M'SOOO SAYS 11. S.
MS REDUCE TAXES
ID PAY BONUS TOO
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—William
G. McAdoo, secretary of the treas
ury in President Wilson’s cabinet,
is convinced the federal government
can both reduce federal taxation
and provide soldiers’ compensation,
equivalent to a bonus, he declared in
a statement made public yesterday.
The statement, which was made
at the telegraphic request of the
Literary Digest, in which it will be
published next week, added that the
bonus question “should long ago
have been taken out of politics and
in no circumstances should be used
for political advantage.”
‘‘We can have tax reduction and
do justice to the American soldier
as well,” Mr. McAdoo says, “by
treating adjusted compensation as a
part of the war cost and funding it
through an issue of fifty-year bonds.
The interest and sinking fund
charge should not exceed eighty to
ninety million dollars per annum.
This would not prevent a reduction
in taxes.
“The men who served in the
trenches got sl.lO per day; those in
the reserves in America got $1 per
day. If the American people believe
it was worth $2.35 per day to serve
in the trenches and $2 per day to
serve in the reserves in America,
then the difference between these
rates and what the soldiers have
received should be paid as an act of
justice.
“We gave more than 500,000 civil
employes of the government during
the war a bonus of $240 per annum
and this has continued for more
than five years. Is it less right to
give the men who fought the war
equal consideration? . . • Justice
must never be measured in dollars;
it must be measuned only in righ
teousness and humanity.”
The statement was given in an
swer to a request for Mr. McAdoo’s
opinion of Secretary Mellon’s recent
statement on the soldier bonus and
tax reduction. _
Gotham Disappointed
i When Dinosaur Eggs
Prove to Be Small
NEW YORK, Npv. 16—Laymen
who see the dinosaur eggs, ten mil
lion years old, which the Roy Chap
man Andrews Asiatic exposition has
placed on exhibition at the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History, are
disappointed at the small size.
The eggs are from six to eight
inches long.
1 Mr. Andrews said the exposition
hoped to discover some trace of pre
historic man on the next trip by
getting to a stratum of proper age-
He said the lives of members of
the exposition in Mongolia were
constantly menaced by man-eating
dogs, which attacked human beings
on sight and without provocation.
Thousands of these animals, char
acterized as the fiercest creatures in
the entire world, live on nothing but
human flesh, devouring all the Mon
gol dead whose bodies are thrown
to them in lieu of burial, Mr. An
drews asserted.
Members of the exposition, on
three occasions narrowly escaped
death from these animals, he said.
Professor Charles P. Berky. chief
geologist, at one time was attacked
by three dogs, and only saved him
self by having his revolver handy.
Packs of dogs twice attacked tents
of the party at night, Mr. Andrews
added, forcing the occupants to open
fire which endangered the lives of
other members of the party.

Taste for Alcohol
Acquired, Not Basic,
Says Dr. W. J. Mayo
BOSTON, Nov. 16.—The taste for
alcoholic liquor is acquired and is
not basic, and so long as the United
States has an adequate supply of
pure water there exists no real rea
son why prohibition should leave the
land, according to Dr. William J.
Mayo, of Rochester, Minn., noted
surgeon and physician.
“The native American Anglo-
Saxon blood is a water drinker by
nature,” Dr. Mayo said. ‘‘The boot
leggers and traffickers in illicit
liquor are usual of continental Eu
ropean blood.”
“In the older countries of Europe,
water is so unsafe that the prudent
traveler drinks the native wine and
beer as being the lesser of the two
evils.
“These countries cannot hope to
have prohibition until their sources
of water supply are above rfeproach.”
Sawmill Boss Hauls
Slay er and Slam
Aboard Same Truck
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., Nov. 16.
When the owner of *a sawmill just

man wrapped in a pile of blankets.
“He’s dead,” was the surprising re
ply.
It developed that the negro had
been killed in a row at the sawmill.
The negro who had killed him also
was aboard the truck. The driver
was carrying the body of the dead
man to his home in Hancock county,
and it is presumed that he was going
to turn his assailant over to the au
thorities there.

Santee River Bridge
Will Be Completed
Before January 1
COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 17.—Com
pletion of the Santee river bridge on
the Atlantic Coastal highway is as
sured before the first of the year,
according to a statement made here
today by Charles H. Moorefield,
chief engineer for the state highway
department. The chances are good
that the structure, said to be the
m<> u ettntious rural in-inre in the
south, will be open to traffic before
January 1, Mr. Moorefield declared.
The bridge itself is finished, except
for the laying of the asphalt paving
on the driveway, which is well under
way. The roads and approaches are
nearing completion.
The Santee bridge, according to the
highway engineer, will shorten the
distance between Florence and
Charleston more than half. At pres
p-’t . aic ween the Gate City and
the City by the Sea is compelled to
come by Columbia, making the total
distance 2 1 5 n.iles. Wi the open
ing of the new bridge, the distance
will be cut to approximately’ 106
miles.
The opening of the Santee bridge
will open up a new route between
Columbia and Charleston, also, it
was pointed out, although it will be
about twenty miles longer than the
present route, state highway No. 2,
and there will be no particular ad
vantage to be derived from the new
route, so fgr as through travel is
concerned. However, if desired, traf
fic can go bet _n the capital and
Charleston byway of Sumter and
Manning, the distance being 142
miles, compared to 122 miles byway
of Orangeburg.
Th intee river bridge, including
the fills, when completed will have
cost $850,000 in round figures. The
cost was divided among Williams
burg, Berkeley and Charleston coun
ties, under an arrangement author
ized by the general assembly of 1920.
Plans for a celebration of the open
ing of the bridge, according to .in
formation here, have been changed.
Originally it was decided to hold pub
lic exercises at the time the structure
was thrown open to traffic, but it
is now planned to hold the public
some time next spring
when the chances of having good
weather will be better than in the
winter.
Arrest of All Citizens
With Bulging Pockets
Ordered in Louisiana
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 18.—O. D,
Jackson, federal prohibition enforce
ment director for Louisiana, late
Saturday ordered men to arrest any
person with a suspicious bulge in

picious package. “Place them un
der arrest, take them to a police
station and search them,” were the
instructions. “If you find liquor
upon them, prefer charges of violat
ing the prohibition law.”
Persons cannot be searched on the
spot of their arrest without a
search warrant, but they can be
searched when placed under arrest
and taken to a police station, Mr.
Jackson said.
United States Attorney Lewis H.
Burns said the only recourse a per
son upon whom no liquor was found
would have to be a suit for damages
agai nst the man making the arrest.

NEWCORRUPTION
■GES USE FILED
AGAINST FORBES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—Elias
H. Mortimer, star witness against
Charles R. Forbes, took the stan.l
again last ni before senate vet
erans' committee, third session of the
day, to renew his charges an<j to
present new ones.
Chairman Rted announced that
James S. Easby-Smith, counsel for
Forbes, would not be permitted tu
cross-examine Mortimer, but, as has
been the custom, the chairman put
to the witness questions prepared
by Easby-Smith.
Offers New Letters
Examined by John F. O’Ryan, gen
eral counsel for the committee, Mor
timer said he had been able to lo
cate since he last appeared on the
stand a number of letters and tele
grams relating to charges in his pre
vious testimony.
One of the first papers read was
a letter addressed to “My Dear Kath
erine and Mort." It said:
“You will see by inclosed that
June 1 was best I could do. Will
keep you advised and hope you will
give me a ride some time. You cer
tainly have been generous with your
car. With love to you both.
“J ACK."
Mortimer said this was from J.
W. Thompson, of the Thompson-
Black Construction company, of Chi
cago, who was seeking government
contracts at that time.
“On the strength of promises made
to Thompson by Forbes about gov
ernment,” said Mortimer, “he had
promised Mrs. Mortimer an expen
sive car. She was in the west about
the time the car was ready and I
know the car never was delivered.”
A telegram sent from Washington
on March 28, 1922, and addressed to
E. H. Mortimer at the Waldorf-As
toria hotel, New York, and signed
“Katherine,” said:
“Colonel left 1:05 p. m. Be at
Wentworth.”
Mortimer said the telegram was
sent by his wife.
“Forbes decided when we first be
gan talk.. _ about these contracts,”
Mortimer said, “the t it would be bet
ter for us no; > be seen ngether in
Washington too much.
“I went to .sew York and she let
i e know whe.. ..e would be there.’’
O Ryan then put in the record a
number of t egrams between James
W- I , of the i.Hampson-Black
.'irpaii, and ortiiu—., mr the pur
pose, it was explained, of showing
that Mortimer did have business re
lations with Black.
"Scotch’’ Aiiuy Mobilized
“One of the telegrams was dated
at Seattle on July 4, 1922, signed,
“James W. Black,” and addressed to
Mortimer at San Francisco.
“Will have all of the Scotch gen
eral when you arrive here with Gen
eral Haig in command,” said the
telegram. There was also inquiry
as to when Mortimer would reach
Seattle.
’ irtimer was in San
Francisco with Forbes and his off!-
c I party and Mortimer said the ar
rangement was to meet Black at
Seattle, which they did.
Were all the Scotch generals
there?” asked Senator Reed.
“Yes.” Mortimer responded.
Another telegram dated at Seat
nt Jul .y 26, 19221 signed “James W.
Black,” and addressed to Mortimer
at Washington, said:
“When will you be here? Anv
news?"
This was after the Pacific coast
trip on which Mortimer said a code
for use of hinfself, the contractors
and others had been agreed upon
in connection with communications
relating to hospitals.
Another telegram signed “Jones,”
dated at Omaha on August 10, and
addressed to Mortimer, said:
"Will meet you in Minneapolis
Tuesday.”
Mortimer testified that this tele
gram was from Black, that he had
reminded Black later that his code
name was “Briscoe,” and that he
had replied that at his age names
meant no difference; “that one was
as good as another."
The witness said he met Black in
Minneapolis and that the conference
had to do with the hospital at St
Cloud, Minn., which Mortimer prs
viously testified was one of those to
be included in the “split” of western
hospital work between the Thomp
s.on-Black company and the Hurley-
Mason company

Six Baby Apple Trees
Healthy, vigorous little “baby trees” that grow rapidly
nto large, heavy-cropping trees. They are prodaiced by
"rafting a branch from a fruit tree to a healthy one-year
root, and tying the union with waxed twine. '1 hough
less than a foot in length, they take root shortly after being
planted and make wonderfully rapid growth when given the
care they deserve. Wa will send; Two Genuine Delicious —

pendable variety Is a favorite for every purpose, wherever
pears are grown. Os incomparable flavor when fully ripe.
Four Pedigreed Grape Vines
Selected year-old Concord vines from the famous South
jrn Michigan grape belt, where the variety has been grown,
and perfected for the last half century, and where the vines
have been bred up to an average yield of a bushel of the
finest table grapes to every vine. The Concord is hardy and
will thrive in locations where many other varieties cannot be
growm. The vines we will send you are selected mailing
size stock; with plenty of roots to start off with vigorous
growth. They fruit the third year and reach full size in
five, after which, with proper care, you can depend upon
your bushel of choicest grapes from every vine, and you can
make cuttings which will give you a vineyard of any size
you desire.
Eight Vigorous Lucretia Dewberry Vines
As the Dewberry produces a good crop the next summer
after being planted, they are ideal to plant with grapes.
While waiting for your grapes to come into bearing, the
dewberry vines will furnish immense clusters of shining
black, melting, juicy berries. As a source of delicious fruit
juice the Dewberry is giving the Concord grape a close race,
as the Dewberry juice is as good as grape juice, and the
crop Is cheaper to grow. Eight of our vines in your garden
will give you a good annual supply of this splendid berry,
and you will have every year from twenty to fifty new plants
to re-set or to sell to your neighbors.
