SOLDIER BONUS BILL
PUT BEFORE SENATE;
PASSAGE IS CERTAINI
WASHINGTON. April 13.—Final
congressional approval of the legis
lative fiscal program involved in
the soldier bonus and reduction bills
was put to senate Saturday when
the finance committee sent the bo
nus measure on the trail of the rev
enue bill to the-senate floor.
Republican leaders' immediately
called a party conference for Mon
day to determine which measure
would be given priority, while
spokesmen of the two parties prom- •
Ised early action on both bills.
i The bonus measure was approved ;
by the finance committee as passed i
by the house without the formality ,
of a vote. At the same time Chair- ,
man Smoot made public a report |
estimating the revenue bill a»i
framed by the committee would cm

989,444 below the amount of revenue
which will be needed to meet gov
ernment expenses.
This did not take into considera
tion. Mr. Smoot declared, the $135.
000,000 which it is estimated will be
required to meet the cost of tne bo
nus bill next year. The "apparent
deficit” which the revenue bid
would cause, he predicted, would be
offset by increased returns in gov- ,
eminent revenue as a result of the
proposed tax revision.
Despite the dispute over the cost
of the bonus bill and whether funds
will be available to pay for it. its
passage by a comfortable majority
hag been freely predicted. The bill,
which provides for cash payments
to veterans not entitled to more

Senator Simmons, of North Caro
lina, ranking Democrat on the
finance committee, announced to
day he would propose an amend
ment to the bonus bill from the floor
to incorporate an option for tui.
cash payments. This proposal is
expected to have considerable sup |
port, particularly from Democrats.
The revenue bill as sent to the
senate floor would cut revenue re
ceipts next calendar year by $4.,4,
720,000, Chairman Smoot declared in
his report submitted today. Im
house bill, it was estimated, would
Lave cut revenue by $446,000,000.

Eating 1,327 Feet
In Seven Minutes :
KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 11.—
Alfred Scudiero was crowned king
of the spaghetti eaters today. He
took the world’s championship away
from Frank Ruffolo in a close con
test.
Scudiero, bija dark and empty
horse of ths Occasion, inhaled 1,327
feet of the Itlaian hay in seven
minutes, 100 feet better than the
champion’s record.
■Joe Cassano, St. Louis challenger
for the crown, didn't finish. He said
he was unaccustomed to the Kansas
City brand of spaghetti and his
tongue became entangled in the
strands, which were too flexible.
Walter Randazzo, manager for Cas
sano, claimed a foul, contending
that white rubber strands had been
included in the platters of spaghetti
placed in front of his contestant.
JIIsiHSEDIES
WHEN ALITO LEAPS
BRIDGE; TWO HURT
ATHENS, Ga., April 14. —Dr. J.
T. Proctor died from his injuries
Sunday morning.
ATHENS, Ga., April 11. —Miss
Irene Day, a student nurse at St.
Mary’s hospital here, was killed, and
Dr. .1. I’. Proctor, one of the best
known physicians in this section,
and another nurse, Miss Nellie Ever
hard t, were dangerously hurt when
the heavy roadster in which they
were traveling to Jefferson to per
form an emergency operation, crash
ed through the railing on the bridge
oyer the Seaboard railroad on the
Jefferson road, just out of the city
limits last night shortly -after 11
o’clock. The car dropped 30 feet
to the tracks below.
Early reports from the hospital
this morning indicated that Dr.
I Proctor probably would recover, al
though he still was unconscious. It
was said that he had suffered a
broken shoulder and bad bruises
about the head.
The physician-surgeon left the
hospital, of which he is part owner,
with the nurses at 11 o'clock in a
heavy rain. Some time later, the
hospital was called from Jefferson :
to know why the party had not ar- :
rived. Dr. if. M. Fullilove immedi-J
ately instituted a search, but it was]
not until 5 o’clock this morning |
when a freight train crew discover
ed the wrecked automobile on the
tracks under the bridge that the
accident was revealed. It is feared
that lying in the rain several hours
may cause complications in connec
tion with the wounds of Dr. Proc-
I lor and Miss Everhardt.
There is a sharp curve aS the road
approaches the bridge, and it is
thought that the car skidded against
the railing of the bridge, or that
the doctor misjudged the road due
to the rain on his windshield. Dr.
Fullilove brought the doctor and
the injured nurse back to the hos
pital. Miss Day’s body was brought
back by J. G. Bennett.
Miss Day, who was 24 years old,
was a sister of Jessie D. Day, mem
ber of the 22nd infantry at Fort Mc-
Pherson and a granddaughter of J.
W. Day, of Atlanta.
She will be buried at Bethabara
church, in Oconee county. Sunday.
Other survivors are her father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Day,
Watkinsville, a brother, AV. Clarence
Day, of Watkinsville; one sister.
Miss Lois Day, c-2 Athens, and
Emory O. Day, a brother, also ot
Watkinsville.
Miss Everhardt is from Winter
ville, near here. Dr. Proctor is about
50 years old and has a wife and three
I children.

SEES SURE SUCCESS
FDR H DEBT PUS
BERLIN, April 13.—(8y the Asso
ciated Press.) —Dr. Hjalmar Schacht,
president of the Reichsbank and fed
eral commissioner of currency, de
clared Saturday that he viewed the
experts’ report to the reparation
commission as forming a satisfacto
ry basis for reparation settlement
negotiations.,
“The report is essentially an
American document," said Dr.
Schacht, who frequently was called
into consultation by General Dawes
a hjg associates in the investiga
ons.
"It is direct an<J businesslike, and
shows the great influence Messrs.
Dawes, Young and Robinson exert
ed,” he continued, "and in my opin
ion is a satisfactory basis for nego
tiations looking to a settlement of
the reparation program growing out
of five years of war and five years
of post-war wrangling, which have
resulted in wasting five billion gold
marks in occupation costs.
“TJie most essential section of the
report,” Dr. Schacht added, “is
article 3, page 4, which definitely
provides that the military occupa
tion of the Ruhr shall cease. That
section provides for clearing the at
mosphere of politics, sanctions and
military penalties, and overshadows
all other details in importance.”
Way to Discussion Open
“It paves the way for a discussion
of economic problems in a frank,
open, American man-to-man style,
and hope that General D'-twes’ direct
methods will be followed m all the
discussions.
“Coal can not be dug at the point
of bayonets,, and with militarism
eliminated from all the territory not
occupied under the-Versailles treaty
the depression caused by the presence
of foreign troops will be wiped out
and Germany will be able to regain
economic and industrial efficiency.”
Dr. Schacht said there were many
details of the report with which he
was not sympathetic.
He thought the amount asked
from Germany was, too heavy and
declared it a pity that an actual
moratorium was not provided. He
expressed the opinion that foreign
ers were too numerous on the di
rectorate of the new bank of issue
provided in the report, but declared
that all these handicaps could be
overcome if article three were ad
hered to literally.
Asked how long it would require
to place the experts’ recommenda
tions into actual effect, Dr. Schacht
replied that it could be done “in
ninety days or even less.”
The proposal to mortgage the Ger
man railways, he said, was the best
worked out part of the report and
could easily be made effective with
out extensive reorganization.
Exchange Plan Praised
Addressing a committee meeting
of the economic council of the reich
today, Dr. Schacht characterized the
standpoint of the experts that trans
fers of reparations abroad should
only be made when German ex
change would not suffer thereby, as
the keystone of the economic side
of the problem and as at least es
tablishing an automatic settlement
in place of political and military
compulsion.
He the report, despite
the heavy burdens it involved, ;.s
capable of being discussed under
two conditions, first that Germany
should regain her economic free
dom. and second, that in event of
fulfillment being impossible, mili
| tary sanction should not be applied
immediately, but that .there should
, he, instead, a joint consultation be-
I tween experts on both sides.
He asserted that fleeing the rep
aration problem from politics and
i militarism was viewed by the Ger
mans as an excellent thing, and
likely to be ot great importance in
. aiding the resumption of economic
I relations between the nations.
INTER ALLIED DEBT SEEN
AS NEXT FOREIGN PROBLEM
i PARIS, April 13.—The next big
I phase of progress toward a general
settlement of the financial problems
Europe will be the calling' of an
inter-allied conference at which the
question of inter-allied debts and
European debts to the United Slates
will )>e raised.
this was the almost unanimous
belief of French observers as the
nation debated the action of the
reparations commission in accept
mg the Dawes report.
It is known that Premier Poin
are maintains the standpoint that
there cannot be any final settlement
of the reparations problem until the
questions of inter-allied debts and
debts to the United States are set
tled one way or another.
PREMIERS of GERMANY

BERLIN, April 13.—(8y the As
sociated Press.l—Next Monday's
cabinet meeting with the premiers of
the German federal states will de
cide whether the reply to the repara
tions commission on the experts’ re
port shall be made in writing or
orally through a special delegate to
Paris. The majority' of the premiers
appear to favor a written reply.
There is no doubt that the gov
ernment will decide that the reports
forms a basis for negotiations. The
committee of the economic council
ot the reich already has discussed
the report and recommended its ac
ceptance on the lines laid down by-
Dr. Kurt Sorge, of the Krupp com
pany, chairman of the Association
of German Industrialists, in his re
cent statement.

$lO5 for Proof of It
WASHINGTON, April 12—J. Louis

House Saturday to discuss Repub
lican politics and patronage with Bas
com Slemp, secretary to the presi

ing from the executive offices, he
suggested that his picture be taken

had been received. After the snap
shot was made, one of the photog
raphers asked Mr. Philips i* he
would like to come next month to
the banquet to be given by the White
House Photographers’ association,
tickets $5 per plate.
“Sure, I'll come,” said the Georgia
chairman. “Here is five for the din
ner and SIOO more for the photog
raphers’ association general fund.”
He handed over the two bills. Mr.
Philips then explained that when
Johnson made his charges he
(Philips) had agreed to give. SIOO to
any worthy cause if Johnson could
prove them. Now that he had dis
proved them. Philips said, he would
expect Johnson Io give SIOO to some
worthy cause, Philips having paid,
although he. won.

CO-OP MEMBERS
EMPLOY LAWYERS
TO PUSH BIG SOIT
The suit for SIOO,OOO damages
i brought against the Jones Mercan-
I tile company, cotton buyers of Can
■ ton, Ga., alleging slander and libel,
has resulted in unusual develop
ments in two counties in which that
firm does business, according to an
nouncement by the complainant in
the case, the Georgia Cotton Grow
ers' Cooperative association.
These developments were the em-
I ploying by groups of association
\ members of counsel to assist in the
| prosecution of the case.
j Members in Bartow county, act
ing independently of the board of
directors of the association, notified
headquarters that they had, on their
' own responsibility, retained C. C.
' Pittman, a prominent member of
' the Cartersville bar and former
state senator from that district, to
| assist in pressing the charges
against the mercantile company and
its directors.
Similar action was taken in For
syth county, where a committee of
association members engaged the
law firm of Fowler & Kirby to rep
resent them against the mercan
tile company.
Selfish Interest Seen
The following letter was sent to
headquarters in reference to the ac
tion:
“Cumming, Ga., April.B, 1924.
“Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co-opera
tive Association,
“Atlanta/ Ga.
“Gentlemen:
“We have been reading all along
the pamphlets and newspaper ad
vertisements that the Jones Mercan
tile company lias been putting out
against our association. We believed
all along that it was a selfish inter
est that caused them to do so, . d
it. did not bother us until they came
out in some of the weekly newspa
pers recently and booklets charging
our management with dishonesty,
fraud, fraudulent concealment and
bad faith in their dealings with our
members.
j “They also ii sinuated that our
I much appreciated Journal, Georgian
I and Constitution, Atlanta, oaily pa
-1 pens, had concealed the facts about
our association ancl were not print
ing the truth. We will always a.p
meciate what these papers have
done for us and lai of the co
operatives.
“Now we do not believe that any
of that stuff that the Jones Mer-*
cantile company has told is true, and
they calculated that it would in
jure our association in our trade
and business dealings with the com
mercial world.
“We, as a body of Forsyth county
members, condemn the action of the
Jones Mercantile company, who, it
appears, are anxious to destroy our
association so they can price our
cotton in the fall, and we praise tre
action of our association in sueing
them for 3,000. We have gone
further t’-. 11 that by employing the
firm of Fowler <Sr Kirby to represent
our association at this trial.
Reflection on Members
“This action may not meet 1
your approval, but we have been
.greatly benefited by our association
and we do not propose to have one
individual or set of individuals to
tear up something that is of benefit
to millions of farmers. We have em
ployed this able law firm ; d we ex
p< r. them to i>e there ...id represent
us and our g od brother members
in Cherokee county to the fullest
extent of their ability.
“If you don't approve this action
of ours at first thought, look at it
from our point of view. We feel
like that it is a disgraceful reflec
tion on our intelligence in selecting
hone-st and conscientious men to
run our organization, and if we can
be of further assistance call on us.

Carracutt and his wife quarreled
Friday night, he told the sheriff,
and while the woman held the babe
in her arms he slashed her throat
and stabbed her in the bod.v. The
infant, he said, fell from her arms
to the floor and was killed. Earlier,
Carracutt had told a deputy that his
wife killed the child and he killed
her in turn.
