Washington, ~ Jume 23.—President Wilson today the sundry eivil appropriation bill, with a statement declaring that he would have vetoed if he could the provision in it exempt- ing labor uffons and farmers’ organ- jzations from prosecutions under a certain $300,000 fund designated for the o on of the Sherman anti- trust law. The presi@ent characterized the ex- emption as “unjustifiable in character and principle” but called attention to the fact that the department of justice possessed no other funds with which to enforce the anti-trust law. The urgent need, of various government departments for funds appropriated by the bill influenced the president to speedy action on the measure. The bill carries. $116,000,000 in appropria- tions and was vetoed by Mr. Taft on March 4 because of the labor exemp- tion clauss, When the bill was re-in- troduceqd and passed by both houses in {@entical form by the present con- gress, this provision was the subject of sharp debate.

Charge of Judge Was Unfavorable to “ the Pugilist. Calgary, Alberta, June 23—Arthur Pelkey, .the pugllist, tonight was ac- quitted of a manslaughter charge which was placed against him as a result of the death of Luther McCar- thy, who died in the first round of a scheduled ten round bout at the Burns arena here May 24 last. It was charged by the government that McCarty died from a blow administered by Pelkey. The jury was out only 45 minutes before returning the verdict, although Chief Justice Harvey's charge ' was said to be unfavorable to the defend- ant. In his charge to the jury Mr. Harvey admitted that there was some doubt as to whether tHe contest was illegal, but he sald there was no doubt that death had been caused by & blow and the jury should consider only whether the ‘defendant was gullty of causing the death of his opponent in an effort to win the prize placed upon the con- test. Pelkey was jubilant when he learned of the verdiet and declared it was ex- actly what he expected. The verdict was to the effect that the contest was a prize fight, but that Pelkey was not guilty of manslaughter inasmuch as the blow he struck was not intended to catise fatal results. A demonstration followed the announce- ment of the verdict and friends of the accused crowded around him to extend congratulations. The contest which resulted in the manslaughter charge was a scheduled ten_round affair and terminated when it had been in progress less than two minutes. McCarty fell to the floor af- ter a @uick exchange of blows. Pelkey followers in the stands cheered voci- Terously, Dbelleving a knockout blow had been administered. Deathlike still- ness, however, followed ~when the pugilist ‘failed’ fo show signs of life. Doctors soon pronounced him dead. Orders were issued by the crown for the arrest of all those connected With the promotion of the fight. Pel- key, Tommy Burns, promoter of the contest, Referee Ed Smith and Wil- Hlam McCarney, McCarty’s manager, ‘were taken into custody, the latter tWo being held only as witnesses. Startling developments followed in rapid succession after the principals of the affair had been released on bonds. The. coroner’s jury, which the crown charged was composed of friends of Burns, held an inquest and returned a verdict exomerating Pelkey and _the others from all blame. The verdict was set aside by the crown. Burns’ arena was burned down the night of the fatal contest and four persons nar- rowly escaped death. The origin of the fire has never been ascertained. The trial, which was begun June 19, lasted only four days. The trial of Tommy Burns will be held here in October. ANOTHER AUTOMOSBILE ACCIDENT AT WINDSOR. Two Machines Crash But Occupants Escape Serious Injury. Windsor, Conn., June 23—This town was the scene of amother automobile accident tonight, but its results were not as serious as that of vesterday, when one man was killed. Tonight's accident was a collision between a car owned and driven by Peter N. Leone of Hartford and-a‘machine belonging to A. A. Drumm of Windsor and op- erated by him. No one was injured but both cars were badly damaged. Leont with his wife and a young daughter in the car, was driving along Palisado avenue, coming opposite Bis- sell's Ferry lane as Drumm was turn- ing into his yard there. The Leone car struck the front of the Drumm ma- chine putting it out of commission and then glancing off, ran into a _tele- phone pole. The front of the Leone car was crashed in by its contact with the Drumm car and the pole. The oc- cupants were shaken up but not hurt. The hearing of the case of Joseph Wilinski of Hartford, driver of the car which was wrecked here vesterday and as a result of which Frank Kow- alski of Hartford was killed, came up for hearing tonight but was continued until tomorrow evening.

MATTER OF PATRONAGE An_ Implied Threat to Withhold It Until Cuirrency Bill Is Passed, De- clares the Republican Leader. Washington June 23.—A fixea de termination to have currency legis- lation passed at this session of con- gress was accepted by members of the house and senate as President Wil- son's text for the currency message which he personally presented today to congress, assembled in joint ses- sion in the House chamber. Both dem- ocrats and- republicans saw in the carefully worded appeal of the pres- ident an earnest conviction that the monetary situation must be dealt with before congress adjourns and prepar- ations were made to begin committee work on the administration Dbill which will_soon be introduced in the house by Representative Carter Glass and in the senate by Senator Owen. Second Defiance of Custom. The occasion was the president’s second deflance of the custom of one hundred years which sent presidents’ messages, long, dull documents, to be droned to weary congressmen by a hoarse-voiced clerk, and the affair moveq smoothly. The senate and house gathered In the house chamber, where the galleries had already been crowded and members chatted while they awalted the president's coming. The cabinet officers, except Secretary of State Bryan and Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who, with thelr wives occupled gallery seats, had places on the floor of the house. Less Nervous Than Before. A joint committee led by Majority Leader Underwood and Senator Kern met the president and escorted him to | the clerk’s desk on the rostrum. Mr. Wilson apparently was less mervous than when he first faced the big a semblage of legislators to deliver h tariff address. As he spoke, the gath- | ering sat in aftentive silence, mark- ing carefully the points which the president’s _diction and intonation forced on their attention. Will Result in Immediate Activity. At both house and senate ends of the capitol, and among hoth democrats ang republicans tonight the conviction was deeply fixed that the president’s “solemn and earnest insistence” on currency lesislation would result in fmmediate activity In the legislative | ‘branch. The bill will g0 into both houses this week. Threat to Withhold Patronage. The first authoritative statement on the president's message was critical and came from Republican Leader Mann of the house. He said the mes- sage was a “fine example of classical English; but there is nothing more to it unless it be considered as a threat that patronage will be withheld until a banking and ourrency bill Is passed.” Representative Mann criticized the administration bill ag “stolen from the Aldrich monetary report, with a few radical provisions taken from® the Bryan platform mixed in.” Bill to Be Introduced Thursday. On the senate side many republicans were of the opinfon that the presi- dent's message was a flat decleration that congress must act at once on the currency question, As soon as the bill is introduced in both senate and house banking and currency committees will get down to work and early reports on both sides are expected. Senator Owen expecfs to put the bill in Thursday. (The text of the message is printed on page 6.) AVIATOR DROWNED IN NEW YORK LAKE Machine Falls Upside Down Into Wa- tor—Body Not Recovered.

One Year Rule for Engineers PROVING UNSATISFACTORY AND MAY BE CHANGED, TESTIMONY OF BARDO General Manager of New Haven Road at Coroner’s Inquest Considered , Doherty Good Engineer. Bridgeport, Conn., Junme 23.—Attor- ney J. F. Befry of the New York, New Haven and Hartforq railroad today put the air brakes on” Coroner Phe- lan’s inquest into the recent Stamford wreck, as the latter expressed it, when an effort was made by the coroner to ascertain the exact duties, powers and Tesponsibilities of various high offi- cials of the road.' C:. N. Woodward, general superintendent of the road, was on the stand at the time, and he declined, upon constitutional grounds, to answer questions as to his duties, pleading that he was already under indictment on a mansiaughter charge as the result of the Westport wreck. Railroad Attorney Objects. Attorney Berry also “temporarily objected” to other officials from giving similar testimony. The coroner said he had hoped to make the inquiry as broad as possible, in order to deter- mine just who was responsible for the accident, but ag the road had “put the air brakes on,” he would have to adjourn until next Friday afternoon. Railroad Officials Questioned. The coroner examineq General Man- ager C. L. Bardo, General Superin- tendent C. N. Woodward, J. A. Droege, superintendent of the Shore Line di- vision, and Charles H. Joy, general air brake inspector, in an endeavorto find out their exaci duties, and to whom they were responsible. It was devel- oped from the testimony that for some of the high officials of the road, there are no specific rules laid down, but of- ficlals perform their dutles “according to general practice.” Mr. Bardo, for instance, said he did not know of anything he could not do, under the term of “general manager.” The cor- oner asked him how he knew whether or not he was intruding in someone else's territory and Mr. Bardo said, “Well, if 1 did, I would very soon hear of it.” The coroner indicated that he might call some of the vice presidents in an endeavor to find out how duties for executive heads are_ determined. One Year Ruls for Engineers. Mr. Bardo while declining upon the advice of counsel to answer. questions as to duties and responsibilities, gave interesting testimony as to the agree- ment between the road and engineers. ¢ declared that the road was not sat. Esfibd with the long standing rule, plac- ing no limitation upon an engineer's experience, before he was assigned to fast trains. A two yvear rule was put into effect. but the engineers’ union objected, with the result that a com- promise’ was effected, requiring one Year's experience. . Not Satisfied with Rule. Coroner Phelan asked, “Did you think that this was for the protection of the ublic? Who made the compromise?” Tr. Bardo said, in reply, that at the time the rule was put into-effect, he did not care to disturb the peace of mind of the engineers, and he was satisfied to gain the concession that h‘e had. It was a step in the right _direction. The company is not sat- isfled with the one year rule now, and when the coroner asked him if the road was going to change it, Mr. Bardo said, “T think so.” Doherty Considered Good Engineer. The two year rule would be of the greatest benefit to young engineers, Mr, Bardo said, for it would give them more experience. Engineer Doherty of the colliding engine in the wreck, was considered a good engineer, said Mr. Bardo, but he displayed bad judgment at a cruclal point. More experience would have preventeq the collision. ‘When asked whether or not an au- tomatic train stop would have pre- vented the wreck. Mr. Bardo sald i " The “alleged automatic stops” are supposed to be placed at the dis- tant signal, he declared, while all the evidence shows that Doherty ran by two signals with his brakes on. The automatic stop would heve failed to do just what it claimed to do, he added. He sald he would rather take hances with the human element rath._ fer than any mechanical device that has | so far been perfected. The Report of Experts.

Officials tonight declar- ed that the question of summary action in Herrington's case probably would be taken up by the attorney-general. Looking for McNeb's Successor. The department of justice was in ig- norance of the special agent’s protest until the publication in the afternoon papers. It was then cailed to the at- tention of the attorney general.
