Calls It “Insult to Senate” B.t International frrrTirr. Washington, April 12.—As th« rli max of one of the moat harsh and hitter attacks to which a president of the United States has ever been subjected. Senator James A. Reed, democrat, Missouri, tonight offered a resolution in the senate to expunge from the Congressional Record the special message of President Coolidge, condemning the investigation of Sec retary of the Treasury Mellon and the bureau of internal revenue. Declaring that the presidential me* Sige should “never have been given the courtesy of being received." Reed described as an "offensive document" which was an “insult to the senate.” Reed announced that he would de mand action on the resolution Mon day. The resolution was as follows: “Resolved, That the communication nr the president of the United States of date of April it, 1914. and the let ter to the secretary of the treasury i f date of April 10, 19:4, he and are hereby expunged from Hi* record of the senate.” (The secretary of the treasury's let t r, which was transmitted to the -o-nate by the president, condemned “government hy investigation" and severely criticized the courts of the internal revenue inquiry). False Statement, Charge. Senator Reed charged that the president had made a false statement i i hi* message when he stated the S> Treasury department was under at tack. Senator lValsh said the president's m-ssage was “the most arrogant -lace the days of the Tudor* end Stuarts.” "It seems," said Walsh, “that the president i* denouncing the senate In cause it exposed Albert Fall, the horrible administration of the veter ans bureau wnd is now exposing cor ruption in the Department of Jus tice.” Senator McKcllar, who has intro duced a resolution challenging Met Ion's right to hold office because of his large business holdings, charged that Mellon was "one of the biggeat distiller* of whiskv in the United Slates” and that this accounted for "no real effort at prohibition enforce ment,” In his defense of the president# at titude, Senator Watson told the sen ate that Senator Couzens employed Francis Heney, s California attorney, as an investigator at the suggestion of Governor Gifford Pinchot of Penn sylvania, long on the outs with Mel lon, ancf that Pinchot had "injected himself” Into the investigation. "The Internal revenue investlga tion and ail these other investigation* are timed at President Coolidge," he sa id. "The whole thing is an assault on the prealdent. Theae arrow* have all been aimed at hla (Coolidge.'*) breast, but today they lie broken at hla feet. They have found no flaw in bla armor—and they will find none.” BROTHER DENIES INQUEST ATTACK * Frank Btrnai of St. Paul.

White House Next Stop Washington, April 12.—The soldier'* bonus bill tonight was on Its way to enactment by congress. Only passage by the senate remains to be accom plished before the bill goes to the White House and this Is looked for next week. Overriding the objections of demo crats, the senate finance committee today reported the bonus bill passed by the house, providing 20-year en dowment Insurance policies for vet erans of the world war. Cash pay ments were proposed only In cases where the amount of the bonus totalled $50 nr less. Defeated In efforts thus far to pro vide also a cash option, democrats through Senator Simmons, democrat of North Carolina, announced they would introduce a cash payment amendment Monday or Tuesday. Ordered Reported. The bonus was ordered reported without a formal vote, and It was decided to lay the hill formally before the senate Tuesday. Senator King, democrat of T'tah, was the sole mem ber oP the committee to announce op position to the btll. t'nable to reach a decision today. Senator Smoot, republican of I'tah. i hnlrmnn, called a meeting of the rom mlttee for Monday to determine whether the bonus or the tax hill shall be givpn preference In the senate. Democrats, according to Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, were united to demand legislation first. They do not want to lay themaelves open to the possible charge that thev delayed enactment to tax legislation. Assured of Majority. Virtually assured of a majority In the senate, republican leaders Insisted that the bonus be given the right of way. Senator Smoot pointed out that final detedmination of the amount of tax reduction depended on the bonus hill. Should the bonus he ordered taken up first, as seemed certain fmm a poll tonight, It Is not believed the senate would consume more than a week In passing It. Committee experts declared that ap proximately 9,000,000 veterana would tie ellglbte to the Insurance provided by the hill. At today's session the committee elso added a provision thst 11,000 women who served In a clerical capacity In the navy and marine corps el.gihte to the bonus. Estimates thst varied as much as $1,500,000,000 were given as the cost of the bill. The highest figure, IV (tso.000,000, was presented by Joseph McCoy, actuary of the treasury: the lowest. $2,220,000,000 by John Thomas Taylor, counsel for the American legion.
