New Clues Found in
Mysterious Staying

South Bend. Ind. Feb. 24.-R)
The finding Of bundle Of women's
clothes in an automobile driven by
"E. w. Rogers of Oregon at Indian
apolis has revived the police theory
that the torso Of woman found in
the St. Joseph river near here may
be that of Mrs. Alice Van Dusen.
A description Of Ernest Rogers,
former employe of st. Mary's acade-
my near which place the body was
found, and who disappeared stimuli
taneously with Mrs. Van Dusen last
December, was sent to Indianapolis
police who reported they had "E. w.
Rogers" under surveillance. Ernest
Rogers was a boarder at the Van Du-
sen home. Although relatives pre-
viously reported having seen Mrs.
Van Dusen since the torso was found,
they have been urging police to locate
Rogers. Police have never been able
to locate the woman since she dis
appeared.

SENATE PASSES
BANKING BILLS
AFTER DEBATE
Provide For Increasing Sur.
plus Funds and Limiting
Amounts of Loans

Two house banking measures, one
that would increase the surplus funds
of banks and another that would
limit loans that may be made to one
person or firm, were passed by the
North Dakota senate Wednesday over
stiff opposition and sent to the rov-
ernor for his decision.
The two bank measures were in
cluded in dozen house bills passed
by the senate as it cleaned its cal
endar of senate bills and waded in
to mass of house bills that must
be disposed Of in its next eight work
ing days.
The only other fight of the day
came over a house bill that would al
low families Of physicians to receive
railroad passes in the state, and be-
fore the bill was passed it was
amended and amended until it re-
peals the law limiting the rights OF
railroads to limit passes. However
it will probably be rcvamped and
reconsidercd
Party Lines Broken
Party lines were partially dis
rupted over the bank bills. The
first. which provides that at least
so per cent Of "A banks dividends
shall be turned into its surplus fund
until the surplus equals the capita
stock, was assailed by Senator G
Patterson, Rcnville county, as
"camouflage legislation on the
grounds that it provides that the
surplus shall be tax exempt until the
surplus equals the capital stock.
He offered an amendment requir.
ing that the surplus must be invested
in government or state bonds, but
it was defeated, 2S to 20
Patterson was supported by Sena
tor {. w. Fine, Benson county, wht
cOntended that the bill was not
drawn ''in good faith" and did not
live up to IA paragraph stating thai
it is ''to strengthen the banking as
sociations of the state and safe
guard the depositors." His amend
ment to eliminate the provision
exempting the surplus from taxation
was defeated.
Senator II. j. Rusch, Cass county
also objected to the tax cXemptio,
clause, but Senator w. ID. Lynch

WINSTON URGES
PRESIDENT TO

DisapprOval Would Have Sc
riOus Effect, Says Winston
and Newell Executive

+. G. Winston, chairman of the
board of directors of the Winston
and Newell company, has sent out
copies of his wires and letter en-
dorsing the McNary Haugen bill and
J. c. Oberg, manager of the Bismarck
branch house. was in receipt Of
these today.
Mr.. Winston's wire to President
Coolidge is as follows:
"Pardon me for suggesting for
your considerations is my
humble opinion farm lands in
this territory from the Missis-
sippi river to the Rocky Noun
tains will cease to have a mar,
ket, and their values will be de-
preciated from 10 to Is per cent.
This in my opinion will be the
effect should you disapprove the
McNary- Haugen bill"
His letter to the branch houses of
the Winston and Newell company is
as follows:
"As managers Of the branch houses
Of the Winston and Newell company
| am enclosing you herewith copy
of telegram which sent to the
President Feb. 2l.
"The effect of disapproval Of the
McNary- -Haugen bill on the value Of
farm lands has not been touched up
on so far as the newspapers are
concerned, while the other phases of
the measure have been pretty thor
oughly discussed, pro and con. for
his consideration.
Situation Would Be Serious
81, therefore, felt that the very
serious situation referred to as prob
ably resulting, should his action be
unfavorable. might bring to his
mind q phase which seems to have
escaped the consideration Of the
average citizen, and l, therefore, de-
cided to present to him the facts as

/ was entirely sympathetic with the
efforts that the farmers in the
Northwest have made to get them
selves more nearly on an equality
with the other interests involved in
the operation of our economic laws.
The farmer is undoubtedly occupying
the lowest position, economically, of
any large class Of society and is en-
titled to be given first consideration,
rather than the least consideration
Every other class Of society is pars
ticipating in the prosperity Of this
country to = much greater degree
than the farmer, and all fair minded
men, I think. will agree with this
statement"

FIRE SWEEPS
MANILA DOING
MUCH DAMAGE
Nine Business Houses on
Principal Downtown Street
of City Are Destroyed

Manila, Feb. a. IN --Investiga-
tion was begun here tonight to deter
mine the cause of disastrous fire
which swept the heart of the Manila
business district today, causing a
loss estimated at anywhere between
81 100000 and $2,OOO,OOO.
Nine business houses in the Gale
Escolta, one Of the principal down
town streets bordering on the Pasig
river, were able to bring the con-
flagration under control.
This is the second bad fire to hit
Manila in six weeks. January 10 u
blaze wiped out more than 200 homes
in the Tondo district, a short distance
north of the Binondo Area. The Ton
do district is the home Of the labor
ing classes and the most oriental spot
in Manila. About 1000 were made
homeless by the Tondo fire.

Only About a Week Away
FIGHT MAY BE RENEWED

Washington, Feb. 24.--LP)--Facinf
adjournment week from tomorrow
and with the filibuster germ tha
practically killed Boulder Canyon
Dam legislation for the present SEES
sion spreading to other controversial
measures, congress entered today
upon program to clean up as many
bills as it can but with little pros
pect Of passing much additional ma
jor legislation.
Although the Swing j Johnson bill
to dam the Colorado river at
Boulder Canyon was due to come up
again today in the senate at 2 p. M,
after it's sponsors were blocked in
their efforts to bring it to a vote by
three. senator filibuster during a
3O-hour session. there appeared lit
tie prospect of action since Republi-
can leaders had planned to displacc
it two hours later with the alien
property return measure.
Bill Has Little Chance
Once laid aside in the senate, the
bill will stand virtually no chance of
a vote in either house at this ses-
sion, since the house steering COM
mittec has decided that it will not
be taken up in the house unless act
cd upon in the senate.
Meanwhile, under an agreement
reached at another night session, the
senate had planned to devote it's first
two hours today to consideration of
other subjects.
Senator Johnson. Republican, Cali
fornia. who has led vigorous fight
for the Boulder Canyon bill, had
practically abandoned his hope for a
vote when the long senate session
was brought to halt early last
night on motion of Senator Curtis,
Republican leader, for an executive
session, Is minutes before the time
which previously had been fixed for
a recess. After two and half hours
of recess, the senate went back at
s p. m. for it's second successive
night session, but considered only
uncontested bills in accordance with
a prior agreement.
Senators Ashurst and Cameron OF
Arizona, and Phipps Of Colorado
who had conducted one Of the most
prolonged filibusters in the history
of the senate in opposing the dam
bill, had promised a renewal of the
fight when the measure came uI
again today.
