WASHINGTON. March 20. An other attack on the bonus bill was made today In minority report from Ways and Means committee niciubeis, flepres cntativo Kitehin, North Carolina, tho democratic leader, and Oldficld, Arkan sas; Crisp, Georgia i Carew, Now York, and Teague, Massachusetts, an aomo . crate.' . '. , - r : - ' They characterized the eertiflcato bank loan, plan aa a "due bill-rain-check-borrow money bonus mode of payment," end declared that It was an "insult to every world-war veteran and a shameful discredit to Conercse and the nation." Insisting that tbe bonus be paid out of taxes levied upon the "big incomes of . millionaires and multi-niilliionaire'' and :" the conscienceless, excessive prof its of the big monopolistic corpora tions," the minority charged that Presi dent Harding and Secretary Mellon "boldy offer a bribe to the world war vrtersns to espouse the cause of the money power in their efforts to establish as a part of our revenue system the vici ous policy of a general sales tax." . . The Exchange Proposed. ' ''They offer a bonus in consideration of the vctcrun and his friends favoring a soles tax," said the report. "They rigorously fight a bonus without a sales tax, in the hope that the bravo boys will be tempted to yield and be willing to help the President and Mr. Mellon and the money power to drive the first ef fective wedge under the established policy of the income tax, founded upon the principle of ability to "pay." The report said the proposition in the bill for bank loans was absolutely "a gold brick" in view of the attitude of the comptroller of the currency, and add ed: '"So we ore presented with the shame ful spectaelo of the party that aborted the war,- divided our country 's war as sociates, diagramed the peace, deluded the people, deceived the veteran, deserted the wounded, Telievcd the profiteer, re duced the millionaire's income tax, e-j pealed the excess profits tax on the profit eers, and which still maintains a blasphe mous, bibulous boot licker at the court of St. James to be&mlrcu with his drunken banquet babbbj the high war purposes of the American p ople and the inspiration j of the American, soldiers, 'now-offering to redeem ita, rei with an I ) U,' etyess campaign pledges designated a certificate, which the , ndniiawtration has in ad vance 'of its issue .flatly impeached and discredited. 'V Incompetence R;vealed. 'rWi'th the veteran and bis needs the re publicans vhave revealed their incom petence; the report continued. "They start and, stop," it said "They are for this today, and for that temdrrow. They potter around in the darkness, they fumble, they muff. In capable of dealing fairly with the econo mic situation, they have directly brought upon the American people the worst de pression that ever came upon them. Equally incapable of dealing with the war veteran situation, they stutter and stagger. Blind, they wander arouud. They pick it up and put it down. Their last condition is worse than the first." . The report attacks the bank loan pro vision and declaros in favor of cash pay inents to the veterans. It proposes the legislation bo financed by a re-enactment of the exeess profit tar, with k specinc exemption of $50,000. and a res toration of the 65 per cent war-time in como surtax rate. Pay Id Cash. "We believe and insist," tho report said, "that the amount .of tbe money bonus or service credit, which Cor.gress concludes is just'? due the veteran, should be paid in cash on demand, and we protest against tho veteran being given, as ia provided by the pendiug bill, a 20 year due bill which he can pawn with! some bank for a loan of only one half! the "City by the Sea" in 1923.

The soldiers' bonus bill will be taken up by the House Thursday under suspension of the rules under a plan agreed upon today at .1 conference between Speaker Gillett and Chairman Campbell, of the rules committee. The eaker has agreed to entertain a motion to suspend the rules. Mr. Campbell said he would sail a meeting of his committee tomorrow morning, at which he will ask committee members to rewrt a rule designating Thursday as suspension day with a proviso that four hours debate on the bill shall be provided. j Under this procedure a two-thirds, majority would be necessary to pass the bill. No amendments would be per mitted nor would it be possible to make a motion to recommit the measure to the Ways and Means Committee. Those in charge of the legislation were confident that it would receive more than the two-thirds majority. They expected the vote to come before adjournment Thursday after two hours of discussion on each side. The rule will have to be agreed to by a majority of the rules committe and then will have to obtain a majority vote in the House. Proponents of the bonus legislation were confident that HUGHES DENIES SECRET AGREEMENT FOR ANGLO AMERICAN OPERATION Secretary's Letter Read in the Senate by Senator Lodge Causes Big Sensa tion Opponents of Four Power Trea ty Attempt to Send it Back to Com mittee. (By The Associated Press.) WASHINGTON", March 21. Pre sentation in the Senate today of a let ter from Secretary Hughes denying flat ly that any secret agreement exists for future British-American co-operation, led today to another effort by oppon ents of tho four power treaty to send it j back to committee. The effort brought on a warm debate. The secretary's letter, characterizing suggestions of such an agreement as "absolutely fabe," was laid before the Senate by Senator Lodge, who, at tho same time, nut into tho record a tele Kram from Paul D. Cravth, the New yrk attorney, denying the accuracy of a statement on. the..anmcuhcieet attrib uted to him by Senator tJoran. Reiterating' a' denial made in a form er communication that any secret a' greements exist ed, with other powers in connection with tho arm conference, Mr. Hughes wrote in today's letter that he hoped to see no "further asper sions upon the veracity and honor' ' of the American delegates. Mr. Cravath's telegram embodied the' statement issued by hint in New York last night, in which he declared that the words attributed- to him in the statement read by Renator Borah, in the Senate yesterday, were cither inac curately quoted or did not correctly convey his meaning. Referring to a passage in which Mr. Borah quoted him as saying he had been told of the "understanding'' by every member or the American delegation, Mr. Cravat h said he had in fact never talked with any delegate on any subject "remotely resembling" the alleged international agreement.

Speak er Gillett was expected to give a final decision today as to whether ho would entertain a motion to bring up the com promise soldiers' bonus bill in tho House this week under a suspension of the rules. Republican leaders in charge of the legis lation still intended to handle it in that way if possible in order to shut off a motion to recommit the bill as well as all amendments. L Altllpugh uo decision was reached at (the iBpoaker 's " conference with IIou o leaders late .yesterday as to procedui.. thero resulted at least a tacit ogrcemeii to take the bill un on Tuesday, ami should Speaker tiiliett adhere to his posi- tion regarding suspension of the rules, I tho measure would have to lie brought I . i .. - ri I up uien un.ier a speeu ru.e. men ; would probably be not more than several hours of debate under either procedure, tyhieh would bring a vote that day. Un der a special rule, even if amendments were shut off, a motion to recommit, would be in order, an Democrats iu that event aro prepared to move to re commit with instructions to replace the loan provision of tho bill with its origi nal cash payment feature. If such a motion prevailed it would re-open the whole question of financing the bonus. Speaker Gillett had given no indica tion early today as to whether he would change his mind on the question of sus pending the rules, but leaders believed ho would be guided by what he consid ered a preponderance of House senti ; ment. He was to confer further on the I matter today with Kepresontative Mon- dell, of Wyoming, the lb-publican lloor leader; Chairman Campbell, of the Rules Committee, and probably one orl two other leaden.

MARRIES OUTSIDE GLASS All Modern Woman Wants Is to Be Let Alone Declares Daughter of John D. Rocke fellerWill Be Slave to Husband if Married Outside Her Kind. (Bv The Associated Press.) CHICAGO, March 21. Kdith Rockefeller MeCormick, daughter of John 1). Rockefeller, Sr., tracing the progress of women, told repre sentatives of many women's organi- j zarions nere yesterday that "if a woman marries outsido her own class or tribe she'll be a slave. His tory proves it." Tlio meeting at which Mrs. Me Cormick spoke was preliminary to tho women's progress exposition t bo held here June 3 to 10, of which Mrs. MeCormick will -be chairman general. The engagement of Mrs. MeCormick 's 1(5 eur oU daughter, Mathilde, to Max Oser, (Swiss riding academy propcrietor. recently was, announced. v "In olden times," Mrs. MeCtr1 inick said, "if a man were' 'bored with the women of his own tribe; he went and stole a wife from another clan." Tho stolen bride had a sorry timo of it, according to Mrs. MeCor mick, who snld the women of tho men's tribe always hated the alien bride, who consequently had to de pend for happiness entirey nNn her husband, to whom she was vir tually a slave. From this condition, she said, there grew up "a kind of serfdom for woman which enmeshed women who married outsido their own tribe. This period of serfdom was an era of downcurves for women, she said, but it was sandwiched in between two upeurves, the ancient and modern. "Women arc now victors. But they are much more than victors," Mrs. MeCormick said, "for they have dono much more than fight for their place, which has been won through sociological development and growth. "All the modern woman wants is to be let alone, to develop, to demon strate, and to expand," sho said. 'Mother love is important, but it is nut everything. Woman's universal love is a bigger thing."
