SOLONS EXPECTED
TO ACCEPT S24O
WHEAT VETO TODAY

President Wilson's veto OF the agri-
cultural appropriation bill because Of
the provision for $40 wheat IL ex-
pected to be accepted today by both
houses
The House will aecede quickly, but
the Senate may insist on debating the
question. Senators have warned that
the veto means considerable redue-
ton in the acreage to be sown in win
ter wheat, blowing for which has al
ready begun in some States.
In making his veto, President VIII
son pointed out that $40 wheat
would represent an increase OF about
1887, 900 900 above the present price
The method OF fixing an arbitrary
price was deemed by him as unwise
and inexpedient, and he contended that
the present scheme of making the
price elastic by administrative fixa-
ton thereof Is the best plan to follow.

Proprietor of Army and Navy

WITH JAIL BEFORE
Local Legal Lights Claim Law
too Full of Holes to !
Stand the 'Gaff.' |,

Defying the order OF County
Solicitor Mackey, who is PLAN
ming to enforce the blue laws In
Pensacola again Sunday, w. Chip
ley Jones, secretary OF the Army
and Navy Club, stated last night
that he would run the service
mems stores in the clubhouse
tomorrow as usual.
Mr.. Jones was threatened with
arrest by Mr.. Mackey when he re-
fused to close up last Sunday, Ibut
he stated that he would consult
other legal advice, rather than to
take the opinion OF the solicitor as
to matters of law.
The decision for which Mr.. Jones
was waiting yesterday had not been
handed down last night, but other
lawyers had expressed themselves
strongly as to the constitutionality OF
the Sunday law. 1t has been declared
too full of holes" to stand the pres
sure of a test. Furthermore, it is sta
eCo tildI tiIc law, dS lJ 1S IoIHleu,
prohibits the sale of anything, ex-
cept the necessities and comforts" OF
life and service men are quick to
claim their favorite ismokes or par
ticular brand OF chocolates as beiong-
ing to this class.
r. Jones is determined that lmen or
the Army and Navy shall have the
right to purchase these comforts AMI
necessities" regardless OF the day. So
licitor ;Mackey is equally determined
that the Army and Navy club store
shall be closed tomorrow. Strong
sentiment has been aroused and a
lively time expected when the !place
is opened for bushes tomorrow.
1t has been stated that Mr.. Jones
has the solid backing Of the War
Camp Community Service, and that
they will see the ca.t, through to the
finish The Army and Navy Club js
operated without profit, and 1t is arg
ued that this in itself should exempt
it from the drastic enforcement Of tho
old law.
