SALEM, OREGpN, WEDNESDAY Five-Way Adjusted Compen sation Plan as Amendment to Present Measure Pre sented by Simmons. PROVISION MAY BE PART 0? REFUND ACT Massachusetts Democrat Cautions Against Open ing to Speculators WASHINGTON", Jan. 24. The question of a; bonus for former service menagain was presented to thei senafs .today through in troduction by f.Senator Simmons, Democrat, North Carolina, of the five-way adjusted compensation plan a$ an amendment to the pen ding measure providing for a re funding of the. war-time loans to tho allied powers.. Except provision for payment of the bonus, this amendment is identical with the house bill as taken up by the senate last sum mer and recommitted to the fin ance committee after President Harding' had addressed the sen ate. Interim Certificates Provided Provision for ' payment of the bonus call for the issuance of short term treasury certificates until interest on the debt can, he collected to retire them, and ater the use of the principal of th9 debt, if and when such be comes available through sale of the foreign bonds. Mr. Simmons declared he was bringing the subject up because former; service ; men- deserved the bonus and because the finance Committee of which he is the ranking Democratic member had given "serious' consideration" to ttachlng- it to the refunding bilM before the latter was reported to the senate. 1 It was said that as a result of informal conferences among Dem ocrats, Mr. Simmons had been as sured his colleagues would sup port hts efforts to have the am endment attached to the funding measure. Walsh Has Amendment Senator Walsh, Democrat. Mas sachusetts, also submitted an am endment stipulating that any Jgreement resulting froai negoti tlons between ithe proposed com mission for funding the debt and the foreign representatives should not be binding on the American government until the consent of the senate had been obtained. Mr. Simmons in his speech de clared that when the senate com mittee agreed ; to strike out the provision for a; flat 5 per cent in terest rate it had left the way open for "the international spec ulators to gather the fruit." Mellon Is Obdurate . t ivauui j ufpuoiviuu lip a Of.- diers' bonus remains unchanged. but if there ls-: to be a bonus it must be provided through tax ation in addition to taxes imposed by existing law. Secretary Mellon declared tonight in a letter to Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee. Any attempt to provide for the bonus through use of the principal and interest of the foreign debt, he contended, "would be futile as well as unwise." The letter as in response to request from Mr, Fordney for an expression of the views of the secretary and the treasury de partment on the governmental fl nancial outlook and for suggest ions as to legislation. . Estimates Given -Submitting' 'estimates of gov ernment receipts and expenditures for the fiscal years vl922- and 1923,; and the; treasury plan for refunding thehort dated debt. Mr.-Mellon declared no allowance had been made for any extraor dinary expenditures for a soldier bonus, ; which would cost on the most Conservative estimates, he sa'd. probably hot less than $850- OOt.OOn in the first two years. "Tha figures," he said, ."show that there will be no - available surplus, but more probably & de ficit, and that with the enormous refunding operations the treasury .has to! conduct it would be dan gerous; to attempt to finance the expenditures involved in tne boons ' through new borrowings.

They are what is left of the old Brown stage barn on the Oregon California stage route from Port land and the northwest, to San Francisco and the golden south west. The barn was built on the original Sam Brown donation claim, near Gervais, 10 miles north of Salem. This was the first change station out of Port land, on the great scenic fallen log, grizzly-bear and scalping-knife-Indian route up and down the coast. It contained stalls for four four-horse stage outfits, and tfiey used to make some of the flyin'est changes ever Eeen in staging. The barn has been in use until recently, when its doom was needed to make way for a better structure. The old Concord, with its bison leather 'cradle springs. would come rolling up to this historic old place, the horses lathered with sweat sometimes and perhaps more orten up to their eyebrows in mud; for the Pacific highway in those days was one of the seethingest seas of mud in the muddy weather time that anybody ever knew. The passengers might crawl out or not. ?ust ai they chose. The driver, with all the air of a sea captain or a section bojs, would watch the flunkeys end wranglers rassle the half-wild horser, into the tstble and the new ones into t!e trace, there would be the era: of the vmip, a rca-slcky plunge of the stage l'ke a canoe Just igoing over the crest of a four-ftoot wave, and away they'd go lor the gold mines of the south, or back up for the newer gold mines of Idaho, and the John Day; and the big dally .event was over. The stage was the whole social life ot the time-1 except whenisome one got bit by a bear, or they got' a month's old dispatch from "The rtates" that something was hap pening back in "God's country'" beyond the Rocki-s. The old. barn ia no more a barn; it, will probably go into kindling ana'pig-fences but it' was a gen uine Larn- while it was a-going.

' Shortly after Mrs. Rogers was called npon the stand, defense counsel was sustained by the court in showing that a wife cannot be compelled to testify against her husband. 1 In answer to direct examination by Carson, Mrs. Rogers made a complete reversal pf her reported attitude of wanting a divorce from her husband because of her re ported statements that Rogers had threatened to kilt her. Mrs. Rogers depled that she had told Chief of Police Mofrftt of threats made against her by her husband. Mrs. Mary Baker, sister of Mrs. Rogers, was the second witness and testified that' she had tele phoned to the police station when Rogers had followed Mrs. Rogers to her mother's home at 960 High land avenue, December 4, 1921.

Officer Miller Hayden, of the local police department pro7ed to be a genuine stumbling block for Attorney W. C. Wlnslow, of the defense. The defense attorney made many attempts to twist Hay- den's testimony into a aid for the defense, but made little headway. ITayden testified that he had been on duty at the police station wjieh the wounded officer brought In his prisoner. 1 "I wish it had been your damn ed heart," Rogers said, according to Hayden. Roger's rematk was mace when it was 'discovered that Birtchett bad been wounded and while the serious! nature of the injury wss being discussed, ac cording to the officer. "I believe you- said something different from that at tho justice court hearing." Wlnslow remark ed. The attorney then read a tian&ctipt of evidence Cakon at the first hearing. tha . word "damn" being omitted. "I am positive I said it, as those were Roger's words as I heard them." said Hayden who then re marked that the court stenograph er had rbot ed to him after the hearing, in an effort to rlear up this part of the testimony.

When the regular Jury panel was exhausted a few days ago in the case of the state against Rog ers,' it was decided by the court to draw additional jurors from the new panel. Six names were drawn, of which four were men and two women. 1 But' as it had been decided to have no women serve on this trial the names of the two women were Placed back in the jury box and two men drawn. The six Jurors" drawn were W. W. Fawk, E. R. English, P. C. Freres. H. O. White, William H. Mumpers and E. U. Downing. ! Although the names of 189 wo men were drawn for the 1922 Jury panel, this does not mean that all will be called for jury service, U. G, Boyer, county clerk said yes terday. ; According to law, 31 jurors will be drawn four times a "year, for the four sessions of the Marion county circuit court. Unless something unusual happens, the 124 jurors will be all that will be needed, although 378 names were drawn for the panel. ThjjrfT for the March term. 31 jurors will be drawn, about half or whom will be women. If it should happen that some, of the women could not serve, more names will be drawn and -.this Win probably bring out the names Of several more women.'. Possibly not more than 25 or more of the is? women on the nanel will be cauea lor jury service this spring J; As to the number ' of women tnat will be called for iurv ser- tice during the year, this depends isrgeiy upon how mahy W1 ac cept service when first called, thus avoiding. the necessity of drawing more names. -' There is a feeling that women win be given equal ' opportunity for jury service. That Is; there will bet as many women's names drawn for service as men. Big Pacific Company I To Confer With Lasker . WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.
