CONGRESS BOILS OVER BONUS VETO WASHINGTON, May 16.—Congress boiled and fumed today over President Coolidge's veto of the soldiers' bonus insurance bill. No other issue that has arisen between the executive and legislative branches of the government has provoked so much angry comment at the capitol as the sharp and pointed communication of the president's. What caused the fuming and frotting today was the president's scathing attack of the bonus from the standpoint of patriotism and morality. "We must either abandon our theory of patriotism or abandon this bill," said the president. "We owe no bonus to the able-bodied soldiers of the world war. Their first duty was to their country. There is no moral justification for it." Legislators in both houses who have labored unceasingly for adjusted compensation denounced the president's message "as an insult to ex-service men" and declared he bill would be put thru with a whoop over Mr. Coolidge's disapproval. The house will act tomorrow and its readoption there is a foregone conclusion. Every test vote on the bonus in the house has shown a majority of approximately 6 to 1 in favor of the bonus and administration leaders readily conceded today there was no chance of a presidential victory in the lower house. In the senate which probably will act on Monday or Tuesday, the lines are more closely drawn. Bonus advocates claimed today to have a margin of four or five votes above the necessary two thirds to repass the bill over the White House rejection. This claim, however, was privately disputed by the president's friends. They predicted the bonus would be beaten in the senate as was the Burnum pension bill a few days ago, possibly by a margin so narrow as one vote. To unprejudiced observers it appeared the vote will be extremely close, with chances pointing to IMMIGRATION BILL UP TO COOLIDGE WASHINGTON, May 16.—The new immigration bill, excluding all Japanese from the United States after July 1, went down the avenue to the White House today for President Coolidge's approval or veto. The exclusion clause was adopted by overwhelming majorities in both house and Senate against the repeated protests of the president and secretary of state. The fact that Secretary Hughes was said to have made the Japanese ban a question of confidence led to reports the president contemplated vetting the entire measure. In addition to barring other Orientals, as well as Japanese, the bill slashes all immigration quotas to two per cent of the 1890 census. A number of minor exemptions were allowed at the last minute under which the wives and children of aliens who have taken steps to become citizens will be admitted "outside the quotas." Exemptions also were granted to professors and ministers. Advocates of the Japanese exclusion clause declared today they expected the president to sign the measure with a public statement to the world that no slight was intended the Far Eastern empire. This method, it was said, would appease the "wounded pride" of the Japanese people. In event the president should exercise his veto power, the exclusionists boasted they would renact the bill over his disapproval. They pointed to the 308 and 58 majority in the house and the 69 to 9 vote in the senate as proof that they controlled sufficient following to override a presidential veto. The bill will become effective July 1, displacing the existing three per cent quota law. INDICT "HAWK" ON ROBBERY CHARGE NEW YORK, May 16.—Harry Bonus advocates claimed today to have a margin of four or five votes above the necessary two thirds to repass the bill over the White House rejection. This claim, however, was privately disputed by the president's friends. They predicted the bonus would be beaten in the senate as was the Burnum pension bill a few days ago, possibly by a margin so narrow as one vote. To unprejudiced observers it appeared the vote will be extremely close, with chances pointing to a bonus victory. The lines are so closely drawn, however, that a couple of senators absent themselves from the chamber at voting time might swing the result either way. VESUVIUS ERUPTS ROME, May 16.—The continuous eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius was intensified during the night, causing considerable excitement among the residents on the slope of the mountain. A coating of red dust settled over the countryside. The fashion of "fanning" a gun, came into being because of a man who had had his trigger finger that off. INDICT “HAWK” ON ROBBERY CHARGE NEW YORK, May 16.—Harry Lesser, "Hawk of Broadway," and his wife and alleged "lure" in his profession of beating and robbing he-jewelled women, were indicted today by the grand jury for slugging and robbing Mrs. Howard Johnson, wife of the noted musical composer, of $5,500 worth of jewels. The charge was first degree robbery. Lesser, a "graduate" of seven penal institutions, is already under another indictment as one of three men who entered the apartment of Mrs. Mildred P. Monroe, an actress a month ago, and robbed her of $250 while in search of $25,000 worth of jewelry.
