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

taThe passes, it la understood, may

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

WITNESSES GATHER
IN ELECTION CASE
Members of the counting board of
precinct 201 were cooling their heels
in the witness room1 outside the Mult
nomah county grand Jury chambers
in the courthouse this morning, wait
ing their, turns to tell their stories.
The Olcott-Hall recount showed a
discrepancy of 40 -votes' between the
recount and the original official count.
The grand jury Itself counted the -ballots
last week when the matter was
brought before them.
Chairman Hockenberry of the day
board, was before the grand jury this
moaning at his own request andcom
pieted his testimony shortly before 11
o'clock. v
.The members of the counting board
on . hand were William H. . Emrich
(chairman), II. R. Holman (judge),
Virgial A. Crum, Anna A. Crum, Anna
A. Mallory and C. S. West. They were
not Bubpenaed, Inasmuch as the 'law
states that, any one subpenaed before
a grand' Jury .cannot -be indicted - by

Stanley Myers, district attorney,
called the members of the board to
gether, however, and told them that if
they wished they could appear volun
tarily before' the grand jury. All
quickly agreed. - . '
Myers stated that hearing of wit
nesses on the fraud -case, probably
would occupy the grand Jury until the

which I am particularly interested,
