Mn.o VETO OF PRESIDEN'T SUSTAINED IN HIOUSE Effort of loepublicnit Party to Over ride Rejection of Section of BIll lIe. silt in Failure in Spito of Help Fromt Few Denocrats. 'Waslihington, May 14. - President Wilson's veto of the legislative appro priation bill as containing an Infringe ment on executive authority was sus tained in the house today against tle efforts of the Republican majority to override it. Though aided by a handful of Democrat,s tle Reiublicans failed by 28 votes to obtain the necessary two third,, majority to repass the bill ov er the president's disapproval. The measure then went back to the almo priations committee for elemination of the sections objecte dto and will be re turned to the house on Monday for passage in its modified form. The Republicans rolled up 170 votes to overcome the veto, but the D1emo crats cast 127 votes to sustain the president. The vote carries with it a denial of opportunity for the senate to attempt offsetting the veto, for tle redrafted measure will leave the house without the provision relating to powers of the joint committee on printing at which the veto was aimed. AWhile tle house was considering the question, Senator Smoot of Utah. author of the provision and chairman of the joint committee, told the sen ate that the president had been mis informed as to the effect of the pro vision -which would have given the committee control of all government publications. Roger Babson, formerly connected with the committee on pub lie information, and others attacking the joint committee were accused by Mr. Smott of having misled the presi dlent. Chairman Good of the appropria tions committee declared that 15'5 pub lications would be compelled to ceast next June 30 and the blame, he as serted, would rest entirely -with, th< president. Representative Byrne, IIem. ocrat, of Tennessee, replied that tht blame would be with congress foi failing to authorize the continuanc< of tle )ulications. Representative lDisson of Miksissip pi was the only Democrat to urge thd the veto he voted dowi. He contend ed that congress had not exceeded it: authority in adopting the provisioi because of its constitutional power t< limit expenditures. In the vote, how ever Representatives Gallivan an: Olney, both of Massachusetts; Evan: of Nevada and 'Lea of California, join ed the Re'publicans as did Represen tative Randall of California, prolhi bitionist, and Representative Kellei Independent, of Minnesota.
