LOST 5 YEARS TAMPA BOY
FOUND IN INSANE ASYLUM
TAMPA, Fla., Sept. SO.Mrs. Emma
C. Cline, of this city, after a search
of more than three years for her sno,
Joseph Cline, who served wit h the
American naval air forces in France
during the war, has found the youth,
according to word received here by
friends.
Joseph enlisted in 1917 and was
sent to the naval air station at Pen
sacola for training. From Pensacola
he went to France and his mother
had letters from him regularly for a
time. Then they .-topped coming. A
search of navy department records
failed to show him in the casualty list
and further investigation developed
than as an ensign he had resigned ia
1920.
Two years ago Mrs. Cline learnt-1
that he was employed as chauffeur
by a family in Cleveiandti Ohio, and
she solocited the aid of the Ameri
can Red Cross. Word came that ha
had left his position.
• He. next, was located in the naval
service station at San Diego, Cai.,
but upon being interviewed by Red
Cross officials denied he /ver had
been in Florida and said the woman
in search of him apparently was <lll
imposter. Finger prins established j
his identification and his actions led
officials to believe, hm to be of un
sound nind.
Mrs. Cling was advised recently 1
that he was to be discharged frpm the i
navy at Chicago and she went to that :
city. She finally found her boy in th?
hospital at Elgin. Although itmane,
he recognized her.

ABOVENUMBER
THATISNEEDED
Bill, Vetoed As Unsound, By
President Harding Now Be
fore Senate
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.
The house passed the soldiers bo
nus bill today over the president’s
veto. ihe vote was 258 to 54.
or fifty more than the necessary
two-thirds majority.
Mr. Harding in vetoing the bill
yesterday, set forth 4 number of
reasons lor returning the bill to the
house without his approval, fhese
included:
Reason- for Veto.
Failure of congress to provide a
means of financing.
That inevitably the bonus would
mean increased taxation.
That the legislation would wipe
out everything thus far accomplish
ed to reduce government expendi
tures wherever possible.
That a peace bestowal on the cx
serviee men was “a perversion of
public funds" and suggested “that
future defense is to be inspired by
compensation rather than conscious
ness of duty to flag and country.”
That to add one-sixth of the total,
sum of the. public debt for distribu
tion among le. : than 5,000,000 of
110,000,000 people would undermine
confidence on which the nation’s
; credit was builefed, and “establish.
‘ the precedent of distributing public
i funds whenever the proposal and the
‘ numbers affected' make it seem po
-1 litieally appealing to do so.”
Would Mean Borrowing.
That the $1,000,000,000 of ma
turing public debt in the next six
years would be difficult to meet
without adding the complication of
added borrowings on account of the
bonus.
That the adjusted certificates plan
of payment with its banks and gov
ernment loans was little less than a
certified inability of the government
to pay a “practice of sacrificial bar
ter” by the veterans.
That the bonus would not dimin
ish the later obligation in the way
of pensions to the World War vet
erans.
