Over Presidents Veto.
REPUBLICANS DESERT PARTY

ocrats in Passing Measure, the
Vote Being ia to 80.

Washington, Aug. 14.-With the as
sistance Of six Republicans from Min
resota and fifteen other Republicans
the Democrats Of the house passed
the Underwood-La Toilette wool tariff
revision bill over President Tafts
veto. The vote was ia to so.
The Minnesotans who voted to yer.
ride the executive veto of the wool
bill were: Stevens, Stevenson, Davis,
Miller, Anderson and L~indbergh. Rep
resentatives Volstead and Nye, the
other Minnesota Republicans, did not
vote. They are at home in the state.
Representative Hammond, the only
Democrat from Minnesota, voted with
his p ty.
Those Republicans, In addition to
the Minnesotans, who voted with the
Democrats to rebuke the president

and Rees of Kansas, Noyes and Sloan
of Nebraska. Cooper and Morse of
Wisconsin, La Toilette and Warbur-
ton Of Washington, Kent Of California

scented with a motion to override the
veto Of President Taft on the wool

Doubt Is expressed that the senate
will oncur In the action of the house.

veto. They are Senators Clapp Of
Minnesota, La Toilette OF Wisconsin,
Crawford Of South Dakota. Gronna OF
North Dakota, Borah OF Idaho and

BARROW HELD TO

Noted Attorney Is Acquitted Of
Bribery Charge.

Remarkable Scene Follows Re

Los Angeles, Aug. 1S.-Clarence s..
barrow, the noted Chicago lawyer, was
found not guilty on the charge of brib-
ing a juror in the Mcnamara case. The
Jury was Out just thirty-four minutes.
Only one ballot was taken.
Although warned against any dem.
o~nstratfon by the bailiffs there was a
SPONTANEOUS outburst of applause
when Foreman M. r. Williams, In re-
Spouse to the courts query, stated that
the jury had found a verdict of not
guilty.
There was a rush to the side of Oar
row which was stopped by the bailiffs,
but Is was renewed a few moments
later after Judge Hutton thanked and
discharged the jury.
Then ensued a remarkable scene.
barrow approached the jurors still IN
the box to thank them and two Of
them, Jurors Golding and Dunbar,
threw their arms about him and patted
his back. Other jurors reached for
ward and clasped hands with the at
torney.
The scene gradually solved itself in

Jurors and friends OF the erstwhile de-
PENDANT crowded up to congratulate
and shake hands with the jurors while

raphers doomed in different parts OF

First Count Stricken.
Judge Hutton eliminated the first
count In the indictment. that Darrow
had bribed George n. Lockwood, a
regularly drawn juror in the case OF J.
B. MCNAMARA. The evidence, Judge
Hutton instructed, did not justify a
verdict Of guilty on the first count.
The second count charged barrow
with attempting corruptly to influence
q man about to be drawn as a juror.
The court also instructed that a YER
dict of guilty could not be found on

EIGHTEEN DEMOCRATS BOLT
House Falls to Pass Salary Bill Over
Presidents Veto.

Washington, Aug. 16.-House Demo
cratic leaders failed In their third sue
cessive effort to override the presi-
dent when they sought to pass the
legislative, executive and judicial bill
over Mr.. Taft's veto. The vote-153
to 107-was twenty short Of the re-
quisite two-thirds of those voting.
AS a result the bill will be taken in
hand, shorn of one provision to which
the president objected-fixing a seven
year tenure for government employees
under the civil service-and send it on
its way again.
The other feature to which the pres
hent o~bjected-the abolition of the
commerce court-will be left in the
measure, but the temper OF the SEN
ate on this program is yet to be as

body, and it was then put in great
