SOME IN FAVOR OF DELAY FREE REPUBLIC DECLARED RISH FETE TOM :' " 1 - - - v $35 Another Group Wants Considera tion to Start Monday , Under , Suspension of Rules. - WASHINGTON, D. C., March 15. There developed today a difference ot opinion among republican' leaders in the house as to the method of calling up the soldiers' bonus bill on the floor. One group still favored con sideration next Monday under a sus pension of the rules, which would cut off all amendments, while another held the- opinion that delay in action would be preferable. ' On all sides it was said -that a da cision would await the return hers Saturday of Speaker Gillett, who is In Florida with President Harding. Meanwhile there was speculation among house members as to "whether the speaker would entertain a mo tion to suspend the rules and pass the bill. Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee disclosed that he had been informed by Mr. Gillett be fore the speaker left Washington that he had better not depend entirely on a suspension of rules as the- procedure for getting the bill before the house. Since he has been in Florida the speaker has Indicated that he. might not entertain a motion for'jthis pur pose, because of the importance of the bonus measure. ' . ; Suspension Declared Favored. Representative Mondell. Wyoming, the republican leader, said today -it- would be "rather unusual" for the1 speaker to refuse to entertain such a motion if a majority of the house de sired consideration of the bill under such a plan. He added that it "was his judgment that a majority did so de- sire. '.-.'.' ' Representat've Garner, 'Texas, the ranking democrat on the ways and means committee, declared that ,t Speaker Gillett were "persistent against the passage, of the bill, he has the p-wer in his office to prevent its consideration." "The power to refuse recognition cn Monday to suspend the rules and pass the bill," Mr. Garner said, "exists on Tuesday to refuse recognition to the rules committee to consider a special rule authorizing its consideration. Complication Is Feared. "If Speaker Gillett objects to the consideration of the measure on sus pension day because it cannot bt amended, to be consistent he would, have to decline recognition to con sider a rule to cut off the right of any member to offer amendment." In the discussion today in house cloakrooms and corridors some of those advocating consideration of the bili under a suspension of. the rules advanced the argument that to take il up under a special rule might re- i suit in complications. They said there was the possibility of a motion to re commit with instructions to the com mittee to reinsert the cash bonus feature and provide for an excess profits tax to finance it. Some con tended that such a motion probably would prevail. HIBERNIAXS TO CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK'S DAY. Address of Evening to Be Deliv ered by Judge Kavanaugh. Music on Programme.
