BONUS RIDER
VETO THREAT
MADE BY I'D.
President Says He Will
Kill Any Bill Which
Carries Clause For
Cash Payment

WASHINGTON, May 2S. H7-
Administration leaders were fear
ful Saturday that President Roose-
welt had invited trouble for his
legislative program by saying he
would veto any measure 70 which
a cash bonus rider" Is attached.
With this flat declaration from
the White House, the presidents
advisers were apprehensive that OPP
ponents Of some Of the administers
ton bills would join forces with the
bonus bloc to attach a cash pay
ment rider.
VIII Veto All
The chief executive said he would
veto even the most vital administra-
ton bill If 1t was sent to him with
a cash payment rider. His COM
mens came at a time when the
bonus forces already were planning
a move to that kind.
Apparently seeking to make his
warning more emphatic, the presi-
dent asserted that he would veto
the social security bill, which he
regarded as the most vital before
congress, If it came to him with a
cash payment amendment.
Congressional leaders Of the drive
for the Patman inflationary bonus
bill were cycling the security meas
ure as a likely vehicle for the bill
Which, they failed to get through
as separate legislation. They were
, not agreed, however, on plans and
were still studying the various stra-
tegic moves they might make.
While the bonus forces in con-
gress were canvaSsing their situa-
ton Saturday, heads Of the veterans
organizations were attempting 10
head off threats Of a new bonus
march" on the capital similar to the
oHV IN 1882 which ended in bloody
Strict orders were dispatched to
regional commanders TO stamp out
any attempt TO organize such q
march. The veterans chieftains
expressed the view that such a
demonstration would hurt, rather
than help their cause. recalling vi
wildly the trouncing the cash bonus
bill Ut when the bonus marchers
were milling about the capitol three
yea ago.
Old Leader Busy
From the west coast came dis
pat-hes saying that Royal Robert
son, who led a California contin-
gent Of the 1892 bonus army" had
announced that nearly 100 veterans
had enrolled for a new march
within an hour after recruiting
opened in Los Angeles.
l. n, however, the leaders said
that the question whether the
mar would start would be left to

Form Independent
Basket Ball Quint
Organize On Business Basis To
Purchase Uniforms and To
Insure Good Season

The Independents, in an effort to
organize a basketball team apart
from school athletics, have gone
on a business basis this season to
raise funds for uniforms, and to
insure somewhat steady income
throughout the season. The boys
will soon be selling season tickets
which will entitle the bearer to
witness at least six snappy games,
excluding the ones which they will
play as double headers with the
nigh school.
The Independents under the dir
ection of the Leisure Time pro-
gram had it tough financially last
year with no assurance of a crowd,
but they played a brand of ball
that sent many an opponent home
with crushed hopes. Last years
quint with Vic Sieben, Bill Cook,
Korf, Pat Dubois, and jim O'Gara
will be strengthened by some Of
the last seasons high school bask-
eteers. Brown, Scanlon and Johnny
Dubois, with Orville Carpenter,
will probably be out for the first
practice which will begin about
the first of the month. The initial
contest will start with the gun near
the end of the holiday month, and
from then on the boys promise to
give a brand of basketball that will
take your breath.

Held at Parish House Tues
day Evening, Nov. IL

Tuesday evening, November 18th,
the members and friends of the
Church of the Good Samaritan met
in the Parish House at a TOO o.
clock dinner to renew the pledges
to balance the budget for the next

tinue without interruption.
The absence of the Rt. Rev. B.

Street
Decorations
For Yuletide
Special Meeting of Commun-
ity Club Held Last
Thursday Evening
WILL SHOW GRID MOVIE
DR.. Dubois Asked Support
For Country Club
Course

A special meeting of the Com
munity club was held in the club
rooms last Thursday evening to
make arrangements for the decor
alton of the streets for the YuIe-
tide, end to care for other import
ant matters of business.
Mrs. c. F. Botz, as a representa-
tive Of the Gopher Prairie HI Club,
asked that the club be allowed to
use the club rooms during the win
ter months. They have been meet
ing at the homes of the members
during the summer, and she stated
that it Is impossible to do that dur
ing the winter. 1t was decided to
allow them to use the club rooms
during the winter months without
cost.
President Scott appointed Art
McDermond, w. Hershiser, H. d.
Hoaglund and Walter Gritzmacher
as members of the committee on
street decorations for the holidays.
Councilman Jos. Miller advised the
club members that the City Council
would be unable to contribute to
the funds this year, owing to the
increasing demand for poor relief.
Hence, 1t will be necessary to raise
the entire amount for decorative
purposes among the business men.
It was decided that the decorations
must be up by Thanksgiving day,
and the committee commenced
work on the project the next day.
DR.. ]. F. Dubois was called upon
to talk on the matter of maintain
ing the Country Club golf course,
which owing to poor play the past
season has run in the red. He stat
ed that a golf course is one of a
city's greatest assets, and the mat
ter of maintenance is of import
ance to the entire population. He
cited various ways of financing a
golf course and stated that the
business men of the city will be
approached before spring with the
idea of ascertaining as to whether
or not they wish to keep the course
in operation. In the meantime he
asked that they give this problem
serious thought. During the past
summer many SOlI entHuSidSlS
from the surrounding villages and
cities have taken advantage of
playing on the local course. They
claim it is one of the best they have
played on. Local cooperation Is all
that is needed to keep the course
intact, and like all worthwhile in
situations, this deserves the COM
munity's support.
President Scott announced that
on December 18th, the moving pic
lures of last years Minnesota
football games, combined with
some that have been played this
year, will be shown in the Junior
High auditorium The admission to
this splendid event will be 10c. De-
tailed announcement of this movie
will be made in later issues of the
Herald.
J. B. Schoenhoff, of the member
ship committee, made a plea to
those who have not paid their dues
for the current year to do so as
soon as possible, as the club needs
funds to continue its work and to
finance the maintenance Of the
club rooms.

Local Man Vas
Victim, Of alleged
Diamond SwindIe
Lent $500 On Piece of Glass
Which He Thought Was
Splendid Diamond

Justice Is Sure-even though
sometimes Slows the verdict OF
Mike Wernig, Of this city, who in
August 1884 was the victim of a
clever swindle, so he claims. At
that time a man giving the name
of William Nuser, formerly of St
Cloud, wished to borrow $500 on a
diamond and approached Mike
with the proposition.
Mike, usually quite careful, sug-
gested that the stone be taken to
a reliable jeweler and tested, to
which the man agreed. The diam.
ond, in question, was found to be
a very fine stone, worth consider
ably more than the requested loan
He lent the man the $500 and kept
the diamond as security.
About two months later, having
heard nothing in regard to pay
ment of the loan, Mr.. Wernig be-
came suspicious, and took the dia-
mond and had it retested, only to
find that he had purchased a piece
of glass. Mike claims the diamond
was switched after the first test
and he was left holding the sack,
with an expensive piece of glass in
his possession and out $500.
About the first of the year Mike
swore out a warrant for the fell
lows arrest, and Sheriff McIntee,
of st. Cloud, commenced prelimin-
airy efforts in the apprehension of
the alleged diamond vender.
Last week, William Nuser, men,
toned in the warrant for the al
legged sale Of phoney diamond,
was apprehended by Fargo police
and was returned to st. Cloud Sat-
urday and lodged in the county
jail pending hearing on the
charge of grand larceny.
The trick of borrowing money on
diamonds Is an old one and many
are those who lent money on
stones, only to find that they had
purchased a piece of glass.

languages, which branch off into

at Chicago, Ill. He was u years
old. His death was caused by an
gina pectoris. Rev. William Sunday
was known the nation over. His
picturesque baseball Technology

term him "the man who saved a
million souls" While many minis

suddenly.
