PLAN TO POOL
WHEAT CROP
STATES OF THE NORTH-
WESTARE FORMING' IN-
TO AN ASSOCIATION
KANSAS CITY HEADQUARTERS
Under the Plan One Trustee Will
Be Elected From Each of
of the States Rep-
resented Kansas City Mo — An American
Wheat growers’ exchange represent-
ing ten states which have already
taken stepS to establish “an orderly
marketing program” for grain was
proposed in a tentative draft of a
marketing plan drawn up by repre-
sentatives of the National Wheat
Growers’ association and the North-
west wheat growers The states con-
cerned are Kansas Oklahoma Texas
North Dakota Nebraska Colorado
Montana Washington Oregon and
Idaho
The plan contemplates control of a
wheat pool of 100000000 bughois and
will be submitted to the directors of
the two associations for action Con-
ferees at the meeting said it was
hoped to have the plan in operation
in time to handle this year’s crop
Under the plan trustees would be
elected from each state association
to fix zones for marketing Each
zone would have a central marketing
city One man from each state asso
elation of wheat growers would com-
prise the membership of the pro-
rosed national exchange
Decision as to the city where the
general headquarters of the exchange
will be located will not be determined
definitely for some time Kansas
City was tentatively selected
ASKS 90-DAY BONUS DELAY
A Two-Thirds Vote Will be Required
to Put it Through
Washington D C — A delay of
ninety days in enactment of the bonus
legislation was suggested by Presi-
dent Harding as an alternative for the
imposition of a sales tax Representa-
tive Hawley of Oregon a republican
member of the ways and means com-
mittee said
The thought was he added that by
that time a part of the foreign debt
would be refunded and money with
which to finance the bonus could then
he obtained from that source
“In making the effective date of the
hill October 1 1922 or four months
beyond the suggested ninety day
period” said Mr Hawley “the com-
mitee has met that suggestion”
Although a two-thirds vote would
be required to put the hill through un-
der such a procedure republican
leaders were discussing the question
of calling up the measure under a sus-
pension of the rules This would preclude-
the possibility of amendment
and ordinarily would limit debate to
twenty minutes on each side
STORM CLAIMS 5 VICTIMS
Villages in South Carolina and Geor-
gia Ravaged by Tornado
Augusta Ga — Five deaths appeared
to be the total of fatalities in a torna-
do which recently ravaged villages
near here in other parts of Georgia
and in South Carolina The storm cen-
tered according to reports at War-
rensville S C where in addition to
the five persons killed a number
were injured The nearby Carolina
towns of Langley and Granitesville re-
ported no casualties but accounts of
extensive damage from all three
places brought out numerous In-
stances of close escapes
In Warrensville where twenty-five
houses in the southeastern section of
the villages were demolished the
homeless uninjured immediately set
about the work of rescue guided
through the blinding rain in the dark-
ness by the cries for help Many said
they had been awakened by the rum-
bling of the storm and thp trembling
of their houses just in time to escape

FLASNES JOKE AS SHIP SINKS
30 MEN HAVE NOT BEEN
HEARD FROM SINCE
Radio Operator Aboard Doomed Nor-
Wegian Steamer Jests )ith
Death as Ship Upturns
New York N Y — The grim humor
of a wireless operator who laughed
at death and flashed striking hits of
wit into the ether as his ship the
Norwegian steamer Grontoft wal-
lowed and slowly sank during a mid-
Atlantic hurricane recently recorded
on the radio log of the Danish steam-
er Estonia after arriving here Thirty
men went down with the vessel
Each detail of the ship’s plight
each call for aid was supplemented by
the jesting comment of the radio man
tie talked as if he were going on
a lark in port instead of to the bottom
of the sea His last message a dis-
jointed one was a series of witticisms
— with death as the butt of the joke
Vessel Turns to Aid
The Estonia herself hard hit in the
110-mile gale made a valiant but un-
successful effort to reach the Grontoft
which sent out calls for aid reporting
her position as about 700 miles east
of Cape Race The Estonia at the
time was 48 miles west of the dis-
abled Norwegian and steaming in an
opposite direction Captain Hans Jor-
genson ordered his ship about and she
steamed slowly toward the Grontoft
Meanwhile Radio Operator Hansen
engaged the operator of the Grontoft
in conversation The latter sent out
first the following — a stereotyped
irony of the seas:
“God pity the poor sailors on a
night like this” then followed a series
of “Ha Ha"
“And say” he continued “the old
man thinks this calm will be over by
nightfall We sure need some breeze”
An hour later an urgent call for aid
was sent out by the Grontoft and her
operator jested again
“Well the steward is making some
sandwiches for the lifeboats Looks
like we are going on a picnic” Again
a half hour later he sent: “The old
wagon has a list like a run down
heel” “This is no weather for a fel-
low to be out in without an umbrella”
“Hold on” returned the Estonia’s
wireless “we’ll be along side soon”
The Grontoft did not reply until forty-
live minutes later then: “We are
sinking stern first The ’bows are
smashed can’t hold out any longer
“The skipper dictated that — he
ought to know — where did I put my
hat — sorry we can’t wait for yoU
pressing business elsewhere — S —
No Trail of -Wreckage
The Estonia’s operator quoted in
reply these lines: “What dam of
lances brought thee forth “To Jest at
dawn with death?” But there was no
answer
Six hours after picking up the first
call from the Grontoft the Estonia
reached her reported position and
though she cruised about for four
hours failed to find even a trace of
wreckage
Three Lose Lives in Blaze
Cheboygan Mich — One man is
dead two boys are believed to have
been killed and three blocks in the
business district are in ruins as the
result of a fire which swept Cheboy-
gan and was only checked when ad-
ditional apparatus was rushed in from
Gaylord and Grayling on a special
train to aid the city fire department
The loss Is estimated at from $500000
to $1000000 Frank J Hohler a baker
was caught beneath the falling walls
of his own shop and killed Two other
boys were reported missing after a
wall had fallen showering debris on a
crowd of spectators
MELLON TIES
SLAP AT BONUS
SECRETARY OF TREASURY
DECLARES IT IS VERY
UNWISE PLAN
NEW PUN ISVERY DANGEROUS
Tha Year’s Cost Will Run too IHigh
He says and Suggests That Pres-
ident ' Harding’s Sales Tax
Plan Would be Better
Washington D C — The soldiers’
bonus bill as drawn by house repub-
licans was attacked by Secretary
Mellon as Involving “a dangerous
abuse of government credit"
Replying to a request for the treas-
ury’s comment on the new bonus bill
Mr Mellon in a letter to Chairman
Fordney of the house ways and means
committee made public by the treas-
ury criticized the features of the pro-
posed measure providing for loans
by banks upon adjusted service cer-
tificates as indirect and “forced’ bor-
rowing by the government
He suggested that “the direct and
regular way” to provide for a paid-up
endowment insurance feature would
be to authorize insurance certificates
with provision for direct policy loans
to be financed by the government Mr
Mellon contended that “it is both
dangerous and unwise” to attempt to
avoid the cost of the bonus for the
time being
Direct Basis Best
"There is no way he said by
which the American taxpayer can
avoid the burden and if a bonus is to
be imposed it is far better for all con-
cerned that it be placed upon a direct
and definite basis and paid for each
year out of current revenues To do
this at this time will necessarily mean
the Imposition of additional taxes for
the purpose”
The secretary estimated the cost of
the bonus under each of the possible
choices ottered to veterans at more
than $1200000000 by January 11926
Whatever form the bonus measure
might take he asserted would mean
a cost to the government of from
$300000000 to $400000000 for the
next three or four years and possible
continuing liabilities thereafter ' ol
more than $200000000 a year until
1943

000 for 1925
Although the senate committee ad-
ded nearly $70000000 to the postal
budget as passed by the house

for 1919 to 1921 to determine whether

pensation An increase of 100 In the number

PEACE PACT BEFORE SENATE
A HEATED FIGHT IS SEEN
AHEAD FOR LEADERS
It Was Stated That If the Pact was
Not Ratified it Would Mean Fail-
ure of the Conference
Washington D C — Friends and op-
ponents of the four-power Pacific
treaty in the senate met in their first
general skirmiBh recently at a stormy
session which touched on virtually
every disputed question of the armB
conference program
Taking the initiative for the admin-
istration Senator Lodge of Massachu-
setts the republican leader and a
member of the American Arms con-
ference delegation told the senate in
a carefully prepared address that the
four-power pact had its “main pur-
pose” in abrogation of the Anglo-
Japanese alliance and that if ratifica-
tion was defeated it meant “failure of
the conference"
Senator Reed democrat Missouri
replied that either the treaty contem-
plated more than thq republican lead-
er had admitted or else it was a
“farce” and a piece of “international
bunkum”
If the national policies of Great
Britain and Japan were such as to
make continuance of the Anglo-Jap-anese
alliance a real menace to the
United States the Missouri senator
declared no promise to “consult” in
future controversies would be worth
the paper it was written oh
Support of the treaty was expressed
by Senator Fletcher democrat Flor-
ida while Senators Robinson demo-
crat Arkansas Watson democrat
Georgia Borah republican Idaho
and France republican Maryland
joined witbr Senator Reed in attacking
it
One of the many subjects on which
Senator Reed cross-questioned Mr
Lodge was the celebrated “difference
of view” between President Harding
and the American delegation as to ap-
plication of the four-power pact to the
homeland of Japan The republican
leader Insisted that there had been no
“understanding” among the delegates
for Inclusion of the homeland within
the treaty’s scope and that the sup-
plemental treaty on that subject had
been signed because Japan had asked
for a change in the original agree-
