ning October 1.
Washington, Sept. 16 Issue prices

be increased effective October 1, it
was announced last night by Secre
tary Mellon, to $20.50 for the $25
certificates, $85 for the $100 certifi

said, "treasury savings certificates
will yield about 4 per cent com
pounded semi-annually if held to ma
turity and about 3 per cent simple
interest if redeemed before maturity."
The new certificates, he stated,
will be dated September 30, 1922, to
distinguish them from the certificates
on sale at $20, $80 and $800, respec
tively, and are dated December IS,
1921. These certificates, which bear
interest at A'i per cent, will be with
drawn from sale on September 30,

ings stamps, noninterest bearing,
which are now on sale.

Nominee for Coveno
an Its Own.
j Walthill, Neb.. Sept. 16 (Special
j Telegram.) This srrtiou of the
! North I'laite country opened the
' gates to one of its own today.
A rousing welcome was acconlrd
Senator Charles II. Kandall, rctiiih
lican nominee for governor, on the
last day of the Thurston county fair,
lie spoke from an open automobile
in front of the grandstand and after
a short and '.traight forward talk on
taxes and other issues of the day, he
sat on a bench anrl watched the bull
game between Hosalie and Deca
tur. The republican candidate was
among friends who recognize no
parly line in the gubernatorial race.
Jhc slogan is 1X) per rent for Ran
dall, and democrats joined with re
publicans in extending a fine wel
come. "There is a phae of the business
situation," said Senator Randall,
"which, if possible, I desire to em
phasize. There can be no return to
business conditions that are funda
mentally sound until agriculture is
restored to a prosperous basis, by
restoring the purchasing power of the
farmer."
Strikes at Propaganda.
The speaker hit from the shoulder
at so-called deflation propaganda be
ing circulated by the opposing party.
He explained that every member of
the federal reserve board was ap
pointed under the Wilson adminis
tration. The so-called deflation order was
issued in May, 1920, before the na
tional republican platform was
adopted, he said.
Will Cut Taxes.
Mr. Randall said that the amount
written in the 1922 tax receipt will
be one-third less than in the 1921
receipt on state Maxes. A further
and considerable reduction, he said,
can be anticipated for 1923, lie in
dicated . where and how the taxes
can be brought back to the 1917
basis very shortly. ,
Upon his arrival here by automo
bile from Pender, Senator Randall
was given an informal reception at
his hotel. Among those at the
tables were Maj. C, P. Mathewson,
G. G. Griffin, R. Brody, C. F.

Labor Plans Attack
on U. S. Supreme Court
Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 16. The
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor yesterday an
nounced that it had drawn a pro
posed amendment to the constitu
tion of the United States aiming to
put into the hands of congress
powers which bave been usurped
by the supreme court, an arbitrary,
autocracy bureaucracy of five men."
The proposed amendment was
framed at this time as a direct result
of Attorney General Daugherty's
court action against the rail shop
craits, according to labor leaders.
Under the terms of the contemplat
ed amendment as drawn by the fed
eration council, "the United States
supreme court will have the power to
review an act of congress and to de
clare such an act unconstitutional.
But in the event congress for a sec
ond time enacts the legislation in
question, it will be bevond the power
of the court and will stand as th
final and unassailable law of the
land."

Harding lo
Veto Bonus,
Is Report
Senate Leaders Informed of
Preaiilcnt's Staml Vigorous
Statement of Reasons Is
Kxpet teJ Tuesday.
Poll ShoTBill Lost
Washington, Sept 16. Informa
tion that President Harding had
made tip his mind definitely to veto
the soldiers' bonus bill reached sen
ate leader lodav from some of his
close adviser. They 4id bis mes
sage of disapproval would be sent
to the house Tuesday.
After receiving this word, the ma
I only leailrs nude an informal pre
nninary canvass of the senate,
fthich was said to have shown 34
votes against over riding a veto, or
two more than the number necessary
to prevent tiniil enactment of the
bonus legislation,
Result in Doubt
The margin was understood, how
ever, to be regarded by some friend
of the president to be too narrow
and they expected Mr. Hardmtf to
call several senators to the White
Mouse before Tuesday for a discus
sion of the situation. With many
senator absent from Washington,
it was asserted by some that it was
difficult to judge senate sentiment
at this time.
Many of these absentees, it was
stated, could not possibly get back
lo Washington in lime to vote. Five
senators are in Europe, while four
others are in the west. Several
others would be detained bv their
own illness or that of members of
their families. Kvery effort will be
made to pair absentees, but it was
explained that it in in lit not be pos
sible to pair all ol them, anrt it was
conceded that the absence of pair
in even a few cases might have a
material effect on the outcome.
Expect Vigorous Message.
Mr. Harding's advisers expect him
to set forth in vigorous manner his
rcsons for a veto. From the first
he baa insisted that bonus legisla
tion should not carry t method of
financing it, and he also has voiced
disapproval of "piece meal" payment
to the worm war veterans, declar
ing that it would be better to post
pone payment than to make it in
such a manner.
Should the bonus be returned to
the house, manager there planned
to move promtply to pass it over
the veto. The general belief at the
capital was that far more than the
necessary two-thirds majority would
be obtained there to override the
veto.
The bonus bill, bearing the signa
tures of Speaker Gillett and Presi
dent Pro Tempore Cummins of the
senate, was taken to the White House
late today. Just before the bonus
reached the White 1 (house, there wai
presented at the executive offices a
rcpuest to the president from the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States to veto the bill.

Attempt Made to
Set Potash Price
by Fixing Supply
French and German Magnates
Seeking to Control Output
ly Agreement at
Conference.
Chleaau Trlliuna Korrlna Hrrvle.
Paris, Sept. 16. Kvery farmer in
America will probably pay more for
hit potash this autumn, thus boosting
the cost of living in the United States,
if a conference between French and
German potash magnates now going
on at The Hague is successful.
The two potash groups, which
practically control the potash supply
of the world, are now anxious to co
operate in order lo set prices and di
vide territory, an American potash
expert in France stated yesterday.
There are other potash deposits in
the world but none that can be ex
ploited so cheaply as the German and
Alsatian mines.
Hoped to Undersell.
The first attempt of German and
Alsatian potash interests to co-operate
led to a meeting at The Hague in
June, but failed because the Ger
man then hoped to undersell the
French on account of the collapse of
the mark. The French then threat
ened to meet any German price.
It is now reported that Ilcrr Forth -matin,
representing the German pot
ash syndicate, and M. I.ouis Mercicr,
representing the Alsatian company
are now reaching an agreement.
Leading French industrial news
papers are alarmed at the fear of
higher prices for French consumers.
Ownership in Doubt.
Ownership of the Alsatian nnta-h
deposits, which have been under se
itifstratiuii since the armistice, ' i
somewhat in doubt "d it is feared
that when the question comes before
parliament the latter will ;ilo be
faced with a fail accompli in the
shape of an agreement with German
interests.

American Relief Is
Planned in Smyrna
Washington, Sept. 16. The United
States government, apprehensive
over the threatening situation in
Asia Minor, took official action for
relief of refugees in Smyrna and
other parts of the endangered terri
tory. Determining after consultation
with officials of the Red Cross and
the Near Fast relief that the situa
tion was beyond the scope of private
charity, acting Secretary of Stale
Phillips cabled Admiral Bristol,
American high commissioner at Con
stantinople to co-operate with the
allied governments in working out a
comprehensive plan for meeting the
emergency.
It was made clear at the State de
partment that the efforts of this gov
ernment would be confined to aiding
the nourombatants and that nothing
would be done to involve the United
States jn the political phase of the
conflict between Turkey and Greece.

Turkish Victory
Entire Mordent Population of
Constantinople Offers Pray

Greeks Leaving.
Constantinople, Sept. 16. (By A.
r.) Renewed celebrations were
held throughout Asia Minor to mark
the sweeping Turkish victory over
the Greeks, Friday is the Turkish
Sunday and the entire Moslem pop
ulation ceased its usual pursuits and
repaired to the mosques to offer
prayers of thanksgiving to Allah.
For the first time since 145.1,
when the Turks captured Constanti
nople, the sultan went to the tomb
of Mohammed the Courjucror in
Stambnnl and paid homage to the
memory of his illustrious predeces
sor. Several miles of exulting and
jubilant Turks with flaming flags
watched their sovereign pass. He
made the trip in an American lim
ousine. Salutes Americans.
The sultan's passage through the
open streets has had no precedent in
recent years, and the people gave
him a stirring but reverent ovation.
Heretofore he has confined himself
to the palace at Yildez, and ob
served as much privacy as the pope
in the Vatican.
Americans who attended the cere
mony in Stamboul observed that the
sultan, although thin and slightly
bent, appeared alert and vigorous.
He saluted the group of Ameri
can visitors pleasantly as he emerged
from prayer.
Forest of Crimson Flags.
Constantinople is n forest of crim
son llags with the familiar star and
crescent, The colors even fly from
the four commanding minarets of
the famous mosque of Sophiha.
A wave of enthusiasm has swept
over the Tuiks and everywhere one
heais the declaration (bat the Chris-
tians must be driven out and the an-
ctent Rlory ol the capital re-established.

Prepare for War.
London, Sept. 16. (By A. P.)
With British troos enertnehiug at.
strategic points on the Dardanelles,
Franch and Italian battalions rush
ing to join them, and from far .New
Zealand word that an Anzc con
tingent will be dispatched to the
scenes of their heroic sacrifices in
the late war, to assist in dealing with
the Turkish nationalists, there has
l.ccn a swift carrying ioto effect of
the allied pronounceme 't regarding
a firm determination to preserve the
freedom of the Dardanelles and the
Bosphorus.
The British troops are supported
by heavy artillery and backed by
the fleet, and officials here are con
fident that the combined allid land
and sea forces, which are declared to
be prepared for any eventuality, can
hold Constantinople against all odds.
The Turks having bombarded the
last departing Green transports from
the Chcsme peninsula, despite the
British appeal for mercy on the
ground that the Greeks were help
less and no longer combatants, Mus
tapha Kcmal Pasha is now supreme
over all Anatolia, but has as yet
made no direct move toward Con
stantinople or the straits, and the
warnings, which the allies have voiced
throughout p;urope and the near cast,
may have served their purpose.
Smyrna New Shambles.
Smyrna, which last month was the
center of Greek rule, is a shambles,
with fire raging for three days and
continuing, but diminished in vio
lence. Only the Moslem quarter hat
escaped.
Thousands have suffered death
and outrages at the hands of the
Turks, and thousands, helpless in
the hospitals, were burned to death.
The half-crazed population and ref
ugees are suffering indescribable
misery. Six lone American rc&f
workers are attcmplin? the ' super
human task of administering to the
dead and dying.
This evening the British foreign
office had received no news of lo.ss
of life among British subjects.
