HOUSE BONUS VOTE
EXPECTED TO DROP
If Roll Call Is Demanded 1t
May Show Increased
Opposition.
SUPPORT ON DECREASE
Quick Action on Conference
Report Looked For in
Both Branches.
PRESIDENT STANDS FIRM
Believed He Will Promptly
Return Raid Measure With
Veto Message.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. Sept. 3.
When the Senate and House con-
ferees 'get together on the bonus BILL
which will likely take place Tuesday
after little debate, the measure will be
reported back to the House, where the
$4,000, 100000 Treasury raid originated
With or without the Senate amend
ments. the House is expected quickly
to give its approval. although it is GER
tain that the sentiment in favor of
the measure has subsided TO a great
extent in that branch of Congress-
Many of those who saw in the support
of the bonus raid a chance to win
votes have been disillusioned by re-
cent primaries, when the electorate
cast in the discard many Congress
men who voted to add $4,000, 900 900
burden to the already overtaxed people
In all probability the conference re-
port on the bonus bill will be adopted
by viva voce vote or else rising
vote. However. should a roll call be de-
manded 1t undoubtedly will show many
more than 10 notes.-the number cast
against the bonus bill when it passed
the House on March %. in opposition.
In fact some of the House leaders ex-
press the opinion that at least 140 votes
would be recorded against Ii.
After the House approves the confer
ate. where speedy action is expected
Then The measure will be sent to the
White House, where II is certain to re-
ceive a cold reception by President
to sign the bill II he wishes to make 1t
a law.
However. the President is standing
firm in his opposition to the measure
and the indications are he will take
little time in rejecting the measure on
the ground that 1t is ill-advised and
unwise legislation at this time. 1t Is
expected that he will return the meas
ure to Congress with his "disapproval," /"
accompanied by message setting
forth in unmistakable language his rea-
son for rejecting the bill. Then the
fight will be waged all over again in the
House and the Senate but on a minor
scale.
Here Is the rule of Congress setting
forth the procedure which will be fol-
lowed In the consideration of the bonus
bill after 1t goes to the White House:
IF the President disspproves he is
to return 1t. with his objections, to that
house in which IL shall have originated,
who are to enter the objections at large
on their journal and proceed to recon
s'der 1t. If. after such consideration,
two-thirds of that house shall agree to
pass the bill 1t shall be sent together
with the Presidents objections, to the
other house. by which IL shall likewise
be reconsidered and il approved by two
thirds OF that house 1t snail become a
law.
'Tf any bill shall not be returned by
the President within ten days (Sundays
excepted) after it shall have been pre-
sented to him, the same shall be a law
in like manner as IL he had signed II.
unless Congress, by adjournment, pre-
vents its return. in which case Ii shall
not become a law

the South Shore there is great demand
for dwellings and apartments. with no
prospect of immediate reductions in
rents.
Below are comments from brokers' re-
fecting views typical of various locali-
ties.
De Hart Bergen, So Lafayette avenue.
Brooklyn: There are plenty of apart
ments for everybody this fall. The de-
mand is for s35 to $50 month apart
ments, and there will be a great many
empty high class apartments after Octo-
Der l. Rents on the higher class apart
ments are bound to come down. but the
cheaper ones won't be affected
Martin +. Huberth, Columbus Cir
Gle: There is no shortage. Rents have
been reduced in many instances and
such reductions were in the older types
of flats. There have been slight de-
creases in old houses in less desirable
streets. but there cannot be a big drop
because the landlords can't stand it."
f. c. Bancroft, of Pease & Elliman,
$40 Madison avenue: The rents Of
cheap apartments are not going down
because no new ones have been put up.
Rents are about as they were a year
ago. In the newer houses they are
higher because of the high cost of con-
struction. This season. hewever. is not
unusual. There will be a gradual re-
adjustment of prices. but it will extend
over so many years 1t will not be notice.
able. We look for shortage OF apart
ments at $4,000 a year and upwards.
because a great many inquirers have
held off. declaring they would get lower
prices later. If they all come in at one
time there will be a scramble"
l.. J. Phillips & Co.. 14S West Seventy
second street: There are plenty of apart
ments at $4,000 year and up, but there
is shortage Of the cheaper flats because
no new ones have been erected. The
whole question is one of localities"
II. N. Flanagan, % Union Square: /:
"Our East Side flats are being snapped
up as fast as vacated and at increased
rentals. l could get $40 a room for
flats now renting at 50 a room If the
tenants would move out"
It. A. Shaw, of Shaw & Co., 1 West
125th street: Rents on new apartments
in the West Bronx have fallen from
S25 and $50 a room to SIS and S22.
On the side streets they may drop to
SIT and SIS, but on the avenues they
will be SIS and $40 in the new houses Of

Office of Mayor of Second avenue was
settled yesterday. There was a new
election. 1t was held in Rabeles' res-
taraunt. 40 Second avenue. The Duke
won over Yussel Madinsky, 79--62.

chicken and duck that was about to be
served to his patrons. After casting his
ballot each voter passed out through the
pantry. where the food is vised by the
cashier before going on the table.
Whether that has anything to do with
it or not the fact remains that Mr..
Rabeles wants to know who is going to
