WASHINGTON, Aug. 7,--Limited terms
for civil service employees, the abolition
OF the commerce court and the retention
OF its five judges as extra circuit judges
will be submitted to President Taft as
provisions for the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill.
All these proposals. already approved
by the house, were adopted by the senate
today by vote of 30 to 10 against the
opposition Of Senators Cummins, Craw-
ford, Burton, Lodge and several others.
Some of President Taft's friends say he
will veto the bill. although in doing so
he will ho,d up his own salary, that OF
every member of congress and every
United States judge. Such action on the
presidents part would also further delay
the annual appropriation, overdue since
July l. The president Is said to oppose
the abandonment of life tenure for civil
service employees and also the abolition
of the commerce court.
The bill carries an appropriation OF

PRIMARIES HELD IN MISSOURI
Republicans Name Mckinley ana
Democrats Cowherd.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. with an in
dicated lead of 1900 to 1900 in St. Louis.
Il, 900 In Jackson county and 1000 In
Buchanan county William s. Cowherd
of Kansas City apparently won the demo-
cratic nomination for governor over
Elliott w. Major in yesterdays primaries
by plurality estimated at 10000.
Although Major carried fifty of the
seventy-five counties heard from this
morning, leading Cowherd by nearly 1900
in the country, 1t is not thought the re-
turns from the missing districts will give
him enough to overcome Cowherd's lead
in the sections comprising the three
largest cities In the state. Three hundred
and fifty of four hundred and three
precincts in st. Louis give Cowherd a
lead Of 1900
John C. Mckinley. former lieutenant
governor, was undoubtedly nominated for
governor on the republican ticket His
vote in the country districts and in the
cities was uniformly heavy. He led Leon
Quick and A. Pat Murphy by majorities
that cannot be overcome.
The vote of both parties was light,
being especially noticeable in the repub-
lican party, where the third party move
ment made itself keenly felt
Edmund P. Deal led the country In
the race for the nomination for state
treasurer on the democratic ticket, his
opponent, John II. O'Meara carrying St.
Louis. Indications are that Deal will
win.
William r. Painter had a safe lead In
the contest for lieutenant governor. John
7. Barker and Frank w. McAllister were
running q close race for the nomination
for attorney general
Patrick F. Gill of ST Louis, whose con-
test for the congressional seat of Theron
E. Catlin, republican, is in the hands
of the house Of the house of representa-
tives, appears to have been defeated for
the democratic nomination In the Elev-

lican ticket in the Twelfth district, easilv
