HOUSE PASSES WOOL
BILL OVER TAFT VETO
IT is BELIEVED SENATE WILL
VOTE LIKEWISE.
SPEAKER TURNS THE TIDE
Ruled That Ten Members Voting Present
Could Not Be Counted-President
Is Criticised.

Observation-Disclosures Taft's veto was
overridden and the house again passed
Tuesday the compromise wooden tariff re
vision bill by a vote Of ia to 80, with
ten members voting present. There were
81 Republican members voting with the
Democrats to enact the bill into law de.
spite the presidents opposition.
"The senate has not acted on the veto.
Whether it can be overridden in that
body is uncertain, although an effort will
be made to do it. 1t is stated that from
fifteen to twenty Republican senators
must vote with the Democrats to defeat
the Veto" Representative Ollie James
said late this afternoon. II think we
have enough votes in the senate to carry
the measure, despite the Veto"
The vote overriding the veto was re-

fight, which was participated in by all
the house leaders. Speaker Clark, Though
a decision upheld by Republican LEAas,
Mann, held that the members voting
present should not be counted in ascer-
tanning the twothirds required to pass
the bill over the veto and that only the
yeas and nays should be considered. For
mer Speaker Cannon, Representatives
Fitzgerald and Gardner differed from the
speaker, and Gardner first moved an ap-
peal from the decision, but withdrew the
motion later.
Democratic Leader Underwood, who
moved that the bill pass, notwithstand-

among Democrats when he charged that
the president had not considered the in.

PENSION BILL PASSED :
Senate Yields to House in Abolishins
Pension Agencies.

Washington.-The senate Wednes.
day yielded to the demands of the
house for the abSition of the pension
agencies throughout the United States
and passed the $4,000 900 pension ap.
preparation bill with a provision for the
adjustment of the agencies January 81,
1913.
The action of the conferees was the
elimination of a dispute which has held
up payment of over SO, 900, 900 of pen.
sion payments, due civil wal veterans on
August 4 and has thrown the financial
operations of the pension bureau into
chaos. The house will probably accept
the senate provision regarding abolition
of pension agencies. The house pro-
posed that these agencies be abolished
December 81, 1919. This was the only
provision in dispute, and its settlement
was expected to end the deadlock.

CROP
OUTLOOK BETTER
rwO STATES STILL DRY-TW0 TO
THREE WEEKS LATE.
PLANTS SETTING FRUIT WELL
With Favorable Weather Rapid Advance
ment Is Expected-Insect Damage
Negligible.

Memphis.-The cotton crop did well
over nearly the whole of the belt, the
exceptions to improvement being South
ern and Central Texas and parts OF North
Carolina, where insufficient rains fell.
The improvement was based on rains,
which in nearly all sections east of the
Mississippi river were more or less heavy,
being excessive in limited districts. With
the moisture now in the soil the crop is
expected to advance rapidly for at least
aen days, barring excessive precipitation,
which is now perhaps more than other de-
velopment to be feared.
At the present time the plant is setting
fruit quite well and making an all-round
advancement. The greatest recent i'm
provement has occurred in the immediate
Mississippi Valley States, notably Missis-
sippi and in Alabama and Northern and
Eastern Texas.
On an average the crop is estimated to
be two to three weeks late and in many
fields grown bolls are very scarce. But,
on the other hand, there are fields nearly
up to normal that promise almost a full
yield. Crops are irregular in all sections.
Insect damage up to the present has
been almost negligible, but an increase in
boil weevils is noted. in Mississippi, and
the cotton caterpillar or leaf worm has
appeared in Central and Eastern Texas,
and in small numbers in Alabama. Fur
Their rains or long-continued showers
would greatly facilitate the spread of the
pest.
Rain is now needed only in the extreme
northeastern part of the cotton belt and
in the extreme southwest. Elsewhere
warm, dry weather will best promote the
development of the plant.

Misunderstanding out only the
provision which granted free passage
20 American ships engaged in foreign
trade, the conference committee on
the Panama bill canal Wednesday
agreed on a measure which will Tevoll-
tionize the shipping OF the
United States.
The provision giving free passage Tor
American foreign shipping was stricken
out because the committee did not
deem it wise to complicate the more
revolutionary legislation with any
question OF treaty obligations. This
provision was not in the bill as it
passed the house and is not deemed i'm
portant at the time. As the measure
comes from conference it embodies the
following:
Grants exemption from tolls to
American coastwise vessels.
Admits to American registry foreign
built ships when owned by Americans
and engaged in the foreign trade.
Prohibits railroad-owned steamship
lines from operating through the caanl.
Forbids the use of the canal to ships
owned or chartered by persons CT com
panies engaged in Interstate trade in
violation of the Sherman law.
