HOUSE PASSES
COMPROMISE
B 0 N D PLAN
Veto by President on
New Measure
Expected
WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
(UP) Congress slammed
the $2,237,0 100000 soldier
bonus bill through the for
malities of final passage
today and prepared to do it all
over again if necessary to over
ride a presidential veto.
The house completed action on
the measure, providing for pay
ment in baby bends which may be
cashed Immediately or held as an
investment, when it accepted the
senate method of payment and
dispatched the measure to the
White House
Speaker Joseph Byrns announc-
ed the vote as 346 to So This
compared with a vote of BAG to
SO when the house passed its own
bonus bill last week.
The overwhelming house major
ity in favor of the bond bonus en-
phaSized the belief of Congress that
it could pass the measure over a
presidential veto. This attitude
was based en- the "a to 16 senate
vote in favor of the bill. The veto
and final vote may colle early
next week.
The original house bill, passed
with only Sc dissenting votes, call
ed for immediate full cash pay
ment but failed to specify how
the mCney should be raised. The
senate measure was substituted.
The bill that now goes to the
White House provides for pay
ment in $50 bonds, cashable after
June Is, or they may be held draw
ing three per cent interest until
1915, the original time for pay
ment of the adjusted service GER
tificates.
The bill provides no means CT
raising the money to pay the bonus,
but as yet there has been no
definite indication of whether new
taxes will be required.

Prisoners Strike
On Alcatraz Island


ALCATRAZ ISLAND, SAN FRAN
CISCO BAY, Jan %. (UP)-A strike
in Alcatraz federal penitentiary en-
tered a state of siege today with
neither striking prisoners nor Ward
en- James A. Johnston showing any
indication of receding from their
positions
The prisoners-100 of the island
prisons 259 inmates - refused to
work. Johnston refused to feed them
until they do.
The strike began Monday when 20
prisoners struck. 1t reached its CHI
max Tuesday when 80 others joined
the passive strike, demanding more
privileges.
The 100 mutineers remained
locked in cells, today, some in SOL
itary, others in the narrow cubicles
they regularly occupy.
Johnston reported that the laun-
dry, center of the uprising was OPP
Grating and that the other l59 pris-
oners were at their daily tasks

turn to the their place of legal
residence. This move was explain
ed by Homer B. Cross, deputy
sheriff of police of Los Angeles,
who said the move is part of state
wide plans for handling the grow
ing transient problem. Similar
squads of officers will be estab-.
lished at every railroad port of
entry into the state, Cross said.
Those taken from the trains are
tC be searched for weapons and
fingerprinted, Cross said.
The squad is expected to be sta
tened at Yuma within a week and
the plan is promised the fullest
cooperation on the part of Sheriff
Robert Ware and his department.
Other Lines Planned
This first line of defense will be
supplemented by second line in
the congested centers Of popula-
ton throughout the state, where
officers will be instructed to pick
up, shakedown and fingerprint all
tranSientS who filter through the
first lines at the state borders.
Cross said check made recently
revealed that five per cent of the
transients fingerprinted in Los
Angeles were wanted en- felony
charges in other places.
Sheriff Ware said the Imperial
county Jail is crowded with pris-
oners, many of them transients
arrested and convicted for var
ious crimes, and the blocking OF
further entrance of tranSientS
would be a great boon to law en-
forcement officers.
Criminal Phase
The plan, according to Cross,
has criminal and economic phase.
The criminal angle brought of
fers of cooperation from law en-
forcement officers and the eco
nomic phase brought offers OF
help from the communities which
in the past have been called upon
to support the hordes of translentS.
Sheriff Ware said the burglaries
and robberies and stickupS un-
doubtedly would be reduced as the
transientS have few places to go
for food and shelter. They there
fore help themselves, he said.

company application without "a
public hearing, city councils of
CaleXico. BraWley, Westmorland
and Holtville recently adopted res
olutions demanding a public hear
ing and asserting that "the distri-
button of electric service in rural
areas of Imperial county by the
Southern Sierras Power company
is not wanted and not needed by
the farmers and landowners of I'm
perial county.
Copies Of similar resolutions we're
provided every city council and
every chamber of commerce in
Imperial Valley, according to Evan
T. HeWes, chairman of the beard
Of directors of the Imperial Irri-
cation district, and are expected
to be presented for adoption at
subsequent meetings.
Petition Charges
The resolutions set forth that
the power company made applica-
ton to the railroad commission in
October 1885, and the order APP
proving the application was issued
by a majority o. the commission
October %, 1885, without a public
hearing having been held.
Since the residents and landoWn-
ers Of the county have an inter-
est in the matter, according to the
petition, the approval of the APP
plication is protested and the COM
mission is asked to vacate and set
aside the order and if further
pressed by the power company, a
public hearing be held so that res
idents and landowners may have
an opportunity to be heard.
Bodies adopting the resolution
authorize the district board of di-
rectors to oppose the granting OF
the application.
In addition, the resolutions set
forth that there is sufficient hydro
electrical power to supply the
needs of Imperial county to be
provided when the All American
canal is completed.
The power company is accused oil
having served the rural areas III
miner way and in the most eX-
acting and stringent manner. The
power company, according to the
resolutions, did not manifest IN
terest in providing service to rura
areas until it was proposed to serve
them by other means. The power
company then, it was asserted
served only the more thickly pop
ulated areas and left a majority
of the area with no service at all
If the power company is per,
mitted TO continue its expert
ments", the resolutions continue, il
will destroy possibility of uniform
competition to the district system
will not benefit the consumers but
be a detriment to landowners ano
consumers.
No Franchise, Is Charge

on rural identification Will be
hindered by the continuance oil
the experiment, the resolutions eX-
plain. Further, it is set FORTH the

fit of farmers and landowners foi
