Be publicans of the senate finance committee will hold their ' firs' conference tomorrow on the sol diers' bonus bill passed las' month by the house. Chairman McCumber said to day there would be a general dis cusslon of the whole subject, add ing it was too -early to undertake to say what form the bill finally would take. Rider Plan Opposed The North Dakota senator made known his opposition to the plan suggested recently by some Republican senators of attaching the bonus bill to the pending tar iff measure. He said also that, he was not farorably disposed to any plan of financing the bonus with certifi cates of indebtedness but declar ed that even this was preferable to any proposition calling- for add ed taxation. Objection is Financial It is Senator McCumber's Idea that the bill reported to the sen ate should contemplate a mini mum of expenditure in the fiscal year 1923. He regards the house bill as entailing too great a drain on the federal treasury at the start Chairman McCumber said Le was hopeful that a plan of finan cing the bonus by use of part of the refunded foreign debt could be worked out but be suggested no details. Quick Action likely With the American debt re funding commission ready for business, a number of senators believe that at least part of the new British bonds can be ln the hands of the government about the time; the bonus measure fin ally is passed by congress. his son Forrest had agreed' to de liver 20 gallons of moonshine When JLewis, waiting at ihe ap pointed place, replied to a ques tion asked by Brown, he was fir ed upon by Brown, it was claim ed.
