He claimed the visit was for the purpose of black mail, which, he said, he could prove was being carried on extensively by Saffiatti and Gallilli throughout the city.

 COUNTS IN MINEOLA
Fernando Laudati. Escaped Murderer Carried Concealed Weapons and
 Violated Liquor Law.

Stamford, Oct. 10-Jnder the name of Alfred Esposito, the police are in- formed, Ferdinando Laudati, an escaped murderer has been arrested in Mineola, N. Y, charged with car rying concealed weapons and viola ton of the liquor law He gave his address as Brooklyn and is being held for trial

IT is BELIEVED BY MANY THAT
THE PRESIDENTS VETO CAN
BE SUSTAINED.
PROBABLY MODIFY MEASURE
Tom Watson Changes His Mind and
VIII Vote Against the Biil--Dem-
ocrats Ask Immediate Action
But Republicans Delay

Washington.-A sufficient number of
votes are in sight to sustain a presi-
Dental veto applied to soldiers COM
pensation legislation. A poll OF the
serfate was completed, showing IS SEN
ators pledged to vote against overrid-
ing Mr. Harding's veto. This is two
more than enough to prevent effective
action.
Those opposed to the bonus now are
relying on a veto when the bonus bill
is passed. They have made careful
inquiries regarding the presidents at
titude and feel absolutely convinced he
will not approve the meaure as now
drawn.
Those supporting the proposition
realize that situation and are planning
to make the bill acceptable by chang
ing it to meet some of the presidents
objections. It Is not known whether
or not this can be done.
Consideration of the bonus was
deferred until the middle OF this week.
This was done for the purpose of per-
mitting the senate leaders to confer
with the president and ascertain just
what can be done in the direction OF
modifying the measure to obviate the
presidents objections.
Senators have been deluged with re-
quests for early action on the bonus.
Telegrams. and letters have been pour
ing in from nearly every American Le-
gion post in the country. All were re-
quested to communicate with the SEN
ators from their respective states and
stir them up to moving with more
speed.
Opponents of the bonus have made
all preparation FOR har fight. 1t will
include the exertion of pressure upon
the president to stand firm and utilize
the veto.
Predictions are made that the op-
position will gain some recruits as the
debate proceeds. Watson of Georgia,
heretofore an ardent advocate OF sol
diers' compensation. has turned turtle
and will not support such legislation
at present. II will not vote for any
BILL" said Watson, that adds one cent
of taxtaion to the burdenr of the
American people,"
There might be no objection, said
Watson, to using Part of the for eign
war loans in meeting bonus require
ments, but in his opinion these funds
will not be available for q long period.
II at all. He does not see any assist
ance in sight from that source.

ADDS THREE BILLION DOLLARS
TO LIVING COSTS SAY SOME
DEMOCRATS.
LONE REPUBLICAN OPPOSES
Believed G. o. P. VIII Keep "Aboml.
nabIe Measure in Conference un-
til After EIeetions-Three
Democrats vfte For Bill.

| Washington - The Fordney-McCu
ber tariff measure, characterized by
democratic leaders as ''the most abom-
inal legislative act Of an American con-
gress," passed the senate late Saturday
afternoon. The vote was 4S to %.
The duties in the measure are the
highest since the Grant administra-
ton. AS matter of fact the $4O0. 0.000.-
900 revenue, which the republicans es.
innate will be gained under the meas.
ure, is $50,000.000 in excess OF the rev.
enue from any tariff bill heretofore.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho.
cast the only negative vote on the ma.
jority side. He announced that Sen.
ator Norris, republican,, Nebraska, if
| present. would vote against the bill.
A similar statement was made by Cur
tbs concerning the attitude of Senator
| LaFollette republican, Wisconsin.
These three democrats voted with
the republicans for the bill: Brous-
sard, Louisiana; Hendricks, Wyoming.
ana RanSdell, LlulSlana.
| Experts virtually agreed that the
average duties of the Fordney-McCum.
Der bill are considerably higher than
those of the Payne-Aldrich act, which
was speedily repudiated by the people
1t is also declared the average is high
er than when the measure was report
ed from the finance committee. This
is due to the heavy increase in the ag-
ricultural and chemical schedules.
| The bill as passed will add some
thing like $4,000. 100000 to the bur
dens now carried by the ultimate con-
sumer, according to hasty computa-
tions made by democratic leaders and
| experts.
1t is figured that the higher duties
on sugar will cost the American pub
lie annually $157 100000.
-Four items in the cotton schedule
will add $10S,074.470 to the cost OF
clothing. Those cover only long sta
| Pile co,ion, cotton cloth. draperies and
cotton hosiery.
1t is figured that six paragraphs in
the wool schedule will take $195,447.-
063 from the pockets of the consuming
public. Included in these are raw
wool, yarns. cloth, carpets. dress goods
and flannels.
The detection OF Borah did not come
as shock to his associates. From the
outset he has consistently voted against
the proposed increases and an impress
sion prevailed that he could not ac-
cept the bill.
The bill will be sent to conference
to the house at once. A special rule
will be used to expedite action, II OBJ
jections to unanimous consent are
made. The course Of procedure was
decided upon at conference of -
publican members OF the house ways
