Washington, March 8.—While the
fight against the compromise soldier
bonus bill continued today unabated,
house members predicted privately
that the measure would be passed
by the house.
Although a two-thirds vote would
be required to put the bill through
under such a procedure, republican
leaders were discussing the question
of calling up the measure under a
suspension of the rules. This would
preclude the possibility of amend-
ments and ordinarily would limit de-
bate to 20 minutes on each side.
The majority membership will be
sounded out on the proposition, but a
decision will probably be withheld un-
til after the return here late in the
week of Chairman Fordney, of the
ways and means commitee, who will
have charge of the bill on the floor.

Anti-Blue Law League of America, 1

at this conference, it was said, to set-

FIGHT ON BONUS
r BILL CONTINUES
Washington, March 8.—Railroads
began their final defense today of ex-
isting levels of freight and passen-
ger rates before the Interstate Com-
merce Commission when attorneys
gave oral arguments which will con-
clude the hearings tha have contin-
ued for several months. Henry Wolf
Bikie, of the Pennsylvania system,
Fred H. Wood, general counsel for
the Southern Pacific, and Frank
Gwathney, for the southern roads, in-
sisted that neither on legal or eco-
nomic grounds had the mass of testi-
mony taken disclosed grounds for the
commission to make general rate re-
ductions.
The railroads gave way to their'op-
ponents just before the day’s sessions
concluded, and Fred W. Putnam, of
the Minnesota Railroad Commission,
speaking for all state regulative bod-
ies associated in the hearing, entered
upon the preliminaries of an argu-
ment which will be_continued tomor-
row. State commissions are asking
for, he said, passenger fare reduc-
tions on the grounds they are too
high for the traffic to bear and that
no portion of railroad charges, if re-
duced, “would be more quickly re-
flected in the actual cost to the ulti-
mate consumer."
Mr. Bikie used railroad earning
statistics exhaustively placed in the
record to formulate his conclusion
that no reductions can, be granted"
Railroads are entitled to a 6 per cent
return on the value of property used
in transportation, he contended,

Washington, March 8.—
tration and “irreconcilable” elements
of the senate matched wits today in
the first pitched battle of the fight
over the Four Power Pacific treaty.
Leading the supporters of ratifica-
tion, Senator Lodge, Republican, of
Massachusetts, a member of the -
American arms delegation, told the
senate that the treaty’s main pur-
pose was to abrogate the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance and that its other pro-
visions downed the United States to
do no more than talk over future
controversies in the Pacific.
Replying for the irreconcilables.
Senator Reed, democrat, Mo., declar-
ed that if Mr. Lodge’s interpretation
was correct, then the whole treaty
was “a farce,” accomplishing nothing
more than agreement already in force.
In a running fiv of debate, many
questions related to the arms confer-
ence including the difference of view
that arose between President Hard-
ing and the American delegation, re-
garding interpretation of the Four
Power treaty, were explained and
discussed from the conflicting view-
points of the administration and the
irreconcilables.

R Orange, Texas, March 8.—This city
was again thrown into a frenzy of ex-
citment at 4 o’clock this afternoon
when M. H. Free, a section foreman,
shot to death Felix Fernandez. Free !
surrendered to Sheriff Helton within
Ka a few minutes and following a hear-
P ing was released on $1000 bond. He
- Mid Fernandez, who was employed
by the Gulf Coast Lines, was prepar-
I B ing to attack him with a knife. Fer-
nandes and Free are said to have
had trouble yesterday.
This late tragedy makes three vio-
• lent deaths within 16 hours on the
streets here. Last night Deputy Sher-
iff Lake Hailey and Henry Griffith
were shot to death in a pistol duel
22 ’ront of the First National Bans.
e, Fa__es leading up to this tragedy
F* Ypbably will be determined at an ex-
I_Femining trial of former Deputy Sher-
A Iff Colombos Canter and his brother-
• • in-law, John Ratcliff, a dairy man.
These two men were formally ch n-
ed with the murder of Hailey.
It was first believed that Hailey
and Griffith killed each other but
it is the theory of Sheriff Helton
that Hailey was shot to death from
the crowd after Griffith fell mor-
• tally wounded with a bullet in his
brain.
