No man would be given tho bnnui txnttl he applied for It, and thU. it 13 believed, would reduce the total expenditure, as many service men who have wealth aro not expected to a?!: tho extra compensation. The application la to contain an affidavit that the soldier Is not In any of the above Clares. The plan calls for payment f tho bonus In four equal installments and the pales taxes are to bo collected In tho corresponding period a.

Men who were promoted to he 'tommWoned officers would bo paid only for tho tlmo they served as enlisted men. The committee la now Vraltlr.gr for estimates from the trtapury department as to exactly how much can bo raised by tho tax on Bales, but preliminary estimates place tho amount at about $ 1,500,O0A.00O. The levying of this tax uLso would be in the nature of an experiment as thero is sentiment In conrre-s for having It replace some of the other taxes later. For tho present, however, it must bo In addition to all other taxes. Under tho house committee plan, nil business with total sales of loss than J2.50O a year and all pvt. all farmers should be exempted. The tax would not bo paid by stamps as Ja the enso In the present consumption levies. Its collection, it la believed, would t etmple.

Indications that the government will firmly resist yielding on the question of libcrating the Irish hunger ttrikers was the outcome of debate started In tho house of commons Tuesday by T. P. O'Connor, nationalist, supported by John R. Clynes and other labor members. Earlier in the session Andrew Donar Law, the government leader, admitted that many of the Irish prisoners, both at Mount Joy, Dublin and in English institutions, are being detained without charges having been preferred against them and with no plans to bring them to trial going forward. Mr. lionar Law was replying to questions and added that under existing conditions in Ireland, where murder was so rife, it was necessary for tho protection of lives that persons be arrested on suspicion. Asks Probe During tho day's debate Mr. Clynes, pointing out the danger of the labor disturbances In Ireland spreading to England, urged that the arrested men be either tried or subjected to special treatment. Sir Donald MacLean, national liberal member, also suporting Mr. O'Connor ,the Irish leader, complained that prisoners without trial aro being treated as condemneel criminals and he advocated the appointment of a committee to investigate each case as was done after the rebellion of 1918. Mr. Bonar Law reiterated that there was no possibility of the government changing its decision and that any sign of weakness in this matter would only aggravate the situation.

NO GLUE TO BAM ROBBERS OBTAINED

Local Citizens Believe Half of Money is Now Being Spent in Chicago. Police official treat lightly the theory that any of the auto bandits a ho robbed the South Rend State bank Monday morning, might have lingered about town or that any per-.-ons answering to their description Acre seen in the Oliver hotel Monday r.ight. The robbers are sppposed to have made a quick rush for Chicago in their high powered auto. According . this theory, they chinged to the i:icar and Packard waiting for tbem e ar Westville. Tho red Studebaker in which they made their exit from .outh Bend was then left alone with he driver, who became scout, patrol ; :id emergency reserve. Two Doubled? According to the other theory, at aat two of the gang undertook to io the unexpected and doubled on themselves, returning to South Rend. Two men answering to the description of the robbers, walked into the Oliver hotel and purchased a newspaper. One of the young ladles at the news stand remarked that they looked suspicious. Tho -rnen answering the description of the bandits apparently overheard the young woman's remark, for they turned and rushed toward the Washington av. entrance to the hotel, and disappeared. Notify Polico. Police headquarters was immediately notified, and policemen who had not been given descriptions of the bandits arrived at the hotel. They wanted to know what the two men looked like. They were given a description of the two men who had bought copies of the evening newspapers, and citizens who had been given descriptions of the bandits, gavo these descriptions to the policemen. The consensus of opinion among the older merchants of South Rend is that the men who staged the robbery were professionals of most daring tj-pe, and that at least" half of the money is now being spent in Chicago, on the south side of the city. The Rums detective agency which does private work for the company insuring the bang against robbery, has an operative here investigating the case.
