REGULARS JOCKEY PROGRESSIVES FOR CONTROUN HOUSE Democrats Watch Dissension —Watson May Run for' President. By Tim t Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—1s half a loaf worth vlng ? That is a question Republican leaders in the House of Representative have been trying all week to answer. Would it be wiser to yield to the Progressives in perfecting the House organization, or to ride rough-shod over the claims of all but regulars? This is what the regulars would like: Selection of Frederick H. Gillette, Republican, Massachusetts, as Speaker of the House, and Nicholas Longworth. Republican, Ohio, as party floor leader. In addition they would relish unhampered control of such importna committees as Ways and Means, rules, Banking, and Interstate Commerce. The Progressives demand: Selection of William J. Graham, Republican, Illinois, as floor leader, and strong representation on all committees into whose control will fall the important economic measures. The La Follette progressives would much prefer Henry A. Cooper, Republican, Wisconsin, to Graham as floor leader, but would probably accept the latter as satisfactory under the circumstances. House Make-Up Determined The make-up of the House, and thus indirectly the nature of all the leg islation it will attempt to enact is now being determined. Control of the party floor leadership would enable the regulars to head off progressive legislation. That it would enable them to put through their own type of legisla tion is another question. If they carry their demonstration too far, they fear the La Follette progressives may be found with the Democrats —if the Democrats oppose reaction. Representatives of sixteen railroad workers' organizations in conference considered their stand on legislation affecting farmers and industrial workers. They denounced as absolutely j false statements given out in "Big j Business" newspapers that thy railway workers had decided to abandon all efforts to coopesute with the fartners in obtaining. enactment of pro- ' gressive legislation. A resolution was adoptc-d in favor of the continuation ! of all possible eoeqieration with the j progressives in the next Congress. Bonus or Tax Reduction Bonus or tax reduction? If somebody would only solve the riddle of lower taxes and the bonus, too, much loss of sleep would be prevented members of Congress, in whose minds the questions apparently are hopelessly tangled. Maybe a rem.nder to Europe that it owes us money would help. At least Senator Smoot (Republican), Ctah. thinks such a note, nicely worded by the State Departmen* should be sent. Three members of the debt funding commission, Secretaries Hughes, Mellon and Hoover, are opposed to have Uncle Sam assume the role of hard-boiled bill collector. So even if Representative Burton (Republ can). Oh o, the lifth member, j should favor the idea the vote would I be three to two against. "I’m against Hiram Johnson. I don’t know if I am for myself or for Coolldge.’’ That is the substance, of utterances by Senator Watson (Republican), Ir.d.. on the presidential situation. Watson May Run. Watson will run against Johnson in the Ind-ana pr marits, if he thinks that the best way to keep the delegates from the Californ.an, he says. Senator Johnson’s arrival in the capital failed to produce an announcement of his candidacy from President Coolidge. The latter's supporters want him to come right out and admit he wants the job again, and to get into* all the primaries. Democrats contented themselves this week with watching the growing dissension in Republican ranks and observing at a safe distance the efforts of Bosses Murphy, Taggart and Brennan to find a way of heading off McAdoo's booming boom. The veterans bureau slipped off the front page into secret executive sessions. Department of Justice is expected to enter shortly with criminal activities agai nst former bureau officials. Veterans’ organizations are now engaged in drawing up, both with and without the aid of the Senate investigating committee, remedial legislation to be introduced as soon as Congress assembles.

CHANCE ED SPREAD WARNING DESIRE OFWOMENVICTIS Bank Employes Tell How Trio of Robbers Held Them Up, “Don’t tell me that dreams don’t come true,” Miss Chelsea Coggeshall, 4302 Vi E. New York St., olerk In the Tuxedo State Bank, 4304 E. New York St., which was held up and , robbed of $8,774.19, Friday by three armed bandits. “Why only yesterday I was telling Miss Neary (Miss Grace Neary, assistant cashier) of my dream in which a lone bandit came in and shot Mr. Castetter. our cashier, because he would ndt tell him where we kept the money.” My dream bandit escaped without obtaining any loot, but he did enough damage while he was here,” Miss Coggeshall went on. "What made me angry was the way j those real bandits ordered me around ! and told me to open the cage door and ! stand against the wall. I did what they told me to do, but I was hoping that they would be trapped In the bank or that someone could have gotten the license number of their machine.” Phone Rings On “The telephone kept on ringing while the men were in here and that ! all added to my discomfort while j standing up against the wall under I threat that I would be shot if I turned around. If 1 had known that Mr. Corbin was standing directly behind my hack I wouldn’t have been so frightened, for If the handits had fired the bullet would have to go through him before it reached mo.” “I never wanted to u§e a telephone so much before in all my life,” Miss I Neary said. “If I could have reached ! the phone that was ringing and given j a cry for help I would have been satisfied, because I knew It would be use- ! less to try to get a revolver out of the drawer.” “If the handsome one of the three, who seemed to bo the boss, had only smiled Instead of scowling and barking out orders. It surely would have i relieved the strain that I was under. All of the men seemed nervous, and I think if any of us had made a move we would have been shot.” "When the men told us to put our hands up I asked them what they wanted to do. as the officials of the bank have told us that in case of robbery that we should surrender the funds and not jeopardize our lives. When we were told to open the cage door I was greatly relieved, as I had feared that wc would be asked to open the safe." On With the Dance “Well, I must get back to my work now as I want to hurry home and prepare for the dance tonight." “You may read about these people that grab a bandit’s gun and turn the tables on him, but I am telling you that I was doing everything those men told mo to do,” said William Keough, real estate manager of the bank. “One of those men surely shoved me plenty hard when I looked at him closely while going back of the cage," : Roy McCal’le. 951 Sherman Dr., a cusi tomer in the bank during the robbery, ; said.
