ference seven Republican senators.
Four Of these who previously had
voted for the bill cast their ballots

Altogether, there were only Ave
senator's who had supported the bill

Kinley. Illinois; Phipps, Colorado,
and Sterling, South Dakota. All ex-
cept Senator Colt were at the white

Administration Seeks Delay
The last move Of the administration
was to seek delay in the vote until
Saturday, Senator Reed, Republican,
Pennsylvania, asking unanimous con-
sent to defer action utnil that time.
The senate was in no mood for delay,
however, and as Senator Ashurst.
Democrat, Arizona, objected there

from both sides of the chamber.

against the President.
Little Hope of Tax Cut
White house officials in discussing
the senate situation emphasized that
the tax reduction was predicted upon
the assumption that there would be
no bonus legislation. While they re-
fused to say so directly they left the
impression that congress having de-
cided on bonus, hope of material
tax reduction must be abandoned.
Secretary Mellon was not prepared
to discuss the effect OF the bonus
upon the treasury's financial program.
but he said that sooner or later
there must be provision for payment
and 1T can be met only by new taxes"
Mellon Confers with Coolidge
The treasury secretary conferred
with President Coolidge after the
senate acted, but neither he nor White
house officers would disclose the sub
ject matter Of the conference. Mr..
Mellon, also declined to comment on
suggestions by some treasury officials
that the treasury could not do other
wise than recommend veto of the
pending tax legislation as q result Of
the passage Of the bonus.
Mr.. Mellon said he could make no
intelligent statement concerning the
whole situation until he had received
from his assistants information now
in preparation concerning the effect
bonus payments will have on future
fiscal operations Of the government.

The scene in the Senate as the vote
came was unusual. The galleries were
crowded and many members Of the
House and others had places on the
floor. With the announcement of the
vote which ended Ave years fight for
a bonus, the spectators broke into ap-
plause. President Cummins threaten
ed to have the galleries cleared, but
scarcely had the demonstration gotten
under way before a number Of Demo-
cratic senator's Joined in the applause.
Both opponents and proponents had
marshalled as many Of their forces as
possible. Senator Lenroot, Republican,
Wisconsin, returned to the Senate to

Senator Curtis said he believed the
minds OF senator's had been made up
and that debate was useless. Senator
Robinson concurred and senator's de-
manded a vote, but Senator Medley,
Democrat, West Virginia, took the floor
to call attention to a publication that
there were 10 senators whose attitude
should be watched by proponents Of the

Senator Tess. Republican, Ohio, one
OF the 10 senator's named In the publi-
cation, said to best answer was to vote,
which the Senate then proceeded to do.

A Safer, Saner Fourth


 JIMMIE WILD could scarcely wait
 for tomorrow to come. It would be the Fourth of July and he had spent almost dollar pre- parin gto celebrate. For days he had stopped in the little store to buy fascinating red packages-crackers and snappers and other kinds of fireworks to gladden. the heart of a small boy.
 It seemed as if tomorrow would never come.
 There was nothing to do but wait. Of course he had his precious store of firecrackers already purchased. But one had to wait till daylight the morn- ing of the glorious Fourth if one played square with the other boys on the street. And Jimmy always did that.
 Jimmie's mother was going to the Children's hospital for her weekly visit, and because her small son looked very disconsolate she sent him into the gar den to cut roses.
 Get q lot, Jimmie,' she called. Red and pink and yellow ones. Little boys who have to stay in bed on sunny days love the smell of roses"
 So Jimmie cut an armful of roses and presently he went with his mother to the big white hospital at the top of the hill.
 It was at the entrance to the boys public ward that his mother said he might go Tn and deliver the flowers him. self.
 Leave a nice bouquet with each boy" she said.
 So Jimmie went in, little hesitating- ly, because he did not like hospitals. Once he had had his tonsils removed and he hated the memory of the forty eight hours he had spent in the hospital.
 At the bed in the arch at the end of the ward Jimmie stopped. The boy in the bed was very pale and thin, and his eyes were bandaged. His arm was bandaged, too, and Jimmie saw with horror that there was no hand where the hand should have been.
 Don't you like roses?" asked Jimmie after he had placed a bunch of per. fumed beauties on the snowy cOverlid and the boy had made no attempt to pick them up with the hand that was left.
 q can't see them. I'm blind. Please put them in my hand," said the boy.
 Jimmie felt hot and cold all over, and like bursting into tears. Blind And only little boy like himself!
 He put the roses in the blind boys hand.
 Cant you see anything?" he asked
 Mot a thing. I've been in the hos pital for a year and the doctor ampu- tated my hand yesterday. They tried to save it but it wasn't any use."
 Jimmie felt sick. He knew what "amputated" meant.
 "But-what hurt you so dreadfully Were you run over by an automobile? p he quavered, and big tears of sympathy ran down his face.
 II was playing with firecrackers. Ii
