Woodrow Wilson To
 Practice Law With
 Bainbridge Colby
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, March 3.-With an announcement that he will resume the practice of law President Wilson today gave the first indication of what he intends to do after leaving the White House.
 Wholly unknown. even to his closest friends, it was officially announced that MT. Wilson would enter a part nership with Bainbridge Colby of New York, retiring secretary of state, and that the firm would establish offices in New York and Washington.
 No information of the character of practice Wilson and Colby will under take was made available and all ques- tions were met with the reply that the announcement contained all there was to be said. Secretary Colby refused to discuss the subject.
 The general assumption in Washing ton is that MT. Wilson and MT. Colby will engage largely in the practice of international law. Some of the prest- dents friends think that through his activities in law practice he may find some way to continue his work TOT world peace.
 MT Wilson's start in life was in law Graduated from the University of Nir- ginia in 1881. he opened a small office and practiced in Atlanta for wto years and then in 1883 practiced in Balti- more while doing post graduate work at Johns Hopkins university. Thai year his writings first attracted atten- ton and he wrote his volume on con- gTessional governmnt. He abandones the law soon after and did collegiate work until he became governor of New Jersey.
 With the announcement that Mir Wilson would take up law and apply to the supreme court for admission tt practice, all official Washington asked 'Is he physically able-to do it?' Rear Admiral Grayson, MT. Wilson physician. said his patient could an' that he would be able to appear in thu supreme court occasionally" Thos' who know his condition think his prin l cipal activities will be as a counsellor
 Woodrow Wilson spent his last eve l ming in the White House studying bill ] and resolutions which had reached hin from the capitol during the day. H l retired later than usual.
 Many messages were received cen graduating him on his administration of the nations affairs and carryini good wishes in his return to privat life The names of those sending mes i'sages were not made public.
 The president late today took hi customary automobile ride. He wa not accompanied by Mrs. Wilson as sh remained behind to superintend tn winding up of household affairs.

Congress Struggles With Appropriation Bill In Final Hours
[Republican A. p. Leased Wire]


 WASHINGTON. March 3.-Congress tonight neared its end in the usual desperate attempts to pass eleventh hour measures. Night sessions were held and many bills received their death blows while numerous others es- capped. The $395, 100000 navy bill ap- peared to be the only regular supply bill which would fail. Its loss was conceded tonight on all sides
 Steps which, it was believed, would be successful, were taken to enact the $40O,OO0-000 sundry civil bill. Arrange ments had been made for another vote in the house on the item in dispute, that of s1o.000,000 for power develop ment at Muscle Shoals, Ala, cham pions of the Muscle Shoals provision admitted it was doomed as a sacrifice to obtain passage of the budget.
 The Fordney emergency tariff bill was returned to the house today with to take it up tonight, with little expec- tation that the necessary two thirds vote to override the veto would be forthcoming.
 Important bills remaining in Presi- dent Wilson's hands without indication of their fate were the immigration restriction bill, and three appropria- : tion bills, the army budget, the annual agricultural bill and the Qualifications supply measure.
 Despite the rush of business the house paused for an hour tonight to pay tribute to former Speaker Champ Clark.
 The crux of battle was the navy bill in the senate. Senator Poindexter. Republican of Washington, in charge of the measure, admitted its defeat early today and sought to withdraw it from the senate. It was ruled that his motion was not in order and the bill remaining pending all day, but there was no program for its disposition Some leaders declared it was being used to head off consideration of the soldiers bonus and other bills against which powerful opposition has been centered.
 | It appeared probable that the bill for | government regulation of cold storage ! would be among those saved from de- 1 feat. A new compromise agreement in | conference was reached and adopted promptly by the senate with similar | action expected in the house. | Squeezed through the jam over the | naval bill also was a new measure ap- propriating s1S,600,000 for hospital ex tensions for war veterans.
 Several nominations were confirmed by the senate with consent of Repub lican leaders.

GEORGE SAYS VICT0RS MUST NOT PAY PRICE OF DEFEAT; ALLIES DELIVER ULTIMATUM
IRepublIcan A. p. Leased wirel

LONDON, March 3-The Germans have until Monday to bring their coun- ter proposals to the Paris findings on reparations into accord with the allies views. Whether they will attempt to do so is a matter of conjecture. The British version of Dr. Simon's reply to MT Lloyd George indicated that they would. He is quoted as say ing that the Germans would examine the premier's speech, that their inten- ton had been mistaken and that no occasion would arise for employment of the measures outlined by the allies. The German text of Dr. Simons l speech however, put a different com plexion on the matter. According to this, the German foreign secretary pro- tested against sanctions (pena1ties) without legal foundation" This, of course. is based on the treaty which provides that penalties cannot be enforced until after May 1, but ig- nores the allies contention that the Germans have failed to comply with the conditions of the treaty.
 pr. Simons is in close consultation with the other members of his dele gation and the Berlin cabinet. The be- lief prevailed that new proposals will be made such as MT. Lloyd George speech aimed at.
 The British prime ministers presen tation of the allies case greatly pleased the French. He drew a parallel be- tween German action now and at Frankfort in 1871 when the treaty was based on the assumption that France was in the wrong and generally de- manded not only reparation but pay ment by France of the whole cost of the war.
 Until Germany accepts the position that she is responsible for the late war and interprets her obligations accord ngly," said MT. Lloyd George these conferences will be futile'
 Will Occupy German Towns
 He insisted, however that the allies were not going so far in the matter oi payment as the Germans went in 1871
 It is noted that the towns to be oc- cupied in case the Germans refuse to come to terms face the territory occu- pied by the Anglo Belgians so that ! these armies will be the first to move should the necessity exist. The German people are under the | impression that the demands of the z allies represent intolerable oppression ! said MT. Lloyd George. ] Let me say" he added, we regard 5 a free. prosperous and contented Ger many as essential to civilization. r We simply ask Germany to discharg,

PRESIDENT DECLARES THIS. IS NO TIME FOR ERECTION. OF HIGH TRADE BARRIERS.
President Wilson In Veto Message Says There No Just hcation For High Tariff When World Is Trying To Re cover From War Effects; Says Revenue Yield of Ford ney Measure Has Slight Interest
(BulIetin)


 WASHINGTON, March 3.-Ef- ferts to override President Wilson's veto of the Fordney emergency tariff bill failed in the house early this morning and the measure, originally designed to aid the farmers, thereby met it's death.
 The vote on the motion to pass the measure over the presidents veto was 201 for and 132 against. This was 21 votes less than the necessary two thirds. The veto was called up and voted on with out discussion. There was little expectation among Republicans that they could round up the two thirds vote necessary to override the veto and 1t was for this reason that some leaders had urged Chair
 man Fordney of the ways and means committee to let it lie on the table without action.
 WASHINGTON. March 9.-The Ford ncy emergency tariff bill was vetoed late today by President Wilson in a message which declared that this is no time for tn eerection here of high trade barriers" and that it would not furnish in any substantial degree the relief sought by the producers of most of the staple commodities which it covers"
 Action on the veto was expected in the house and possibly the senate to- night.
 "The situation in which many of the farmers find themselves cannot be rcmedied by measure of this sort, the president said. There is no short way out of existing conditions. and measures of this sort can only have the ae {, I,n far raising false hopes among them"
 The president said the measure "has only slight interest so far as it's pros Inactive revenue yields are concerned, and declared that the rates established in the bill "either equal or exceed those established under the Payne AIdrich act. under which the principle of protection reached it's high water mark. and the enactment of which wa: followed by an effective exhibition o protest on the part of the majority o he American people,
