 | Washington, August 20.-President Tafts second veto of the legislative. exeea- tive and judicial appropriation bill, which will be sent in message to Congress tomorrow. will find the House prepared to pass the bill again over his veto, according to House leaders. Chairman i Fitzgerald of the appropriations commit tee stated today that the House undoubl= edly would repass the measure As the l bill went to the President 1t provided flor abolshing the commerce court 1 procedure to which the President asaia | refuses to agree The other provisions inserted by the House, cutting orr appro- prlations for the bureau of manufactures and commercial agents were objected b ! by the Senate and finally taken out or the bill.
 The Senates prospective action on the second veto of the bill was matter of doubt tonight. The Senate appro- prlations committee recommended that the bill be passed Monday exactly as the President desired it, but the Senats overturned it's committee and put in the commerce court abolishment by vote of B 10 g. This was short of the two thirds majority that would be necessary to pass a vetoed bill, and it is believed the measure cannot be repassed in the Senate
 Situation Is Tense | The two houses will confront the neees- sity in that case, of adjusting between themselves the form of the bill as 1t will be sent to the President for the third time The delay over this bill makes the adjournment situation tense in both | Houses, as leaders on each side are eager to get away by Satu.cay night In the House as a climax to a day Of exhibi- tions of temper a fight developed over the question of adjournment of the ses- sion with result that q tedious war started in order to bring truant membSs1 into the chamber Minority Leader Mann started lhe pyro- technics by inquiring of Chairman Fitz- gerald of the appropriations committee if the end was not in sight. Tt is merely question of getting bil's out of conference" said MT Fitzgerald When they reach the irredueiable min mum, we will ge away" When will that be?' persisted MT. Mann
 Tt would appear that the irreduclable minimum certainly must be in sight.
 MT Fitzgerald declined 10 make guess at the date and Majority Leader tnder- wood interrupted to say that the mat ter lay not so much with the House as with republican President who was | vetoing bills.
 "It appears to me- said NIT. Mann, that the majority does not care when this Congress adJourns. In that case II is inconsequential whether We getaway ths week or next I therefore raise the l, point of no quorum.
 Instead of moving an adjournment, Mr. Underwood accepted the challenge and asked for a call of the House For more than an hour members were hauled Into 1 the chamber to answer to their names. | When 1t finally became apparent that quorum could not be obtained. Mir Tn- derwood yielded and the House wearily i adjourned
