Soldier Bonus Assured, Say Legion Heads Declare Passage in House Cer tain and Enough Votes to Override Veto Pledged in Senate. By International Mena Service. Washington, Dec. 8.—Battle lines were being drawn in congress today for wiiat promises to be the most spectacular legislative clash of the session—the fight to enact a soldiers’ bonus bill over the veto of President Coolidge. The president's unequivocal opposi tion to the bonus has throws Capitol If 111 into a veritable turmoil. Every where the bonus question lias eclipsed ail other topics. Mr Coolidge's stand did not come wholly as a surprise but the blunt ness of tlit! president’s dismissal of the bonus has left administration leaders In congress In a quandary. That congress will pass a bonus, patterned substantially after the measure vetoed by the late Presi dent Harding, is conceded even by the bitterest opponents of the hill. The house is expected to send it over to the senate with a substantial ma jority soon. Sufficient votes have been pledged In the senate to pass the bonus. When It goes to tlie White House, Presi dent Coolidge will send it back to the congress, marked "rejected.” Unless all present lineups are knocked galley-west, the house will override the veto This series of events places square ly up to the senate the question of repudiating or approving one of Mr. Coolidge's most important stands in national legislation. Legion Men Busy. Ever since the first private infor mation came from the White House that President Coolidge would op pose a bonus. American Legion of ficials have been busier than bees in the senate. Today these officers claimed that at least seven votes more than the required two-thirds to override the veto have been definitely pledged. The heaviest strength is claimed among democrats, of whom 40 are said to be ready to go against the president. If legion spokesmen are correct, only !7 votes are needed from the republican side to effect rejection of the veto. School Boys Are Ordered to Walk luvenile Judge Takes Autos Away From Them for Week.

For two months Osato believed his artist wife dead and it was only when he applied at the American embassy in Yokohama for Informs tlon of her whereabouts Shat he dis covered that she had left Japan im mediately after the disaster and was safe In the United States. The trials and suffering of his people In the weeks that followed the fire, flood and earthquake that swept Yokohama to a mass of ruins were graphically told by the little photog rapher. He smiled a fittle as he told of the trouble he had In acting as both mother and father to his little daugtv ter, Teru. The child had not worried about Its mother, he said, until after he had discovered that Mrs. Osato was safe Then Teru wanted her "mama" at once and It was only an assurance that mother was . In America and they woud see her soon that kept her contented. When he emerged from the chaos that followed the days and nights of terror, Osato had nothing left, not even a suit of clothes. Friends aided him and clad him In riding breeches and a corduroy sports coat. Golf stockings and shoes completed his cos tume—the costume that he had worn from Japan. “I was In the studio of a friend in Tokio when the quake came, Teru was with friends, Mrs. Osato and Sono were In Yokohama,” he said. "The studio collapsed and niv friend and I were hurled In the debris It was some time before I was liberated and then some in juries forced me to go to a hospital. It was some weeks before I could even investigate what had happened to my wife. "Teru was not afraid at any time I am told.

The deadlock has been accentuated by announcement from labor head quarters that a coalition of liberals and laborites is imposslbe. Leaders of all parties were In Lon don today conferring. Some constltu eneles were still unheard from today, but it was estimated that the con servatlves would hold about 260 seats in commons, while the laborites will have about 180 and the liberals 150.

The lady is by way of being a vir tuoso of the instrument. She admits it. She is claiming the Maryland har monica championship, and is enteied in the state championship match, now in progress. She lives in Baltimore, and received ail hert training In America. Miss Krigier is firm in her endorse ment of the stand taken by other American artists that the time has ar rived win n no ambitious musician need spend a period of years in European studios to attain the high est artistic achievements. "And playing the harmonica Is reaJly an art," she added, "just as much as playing a violin or piano. "People for the rtiost part have no conception of the possibilities of the instrument, or difficulty of Us prop er technique. "The pipe organ is generally recog nized as the nean »t approach to sym phonic performance possible to a sin gle person; and the mouth organ Is really only a miniature edition of the pipe organ.'1 Miss Krigier believes some benevo lent person should endow a chair for the harmonica in one of America's leading conservatories, and employ a capable artist, who might devote his life to advancing the technique of the instrument.
