HOUSE SUSTAINS 'PRESHDENT TAFT Efforts to Pass Wool and Free List Bills Over His Vetoes Unsuccessful CHAMP CLARK PLEADS FOR THE BILLS Laments the President’s Lack of Wisdom in Vetoing Them—Congressmen Mann and Cihyton Have a Wordy Battle—22 Insurgeats Vote With Democrats —Adjournment of Congress Expected by Wednesday. Washington, Aug. 1S.—In a succes- sion of dramatic events, the demo- cratic house of representatives met de- feat in its supreme effort to pass the woo! and free list bills over the pres- ! ident’s vetoes, and virtually fixed upon adjournment of congress early mnext week. Adjournment by Wednesday. The house on Monday will agree to cottca tariff revision bill as amend - ed in the senate, but will not hold con~ gress in session to await the certaim veto of that measure. The senate cleared away all its pusiness and adl- nment is assured, in the view of ers of both parties in both houses, next Wednesday at the latest. Champ Clark Makes Plea. Failure of the attempt of the sdem- ocratic house to override the vetoes came in a day filled with stirring in- cidents. The close of the debate on the motion of Mr. Underwood to pass the wool bill over the veto, found Champ Clark, speaker of the hoirse and an aspirant for the presidency, plead- ing the cause of his fellow democrats Trom the floor, surrounded by a throng of his colleagues who cheered mim vig- vrously. The galleries were ffilled to overflowing and the speaker, as he concluded, was given a demonstration that frhr several minutes delaved the roll call. 22 Insurgents Vete With Democrats. Om the motion to pass the measure over the wool veto there were 237 fMirmative votes, 22 of them insur- #ont republicans and one imdependent | republican, while the negatives were 128 The motion to override the veto | on the free list failed of a two-thirds majority also, the vote being 226 to 127 Debate Was Spirited, During the three hours of debate on the woo!l bill the corriders of the cap- #tol reverberated time and again with — I shouts of approval and derision from ‘the floor. Spirited discussions be- iween members were frequent. Repub- fican leader Mann and Representative Clayton of Alabama had a wordy en- counter which for a_moment had a threztening aspect. The incident was precipitated when the minority leader objected to the Alabama membeérs re- quest to have a newspaper editorial printed in the Congressional Record. Champ Laments Taft’s Lack of Wisdom Speaker Clark was given an ovation from both sides of the house when he left the chair and took the fioor to end the dgiscassion. The climax of his address was reached when he said: “The president has a right to veto this bill if he wants to. I am not quarreling with him. I am lamenting his lack of wisdom as his personal friend. He has raised an issue that will rage with unabated fury until the close of the polls in November, A Democratic Outburst. This was the signal for such an out- byrst as seldom has been known in the halls of congress. It was a genuine demonstration from his fellow demo- crats. Again and again as he pro- ceeded. the democrats applauded, cheered and pounded their desks until Democratic Lgader Underwood, who occupied the chair for the first time this session, almost despaired of main- taining” order. Then the roll call was called. Vote On Free List Bill Veto. No sooner had the result been an- nounced than the assistant secretary from the white house arrived with the president’s veto of the free lift bill After it had been read Mr. Underwood moved that it be passed notwith- standing the veto and after twenty minutes discussion the roll was called, the vote being 226 aves to 127 nays, much less than the two-thirds major- ity. ALL BLA:1E SHOULDERED ON TO ENGINEER ’CTJR‘I’IST Interstate Commerce Commission Re- port on Bridgeport Wreck. Washington, Aug. 18.—The New k New Haven & Hartford railroad N absolved and Engineer Curtis blamed for the wreck of the Federal | express at Bridgeport, Conn., July 11, where fourteen persons were killed and e more than forty injured, in a report today to the interstate commerce com- mission by H. W. Belnap, chief inspec- tor of safety appliances of the com- mission who made an_exhaustive in- gation of the wreck. Curtis, who was killed in had been an empleye of the New Haven road for 14 vears and was regarded as a thoroughly compe- ten: engineer. ' The report says he was familiar with the rules, tracks and signals at the place of the accident. The accident was caused,” reports inspector Belnap, “by the train cross- ing from track No. 7 to track No. 4 at a high rate of speed, estimated at be- tween 56 and 60 miles an hour.” The rules of the New Haven road required engineers to make that cross- at not to exceed 15 miles an hour. report indicates that Engineman Curtis, who had been ill, but appar- ently had recovered, might have been unconscious at the time, “but any at- terapted expianation would be a mere matter of conjecture.” The report recommended that auto- maltic train control apparatus be pro- yided to insure the stopping of trains when signals or rules were not obeyed; that switches should not be set to di- vert high speed trains from one track to another at any crossover not safe for high speed: and that approach looking should be provided to prevent switches from being changed from a | throuzh route to a diverging route aft- er a train has received signals for the through route. CONGRESSMAN HILL HAS NARROW ESCAPE. A Passenger On Tr: Which Collided With a Cew. Washington, Aug. 18.—Attorney General Wickersham, former speaker <Cannon, representative Mann of Illinois, republican leader of the house, and a party of republican members of con- gress, had a narrow escape in accident | on the Great Falls and Old Dominion ~ailway last night, when their special car, traveling at high speed, ran do; a cow. For a time it seemed that the | car would be hurled from a high tres- tle, but it held to the rails and no one was injured. Others in the party were Represen- tatives Olmstead, J. Hampton Moore, Dalzell of Pennsyivania, McCall of | Massachusetts, Madden and Copley of | Jilinois and Hill of Connecticut. No one was injured. The party went to Great Falls as the guests of Mr. Olmstead. They occupied | a special car and, on the Teturn trip while speeding ‘through Virginia the car came to a stop with a bump on a trestle spanning a deep ravine. Un- | derneath the forward trucks was wedz- ed the bedy of fine Holstein cow. It was miraculous that the ear was not derailed. The officlal party assisted the crew in removing the carcass of the animal | and after half an hour's delay the car proceeded in safety to the city. OBITUARY. Z Hiram Oldershaw.

Lisbon, Aug. 18.—Thirty army offi- cers were poisoned at their mess din- ner at Torres Noves last night, appar- ently from arsenic. Prompt use of stomach pumps saved the lives of all of them.

Berlin, Aug. 18.—The Prussian gov. ernment today reduced the railwa freight rates on feed for live stoc one half, the reduction to continue un- til June 30, 1912. This is a result - a scarcity of feed following the longed drouth. The Bavarian govern- ment took a similar action.

TOGO MADE ILL BY AMERICAN HOSPITALITY. Considered It an Act of Discourtesy to Decline an Invitation. Boston, Aug. 18.—Somewhat recover- | ed from the attack of acute indigestion which yesterday shattered his sight- seeing programme in this vicinity, 2 miral Count Togo decided tonight that after formal calls on the mayor and acting governor and a sightseeing tour | he will continue his journey tomorrow to Niagara Falsl Declines Invitation to See Flest. _Deeply regretful to miss an opportu- nity to see the North Atlantic fleet in manoueyres off Provincetown yester day, the Japanese sea fighter with pro- found gratefulness declined the second invitation of the navy department to arrange for a visit to the fleet tomor- row shotild the admiral find it con- venient to postpone his departure an- other day. Sails For Seattle in 11 Days: Tha admiral would have liked to, a> cept but he is booked to sail from Se- attle within eleven days. He will have time only for the trans-continental Jjourney, two days at agara Falls, a day in the Canadian Rockies and a day at Seattle for public receptions. Physicians May Accompany Him. ‘Whether his health will permit him to make the long journey to the coast without another breakdown admittedly is_worrsing some members of the ad- miral's suite and it is considered not at all impossible that Dr. Takami of Brooklyn, Y., the Japanese physician Who examinad the Japanese naval hero today and pronounced him well on the road to recovery, may accompany him on the rest of his journey. Able to Go to Barber Shop, Today the admiral surprised the members of -his suitz when he walkel alone to the elevator and went threc fioors down to the barber shop for a shave. It was the first time he had left his room in two days. Accepted Too Many Invitations. The breakdown of the admiral can be traced directly to his .own modest courtesy toward the American peopie. He has been of the opinion that to re- fuse an invitation to a luncheon or ception was tartamount to discourtes: Scores ‘of invitations have been pour- ing in on him and though Captain Templin M. Potts, U. S. N, and Chand- ler Hale, the third assistant secrétary of state, who are President Taft’s special .appointed pilots for the guest of the nation, have advised modera- tion in festivity, the admiral has at- tempted to be as accessible as pos ble to those who wish to honor him. Bostonians Anxious to See Him. Most depressing to the admiral next to the lost opportunity of seeing the American flaet has been the fact thor thousands of Bostonians have lined the streets around the hotel in the last two days for a glimpse of him and have been disappointed. Through his trip he has endeavored to be tolerant wizh scores of camera men and swarms of newspaper men. At all times has he been anxious to thank the American people for their eption to him but the admiral’s friends predict that un- less he curtails his = activities and spends the rest of the visit on this continent in quietude he will return to Japan a throughly fatigued tourist which with his advanced age may prove very harmful. Well, But Still Tired. “The admiral is well,” said Captain Potts as he came from the admiral's room tonight, “but still looks tired.” BRINDLEY MAKES A NEW WORLD'S RECORD. Soared Higher In Air Than Any Other Aviator, Washington, Aug. 18.—Oscar A. Brindley soared higher from the ground today than aeroplane has ever been and set a new world’s record at 11,726 Teet. Phillip O. Parmelee followed him in the air passing the former American record and reaching 10,837 feet before he was forced to descend. The world’s record at present 10,761 feet, made by M. Loridan at ‘Mourmelon, France, July 8, 1911. Cap- tain Felix rezched a height of 11,152 feet at Etamps, France, August, 1910, but his flisht has not yet been made official.

While Brindley, Howard Gill, Parm- eless ana Beachey were among the clouds, finding safety in their altitude flights. James Ward and Earles Oving- ton, flying at comparatively low lev- els, both had narrow. escapes from death. The propellers of Ward's ma- chine broke into a hundred pieces as he flew before the grandstand, pieces of wood penetrated and tore the can- vas planes but the aviator held tight and brought his machine wobbling to the ground.

In these instances it is difficult to tell who is worst the duper There are few philanthropists who are advertising to help others on in this wopld—who do not expect those who reply to them not only to pay for their advertisements, but also to contribute to their annual income. There is no such thing as getting something for nothing; but there are shrewd people who work upon and profit by the weakness and the afflictions of oth . and they will continue to do it just so long as they can excite curiosity and confidence in what on the face of it is a false pretence, There are millions humbugged out of the people every vear be- cause the people will dicker with unknowns and irresponsibles along lines which could be met by reliable people at home if they could be dealt with successfully anywhere.

Special Prayer for the Churches. The Archbishop of Canterbury has issued a special prayer-for a cessation of the strife which will be used in all the churches tomorrow and Sunday. Where Strike is Most Effective. Broadly speaking, the strike is m offective in the north of England, where many towns are completely iso- lated, and in the south of Wales. It is partially effective in the midlands, but has not caused trouble in the south «f England. On only a few of ths Irish railways have the men gone out. Th situation in Scotland is uncertain. Ed- inburgh reports that a_general strike nas been ordered there, but as Glasgow the men have postponad their decision until Sunday. Less Disorder Than Expected. On the whole, there is much less disorder connected with the strike than had been expacted. What trouble there has been consisted of sporadic con- flicts arising from intimidation of strikebreakers by pickets. attacks on trains and signal boxes, the cutting of wires, etc. Thousands of Miners Idle. Miles of side tracks are filled with idla engines and cars, and thousands cf miners have been thrown out of work Dbecause the collieries cannot get vans into ‘which to load their coal. k Supply Threatened.
