VETERANS LOAN BILL CAUSE OF
 GENERAL BREAK
P o w erful Coalition Sup- ports Measure, Over-
 whelmipg Majority
ONLY ONE CHANGE IN ISSUE CONTEMPLATED
Deduction of Interest May Be Sought-Hoover's
 Forces Split

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. l9.-An overwhelming major ity in the Senate is ready to rush the Veterans Loan Bill to President Hoover.
 Administration supporters ire still in a r0ut from the powerful coalition supporting the measure.
 Republican leaders predict a Presidential veto.
 But one change is 'cOntem- plated by the Senate in the bill as it was passed by the House and that is a deduction of interest from AZ to 4 per cent.
 Proponents are not willing to even risk that unless as- surance is received from the House leaders it will be acc cepted without sending it to conference.
 Next Saturday the ten-day period before adjournment starts during which President Hoover could kill the measure by refusing to sign it before Congress ends its work on March 4.
 The Administrations rout is the most inclusive since President Hoover took office. Speaker L0ngworth and Sen- ate Leader Watson have join- ed the supporters of the bill.

CAPONE MAKES
 HIS REPLY TO
 REGENT CHARGE
Declares Gen. Butler Has Wrong View Concern
 ing American Born

MIAMI, Florida, Feb. 19.-Al Ca- pone, Chicago gangster, is wrathful because Major General Smedley D. Butler recently said he would be deported to Italy when public opin- ion was aroused.
 Capone said: "The General is lll-informed. He should know the laws of this country protects Am erican-born citizens and would pre- vent deportation of anyone like my- self, born in this country.
 Gen. Butler says I am a crim- inal. The only charge against me is being vagrant. I have been feeding between 2,500 and 5000 persons daily in Chicago for the last six months. If that is an act of vagrant I want to be classed as one. I will leave the American people to judge between the Gen. eral and myself. I am satisfied to abide by the verdict of the people,"

American Markets in South America Are Not

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 19.- The South American trip of the Prince of Wales and his 'kid brother" Prince George, may cause some -ninine hearts to palpitate out Uncle Sam's position as the big brother busir ess of Latin Amer ica seems secure.
 Foreign trade experts of the De- partment of Commerce, do not believe American markets in South America will be jeopardized by the British business-boosting tour of the two princes.
 It may sell few more high priced automobiles and English sport togs, they say. but business in the main probably will continue to go to whatever country can give the best service.
 Foreign Efforts
 Foreign efforts to capture trade now going to the United States de- pend on the ability of foreign pro- ducers to cope successfully with specialized American products, says George J. Elder, chief of the Latin American section of the Depart ment of Commerce.
 Chief among these are automo- piles, agricultural and industrial machinery, and motion pictures.

tradition.
 A formal request for the extra dition of Bert Mcdonald, arrested yesterday in Portland, accused of merdering c. P. Marshall near Ketchikan last October, has been prepared and will be forwarded to Oregon for presentation to the Governor of that state, it was an- nounced today by United States Attorney H. D. Stabler.
 As the charge filed at Ketchikan and warrant on which he was ar- rested specifics first degree murder, Mcdonald is being detained in Port land without bail.
 Witness at Ketchikan
 It became known today that Kenneth L. Grovo, the witness upon whose testimony the charge against Mcdonald and his alleged accomplice Lloyd Close, of Ketchi- kan, was filed, reached Ketchikan last Monday. He worked aboard small boat with Mcdonald and is said to have overheard certain conversations between the two sus- poets now held which are declared to be highly damaging.
 While the nature of the convcr- sations is not being revealed by the United States Attorneys office, he feels that the testimony of Gro- vo will go a long way toward ob- taining conviction. MT. Stab- Ter today reiterated his statement, made yesterday, that he is certain that Mcdonald and Close are guil- ty.
 Expect Early Trial
 No official announcement to that effect has been made. but locally it is believed the Government is in a position to hasten a trial of the men. The present term of the District Court is about ended and Judge Harding is scheduled to go to Ketchikan in short time.
 It is believed he will summon a special grand jury in order that the United States Attorney can lay it's case before it and ask for in- dictments after which trial will be expedited as much as possible.

dramatic instinct which had played
so large a part in his political sue

He had arranged the interviews.
He had seen to it that Norma said
just enough and not too much that
first day. Flynn had come out with
a denunciation of the system that
permitted such evils.
Two newspapers treated the story
cautiously the first day. Two others
spread it across their front pages.
on the following day Norma Trav-

1t was learned that she was Mark
Ira "ers' former wife.
Photographs filed away since the

panic-stricken a moment later and

Thousands of creatures, large and small. fol-

While at their rear hundreds of savage saber-
toothed tigers leaped upon them dragging
down the weaker and battling with the strong

Slowly the tigers cut into the herd from both
sides in an effort to encircle a portion of it.
At last they were successful and then the
saber-tooths turned upon these, closing in and
drawing tighter their savage band. In twos
and threes they leaped upon their prey until
the sole remaining creature within their circle
was a gigantic bull mammoth. Trumpeting,
he stood at bay, magnificent picture of pri-

Though he fought so splenddly, the end was

the savage beasts fought among themselves

there was flesh to more than surfeit them
