VETO OF WOOL BILL
EXPECTED FROM TAFT
intimate Friends Admit President Has
Message Practically Ready to
Send to Congress.

Washington, Aug. l7.-President
Taft is expected to send TO congress
a veto message on the wool revision
bill, the conference report Oh which
has been agreed to by both houses.
That the president will ve,o this bill
and that he has his veto message prac.
tically completed is not doubted by
his most intimate friends. no,with-
standing the fact tina, at least one pro-
greessiye Republican member of his
! cabinet believes that the wisest course
the president can pursue is to lei the
bill become a law without his sigma
ture, while at the same lime sending
10 congress a message stating that it
is not proper to revise the tariff at
this time. that congress ough, TO wait
until it hears from the tariff board,
and that he intends to urge revision
of the tariff at the next session.
The political possibilities Of veto
message are discussed generally in
! Washington, and even the standpat
Republicans are wondering what Sena-
to La Toilette meant when he told
the senate this week that the rates
cont1 med in the wool bill before the
president are close to the report that
will be made to congress next winter
by the tariff board. If this statement
should prove to be correct. it might be
embarrassing to the president, in the
Judgment of some Of his friends, even
If congress should enact next winter
another wool revision bill substantially
similar to the present one. His po-
sition would be even more embarrass-
Ing, they say, if congress failed to pass
revision bill.
Assuming that the wool bill is to be
vetoed, the Democrats of the house
are planning to pass the bill through
the house over the veto OH Friday. On
the same Gay they will try to pass the
statehood bill over the presidents veto.
This action will be taken regardless of
the position of the senate. All Demo
Gratis have been summoned to Wash
| lngton for Friday.

DEDICATE SHAFT APRIL 1e
Date Thought Good One for Honor
to the U. S. Navy at
Vicksburg.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE new
monument erected in the Vicksburg
National Military park in honor of the
Union navy of the Civil war probably
will be dedicated April 16 next year.
This date, to which a good deal Of SEN
timent attaches, is under consideration
by the navy department. 1t was April
is that the army transports in con-
voy of Admiral Porter's fleet passed
Vicksburg prior to the investment of
that city by the Union forces July 4.
An advantage of the date is the fact
that the Mississippi river will then
be at high stage permitting the pass
age up as far as Vicksburg of some Of
the large warships to participate in
the dedication.

CRISIS IN ENGLISH STRIKE

THEY WON'T YIELD,
Military Authorities Prepare for Pro.

London, Aug. 17.-Meetings with a
view to settling the controversy be-
tween the railway companies and their
employees were held at the board of
trade, but when they were adjourned
the situation remained as far from
being solved as when they began.
The railway managers declared they
had been promised protection in run.
ming their trains and would not yield
to their men: the representatives of
the railway mems union declared the
strike would take place at the expira-
ton of their ultimatum.
At Aldershort the military authori-
ties are taking every precaution to
insure the working of the railway in
the event a strike is called. Every
soldier in the Aldershot command has
been placed under orders for duty.
All Soldiers to Be Armed.
All the soldiers will be armed with
rifles and ball ammunition. They will
be stationed along the railway lines
north and south of London, while tho
cavalry will be employed at stations
and also will patrol the lines so as to
be able to get quickly to any point of
danger. Trains will be worked by flag
signals.
1t is estimated that $4,000 men from
Aldershot will be prepared to move in
a few hours, trains to accommodate
that number having been assembled
there Similar prooou&;o,, ,1.. H..
been taken at all other military sta
lions in England, Scotland and Wales
so that in case of need every available
soldier will be on duty to insure the
continuance of railway traffic.
In the house of commons Winston
Spencer Churchill, the home secre-
taray, declared that non-unionists were
entitled by law to work without mo-
lestation and would be protected in
the exercise of that right. David
Lloyd-George also declared that the
government was determined to pro-
tect the railways and the food supply
at all cost and would not depart in
the smallest degree from its determin-
alton to protect life and property.
Meetings of railway men were held
In various provincial centers and at
oil of them resolutions were adopted
favoring strike.
A. H. Stanley, the American man
ager of the London Electric Railway,
including most of the underground
services, conferred all day with his
employees. At the conclusion of the
conference he announced that the COM
panies had made concessions which
the men accepted Professionally. 1t is
stated, however, that although the
men are satisfied, if there should be
a general strike of railway employees,
they will join it.
The government is coming in for
blame for the strikes both from the
Conservatives, who do not hesitate to
ascribe the upheaval to the Socialistic
policy of the ministers, and from the
Laborities, who denounce the cabinet
for it's reactionary spirit in employ.

of the most important appeals he had
made to the secretary

It's most essential portion, namely, the
statement of Dr. Rusby that I'VE have

Dr. Wiley stated that Solicitor Nc
Cabc held the decisive vote on the
board of food and drug inspection.
When Dr.. Wiley and Dr. Dunlap dis
was Solicitor McCabc who decided
whether a prosecution should be made.
In fully one hundred cases, said Will
ey. where he and DR.. Dunlap had
voted together and Solicitor McCabe
had disagreed with them. DR.. Dunlap
changed his vote to agree with Mr..
McCahc.
In two cases he did appeal, he adj

was seriously mcnaced." Ono of
these involved the labelling of gluten

strength OF the flour. In this case the
secretary upheld the board.

ATWOOD ARRIVES
AT TOLEDO, OHIO.
LANDS AFTER THRILLING FLIGHT
1000 FEET ABOVE CITY IN
VIEW OF THOUSANDS.
$40 MILES OF TRIP COMPLETED
Aviator Forced to Stop Five Hours for
GasoIine.-Has a Narrow Es-
cape When Machine Hits
Treetops.

Toledo, Aug. 17.-Exactly $40 miles
from his starting point, Harry N. At
wood, Boston aviator, who is attempt
ing to break the worlds long distance
aeroplane record by flying from St.
Louis to New York, alighted in Toledo
after completing the third day of his
trip, with spectacular flight 1000
feet above the city.
He covered the 1873 miles from Elk
hart, Ind, to Toledo with only one
stop and in actual flying time of 2
hours and Sc minutes. He started
from Elkhart at sos a. M, and was
compelled to stop at Pettisville. Ohio,
for more than five hours because he
ran out of gasoline, and, continuing
his journey, guided by the tracks of
the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
railroad, he alighted in Toledo at 1902
p. m.
Between some. of the stations At.
wood beat the scheduled time for or
binary trains. In the last lap of the
days run he whipped up such a speed
as hardly to be visible for longer than
a minute at any one angle. The 33
miles from Pettisville into Toledo was
run in so minutes, including delay
for starting and time lost in circling
around the city in search Of land
ing place.
The Boston mans arrival here was
as exciting as was his trip over north
ern Indiana and Ohio. Steam whistles
and thousands of people on top of Of
fee buildings greeted him as he came
in from the west. All the way he had
been gliding uphill" to get a good
view of the town, he said. Instead of
alghting in the west end he shot over
the city and landed near the mouth of
the Maumee river in the eastern Sec
ton.
Aviator's Arrival Exciting.
Intense interest marked his prog
ress. When swooping low to read the
names of the railroad stations great
crowds, including farmers who had
come in from miles around, frantically
yelled for him to come down. Some
brought bouquets and lunches for the
aviator, while policemen and ] lnici-
pal officials abandoned their posts to
join in the ovation.
Atwood is now 745 miles from New
York With $40 miles already travelled
he will, on arriving in New York, have
to his credit, 1866 miles as computed
by railroad mileage, including 2S6
miles from st. Louis to Chicago, $40
miles from Chicago to Buffalo, NJ Y,
and 439 miles from Buffalo to New
York City. But Atwood asserts he will
be entitled to considerably more than
this, as he covered so or more miles
in circling over st. Louis and Chicago
and made detours en- route.
He said he would not definitely de-
eide until after his arrival in New
York whether he would continue on to
Boston.

5AN DIEGO TO
CELEBRATE

+ San Diego, Cal, Jan. "A program
designed to occupy at least three days
lis being arranged for the occasion of
the breaking of ground for the Panama
California exposition in 1915. The
ceremonies are to be held at some ap-
propriate date during the coming
spring, probably in the early part of
April and the plans that are now be-
ing laid for the event indicate that it
will be the biggest and grandest pub
lie affair ever undertaken in southern
California.
Announcement already has been
made that Count Jacques de Lesseps,
son of the great Frenchman whose
genius conceived the plan of the Pan
anna canal, will come to San Diego to
preside over the ceremonies, and the
outline of the program, as now made,
gives one day to the civic ceremonies
with appropriate exercises in Balboa
park, the site of the exposition; an
other day to splendid pagentry and
dramatic discovery of the Pacific
ocean, and the early settlement of Cal
ifornia and San Diego, and a third day
to outdoor games and sports on land
and water, with fitting close in a
night of joyous revelry
Landscape Architect John C. Ohm
sted, who has been at work upon the
plans of the arrangement of Balboa
park in San Diego for several months,
promises that everything will be in
readiness for the breaking ground
ceremonies early in the coming spring,
and it has been planned to begin then
the erection Of the first one of the ex-
position buildings, probably the great
art museum, which is to remain after
the close of the exposition as one of
the permanent features of San Diego's
wonderful Balboa park. Those who
attend the ceremonies next spring will
be able to gain comprehensive idea
of the scope and character of the
unique international exposition which
San Diego is preparing.
Invitations are to be sent to the gov
ernors and other officials of all of the
Pacific coast states, and to many other
persons in the United States
ard other countries to attend the
ceremonies and fako mort - tho,,,
Letters have been received by Col. d.
c. Collier, director general of the ex-
nosition, saying that excursions will
be brought to San Diego from various
parts of the country for the occasion.
1t is not over estimating to say that
ten thousand people will be
attracted to San Diego to witness the
novel and spectacular ceremonies.
