this afternoon on behalf of Gilbert and
to permit Townley to make separate
argument upon his own behalf
The defense rested suddenly at
noon today.
After the jury was excused until
p. M, the defense asked Judge e. C.
Dean to permit President Townley to
make part Of the address to the jury.
Townley did not take the stand in
his own behalf. Attorneys for the.
state protested vigorously to Judge
Dean against Townley being permitted
to argue the question Of his guilt or
innocence to the jury and took the po-
sition that he could not do so, as he
has not been admitted to the bar.
Counsel for the defendants, arguing
the question of whether Townley
should be permitted to make part Of
the closing address to the jury, init
mated he might not make any argu-
permission to speak.

The state took the ground that the
defense sought to have Townley

that in federal courts and other
courts defendants in criminal cases
have been permitted to address the
jury.

II realize. Of course, the grave in
convenience which may arise from
the -postponement of the legislation at

= ,"I believe that the repeal, of the
act referred to would be Of very great
Inconvenience to the country and I
think that am justified in saying
that it would constitute something
more thanban Inconvenience. It would
involve serious economic loss. The
act of March 10, 1918, to save day.
light resulted not only from careful
study of industrial conditions by
competent men familiar with the
business operations Of the country,
but also from observation of the
happy and beneficial consequences Of
similar legislation in, sother countries,
where legislation OF this character has
!. been for a time in operation and
where it has resulted as the act of
March 10, 1918, has resulted in the
United States in substantial economies.
The act was intended to place the
chief business activities Of the coun-
try as nearly as might be within the
limits of daylight throughout the
year. It resulted in very great
economies of fuel and in substantial
economy of energy because of the
very different effect Of work done in
the daylight and work done by arti-
fetal light. s.&

With This Law In Force.

II Washington, July 12.-Prcsa-
dent Wilson today blocked the re-
peal of the daylight saving law
by vetOing the agricultural ap-
propriati6h bill carrying o rider
for that purpose and at the same
time vetoed the sundry civil APP
propriation bill because 1t would
limit the appropriation of money
for the rehabilitation and training
of disabled soldiers.
% Both important supply bills,
carrying millions of dollars urg-
emily needed in government ac-
tivities and already long delayed
by failure in the last congress
must now be re-passed without
the features to which the presi-
dent objected or re-passed in
present form over his veto by d
tWO-thirds vote in both houses
which today seemed unlikely.
At the same time, however, the
president signed the Indian bill.
After receiving the presidents
veto messages the house ordered
the sundry civil bill sent back to
the appropriations committee and
voted to take up the agricultural
bill Monday.
Republican Leader MondelI
said that either he or Chairman
Hangen of the agricultural COM
mittee would move to pass the
agricultural bill over the presi-
dents veto. House leaders expect
ed a vote would follow after brief
debate.
Doubt was. expressed that op-
sponents of the repeal could mus
Hter, the required tw0-thirds vote.
leaders said no attempt would be
made to override the presidents
veto of the sundry civil bill.
