R. Forbes, director of the Vetersna' bureau at Washington, before a Joint conference of national and state executives of the veteians of foreign wars, here today. In the conference were the members of the national council of administration and the department of commanders of the vetersna' organisations. Immediately following Forbes' address and a discussion which resulted in strong approval of a sales tax, the executive unanimously adopted a resolution, indorsing a sales tax with food stuffs exempted, as a means of raising the necessary revenue to finance the bonus. C. Hamilton Cook, Buffalo, N. Y., national commander of the Disabled American Veterans of the World - War, who was attending the conference by invitation, said his organization would take immediate action to support the resolution. The American Legion, which is the largest of the veterans' organisations, was not represented jat the meeting. "This means that the bonus bill is liable to be passed at the coming session of congress," Col. T. L. Huston, New York, national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said after the meeting. Colonel Forbes called President Harding by long distance telephone shortly before going into the conference, and in the course of his address referred to his conversation with the president. "I called him up becauae it was suggested to me that the bonus might be touched upon," he said. "I wish you know tha pulse of President Harding. I wish you knew his innermost thought. I wish you knew how he loves the ex-service men. "Harding is not opposed to a ho\ sua. He will nsvar he egpsead Is ft* lation have been sought; all sorts of means have been mentioned; and the most simple means of all those that have been brought to my attention is the sales tax to meet this obligation. "If congress had brought to the president the solution of the financial problem of this additional financial responsibility, he would have signed the bill. I believe the sales tax is the means whereby this obligation may be paid and the sales tax is the answer to the problem of paying the bill."

IUG PASSENGERS STILL MISSING Sault Ste., Marie, Mich., Dec. 17.? L'wenty*seven persons are missing md are believed to have drowned or iicd from exposure following the die ster, which overtook the tug Reliance vhen it hit the rocks of Lizard island our days ago. This was the fear expressed by fltcials of the Superior Paper company, owner ot the tug, who tolight, for the first time, admitted hat, in addition to the crew of 14, the Reliance carried 22 passengers. Seven survivors of the wreck reach, d here last night Two others. Mr. ind Mrs. John Harten, cooks, were offering so from cold And exposure hat they were left at a station of he Algoma Central railroad for medial attention by the other survivors. The last seen of the missing 27 >eraons was Wednesday morning vhen the Reliance, battling through a linding snow storm, went upon the ocks off Lizafd island, stripped her vkeel and sank almost immediately. Capt. D. A. Williams of this city tnd six others, who were forward, ook one lifeboat, while nine others, ncluding Mr. and Mrs. Harten, took he other. The second boat drifted everal hours in the storm and was down ashore on the Canadian mainand 86 miles north of here. Mrs. Harten was so exhausted that :he party was held up 36 hours in an Indian shack before it was able to tart inland for the railroad, which vas reached Saturday. The survivors .'xpress little hope that the others iarvived the storm. The announcement by the company tonight said that in the addition to he crew of 14, the Reliance carried 10 lumberjacks, an official of the :ompany'a forestry department and a isheriea company agent, who hac >een picked up by the Reliance on it! last trip to the lumber camps. The missing men, it is said by sur \ Ivors, left the wrecked tug in i uunch, which was carried by the Re I'ance in addition to it* two lifeboats It is pointed out thiit If the missini were huts, their problem of flghtinj ihe cold would not be so great, but being without weapons, their chance of obtaining food were declared to b eleuder.

MUCH MYSTERY SURROUNDS KILLING Richmond, Va., Dec. 17.?Investigation of the killing of Mrs. Thelma Hamm Richardson, stenographer, who was shot to death at the home of her former employer, Thomas Pollard, real estate and insurance man, Monday night, continued today without important development, although de 1.2 ? - -* -? ** wvn?? wurmiik uii ine rase saiu vney had collected additional facts which, they maid, may prove material when Pollard is brought on trial on a charge of murdor in connection with the young woman's death. Having finally rejected the theory that Mrs. Richardson was shot accicidentally during a struggle with Pollard, the police have centered their efforts in support of the theory that she was shot by Pollard following a quarrel over another woman, whose identity has not been revealed and whose alleged connection with the case has not been made clear by the authorities. T^he police insist there is another woman in the case, intimating that she is a choir singer in a local church. They also advance the theory that jealousy of this woman prompted Mrs. Richardson to go to the Pollard hone Monday night. Another phase of the case which occupied the attention of the detectives today is the part which J. Mosby West played in the tragedy. West is being held as an accessory in the killing of Mrs. Richardson. An analysis of the sUfitjment which he made to the police on the night of the killing has failed to convince the authorities that he has told all he knows about the visit to Pollard at his home 1 and what transpired there. ' The authorities said tbday they had failed to clear up three of the vital | points in .the .rase. The most important of thes^'^was said, is the exact 1 manner in\y sfth the woman was shot, The second point is the ownership ol the pistol with which she was killed 1 and the third is the exact spot when the shooting took place. * There Is a conflict in the statement) 1 of witnesses as to where the shoot ? ug happened, according to the policy 8 ties that the shot was n>4d whil ? Pollard and Mrs. Richardson wer< '' struggling in the vestibule of the Pol lard home. N"i"hborf> who were at ^ tracted to the scene declared the; first saw the body of the young wo man lying on the ground in an area way between the Pollard home an the house adjoining. Assuming tha the shooting was in the vestiblue, a West said, the police declare it i unlikely that the young woman, sho through the heart, could have walke the distance from the porch to th " lawn before she fell. Another incident which the detec tives say they have been unable t explain is Pollard's action in sum moning his lawyer and the latter' e arrival at the Pollard home severs minutes hefore the emergency of j ficers reached the scene. The firs ^ officers to reach the house said the; g found Pollard in consultation wit) his counsel, Hiram W. Smith, whil the body of the young woman wa lvincr on the lawn. The police sum moned the ambulance which rushei * Mrs. Richardson to the hospital, al though apparently she was dead be fore her body was removed. * This incident and the movement of West in the interim between th< shooting and the arrival of the polici are two of the most baffling angle: of the case, according to the authori ties. Pollard and West both maintaine< their silence during the seventh da; * of the investigation. Pollard ha made no statement regarding th * killing, following the advice of coun ? sel, and West has refused to tall l* since he testified at the inquest Thurs e day. Pollard is still at liberty unde $10,000 bond, while West's bail stand !r at $600.

The roof was burned off an adjoining three story building occupied by Brockman's retail and mail order book and stationery store and a num ber of offices and practically all the contents of the structure were a total loss due to tire and water. The Piedmont building on the south side of the Trust building was water soaked Tx 1 1 &ivraai ivwi IU tCUttl . 11 WHS flCHUquarters for the Piedmont Fire Insurance company and the Morris Plan hunk, and contained numbers of other offices. The tire was believed to have originated in the furnace of the Trust building and had gained great headway before it was discovered. Save for one or two minor injuries to firement there were no casualties in the tire, which attracted hundreds of persons. One of the heaviest downpours of rain Charlotte has had this year uegnn to fall about the time the fire was under control. In addition to the losses to business men and others whose offices and equipment were destroyed, the lodge rooms of the Dramatic Order, Knights of Khorassan, were water soaked. The Trust building, which also was known as the Academy of Music, had nothing left tonight but tottering walls, the front part of which had purtly fallen out. It was erected 18 years ago and was a brick structure. Within recent months it had been purchased by C. W. John; son at a price said to be $253,000. The total loss in the building occu pied by Brockman's store and offices ? was placed at more than $100,000, 5 while thousands of dollars of damage was done by water in the Piedmont 1 building.
