Baltimore, Feb. 22 Congress will pass a soldier bonus within two weeks and will pass it over tho President's, veto. If necessary, lt waa pre dicted by Senator Royal S.

Copeland of New York at the annual banquet of the Baltimore Chapter, American Institute of Banking, here last night The bonus, at a day for each day in the service, will cost the Government $1,385,000,000, Senator Copeland asserted. ''President Coolidge recently said in New York that a soldier bonus would cost $5,000,000,000. Secretary Mellon said it would $4,500,000,000. Both are wrong," Senator Copeland said. "Paying the former service men cash, it would cost the -country $100,000,000 the first year, and the entire amount would he paid off In 60 years in ever-decreasing amounts.

"Why, the interest on the money Great Britain owes us would more than pay tho bonus. 'Seventy of the HO Senators are ready for the bonus. We can pass it, and pass it again over a veto."

22 Arthur J. Davis' election to the superin tendency of tho New York Anti- Saloon League to succeed William Anderson, was made without fear of, or favor to anyone, because lie was tho best man available for tho post. This, in effect, was the answer to day of the Rev. Ptirley A. Baker, national superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, In reply to Rollln C.

Everhart. who resigned Wednesday as the editor of the New York edition of the American issue, after charg ing that the election of Davis was "a triumph for the forces in sympathy with Anderson." "Davis was appointed on his merits and record and the Anderson matter had nothing to do with the particular selection," the Rev. Mt. Baker, who is ill and confined to a hospital here, declared.

Maboile Oilman Corey, who on Nov. 22 last, won a divorce from William E. Corey, American steel magnate, today denied the published report of her elicagement to Prince Luis Ferdinand, cousin of the King of Spain. "You may say for me," she I am not engaged to Prince Luis or to any other pin-son." She declined further comment. I'rince Luis Ferdinand is the second son of the Duca di Galliera, who was married In lcS6 to the Infanta Fulalie of Spain.

The Prince was bom in 1883. The Infanta Eulalle is well known in the United States, having visited this country a number of years ago. While here she was the recipient of numerous splendid entertainments. grotesquely. It Is the rlewspaperman who has been drinking.

Somebody else laughs half hysterically, but the laugh dies before it has reached maturity, The newspaperman who had been drinking babbles, babbles, babbles. There Is something uncanny in the way he goes on. He is about or an age with the man who is to die. This is his first experience of the kind. The moon shines with full light cold but glorious He in the death house may be looking at it- for the last time.

Or maybe he cannot see It. He Is not yet 30. Odd what he said today; "The wheel of fate stopped at the number I myself set lt at." The moon bathes the stern granite walls in Wondrous radiance. It softens the hard lines of the buildings. It silvers the death house roof.

It has shone just so on many a Christmas Evethe eve of the great birth. The south gate slides back and tho little group files into a one-story building, oddly like the pump-house of a waterworks. This is the place. It is electrically lighted, has high, bare wooden seats like those In an old-fashioned meeting house and up toward the front of the building is a chair a terrible chair. A steam radiator in the corner clacks noisily.

Its voice is as strident as that ot the clock over the stairs inside tho main prison building. The death house must bo kept warm for the living, for the man who is to die. The witnesses take seats, the woman In the rearmost one. She Is very nervous. At the right a door a drab door, but It speaks tremendously.

Presently It will swing back. It connects with the death house. In which are many men condemned to take this same way. It is said that in the interval between incarceration and fulfillment of the law each dies a thousand times. The prison officials know of none who has not taken that last walk with something of relief.

The door swings open. Preceded by a keeper, he who is about to die appears. He does not seem a creature of flesh and blood, but sonic-thing unreal. Under the light he appears ghastly, as a man does under the violet rays of the Cooper-Hewitt lamps like a corpse. His motions are all unreal.

Can this be the same man who talked so flippantly before his conviction? A murmur of far away voices coming through the opening in the door. They sound eerie, creepy, with a certain hollow cadence, as if they came from the interior of a tomb. "Goodbye, Jack!" they call. "Goodbye, boys!" he answers. "Voices from hell," whispers some one.

The man flips a half-smoked cigarette into a corner. He has kepi a phonograph going until the las; moment like the woman in the play "Rain." and its strains die as the door closes, lt is a popular tune, "The Missouri Blues." He walks to tho chair and salutes it. He seats himself. A business of adjustine strans anil electrodes. The prison doctor stands, watch in hand, studying Its sman lace, it ticks like a heartbeat.

He, node, and the electrician steps to a cabinet and throws a switch. A blue light. A whir. "I pronounce this man dead." It is finished It is the prison doctor who speaks, bending low, stethoscopes in his ears- He nods to the other nhvsi. cians to come forward.

He who was. bout to die Is dead. Not five minutes before, he left a phonocranh playing a popular tune. The witnesses file out into the moonlight the- moonlight thar turns the granite wall into a thins of beauty, that Filvers the roof of the death house, that shines on the peacefully flowing river a few hun dred feet away. The man who has been drinking sober and silent.

A pause. Then somebody says: "We shall have to hurry to catch tho train." Mrs. Chiabiala Bawitz Seeks $25,000 From Landlords, Electricians and Lighting Co. For severe injuries she says she received when men "testing" a gas leak lit matches and caused a violent explosion, Mrs. Chiabiala Baevltz has brought suit In Supremo Court for $25,000 damages, naming as defendants Hyman Lcvison and Kate Blonsky, her landlords; Zadol Lubln, who put in electric wiring, and the Kings County Lighting Company.

The explosion occurred Oct. 25, last. In her apartment at 1424 43d st. Lubin. she declared, wired the house, tho lighting company had supplied the gas mier and tho land lords put in the pipes.

There was. a noticeable odor of gas in the apart ment, she declared, and Lubin and one of tile employees of the Kings County Lighting Company came in to see about it." With utter disregard for tho safely of Mrs. Baevitz's complaint says, the men lit matches to test the leak. In the resulting explosion the whole celling came down. Mrs.

Bac- vitz declares she reccwod a severe nervous shock, her sight and hearing were impaired and she was painfully injured and bruised. The Kings County Lighting through its attorneys, asked Justice Lazansky to dismiss the com plaint on tho ground that the com pany had no obligation to fix Interior fras leaks and Its employee was there inly as a courtesy. Justice Lazansky denied tho plea, pointing out that even if the lighting company was a volunteer in tin. mcrgency itr. employee was required to exercise reasonable care.

t-tcrllng St. Apartment Sold. The Bulkley Horton Company, through its Nostrand ave. otfice, sold the three-story, six-family limestone apartment building. 1 300 Sterling pl between Troy and Schenectady on a plot 26x130, for Joseph Gartner to a flient for investment.

22 United States Senator AValter E. Edge of New Jersey, in referring to the Sen ate oil Investigation in an address at a "harmony dinner" here last night, arranged by Camden Repub licans, declared that the Republicans am not intend to shield any one and that the guilty must pay tho penalty. He urged the Republican party to stand behind "tho courageous Coolidge," and said that ho was proud of his vote against tho resolution to oust Secretary Denby from the Cabinet. Ho would refuse to vote to indirt any one without he said. Ho declared the Senate had no right to tell the President how to rim the party.

"You have, perhaps," said Senator Edge, "been more or less uncertain on tho position of your party because of the succession of scandals that have been based, unfortunately, on things that happened. These, things may have weakened your belief in the Republican I say they must be met. Tho Republicans In the Senate don't intend to shield any public otticlal. Every guilty one must pay the penalty."

JOHN MOORE RAPS RADIO CRAZE U. of P.

Honors American Member of World Court. Philadelphia, Feb. 22 The present generation Is not Improving upon the precedents established in tho years made Illustrious by the achievements of Washington and bin contemporaries, said John Basselt Moore In an address at the Univer sity of Pennsylvania Washington's Birthday exercises today. Dr. Moore, who Is the only American member of the Permanent Court of International Justice, was one of six to receive honorary degrees from the University today.

He received the degree of Doctor of Laws. A similar degree was given to Judge Charles M. Hough of the United States Court in New York and Richard B. Mellon, banker, of Pittsburg. President Frank Aydclotte of Swarthmore College and President John MacCracken, Lafayette Col lege, were recipients of the degree of Doctor of Letters, and Charles S.

Fischer, director of the Univctoitv's expeditions to Egypt and Palestine, received the degree of Doctor of Science. Dr. Moore, after pointing out achievements in tl.e International sphere, said that if arbitral agreements are made today "there is a disposition to hedge vhem about with limitations and to emasculate them with exceptions, and it the award is against us, to question its justice or even its validity." "Such things," said Dr. Moore, "may imply either a change of attitude towards the method or a wane of confidence in its administration. But, no matter which lt may be, tho explanation reflects a state of mini just now prevalent, and by no means -confined to any particular subject." Dr.

Moore declared that the tendency in education was away from the over-emphasis which, for the last quarter of a century, had been placed upon the physical sciences, and back toward the classics. He defended the value ot the ancient languages, particularly Latin and Greek. The speaker referred to the popularity of the radio as an example of the tendency in certain quarters to popularize things ot transitory in terest as opposed to the more permanent value of cultural education.
