Washington, March 21.— Republi- can members of the senate finance committee decided at a meeting today to seek advice of President Coolidge before putting the bonus bill ahead of tax legislation, a step apparently favored by the committeemen. It is the opinion of the majority members, Chairman Smoot said, that the committee should know what ex- penditures would have to be met through passage of the bonus bill be- fore determining the amount of rev- enue which must be raised under the new tax rates, He and Senator Cur- tis of Kansas will confer with the president. Senator Smoot again threatened | night sessions of the committee if | greater speed in considering the rev- | enue bill is not mado in the next few | days. He criticlzed “dilatory tactics” | of some of the members and pointed | out that three weeks had been spent | in going over only the minor details | of the bill, None of the rate sched- ules has been reached. If decision is reached to put the bonus ahead, it probably will be taken up early next week \rr Smoot said, sters and sentenced to 10 days in New Haven county jail. When arrested the woman said her husband had left her on their farm with the fivé chil- dren by a former marriage and four of her own to care for. Unable to do so she said, she hitched up the family horse and conveyed her stepchildren to the town fathers. Borough officials later looked up the father, who said he had left the farm after quarrels with his spouse during one of whieh she had threatened to shoot him. With the aid of the children the rifle, which the woman is alleged to have ‘used, was found hidden in the home, Naisner- ski agreed to take the homeless tots back to the farm with him and do his best to care for them, In the meantime au- thorities in New Haven, in which city the children were born are investigating the case with a view to lodging them in the county home.
