Presidents Veto of Agricultural Bill Containing Repeal,
 Will Stand
OPPONENTS OF LAW LACK EIGHT VOTES
Vote of 247 Insufficient to Pass Measure Over Presidential Veto, and Defeat
 Accepted.

Washington, July 14.-The daylight saving plan, under which the clocks of the country are turned forward an hour in March and moved back in October will be continued indefinitely.
 This was assured today when, fol- lowing President Wilson's veto of the s33,000,000 agricultural appropria- tion bill, because of it's rider repeal ing the daylight saving act, the house refused, vote of PAT to 135 to pass the measure of the presidents veto. Strength mustered by the repeal ad- vocates was eight votes less than the necessary two-thirds of the members present. Party lines were disregar- ded in the voting, members from the agricultural districts-the source of most of the opposition-favoring pas sage of the bill. Representatives from the urban districts opposed it. House advogates of the repeal said tonight after the agricultural bill had been sent ack to committee for elimi- nation of repeal provision that no further effort would be made at this congress to wipe out the daylight saving act.
 Senate leaders also indicated that no action would be originated in that body to repeal the act, and failure of the house today to pass the appro- priation measure over the presidential veto will prevent any action by the senate on the repeal rider.

Washington, July 14.-Licenses to permit trading with the central Euro pean countries will be issued imme- diately under regulation by the war trade board approved today by Acting Secretary of State Polk.

 Trading with Germany is expected to begin at once, three ships for Ger many having been loaded in America ports and awaiting the issuance of the blanket license order. The ship ping board has announced that it stood ready to establish steamship lines between American Atlantic and gulf ports and Hamburg and Bremen as soon as cargoes are at the docks.

 DEATH OF ROSS0 Local Fruit Dealer Dies From Injuries Sustained in Auto
 Mishap BABE HURLED INTO
 FIELD FOUND ASLEEP Infant Was Catapulted from Moth CTS Arms When Big Truck,
 Carrying Picnickers,
 Overturned.

A two-ton truck, belonging to Joe Failla, and driven by Charles Failla, which overturned on the Tamo pike near the Creed Taylor place Sunday night, caused the death yesterday morning of Charles Rosso, proprietor of the California Fruit company at Fourth and State streets. Rosso was penned underneath the truck when it overturned. and it crushed his feet, which yesterday resulted in his death.
 Illegal Light Blinds Driver.
 The accident ocurred about 10 o'clock Sunday night. Rosso, with a party of friends, was returning from Atkins Lake, where they had spent the day. The accounts of just how the truck overturned vary. Some claim that an approaching automobile blinded the driver causing him to run off the road. Others state that the truck had turned off to the side of the road to allow the car to pass, and that the ground of the road under the truck gave way, the truck top bling down into the ditch. Another version is that an approaching auto mobile struck the rear end of the car as it passed knocking it into the ditch.
 Soon after the truck had over- turned, other motorists came to the rescue, and an attempt mad to ex- tricate Rosso. Meanwhile. two ambulances of the H. l. Holderness company were speeding to the scene, having been informed that several persons had been killed, and others were seriously injured.
 Rosso was taken to a local hospital, and some hopes were held out Sunday night for his recovero. None of the other members of the party was seriously injured. although most all of them suffered bruises or cut of some kind.
 Baby Sleep in Cotton Rows.
 The party consisted of number of women and children. One little baby was thrown from it's mothers. arms over a barhed wire fence and into a cotton field. The frantic parents searched everywhere about the scene of the accident, but were unable to locate the haby until someone hap nened into the field. There it was found between two cotton rows, sleep ing peacefully.
 The driver of the automobile who is said to have occasioned the over turning of the truck. is unknown. The truck overturned as the two machines passed, the driver continued on, nor ventured back to equire as to the safety of the members of the i'll fated picnic party.
 The funeral of Charles Rosso will be held this morning at 10 o'clock from St. Josenh's Catholic church. Pallbearers will be: M Angelo Pete Foti. Frank Franey. F. l.. Gordy Sam Failla, and Frank Borenoco.
 Rosso is survived by his widow. and one sister. Mrs. L. Foti, and broth CT, Rocco Rosso.
