ABANDON PLANS TO PAY BONUS BY ALLIED WAR DEBT For Liberty Loan Law Says Interest Must Go To Pay Bonds By DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright. 1922, By The Times-Herald) Washington, Jan. 16 All idea that the American soldiers will be paid a bonus out of the proceeds of th'o allied was debt may be abandoned.

There will be a bonus paid, however. It will be raised by direct taxation. President Harding announces that he favors the enactment of a bonus law and that he will not oppose a sales tax as the method of raising the money. Whether public sentiment will approve another tax imposition is quite another matter but republican leaders believe it is essential to success In the fall elections that they put the measure through and they plan to do so within the next few weeks. Practical obstacles have arisen to prevent the linking up of the bonus with the proceeds of the allied war debt One is the fact that the original Liberty loan acts provided that any payments made on the principal of (Continued on Page 12) ADMITS ATTEMPT TO ROB MEN Hall Starts Court Session With Guilty Plea William Hall, Sarnia, entered a plea "Of guilty to attempted robbery when arraigned before Judge Harvey Tappan Monday afternoon.

William Stuart HOTELS IS LEO BY BUCKERIDGE Two Girls Taken, Admit Visiting Joint" Frequently Two girls and 17 men were arrested Sunday night in raids by a squad of policemen, personally led by Byron B. Buckeridge, commissioner of public safety. The raid was one of a series, Mr. Buckeridge said, to carry out his announced policy of stamping out gambling and vice. In the Tash-moo hotel, where 10 men were taken, the raid precipitated a dash for safety by at least half a dozen gamblers, police say.

They declare that when they entered the room on the second floor where a game was in progress, they could see several men leaping out of windows and scrambling to safety. In the Griswold hotel, six men. all colored, were taken, and two white girls. Encounter "Look out" The police say they had a great deal of difficulty in gaining an entrance into the Tashmoo hotel, due to the system used by the operators of the game to insure safety to their patrons. An electric push button was arranged on the street and the man on watch notified the men of the officers' raid.

Several men escaped upon being given warning, but the police were successful in arresting 10 men, giving their names as Oliver Ford, Charles Young, R. H. LeClear, Chester Holt Roy Joice, Albert Holt. Major Harris, Harry Blev-lns, all colored and George Fisher and Urgen Marion, both white, and charged with running the game. Surround Building At the Griswold hotel the police surrounded the building and rushed all the doors at the same time.

A quiet game of stud poker was in progress, they charge, and at the officers' sudden entrance the participants of the game made a break for the doors, only to find them all guarded by officers. The men arrested gave their names as Ambrose Powell. John Browden, Phillip' Hervey, Stevens, ney Hancock. Elba Anderson, and George Anderson, all colored. Two young white girls were arrested by the police, who say they admitted that they had frequented the hotel on several occasions.

George Anderson, proprietor of the hotel, was arrested about two weeks ago on a charge of assault and battery but his case was dismissed.

S. Is Vision By Crafts Washington, Jan. 16. America is threatened with an Invasion of Turkish immorality. Dr.

Wilbur Crafts, reformer, said here today. Visions of ladies in silken pantalettes doing a Turkish dance and treading with bare feet on the morals of the world were conjured up by Crafts. He foresaw a dull smoke of incense accompanying this immorality wave poison gas for the morals of the American youths. Evidences of this Turkish Immorality wave are "vampires, jazz and Joy-rides," Crafts said In predicting dire consequences for the nation unless this is stopped. "Tbe Bible holds the lesson for us In the history of Elijah's slaughter of the priests of Baal, for their Immorality," Dr.

J. Rathfon will present a resolution asking for permission to negotiate a loan of to meet the current expenses of the city. There is still about due the city from taxpayers for last July taxes and the loan is to be made in anticipation of the payment of these taxes. An amended ordinance regulating pool rooms will also be brought before the commission for discussion. The old ordinance regulating pool rooms is to bo revamped to permit pool room proprietors to keep the cigar stands in connection with their places of business open on Sunday.

There is nothing however, in the amended ordinance, as at present framed, which permits pool rooms to operate on Sunday. There is a possibility that one of the officials may ask that such an amendment be placed in the revamped ordinance. Other features uf the pool room ordinance will provide that licenses must be secured annually to operate such places of business, and more stringent restrictions will be placed on the qualifications of the proprietors. There is a proislon that no license to operate a poal room shall be granted to a man who is not an American citizen. Under a recent ruling Issued by Commissioner Buckeridge cigar stands in connection will pool rooms are now permitted to do business on Sun day.

It is understood that there will also be some discussion on the proposed reduction of the personnel of the police department and he proposed changes in the fire department. DEI NEW TRIAL TO IWBS. KIRBY Judge Hart Says Verdict Not Contrary To Evidence Adrian, Jan. 16. Mrs.

Matie Kirby, the Hudson temperance worker, is denied a new trial in findings filed todav hv ton L. Hart in the circuit court. xne court did not find the verdict rendered by a Jury last month convicting Mrs. Kirby of manslaughter in connection with the disappearance of an infant born to her unwed daughter last July "contrary to the weight of the evidence' as had been argued by her attorneys. Judge Hart also held that no error had been made in admitting evidence of statements made by the defendant before the prosecution had established the corpus delicti.

"This case is In some respects an exception to the general rule," the findings said. "The corpus delicti could not be established by direct evidence, but depended upon circumstantial evidence. "Crime generally Is committed in secret. In many cases it becomes necessary to resort to circumstantial evidence. Otherwise a large proportion of crime would go unpunished."

Ramble of Civil War The rumble of threatenel civil war in China cast its deadening Jangle ver the conference, for the powerful Wu Pel Fu was reported to have demanded that the Premier Liang Shlh Yl retire or risk new revolution in the republic within a brief period. While some of the Chinese spokesmen predicted a final breakup of the Shantung parleys, others were talking of "quitting the conference" or "refusing to sign' should so unfortunate an event occur. In some quarters there was a feeling that the conference eventually will be obliged to tell the Chinese and Japanese to try settling the Shantung and 21 demands at home.

The far eastern committer Is scheduled to resume Its meetings this week. Foreign delegates are frankly disgusted with the delays in settling Shantung and with the dragging of the far eastern situation. The American group, however, hns successfully demanded that the agenda be covered. This means that there must be some consideration of Manchuria and Siberia, though the indications are that there will be little immediate accomplishment. Fares Are Reduced For Farm Meeting C.

A late report from one of the Armenian orphanages by Paxton Hibben, one of the investigators working of the Near- East fund, shows almost hopeless character of the situation there: "As I made my way through the crowd of these unmoving, hopeless people, I could not take my eyes off one figure standing in the station doorway, holding to the jamb with clawing hands and. swaying perilously.

Says Washington, Jan. 16. The right of the United States Steel corporation through its subsidiaries to operate steamships by way of the Panama canal is upheld in a tentative report submitted today to the Interstate commerce commissioner by the examiner designated to take evidence. The examiner's report if sustained by the commission, will settle the controversy hinging about that point. Steamship lines, operating thru the canal, attacked Sh steel corporation's rights to participate in the business on the ground that it was also owner of a number of railroad lines, some of which are engaged in transcontinental traffic.

Railroad lines so engaged are prohibited by law from entering into direct competition with the ships in the canal trade. The examiner decided that none of the corporation's railroads could be considered competitors for transcontinental business and that the ownership of merchant vessels by the manufacturing industry had not been forbidden by congress.
