SENATE HAS
A FIELD DAY
Passes Four Measures Over
Presidents Veto; Fifth At.
tempt Fails

Washington, May 24.-R-The
senate indulged in q field day to-
day at the expense of President
Coolidge, overriding in less than
two hours the vetoes which the
White House had attached to four
legislative accomplishments. A fifth
attempt failed.
The Tyson bill to grant retire
ment rights to disabled world war
emergency officers; the Oddie bill
for a $10,50O,0OO building program
on western public lands; the bills
calling for increased pay for night
postal workers and to grant fourth
class postmasters rental, fuel and
light allowances were all passed
over executive disapproval. Finally
the Steck bill to establish the posi-
tion of bandmaster in the army
failed to gain the two thirds major
ity necessary. The postal bills be-
came laws, because the house had
previously overriden the president
but house action still must be OBJ
tanned on the others.

Lamar, Colo, May 24.-(AP)-
After killing two officials of the
First National Bank of Lamar, four
robbers today were hiding some
where along the Colorado New Mex
leo border with a large amount Of
cash and negotiable securities.
Entering the bank yesterday fir
ing pistols, the robbers turned their
guns on John Parrish, cashier, and
his father, A. N. Parrish, president
of the institution, when they re-
turned the fire. The -irst shot of
the younger Parrish wounded one
of the four, but the father missed
and fell with a bullet in his head.
A moment later a bullet pierced his
sons heart.
Scooping up about $1,000 in cur
rency and nearly $195,000 in nego-
table securities, the robbers forced
two tellers into an automobile and
escaped. One of the tellers was re-
leased near here, but the fate Of the
other was unknown.
Posse in Gun Fight
Posses were organized and one
group under the leadership of the
sheriff engaged in a running gun
fight with the robbers Bullets soon
disabled the sheriff's automobile
and the men had evaded other pur-
suers.
The fugitives were next reported
at Trinidad. where they forced the
woman proprietor of drug store to
dress the wounds of the man shot
by young Parrish. He was shot in
the arm and in the side. Their ap-
pearance caused the organization Of
more posses and shortly after mid
night more than 1000 volunteers
were patrolling highways. Airplanes
were ordered to assist in the search
today.

hundred known extremists were un-

those responsible for bomb out
rage in which seven persons were
known to have been killed and for
the planting of second bomb the
explosion of which was prevented.
The bombing was attributed by
the police to anti-fascists who are
part of the radical element of
Buenos Aires.
A strong police guard was placed
around the Italian consulate where
the bomb exploded and about the
Italian embassy. The offices of
Italian newspapers were also under
guard.
Count Martin-Franklin, Italian
ambassador, said the bomb outrages
were direcly traceeble to anti-fas-
cist groups. He asserted they were
the same groups as were response
bic for the recent bombing in Milan,
Italy, which was intended to kill
King Victor Emmanuel.
He was certain the bomb had
been placed to explode at noon dur
ing ceremonies for the dedication of
the consulate, which notable per-
sons were to attend. The explosion
occurred ten minutes before the
time set for the dedication.

Kings Bay. Spitzbergen, May "a.
-(AP)--A cross containing mes
sage written by Pope Plus was
dropped on the north pole today
from the dirigible Italia, marking
the third trip by air to the top Of
the world.
General Umberto Mobile kept in
constant communication with the
mother ship Citta di Milano here as
the dirigible made it's way under his
command to the pole some $50 miles
north of here. At 1:20 a. m. almost
21 hours after the start of the ven-
ture, he wirelessed that the airship
was over the north pole.
The flags of Italy and Milan, the
cross presented by the pope to Gem
eral Mobile and various souvenirs
were dropped on the pole. The cross
is about six feet high with a metal
base and has repository in which
a message written in Latin by Pope
Plus was placed.
Immediately afterwards, the air.
ship sent wireless greetings to King
Victor Emmanuel, Premier Musso-
lini and Mobiles wife by wireless
through the Citta di Milano.
Expected at Base
The base crew expected the Italia
to return to Kings Bay this after
noon.
Gen. Mobile made his launching
Of the pope's cross and the Italian
flag upon the pole coincide with
Italy's celebration of the thirteenth
anniversary Of her entry into the
World war.
News of the Italia's reaching the
pole came this morning just as the
church bells were pealing in honor
of the war anniversary and a num-
Der of airplanes encircled the city
for two hours.
The base ship Citta di Milano,
which was in communication with
the Italia until 7:30 o'clock this
morning when the dirigible asked
for its position, was trying to get in
touch with the airship this morning,
no word having been received from
the Italia since that time.
AS the airship carries only one
radio operator it was believed that
he was taking a much needed sleep
after having obtained the dirigible's
position.
The personnel of the Citta di Mi
lano said that the airship remained
over the north pole for two hours,
but that General Mobile sent no mes
sages as to whether a descent had
been made from the airship as had
been planned. They were inclined
to think that no one descended.
