Ae the de bate on the bonus bill drew to a close this afternoon the word was being passed out from administra tion circles that there would be nb bonua law, It looks very muoh aa If atatesmen have had, their troubles fOT their pains. A member pfthe cabinet, whose hand Is hot far re moved from the purse strings of the nation, today confirmed the general idea Which th!s writer sought to con vey last night that the Washington government ta ekpectlng little in the way of ready cash from Europe dur ing the next few years, Is rather ex pecting, on the contrary, that even the pound sterling is to bs kept at home for the most part, and there fore, It is officially concluded. - the Simmons amendment is found inade quate as a possible revenue pro ducer. Both President Harding and Secre tary Mellon warned Congress In the beginning that If there was to be a bonus or adjusted compensation legislation, a certain and specific way must be provided for the pro duction of sufficient fun.da,..to meet the demands upori- the treasury. When the President vetoes the bill, as it passed the senate today, he will act largely at the Instance of Secre tary Mellon. The amendment spon sored by the North Carolina sena tor has found almost universal favor in legislative olrcles, and among the real friends of the bill, hut It Is not acceptable at all to the White House or the treasury de partment. Harding to Vets. Notwithstanding --reports of : this oharaoter, however, Senator Sim mons, following the passage of the bill, expressed the opinion that this amendment, providing a plan of pay ment without additional taxation, gives the bill tha -only eHano att une of escaping the presidential veto. Senator Simmons is likewise much pleased over the fact that the sen ate has (In the MoNary amendment) voted to commit the government to the policy of draining and reclaim ing the swamp lands of the country. Even if the bonus bill should fall the action of the senate In this re spect may prove helpful when future reclamation projects are brought up for consideration. Any such pro posal as that found In the McNary amendment would result in the ad dition of millions of acres of fertile land to the Improved 'and cultivated land area of the state. Two or three evenings ago Senator Overman went out to dinner with some of his colleagues. On leaving the dining room the senator fell, hurting .his ankle painfully, and he has been, confined to his room at his hotel.

A message was reoelved at the office of Senator Overman this afternoon from one of thoee associated with Mr. Ford, in whloh It waa stated that In view of plana previously an nounced It was not understood how that gentleman oould go to North Carolina next month, but that the In vitation would certainly be brought to his personal attention.

Prayer For Repose of His Soul Brings Tears To Frank Dupre's Eyes HE HANGS TODAY "It Was Hard Trying to Keep Tears Back," He Telia Reporter. HANGMAN'S KNOT IS TIED , Atlanta, Aug. II For the Bret time since he was sentenced to die tar the murder of Irby C. Wslker, December 16, .1921, Frank B. Dupre, who will be hanged tomorrow, shed tears this afternoon. After Mlas Jeanette Jones, a woman friend, had knelt with him on the cement floor ot the Fulton county Jail and prayed for the repose ot hla soul, Dupre arose with a hand kerchief pressed to hla faoe and tears blinding lls eyes. ' "Oh Ood, receive tha aoul of thla young man who Is about to die before he has Stepped over the threshold of life," Miss Jones, a Blender young woman dressed In black, prayed. "If It ii Thy will that he shall die, take him Is the bosom of his mother who waits for him, and prepare his soul to answer for his short life before the judgment bar." "It was hard trying to keep the tears back that time," Dupre told a newspaper reporter, drying hla syes again. Just beneath hla cell, the rope on which the youthful bandit la to hang was atretuhlng with an 10 pound weight attached to one end, the other end tied to a eroas beam agalnat the floor of Dupre's cell above.

"We hnve the same Ood today as In the old daya," Mrs. Osbtirn said, "and He Is the same Ood that de livered Daniel from the lion's den, and saved the Hebrew children from the fiery furnace. I know He will do the same for Frank, If It Is hla will." F. A. Dupre, father of Frank, waa not ao hopeful, "I can't even hope," he said. "Frank's mother died when ha was about. II years old. I got. the notion then that something ter rible was going to happen to thla boy. Frank waa on one aide of his mother's bed snd I on the other. Just before she died ahe' looked at htm and then at me.
