were introduced to Secretary Ickes for Gov
ernor Cramer The Secretary sat in an
office chair and seemed to be extremely
tired, indeed too tired for the number of
questions the newspaper men intended to
put to him. In response to some questions
he said he had not thought of that before,
in other cases he was careful not to commit
himself but he almost sprang from his seat
when asked by the Editor Of the West End
News concerning the possibility of the Vlr-
gin Islands Company paying taxes INTO
the municipal treasury. Mr.. Ickes said
that it is silly for any one to expect them to
spend 100000 furnishing employment IN
the island and then to be taxed. If would
be better, he said to pull out When re-
minded that bill requiring the company
to pay into the Treasury the equivalent of
what it would pay as taxes the Secretary
repeated that he was surprised to be asked
such silly question. The Editor of West
End News asked the Secretary if he could
bequoted, he said yes to quote his remarks
If the Danish companies who furnished
employment to the people of the en-
tire island had such an ease they would
have flourished But without collecting tax
es on what may become the major por-
ton of property in the island we fail to see
how the public institutions are to be carried
on especially in view of the fact that the
Federal appropriation is being steadily re-
duced

was taken to the home of Mr.. & Mrs. j.

was introduced to number of citizens.

left by boat for the plane while three rous-
ing cheers were given by the people ashore.
In few minutes the plane was in the

pressions. Whether those impressions will
mean better or worse for St. CrolX is left to
be seen.

Wednesday at Ashe-

Plans have been completed for
the Jackson day dinner of dis
trict No. II, which will be held
at Asheville on Wednesday. Jan.
8, and which will be one of be-
tween two and three thousand
such events in cities and towns
throughout the nation. The din
ner in Asheville will be at the
George Vanderbilt hotel.
The dinners will serve the pur-
pose of honoring Andrew Jackson,
hearing the presidents address
from the dinner in Washington,
and helping to finance the party
in the coming presidential cam
paign.
The Democratic party has long
followed the custom of honoring
jackson, but January 8 does not
commemorate the day of his birth
but rather the anniversary of his
victory over the British at New
Orleans in 1915.

the young Democratic organiza-
ton, is handling the tickets for
Henderson county. A portion of
the price for attendance at all

CITY FIRE Loss
SLIGHT
RISE FOR 1885
But 1t Remains Well Under
the Three-Year and TO-
Year Average

Fire losses in the city of Hen
Jacksonville duringthe year 1885
showed an increase of S5,472
over those for the year 1884, but
are still we'll under the average
loss of the past three years, and
great deal lower than the aver
age of the past ten years.
In the past three years fire
losses have shown a steady de-
crease in Hendersonville and the
average loss for the past three
years in $11,779 annually. Losses
during the past two years are low
er than for any previous two
years in the past ten years.
Records show that the depart
ment answered total of 53 calls
during the year 1885 and that the
loss was S1O,775. In 1884 the
department answered 40 calls and
the loss was $5,3O3. This was the
smallest loss probably on record
at the city hall. In 1888 the de-
partment answered 70 calls and
the loss was Sl9,250.

STRONG BONUS
BILL SUPPORT
SEEN IN House
Is Being Mustered to Jam
Measure Through, Is
Declared
ARE CLEARING WAY
FOR ACTION TODAY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. CUP
Powerful support was mustere'
today to jam the soldiers 'bonu!
and neutrality measures through
the house in rapid-fire action.
The controversial bonus issue
cleared in the house with a con
solidation of all factions behind
the veterans bill with prospects
that it will be brought to the floor
tomorrow or Thursday for vote
and rushed to the senate for &C
ton.
Chairman Sam D. McReynlods
3D., TENN, of the house foreign
affairs committee, called his
group into session today to discuss
the administrations neutrality bill
with prospects of rapid action
without the necessity of hearings.
The house ways and means COM
mittee unanimously agreed to re-
port favorably the bonus bill,
whichis advocated by the Ameri-
can Legion, Disabled War Veter-
ans and Veterans of Foreign
Wars.
Representative Fred M. Vinson,
3D., Ky.), one of the bills auth
ors, plans to prepare and file a
report on the measure today thus
clearing the way to ask the rules
committee to bring it to the floor
almost immediately.
McReynolds said he was oppos-
ed to further hearings on the
neutrality bill, which embargoes
arms and warfare implement ship
ments to belligerents, and check
loans and credits to warning ma
tions, as the matter "was threshed
out thoroughly last session."
Should the committee decide
against further neutrality hear
ings, it would be in a position to
report the bill favorably for
prompt floor action.
Passage of the bonus bill in the
house is foregone conclusion.
There probably is sufficient
strength also to override a presi-
dental veto, if necessary.
The bill provides for full and
immediate cash payment of the
bonus. The face value of veterans
certificates is S3,500,000,000.
The bills advocates claim the
federal government would not
have to obtain more than $1,000
100000 additional cash at this
time to carry out the bills provi-
sions. The bill does not specify
any method for paying the bonus
but authorizes the appropriation
for it.
