BURSUM OFFERS
NEWB|LLFOR
BONUS
Demands Prompt Action or
Measure to Equalize Vet
and Civil Pay.

Overriding the plan of Admins
tration leaders to jam through tax
reduction legislation before a bonus
bill, the bonus fight formally was
launched in the Senate today.
Senator Bursum Repo of New
Mexico, one of the members Of the
so-called regular camp in the Senate.
introduced brand new bonus bill
which would cost the Government
approximately 81 AGO. 100000 over a
period of twenty years. This is
about two DILLON dollars less than
the, estimated cost of the bill vetoed
by the late President Harding.
Fundamentally, Bursum's bill is
designed to adjust compensation OF
veterans with payments to those
who stayed at home to work in the
industries.
Refunds to Be Made.
Four chief items are to be paid
the veterans:
A refund of enforced allotments
ranging from S. to SIS month de.
Quoted from the pay of the soldier,
applying to about so per cent of the
veterans.
A refund amounting to So a
month on account of premiums paid
for insurance while in the service
applying to practically all of the
Indemnity for the veteran on &C
count of losses by the purchases OF
subscriptions of Liberty bonds while
in the service at the rate Of SIC
for each $50, not exceeding $50 in
the aggregate.
$50 Per Month Bonus.
Payment to the veteran of $40 a
month for each month in the service
to equalize similar payments made
to civil employees earning less than
$500 during the war.
The payments would be made in
cash over q period of four years,
one fourth Of the number of veterans
to be paid each year in full, four
and one.half per cent interest to he
paid on all deferred payments.
The veteran further would De
given the option of taking cash or
paid up life insurance on the basis
of S400 of insurance for each $1OC
of cash due the soldier, payable al
death, or surrendered aIter twenty
years for cash value, based upon
the annual premiums, plus four pei
cent American mortality actuarN
tables. The Government would be
required to pay the annual pre-
miums and to invest such premiums
In approved securities.
Figures Cost Low.
Bursum estimated that Is pei
cent of the veterans would choos'
life insurance policies and upon this
basis the cost to the Government
would be approximately $125, ,OOl
each year for the first four years and
thereafter approximately $4,000. OO'
annually for the succeeding slxteef
years.
Bursum declared he would demand
early action by the Senate. TIL
bill was referred to the Financ
Committee.

THREE MEN TRAPPED
BY MOHAWK ICE JAM

SCHENECTADY, n. Y, Jan. II.
Three men were trapped by
water here when an ice gorge at
the Scotia Schenectady Bridge
caused the Mohawk River to rise
rapidly twelve feet above normal.
Ernest johnson and Joseph Mar
uolais, employees of the General
Electric Company, were at work on
top of radio pole on the river
flats near the plant when the gorge
gave way. Waiting for large cakes
to come along, they leaped on them
and were carried on. Marsolais
piloted his ice cake to shore after
twenty minutes, but johnson was
carried out in midstream and was
rescued with difficulty by men in
a canoe. Several other men were
rescued at nearby points.

II Stribling Wins Monday,
II will Do Lieht-heavy
Division Good.
BOTH DEFENSIVE PUCS
Neither Reputed as, Punch
er and Bout Not Likely
to Be Spectacle.
BY SPARROW M'GANN.


Copyright. 1924, by Consol. Press Ass'n.
New York, March 29.--If young
strblins defeats Mike McTigue in
their 12-round bout, in Newark on
Monday night. the light-heavyweight
situation should be helped a lot. II
McTigue wins. 1t will prove TO have
been simply zone of those fights"
Stribling can win in two ways-in
an official way by knocking our Mi
chael. and unofficially by receiving a
newspaper decision. II the palm were
awarded to him by the scribes it
wouldn't mean anything so far as Nc
Tigue's world title is concerned. The
only way William Lawrence can grab
this is to send McTigue TO dreamland.
The chances of this happening are
very remote. Mikes long law is q
pretty elusive target and when il is
smitten it weathers the shock like q
section OF concrete. And again.
Stribling certainly should be able to
stand anything that McTiaue sends
in. Mike has never won fame as
devastating hitter either. In fact. the
long suit of both men in the past has
been defensive fighting. II this Civ
erns the attitude of both Monday
night. this much-tnlked-of bout will
hardly be worth the trip from New
York TO Jersey to see, let alone the
long distance that some are travelling
in order to sit in.
McTigne is hardly a light-heavy-
weight and Stribling is. That is an
other reason why the class would be
helped were the Dixie boy TO knock
Mike for row of peat hummocks.
The Irislman Monday night will en-
ter the ring but a polnd or two over
the middleweisht limit. Anyway. he
Is pretty much Of joke as worlds
champion, because everyone knows
what wouh happen to him were he
to meet such a fighter as Tommy Glib
hons, real INTERCHANGEABLE. who
In fact. few would hand Mike much
Of a chance against Gene Tunney, Jim
Delaney or Harry Greb.
So a decisive victory for McTigue
over Stribling in Newark would not
helm Mike so much as it would hurt
William Lawrence. On the other
hand. were the Southerner TO give
McTigue q good lambasting. even il
he didn't knock him out. he would
earn a lot of credit and would be in
line for some nice bouts against such
men as .Ad Stone, Tunney, Carpenter
and others.
Can't Fight in New York.
The one difficulty about Stribling IS
that even IL he does win his age will
Keep him out Of ANYTHING but sig
round bouts in New York for at least
two years--unless the boxing authori-
ties can be prevailed upon to make an
exception in the youngsters case. This
Is doubtful. for at least year any
way. and any feats William Lawrence
accomnlishes in this vicinity in the
immediate future will have to take
place the other side of the Hudson
river. ....
| 1t is curious that the greatest in
terest in the light.heavy division lies
not with the. doines of the worlds
champion. McTigue. nor with the
American champion Tunney, but. with
Tommy Gibbons.
