ing that they could not make II

vices received here during the last

nature as TO encourage the belief
that the president would not sign

On him with that end in view.
The Times was the hrst to carry
the news TO Mr. Livingstone. Later
he received a wire confirming the
report The United Press, as usual.
was first with the story.
Il had been under the Impression
that the president would refuse TO
sign The bin. not because Of any de-
merit in the bill itself but because
II interfered with some OF our FOR
eign treaties" said SIR Livingstone.
II had been led 10 expect that the
president would withhold his sigma
ture In desire TO keep clear OF
any possible complications that
might arise as a result OF the bill
becoming a law
"As 20 the effect OF the bill on
the lake traffic, that IS something
that cannot be definitely predicted
at this time. II Il had been passed
in It's original form. as introduced
by Senator Ia Toilette. Il would I'M
questionably have put some OF the
lake passenger lines out OF business.
However. the bill has been radically
modified. especially as far as IL ap-
plies TO the lakes. AS a general
proposition II Is away head OF the
original measure"
The Law does not take effect for
