Senate Will Vote
 Today on Knox
 Peace Resolution

Washington. May 14-Arrange- ments for the senate's vote tomor- row at 4 D. m. on the republican peace resolution were completed to- night with it's adootion and veto later bv President Wilson foregone con- clusion according to leaders of both parties.
 Democratic estimates were that the resolution would have majority of from to ' votes, depending on whether another republican joins Senator McCumber of North Dakota in opposing. At lest four democrats were expected to vote with repub- licans for adoption.
 The presidents veto message is expected to define more clearly the campaign issue on the question of peace and the treaty of Versailles Democratic leaders tonight predict ed that the treaty would not be re- turned to the senate with the veto message, but that the president would outline more extensively his position on the veto message and thus let matters go "to the coun- trv."
 The presidents position, given in his telegram to Oregon democrats was attacked today by Senator Reed democrat, Missouri. who spoke for more than two hours in behalf of the peace resolution.

STATUS OF STEPHENS WELL IS DOUBTFUL,
 REPORTS INDICATE
Believe Sale is Made COntin- gent Upon Further
 Developments
Special to the Graphic.


 Camden, May 15.-Despite the state- ments of Judge J. o. Pugh, attorney for the Standard Oil company, that no deal for the s. s. Hunter we'll at Stephens had been concluded by his company for consideration of $2,- 100000, Camden oil men tonight de- clared that the Standard had pur- chased the we'll and 27,O0O acres of leases from Hunter for that consid- eration.
 Persons who are said to be close to Hunter declared that Hunter on Thursday stated that the sale had been arranged. Judge Pugh today declared that he had purchased some leases for the Standard Oil but that no purchase of the entire Hunter holdings had been made. He admit ted, however, that negotiations be- tween himself and Huntetr were still under way.
 It was stated here tonight on good authority that the purchase has been arranged but that it is contingent up on the development of oil in paying quantities. This seemed to be the popular and most plausible theory of what is transpiring between the Hun ter interests and the oil company's attorney.

It's Fine House. Says Champ Clark
 in Deep Disgust

Washington, May 14.-Speaker Gillette refused to permit Represen- tative Byrnes, democrat, South Caro- lima. to proceed with speech criti- cizing the house war investigation committee after he had delivered a 20-minute attack on the republican party.
 At the end of his allotted time MT. Byrnes asked for five minutes more.
 "The chair declines to recognize the gentleman" said the speaker.
 Former Speaker Clark asked that MT. Byrnes~ by unanimous consent be given ten minutes, but the speak CT said he would not recognize him.
 :It's a fine house," the former speaker remarked.
 MT. Byrnes challenged the investi- gating committee to summon General Pershing and "learn from him that which you do not seem to know that we won the war.
 "You had year in which to in- vestigate," MT. Byrnes declared. "You have discovered no fraud, and you owe it to the taxpayers of America to put an end to your extravagant ex- penditures before you recess or ad- journ. Put up or shut up."

HOOVER DE:CL LARES
 OPEN SHOP NEED QF INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM
Thinks, However, That Or ganiZatiOn of Workers
 is Needed

Washington, May 14.-The "princi- pal of individual freedom requires the open shop," Herbert Hoover de. clared today in testifying before the senate labor committee at hearings on proposed legislation for the set clement of industrial unrest.
 MT. Hoover, who was a member of President Wilson's second industrial conference, said he did not believe the relationship between employees and employers could be settled "by any form of legal repression, wheth- CT it be by injunction, compulsory arbitration or industrial courts."
 Fundamentally" he declared, "all such effort leads inevitably to the use of jails as solution for dis putes as to respective participation, profits, and proceeds swiftly toward compulsory labor, or compulsory wages, or martyrdom."
 Asked about the Kansas industrial law, MT. Hoover said it might de- velop something of benefit to the entire country, but that his own view was that it could not succeed.
 "No one doubts that the modern consideration of the employers over large units of employees gives every justification and right for the or ganization of the employees similarly into units for the eXertion of equali- ty in bargaining powers. Such orA ganization has right to present its own representatives in bargaining. On the other hand, there should be no compulsion to join such an or- ganization. The principal of indi- vidual freedom requires the open shop"
 MT. Hoover heartily approved the plan of the second industrial con- ference for voluntary settlement of labor troubles thru cooperative agreement.
 Mr.. Hoover declared that indus trial conferences with employers on one side an demployes on the other contained "a considerable percent age of extremists and the different views between the two left little hope of arriving at constructive results" {"
 "There are some things which un- ;derlie the whole relationship beA tween capital and labor," he declar- ed q don't believe this relation ship can be settled by injunction as this leads to the jail as the attempted solution of disputes. Collective bar gaining cannot stand if there is to be a constant violation of confi- dence."
 MT. Hoover thought it was almost impossible to legislate as to hours of labor. Wages, he said. should take into account the cost of food, cloth ing, housing, education, savings and the enjoyment of all benefits of the civilization of the time.

SUGAR SK0RTAGET0 LAST THREE YEARS,
 HOOVER BELIEVES
Rationing is Suggested by the Former Food Adminis-
 trator
DISAGREES WITH THE
 ATTORNEY-GENERAL,
Price-FiXing Impossible by Threats of Jail, He Says-U. s. Should Have Purchased Cuban
 Crop

Washington, May 14.-Herbert Hoover, former food administrator and candidate for the republican nom- nation for president, gave his views to congress today on the sugar situ- a tion.
 Appearing before a house commit tee Investigating the sugar situation, MT. Hoover declared that the world shortage of the product was likely to continue two or three years. The pressing need was rationing, he said, with immediate government action to control the supply through conner cial, not legalistic methods. Although the hearing related primarily to the action of Gttorney General Palmer in Louisiana crop, it reached out into q could give only an offhand opinioin as to that proceeding.
 MT. Hoover said. however, that the government should have bought the Louisiana crop lsat year, pocketing the loss, or else selling to the luxury trade at an advance.
 Answering a multitude of questions bearing on the Louisiana sugar crop and price situation, MT. Hoover ex- plained that he had no knowledge of his own on the subject but that it in- fluenced Cuban producers to stimu- late prices, and that except for it., the rise in prices would have been less rapid.
 Mir Hoover frankly disagreed with the policy adopted by the attorney general. saving that if he had been in the latter's place he Certainly would not have attempted such an operation. Prices never could be fixed by threats of jail, he said, adding that the prop CT course was through commercial process.
 In making reply to members who wanted to know what should have been done to keep the present high sugar cost off the people, MT. Hoover reiterated that the government should have bought the Cuban cron as we'll as the Louisiana crop and that even now there was chance to help by limiting the supply to non- essential industries. In this connec- tion he told the committee that pro- hib ton had stimulated the use of sugar in the manufacture of sweet drinks, and thus had added to the drain on stocks needed for home con- sumption.

VETO OF APPROPRIATIONS
 BILL IS SUSTAINED
Republican Majority Fails to Obtain Necessary Two
 Thirds
SENATE ASKED TO
 ELIMINATE SECTION
Senator Shoot, Author of Measure, Tells Senate Wilson Was Mis- informed as to Effect of
 Bill

Washington, May 14-President Wilson's veto of the executive legis- lative appropriation bill as contain ing an infringement on executive au- thority was sustained in the house today against the effort of the re- publican majority to override it.
 Tho aided by handful of demo- crats, the republicans failed by 2s votes, to obtain the necessary two thirds majority to repass the bill over the Presidents disapproval The measure then went back to the appropriations committee for elim- ination of the section objected to and will be returned to the house Monday for passage in it's modified form.
 The republicans rolled up ITO votes to overcome the veto, but the demo- crats cast 127 votes to sustain the president The vote carries with it denial of opportunity for the senate to attempt offsetting the veto for the redrafted measure will leave the house without the provision re- lating to powers of the joint commit, tee on printing at which the veto was aimed
 While the house was considering the question Senator Shoot of Utah author of the provision and chair man of the joint committee told the senate that the president had been misinformed as to the effect of the provision, which would have given the committee control of all govern ment puh1icat tions,
 Roger w. Poison and others of the committee on public information anc others attacking the joint committee were accused by MT. Shoot of having misled the president.
 The senator added that the presi dent had signed bill last year givine the joint committee greater power than was proposed by the vetoed pro vision.
 Republicans in the house debate also voiced similar complaints but the democrats replied that congress had sought to censor executive depart ments of the government and that il had failed to enact laws that would provide for the continuance of need, fhl information.
 Representative Sisson, Mississippi was the only democrat to urge that the veto be voted down.
