HOUSE SUSTAiINS T.IFT'S YETOES. Democrats Fail to Muster Required Two-Thirds-Majority Fights to Last Ditch. Washington Aug. 1S.-In a succes sion of dramatic events the Democratic house of representatives today met de feat in its supreme effort to pass the wool and free list bills over the presi dent's vetoes, and virtually fixed upon adjournment of congress early next week. The house on Monday, will agree to the cotton tariff .revision bill as amended in the senate, but will not hold congress in session to await the certain veto on that measure. The senate cleared away all of its busi ness and adjournment is assured in the view of leaders of both parties in both houses, by next Wednesday at the latest. The Democratic house majority, with a great demonstration of enthusiasm, marshalled its ranks for the great bat tle to override the president and .went down with flying colors. The party I * 'leaders failed to muster enough in surgent Republican support to pass the tariff legislation over the presi dent's head. Ready for Adjournment. Tonight the Democratic members of the ways and means committee deter mined to end the long session. Mon day the house will pass the cotton bill as amended in the senate, containing the iron and steel, chemical and cot ton machinery schedules, and the re ciprocal bituminous coal across the Canadian border provision and will send it to the president Tuesday. Con gress will not be held in session to await his veto which the house lead ers concede is certain to follow. "Congress will adjourn on Wednes day, at the latest," was the declaration of Majority Leader Underwood, after the ways and means committee confer ence. "We have tried to put our tariff bills over the president's head and I have, failed twice. There is no use fighting it out any longer. As soon as we pass the cotton bill and amend ments we will be ready to go. The president may then veto the measure. We will not be here to discuss it." Into Next Week. Strenuous' efforts were made by sen ate Democratic and Republican lead ers, in conference with Mr. Under wood, Speaker Clark and other house Democrats, to bring the session to a - lose tomorrow night but owing to a, desire of the members of the ways, and means' committee to study features of '' the senate'iron aind steel and chemical schedules before concurring in them, it was agreed to dispose of the final1 business early next week. Failure of the attempt of the Demo-. eratic house to override the vetoes came in a day filled with-stirring inci Ndents. The close of the debate, on the motion of Mr. Underwood to pass the wool bill over the veto, foundChm *Clark, the speaker of the house and an aspirant for the presidency, plead ing the cause of his fellow Democrats from the floor, surroundea by a throng c f his colleagues, who cheered vigor - ously.. The galleries were filled to overflowing and the speaker, as he concluded, was given a demonstration that for several minutes delayed the roll call. oo~i and Free List Votes. * n the motion to pass the measure over the wool veto, there were 227 af firmative votes, 22 of them insurgent Republicans and one independent -Re :publican, while the negative votes; were 129. The motion to override: the veto on the free list failed of a *two-thirds. majority also, being 226 to *127. ,During the three hours of debate on! the wool bill, the corridors of the Cap-1 itol reverberated time and again with 'shouts of approval and derision from the floor. - Spirited discussion between mlembers was frequent. Republican Leader Mann and Rep resentative Clayton, of Alabama, had:. a wordy encounter, which for a mo ment had a threatening aspect. The * incident was precipitated when the * minority leader objected to the Ala bama member's request to have the newspaper . editorial printed in the Congressional R:ecord.. That the administration was keenly watching developments was evidenced in the presence' on the floor of the house of Messrs. Wickersham ,Hitch eock, Nagel and Stimson, of the presi * dent's cabinet. All of them kept a close tally on the roll call until it was apparent that the Democrats could not rally the necessary t'7o-thirds major ity. Ovation for Speaker. - Speaker Clark was given an ovation from both sides of the house when he left the chair and took the floor to' end the discussion. The climax of his address was reached when he said: "The president has a right to veto' this bill, if he wants to. I am not qarrelling with him. I am lament ing his lack of wisdom as his personal friend. He has raised an issue that will rage with unabated fury until the close of the polls in November, 1912." This was the signal for such an out burst as seldom has been known in the halls of congress. Again and again, as he proceeded, the Demo crats applauded, cheered and pounded the desks until Democratic Loader Un derwood, who occupied the chair for the first time this session, almost de spaired of maintaining order. SAVED BY BOY'S HEROIS. Fariter Almost Fatally Overcome by Well Gas. Edgefield, Aug. 1S.-Some days ago Mr. J. S. Williams, a prominent plan ter of the Ropers section of the coun ty, made a blast in a well that he was .digging. Later he descended into the well to remove the rock that had been torn up by the dynamite. After 1 or two buck6ts had been drawn out, those who were operating the wind lass heard heavy breathing and it was soon discovered that Mr. Williams-had succumbed to a noxious gas and was in an almost unconscious condition. To rescue him became at once the ques tion, and naturally there was hesita tion as to who would take the risk. Finally, a negro boy volunteered his services, and he was lowered to the bottom and placed a rope around the body of the then almost prostrated victim and he was drawn out, and medical attention was procured and Mr. Williams was restored to con sciousness and is now on the ro d to recovery. But for the prompt and heroic ac tion of the negro boy there is little doubt but that Mr. Williams would have lost his life. The boy fainted as soon as he was drawn from the well, but soon recovered. It was a brave act and the boy deserves even more than commendation. ROMANCE OF MEXICAN WAR RESULTS IN MAERIAGE Miss Spencer Won' Converse's Heart While He Was Prisoner. San Francisco, Aug. 17.-A romance >f the Mexican revol'ution culminated there last night, when Miss Amelia Spencer, of El Paso, was married .to Lawrence Converse, of Glendora, C..l, after an elopement by automobile from anta Monica, where Miss Spencer was visiting relatives.
