BILL
VETOEDBY
COOLIDGE

President Coolidge today
vetoed the MeNary Hangen.
farm relief bill.
The veto YirtualIv kills I'll
lleek 81 farm relief at this
session Of Congress, for there
is no chance of enacting it
over the veto, nor is there time
to frame and push through
any other kind Of measure.
Called Unconstitutional
The principal reason cited by
the President for his veto today
was that the measure, as passed,
is unconstitutional. In support
Of that, he submitted q ten-page
opinion from Attorney General
Sargent.
The particular provision held to
be unconstitutional is that which
prescribes that the administration
OF the act shall be in charge of
men who would be nominated by
agricultural organizations. This
was held to be q violation of the
Presidents constitutional power Of
appointment.
Mr.. Coolidge's disapproval Of the
bill had been generally anticipated
for he vetoed a similar bill two
years ago. Makers of the meas
ure had made changes In 1t in an
effort to overcome the old OBJ

CASE
NEARING
Jury

Only the closing argument
for tie Government separated
the Busch murder trial from
Jury in the district SUI
Conrl 1t noon teday
. Arguments Complete
All defense arguments were
completed by that time, and fol-
lowing a brief recess for the
convenience of a juror, Assistant
United States Attorney George
d. Horning, ir., began suTinma-
ton of his case.
Longest in d. C.
The trial, which began seven
weeks ago, was said by James A.
O'Shea, counsel for JLhn F. Me-
Cabe, to have been the longest
murder trial in the history of the
District. Four men, Nick Eagles,
John Proctor, Sam Moreno and
McCabe, are charged with the MUIR
der of Policeman Leo w. II. Busch
last September IS.
Mr.. O'Shea brought tears to the
eyes Of two jurors during his plea
for acquittal. He related that Me-
Cabe's father had been a police
man, and that this defendant was
a soldier during the Mexican ex-
petition preceding the World War.
He characterized me five mos.
that McCabe has Deen in Jail as
'five months of terror, and
pleaded with the jury to take
him from that Jail, where he does
not belong"
Preceding o'shea. James B.
Archer, chief OF counsel Cor Proctor.
and Louis Tanenbaun representing
Eagles, delivered their pleas for ac-
uuittal. Archer told the jury that
no evidence had been presented
showing that Proctor had a gun on
the night of the killing, while Tanen-
baum declared that Eagles shot in
self.defense.
Emotional Pleas
with the exception of the argu-
ment for Proctor. all of the defense
counsel delivered emotional pleas.
Archer, in his closing statement.
spoke bitterly referring to Eagles
as s'that New York gunman. This
description was TSLFdClcu vi p1OlSsl
of Tennenbaum that no evidence
had been adduced to show that
Eagles was gunman.
The Government was severely criti-
cized by Mr.. Archer for what he
termed its extremity in going to
Eagles to put the blame on Proc
| tor" Eagles had testified that
Proctor fired first at the officer.
"Out at the JAIL Mr.. Archer de.
clared, ironically. 1--WE have an un.
harnessed electric chair. Is that un.
harnessed instrument of death to
be employed by the Government in
the eIectrocution of the first man
convicted of murder on the strength
of testimony that comes from a
man such as Eagles?"
| Mr.. Archer closed his arguments
for Proctor with the statement that
although Frank L. Ach, Tenth Pre-
cinct policeman and partner of
Busch. testified he fired point blank
five times at the imam in the rain
coat" there were no bullet holes in
the black slicker said to have been
worn by the man who shot Busch.
while the rain cape of the slain
officer revealed three bullet holes.

which is now held by Brockton.

each school as care to take part,
However, only the highest three
from each school will be counted
for the collective score represent
ing that school. "A. W. Warden
