some sections made
the size of the state wide vote ap-
pear doubtful to politicians. They
also saw lack of interest on the
part of the public due to few con-
tests. and with no contest felt to be
decisive.
TRENTON, April 22.-The first
New Jersey gun in the Presidential
campaign in both major parties,
which will eliminate next Novem-
ber, is being fired ,vday, when vot-
ers throughout the state are going
to the polls to register their prefer
ences among the candidates for
delegates at large. district delegates
and their alternates in the Presi-
Dental preferential primaries.
The polls, uniformly throughout
New Jersey, opened at o'clock this
morning and will close at o'clock
tonight.
The election today is practically
only test vote to show which way
the sentiment in the state lies as
between the condicting elements
within both parties. The pledges of
the various delegates have only a
moral force and there is nothing to
prevent them from switching their
choices of candidates if the exigen-
cies of the situation at the National
Conventions demand a change.
Within the Republican ranks
there is the fight between the dele
gates pledged to Coolidge and those
sponsoring, Hiram johnson. There
Nis a. complete ticket in every con-
gressional district in the state as
well as complete delegate-at-
large and alternate. ticket. The
johnson faction may elect a few
delegates in northern districts. but
political observers here declare that
viewed generally, the Republican
primary election in New Jersey re-
duces only to a question as to how
large the Coolidge majority will be.
Almost all the Democratic can
d1dates are pledged to the candidacy
or Governor SilZer as New JERSEYS
Democratic "favorite son." II is
presumed the delegates will hold to
this pledge until they see how the
land lies and until the pretensions
OF some other candidate for the
nomination are made sufficiently
plain to justify switch.
Governor Silzer himself is among
the candidates for delegate at large
to the Democratic convention.
Action of the Anti-Saloon League
in calling for the defeat of Senator
Edge and for the election of former
Senator joseph S. Frelinghuysen.
also a candidate for delegate at
large. has been interpreted by Edge
supporters as the beginning of an
expected hight on the denomination
OF Senator Edge. in September. In
retaliation the "wets' are said to
be cutting Frelinghuysen who is ex-
pected to be one of Senator Edges
opponents for the September nomi-
nation.

APPLICATION
|SPR0POSED
Want Crossing at Grade Over
Tracks of Central Rail-
! road at Fayette Street
COMMITTEE IS TO ACT
Entire Board of Aldermen to
Confer with Different
Property Owners

Action was taken by the aldermen
at the meeting last night to make
Fayette street one of the. principal
thoroughfares of the city. Two
resolutions affecting this street were
passed by unanimous vote. One con-
cerning the making of an application
to the Public Utility Commission for
q crossing at grade over the tracks
of the Central railroad and the other
70 rthe purchase of the necessary
land to open the street from Clifford
street to Convery place. and the ap-
pointing of committee to carry on
the necessary negotiations with prop
erty owners.
Alderman-at-Large Richard J.
Calvin following the reading of the
second resolution had incorporated
therein the name of the committee
of the whole to carry on the neces-
eary negotiations with property
owners. Alderman John J. Clark de-
clared himself against this and hel I
that the city could communicate with
the property owners and thus save
nt31e time of the aldermen. The al
ermen voted, however, to accept the
Nfsolurlon as amended by Alderman
Calvin.
At recent meeting of the alder
men. the first steps were taken to-
wards paving part of Fayette street
In the western section. However,
Alderman Thomas Patten declared.
following the session of the aldermen
last night, that at his suggestion the
paving ordinance had been tabled
and the two resolutions adopted In
Its place.
By obtaining the land necessary
to cut through Fayette street to
Cleveland avenue and the placing CT
crossing across the tracks of the
Central railroad. the city will be
provided with new route to the ap-
proach to the new state bridge over
the Raritan river and the Staten Is
land ferry.
This thoroughfare, which has long
been advocated by the Evening
News as one of the necessities of the
city, will relieve the traffic conges-
tion in Smith street by providing a
direct route from the new bridge to
the ferry for the passage of through
traffic. The section east Of the rail-
road tracks has good paving and is
Real for the ferry traffic. 1t is the
0sstention of the aldermen to pave
the section west of the railroad after
the street has been extended and
otherwise improved.

CAN THE DYER BILL STOP
LYNCHING?
(From The New York World


tLynching," as Theodore Roosevelt
Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
states, "has been a stencil in the nos
trils Of all liberty-loying. law abiding
Americans" 1t is also true. as Col.
Roosevelt asserts, that there can be
no compromise on the Khan which
strikes at the root of Americanism. =
But when Mr. Roosevelt recon-
mends the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill
to Negro voters as remedy for both
evils he is wide of the mark. The
Dyer measure is political in origin
and would have only political effect
if passed When communities organ
ize to commit and to conceal the per-
petrators Of crimes, the Federal Gov
eminent is quite powerless as State
Government to bring about prosecu-
tons and convictions.
The best remedy for lynching and
for the Klan. as the figures for 1923
demonstrate, is Negro migration.
When Negro workmen began to leave
for the North in large numbers there
was a sudden decline in mob muir
ders in the South. Once a Negro re-
allies the possibilities Of this economic
weapon and uses it to the full, he
will exert a more powerful influence
against night-riding than would b
exerted by dozen Federal statutes
just what the Dyer Bill might b
worth as protection against lynch
ing is accurately gagged BY the impo
tence of the Fifteenth Amendment al
an article Of enfranchisement.
