WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-The House sum-
marily crushed the attempt to subsidze John
Roach by vote Of 157 to SO. There has not
been time when the success OF this subsidy
was possible. Those supporting 1t have, for
week past endeavored to persuade themselves
that 1t might succeed. Not an hour before the
vote was taken dispatches were sent from here
announcing that its passage by small vote
was probable. It's supporters at least hoped
that the majority against II would be so small
that the Senate might be encouraged to persist
in its support Of the subsidy until the RESPONSE
bility OF forcing an extra session should appear
to rest not on those attempting to grant the sub
sidy. but on bare majority in the House op-
posing IT, The vote to- day ends this hope. The
defeat Of the subsidy is so crushing that the
responsibility OF an extra session Is left where
II belongs-on those supporting the subsidy.
The Democratic House will not yield. The
Republican Senate must The subsidy will not
pass.
At the close OF the last session the subsidy
failed because the House, standing on its an
cient privilege. refused to consider n bill Affect
ing the revenue which it had not originated.
great Outcry was made over this because IL pre-
vented n direct vote on The subsidy. To-day
direct vote WINS given. The non-concurrcnce OF
the House to the amendments made by the SEN
ate was divided so as To- bring vote on the
naked proposal of subsidy or no subsidy. The
majority against the measure proved to be
nearly M large as the sum Of the votes EAST for IT,

disorder OF these closing days. Blount OF
