WOOL BILL VETO
IS TURNED DOWN
House Passed Measure by Narrow
Margin Of Five Votes.
RULING OF SPEAKER DISPUTED
Clark Stood Pat and Refused to Re.
consider Decis;on-senate Action
UnlikeIy-sugar Con-
ferrees Disagree.

Washington, Aug. 14.-By the mar
row margin of five votes, the house
passed the wool tariff revision bill
over President Taft's veto. The
vote, ia to 80, was made possible by
the detection of 81 Republicans, who
voted with the Democrats.
The announcement of Democratic
success created wild scene in the
house, and amid great confusion the
Republican leaders protested that
Speaker Clark count as voting ten
members who answered present
to their names, a ruling which would
have defeated the Democratic pro.
gram by overcoming the five-vote
margin, making impossible the record.
ing of the necessary two-thirds vote
of the house. This the speaker de-
clined to do.
Marks End of Sugar Bill.
Less than an hour after the wool
bill had been repassed in the house,
the conferrees on the sugar tariff
bill met and disagreed.
This action is expected to mark
the end of sugar tariff consideration
in the present session, and the excise
tax bill, which was framed to make
up revenues that would have been
lost by th~ reduction of the sugar
tariff, also probably will remain in
conference when congress adjourns.
While Democratic and Progressive
leaders of the senate do not believe
body over the presidents veto, they
will continue the demand for action
on the cotton tariff measure.
TumuIt Follows Passage.
Not in the memory of the oldest
members of the house has tariff
measure ever been passed over the
presidents veto by the lower branch
of congress.
When Speaker Clark announced the
vote and declared the bill again had
been passed. 1.-The presidents veto to
the contrary Notwithstanding" there
was a wild outburst of applause from
the Democratic side. The tumult was
increased by the demands of half
dozen Republicans that the ruling was
unconstitutional
When semblance of order was re-
stored, Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts insisted that the con.
stitution provided that a two-thirds
vote of the house was necessary. The
speaker, when the debate broke out
with renewed vigor, quickly put
damper on it.
"You may talk all you want" he
said, "but the chair has no intention
now or later of changing its ruling"

TO INVESTIGATE
CLEARING HOUSES
Wickersham Questions Legality o.
Certain Arbitrary Charges.
WOULD AFFECT ENTIRE COUNTRY
Rule by Which New York Banks Col.
Iect Millions Annually May Have
to be Changed to Comply
With Antitrust Laws.

Washington, Aug. IA collateral
phase of the so-called money trust
is being investigated by Attorney
General Wickersham.
The inquiry, which may affect
clearing house associations through
out the country, revolves about the
rule of the New York Clearing House
association requiring it's members to
charge a specified sum for the col.
lection of out-of-town checks drawn
on certain parts of the country, and
at the same time giving them discre.
ton whether to make charges for
similar collections in other localities.
Which Law is Violated?
A careful and thorough study OF
the workings of this rule is being
made by the attorney general, it is
said, to determine whether the Sher
man antitrust law or the national
bank act is being violated. If action
is taken it will make precedent for
all clearing house associations hav,
ing similar rules.
According to the rule of the New
York Clearing House association, the
banks composing it's membership are
compelled to charge one-tenth of l
per cent for the collection of checks
payable in most of the states in the
East and Central West, while the
charge for the far South and far
West is one-quarter of l per cent. On
the other hand, the banks are given
discretion to charge or not to charge
collection commissions on other local.
tiles.
Two Questions Involved.
There are two questions involved
in the inquiry-the right of the banks
by concerted action through the clear
ing house association to agree on
fixed charges and their right to
charge in some localities and not in
others. The officials of the depart.
ment of justice have recently been in
communication with managers Of the
clearing house association to ascer-
tain the facts.
The association, it is understood,
has pointed out that in addition to
the cost of collection the charge is |
fair and necessary, because custo-
mer is permitted to draw on an out |
Of town check at once, the bank re-
ceiving no interest during the period
of collection.
These collections by New York
banks have been variously estimated
from 100000 to $17,000.000 yearly.

ONLY THREE CONTESTS
st. Louis and Chicago Teams to Play
Post Season Games.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-President Ban
Johnson, of the American League, re-
turned to Chicago last night from Gin
cinnati with the announcement that
there would be only three post-season
series between league teams.
The one of greatest interest probably
will be the series between the Boston
Americans and the New York Ma
tionals for the worlds championship.
The other series will be between the
two st. Louis League teams and the
two Chicago teams. In making the an
nouncement President Johnson made
the provision that these games would
take place in the event that the Cubs
fail to win the National pennant.
Johnson said it was evident that
Pittsburg did not want to meet either
the Philadelphia or Washington Amer
leans and there was no prospect of
a meeting between the Cincinnati and
Cleveland teams for the Ohio cham

In Two Years Santa Fe Cuts
Fire Loss to $4,000.
In 1910 Road Paid Claims
Amounting to $1OO,6O5.
"SAFETY HABIT" DID IT
Number of Fires Cut From
1,5O9 to 1876 in PA Months.
Considerable Credit Due J. ID.
Nj. Hamilton, Attorney.

Through the efforts of the operat-
ing and mechanical departments i'll
Topeka and the insistent campaign OF
the claims attorney, J. d. Nj. Hamil-
ton, the Santa Fe railway has in two
years saved nearly 500, 900 in fire loss
over the system. In 1910 the Santa
Fe had 1909 fire claims to settle. In
1912, fiscal year, only 135 fire losses
were paid. In 1910 the claims
amounted to $100,605. In 1912 the
diminutive sum of $4,000 was paid
out for fires resulting from operation.
This remarkable showing just made
public will take railroad men all over
the country off their feet. For sys-
tenn like the Santa Fe operating r.
900 miles of track paying only a fire
loss claim of $4,000, it Aill appear I'M
possible to the average claim agent
and operating man. The Santa Fe
gives all credit to the safety habit"
the recent sentiment that has made
employees more careful in their daily
tasks.

1910 sliced huge chunks from the
earnings in the west that year-and

1T was dry summer, We'll admit"
they conferred. But we have had
lots of dry summers. Why is it that
our engines have caused 1909 fires
on the right of way and along the
tracks? Let's find OUT
They placed strict inspection on the
engines. Orders were given that the
ash pans should not leak. No Iocomo-
tive should go from the terminal
with holes in the pans. Then it was
limited that engineers should be more
careful and not throw fire brand
sparks. The fire guards were watch
ed closely. The mechanical and OPP
Grating department heads were placed
together in the campaign.
The next years report repaid them
for their efforts. In 1911 there were
only STA fires with claims amounting
to $4,000.
Now comes the report for 1912
showing only 135 fires and an expen-
diture of only $4,000.
No collection of arguments will
make the Santa F'e believe that the
safety habit is not profitable

The court has instituted a bad
precedent" recently declared Mr..
Norris. IF it should be allowed to
go unchallenged it might bring about
an era of star chamber sittings on
the very case that the public is most
interested in.
To me it is quite inexplicable that
any court, just at a time like the
present, with so much of criticism
being directed against the judiciary,
should make an order so certain to
evoke bitter condemnation
Mr.. Norris limited that the big bust
ness interests in New England which
it is charged have been breaking the
law, secured the appointment of the
very judges who will have charge of
suits against these interests should
proceedings against them be started
in the federal courts
