 Hats in 'tha Week RobinsoFi has placed tho bonus and neutrality at the top oe tho senate legislative list and nooP ae- ton will depend upon which one first emergos from committee. % will be late in the week betcgo either reaches that phase. Although the vinsun-R RmtmAll- Mccormick bonus bill supported by the three principal veterAns' oEs QaniRationa was gteaEn-gollcred through the house. it appeared Mke. iy to become the subject ot heated controversy In the ssnate- -pEincls pally ovsr the qudbticn of how it is to be paid.
 Thus for no bonus bill has been introduced In the senate but nn agreement on 6 measure may bo reached to-day. Reports that an agreement already had been reach. cd were denied by senate bonus leaders.
 Compromlse nllI Is In,
 Washington, Jaii. 1S--(uP)a-A compromise bonus bill providing for payment in bonds which the vet eran could cash immediately ct any post ofiice WIS introduced in the Senate today by Sen. Pet Harrison, chairman of tho finance committee.
 Sponsors of the coEapromise plan predicted it would Do the measure finally enacted into law.
 The bill callss for issuance of bonds in e60 denominations. They could Do cashed immediately by the veterans to whom iBgued ct any post ofiice, but would not Do other. wise negotiable. They would Do issued for c i0-year period and bear three per cent interest, allowing the veteran to hold them as an invost- snent if he desired.
 The compromise measure, which probably will be substituted in the Senate for the United Front bill passed by the House last week, pro. vidcs for full payment of the face value of all adjusted service certi. ficates, less loans which have been made on them, with no interest charges after Sept. 90, 1881.
 Harrison said he believed no new taxes would be necessary to finance the measure.

 When Captain Edgar L. Yates, . veteran skipper, took the freighter out from Portland, Saturday night there was rain and some wind but nothing to presage the tragedy that was to follow.
 Tossed Like Feather
 The wind picked up the 4i0-foot freighter like c feather and tossed it on the dreaded spit. Maritime au- thorities were Investigating reports that Yates neglected to secure pilot to take him over the river bar But 1t was believed that with ot without Q pilot the Iowa could not have avoided the sands which pulled her to her death.
 Frank Caldwell, radio operator sent out c feeble 6. Q. 6. ct 3:4o c. n. It was the iast cell from the Towa.
 The coast guard cutter 0nandaga answered from Astoria but the storm drove her back time and again. It was six hours before she finally ap- preached the scene.
 Commander D. 6. Patch brought the 1000 ton onandaga within i,b00 yards of tho Iowa, close enough for him to see through glasses that there was no one living aboard.
 Was Gone quickly
 As Commander Patch attempted to mAneuver closer, Q towering wave smashed two lifeboa@ on the cutter and swept away the stack and bridge of the Iowa. Patch turned tho Onandaga's back toward the Colunl- bia. He looked again and only the foremast of the Iowa remained above the waves.
 A short time later Captain Lara Bjelland, commander of the Point Adams motor iifeboat, reached the wreck and circled 1t several times, He too reported no life aboard.
 Bjelland'g boat picked up the wave-battered bodies of two seamen, their arms broken, about 800 yards inshore from the wreck.
 The captains home was in Port- land. It was his first trip on the Iowa although he had commanded other boats of the States here. Bodies Not Identilfled
 The bodies of the two men picked up by the Point Adams motor life. boat and the three bodies washed to the Washington side of the rivei were not identified.
 Peacock Spit has claimed hun. dreds of lives from among the 0t ships which have run aground there but the loss of the Iowa brought the heaviest toll of life. Un. til yesterday, the major disaster had been that of the s. S. Rosenkrani which sank in 1913 with 30 mer aboard.
 The Iowa was bound from Port. land for New York via San Fran. cisco with Q cargo of lumber ant flour. Much of her cargo Heated ashore and spectators along thu shore collected scraps of lumber cases of sardineg and other salvage
 Captain Yates was 6 veteran of 4( years at sea. He began his career 1T Great Britain and entered service o United States lines in 1916. He hat held masters papers 20 years.

ample of c law which went even further than AAA toward unconsti- tutionality, the court determined not to 90 into the merits of the question ct this time.
 Decision Unanimous
 The processing tex decision was iinanimotiS.
 It said:
 "In praying c writ of certiorari the petitioner asserted that by rec. son of the provisions of section 2l D it would Do impossible to recover taxes collected, even though the act were unconstitutional, since the sec' ton forbids recovery except upon . showing Of facts not susceptible to proof.
 "This court granted the writ and restrained collection of the tax upon condition that tho petitioner should pay tho amount Of the ac. cruing taxes to . depository, to the Joint credit of petitioner and re. spondent, such funds to Do with. drawn only upon the further order of the court.
 "The cause was advanced for hearing and has been fully argued on the question of the constitution. aiity of the oxaction and the in. adequacy os the remedy for re. covery Of taxes paid" Bsnkhead Cotton Tax Washington, Jan. i3-(uP) --The supreme court today dismissed without passing on the merits, the suit of Lee Moor, Texas cotton planter, to have the Bankhead cot- ton control act declared uricollstttu. tionai.
 The ruling served to postpone the judicial showdown on the contested law until the court acts on the suit of the state of Georgia to have the statute ruled invalid.
 Tine Georgia suit has been acceps ted by tho court and 6 ruling may be expected some time after Jan. 20 when the government is to file an answer. The Georgia suit was brought ct the direction of Gov. Eu. gene Taimadge, . sharp critic of the New Deal. Not Against Govt
 The Moor test case was not direc. ted against the government, but against the Texas and New Orleans railroad. The law prohibits railroads from accepting cotton for shipment without certificates attached to the bale showing that the cotton was tex.exempt or that Q tax has been paid.
 Moor, having sold oil the cotton permitted to Do grown under his al. lotment contract, had no such cer. tificates. He nevertheless demanded that the road accept his shipment, destined for Europe. The road refused, setting up as a defense the fact that 1t was pro. hibited from moving the cotton, Moor brought suit challenging the law.
 Refused to Enjoin
 The Texas federal district court refused to enjoin the road from re- fusing the goods and Moor appealed to the fifth circuit court of appeals which also held against him. Appeal to the supreme court followed.
 The government intervened in the Moor case but abandoned argument when solicitor general Stanley Reed

 In 1907 he secured his honorable discharge end made his first ven. ture iia the show business. This was ct Forest City, Penn, and it waS in connection with Q job as bartender. Tn . crAmped room behind the bar he began showing motion pictures. There were no cushioned seats and lavish stage shows iri the first Roxy theater. Tho local undertaken fur. nished him with 2b0 folding chairs, The screen was the sheet from Roxy's bod. He showed three sin. gle reels for . nickel.
 Did Ail The Work
 Roxy worked hard at this the- atricai gamble. Ae painted his own projecting machine. He even swept out the theator and announced the program, as waa the custom in the early cinematic days.
 Tn the early cold dawn he would rise ct { in the morning, plough through the snow to Carbondale, seven miles from Forest City and then trudge back again, Juggling an old Vitagraph reei. At o:30 that eve. ming he would run it of for an au- dience sometimes composed only Of four people. He studied his audi. ences from the first and tyied to give them what thsy liked.
 With on idea now of what he wanted to do in life, he went to Minneapolis and operated Q theater there on Q modest scale. Next he went to Milwaukee where he ran the old Alhambra. He was coming up.

Roxy shows had become famous iii New York for the color and glanioE of the stage efsects and novelty of presentation.
 Radio arose as . factor in the en- tertainiaent business and Roxy wat right on hand to take part in it During Q program he mentioned that close friends called him by the nickname ''Isoxy" and "Roxy" he was known from then on.
 Built Great Theater Then he left the Capitol to build the great theater that still stands bearing his name, The Roxy. Thii magnificent building. which gave every ticket-buyer ell the luxury oi palace, was resplendent with mar ble, deep soft lounges, sparkling crystal chandeliers and gold leaf. When the Rockefeller interests built Radio City they got Roxy to take charge of the theatrical enter- prises there and in particular. the Radio City music hall. Again he produced lavish stage shows. caring nothing for expense. Their cost nn- ally led to Q falling out with the R-K-O interests and he quit iIi 1884 after two years there.

CONQUEST OF CHINA.
HELD INEVITABLE.
Japan's Future Course Dis
cusSed by PETER and
Pearl Buck.

Japan last night was described as
the inevitable conqueror of China in
a three-way discussion held under the
auspices of the Independent Legisla-
tive Bureau at the Cosmos Club.
Nathaniel PETER, noted author and
authority on Far Eastern affairs, told
the distinguished company of diplo-
officials and writers that he Is thor
oughly convinced that Japan will have
completed her conquest Of North
China within the next year and pre-
dicted that at least two provinces will
be conquered within 30 days.
PETER was the target for most Of
the questions fired at the speakers by
the audience. He shared the discus
sion honors with Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ard Walsh. Mrs. Walsh Is Pearl Buck,
author of ''The Good Earth" Senator
Elbert D. Thomas of Utah opened the
discussion with a statement of points
and also closed it with summation.
Japan Great New Power"
Japan has come up as a great new
power" PETER declared. She has sue
ceeded in her conquest of most of
Asia and is going to consummate that
conquest within the not distant fu-
ture. I don't think Japan will at
tempt to take Mongolia and Siberia
until she has polished off North
China, which I predict will be within
year. After that nothing on earth
will stop Japan but war"
PETER said war never will settle
anything at all in the Far East, even
if Japan is crushed by another power.
Referring to the "open door" policy,
he told his audience that the door is
going to be closed and We can either
swallow it and like it or resist with
force"
Walsh, editor of the magazine Asia,
confined most Of his opening remarks
to the editorial policy of his publica-
ton and was not called upon to
answer any queries. Mrs. Walsh
however, took her stand along with
PETER. She said she had not found
any real interest in Sino-Japanese
affairs in this country, except for q
romantic interest. probably based or

and American mind"

the question of European Powers are

to historical instances to show the
attitude toward China held by this
country over a period of two Gen.
