Tariff to Be Indefinitely Tied Up in Conference; Soldier Bonus Has Rough Road Ahead and' Ship Subsidy Hopeless. Bjr Dsvld, Lwrne (Copyright, or Tin Journal)- j Washington. Aug. 21. the legis lative situation gets more muddied daily. Now it begins to look asif the tariff will be indefinitely tied up in conference betweeni the house and sen ffte. and may without any deliberate effort on anybody's part be. still under consideration "when the people go to the polls in November. f As for the bonus and ship: subsidy, the latter has little! chance in the pres ent melee and will get more votes after election. The bonus; or adjusted com pensation bill, as the American t-egion leaders prefer to have it described, twill be -passed this -week. . There is no doubt that the Votes in favor of the bill are greatly lit excess of those against it. The only Question now is whether the senate will cast more than a two-thirds. vote In favor pf the measure. Some of the friends of the bill believe if the- bill pjassea by a two-thirds vote the futility of a veto will have been ao conspicuously dem onstrated that MrJ Harding (will not wish to risk being overridden by bis own pal-ty. j Every statement and intimation from the White House, however, has been directly to the contrary and the president is said to have exhibited much impatience recently when one of his callers brought the information that the senate: was expecting him to shift his position 'and sign; the bill after ail. i . - I If the senate really expects that, the ( t'onetudrd on Fuse Tweie, Cotema One PLAN.

Inasmuch as the proposed passes represent a reduction- in existing fares it is highly probable that the commission Willi approve, it was intimated , in the offices of "the ,- commission this morning. j The passes aTe being resorted to, according to the application filed with the commission this morning, as a "temporary experimental I measure to determine the effect with respect to the development of a larger volume of revenue traffic in the Astoria street railway system," ('-, , taThe passes, it la understood, may be used by anyone, the ionly restric tion being that they wilj be honored for only one passenger . at lone time. The Astoria street railway system was recently granted & fate increase to T cents by the public .service com mission upon a showing that the 'sys tem was not paying its way. This in. creas-5 evidently has notj resulted in increasing the revenues bf the com pany as was expected.: j The passes will not cancel existing rfttes but will be supplemental thereto, j , Permission to file the new tariff on less than the statutory JO days', no tice is asked of the commission in the application. - ' Prisoner Escapes ' McNeils Prison Tacoma, Wash..!

No satisfactory expla nation of the cause of these fires was found by firemen,; and the fact that all but one were in the same vicinity on the east side adds to the firebug theory. JPOLICE FIJfD FIRE Sunday night H. J. Murphy, No. 54J East Ankeny street, saw a man with a bundle loitering and acting suspic iously in the alley back of a battery station ami filling shop. He notified police. Patrolmen Finn and Ripley made a hurried call, but instead of the man they were looking for they found the oily papers and waste burning;1 between two frame buildings. The fire depart ment responded to an alarm and, ex tinguished the fire before any dam age was done.. The blase' had made so little headway that Murphy did not see it. v , The theory that several recent fires were of Incendiary origin Is strength ened by statements Of Charles Kreger and J.

"The othes line of progress which may be advanced as a result of glider practice is the development of s low powered and efficient airplane in which the -motive power may be- an engine of five or ten horsepower,- minimizing- cost - of planes and popularis ing aviation in general.

Then, at a spot previ ously designated, he made a graceful landing." - Before Hentzen smashed the world's record, a fellow student named Mar tens had remained In the air for an hour and five minutes.
