House Considers Mcasnre to
Kiclies Wrung From War as
Too Radical and Splits.
; OREGOXIAN NEWS B XT K E A IT.
- Washington, May 3. A new drive
for soldiers' bonus legislation vras
begun on congress by the American
legion today. The telegrams from
legion sources which began to hit
Washington ignored, however, the is
sue which so suddenly upset the plan
r of the house to pass a liberal measure
to reward former soldiers, sailors and
marines. This Is the tax question
; over which the majority ide of the
house split, thereby ending at least
temporarily all consideration of such
legislation?
i; The legion findtf' itself somewhat
l: embarrassed for the reason that the
member of congress most responsible
J"; for failure of the house to act favor
ably on bonus legislation is Repre-
;. 6entative Royal C. Johnson of North
- Dakota, a former service man. John
son's scheme of substituting a retro-
f- active tax on war profits for the sales
tax plan worked out by the house
ways and means committee is all that
prevented action today. '
J- Johnson Plan Causes Trouble.
f Several leading democrats have
Joined with Representative Johnson
J and a handful of republicans in sup
p porting the war profits plan, which is
, generally referred to as "wild," and
are extracting some pleasure from
, the perturbation which has resulted
among republican chieftains in the
. house. It was declared today by sev-
eral members of the house favorable
to the bonus but opposed to the John
;V son war profits tax proposal, that
' the American L.e?ion will never ac
, romplish anything by bombarding
. congress.
To get acliony it wa3 said, the
legion must force Representative
Johnson to withdraw his proposal and
join other republicans in something
- regarded as more practical and less
radical. The Johnson plan is de-
; nouneed in the strongest language.
"-' ' It is Dolnted ouc that the aovern
"; mcnt already is collecting several
forms of revenue under the present
f act which nets almost nothing to the
r. treasury because of the heavy costs
S for collection, and the retroactive war
;J tax, it is asserted, would be another
v of the same kind, only more dis-
appointing. .-
t Difficult! rotated Out.
I, First, there would be the question
.i of what is a war profit, which the
courts would be long in deciding; sec
J ' ond, there would be difficulty of lo
" eating the profits earned by war cor
porationa dissolved since the armi
stice; third, there would be the try
- ing operation of collecting money
from the man whose war profits are
invested in property that cannot be
turned into cash over night.
, Republican leaders in the house feel
that they have done their part. They
take the position that the American
Legion has the power to remove the
chief obstacle. Representative John

PRICES CUT 20 PEH CENT
BIG XEW YORK STORE OFFERS
$20,000,000 STOCK.
Motive Assigned by Corporation Is
a- "Conscientious Sense
of Duty."
NEW YORK, May 3. One of New
York's largest department stores in
serted advertisements in today's news
papers' announcing that it would at
tempt "to break the backbone of high
prices" by offering its stock valued
at $20,000,000 at a reduction of 20 per
cent The only goods excluded will
be about $50,000 worth of merchan
dise purchased under price restric
tions which . cannot be "honorably
changed."
.The only motive In making this
general reduction, said the advertise
ment, is "a conscientious sense of
duty," made necessary by the reports
of government investigators that
prices are still on the upward trend.
1000 APARTMENTS VACATED
Chicago Real Estate Dealers in
Quandary Over Exodus.
CHICAGO, May 3. More than 1000
vacant apartnfents were thrown on
the market over the v cek end and
real estate dealers are in a quan
dary as a result.
Hundreds of families whose rentals
had been raised moved out May 1
without warning. Rents have ad
vanced in many cases from 50 to 300
per cent, the agents pleading the law
of supply and demand justified the
Increases.
Real estate agents est!-iate that
10,000 families who received notice to
move May 1 refused to do so, defying
the landlords because they could find
no place to move.
Th unexpected vacating of more
than 1000 apartments has left the
landlords In doubt. Many families
doubled up, two to an apartment, and
others moved to hotels rather than
pay increased rentals.

clat wins more than a plurality at the
primary tomorrow, the state conven
tion will have the option either of
sending the delegates uninstructed or
instructed to vote for the aspirant who
received the greater number of votes,
In closing his campaign. Senator
; Johnson insisted that if lie does not
win a plurality he will not ask for a
single vote from the state, and has
taken the position that the 30 votes,
by right of open judgment, belong to
the candlute who receives the popular
vote. The Harding and Lowden back
ers have bfen insisting that the letter
of the law should be lived up to and j
favor an uninstructed 'delegation
. should no majority vote be cast for
any one of the four candidates.
The managers of General Wood
were confident tonight that a drift
of Lowden and Harding supporf had
come their way during the last 36
hours. They declared that the cam
paign had conclusively proved that
the real fight at the polls tomorrow
rests between Wood and Johnson and
that many of the Lowden and Hard
ing forces seeing a Johnson menace
had elected to assist Wood in order to
beat the Calif orr. lam However, in
spite of the opinion &f political writ-
. ers and those who rmve been close
students of the primary race to the
effect that the fight has narrowed
down to a "hoss race1 which bids fair
to emulate the New Jersey primary
with the final precincts determining
tne winner between Johnson and
wood, the Lowden managers have not
given up hope of winning a plurality
and today made desperate attmpts to
check any drift of Lowden strength
to Wood.
James S. Baldwin. Lowden's Indiana
manager, charging an attempt on the
part or otner candidates to attract
votes from Governor Lowden unfair
ly. made the following statement: "In
the closing day of the campaign It is
apparent to all that strenuous efforts
are benif- made by the managers of
one candidate to gather votes on the
theory that' a certain other candidate
:s a menace, etc., etc. This is a direct
attempt to attract votes from Gover
nor Lowden.
It is conceded by all who are fa
miliar with the situation here that no
candidate will obtain a majority In

law the delegates from this state will

WASHINUTON, May 3. The su

tne government s request for a re
hearing of the anti-trust suit against
the United btatest Steel corporation

officials are watching developments
beyond the border. There was noth
ing, however, to indicate to what ex
tent the attitude of the Washington
government1 toward the Sonora revo
lutionary movement might be affected
cy the fact that the incidents oc
curred in Carranxa-controlled terri

Federal Garrison Joins Rebel.
On the border the reported closure
f Juarez was interpreted as indicat
ing defection of the federal garrison
under General Escobar, to the rebel
cause. Loss of this entry port, offi
cials said, would be a serious blow to
the federals because of its revenue
producing capacity. They believed
complete rebel cor.trCl of the state of
Chihuahua would be the logical result.
The murder of Eben Francis Green
law and his young son by Mexicans
near El Oro, only 125 mlies from
Mexico City, brought from the Amer
ican embassy in Mexico City an em
phatic demand that the Mexican gov
ernment arrest and punish the mur
derers. The American government
contends Carranza authorities were
responsible for the protection of the
Greenlaws.
The date of the sailing of the fleet
of destroyers to Mexican waters was
not made public, but the belief was
expressed that they would be sent at
once.
Destroyers will be stationed at
Tampico. Tuipan, Vera Crux and
Fronteras, ready to take off Ameri
cans who may be in danger either
from Mexican federal authorities or
rebels. The state department specifi
cally stated that these vessels were
to take no part in the struggle be
tween factions in Mexico, but were
asked for solely to provide a haven
in case of need. '
Factions Getting; Tog-ether.
Reports were received today of con
ferences attended by representatives
of Obregon, Villa, Manuel Pelaez and
Felix Diaz, which . indicated definite
co-ordination between the factions
was being arranged. Official infor
mation showed that the revolution
had been planned for several months.

General Obregon has pledged him
self to protect foreign lives and inter
ests if elected to the presidency, a, con
sular report said. Obregon also in
cluded in his platform a declaration
in favor of renewal of foreign invest
ments in Mexico. He accused Presi
dent Carranza of violating the con
stitution in assuming dictatorial pow
ers and having injured Mexico through
adoption of a policy calculated to
drive out foreign capital.
