Crash Comes on Motion.
The crash came Friday on a motion
by Representative Johnson, of South
Dakota, one of the two soldier-con
gressmen pressing for action against
war grafters, to require Chairman
Campbell, of the rules committee, to
call up the resolution for immediate
consideration In conformance witli
the Instructions of the committee.
Mr. Johnson, charged and it was
not denied, that Chairman Campbell
plans to prevent the House from hav
ing an opportunity to pass on the
resolution by not bringing it up.
Campbell has assumed this surpris
ing attitude, he explained, notwith
standing tho fact that the commit
tee ordered him to call it up at the
"earliest possible moment,” and the
further fact that Campbell himself
voted to report out the resolution.
Johnson to Review Motion.
Unwilling to let the matter be de
cided by the House, the republican
leaders, through Representative
Walsh, of Massachusetts, raised a
technical point of order against the
Johnson motion. Also on a technic
ality, Speaker Gillett sustained the
point of order. The speaker left the
door wide open, however, for Mr.
Johnson to renew his motion at a
later date.
Mr. Gillett upheld Mr. Johnson's
contention that a committee chair
man cannot hold up at his will meas
ures ordered reported out by his com
mittee but ruled that the present
question was whether Campbell had
withheld the war frauds resolution
an unreasonable time. He did not
think Campbell had delayed beyond a
reasonable period—from May 3.
Representative Johnson appealed
from the decision of the chair and
Republican Leader Mondell moved to
lay the appeal on the table. Then the
old guard got extremely busy and
whipped enough votes into line to
sustain the speaker. Twenty-five
members on their side, however, re
fused even under the*party lash to
stand for the effort to prevent the
spotlight being turned on the persons
who robbed the government of hun
dreds of millions.
VOtO T4» to 114.
The vote was 149 to 114, the dem
ocrats, with the exception of Repre
sentative Campbell, of Pennsylvania,
standing solidly with the 25 republi
can insurgents. Representative Lon
don, of New York, socialist, also voted
to turn the light on the war frauds.
A number of the rank and file re
publicans, who rushed wver from the
office building In response to the roll
call bell, stated later they did not un
derstand what they were voting on,
but followed the word of the leaders
standing at the doors. Had they been
fully advised, many of them said,
they would have voted differently.
Representative Johnson assured
them he will renew his motion with
frequent regularity until Campbell
carries out the mandate of the com
i mittee, or Speaker Gillett, rules “a
reasonable time'’ for the rules com
mittee chairman to act has elapsed.
Thought Everything Fixed.
In their desperation to head off the
movement for a congressional inves
tigation, the republican leaders
thought they had everything fixed up
to force the rules committee, before
the House met, to rescind its actions
in reporting out the investigation
iesolution. This would have prevent
ed Representative Johnson making
his motion.
But there was a slip-up. Campbell
was to have changed his vote from
support on the resolution to against
it and moved a reconsideration. But
all the available republican votes were
necessary to carry through tha mo -
tion.
But Representative Kreider, of
Pennsylvania, said the scheme was
off.
There is little doubt in view of the
strength shown by the Woodruff
Johnson adherents Friday that the
move to have the rules committee to
rescind its action will bo again at
tempted if the full republican strength
cn the committee can be mustered at
any one time.

FOES OF TARIFF
Says Democratic Opposition
Postponing Business Sta
bility but Bill to Carry.
Washington, May 29. — Charging
that democratic opposition to the
pending tariff bill Is "simply postpon
ing the arrival of a period of business
stability,” Senator Lodge, republican
fleor leader, Sunday Issued a state
ment declaring that congress will
pass a republican protective tariff be
fore It adjourns.
The senator from Massachusetts, a
veteran of eight tariff fights, comes
to the defense of the bill now under
consideration, and asserts that upon
its passage depends the economic re
adjustment of the nation. He pre
dicts that the republican protective
tariff law which will he passed will
receive the approval of the country
“when the time comes for the elec
torate to pass Judgment upon the
work of congress."
He would "make haste slowly In
fixing the new schedules which must
determine what duties are necessary
and sufficient to protect American
Industry and agriculture under the
changed economic conditions.
He places responsibility for the de
lay In speeding up passage of the bill
squarely on the democrats, saying:
“The time wasting and delay which
the democrats are engaged In Is
simply postponing the arrival of a
period of business stability."

cratic members of the committee who,
led by Senator Walsh, of Massachus

Out of the three-horned, dilemma
Senator McCumber expects to bring
order by using steam roller tactics on
the democrats and spurring the re
publicans to action by conjuring up
the predicted defeat next November
unless the bill Is passed.
McCumber Is Confident.
By the use of these methods, Chair
man McCumber hopes to have enough
support within the committee to re
port out his own bill and thus shift
the responsibility from bis shoulders
to those of the whole Senate.
Those who favor the sales tax as
the only genuine means of paying the
soldier a cash bonus will then have
an opportunity to try to amend the
bill so that it will meet tho demand
of President Harding for ft sales tax
bonus. There seems to be little doubt
that the president will veto any bill
that does not comply with his wish
for paying the soldier- his full cash
bonus at once.
Audrey Muuson Possessed
With Belief Others Plot Her
Buin Attempts Suicide
—Career Sensational.
Universal Service.
Syracuse, N. Y., May 29.—Audrey
Munson, once balled as the "most
perfect sculptor's model," was report
ed In a dying condition Sunday night
as a result of swallowing poison.
She is said to have attempted to
end her life at Mexico, N. Y., near
here, Saturday night because she Is
possessed with the delusion that oth
ers are plotting her ruin and that she
Is pursued by a curse.
This fear has been in her mind for
a long time. Two years ago she
called at the office of a New York
newspaper and asked that her death
be announced so she could start life
over nndftr a nfiw nnrriA
Ha* Been Movie Star.
Mias Munson has been a talented
actress and movte star. It was as a
model, though, she won her fame. She
posed for many sculptors. She was
the model for “Descending Night" at
the Panama exposition, “Suffering
Humanity” In the memorial to Gen
eral Booth, founder of the Salvation
Army In London, and scores of other
remarkable statues.
The model fell from public favor
soon after the WUkena murder at
Long Beach four years ago. Mrs. Wll
kens was slain at her door. When Dr.
Walter Keen Wllkens, who was said
to have been attracted by the model’s
beauty, was arrestd, her name was
drawn Into the case.
Miss Munson later said she was
blacklisted by the movie studio. She
was soon reduced to poverty. She and
her mother, who made her living by
peddling, were forced to cook their
meals over a one-burner gas plate in
a squalid room.
Announced Engagement.
About a month ago slie announced
her engagement to Joseph J. Steven
son. an electrical contractor. She
said she would marry a man as physi
cally perfect as she.
Applications poured In by the thou
sand. She sifted the photographs and
Stevenson was her choice.
A controversy has been going on
in the London Times as to why A. S.
M riutehinson’s novel. "If Winter
Comes,” has been so popular. The
consensus seems to he that it is a
sort of British Harold Bell Wright
production.
From the Indianapolis News.
“The postoffice,” declares Charles W.
Kllot, Is emphatically a public welfare
department." And not. as it appears to
the political Imagination, a department
for the welfare of public men. or those
who want to be public men, instead of
working tor a living.

pending hospital treatment the two
chorus girls who allege brutal treat
ment at the hands of the tnen tn the
party were suspended from the "Last
Waltz" show.
A list of the men said to have at
tended the revel promises to fulfill the
girl's prophecy of a surprise. They
are said to be: A prominent Back
bay physician; two naval officers;
"Benny" Kabatznlck, art dealer; Ben
Llepstc, Kabatnick’s relative: J. Klein
and William F. Fitzgerald, son of a
prominent banker.
Sorry for Merilynn.
"I am awfully sorry Merilynn Mil
ler's name has been mentioned In this
matter,” Miss Lascar said. "Miss
Miller is a lovely girl and had abso
lutely nothing to do with the party.
Just because she gave photographs of
herself with endearing autographs to
that Kabatznlck man Is no reason
why any one should breathe the pos
sibility that a nice girl like her was
present at that terrlrble party.
"I believe the story go out through
Miss Mitchell, the one who got fired
because of the publicity. Marie and
I had no intention of hushing It up
but we were too ill to do a thing until
now.
“We are not looking for money but
we do want Justice. Almost every
man in the party helped in the brutal
treatment Marie and I got."
Just why Miss Miller should choose
the time of the expose of the party in
which she did not participate, to an
nounce her engagement to Jack Pick
ford, the film star, la not clear. An
intimate of Miss Miller said:
“I guess she Just forgot herself in
the excitement, although I have no
doubt that her report at the engage
