Soldier Bonus Veto
Gains Senate Votes

Washington, d. C.-Administratio
leaders are becoming more confident
as reports of reversal of senators on
the bonus are reported that the presi-
dent will be sustained in his veto Of
the bonus bill.
Reports are that Senator Watson Of
Indiana, who voted for the BILL will
vote with the president, provided the
vote in the senate on the veto comes
before he must leave for his home to
attend the republican state conven-
ton.
The feeling exists among the anti
bonus leaders that there will be
enough reversals to sustain the presi-
dent, provided the vote can be post
poned for week.
The situation, it is conceded, is
much in doubt by reason of the abb
sence of Senators La Toilette, Nc
Cormick, Lenroot and Couzens, and
perhaps Watson. Their absence, and
without pair, it has been figured out,
would be in favor Of sustaining the
bonus, but there is a chance that
some of them or all may obtain pairs,
There appears to be every reason
to believe that the president will be-
compelled to veto the tax bill, now in
conference, if the bonus bill becomes
a law over his veto.

C. RE:MUS BARES
BIG BOOZE GRAFT
Tells Brookhart Committee
He Paid About 100000
to Jess Smith.

Washington.-Ge Remus or ONO,
liquor convict at the Atlanta federal
penitentiary, told the Brookhart COM
mittee that he had paid between $25O,-
600 and 100000 to the late Jess w.
Smith in order to keep out of prison.
He said that he could not tell Wnetner
he had been double-crossed or not, be-
cause ''the dead don't tell.
Remus was brought before the com
mittee under guard. He told Of how
he had bought a string of distilleries in
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky after the
Volstead act was passed. and had ar
ranged by "gentleman's agreement
with Jess Smith to get withdrawal per-
mits.
He said that he had been allowed I'M
munity from prosecution for year
and half while he distributed some
100000 or 100000 gallons Of liquor I'M
der the pretense of selling it for me-
dicinal purposes. The witness could
not recall just how much money he
had paid Smith, who at that time was
Attorney General Daugherty's buffer.
He estimated, however, that it was be
tween $25O,OOO and 100000. He said
he never asked Smith whether he had
split the money with Daugherty. When
he was asked why he gave the money
to Smith, Remus replied:
ITO keep out Of the penitentiary-to
keep the boys QUITO get Smith to use
his influence with the attorney general.
Even after / was convicted in Ohio
Smith told me / would never see the
penitentiary.
Smith told me that the general-thc
attorney general-said there would be
no putting away Of Remns and his
men,"
Remus said that a plan had been
evolved by which he was to receive
clemency, if the case went to the Su-
preme court without gaining his re-
lease
Harry Daugherty was going to see
that I got my pardon-Smith told me
that" Remus declared. Smith killed
himself year ago this month without
making his promise good"

COOLIDGE vETOES
WORLD WAR BONUS
u. S. Principles Oppose and
Country Can't Afford
1t, He Says.

Washington. - Asserting that no
moral justification exists for the SOL
der bonus, that the country cannot at
ford it, that American principles are
opposed to it, and that the veterans as
a whole do not want it, President
Coolidge sent the bill back to congress
with his disapproval.
The President attacked the measure
both on economic lines and on priTl-
ciple. President Harding, who vetoed
the former bill, put his opposition prac-
tically entirely on the effect the meas
ure would have on the treasury. In
deed he said he would approve PEN
sion bill If it carried in it the taxes
necessary to provide the revenue.
The President asserts that 1--WE owe
no bonus to the able-bodied veterans
of the World war;" that the FIRST duty
of every citizen is to the nation" and
that a gratuity for performing this
first duty is unjustified," from any
standpoint.
1.-THE gratitude of the nation to these
veterans cannot be expressed In dol
lars and CENTS" Mr.. Coolidge contin-
ues. mo way exists by which we can
either equalize the burdens or give
adequate financial reward to those who
served the nation in both civil and mil
itary capacities in time of war. The
respect and honor of their country will
rightfully be theirs forevermore.
''But patriotism can neither be
bought nor sold. 1t is not for hire and
salary. 1t is not material, but spir-
itual. 1t is one Of the finest and high
est of human virtues. To attempt to
pay money for it is to offer it an I'M
worthy indignity which cheapens, de-
bases and destroys 1t.
Those who would really honor pa
triotism should strive to match it with
an equal courage, with an equal fidel-
ity to the welfare of their country and
an equal faith in the cause of right
eousness."

U. s. ENVOY TO
JAPAN RESIGNS
Action of Congress on Lnlnli-
grafton Bill Believed
to Be Reason.

Ambassador Cyrus Woods
has resigned his post as ambassador
to Japan and will return to the United
States, sailing on the President Madi-
son for Seattle on May 20.
Ambassador Woods gives as the
reason for his resignation the precar-
ious health of his aged mother-in-law,
Mrs Marchand, who is 81 years old,
and was injured in the earthquake last
September, necessitating an opera
ton, and whose health has become in
creasingly worse since then.
The ambassador says he did not
wish to leave his post as long as the
immigration problem was pending,
but now that exclusion seems def
nitely fixed he believes he can be Of
greater service at home in bringing
about a better understanding of the
Japanese viewpoint in America than
he could by remaining longer III Toxic.
1t has been apparent to those who
have been in daily contact with the
ambassador during the period of crisis
bill that he has been greatly discour-
aged of late by the action of the Amer
lean congress, which he feels will
leave its imprint on the otherwise un-
usually friendly relations between the
United States and Japan
The ambassador had never believed
that the senate would pass the ex-
clusion clause. During his visit to-
the United States following the earth
quake he had discussed the immigra-
ton problem with Secretary Hughes
and numerous senators and he re-
turned to Japan confident the Amer
lean congress would take no action
which would offend Japanese sensi-
bilities.
Since the immigration question en-
tered into state of crisis on the heels
of Ambassador Hanihara's note of pro-
test, Ambassador Woods has been in
constant communication with the state
department advising the American
government of the Japanese viewpoint
and counseling the government to act
in moderate way to avoid endanger-
ing the relations between the two
countries and neutralizing the effect
of the Washington conference.
The ambassador feels the state de-
partment has disregarded his recon-
mendations.
