LEGION HEAD FAV0RS

Ball Shows Votes Enough to Over
ride President--Amend-
ments Adopted.

The insurance soldier bonus bill
was advanced rapidly in the Senate
yesterday in its first real test there,
and last night the atmosphere ap-
parently had cleared sufficiently TO
assure its passage without serious
contest early this week.
Democratic spok esmen indicated
they would not press their proposal
for inclusion in the bill of 4 full
cash payment option in the face of
insistent support for the pending
measure by both Republican leaders
and the American Legion
This stand was taken by Democrats
after Senator Watson, Republican.
Indiana. had told Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, the Democratic leader,
that some Republicans had told Pres
ident Coolidge they would vote 10
override a veto If he should oruer
they would vote to sustain veto
if the cash option were incorporated.

Likewise, Commander Quinn Of the

to each Senator urged support for
the pending insurance bill on the
grounds that it could be passed over
a presidential veto. but that a COM
bination cash and insurance propo-
sition could not. A careful POLL of
the Senate had shown such siJua-
ton. Mr. Quinn contended.
Repeated attempts by Senator Rob-
inson to verify "rumrs" that Presi-
dent Coolidge would sign the insur-
ance bill. but would veto the cash
measure. brought no definite response
from Republican Senator's.
Senator Curtis, Republican. Kan

insurance measure had a better
chance of obtaining presidential ap

D. A. R. BANQUET ENDS
ANNUAL CONVENTION
Thirty Third Congress One of Most
Peaceful and Progressive in
Society's History.
FLOOD OF RESOLUTIONS
Plan to Raze Memorial Hall Here
Is Denied.

Turning from the cares of con-
| gressional strife, the delegates to
the thirty-third continental congress
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. who had been in continu-
Gus session in Memorial Continental
| Hall for a solid week, gathered
around the festive board at the Hotel
| Willard last night for their annual
| banquet
The congress adjourned sine die
| yesterday afternoon immediately
after it had rushed through in its
| dying hours one of the larges,
patches of important resolutions any
convention has been called upon to
consider. More than 100 resolutions
were presented during the week, and
about one-half were permitted to die
| in committee because they merely
repeated action previously taken.
Peaceful and Progressive.
For the first time since Mrs. An
| thony Wayne Cook, the president
general, called the congress to order
last Monday morning, the delegates
had few minutes vacation from Off
cial business yesterday afternoon,
since they finished their work several
| hours ahead of schedule time. The
thirty-third congress. according to
Its leaders, will be written as one
| of the most peaceful and yet mos,
progressive in the history of the
society.
Perhaps the outstanding action
taken by it concerned the possible
erection here of a new auditorium
| considerable misinformation has been
circulated as result of the resolu.
ton which authorized the president
general to appoint a committee to in
quire into the physical and financial
| possibilities of having the society
erect an auditorium sufficiently large
| TO accommodate the ever-grovios
number of delegates and aIternates.
VIII Retain Building.
Adoption of the resolution gave
rise to belief that Memorial Cont.
Mental Hall, one OF the most beauti-
| ful buildings in Washington. and al.
ready spot Of historic interest, is tc
be razed. The plans, which are still
in doubt, call for Memorial Cont.
mental Hall TO remain intact, but 70,
| the construction of the new audi
tor1um on the large tract of land
now owned ty the society immedi-
| ately in the rear OF their office build
ing behind the ball The hall, it was
pointed out. will always be avail
able for delegation meetings and for
| other uses.
Mrs. Cook was the principal
| speaker at the banquet last night.
She declared that the spirit of Amer
icanlzadon that ruled the thirty
third Continental congress must in
evitably go forth to strengthen the
nation. She paid tribute to all of
| the delegates and the members of
| her cabinet and pointed out that
throughout the week there had been
present a spirit of genuine co-opera-
tion on every side.
Mrs George Maynard Minor. hon
orary president general. who recent
ly returned from a world tour, was
called upon to relate something of
her travels. She said that she had
visited ten countries and could truly
say she had come back to America
