Washington, April 30.-Enact- ment of a bonus bill will be well comed by New Deal liberals for reason that the veterans would never guess.
 They hope that the bonus will give them their lOng-sOught opening for n sweeping revision of the tax laws.
 Young Henry Morgenthau paved the way for this in his appearance before the Senate Finance committee. He warned that if the bonus were passed, higher taxes would be necessary.
 This will play right into left wing hahnds. Once tax legisla- ton becomes an order of busi- ness, they are in a position to bring out the far-reaching pro. gram they have been trying for months to persuade the president to back.
 Furthermore, If the liberals once get their program on the floors of congress, many mem bers who secretly oppose drastic overhauling of the tax system won't dare vote against 1t in the open.
 To do so would be political dy- namite In next years elections.
 That is why such senators as Pat Harrison, Joe Robinson and Josiah Bailey pooh-pooh Nor genthau's argument, airily insist without new taxes.
 The undercOver mancuvering over this should be important and amusing.
 DIRTY FARMER
 When the statue of Hannibal Hamlin, vice president under Lincoln, is unveiled in the capi- tol, as it will De shortly, the ceremonies will be under the supervision of Maine's rustic democratic in the house, Simon Hamlin, cousin of Hannibal.
 Simon attracts considerable at- tention on the part of visitors to the gallery.
 "WhO is the big man who looks like dirt farmer?" they say.
 Simon, himself says: "Pm not dirt farmer, I'm n dirty far mer."
 Probably the most unpreten- tious member of the 74th con- gress, Hamlin admits without hesitation that he finds parlia- mentary rules confusing.
 "Prctty tough for thick. headed farmer like me-" he says. Hamlin's head is big, but 1t is not thick. A graduate of Bowdoin college, he has, as he

FINAL RITES HELD
. FOR zoo EMPLOYE
Rodney Rose, 79, Head
Keeper of Lion House, Once
Bitten by Snake.

Funeral services were held this
Afternoon for Rodney Rose, 79-year-
old former Zoo employe, whose love
of animals survived his retirement
nine, years ago as head keeper OF the
Lior. House.
The veteran keeper died Tuesday
evening at his home, ia Seventh
street northeast, after an illness OF
about two weeks. He was to be buried
in Fort Lincoln Cemetery after serv-
ices at Chambers parlors.
During the years of his retirement,
Rose returned often to the Zoo to
renew old friendships with the ami
mails and their keepers. He was par
ticularly fond of the lions. and some
of the old-timers still recognized him.
Talked in Sleep to Beasts.
Rose cared for the lions for more
than a quarter of century without
receiving a scratch. In his later years,
relatives heard him talking to them
in his sleep as he dozed in his chair
by the stove.
Get over there, joe" the veteran
keeper would mutter in his sleep,
'you know you've had your share
of that beefsteakl"
None of the big cats, apes or other
residents of the lion house ever
harmed Rose, although the keeper
almost lost his life about 20 years ago
when he was bitten by copperhead.
Finger Is Amputated.
Rose and another keeper were
cleaning the exhibition cage of several
copperheads. The second keeper was
holding the reptiles back with
broom, when one darted under his
guard and struck Rose on a finger.
The finger was amputated, but infec-
ton set in and Rose did not recover
until he had spent several months at
point of death in hospital.
Before going to the Zoo. about 1900,
Rose was mate on river steamer
and the conductor of horse-drawn
street cars in Washington.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Annie Rose, and several stepchildren.

CHICAGO, December 1e.-It will
cost Mrs. Myrtle Tanner Blackldge,
once Uncle Sans income tax collec-
tor here, $500 in damages to eat
her Christmas turkey at home-if Mrs.
Susanne Nottingham has anything to
say about it.

victed of stealing her husbands love

Cook County Jail
The middle-aged prisoner is held
on a malice clause contained in the
alienation of affections verdict she lost
to Mrs. Nottingham in January, 1884,
over the love of the latter's husband,
Norman Nottingham, a handsome
patrolman.
The clause provided that until she
pays $500 damages (the jury cut the
romantic value of Dear Denny" down
from S1O0,00O) Mrs. Blacklidge may
be held in Jail up to six months-if
Mrs. Nottingham pays the jailer $3.50
weekly for her keep.
Mrs. Blacklidge said not long ago
she was reconciled to staying in jail.
But along came Thanksgiving with the
holiday spirit and out went an appeal
through her attorney to Mrs. Noting
ham:
please, Susie have a heart. Let
me go home. Thanksgiving and
Christmas mean a lot"
Susie's reply, Wetzel said, was that
she was sorry for Mrs. Blacklidge, but
