HELEN REYNOLDS SEEKING WORLD’S RACING HONORS

Earl Reynolds, known all .over the world as “Skater” Reynolds, is here this week at Proctor’s Grand theatre with his wife and Nellie Donegan, who has held the world’s figure skating championship on rollers for twenty years and his two daughters, Helen and Maudie Reynolds. Helen Reynolds was the premier skater of New York Hippodrome big show last season and has developed a contender now for the world’s skating titles both on ice and rollers. Her father will take her to London in an effort to secure a snatch with the winner of the Olympic ice title at the Princess Ice Rink, London, the party sailing June 16th on the Empress of France. Earle Reynolds was asked regarding the skating game here in America, also a few pointers on the real champs of their day and the present. Mr. Reynolds said if any critic in sport, no matter who he may be, can prove to him that there is one athlete in America that has won more races than Frank Kramer of Evansville, Ind., but later of Newark, N. J., “they can receive one of the handsomest presents that I can buy them here in Albany.” “My business is athletics, a skater, both on ice and rollers,” said Mr. • Reynolds, “and it is claimed that I have made more money in this line than all the others put together. I have listed Frank Kramer as the winner of more races than any man living.”— Troy (N. Y.) Times.

The Evening Republican.

DELEGATES AT LARGE SHOULD SUPPORT WOOD

Fort Wayne news says editorially “Senator Johnson concedes his defeat in Indiana and in admirable spirit declares that Indiana delegation should support General Wood in the national convention as the race in Indiana lay between Wood and Johnson. The other aspirants not being within the distance flag it would be interesting to know upon just what grounds opposition to an instructed delegation is based if Senator Johnson so graciously yields how can the others decently hold out.” And Anderson Herald says editorially, “the returns show that General Wood had a plurality in the state it would therefore seem that the fair thing to do would be to instruct the delegaes at large to the Chicago convention to vote for general Wood. Having disposed of the state as ’ a unit it might be fair to class each congressional district as a unit and select delegates to the national convention from the various districts with reference to the vote of the districts as shown by the primary returns.” Other papers including Indianapolis News, Marion Chronicle, Liberty Herald, Union City Times, Goshen News-Times express same editorial opinions. The editor Of The Republican is in favor of the thirteen districts selecting delegates to the National Republican convention and that such delegates reflect in their votes the sentiment of the Republican voters as expressed in the primary election held on May 4. Likewise we believe that the four delegates-at-large who are to be electea in the Republican state convention to be held Wednesday and Thursday in Indianapolis should be instructed to cast their votes for General Leonard Wood for the nomination for president for the reason that Wood received a plurality of the Republican voters of the state at the state wide primary.

AGREEMENT ON SOLDIER BONUS SUBSTITUTE

Washington, May 10.—Republican members of the house ways and means committee agreed today to bring in a substitute for the soldier bonus bill with the proposal for a 1 per cent tax on sales eliminated as a means of raising the necessary funds. Other tax provisions of the bill would be extended over three years under the agreement. Under the new bill compensation for home service is reduced from $1.25 to $1 for each day of service, while payments for foreign service remain at $1.25 a day. Payments would be made for service from April 6, 1917, to July 1, 1919, under the new bill instead of April 6, 1916, to January 1, 1920, as under the pending measure. Payments of the cash bonus would begin April 1, 1921, and be continued in twelve quarterly installments. The four options for the cash bonus, home or farm aid, paid up insurance and tuition for education would have a 40 per cent increase in value over the cash bonus, under the sub-measure, instead of being determined on a- basis of $1.75 a day for each day of service. The plan of reclamation of land so as to provide farms was changed in the substitute bill to eliminate the SI,OOO loan and also to reduce the authorization for carrying out | the scheme from $300,000,000 to $250,000,000.

Eliminate $400,000,000.

The republicans estimated that approximately $400,000,000 in the cost of the original measure has been eliminated and that the remodeled bill would call for a total expenditure of $1,400,000,000. Taxes levied by the bill would become effective next December and would include the increase on incomes, tobacco and real estate sales and a new levy on stock and grain exchange Chairman Fordney, of the committee, said tonight that the new bill would remove much of the opposition in republican ranks resulting from the original proposal to raise some of the revenues through a sales tax. The new measure will be offered to the house as a compromise and Mr. Fordney < said a caucus probably would not be necessary.

A typical April shower visited this section this morning.
