Washington, Sept. 16.-President
Harding has definitely decided to veto
the soldiers bonus bill and will send
his message to the house, Tuesday.
according to some of his close advisers
who have talked with him recently.
The number of senators absent
when the vote comes may decide the
issue, a1tho it was said that every ef-
fort would be made to obtain pairs
for all absentees including those SEN
ators in Europe, who were not paired
in the vote, August 81, when the SEN
ate passed the bill At to %.
Result in Doubt.
Some of the. presidents friends
formal canavass in the senate in the
hope of counting enough votes to pre-
vent the overriding of the veto there.
The result now was regarded as
doubtful, with some friends and foes
alike declaring there could not be a
definite estimate in advance of the
actual roll call.
The soldiers bonus bill was signed
by Speaker Gillett at 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon.
The soldiers bonus bill, in con-
gress in one form or another for three
years, finally was today before Presi-
dent Harding. The presidents at
titude toward it still was the one big
question in the minds of both friends
and foes. The answer is expected

A CLEAN FREE FAIR.

The great Kansas Free Fair comes
to a close tonight.
It's entertaining and eniightening
features have been featured daily in
the news columns. 1t has been an
inspiration to many, many thousands
of Kansans this week.
There is one feature that should not
be overlooked The fair has been
clean and free from lawlessness. City
and county police protection has been
efficient and effective.
Apparently. also, there has been no
gambling on the grounds this year.
On the opening day of the fair j. S.
Longshore, superintendent of guards,
reported to Attorney General Hopkins
that owing to@athe difference of
opinion as to the Legitimacy of luck
and skill devices among the conces-
sions the Free Fair management had
decided to leave all power OF control
in the hands of the state.
superintendent Longshore stated
that the Fair management would
close up and eliminate any device con-
demned by the attorney generals Of
flee.
This is the last day of the fair and
not report of law infringement has
been reported to the management by
the attorney general. Attorney Cen
eral Hopkins had men on the grounds
at all times. -.--,---.
The Free Fair association ALWAYS
has made an effort to keep the ex-
position clean and in past seasons the
enforcement has been turned to the
Topeka Ministerial ASSOCIATION and to
city and county police. There have
been differences in the interpretations
of the law, however. and everything.
was turned over to the attorney gen
eraI this year. y
The Free Fair is to be commended
for its efforts to keep the grounds
clean and free from gambling and
petty crime.
