! Helm willing to Talk.
| Several Of Mr.. McCumber's COL
leagues urged him to permit the bonus
bill to be disposed of at once. While
they were doing so Senator Heflin,
Democrat. of Alabama. sprang into the
fray and announced that If Mr.. Nc
Cumber didn't go through with his
plan to prevent showdown on the
bonus he, the Alabama Senator. would
provide all the vocal obstruction nee
essary to accomplish the purpose.
There was good deal of confusion
| in the chamber at this time and some
Senators took advantage of 1T to inject
business of their own dealing with the
representatives of committees. While
Senator Lodge and other Republicans
were laboring with Mr.. McCumber
Senator Heflin proceeded to make a
speech in favor of the bonus. during
which he attacked Wall Street in char
acteristic fashion. expressed a most
disagreeable opinion Of profiteers and
made fervid plea to the Senate to
give the soldier boys Government cash.
He talked nearly an hour to compar-
atively tenantless Senate and sparsely
occupied gallery.
Senator Ashurst (Dem., Ariz.), an
other bonus advocate, also argued in
support of the bonus.
Meantime Senator McCumber had
cooled off and agreed to a vote on con-
dition that he would have ample OPP
portunity to sing his swan song. He
was invited to go as far as he liked in
this respect and he availed himself of
the privilege. Mr.. McCumber gave
full play to his emotions as well as
unlimited exercise to his vocabulary.
He frequently referred to weak
kneed" Senators who had permitted
themselves to be Influenced by the
Judgment Of one man'--meaning the
President
/ Takes Issue with President.
He took issue with the President on
every phase of the bonus question
touched on in the veto message. He
declared that the 1gureS submitted 10
the President as to the probable cost
Of the bonus were entirely too large.
'It is nonsense to assume that any
special system would be necessary to
provide the funds to carry out the pro-
visions of this BILL" he shouted.
Mr.. McCumber read from the Con-
stitution of the United States to sup
port his argument that the President
possessed too much authority to over
ride the decree Of Congress. He re-
ferred several times to the vote by
which the measure had been passed
by the two houses on the first test
and predicted that if all the Senators
who wele in various parts of the world
would come home and attend to their
business the bonus bill could be passed
regardless Of the wishes of the Presi-
dent.
while the President of the United
States has more power than any mon
arch in the world" said Mr.. McCum-
ber. Il do not believe he should use 1t
| in this case"

Glove Imports Larger.

There has been great Improvement
In the business of imported glove manu-
facturers in the last few weeks. Prac-
tically every description of foreign
gloves has shared in the activity. The
impending tariff bill, which is ex-
pected by the trade to go into effect
in the near future, is the cause for the
betterment in demand. according to a
prominent factor. Retailers who re-
Gently had placed orders calling for de-
livery in October and November, he
said, are requesting that shipments be
made now. Other merchants who have
been delaying their fall and winter
preparations also have begun to send In
orders demanding immediate shipment.
By receiving their goods at this time
retailers will avoid paying the in
creased prices which Will come when
the tariff is put into effect the manu-
facturer declared

McCumber Predicts Again.

He then issued a solemn warning
that while the opposition to the bonus
could now prevent it's enactment into
law by resort to constitutional tech
nicalities, the bonus will come up in
the next Congress.
THE principle involved in the bonus
BILL" shouted Senator McCumber, ig-
Tnoring the fact that he had previously
described it as an adjusted compensa-
ton bill. Twill not die. I believe that
when the next Congress meets the
House will work out a plan to meet
the conditions laid down by the Presi-
dent"
Incidentally, the President did not
make any condition. He disapproved
of the bonus bill on principle. Senator
McCumber was very much provoked
over the rule which permitted one Sem
ator to disqualify the votes Of the two
in the repassage of bill over an
executive veto. He said that while
this rule had prevailed in the Senate
for a long time it was an unfair propo-
sition and should be abolished. He
added that the President should defer
to the overwhelming sentiment Of Con-
gress and throughout the country in
favor of the bonus bill.
with the exception of tho metro
politan press, which represents special
| interests" he said, there is no OBJ
| lection to this legislation throughout
the country, nor have we heard any
complaint from the people of the taxes
| 1t would impose. Every cloud of
| doubt which existed months ago about
the ability of the Treasury to take
care of this bill has been dissipated.
We would have the slightest trouble
in raising the revenue"
Mr.. McCumber had scarcely settled
in his seat. before there were demands
from all parts of the chamber for
vote" votes Almost every Sena-
tor had a roll call i'm front of him, al
though the result wsas a foregone
conclusion. Mr.. McCumber conceded
the fact as he left the chamber after
responding to his own name. The roll
call was humdrum character, the
only one interruption being con-
| tributed by Senator'S announcing
pairing arrangements between their
absent colleagues. There was not
even a ripple of applause when Mr..
Cummins closed for the present session
ut least the bonus fight and by am
nouncing the result. In doing so lie
said:
/ THE result of this vote is "A to 2S.
Since two-thirds of those voting did
| not vote to override the Presidents
veto, the bill fails of passage"
