TUESDAY, APRIL 24. 1928 REJECTS COOLIDGE PLAN ON FLOOD BILL Votes Down Amendment Which Would Make States Bear Part of Cost Washington, April of the Senate Jones flood control bill held the whip hand in the House to-day and defeated every effort of administration leaders to revise the measure to meet objections raised by President Coolidge. This action came in the face of repeated warnings from the House Republican leadership that unless the revisions were accepted the bill would receive a presidential veto and that the administration group could muster sufficient votes to sustain the president. Amendment Defeated The administration's most severe setback came late in the day with of an have states the defeat by a vote of 142 to rather amendment, to, government bear the cost of levee rights of way along spillways and floodways in Arkansas, Louisiana and Missouri.

In addition the proposal would have required southern Illinois and southeastern Missouri to assume the damages that might occur as a result of the construction of the new Madrid riverbank floodway and place a similar responsibility upon the city of New Orleans in the building of the Bonnet Carre spillway, The proposal, offered by Chairman Madden of the Appropriations Committee, who has been one of leaders in the fight to change the bill to meet the president's views, however, was defeated by a coalition of western Republicans and almost the solid Democratic membership. Madden made a last minute appeal for the House to stand by the President. haven't any doubt that you pass the bill." he continued. "but you cannot pass it over the President's veto. Why do you take chance of losing the whole thing through a veto by not assuming the cost of the levee rights of way and the new Madrid and Bonnet Carre spillway damages.

Representative Nelson, Democrat, Missouri, opposed Madden's position and declared that he "resented the President's mandate to the House and that Congress should do its duty regardless of what the White House has sent to the Capitol." Representative Denison, Republican, "Ilinois, also declared it would be better to kill the bill than accept Madden's amendment. Denison, however, predicted that the President understood the situation, he will not veto" the meas ure. Representative Quin, Democrat, Mississippi, contended that adoption of Madden proposal would "take the heart out of the bill' and would result in no comprehensive flood protection for the Mississippi valley. Prior to the rejection of the Madden amendment, the administration group also lost by a vote of 110 to 37 an amendment sponsored by Representative Frear, Republican, Wisconsin, to eliminate a section providing that no local contributions would be required in carrying out the control program. The House, however, accepted without a vote two amendments favored by the president -the assumption by the states of the cost of levee rights of way on the Mississippi river proper and a provision absolving the federal governfrom all damages in future floods.

Meanwhile, the board of directors of the American Society of Civil Engineers transmitted to the White House A resolution adopted by a unanimous vote supporting the President in his demand that states assume a part of the cost of the flood control work.

Horse-breeding Plan of Bank in Geneseo Rouses Interest Geneseo, April Considerable interest is being shown by other banking institutions in the experiment started last summer by the Livingston County Trust Company, in setting aside a fund for the purpose of financing the horse-breeding industry in the Genesee Valley. Within the last few weeks several banks York city and one in North Carolina' have asked for details of the plan with the avowed intention of recommending it to their correspondent banks for consideration.

The local institution's experience has been satisfactory. The idea was built on suggestions made by Mrs. Herbert Wadsworth of Ashanese, Miss Elizabeth Dangerfleld, a leading authority on the thoroughbred, and the Jockey Club of America. The purchase of a number of brood mares selected by Miss Dangerfleld was financed by the bank. and from time to time these have been disposed of at a profit.

Last week three of these mares were sold to Syracuse breeders who had been trying to get the right type of animals without success in Kentucky, and were pleased with the animals they got here. Of the group purchased last year, only twelve mares are left, and none will be added before next fall. They are pastured on land belonging to the Sterling Salt Company, although it had been planned originally to pasture them on land belonging to the Troop Club. However, as the troop now has eightyseven horses of its own, the troop farm was not able to care for the cavalry mounts and the mares, too. I.
