illoustef ssalnst the Measure nlled
the air.
II was because OF these reports and
the further prediction that the absence
OF the president from Washington
would be taken advantage OF 10 amend
the bill in the senate so as 70 make its
passage impossible in either branch
that the president decided 10 remain
at the White House from now until
congress adjourned.
President Tart won the first phase
OF the fight when the bin was taken
up in the senate.
The senate rejected. - 10 81. Mr..
Bacon's amendment 20 strike ont the
house provision for the withdrawal of
funds from banks for the purpose Of
converting them into government
bonds.
The fight over the postal savings
bank bill has many angles The most
interesting. perhaps, is the fact that
the measure. which the insurgents
helped to frame and fully approved in
the house. is roundly denounced by
the insurgents in the senate
President Taft has promised 10
stand by the house measure. and he
believes that II was tacitly agreed that
in return for the acceptance by the
house OF the senate statehood bill. that
the senate would accept the house
postal bank bill. The house carried out
its part OF the agreement. and now the
president means 10 force the senate TO
do likewise.
BE that as il may, the president and
all of his advisers are agreed that the
house bill is by far the better of the
two. IL was only by heroic measures
that q bill was put through the house
at all, and il is not believed that there
would be one chance in a hundred of
having an amended measure favor
ably acted upon.
Taft Holds the Whip Hand.
1t is pretty generally admitted that
the president holds the whip hand In
the fight. and that as soon as a vote
can be reached the senate will accept
the house bill.
The river and harbors bill. contain
ing some hundreds of items in which
representatives and senators generally
are interested. is still unsigned on
the presidents desk and subject TO

went to court. Billy Brady was the
principal witpess. He told the Judge
how Mr.. Roosevelt. who had just been
elected vice president, went to the big

fact. Mr.. Roosevelt likes a good fight
