Report
WASHINGTON". March 4.
Efforts to override Presi
dent Wilson's veto -of the
Fordney emergency tariff
bill failed In tbe house ear
ly tbl morning and the ra.ea- .
sure, originally designed to
aid the farmers 'thereby met
its death. .
The vote on tbe motion to
pass the measure over the
president's veto was 201 for
and 132 against. This was
21 votes less than the nec
essary twn-thtri. Tne veto,
was called up and voted on
without, discussion. There
.was little expectation among
Republicans that they could
round up the two thirds vote
necessary to override the ve
to, and.lt was for this rea
son that some leaders had
urged, Chairman Fordney of
the ways and means commit
tee to let it lie on the table
without action. '
.Washington;; March 3. The
Fordney, emergency tariff bill was
vetoed late today by President
Wilson. ! Action on tbe veto was
expected In the 1 house and possi
bly the senate tonight.
"The situation in which many J
of the farmers find themselves
cannot be remedied by. a measure
of this sort." the president sal a
"There is no short way out of
xistlnr conditions, and measures
of this sort can only have the ef
fect of raising false hopes among
them." j- ; j
' . The president said tbe measure
"has only slight Interest so far as
its prospective revenue yields are
concerned." and declared that the
rates established in the bill "elth
. er equal - or exceed those estab
lished under the Payne-Aldrlch
act. In which the principle of pro
tection reached Its highest water
mark and the enactment of which
followed i by an effective exhibi
tion of protest on the part of the
majority; of American people."
Not Remedial Measure
The president's veto message
on the Fordney tariff bill begins:
"I return herewith without my
approval H. R. 15,276. an act Im
posing temporary duties on cer
tain agricultural products to meet
Itresenfi Emergencies . to provide
revenue and for other purposes."
"The situation in which many
farmers of the country find them
selves cannot be remedied by a
measure of this sort. This is
doubtless generally! understood.
. There Is no short way out of ex
isting conditions and a measure of
this sort' can only have the effect
of deceiving tbe farmers and or
raising false hopes among them.
, Actual relief can only come from
tbe adoption of constructive mea
sure of . broader scope, from the
restoration of peace everywhere
in the world, the resumption of
normal industrial pursuits, the re
covery particularly of Europe, and
.the discaverr there of additional
credit foundations on the basis
of which the, people may arrange
to take from farmers and pro
ducers of this nation a. greater
part of their ' surplus production.

LONDON, March 3. -The 'Ger
man have until Monday to bring
their counter proposals on repa
rations into accord with thi al
lies views.
The British version of Dr. Si
mons' reply to Mr. Lloyd-George
indicated that the would make
an attempt. He was quoted as
saying that the Germans would
examine the premier's speech,
that their intention had been mis
taken and that no occasion would
arise for employment of the mea
sures outlined by the allies.
According1 to the German text
of Dr. Simons speech, however,
he protected against "sanctions
(penalties) without legal founda
tion." This, of course, is based
on the treaty which provides that
penalties cannot be enforced un
til after May 1. but Ignores the
allies contention that the Ger
mans have failed to comply with
the conditions of the treaty.
Dr. Simons is in close consulta
tion with the other members of
his delegation, and tbe Berlin
cabinet. r,
j The belief prevailed thatrfnew
proposals will be made.

. No Parade Today
In accordance .with Mr. Hard
ing's desire, tomorrow's laaurur-
al ceremonies will be far the aim- -
pleat of recent years. Four troops
of cavalry will escort the presi
dent and president-elect to the
capitol. but no parade will be
permitted and there will be little
of the panoply of former Inaugur
als. Just what part President Wil
son will play in the day's program
remained In doubt. Although bis
health makes It difficult for him
to move about, he has prevailed
upon mi family and medical ad
visers to permit him to follow tbe
custom of riding down Pennsyl
vania avenue with his successor.
He hopes to witness the entire
ceremony.
Dr. Cary T. Grayson. White
House physician. Is understood to
have urged that Mr. Wilson's
part be limited to a ride to the
capitol. In this stand, he Is s:a
to hare had the backing of Mrs.
Wilson but not of the president.
The result was that the inaugural
officials prepared several alter
nating plana.
WUsoa To Re-rater Law
With an official announcement
that he "will resume the practice
of law" President Wilson today
cave the first Indication of what
he Intends to do alter leaving tht
White House.
Mr. WHsn will enter a part
nership with Bainbridge Colby oi
New York, retiring secretary cl
state. The firm will establish of
fices la New York and Washing
ton. No Information ot the charac
ter of practice Wilson and Colby
will undertake was given and all
questions were met with the re
ply that the announcement con
tained all there was to be said.
Secretary Colty refused to dis
cuss the subject.
The general assumption fa
Warhlngton is that Mr. Wilson
and Mr. Colby will engage largely
In, the practice of International
law. Some of the president's
friends think that through bis
activities la law practice he may
una some way to continue his
work for world peace.
Mr. Wilson' - start In life wis
In the law. Graduated from the
University of Virginia la IStl.
he opened a small ofMee and
practiced in Atlanta for two year
and then la 1883 practiced la
Baltimore while doing post-graduate
work at John Hopkins uni
versity. That year his writings
first attracted attention and he
wrote his volume on congress ion
ai government. He abandoned
the law soon after and did colleg
iate work until he became gover
nor of New Jersey.
With tbe announcement that
Mr. WUsoa would take up law
and apply to tbe supremo court
for permission to practice, all of
ficial Washington asked "I he
physically able to do it?
Rear Admiral Grayson. Mr. Wil
son pnykieian. said his patient
could, and that he would be able
be would be able to appear In the
supreme court "occasionally".
Thoso who know his present con
dition think his principal activi
ties win Mm counsellor.
