WEBB BILL BECOMES LAW
Executive, Who Had Bill Ten Days,
contended II Permitted the States
70 Interfere With Commerce.

Washington, March BY a vote of
244 to So, the house Saturday re-
passed over President Taft's veto the
Webb bill. prohibiting shipments of

Only one other time in the last Is
years has congress overridden a presi-
dents veto. That was when the Rainey
river dam bill was passed over Presi-
dent Rooseyelt's disapproval.
The move to override the veto was
brought up in the house Immediately
following the reading of the message.
Chairman Clayton of the judiciary
committee moved to reconsider the
Webb bill and pass 1t over the presi-
dents veto and the general debate fol-
lowed
The Webb bill passed both houses
of congress and went to the president
ten days ago. The veto message
reached the senate about 3 o'clock
Friday afternoon, accompanied by an
opinion from Attorney-G General Wick
ersham. Basing his decision on the
attorney-general's findings, the presi-
dent expressed the belief that the
measure was clearly unconstitutional
because It gave the states the right to
interfere with interstate commerce.
The senate took up the bill at once
The opinion Of Acknowledgement
WickersRam was not read. and SEN
ator Kern asked that a final vote on
the overriding of the veto be delayed
until Saturday, so senators might have
the opportunity to examine the attor-
ney-general's arguments. motion

cue of Titanic Survivors.

II. Rostron was signally honored here
today when President Taft pinned
upon his breast the gold medal award
ed him by congress for his rescue of
the survivors of the Titanic disaster.

ton of heroic service the nation can
bestow and has been awarded by con-

interesting ceremony was witnessed
by both houses Of congress, the full
diplomatic corps, the heads OF the
army and navy and many leaders of
Washington society.
At the time the Titanic was sending
out her distress calls there were 9TH
or vessels nearer the doomed ship
than the Carpathia, which Captain
Rostron commanded, but he drove his
vessel to the scene OF the catastrophe
with top speed through fields Of ice
and was the first to arrive. The
awarding of tho congressional medal
is only one of the great honors that
have been shown the intrepid seaman.
His own country has given him a
medal and a purse raised by private

No Compensation Bill.

Jefferson City, March 1.-Unless
some Of the labor organizations urge
the legislature to pass the working
mems compensation act there will be
no legislation on that subject passed
this year.
The Missouri Federation of Labor
and the Central Trades and Labor I'M
ion of st. Louis have opposed the
measure on two grounds as 1t stands
now. They urge that the scale OF
compensation is too low, that the Sc
lection of compensation or suit for
personal injury should be after the
injury, and that casual employment
accidents should be incorporated in
the bill.
r. T. Wood of Springfield, president
of the State Federation of Labor, is
in conference with members. with a
view to agreeing upon some amend
mants. The amendments have not
even been agreed TO and Wood says
he does not know what the confer
ence will do.

$50, o.COo COMBINATION CHARGED

GAL CONTRACTS.
MONOPOLY is ALLEGED
Charging Unfair Competitive
Methods in Violation OF
Sherman Law.

New York, March 3.-Dissolution of
the Corn Products Refining Co., an
alleged starch. glucose and syrup
trust is sought by the Federal gov
eminent in a civil antitrust suit filed
here Saturday charging the 100000 900
combination with entering conspira.
cies and contracts to destroy compe-
tition in violation of the Sherman law.
The refining company is alleged to
have kept the prices Of corn products
a. unreasonably lower figures to har-
ass and discomSag: Independent manu-
facturers. Controlling 66 per cent of
the entire American production Of the
starch and glucose, and so per cent
of the interstate trade in mixed syrups
the alleged trust is charged with fix
ing resale prices with manufacturing
cheap grade candy at unreasonably
low prices in retaliation against con-
PETITIONERS who buy starch and glucose
from Independents; with practically
suppressing the private brands OF
mixed syrups of grocers by quoting
low prices on its own syrups, and
with unlawful threats and contracts
to destroy competition.
Aside from dissolution, the govern.
ment asks for an injunction prohibit
ing the alleged restraint of trade. The
suit recalls the long drawn out fight
between the department of agriculture
and the Corn Produce Refining Co
over the branding of its own syrup.

jor signed the Kinney bill authorizing
boards of education to permit chill
dren years old to attend school. The
same bill also allows the boards to re-
move the maximum age of school at

Gators of the state, urged passage Of

Mexico City, March 3.-With the

Public opinion in the capital rapid.
ly is turning TO Porfrio Diaz. The
restoration by order of the admins
tration of his pictures TO the schools,
libraries and public buildings has been
greeted with great enthusiasm.
Tho return of the aged former pres.
ident is eagerly awaited by thousands,
and there are some who confidently
predict that Porfrio Diaz again will
be president OF Mexico The more
conservative. though, think that Gen.
Felix Diaz will be president, and that
his uncle, ii he returns, will act only
as his nephew's adviser and refuse all
official recognition.
Federal troops are operating in all
of the disaffected states, and it is said
that virtually all of them with the ex-
ception of Sonora have cen pacified.
The zapatistas have not surrendered,
but it was said that negotiations with
them were progressing satisfactorily
