Free List Measure Vetoed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-President
Taft's message Yetoing the so-called
farmers free list bill was read in the
house this afternoon.
The president declared in his mes
sage that the bill was 90 carelessly
drawn that it was uncertain just what
articles we're covered by it. He sharp.
~ criticised every section of the bill
and declared the language too am.
biguous to be practicable.
MIR. Taft objected to the principle in
the bill which admits raw materials
free and keeps the machinery necessary
to finished product on the dutiable
list. Lastly, the president based bis
veto on the fact that the tariff board
has had no opportunity to report on
the schedules affected by 1t.
On the conclusion of the reading Of
the presidents message, Representa-
tive Underwood, the democr attic house
leader, moved that the bill be passed
over the presidents veto. A roll cal
was begun.
The house failed to pass the fret
list bill over the presidents veto, th'
vote being 226 to 137. The two.third

Made Millions From Sand Bank.

NEW YORK, August 16. - Patrick
Goodman, plain, weazened, old
resident of the New York east side,
who died week ago, left an estate
valued at more than s3,OO0,000. His
will has just been filed for probate,
leaving large bequests to various
charities and the residue to two Irish
relatives whom Goodman never saw.
A dozen nearer relatives, who do not
figure in the will, will contest it on the
ground of mental incompetence.
Most of Goodman's wealth was made
by the purchase of sand bank at Port
w ashington, L. l.. The sand proved
valuable for building purposes, and
he established a line of barges to
bring it to the city. His profits were
enormous,

Livestock Values Decrease.

HELENA. Aug. 17.-There is not .
thoroughbred bull in Montana this
year. Any man who claims he is
raising thoroughbred bulls is either
prevaricating. or else the assessor is,
for according to the returns received
by J. J. Ryan, clerk of the state
board of equalization. no such AMI
NAL is to be found in the state.
Last year the returns showed there
we're only nineteen thoroughbred bulls
and sixty graded bulls-seventy.nine
bulls was the total number. This
years returns show, however, there
are 7,644 graded bulls in the several
counties.
Montana's sheep industry declined
in value 50, 500 900, the cattle industry
not quite half million, and the horse
industry gained more than 81 800, 900

Aags flying all over the city and the
strains of martial music filling the air
with melody, Rochester today vel
coined the union veterans OF the coun.
try to the 45th national encampment of
the Grand Army OF the Republic.
Grizzled and gray and tottering under
the weight of years, but with undimin-
ished patriotism, the warriors of q
passing generationilpoured into the
city today by thousands and were
given a reception such as has seldom
before been accorded the Grand Army.
All Rochester joined in the prepara.
tions for fittingly entertaining the
veterans.
The electrical display will be of un.
precedented brilliance, with $4,000
lights blazing forth each night of en-.
campment week. Fourteen huge can
opies have been erectedsat the priuci-
pal street intersections, each contain
ing more than thousand!bulbs. There

Congress Preparing To Adjourn.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Spesker
Clark of the house today expressed
the belief that congress would adjourn
tomorrow. Whether this prediction
will come true depends on the speed
with which the cotton bill is passed to-
day, and the presidents veto message
is sent in.
Leaders of the sen ate and house
reached an understanding at 2 p. N.
that congress would adjourn tomor-
row morning, but the word will be de-
termined by the convenience of Presi-
dent Taft. Members OF both parties
agreed that 1t would be discourteous
to the president to adjourn without
giving him q chance to transmit to the
house his veto of the cotton bill. II
was decided, however, that no action
would be taken on the veto message.
