Harding Expected to Veto

Night
SENATE TO SUSTAIN
House Would Override Veto But Sen

DirectiOn-Cannot Raise Money
Objection.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Soldier bo-
nus supporters virtually abandoned
hope today that an adjusted compen-
sation bill can be made into law at this
session of congress.
Before night, President Harding IS
expected to veto the Fordney-McCum-
Der bonus measure and send it back
to congress with vigorous message de-
failing the reasons for his action.
An eleventh hour poll OF the full SEN
cutive. but without hope that it would
be favorable, bonus advocates made a
final drive to line up sufficient votes
to override a veto. They learned, it
was admitted. that they face almost
certain defeat.
An eleanth-hour poll fthe full Sem
qte. II was said, showed that 81 Sena-
tors. one more than is reiuired, will
vote to sustain a veto. Tremendous
efforts were being made today to IN
fiuence several of these senators to
change their minds, but none. 1t was
reportcd, displayed a sign OF weak
ening.
There was no doubt that the house
would pass the bill over the veto.
President Harding, in his veto mes
sage. was expected to say that the
chief reason for his stand was that the
bonus measure carried no provision
for raising the necessary revenue. IN
this. il was said. Harding would stand
precisely upon his original ultimatum
TO congress-that he would counte-
nance enactment Of no bonus bill that
did not pay its way.

Tonight Baggett's Field at the
head of Harvard ST will be the stage
of the most stupendcus dramatic un-
dertaking ever attempted in this
citv vastly rich in historic lore. The
History Pageant was rehearsed last
night IN completeness even to the
playing of the band and the posting
of guards.
Never before have Alexandrians
been given the chance to see their fel-
low towns men as they will be seen
tonight. Beneath the myriad lights
which have been arranged 50 as to
give the stage the most advantageous
illumination will be depicted the four
scenes which have been laboriously
prepared and which will be a repro
duction of four of the incidents in
the history of Old Dominion dearest
to the hearts of its loyal sons and
daughters.
The pages of Nirginia's history will
be turned tonight and tomorrow night
and will be read with a greater clear
ness and understanding than ever be-
fore. Thousands are expected to be
on hand early tonight to see the most
wonderful spectaclCs with prominent
AleXandrians in the leading roles.
The dress rehearsal last night sat
isfied the committee in charge OF pro-
duction and went off in 4 manner that
was far smoother than they had even
dared TO dream. Those IN charge feel
that the past months tedious aborS
viii be fully repaid when the scenes
begin to move tonight.
From the moment the Mage in
the Tower Mr.. A. j. Rhodes called
out his introduction from the darken-
ed stage until the finish the entire
affair went Off lacking any bitches =
whatsoever and with very few inter
ruptions.
The whole presentation proceeds
slowly and in a distinctly dicnified
manner up until the last moment
when one of the elves Of Comus steals
upon the stage in the being Of Norris

ored servant Of Washington. he leads
the wandering Italian singer to his

performing and takes the difficult
