THE sUNDRY CIVIL BILL COMPLETED
ment Bill.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, March 2S.-The House
spent today passing private pension bills.
In ell 215 were passed. With one ex-
ception this is the record for the num-
Der of such bills passed at a single ses-
sion. The Presidents policy with regard
to the veto of bills to remove the charge
of desertion from the records of soldiers
came in for considerable discussion dur
ing the day Early in the session num-
Der of minor bills were passed. The
Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill was re-
ported and Mr.. Cannon gave notice that
he would call it up on Monday.
The first pension bill on the calendar
was to correct the military record OF
Calvin A. Rice and Mr.. Talbert Is. c.
made it the text of speech against this
class OF ellis. He referred to the veto
OF the President Just read and his other
vetoes of like bills. 81 am glad" said
he, ITO see that the Chief Executive has
come to my assistance to keep the roll
of honor from being besmirched by de-
serters. While / disagree with the
President in almost everything else,
heartily endorse his position in this
matter. L nave against the
passage of these desertions for ten
years.
He moved to lay aside the bill with
an unfavorable report.
Mr. Mann (Illinois) said that Congress
should consider the attitude of the
President toward a certain class OF
bills. He denied that the President had
declared that he would sign no bills
correcting the military records of soL-
diers. The President, he said, had OBJ
jected to the form of some OF these bills
which, instead of permitting the Secre-
tary of War to change the military
r. cord required him to make the change.
Mr.. Hay (Virginia) contended that if
special bills were only to be permissive,
not directory, then Congress had as well
pass a general law giving the Secretary
OF War permission to change military
records of any soldiers.
The bill was laid aside with a favo-a-
bic recommendation, Ga to 2
The House today passed bills tC

walton at Baton Rouge, La, to the

ciation at Winchester Va.
