Cost of Measure Sent
To Senate Set at
Two Billion
By ERIC FRIEDHEIM
International News Service

For the fourth time since the
historic bonus march on Wash
ington in 1882, the House to-
day approved immediate full
payment Of war veterans adj
justed service certificates.
The vote was 355 to SO.
The members passed and
sent to the Senate the united"
bonus bill, backed by leading
veterans organizations and
evolved through a compromise
among opposing congressional
factions.
While directing payment Of
the bonus Immediately, the
measure leaves for future de-
termination how the money
is to be provided. Prior to
the final vote, members re-
jected a proposal by Repre-
sentative Treadway (R.),
Massachusetts,, to pay off the
certificates with unexpended
emergency appropriations held
in the Treasury.
Costs $2,2s2, $4,000
Jointly sponsored by Democratic
Representatives Patman Of Texas,
vinson of Kentucky and McCor.
mack Of Massachusetts,, the bill
is estimated to cost the Federal
Government $2,2s2,350,00O.
Ignoring an almost certain
presidential veto, House leaders
propelled the bill to passage with
lightning speed, curtai1ing debate
to the minimum and strangling
every amendment offered from
the floor.
Hundreds of ex-soldiers
thronged the galleries eagerly
witnessing proceedings on the
floor below. Officials of the
American Legion, Veterans of the
Foreign Wars and Disabled
Veterans Of America, perennially
hostile service organizations, sat
side by side.
Characterized by its propo-
nentS as a relief measure, the
bill cancels all interest obliga.
tionS incurred by those who have
borrowed on their certificates.
Unpaid interest at the present
time totals nearly 100000, 900.
Must Provide Income
AS an inducement to veterans
who prefer not to take advantage
Of their right to cash in their
certificates at once, the bill directs
payment Of 3 per cent interest per
year on the present value of the
certificates until the original ma
turity date in 1915.

LAW EXTENDED
ON GOLD
International News Service

4ntOFHhGOhaA news OeEVAc0
President Roosevelt by procla-
nation today extended for one
year his broad powers under the
gold reserve act of 1884.
This gives the President an
additional IL months in which
he may, if he desires, devalue the
dollar by another 10 cents and
it extends for a like period the
life of the two-billion-dollar stabil.
ization fund.
The presidential proclamation
declared that the emergency
which prompted passage Of the
act still existed and the Pres.
ident, therefore, took advantage
of the clause which gave him
the authority to extend the life
of the act one year. It will now
run until January 80, 1887.
The proclamation declared:
"The emergency which existed
on January 30, 1884, the rate Of
approval of said gold reserve
act Of 1884, has not been
terminated by international
monetary agreement or other
wise, but, on the contrary con-
tinues and has been intensified
in divers respects by unsettled
conditions in international COM
merce and finance and in for
eign exchange"

FOrCrOp
Control
BY EARL GOODWIN

With AAA out and the farm
problem in again, President Roose-
welt today frankly explained the
national agricultural question as
it appears to him, following the
Supreme Courts knockout Of the
processing taxes and everything
connected with the Administers
tons crop control plan.
AS the President views the prob
lem, he must look at agriculture
as a national matter, regardless
of the State lines which have COM
plicated the situation under the
Constitution.
Some form Of crop control ap-
parently is indicated; and he ex-
planned that the various farm
conferences now being held in this
city are leading up to another act
of Congress which will keep agri-
culture down to a profitable level
and still remain within the bounds
of the Constitution.
Too Much PlOwed
The trouble with agriculture,
as the President sees it, is that
too much prairie land was
plowed up for wheat; too much
southern land plowed up for
cotton; a similar trouble was
apparent in other crops, and the
resulting widespread blowing OF
lands never intended for farming
resulted in the dust storms and
eroded land-a situation growing
worse every year.
With that in view, the Presl'
dent stated the problem as 1t
appeared to him:
I'VE must avoid a national
agricultural policy that will

manned by 102 officers and men,
embarked on a 2.400-mile flight
to the Caribbean from the
Marine Corps base here today in
the largest mass formation flight
ever undertaken by the Marine
service.
Undertaken as part Of the
winter training program Of the
Marine Corps air unit, the flight
is designed to test the striking
power Of such a unit operating
at a great distance from its base.
Storms along the Atlantic sea-
board caused postponement OF
the flight yesterday. The planes
left Quantico at 8 a. m. today
and Miami was to be their first
stop. Lieut.. Col. Roy S. Geiger,
commanding officer, said he be-
lieved the group would reach the
Florida city about $50 this
afternoon.
From Miami, where the SO
planes will be Joined by others
Of the Quantico unit already
there, the flight will continue to
Santo Domingo and then to San

LONDON, Jan. 10 Q.N.S0.
Both Italian and Ethiopian forces
are engaged in major military
movements on both the northern

Ethiopian war as both Italian

anxious about her oil supply than
she has appeared to be.
Perhaps because Of fears her oil
supply eventually may be stopped

Italy has ordered her armies into
action on both Ethiopian fronts
despite difficulties which have
risen as the result of recent heavy
rains.

Vital" New Evidence
Held by Hoffman,
Friends Claim

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 U.N.S0
Gov. Harold G. Hoffman Of New
Jersey will break the Lindbergh
case and save Hauptmann from
the electric chair" despite any con-
trary opinions members Of the
court Of pardons now hold.
This proud boast today was
aScribed to aides Of the governor
by the. New York Evening Journal
in a copyrighted story from Tren-
ton, adding these aides have
stated Hoffman will be the big.
gest man in the country by next
Friday and en- route to. the Vice
Presidency next year.
FROM one of New Jerseys high
est officials, to- whom the aides
boosted, this startling revelation
came exclusively to the Journal,
the story added. He said:
II was told that the governor
Is absolutely positive he can
bring the court Of pardOns
around to his way Of thinking,
because Of the vital evidence he
holds, establishing Hauptmann
as q comparative minor charac-
ter in the crime.
MAY GRANT RETRIEVE
"The governor, 1 was told, is
prepared, in the event the court
Of pardOns will not be con-
WINGED, to step out to the aid Of
the defense by granting a re-
prieve and fOreStalling the ex-
ecutiOn long enough to give
Hauptmann'S lawyers time to
bring the new evidence back
into the courts.
"HOffman's eye is definitely
set for Washington, and he
means to carry himself there
through this case. He believes
he will crack it, bring what he
calls the real solution and win
universal acclaim for himself"
The "vital" evidence, the Jour
nal said the State official re
vealed, will come from a secret
and guarded source through Ellis
Parker, Burlington county CHIEF
of detectives.
Documents which Governor
Hoffman believes will prove i'm
portant in saving Hauptmanr
from the electric chair, the Jour
nal added, are expected to arrive
by messenger today when the
Europa docks in New York. Il
is understood they deal with the
activities of Isidor Fisch, Haupt
mann's dead alibi, after he re
turned to the Fatherland.
AffidavitS Collected
c. Lloyd Fisher, chief defense
| counsel, has been collecting aft
davits from would-be defense wit
nesses, who appeared in Fleming
ton and requested that they be
permitted to testify in defense
Of Hauptmann, but their re
quests were refused by Edward j
Reilly, then mainstay Of the de
tense legal forces.
Latest addition to the defense
collection is the story in aft
davit form told by oscar j
Brakeman, Of New York, who
claims he was an intimate Of
Fisch and that the latter asked
him to leave the taxicab business
and tour the country with him
to help pass "hot money"
This proposition was said tc
have been made by FiSch wher
he encountered Bruckman parked
in his taxicab at Columbus Circle

His deep bass voice rumbling

bluntly denied contentious Of the
Senate munitions committee that
his firm in 1915 deliberately
brought on a panic in the foreign
exchange in order to force the
administration Of President Wood
row Wilson to permit flotation Of
an unsecured public AngloFrench
loan in this country.
Earlier, testimony and docu-
ments revealed that the British
pound dropped sharply in this
country when the Morgan firm
stopped supporting it. Commit
tee members contended this was
q move by the Morgans to apply
pressure for policy favorable to
foreign loans.

Morgan, who has taken little
part in the rapid-crosS fire Of
questions and answers, got the
Jump on the committee today at

burst in loud voice, leaned back
and completed the little state
ment with a phrase that seemed
to place a final pat on the whole
incident.
'That is all. I thank you,
sirs."
Change in Policy
There was no committee COM
ment on the Morgan statement
and Senator Clark CD of Mis-
souri, resumed his questioning
about the circumstances surround
ing the break in the pound which
began about August IA, 1915.
AS it happened, shortly after
this, and after the then Secre-
tary of the Treasury william
Gibbs McAdoo had written Mr..
Wilson a letter appealing for a
change in policy that would per-
NIT foreign loans, such a change
was quietly made by Wilson,
without public change in policy.
