Far-past days in the history of the United States were recalled as the judges visited the Armstrong and Dunbar schools, in their rounds of the local secondary schools. Motoring in an automobile of The Star from the courthouse at 3:30 o'clock yesterday aftermoon, the judges arrived at the Armstrong School to find the principal, Capt. Ar- thur C. Newman, and the pupils awaiting them. The judges, following their custom, as set in the three hearings last week, when prize-winning orators of the Central, McKinley and Business high schools "were heard, took seats well in the rear of the auditorium. This position enables the judges to test the carrying ability of the voice. Crowded With Puplils and Parents. The hall was well crowded with pupils and parents when Principal Newman introduced Mr. Gaddis, who were de- Tustices the in- was the winner in the seventh dis- | trict of The Star's zonme of the na- | tional contest. To him, as to each of the other local District winners, has been presented The Star's check for $100. The Armstrong orator “Alexander Hamilton und the Con- stitution.” Begianing, he said: “1 know of nothing more difficult than to render an adequate tribute to the Constitution and to Alexander Ham- ilton, the master builder. For those of us who have shared the nation life and felt the beat of its pulse, it must be considered a matter of impossibility to express to the world the great things which are embodied in_that document. Declaring that the preamble to the Constitution “fixed sovereignty in the hands of the people forever,” the speaker continued: “Oh, what times were they! What need of statesman- ship, patriotism and wisdom! No central power, no constitution, no government; with poverty, agricul- tural distress, uncertainty and the prostration of all -busines No na- tional credit, no national esprit de corps, a mass of disconnected and anarchic forces threatening to engulf us in worse evils than those from which we had fled! 1In that crisis came Alexander Hamilton, a sincere and true patriot who gave his life and services to weld these forces into a nation.” At the conclusion of the oration, which took approximately ten minutes for delivery, the judges con- Continued on page 9, column 32, spoke on | | | would ask for discharge of the Sen- | aay by | United States Chamber of Commerce, TAX BILL CONTROL| Senate Appoints Three Adminis- tration Members and Two Democrats Conferees.

SENATE UPHOLDS FIRST COOLIDGE VETO Bursum Pension Bill Lacks One Vote of Overriding Presi- dent’s Objection. President Coolidge's veto of the Bursum pension bill was sustained today by the Senate. The vote to override was §3 to 25, one vote less than the two-thirds re- quired. The action crowned with success the first attempt of Mr. Coolidge to block legislation by exercise of the veto power. _ Like President Harding, he disap- proved the bill because of the expense involved.

In reply to a question sentative Oscar E lic innesota nicipal r. had ence along similar lines, Col. Kelly admitted that if the government made this development at Great Falls and Chain Bridge, the cost would be considerably less than under private development and that. therefore, it would be possible to give the power generated to the consumers at & con- siderable reduction in price Another question by Representative Keller showed that there would be a saving of 114 per cent in the sale of bonds alone. “It is difficult valid objection benefiting by Keller, who. previou Repra- Repub- a mu- experi- to conceive of any to the government itself and promoting the of the National (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.) | WORLD FLYERS HOP OFF AGAIN TOMORROW Maj.
