WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—After ao long and bitter debate on @ motion to pass the Wool Tariff Revision bill over Prosident Taft's veto, the House to-day failed to pass whe bill by ti necessary two-thirds vote, the result being $87 to 129. Thie kille the Wool bill, Amid wild scenes, the House lis- tened to @ thunderous assault on the President by Representative James (Dem., of Ky.), and rocked with Demo- cratic applause, a Republican, Rep- resentative Austin of Tennessee alluded to the boom of Speaker Clark for Pree- ident. James bitterly denounced President Taft. “He wif go down tn history,” he shouted, ‘as the Prasident who placed his ponderous corporosity in the path of service to the people; he will go down in history as the one man who placed bis veto against the will of the American people. James denounced the Repubitcan tariff and President Taft's stand. “The people trusted you in 18 when you and your Prealdent promised tariff revision downward,” he said. “The President called Congroas in extraordin- ary session and you passed the Payne Dill, a bold betrayal of the people's in- terests. He signed it. Later he declared that the Wool schedule in that bill was) indefensible. He bad po tariff board when he signed that bill. But now he vetoes @ bill that would cheapen woolen clothing to the shivering poor of this James characterized the veto as a ‘relic of the power of revolutionary authority.” ‘For 100 yeart he said, “the King of England bes been afraid to use the veto power.

Democrats and Republicans rose to thelr fest ahout: ing and pounding thelr desks while Clark bowed repestedly from the Speaker's chair. The Democrats cheered wildly when Representative Lenroot (Republican of Wisconsin), took the floor in defense of the bill, He was the first insurgent to declare for the passage of the meas- ure over the President's veto, He said that no veto should be allowed to stand when the President explained ae Taft did in his message, that he “had no facts before him on which to judge accuracy of these rates. “No President should exercise the power of veto unless he knows the bili vetoed ie wrong, he shouted." Lenroot appealed to the progressives who voted for the Wool bill to stand firm and vote against the President now, He declared he had information that great efforts had been made to align Republicans with the President, and asserted that if progressives failed now the country would believe they were either insincere or feared the dis- pleasure of the Administration ané oon- sequent loss of patron, Late this afiernoon Republican Whip Dwight declared he had canvassed the and that the Lemoc would Interest In the debate became more intense when news spread that Speaker Clark would take the floor to close the} debate.
