They were said to have informed him of the rejection by the special sub-committee of the sales tax proposal made in his letter last weck to Representative Fordney. Confers With MacNider Before seeing the president, Mr. Fordney conferred with Hanford MacNider, national commander of the American lLegion, and John Thomas Taylor, legislative agent of the ILe- gion. Mr. MacNider and Mr. Taylor called at the White House to see the president, but were informed that his engagement list for the forenoon was filled. They said they would return later in the day. Legion Wants Action Mr. MacNider said the l.egion was opposed to any further delay and in- dicated that it was his desire to pre- sent his views to the president. He reiterated that the Legion would not be drawn inte any discussion of ways and means for raising the necessary honus, indicating that it was interest- ed only in the speedy passage of the legisiation Will Pass Bill On leaving the White House, hoth Mr. Mondell and Mr. Fordney said the house would pass a bonus bill at this session. Mr. Mondell stated that he could not say whether a measure without means of raising the revenue could be put through the senate. Asked of ways of financing the ad- justed compensation he replied again to expected savings i the next fiscal year but, he would not give an esti- mate as to what this amount would be. He indicated that the question of the refunded foreign debts as a means had heen hrought up at the White House conference, but declined to say what views the president had expressed.

He worked on his message Saturday and again this forenoon, but was not ahle to complete it in time to deliver it to congress today. Favorable Report Committee consideration of the arms conference treaties was com- pleted today when the senate foreign relations committee ordered favorably reported, without reservations, the general Far Fastern and Chinese tar- iff treaties. In both cases the action wad unanimous. The committee acted virtnally without discussion after a statement regarding the proposed Chinese cus toms revision had been made by Sen ator Underwood of Alabama, arms committee, which drafted the tariff pact. As a result, a general report em- bodying the committee’s recommen- dations regarding the four power Pa- cific treaty, the naval limitation treaty, the submarine and poison gas treaty and the two treaties favorably acted on today was prepared for sub- mission to the senate so that it could begin debate on the pacts as soon as a ratification vote is reached in the separate treaty relating to Yap. The leaders hoped to conclude the Yap debate during today's session and to bring up the four power pact tomor- row.

Quigley Ready to Start. George A. Quigley, candidate the republican nomination, his drive in the latter part of the week with a meeting in one of the local halls, the place of meeting to he selected at a later date. Angelo M. Paonessa, who last week announced that he would seek the honor of heading the democrat tick- et, has completed the work of organ- ization and in the course of a few days is expected to announce n meet- ing date for the formal opening of his campaign. Cornelius J. Dehm, who announced himself as willing to enter the may oralty race, has made no further statement concerning his desire to head the republican ticket, and in the absence of such statements, it is gen- erally supposed that he has received no material support from the powers that be, Marsh Believed Out. Likewise, A. P. Marsh, whose name was mentioned in some circles, ang who has expressed a desire to run, has kept under cover, and it is not expected that he will come forth with an announcement of candidacy. On the democrat side, Joseph M Halloran s expected to a candi date. The former mayor is known to have had candidacy in mind for fev- eral weeks, at least, and it is reported authoritatively that he had heen giv- en reasonable assurance that he i acceptable to the democrat powers. This, despite the fact that Paonessa in the meantime announced himself. Curtis Still Silent. Mayor O. F. Curtis as yet has made no definite statement either that he will be a candidate or that he will re tire from politics at the close of the present term. Both in republican and demoacrat quarters, however, it ‘s taken for granted that he will run This belief, which has bheen current for many months, was strengthened last week when it was disclosesd that Conncilman Howard Hart was ready to furnish financial backing for Cur- tis' campaign, and that a subscrip- tion list was being circulated for tadt purpose. Third Party Tn Field. As was the case two years ago, a third party will again be {n the field.

Nohle at §10,000, resulted from a fire s morning in City Hall in an attic directly over the Kitchen of the New Britain club. The damages were al- most entirely the result of water soaking from the strcams of water shot into the clnb rooms in an effort to check the flumes from spreading to city admiaistrative offices and other tenants of the building. Wiring is Blamed Several theories have been advanecs ed as to the cause of the fire. Mana- ger Joseph Sheppard of the club ex- pressed himself as of the opinion that defective wiring was responsible for the outbreak and this belief is shared by Head Waiter Garrit who said that on several occasions in the past he had extinguished tires of small consequence in the attic, due to the |wiring.
