I Washingtori.~»President Harding ve toed the soldiers’ bonus bill, inform. ! ing congress in a written message that Mg be was in accord with “the [avowed purpose” of the measure be did inot subscribe to its provisions. The executive action was regarded generally in Washington as making im probable a bonus for the world war iveterans, at least for some time to come, as it appears to be almost cer tain that the veto will be sustained jby the senate. A vote in the house ■has been planned already, with the Senate to follow later on the same day ! tbe house votes. Mr. Harding set forth a number of reasons for returning the bill to the Choirne without bis approval—these in cluded: . 1. Failtire of congress to provide a means of financing. / <3 That inevitably the bonus would mean increased taxation. - 8. That the legislation would^wipe jout everything thus far accomplished to reduce . government expenditures .wherever possible. 4. That a peace bestowal on the ex- jservice men was “a perversion of pub lic funds” and suggested “that future defense i3 to he inspired by compensa tion rather than consciousness of duty !to flag and country.” ,'| 5. That to add one-sixth of. the total sum of the public debt for distribu tion among less than five million of 110,000,000 people would undermine confidence on which the nation’s cred it is builded, and "establish the pre cedent of disrupting public funds when ever the proposal and the numbers af fected make It seem politically appeal ing to do so.” 6. Tftat the $10,000,000,000 of matur ing public debt in the next six years would be difficult to meet without add ing the cpraplicatio". of added borrow ings on account of a bonus. - I 7. That the^ad justed certifwate plan of payment with its bank and govern ment lqans was little less than a cer tified inability of the government to pay and a "practice of sacrificial bar ter” by the veterans. 5. That the bonus would not dimim isli the later obligation in'the way of pensions to the world war veterans. Asserting, .flint this obligation would "cost more billions than I venture to suggest,” the president declared that "a national financing policy is neces sary to make the nation ready for the expenditure which is certain to be re quired in the coming years.” - Woman Is Charged With Death Plot Huntington, W. Van—A hearing to de termine the sanity of Mrs. Laura Price Bowman, charged with conspiracy to kill her second husband, will be held shortly, it has been announced.

I , /Washington.—Officials of the South ern railway and representatives of the union shoft craft3 of that system signed the) Warfield-Willard-Jewell agreement.
