‘BONUS’ BILL IS SNAGGED; DEBT DELAYS ACTION Veterans’ Compensation Measure May Be Held Up Several Months. BORAH SCORES PROGRAM WASHINGTON*. June 25.—Unexpected obstacles to the veterans' adjusted compensation bill has arisen which Senate leaders declared today may delay passage of the measure for several months. Republican leaders were reticent in discussing the changes in the legislative program. Several Senators simply said it wag deemed unwise to push the legislation at this time. It is expected by Senator McCnmber of North Dakota, who is handling the bill in the Senate, and other advocates, that funds for paying the veterans' compensation which would not begin until after July 1922. would be derived from interest on the foreign loan. The unexpected attack of Senator Borah of Idaho on the “bonus” bill algo is said to have some bearing on the chbnge in plans. If the biU were pressed at thig ] time leaders fear that continued attack might do much to make the legislation j unpopular with the country. While the President has taken no definite position on the legislation he is said to favor the plan for compensating the war veterans. CITY ATTORNEY TAKES PETITION TO HIS OFFICE (Continued from Page One.)

of the remonstrance In case it is shown that there is reason to believe that fraud was perpetrated. “Several persons have made suggestions to me that there is fraud in some of the signatures,” he stfid. “I have no information upon the subject, but if I receive reports that would justify an investigation it will be made.” Under the memorial law the city council must fix the date fbr the special election not later than therty days after the filing of the remonstrance. The election shall be held “at a general city election- or at a special city election, to be held for that purpose.” the memorial act states. It does not fix a time limit within which the vote shall be taken. The council will follow both the letter and the spirit of the law in calling a special election, declared Russell illson. president. ‘Whatever the law says shaL be done is exactly what the council wil do. of conrsa.” Mr. Willson said he feels certain the election will be set simultaneously either with that for voting upon constitutional amendments in " September or the municipal election in November because the council would not desire to burden the taxpalyers with the cost of a separate voting date. Action by the council is not expected before the second regular meeting next month, which falls on July IS, six days before the expiration of the thirty day period within which the council must fix a date for the election. The next regular meeting is on the evening of July 4, but it is not likely the body will do much more than meet and adojum because ot the holiday. It was believed by some lawyers that the statute would not permit the vote It the constitutiohal amendment election for the reason that it reads, “or at a special city e-.ectlon. to be held for that purpose.” ‘ The attorneys contend that the words, “to be held for that purpose." exclude the possibility of a joint vote on the memorial aud constitutional amendments. SIXTEEN ADDITIONAL V NA-MES ARE BROCHT IN. Sixteen additional signatures of remonstrance against the city’s plan to proceed with the memorial plaza plan withont an election have been filed with the city clerk, bringing the total of petitioners to 12.898. More petitions may be filed next Monday, it was announced. Denial was made by Mr. Miller to the statement that some signatures in the petition were subject to Question as to validity. “Two men brought in petitions early in the campaign that did not look good.” said Mr. Miller. “Later we learned that one of them thought he had only to list the remonstrators. not get their signatures—a very stupid thing, but stupidity is commonly encountered. The other man did not return so he mHst have been dishonest. “All our petitions have been scrutinized by a handwriting expert, a bank official of established repute, and those about which any question was raised by liim were held np. “It has become apparent that we were right in the beginning of our campaign when we decided not to seek publicity. There is every indication now that for every grain of truth that will be printed about this extravagant project and those who oppose it a ton of lies will be fed to the public. We are content to let this matter go to an election. The people are so overwhelmingly opposed to this thing that even the world's champion primary manipulators can never thwart their will. INVESTIGATION IS WELCOMED. “An attempt is being made to show that we were actuated in this movement by money. That is a deliberate falsehood. We began this thing with our own money. We had enough to get our petitions prepared and to meet preliminary expense. When our object became known several men came to us with offers of contributions. We accepted the money and spent it in the work So far as I know not a penny cyme from any man or woman who owns property in the proposed ‘devastated area.’ “We welcome an investigation of the petition, provided the lavr is respected and no attempt is made to waste time. We will fight to see that our petition gets a square deal. “More ex-service men have signed this petition than are represented by the overmthusiastlo town-boosters and swivel •hair warriors who are opposing it. It s a dangerous and unwise thing to assume to speak.for the ex-soldier as does the Indianapolis News. There come times when the soldier does not wish to have his words manufactured and promulgated to serve another man’s purpose. If Charlie Jewett and his friends want a monument to his memory they should chip in and buy it, not charge :t up against unwilling citizens who would rather help the ex-service man get ' living.”

MORE THAN ONE RED MENACE IN UNITED STATES New Order of Golden Fleece Composed of Red-Haired Women. By FREDERIC J. HASKIN. WASHINGTON—What does the color, abundance and texture of your heir reveal concerning your character and abil/v? The question is sharply raised by the news of a banquet which was held this year by an unique organization In the University of Nebraska. It is known as the Order of the Golden Fleece, and its membership is composed entirely of young women whose hair belongs to one of the many shades vulgarly described as red. According to authoritative reports the members are classified on the 1 club rolls under the following color headings: Squash, carrot, pumpkin, orange. brick, scarlet, flamingo, maroon, copper, auburn, henna, mahogany, magenta, sorrel, strawberry, roan, russet, eerise. carnation, salmon, shrimp pink and pink. Lemon, ginger, insipid brown and chemicals of all kinds are barred. Prizes are awarded at the annual events for the bright flame of color, the greatest qnantity of hair and that of the most beautiful shade. This organization interesting aad perhaps alarming to the general public as an example of one more kind of class feeling. It is well known that class feeling and the tendency to organize on a class basis are on the Increase. We now have associations not only on capital and labor, but also mothers' leagues, parents’ leagues. consumers’ league, writers' leagues. There are leagues bused upon every possible role which one may play in life, whether in business, politics, society, marriage or sport; hut heretofore, go far as we can'learn by exhaustive research, there has been no effort to organize on a basis of physical characteristics, if a few Jolly Fat Men’s Clubs be excepted. ORGANIZATION HAS ‘ ALARMING POSSIBILITIES. This tendency lo organize on a basis of hair color, therefore, is a thing of great and alarming possibilities, especially if red-beaded women take the lead in the matter. Imagine if you can an insurrection of the International order of red headed women. And this organizing of red headed women Info clubs will undoubtedly Intensify what you might call the hair class-feeling. The Order of the Golden Fleece will no doubt make a pretty thorough study of all the data bearing upon red-headedness and each member will come away from its gathering with a clearer notion of the special destiny which her flaming top has prescribed for her. There seems long to have been a sort of general agreement that redheaded persons have peculiar characteristics. It is generally believed, for example, that they liave hot tempers and strong'einotions generally. In the last century a simile in common use was “easy as making love to a red-headed girl.” Since the rise of the Nietzsche-Shaw-Meachen school of philosophy, which holds that woman is a dangerous predatory animal l>etit in hunting man down and making a slave of him, this has been generally revised to read “dangerous as making love to a red headed girl.” Whatever basis this sa ring may have in the experience of Tuan, it is ample evidence of a general popular feeling *hat red-headedness is a quality of the' mind and temperament as well as of the hair. For some reason, there is no similar popular idea about other hair colors, but scientific research shows that hair is a great revealer of character in an indlThat is, it shows what race predominates in the make-up of the individual. and therefore what racial traits 'he may be expected to have. This." it appears is 'ess true of the redheaded than of cither blondes or brunettes. Red headed ness occurs in both hlonde and brunette races, as a sort of sport-color. It does seem to be generally associated with certain emotional and nervous characteristics, but these are peculiar to the reds of all races. That they are by no means necessarily disadvantageous is shown by the great number of successful red headed men and the wellknown popu'arity of red headed women. But black hair or blonde hair is distinctly indicative of race, and It is only by such physical characteristics that race may be detected these days. Race now conforms to 'national boundaries very little. It would be easy to find an Irishman and a German who w-re of exactly the same racial type, and. two Irishmen who were as different racially as an Italian and a Swede.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HAIR AND RACES. There are three principal races in Europe, according to the anthropologists—the Alpine and the Mediterranean. The the Nordic, the Alpine and the Mediterranean. The Nordics are the tall blonde men with long heads native to the north, as for example the typical Prussian or Norwegian. The Alpines are a short stocky race with brown hair and flat heads inhabiting east central Europe, as for example a typical Swiss peasant. The Mediterraneans are a short, dark, longbeaded rijee. inhabiting the south of Europe. as for examp’e a typi-al Italian. In addition to these there are many other races in smaller numbers, such as the Old Black Breed in * Ireland and the ancient Iberian race in Spain, but these have had relatively little influence on the mass of European and American population. The other three races are badly mixed up all tnrough central and western Europe and in the United States. Hair color is significant as showing whether Nordic or Mediterranean blooa predominates In the individual. It does not reveal the presence of Alpine blood so readily for the Alpine stock usually show brown hair of an intermediate and indeterminate shade. The shape of the head would be more valuable in detecting that particular strain. The Nordic and the Mediterranean stocks have different qualities, according to the anthropolgists. The Nordics are tußed for their combativeness, tbeir ability and their sense of or- j der. The Mediterranean race, on the

other hand, is noted for its artistic and musical ability, and its creative genius generally, while in war and government it is not so conspicuously successful. It is the theory of some scientists that nearly all of the great European governments were organized by Nordics. They claim that the original Romans were Nordics from the north, and that when this stock died out. due to an unfavorable climate, the Roman government collapsed. This pretty theory has never tern proved. In fact, the whole matter of race characteristics is little understood. Typically, a tall blonde man should be a good executive, a reliable, conscientious fellow, not apt to get excited or act suddenly on impulse, but rather lacking In imagination and enthusiasm. These latter qualities should be found rather in a brunette. , You can find much to contradict this notion, and you can dismiss it with a shrug if you want to. But you can also find by common observation some facts to support it. For example. Is it without significance that the engineers of ocean-going boats—men upon / whom many lives depend are almost always blonde men—either Scotchmen or Scandinavians? Ahd how - many snch tall blonde Scots and Swides will you find in such occupations as designing, interior decorating, teaching and performing music, which require a sense of form and color, a delicate ear for sound. It is well to study lrnlr color ns one more key to, the mystery of personality, hut let us hope that the tendency to draw hair-color lines wlil not spread, ami that the Order of the Golden Fleece will remain local. • Former Policeman Held J*or Vagrancy James George, 30, 310 North West street, formerly a city patrolman, was arrested today on charges of vagrancy and bis bom] was fixed at *IO,OOO while tho police investigate a story said to have !>een told l>y Lucille Kuddetli, 13, of Martinsville.

SIMS REBUKED; NOT SQUELCHED Sorry to Embarrass Government, but Feels Same Way Toward the Sinn Feiners. WASHIGTON, June 25. Rear Admiral William S. Sims regards as a closed incident his public reprimand by Secretary of the Navy Danby for his now famous “Jackass" speech In London, it was Indicated today. Sims reaction was described by close personal friends as follows. 1. He has no Intention of resigning from the Navy because of anger at the official rebuke. 2. He Is not bothered in the least at the reprimand, nor does he feel "squelched 3. lie is sorry that he embarassed the, administration, but ho still feels the same about Great Britain and the Sinn Fein as he stated in his speech, despite the reprimand. Admiral Sims has left for Newport, R. 1., where lie will resume nis station as president of the Naval War College. President Harding's conference with Rear Admiral Sims immediately after the latter had been publicly censured by Secretary Denby for his London “jackass” speech, is believed to have taken some of the sting out of the reprimand. There was no official authorization for such an assertion, but an impression prevailed— based somewhat on the admiral's demeanor as he emerged wroni the \\ hite House—that his meeting with the President had been cordial, despite the official rebuke just administered to him by the Navy Department. The Administration was believed to have been put in a predicament by Sims' speech coming at a time when the Irish question was being used by some interests in an effort to stir up hostility between this country and Britain. The criticism Sims' speech roused here necessitated the public reprimand, although the Administration policy is believed to be a maintenance of the close and friendly relations with Great Britain

GOMPERS BEATS LEWIS IN FIGHT TO RULE A. F. L.

He said there was no 111 feeling or rancor in his mind. George Perkins, president of the Cigarmakers’ Union, nominated Gompers. Gompers gave the gavel to George Berry, head of the International Pressmen's Union, as the nominating speeches began. Tbe veteran leader sat on the rostrum at Berry's side as Perkins paid tribute to his services. The speaker told of the energetic campaign carried on constantly by Gompers. During the last year Gompers made scores of speeches, traveled nearly 40.000 miles and took a lead in many , movements, Perkins stated, GREEN NOMINATES LEWIS FOR PRESIDENCY William Green, secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers, placed John L. Lewis’ name in nomination. Green has long been associated with Lewis and was one of the leaders of his campaign for | the presidency. Green said he would not make ati.V criticism of any other candidate, especially that of Gompers, as he has given his life to the movement. Green told the convention that Lewis came from the "school of the mines, J where he worked as a boy. He reviewed the rapid rise of Lewis to leadership In the miner’s organization. Green turned to the criticism of Lewis' action In calling off the strike of coal miners in 1919 when forced by the government injunctions. “It was a case of 400.000 miners against the Government of the United States."

' The Federation, after a stormy debate lasting until early this morning, went on record condemning the third Internationale, the soviet Russian labor organization. The convention practically unanimously endorsed the executive's committee report disapproving of Bolshevist Russia, but expressing sympathy with the Russian people and declaring also that they soo: will have an organization through which American workers can cooperate wilh the Russian toilers. The debate w-as marked by a tilt between Gompers and D. C. Short, representing the Telegraphers’ Union, Chicago. Short, unable to get the floor to speak in favor of a milder declaration accused Gotnpers of “machine rule.” Gompers shouted Short .nttst withdraw that remark or face charges. After a moment’s hesitation Short withdrew the statement.

ONCE GREAT SEA PORT NOW CRIES FOR FOODSTUFF Batum Is Bleak and Desolate After Capture by Bolshevist Forces. NEW YORK, June 25.—The once prosperous Black Sea port of Batum, formerly a busy point of entry for a rich trade between Europe and Transcaucasia, is now bleak, desolate and crying for food, declares Melville Chater of New York City, a worker for .the Near East Relief, In a report to Charles V. Vickery, general secretary of that organization. Chater accompanied the first food ship to arrive in Batum since the city was captured by the Bolshevists early In March. His report, written about a month ago, gives the first detailed description of the economic situation In Transcaucasia to be received since the Inauguration of the Soviet regime in Georgia. Chater was the first American to arrive in Batum after that port fell into Bolshevik hands, relief officials declare. “The people are living largely on a sort of bread known as ‘maize,’ Chater reports. “It Is dark yellow, and mixed with what seems to be macerated straw, very bitter, and so soggy tha f , merely in handling it, the hands are left damp. It is certainly not a dainty morsel to eat. ‘‘What lingers longest in the memory, however, was not this bread nor the general condition in the city, but the appalling plight of approximately 4,0C0 Armenian refugees, sheltered in sixteen wretched buildings, once barracks, but now designated as the ‘refugee quarter.” The people they shelter are mostly from the villayet of Bitlis, In Turkey, adjudicated to Armenia by President Wilson's arbitration. They have been refugees since the Turks took Erzinjan three years ago, and are waiting execution of the Treaty of Sevres to return tome, since they fled Bitlis during the war, th<>* have been tramping the rough reads across the mountains, riding on freight cars, and otherwise moving about from place to place, now and then ordered by the Government of the Armenian Republic back into their own province cf Armenia, only to flee again upon tenewed anti-Armenian activities of the Turks. “Their rotting rags, their filth, their specter-like emaciation is almost beyond description. I found three new-born babies, born of mothers who had never beeh able to nurse them, sucking bits of rags, in which was knotted up a paste of water and maize flour. “The soviet official who took me through the quarters said, before we entered, ‘We call this place Hell. Do you really want to see it?’ I don’t wonder that he asked the question. In the qavern-like darkness of these crazy, rotten buildings—your feet sank through holes in the floor, if you were not careful- these unfortunate wretches were herded Ilk? beasts, dumb under the suffering of that semi-starvation that had become second nature to them. “There was food for about three hundred. less than 1 per cent of the total. This number was all for whom there was work, and only those who work, according to soviet rules, can receive food from the government? Mercifully, spring has arrived and with it the grass roots upon which the great bulk of these people have subsisted for a long time. “When I came out I found a group of refugees gathered about a dead man.
