HARDING SILENT; SOLDIERS BONUS
 VETO EXPECTED

Washington, Sept. 19-Although the White House maintained strict silence today as to President Harding's ac- ton on the soldiers bonus bill, the expectation prevailed in Congress1on- al quarters that a veto message would be forthcoming before nightfal.
 The Presidents message is under stood to be virtually completed. It is described by those who have had a hand in its framing as being a 'vigor- ous" document, reviewing the history of the bonus, and calling particular attention to the fact that in rejecting the measure the Chief Executive is only carrying out the policy he out lined months ago of refusing to accept any legislation that did not carry with it the means of providing the money to meet the cost of the bonus.

 'This fact was established by two notes, one from William F'esse1, miner and chemist and father of a family, who perished and the other from an unknown hand.

The fleet of freighters carrying coal to this port from overseas to meet the shortage caused by the strike is so great that discharging berths are in- adequate. As a result a motley group of fifteen vessels are swinging at anchor in the roads, delayed at a cost of $1,000 a day each, their cargoes un- available while other colliers congest the wharves. Vessel captains say that somewhat similar conditions prevail at British ports because of the large number of steamers seeking coal car goes there for shipment to this coun- try,

 Be Eliminated

Halifax, Sept. 19-W. Startling Bur gess, designer of the American fishing schooner Mayhower, was here today to try and overcome the objections to the vessel reiterated by the Nova Scotia trustees of the International Fishermen's cup. Prepared to go be- fore the board to argue reconsidera- ton of their decision, to bar the ves- se1, MT. Burgess said her plans would show her to be a legitimate fish herman.
 The finding of the trustees centered about the Mayf1ower's rigging, which they termed freakish, and the schoon- er's carrying capacity, held to be less than that of other fishing vessels, the designer said. adding that both points should be disposed of quickly.
