Und*r Art rt Mrtth 3, 1873. ___. I Coolidge fs Likely to * V eto Bonus Majority in Senate Expected to Sustain President in Refusal to Sign Hill. Mellon’s Power Shown . By MARK SI I.LIV \N. Washington. Nov. J4.—The bonus depends wholly upon President Cool idge. It can be taken completely for granted that Secretary Mellon's pro nouncement In favor of tax reduction and against the bonus was seen by < 'oolidge before it was made public. No cabinet member would give out so important a statement without the Ijg^tevinus approval of bis chief. It is commonly assumed that the i oxt stage will appear in the presi di nt's message at the opening of con gress. While this is in the futile held of trying to surmise what is in another man's mind, it may readily turn out that this assumption is in correct. Tlie anticipation about Cool idge' j message, based on his known habit of mind, is that he wll! . ?al Willi pending business. The soldiers’ bonus is not pending business. And is not up to Coolidge for action or utterance. After con gress lias been in session some time i lie bonus bill will undoubtedly pass both houses. Thereafter it will go to Coolidge for signature or veto. If i'oolidge vetoes it-w ill then go back to congress to seek the two-thirds majority ’necessary to pass It over the president's veto. Won't Overndgc veto. The common assumption in Wash ington is that there are enough votes in favor of the bonus to pass it over »'oolidge’s veto. But your correspond rnt ventures to doubt this. If Cool idge vetoes the bonus it will turn . ut that there will be the necessary 32 votes in. the senate to sustain the veto. The anti-bonus leaders in the senate, like Borah, republican, and Glass, democrat, are men of great ability, and. when their interest is aroused, of extraordinary energy. Under the leadership of men like tins It may tot be easy, but It will tie possible and probable that the necessary 3: senators can Ire brought together. Last year the anti bonus ^^^H.iders in iho senate started wtih a mere handful of ]U or 11 and built It up to I he necessary third. W hether Coolidge vetoes the bond* or not will depend on the form In which it comes to him. This again is in the field of surmise. But there is a general feeling that Coolldge's po sition on tlie bonus Is quite similar to Harding's latest position, namely, that he is against the bonus unless it is accompanied by specific taxa tion for this particular purpose. nticipating this attitude on the bonus one school of hought proposed that it shall be paid by means of a Doubt Tax Measure. The other Is that the bonus shall be paid by a specific .sales tax. Neither of ttiese is popular, and while a majority of congress is com mitted to the bonus, it is by no means certain that the same ma jority would vqje In favor of the taxation to go with the Ismus. What ever Coolidge does is bound to be consistent with Mellon's sense of responsibility as secretary of the treasury. It was Mellon, chiefly, W'ho ‘ a used Harding to veto the bonus bill be fore. Mellon's steady growth in repuation lias enlisted for him such a following, both am ng republican leaders and among th< larger public, that any president would hesitate to run directly counter to it. In spite of his quiet way, or because of it. Mellon has come to be a very large figure in the republican party and in lie business world. *That there should ever 1* any di rect conflict between he president and bis secretary of the treasury is, of course, fantastic. Hut in the event of any such fantastic hypoth esis. It would probably be possible to say that Secretary Mellon has come to have such a standing with leaders of the republican party and with business men that Coolidge. quite conceivably, could not be re nominated If he were following a program openly disapproved by -dr. Mellon. Of course no such conflict will ever occur. I Parties Oppose llonus. While a majority of laith houses of congress has committed Itself to the bonus, the members have done, so chiefly in the spirit or placating lit (Tirrn to !•««« Two. Column Two.)

The Tariff to Aid Wheat Is Pressed Senator Kendrick, Wyoming, Democrat, Urges Omaha Plan on President < loolidge. Idea Interests Congress Washington, Nov. 14.—The plan proposed by Nelson B. Updike of Omaha for immediate relief of the middle west wheat farmer through action, in the power of President Coolidge, to increase the tariff on wheat and thus shut out Canadian wheat from the American market, is gaining strength among repreaenta tlves and senators from the middle west. Probably the most enthusiastic proponent of this plan is Senator J. B. Kendrick of Wyoming, a demo crat. Senator Kendrick is not only for a higher wheat tariff at heart— he has openly advocated It and in a recent conference with President CvOlldge has informed the president that a tariff on wheat is the only salvation at this time for the middle west farmer. As the senator was on his way to Washington last week from Wyoming he stopped at Omaha and visited Mr. Updike. While there Mr. Updike out lined his iilan. "Hire's the way I look at a proposi tion of this de«c riptlon,” Senator Kendrick said. "I am primarily a cattle man and T do not wish to be conceited when I say that I believe I know as well as any man in Wash ington or the east Just what is needed for the cattle industry of this coun try. "Mr. Updike is primarily a grain man. He has made a wonderful suc cess in the grain business, and I be lieve that if any one understands what is needed for the middle west grain farmers, it Is Mr. Updike. Therefore I have every confidence In Mr. I jxitke's judgment and am will ing to abide by It. ‘ I am wlllirg to do everything In my power, regardless of party poli tics, to put over a higher tariff on wheat, as I believe it Is the only way in which Immediate relief can lie af forded t ire stricken wheat farmer of the middle west. The tariff is a busi ness proposition and must be taken out of politics." The same sentiments were express ed today by Senator Warren of Wyo ming, who is a republican, and simi lar expressions have been made by Senator It. H. Howell of Nebraska and Senator Arthur Capper of Kan tfcllf. liquid sold by bootleggers Is either poison, or doctored booze. Even a bootlegger. Interviewed last night, ad mitted that the liquor sold here is adulterated. ‘‘There is some booze being sold here which is brought in from Tana da and Mexico, but it isn’t the real goods,” observed Robert Samardick, general prohibition agent. “The bootleggers themselves are being double-crossed by agents in these countries. Doctored liquor isn't hard to get, and the jfoisoned stuff Is more plentiful, but pure whisky isn't to be hed." Admits I.iquor Adulterated. An Omaha bootlegger, who brings in liquor from Canada and Mexico, admitted that his goods had been "doctored,” but denied that it was poisoned. "The liquor coming in from these countries has been watered, but It Is not redistilled alcohol. The product is harmless, more so In fact than real whisky, because It lacks the strength," he said. .^00 Tests Fail to Produce One Ounce of Whiskv State Chemist Tells of Foreign Substances Found in All Liquor Examined—Fusel Oil Runs High. Staff I orrespnndent of The Omni'* Bee. Lincoln, Nov. 14.—If the examina tion of whisky confiscated In Nebras ka by enforcement officers means anything. A. B. Macdonald will re tain the $600 that he offered In Oma ha yesterday to anyone who can prove that he can buy a bottle of real whisky. * Since January 1, R. G. Batty, chemist in the employ of- the state department of foods, drugs, and oils, has analyzed some 500 samples of confiscated liquor, and In not a sin gle Instance has It proved to be real stuff. "The nearest we have come to It, Hatty said today, "was In a sample that had been allowed to age six months In a charred, oak cask, hut even that was nothing more than superior 'moonshine.' " According to Batty, the solid mat ter In whisky examined has never run less than 5 per cent, whereas solid matter In first-class bourbon whisky, manufactured prior to prohibition, never exceeds .3 per cent. "We have hail some samples,” Hatty continued, "that smelled like the real article, but analysla showed that they were colored with caramel or burnt sugar. As for fusel oil. It wiB test ss high as 2 per cent and l ight year-old Scotch runs around two-tenth of 1 per cent.” Batty admitted that corn whisky, made by an expert and allowed to properly age In wine casks, might, after a period of time, develop into good whisky, but that no such article had yet been submitted to him by enforcement officers for examination. The tables In Batty's laboratory are groaning under the weight of numer ous bottles and Jugs that have been sent to him for analysis. The con tainers run from small medicine bot tles, with lnbels advising a teaspoon ful every two hours, to tightly corked catsup bottles. Over In one corner stands three tins of malt extract that hava bulged the metal so bgdly that Batty fears an explosion. Beside I hem are half h dozen bottles of home-made beer that may go off one of thKse days.

Speaking about the $500 reward for some pure liquor, there are a few things I'd like to know. First, how much pure liquor do I get for the $500. Second, how nnlch do I have to supply for the $500? How do I have to split with the official tester? Fourth, what's the chance of getting the Job us tester? Fifth, who's got $500? Sixth, where can I get 1500 In '-use somebody shows up with a compensating amount of the pure quill? The last question Is the most Important.

Berlin, Nov. 14.—After Novembe rs Germany no longer will be able t meet the drain upon its exuhequei for the payment of unemployrneni dole* in the Ruhr and the Rhineland and will then set both these regions adrift, permitting them to shift for themselves. This direct statement was made in official quarters here tonight London, Nov. 14.—Com plot. < e tion of every kind of reparation my ment by Germany was semi-officially announced tonight, according to a dispatch to the Central News from Berlin. This action wa* taken on the ground tliat the treaty of Versailles had been \ iolated by France and that therefore it could not i>« ole served by Germany. By t nitersal Sentry. Berlin. Nov. 14.—Germany's at tempt at a parliamentary dictatorship is universally declared an utter fail ure. Nothing constructive has been ac complished by placing the extraordi nary powers i nthe hands of Chancel lor Stresemann. Those powers auto matically ceased with the withdrawal of the socialists from the Stresemann cabinet. The relchetag haa bc-~n called to convene next Tuesday for the avowed purpose of burying that dictatorship and digging the grave of Stresemann as chancellor. The nationalists on one hand and the socialists on the other both ex pect to cause Stresemann's fait Tues day or Wednesday with a vote of lack of confidence. All the political parties ate dis satisfied with Stresemann. He re fuses to resign, however, and de. lares that he will stick to his post, pre* ferine to “fail in open battle" In the relohstag. Chancellor Stresemann. conceded to be one of the ablest politicians in Germany, haa not been ible to bring about any economic or po!t*ioa! relief for Germany. It is believed that the next i:rp will be the creation of a triumvirate in which General Von Peeokt will possibly be military dictator, but w .th a non-military man as chancellor.
