Pigs are turning up their noses at garbage nowadays and the Board of Health blames it on home brew. ‘The board, in its annual report, said the ‘ge amount of mash and other brew- ing and distilling refuse was hampering the collectors of gar- bage and has decided that these same elements have made the gar- boge distasteful to the pigs. They refuse to eat it, contrac- tors report, and as a result the contractors are protesting, and the board is considering rules to require householders to separate the waste from kitchens and from ills. THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 165, 1922. PRIEST SECRETLY ~ ABRAENED FOR BROTHER DEATH Father Delorme Pleads Inno- cence and Retains 4 Most Prominent Attorneys. LEFT HIM ALL. Prosecution Charges Clergy- man killed Kin for $25,000 Insurance Bequest. WILL MONTREAL, Feb. 15.—Laying aside his priest's soutane for a suit of gray and tweed, Adelard Delorme privately this morning on a charge of mur- dering his half-brother, Raoul Do- lorme, an Ottawa University student, on Jan, 6. Father Delorme faced Judge Cus- son in the office of the Chief of Police rather than in open court, and was remanded for pleading until next Tuesday. Even newspaper men were barred from the hearing, which was attended only by the accused, the Judge and a few officials. The priest was arrested last night after a Coroner's jury returned a verdict accusing him of the murder. The youth's body was found in a suburb with six bullet holes in the bead. The prosecution announced it would attempt to prove that Father Delorme committed the murder to obtain $25,000 in life insurance which young Delorme bequeathed him in a long-missing will, discovered yes- terday. Father Delorme has retained four of the city's most prominent lawyers to defend him. Revy. was arraigned —__o—_—- At the hearing before the Coroner, ‘Theophile Marot, actuary of a life in- surance company, testified that the priest had come to his office to thank him for a birthday gift and while there they discussed insuring the young student. He said the priest asked for quota- tions on a $10,000 policy, and figures on $20,000 and $25,000 policies also were given him. He testified that the priest stated he wanted the boy to save money and that when Raoul returned from Ottawa he would speak to the young man about it. Marot further testified that the priest came again to his office, this time with hfs half-brother, and the application for the $25,000 insurance policy was made out. When the clause relating to payment in the event that the policy became a claim was reached, the witness testified that Father Delorme sald: “You are young. In your place, 1 would make {t payable to my heirs. You can then dispose of it by a will or otherwise.” ‘This was done, the witness de- clared, and later Father Delorme telephoned the agent, inquiring if the policy was ready, explaining that he wanted to make his brother a present of it. Marot sald he obtained the policy and delivered it to the priest at his home, young Delorme being present at the time, Police officials testified that when they asked Father Delorme about the will, at first he said it was in Ottawa, then that it was at the office of a local notary, and finally that he did not know where !t was. caneientinennnesrs FEDERAL OFFICIAL RELIEVED OF DUTIES “Dry” Case Charge Reanlts in Ace (lon by Ally.

(Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Feb, 15 (Copyrixht, 1922).—President Harding has Just i decisions, which, ir- respective of anything else that may m: le two bra’ happen to his political fortunes, stand out as milestones in his career, To turn his personal and political associate, Senator Henry Cubot Lodge on the matter of rebuily ing the Leviathan in the Boston Yard, which chanc Mr, this fall, was to do something which few Presidents have had the courage to do, To turn down the almost unanimous demand of his party as- sociates in Congress for either a bond issue or a series of direct taxes to raise money for soldier bonus was down friend vy. the re-election meant much to 8 of Lodge for will nev which preceded the Chicago Conyen- tion of 1920, he came out for a sol- dier bonus. Things were said by him and sundry other candidates for the Presidential nomination which he ad- mits were not as sound in judgment as he finds things to be upon enter- ing executive responsibility. But faith- ful to his promise, insisting that he never failed to keep a promise pub- licly made, Mr, Harding does not now y that the bonus is wrong in prin- ciple but he stands .by it and will sign a bonus bill, Fortunately for him, he did not promise an exact date or specify generally the time when payment would be made. His position, therefore, to-day is what it was last summer—the time not ripe for a bon Maybe it r be during his Administra- tion, but so far as the outlook at the moment is concerned, Mr. Harding reluctantly concludes that the bonus payments must be abandoned tem- is | porarily. The sales tax is looked upon with more favor by Mr. Harding than any other spectal also no simple matte Both decisions have been based up- on what Mr. Harding himself admits were the inexorable laws of business and sound finance as against the will of polities and special favor, Briefly, Senator Lodge was put in an embarrassing position by some voters in his constituency who saw no reason why the Boston Navy Yard with 2,500 workers should not get the benefit of the work to be done in reconditioning the Leviathan, Mr.| Lodge was persuaded to introduce an amendment to a pending appropria- tion bill, which would have compelled the United tes Shipping let the contract to Navy Yar to disregard the bids already for the work by private firms. ‘The adopted the amendment but rding listened to the ob- tions of Chafrman Lasker of the Shipping Board, who declared that several firms had already spent many thousands of dollars in makir veys to determine how much to bid and that sound business principle dictated the necessity of giving t work to the lowest bidder Mr, Harding was similarly advised by Secretary Denby of the Navy Dc partment, It was hard, however, to say to Mr. Lodge that the amendment adopted by the Senate must be ig nored, It is true the amendment wasn't law and isn't law yet, But a word from the President would have jeaused the Shipping The vard to defer to 1 1 |Senator Li lent jthe utmost confidence |Lasker and he showed |way by following the latter tina ul n recom \mendation instead of t | Believes Additional in Chairman] taxes suggested for paying the bonus. But the Executive Inclined to wait until the whole taxation programme is again revised so that the sales tax may absorb the present taxes as well as the new taxes required to pay the bonus. Political pressure for the bonus has been intense. It has been met lately by strong pressure from business in- terests who also have political in- filence and who are depended upon when it comes to campaign contri- | butions. In the of conflicting political currents Harding has decided to give first consideration to the condition of the United States Treasury, which he is conyinced will not stand further drain at this time. Sound finance has triumphed over party politic |MILLER OPPOSED TO MORE TAXATION FOR STATE BONUS Levies Would Do Service Men More Harm Than Good ALBAD Ireb. announced to-day to the to pay 14.—Goy.

Summarizing his data, which is given with minute detail, Mr, Robinson says: “It appears that on the lines of the Manhattan elevated railroad (I. R.
