TAFT'S VETO AWAITING
ALL TARIFF MEASURES
President Sure to Turn Down
Bills Not Scientifically
Framed.

Senators and representatives who have
talked with the President about the tar
iff bills that are in process of incubation
in Congress say they are convinced that
the President will veto each bill. basing
his vetoes upon the same ground-that
the bills do not represent the scientific
facts as gathered by the tariff board and
were not framed in sympathy with those
facts.
1t is said that it will be impossible for
the President to sign any particular bill
simply because it comes near putting the
duties at the figures that would agree
with tariff board data. To sign such a
measure. in the face of his contentious
that the tariff board is the proper meth
cd Of handling the tariff would place the
President in an unfavorable position.
Knowing that it is indisputable that the
trainers of each bill. in Senate and House.
disregarded the data of the tariff board
entirely. the only course of the Presi-
dent, as he sees it. is to yeto- the bills,
and this he will do, as frequently indi-
Gated. As to some of the appropriation
bills there is doubt of what the Pres
dent will do. but the general belief is
that the President wili1not veto any of

masterpiece of Leonardo Da Ninci, which
disappeared mysteriously from the mu-
scum last August. These hopes had been
raised Thursday by the appearance of an

Paris with a picture which he declared
he had been charged by person in Lon
don to restore to the Louvre by means of
the British ambassador. The ambassador
retained the picture and communicated
with the French minister of the interior.

AS a result NJ. Pujalet said today:
1T is not the Mona Lisa. although it
certainly is an admirable copy"
The picture was painted on an old
wooden panel and to all outward appear
ance resembled the Da Vinci masterpiece.
The man who delivered it at the en-
bassy was arrested.
