 tiOn Bill

Washington, Aug. 15.-The House today failed to pass the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill over the veto of President Taft by vote of 153 to 107.

Thir- teen Progressive Republicans voted on the Democratic side.
 Before the veto message was re- celVed, the House voted to expunge rom the record two speeches made

amonss laymen and some judges.
 ssThe Rhea case is a glaring exam ple, pronounced incident, striking proof of the error of too universal an application of this modern doe Urine. The truth is that while the verdict in the Rhea case is supported by the testimony of the four negroes, Major Davis, Joe Berry, and Robert Johnson, who admit they were in the pursuing party and Grant Sanders, the negro for whose release the pur- suit was undertaken, and who was a member of the same clan of Lennox place negroes as Davis, Berry and Johnson, it is disputed and shown to be false and unjust by the testimony of many others.
 It is shown to be an unjust verdict by the testimony of Sam Kelly, who lived at the same house with Major Davis, who says he saw the party as It left the house, but does not swear that Rhea was with them.
 By Russell Lindsey, who saw the five negroes, Davis, Berry, Johnson, Max Tucker and Jim Hubbard, take the mules which they rode from the lot ill Rhea's absence, and armed, ride off in pursuit of their comrade and ais captor, without Rhea.
 
 By Charlie Fisher, who saw the party after they had left Lindsey and the stable lot, and rode past Fishers house, and he says Rhea was not with them.
 By Tom Wright and Grant Charles, two negroes not members of the Len noX plantation clan, with no interest in the trial, who saw this same party of five negroes on four mules further on i'll the field after they had passed Fishers house; who old who they were, how they were riding, and who said that while one of their animals was out of the road there were but three in the road and that all were mules; that Maj. Davis made inuuiries as to the whereabouts of the party they were pursuing, struck matches and looked for footprints in the road; that Rhea wassnot present, nor was there any horse anywhere in sight.
 By Jim Holmes and Brown, two negroes from a different vicinity than the Lennox place, who, passing along the road, saw the party just as it approached the scene which after wards developed to be the scene of the shooting, and who swears that the party consisted of Davis, Berry, John- sen, Tucker and Hubbard, five negroes and no one else there or near by. de- scriblng how they were armed, tell l ing of the incident of the shooting as they heard it at a distance of com | paratively a few yards from the scene of the tragedy; that they heard Win chester, pistol and shots of vol ume and considerable number, while l the murderers limit the shooting to but four shots, two from pistols and two from shot guns.
 The testimony of Holmes and Brown IS further corroborated ly that of Luvonia White, who was passing It the time and saw the assassins, md testifies that there was no white nan with them.
 By Max Tucker, who admits he vas with the party, but that Rhea vas not with them, and who has never 'een called to testify by the state.
 As shown by the affidayits of Mat ie Johnson and Nettie Riley, Minnie Ichnson had before sworn that Rhea vent with the crowd, but this was in
