(STILL WORK ON DETAIL. Finance Committee Proposes Some Alterations, but Nothing Radical. By David Lawrence. jpecial Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, April 26 (Copy- fight).—Negotiations between the ‘American Legion and the Senate Finance Committee are proceeding fatisfectorily, but the reports of an re untrue, The suggestic Pilicy be given ow etlfixted: compensation cethe ¥ tr Ns jbeen declined by the Legion, It was Mr. Smoot's own proposal and not that of tho Finance Committee. “We have neither abandoned the House bill nor agreed upon any sub- stitute,” said Senator McCumber, Chairman of the committee, to this correspondent to-day. Inquiry at American Legion head- ers disclosed the fact that with ‘the exception of a few minor details there is virtually no change in the position of that organization, which 1s insisting that the House bill be adopted. The fundamentals in the new pro- Posal made by the Senate Finance Committee in its informal talks with he American Legion are substantially Kqpese: First, the House bill provided that payments in cash be made in October, 1922, and the Senate wants to make it three months later—January, 1928. There is no objection from the Legion. Becond, there has been a sug. gested limit on the time the soldier could make his application for any of the five ways of receiving a bonus. The Senate committee proposes to eliminate the time limit, which, of course satisfies the Legion. Third, the House bill provided that if the number of days a man served entitles him at the rate of $1 or $1.25 (depending upon overseas duty) to a total of $50, he shall receive cash, The Senate suggested the total cash be raised to $100. The Legion dissents because the outlay under the House bill would be about $16,000,000, while it might cost $100,000,000 under the Senate plan. The Legion is anx- fous that the immediate cash outlay whall not embarrass the Government. Fourth, the Senate committee pro- Cesdoes also that even if the total due ‘an ex-service man amounts to $109 or lees he shall be privileged to chuose ‘the adjusted certificate plan. This, of irse, does not displease the Legion. ie aid in the purchase of a home or a farm as covered in the House bill would enable a man with $300 due him to get that sum advanced toward Js mortgage. The Senate committee ‘Bessens $400 be the limit and that he payments be made in instalments of $200 a year, beginning January, 1023. The Legion feels the total mount should be advanced at once. Siath, the Senate committee has Proposed that, as an incentive foward the taking of the certificate (Continued on Second Page.)

Apparently brooding over her hus- band’s inability to buy her new eloth- ing, Ida Vivian Morelock, nineteen, drank carbolic acid to-day and is in a critical condition in the Jersey City Hospital The young mother from breakfast at their home, No. 198 Fifth Street, Jersey City, this morning with her twenty-two months’ old baby, Doris, still holding the child, drank the poison, Her husband Charles, twenty-three, called in Mrs. Pauline Wills, a neighbor, who took the nipple from the bottle the baby arose nnd, while was nursing and poured the milk down the mother’s throat as an antidote. Mr. Morelock told the police he and his wife had never quarrelled during thelr three years of married life and he could ascribe no motive for her action, Mrs, Wills said that on their way home from a motion picture theatre last night she and Mrs. More- lock were attracted by a hat in a milliner’s window. “My husband would buy me that without any question if I asked him,” Mrs, Wills remarked at the time, to which the younger woman replied, “You're lucky, my husband doesn't make enough to buy me clothes.” Polis «= «{§ Halt Rum Runners into a tre Police Launch Almost Cap- sizes When Craft Being Pursued Makes Quick Turn —Crew Attacks Policemen. The police boat John F, Hylan, on bootlegging patrol, at just about day- break this morning took note of the Ideal, a clumsy looking motor lighter, coming up the Narrows, hugging the Brooklyn shore, far out of the chan- nel, The John F. Hylan signalled to Launch No. 2, Sergt. Richard Whalen commanding, to “go get it.” The lighter picked up speed scan- dalously as the launch eame in sight but the police boat gained rapidly Sergt. Whalen hailed twice and thea fired two shots over the fugitive. Ac- cording to Whalen, the Ideal made a quick turn and went by him at close quarters nearly capsizing the little police craft. Whalen, and Policemen Braisel and Rau, his crew, all emptied their revolvers. They make no denial of their willingness to have hit James Carlton, of No. 672 Fifty- sixth Street, Brooklyn, pilot of the lighter, the only man who remained in sight after Whalen’s first warn- ing shots, The Ideal stopped with the least necessary delay. Whalen and Braisel climbed aboard ana were met by a rush of the pilot and the crew of the Ideal.

GENOA, April 26 (United Press),— Seyen categorical questions vill be presented to Russia by the convening powers of the Genoa Conference to- day. Prompt answers are demanded. Lioyd George, no less than the French, is determined that the Soviet delegation's evasions and contradic- tions, which have brought the parley dangerously near disaster, must cease, The questions to be submitted are designed to clarify previous contra- dictory and confusing statements by Chicherin and his colleagues. They were prepared by Allied experts and submitted to the Allied chiefs for ap- proyal. ‘They have not yet been made Public but are understood to be: Is Russia prepared to recog- nize she is not going to get the $2,500,000,000 loan, and to discuss credits? If so, does she intend to per- mit a modicum of Allied super- vision to guarantee those credits? Does Russia now understand that when the Allies propose to “write down” war debts they do not mean “wipe out?” Exactly what ts the Soviets’ at- titude toward restoration of private and foreign property rights in Russia? Will Russia reiterate its Inten- tion to pay her pre-war debts without constantly interposing fresh conditions?

The earthquake was preceded by an eruption yesterday of Mount Amma, ninety miles northwest of Tokio, which: broke out with a loud report, pouring forth volumes of ashes, stones and smoke. No sertous damage was caused by the eruption. The earthquake caused the death of a few persons, none of the victims, however, being Americans or Euro- peans, There were many escapes of the narrowest sort from collapsing chimneys and walls. ‘The American Embassy was slightly damaged and many of the exhibits at the Peace Exhibjtoin were broken, The shock was one of the most se- vere exporienced here in a long period, Officials stated it lasted fifteen min- utes, the longest in years.
