ROOSEVELT TO
VETO BONUS IN
Strong TERMS
Executive Not Concerned by
Political Aspects, Early
Tells Press.

By UHited Press
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt definitely will veto
the Patman bonus bill and he will
do it in the strongest possible terms.
The Presidents secretary, Steph-
en- T. Early, resolved all possible
doubts as to Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude
with an official announcement this
afternoon saying:
HE will veto the bonus bill and
his message on it will present as
fOrceful an argument as he can on
the subject"
The Presidents determination to
veto the bill long mad been vel,
known. But there had been recent
rumors that the veto might be rou-
tine and that at heart he would not
care if the veto we're overridden.
Reports we're circulated that some
Administration leaders were passing
the word that the issue could be
played both ways to the party's adj
vantage-Mr. Roosevelt winning
conservative support with a veto
anu OCAllONl dOAO oClldtOLp CO1A
bonus supporters votes by over
riding him.
Answering such reports as those,
Mr. Early said:
II will say as definitely as 1 can
that the President is not interested
in the bonus question because of
political reasons or political expe-
diency."
The Presidents message will make
the strongest possible argument for
sustaining of the veto, he indicated.
Barring shifts, the Patman bill
opponents appear to have the votes
needed to prevent enactment of the
measure over Mr.. Roosevelt's OBJ
jections. Indications point to a
showdown roll call next week.
Conceding probability of defeat,
bonus forces are planning to attach
another bonus bill to one of the
routine appropriation measures
which must be passed before Con-
gress adjourns to provide funds for
government activities.

Poll Shows Preponderant
Majority in Favor of
Long Extension.
Copyright. 1885. by United PressI


WASHINGTON, May 16.-A poll
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, considering NRA extension,
today showed a preponderant ma
jority in favor of two-year act.
Democratic leaders claimed also
that a majority of the House MEM
berShip favors two-year extension,
as asked by President Roosevelt and
in contrast with the Senate's stand
for only nine months from June Is.
r This vital difference increased the
possibility of deadlock between
the House and Senate. such as
caused a long delay of the $4880,-
100000 work-relief bill. Opposition
to two-year extension was adamant
in the Senate.
While some members of the COM
mittee were not equiyocal in their
stand, a majority, the poll showed,
was definitely in favor of two-year
extension. They indicated they
would fight to the end to prevent
final congressional acceptance of
the Senate measure.

The reversal of the conviction

the trial judge and the Marion

ing against Julian j. Kiser. Sol and
Ferd Meyer, as well as the Cohn

1t is conceded by attorneys of

ture that has little hope of being
granted by the high court.

The Supreme Court has been 20

While the Attorney Generals Of

Ger told The Indianapolis Times
that the "healthieSt defendant in

Rests on Affidavits
With dismissal of all charges
against Mr.. Cohn, Mr.. Kiser, and
the two Meyers a mere formality,
the prosecution of officials of de-
funct banks rests now wholly on
affidavits filed by Prosecutor Spen-
Ger against Sol S. Meyer. president
OF the defunct Meyer-Kiser Bank;
Scott r. Brewer. president of the
defunct State Savings and Trust
Company; Mark V. Rinehart, vice
president of the wrecked Washing
ton Bank and Trust Company, ana
Dick Miller, president Of the closed
City Trust Co.
Both Mr.. Brewer and Mr.. Miller
have been i'll. 1t is believed that the
prosecutor will elect to try either
Mr.. Never or Mr. Rinehart on the
affidavits which charge embezzle-
ment of deposits.
Mr.. Meyer. who resides in Florida.
will return to this city without the
necessity Of issuing extradition pa
pers, his attorneys have told the
prosecutors Office.
I believe We have a stronger case
in the affidavitS which charge en-
bezzlement Of deposits than We had
in the indictments in the Cohn
trial." the prosecutor said.
Trial Comes to Halt
He pointed out that both the
Cohn and Kiser indictments charged
embezzlement of funds Of the bank
and not the actual funds of de-
positors through the acceptance Of
deposits with the alleged knowledge
that the banks were inSolvent.
Reversal of the Cohn case ended
the selection of jury in the trial
Of Mr.. KiSer in Criminal Court. The
case was unset by Special Judge
Alex Cavins and continued until the
attorney general reached a decision
on a rehearing petition.
Cases against the Meyers also
we're unset with the exception Of
the case pending on affidavit against
Sol s. Meyer. charged with en-
bezzlement of deposits.
