Eastern
5000 Veterans
Are Moving On
Capital Today
By- the Associated Press
Five thousand men, some footsore.
some shabby and many hungry,
moved on Washington today from all
over the country.
They hitch-hiked, commandeered
freight trains as they could, rode In
trucks and went oil foot - any way
to get to Washington and join the
2,600 already bivouacked there to do-.
mand payment of tho soldiers' bonus.
At Pittsburgh police mobilized at
dawn today to Insure order when the j
1,500 men approaching that city from j
west and north arrived. Four units i
of marchers were escorted quickly!
through the city yesterday; Many
had no time to eat, so quickly did
they move on. At Wilkinsburg, Pa.,
however, merchants donated food.
Two hundred and fifty marchers
were given box car transportation by
the Pennsylvania railroad from Old
Robey, Ind., yesterday and were due
in Washington today. At Kansas City
180 men outrnaneuvered police and
boarded a freight for St. Louis, while
500 others mobilized at Wichita. A
Brawley, Cal., unit of 30 or more
men abandoned motor transportation
at Yuma, Arts., and continued on by
train.
Opposition to this method of urg
ing bonus payments appeared fre
quently today among veterans them
selves. The leader of 300 at Dallas
resigned as their commander when
they refused to leave the railway
yards after being warned to do so.
A New York ml n Inter who manned
a machine gun In the war led the
men in prayer for success on their
Journey.
In Boston a contemplated march
was cancelled. At Lincoln, Neb., the
executive committee of the Nebraska
American Legion characterized the
"bonus army" movements as "un
American and revolutionary."
Railroads were resorting to various
plans to discourage efforts to "draft"
freight trains. For the most part
the railroads sought to avoid any
display of force. At GreenBboro, N. C,
the Journey of 200 marchers was in
terrupted when the railroad company
sidetracked a train on which they
were riding. Other railroads were de
laying movement of freight trains
when It appeared the marchers would
demand accommodations.
The 400 men who were balked at
Cleveland In their attempt to com
mandeer a freight ride to Washington
spent Sunday, m a suburb washing
their clothes and laying plans for
future action. Various delegations,
riding In trucks from points In Michi
gan, Illinois and other middle west
ern states, continued toward the
capital.
Talk of communism was heard In
several groups, but Invariably the
marchers Jndicated thejr would have
nothing to do with any "reds" who
might be found among them. The
delegations that left New York City
Saturday split because one group
complained the other was composed
of communists.
Thirty-five Chicago veterans de
cided after reaching Ohio to turn
back, and took a freight from Toledo,
west bound, last night.
A new unit- of "several hundred"
men was being formed at Lancaster,
Pa., and expected to start for Wash
ington during the day.
None of the marchers has Indi
cated any definite plan for urging"
1 assage of the two billion dollar
bonus measure other than the hope
that the sight of several thousand
veterans in the capital may concen
trate attention on the bill.
Abov the Atmosphere
The stratosphere Is the upper por
tion of the atmosphere above 11
kilometers, more or less, depending
on latitude, season and weather, In
which temperuture changes but lit
tle with altitude and clouds of wa- I
ter never form, and in which there j
a practically no convection or dis
tribution of the atmospheric equi
librium causing winds. It Is often
called the Isothermal region; that
Is, region of equal temperature.
Chinese Americans
Under the treaty of 18S2, prohib
iting naturalization of Chinese, Im
migrants from China, on becoming
naturalized, were permitted all the
privileges of other citizens, and at
the present time Chinese born In the
United States have the right of cit
izens. The treaty of 1882 was not
retroactive and Chinese having the
privilege of voting at that time con
tinued to do so.
Liquor', Effoct,
Doctor Johnson had said to me
yesterday that Adam Smith was a
most disagreeable fellow after he
had drunk some wine which he said
bubbled In his mouth, lie made a
most excellent remark. "Drinking,"
lie said, "does not Improve Conver
sation. It niters the mind so that
you are pleased with any conver
sation." From James Boswell's
Journal,
Whale With T.oth
Some species of whale. Including
the sperm whale and members of
the dolphin and porpoise fnmllj
have teeth. The sperm whole has
20 to 20 teeth on each side of the
lower Jaw, up to four pounds In
weight; the upper Jaw has eight
pairs of smaller teeth.
"APm" Not "Monkey,"
The terms "ape" and "monkey" In
popular language are more or less
Interchangeable. Correctly speaking,
however, ape refers to any of the
large anthropoid primates which nre
entirely tailless, and monkey to any
of the smaller members of this or
der with either short or long tails.

Comet's Next Visit Remote
Hnlley's comet has a period of
70 yenrs. The latest appearance
was in 1010. On April 10 of that
year It passed within 05,000,000
miles of the sun. The velocity of
the comet at this, its nearest ap
proach to the sun, was 54 miles per
second. On May 18, 1010, the
comet passed within 14,000,000
miles of the earth, at which time
the tail had a length of about 20,
000,000 miles.. It is duo to return
In 1080.
Bitter Expression
The expression "Solid pudding
against empty praise" -is from
Alexander Pope's "Duncind." In
olden times kings protected poets,
artists and musicians, and frequent
ly gave them board and lodging, or
a stipend on which to live. When
aspiring poets received only praise
and needed solid sustenance an
empty stomach made the pruise
empty. v

Resubmission Is
Likely Plank In
G.0. P. Platform
WASHINGTON, Juno 0 VP) Repub
lican congressional leaders were de
clared today by Senator Wiitson to
be In virtual agreement upon a pro
hibition plank calling for prompt ac
tion by congress for re -submission
of prohibition to state conventions.
The Indlanan, who leads his party
strategy in the senate, said yester
day's meeting of Republican legisla
tors here and subsequent conversa
tions had brought about a "unity
of view" on a resubmission plank.
The tentative platform declaration
as backed by these men calls for
enforcement and condemns the sa
loon. It's submission provision reads:
"Wo favor prompt action by the
congress to bring about the resub
mission of the eighteenth amend
ment to tho people of the several
states, acting through non-partisan
conventions called for that sole pur
poso In accordance with artlclo five
to determine whether that amend
ment shall bo retained, modified or
repealed."
As a result of this meeting by
the congressional leaders on the con
troversial point, Its adoption by the
national convention is regarded as
certain In Republican quarters at
the capltol.
dared the school bill has no part
In the tax reform program and has
been denounced by James Burdettc,
of McMlnnvllle, president of the
league.
"Coming at this time." said Fisher,
"the bill to reorganize the entire
upper school syatm would place
heavy burdens on property owners
and It probably would raise taxes
throughout the state because It would
involve, not merely millions ot dol
lars of losses on state private prop
erty, but millions for new build
ings to accommodate the shifts. Im
pairment of millions of dollars In
county, city and utility bonds would
also be involved. Instead of an
economy measure, it might add heav
ily to the burdens of the state."
"The state tax league Is not in
terested In the school bill and will
not have any part In It," Burdctte
said. "The Marlon county league
which has sponsored the school bill
Is a purely local organization and
the bill represents purely a local
movement."

COMPROMISE
MEASURE UP
TO HOOVER
.(Oontlnued from Page One)
Dy an 8 to 4 vote, the rules com
mittee agreed today for tho bill to
be brought up under drastic proce-l
dure with debate limited to threo
hourj. Tho Democrats aro pledged
to support It.
Meanwhile, tho ways and means!
committee, approving the measure!
for tho second time due to technical i
changes, Bllced $39,060,000 from the
total allocated to public buildings, j
.Representative Raincy, tho Demo-1
cratte leader, said the changes were
"made because of tho decreased build
lng costs.'. i
. Instead of allotting $83,000,000 for
postof floes costing $70,000 the bill
now will allow $52,200,000 for $50,000
buildings. '",
The $66,000 class, for which the bill
previously had allotted $22,440,000,
was decreased to a maximum of $36,
ooo with a total allocation of $14,-
280,000. .
Tho voto by the rules committee
waa strictly along party lines. No
amendment or points of order onn lie
presented and only ono motion to
send tho bill back to tho ways and
means committee Is to be allowed.
Representative Bankhead (D., Ala.)
in oresontlnir tho rule Bald "Frankly
I It Is d rustle but tho Democratic cau
j cub has Instructed me to submit this
' and as long as ho have tho respon
jstblllty for this legislation wo aro
I going to assume It."
Meanwhile, Representative Snell,
tho Republican leader, said his col
leagues would meet late today to
make plans to defeat the Garner pro
gram and substitute that of Presi
dent Hooer.
Tho relief problem also will bo
tackled again tomorrow by tho eonato
banking committee. '
Chairman Norbeck, (R S. D.) said
today tho commltteo, would talk it
ovor in executive session in tho
morning and might ask Secretary
Mills to Join tho discussion later.
Tho committee will havo before It
both the senate Democratic relief bill
and tho measure embodying the ad
ministration's plan.
Efforts will bo made to reconcile
tho plans In tho hope of smoothing
tho course of tho legislation when it
reached tho senate.
Tho principal difference Is that the
measure sponsored by five Democratic
senators Includes a $500,000,000 fed
eral public worka program to bo fi
nanced by a bond Ibsuo. To this the
administration Is opposed.
Both bills provide for using the
reconstruction corporation In admin
