WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-All at
tempts to pass at this time the census
bill over the presidents veto were
abandoned today by leaders of the
house and senate. The house commit
tee adjourned to meet at the call of

A hasty poll of both houses was not

over the veto quickly, particularly in

THE recall petition will be
presented to the city coun-
Il Gil next Tuesday with a
sufficient number of names GER
tilted as qualified, which means
that the election Of a successor to
Mayor Harper will occur before
April 1. Although today is a
legal holiday, City Clerk Lelande
and his force will work on the
checking Mr.. Lei 2nde takes tie
stand that it is an emergency
matter and should be carried
through as quickly as possible.
"The percentage Of names not
qualifying is less than the NUM-
cipal league has estimated" said
Mr.. Lelande yesterday. "The
petition is the c1eanest and best
prepared that has been filed SO
far. The pains taken in prepar-
ing it will save considerable time
and trouble. 1t also means a
saving Of much money to the
city. I have every expectation
that the petition will prove suffi-
cient without further amend
amendment"
BY keeping at work today and hav-
ing rushed the preliminary work by go
ing over the petitions at night, Mr..
Lelande believes it is possible to COM
plete the required number of verified
names by tomorrow night. The most
difficult part of the work has already
been completed.
Much interest is being taken in the
meeting at Symphony hall this after
noon to nominate a man to succeed
Mayor Harper. Several leading men
have been suggested following the
declination of William D. Stephens,
owing to his wife's i'll health. The
names suggested will be considered at
the meeting for which citizens who at
tended the former meeting have been
sent admission cards.
The meeting is an adjourned session
of the former meeting, at which the
chairman, Judge John D. Works, was
given authority to call the persons
present together again following Mr..
Stephens decision.
SteeIe's Work Commended
The excellent work performed by J.
p. Steele in connection with the circu
lation of recall petitions has caused his
name to be mentioned as secretary of
the campaign committee to be appoint
ed by Judge John D. Works to take
the active management Of the recall
movement until after the election.
The committee has not yet been an
nounced. but as soon as appointed it's
members will perfect an organization
for aggressive work to clinch the recall
of the mayor, which members of the
Municipal league are confident is an
absolute certainty. A Spring street
business man who was formerly 4
Harper supporter said yesterday that
the mayors opponent would win by
more than 1000 majority
