From the Kennedy mine, the orpo-

In less than one hour after the first
drill hole had been driven through INTO
the Arronaut a bulletin was sent to

MELLON EXPECTED TO RETURN
BONUS BILL RECOMMENDING VETO

fought out in the senate, where there
was doubt today as to the outcome
of an effort to override the expected
veto. Bonus supporters sent out word
Sunday night that everything was
fixed" and that if Harding refused
to make the bonus law, he would
be overriden. Anto-bonus senators
claimed that several who voted for
the bonus were waiting for Harding S
veto as a political aibi' to permit
them to change their position.
There was no doubt that the veto
would be overriden by the house
where bonus sentiment is much more
widespread. on account of the fact
that the entire membership of the
house comes up for reelection this
wear.
