SUMMERDALE PARK Thursday evening, August 15, tenpiece prehestra, Saturday evening, August 17, Enola band, 14-4t WOOL JUMPS TAFT'S VETO House Repasses Bill by Narrow Margin, Despite President's Objections REPUBLICANS GIVE THEIR HEPL Washington, D.

Aug. a narrow margin of five votes the House yesterday afternoon passed the bill revising the woolen schedule over President Taft's veto. Optimistic friends of the measure believe the Senate will do likewise, but this belief is not widely held. The motion to override the President's veto was carried by 174 to 80, with 10 members who were paired voting present. When Speaker Clark announced that two-thirds ofthe House had voted to pass the bill over the veto there was an angry protest from the Republican side, based on the theory that the ten members voting present 'should be included in the total, in which event the motion would have been defeated by two votes.

But the Speaker met the protest with the ruling that under the Constitution only members voting in the affirmative and negative need be counted, and this ruling prevailed after a motion to appeal from the decision of Chair had been made by Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, and withdrawn when Minority Leader Mann announced that he agreed with the Speaker. Twenty-one Republicans voted with the Democrats to override the veto and many other Republicans showed, their realization of the unpopularity the President's course by absenting themselves. All told, there were sixty of these Republican dodgers. Forty-six Democrats were also absent, but many of these would have been present had their votes been necessary to overturn the veto. The expectation that the veto may be overridden in the Senate is based on the knowledge that regular Republican Senators whose terms will soon expire and who seek re-election are well aware that the blocking of tariff legislation will i be very unpopular in the country.

There were hints about the Capitol yesterday afternoon that enough of the Senators would follow the example of House Republicans absent themselves to permit the Democratic and Progressive Senators to pass the wool bill over the veto, thus insuring its becoming a law without the President's signature. The on the wool bill came as a surprise to the Republican leaders of the House. When they discovered that defection from their ranks was to be expected it was too late to prevent it. Not in the memory of the oldest member of the House has a tariff measure ever been passed over the President's veto by the lower. branch of Congress.

Neither Speaker Clark nor Majority Leader Underwood could recollect such an occurrence. When Speaker Clark announced the vote declared the bill again had been passed, "the President's veto to the contrary notwithstanding," there was a wild outburst of applause from the Democratic side. The tumult was increased by the demand of half a dozen Republicans that the ruling was unconstitutional. When semblance of order was restored Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, insisted that the Constitution provided that a two-thirds vote of the was necessary and that the ten members voting "present" should be counted, for they had recorded their presence in the House. Representative Olmsted, of Pennsylvania, one of the foremost parliamentarians in Congress, supported the contention.
