PRESIDENT KILLS
CIVIL WAR PENSION
INCREASE BY VETO

Washington, Jan. 3.-Loss to Civil
and Mexican War pensioners of the
large blanket pensions increases pro-
posed by the Bursum bill was threat
ened today through the veto of the
bill by President Harding.
The president returned the bill to
the Senate, where it originated. with
a message attacking it as a whole and
specifically. He declared it would cost
the government $10S,00OO00 annually
and set a precedent entailing pension
obligations of $4,000, 100000 within the
next so years He also disapproved
specially provisions giving pensions
rights to widows of veterans who had
been married only two years.
Despite the presidents veto, Senator
Bursum. Republican. New Mexico au-
thor of the bill which would raise
Civil and Mexican War veterans pen
sions from $50 to $72 a month and
their widows from $50 to $50, as we'll
as increase the amounts to nurses who
saw active service in the Civil War
and provide for Indian War veterans
and their widows, announced that he
would endcavor to have the bill passed
over the veto. At the same time he adj
mitted there was little probability of
it's passage over the veto.
When the bill passed the Senate there

no roll call to indicate the Senate line

dicated that they would generally stand
behind the presidents veto. They also
said Democratic votes to sustain the
veto were expected. and there was CON
siderable doubt whether the necessary
u-thirds vote could be mustered. A
two-thirds vote in the House also
would be required.
The veto. which was declared by at

pension measure by president was

Paris. Jan. 3.-(By A. P)-Rup-
ture of the premiers' conference,
with all its dangerous possibilities
for Eupore and the Near East, was
barely avoided today by a recess I'M
til tomorrow, when the unfinished
declaration by the British prime
minister, Mr.. Bonar Law, in reply
to Premiers Poincare and Theunis
will be completed, and Marquis
Della loretta will have a formal
opportunity to state the Italian gov
ernment's position.
The conference, in the judgment
of both French and British dele
gates, will probably end tomorrow
without an agreement, thus breaking
up unity among the Allied govern
ments. upon which the policies of all
the principal western powers are
based.
There is much dismay and anxiety
over the situation. The tone of the
conference has been cordial enough,
but the British and FreAch views are
irreconcilable as they stand now. Mr..
Bonar Law is regarded by the French
as personally desirious of doing all
he reasonably can to prevent break,
but since the publication of the
British plan. he is thought to be
limited absolutely by his own pro-
position or propositions, which, in
the view of the French. were pre-
pared by officials of the British
treasury. in cooperation with Sir
John Bradbury, the British member
of the reparations commission, and
