The veto went only to the houee, In accordance with custom and there its reception was marked by democratic laughter and Republican appiause. Democratic Leader Underwood, amid a democratic, demonstration, formally thanked the few Republican members who voted With the Democrats to pass the tariff revision bills. Democrats ran across the aisles to ahake hand witn the Republican insurgents. The cheering and pounding of d.sks on the Democratic side was prolonged. As soon as he could be heard Mr.

HUNG IN PLACE OF HONOR IN LOUVRE One of the Greatest of French Painting8, and the Greatest Painting of a Wonian Ever Made, Mysteriously lMsnpears Krom the Lorn-re Offer of for Picture Had Reen Refused. Paris, Aug. 22. The art world was thrown into consternation today by the announcement that Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, "Mona Liso," or as it Is popularly known, "La Jo-eonde" had mysteriously disappeared from the Louvre. The famous painting hung in the place qf honor in the salon Carre, and not a vestige of a clue was left by the person or persons who tooit it to nld the deiectives and police in trying to trace It.

A search of every nook and cranny of the Louvre, from roof to cellar, only brought to light the valuable frame in which the picture hung and the glass that covered it. Those were intact on a back staircase. Some persons believe that a practical Joke has been played but nevertheless the government has set to work Its entire force of detectives in an effort to recover the painting. "Mona Lisa" is one of France's greatest art treasures ranking With the sculptures "Venus de Milo" and "The Victory of Samothraee" and Murillo's painting, "The Immaculate Conception." The painting was not missed until noon today, when visitors to the museum, among whom were hundreds of Americans, were quietly Informed that the gallery was about to be closed for the day and requested to leave. After that time no one was admitted.

M. Caillaux, minister of justice, was immediately appraised of the disappearance of "Mona Lisa" and after a hurried conference with M. Leplne, the prefect of Paris, M. Pe-pine set off tor the Louvre accompanied by M. Mamard, chief of detectives.

Reinforced by the entire staff of detectives they remained until night Industriously searching the Louvre for the missing masterpiece. The most remarkable feature of the case is that the picture appears to have been taken early yesterday without its absence being remarked until noon today. George Benedite, acting curator of the Louvre, is Inclined to believe the removal of the painting the work of a practical juker, pointing out that such a world famous art treasure would be a white elephant in the hands of a thief, as it would he utterly Impossible to dispose of it. At the same time, however, M. Benedite does not altogether abandon the hypothesis of theft.

The first searches having proved fruitless the under secretary of State for tine urts has lodged a charge of theft against a person or persons unknown with the minister of justice, who has appointed a magistrate to Immediately open an investigation. "Mona Lisa" one of the world's famous paintings and Is held priceless. At one time, it had been stated the British government offered I5.OOU.000 for the work which was refused. ft Is the most celebrated portrait of a female in the world. Its most striking characteristic Is the smile.

Da Vinci's model was the wife of Frances cle L. Giocnndo. a Florentine of the fifteenth-sixteenth centuries. When Da Vinci painted her she was about thirty years oul. The subject Is shown seated in a low chair, on the left arm of which she Is leaning.

The gown Is simple. Dark hair, hanging loosely, drapes an oval face with expressive eyes and aeiiiline nose. About the mouth is seen the sweet smile which has been the chief characteristic In making the painting famous. It Is said that Da Vlnrl In order to obtain this effect, had musicians, singers and Jesters near his subject to amuse her as he painted. CONTINUOUS SHOWERS IN CENTRAL tOITON BELT Washington, Aug.

Fort Plain, Aug.

22. Another remarkable- spin through ths air on his aeroplane flight from St. Louis to Xew York brought Harry X. Atwood, from Belle Isle, five miles west of Syracuse to Fort Plain' late this afternoon and landed him 1'5 miles nearer his destination. He is now Lour, miles from hts: starting point and exactly 200 miles from his proposed alighting point in Xew Vork.

His actual Hying time today was two hours and-tn minutes and was made without a stop. Atwood believes he jJosRlbly may make Xew York tomorrow, hut more probably on Thursday, because on ac-1 ount of the rough and wooded country from Albany down the Hudson river he may be compelled to dei" ccend in different places or effect landings on the water.

Atwood. who in nine days has get a new pace for aerial navigation in America, is confident that he soon will have a new wurld's record for distance. He lacks just miles of oating the international record now held in Furope. Running over the last lup of his flight down the Hudson, alter he has turned the corner at Albany, he will surpass the pres-1 nt record at Rhine Cliff. From here Atwood has 68 miles to go to Albany which he is capable of making In one flight without a stop.

The 142 miles from Albany to NVw York will require at least one stop for gasoline. On the ninth day or his flight, Atwood proceeded without a mishap, although he flew most of the wav-in the twilight and all of it in a dense haze. H- flew over 35 towhs and cities, and maintained a schedul equal to a test mail train. Today's mis the latest start he has attempted. Delayed all day by a high wind, he had almost given up starting when at 4.55 p.

the wind calmed and he took advantage or it. He followed the tracks of the Xew York Central railroad, making Oneida at at speed of thirty one miles in 38 mdn. utes. He went over Rome, 44 miles from the at 6.48 p. m.

I'tlca, which he reached In one hour and thirteen minutes, had a demonstration prepared in a hurry. For twenty minutes the din of bells and whistles continued. It was almost dark when Atwood neared Fort Plain. He hovered a while over the town and therf selecting a clear spot on the opp.wite bank of the Mohawk, alighted to the as-onishment of a lurmer, half dnxen dog.i and a barefooted boy with a wheelbarrow.

Columbia, Aug. 22. (Special) SomP 880 initial "doses" of typhoid vaccine have been distributed to physicians throughout the State by the State health department since the distribution was commenced about two weeks ago. The typhoid vaccine Is given, free to physicians applying for it, and it is expected that the good results of this preventive work will soon "Je apparent in South Carolina in a lessening of the number of cases of typhoid fever In the State. This distribution of this vaccine is under the supervision of Dr.

F. A. Coward, who, It will he remembered, has also In charge the State laboratories for the Pasteur treatment of hydrophobia. T-Jie, vaccine Is prepared at the State laboratories at the University of South Carolina, where all the laboratory work of' the health department Is carried on. It consists essentially of dead typhoid bacteria.

The bacilli are grown In the regular incubators, then measured und numbered by technical process, and made Into solutions, which are injected underneath the skin with a hypodermic syringe. Three doses are generallv given. Half a billion of tile dead germs- are Injected into the system for the first dose, then ten days Inter another Injection of a billion Is given, followed by another billion within another ten days. These numbers appear rather large, but the actual amount of the liquid, of course, is very small. Immune for Two Year.

The dead bacilli perform, according to the theory, practically the same office In the body as would the disease Xself. When persons have typhoid fever, say the physicians, certain substances, called "antl-bod-les," are formed In the blood, and as long as these nntl-bndles are present In any large quantity, the person will not again have the disease. The vaccine It is believed creates these antl-bodles In the blood without the disease. Being dead they of course cannot give the patient typhoid fever, but by creating Ihe antl-bodles, they render the patient Immune to typhoid fevor for at leat two yeurs. After two years, the Immunity Is only partial and disappears entirely after eight or ten years.

So far us can be learned, there has been recorded no futalities following the use of the typhoid vac cine, since it came Into use about 15 yenrs ngo. The Injection Is some times followed by some local Irritation, but this passes off In a day or two, It Is proved beyond reasonable doubt that the vaccine has been treat noon lo humanity, especially In aggregations such ns armies where contagious diseases have nn ensv chance to spread. It Is stated that nut of 12,114 4 Soldiers In the American army Vaccinated, there were only five cases nf the with no deaths while In the remainder nf the army there were 41S cases, with .12 death. The rate per thousand among vaccinated was only but was ten times as high among ine nnvacclnnted. it Is probable thnt the use nf the vaccine will Increase among the physblans of the Slate once It has established Itself, and espcelalv as It Is furnished free of chnrge bv the laboratories here.

LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK DISPOSED OF While Reviewing the Work of the Extra Session of Congress Speaker Clark Declares That Democrats Have Marie Splendid Record Absolute Harmony Rules In Party "Stand Palters" Dumfoiinth'd. Washington, 22.

Champ Clark, speaker of the house, of in a review of the work of the first session of the sixty second congress, declared that the Democratic party set a good example for Iicmocrats everywhere, and that the party had redeemed' every it made in the campaign of 110 when the Democrats wrested control of the house from the Republicans. "At this sessdon Democrats have made record which has surprised our friends and dumbfounded our enerri'ies," saiil Speuker Clark. "It has put heart und hope into Democrats everywhere. The extra session was extraordinary not' only in th sense of being a special session called by the president, but also in the i.mount and quality of the work done In the house by the combined Democrats and insurgents, and the combined Democrats and Republican insur-ftnts in the senate, and especially by the unanimity of actum developed by the house Democrats. VI was predicted freely, vociferously, enthusiastically and confidently by the 'stand-pat' press and orators that we would go to pieces.

ui that account and by reason of thai hope they rejoiced that the extra session of congress was called that we might go to pieces at the possible date. Hut we have sorely disappointed them. They even set the date when we would go to pieces, which was the day of the Democratic caucus on Jan. 19, but unfortuujtoly for them in that caucus everything was done unanimously. They surely we would go t.i pieces as noon as we reached the tariff question, but again they were dooniei' to and we tilt', not go to pieces at We are more thoroughly united in the house at the end of the session, If possible, than at the lig'nning.

Vice President Sherman was among them and one of the first to shake bunds.

The president later busied himself wllh the task of signing the eleventh hour measures, approving ail that were presented. The senate spent a restless day. Wiithln thirty five minutes after It had convened it took a recess until two o'clock to await the action of the house on the belated veto of the cotlun bill.
