Veto Believed Certain The real fight - Is expected to open when the measure comes back from the president with a veto, which both opponents and supporters declare now seems as sured. ; It is considered doubtful whether enouga strength can be mustered ; to pass over an execu tive rejection. Two j Important amendments i were included ty , the senate the McNary land settlement op tion and the Simmons provision that the interest on the allied for eign debt should be used In pay ment of the compensation. President Has Objections Both of theso are said to be objectionable to the president and for that reason a determined ef fort will be made by 'bonus sup porters to have them stricken out in conference.

Four-year-old Winnie Yates, standing on a mmber pile with a group of older children watching the circus unload, was in the path of the rush of cne angry cow ele phant. Leslie Davis, a circus worker, saw the child's peril, picked her up and tossed her onto a lumber pile out of danger be fore the Inmberlag stampeder ar rived. The elephant herd was unload ing when th? panic started. A baby elephant slipped on a run way leading from a car and fell to the tracks. Caught under the runway, it began a panicky trumpeting to its mother. Its calls and the cow's answering bel low sent terror through the whole herd which charged from the cars and scattered. Keepers of the elephants were prompt in their efforts to round up the truants. They were found on lawns, in garages and in alleys back of business houses. Some of the herd were obstinate and two of the bulls celebrated their new found freedom in a fight. An old cow elephant helped the keepers round up the others. No one was hurt.

This committee will confer with leading spirits within churches and other bodies that now await just such action to cause many of them to form and sponsor Scout troops to the delight of boys who have long been waiting and wish ing for Scout leadership. George W. Hug, W. T. Kirk ana E. S. TilllngbaBt were named as a committee on leadership ana training whose work will 'follow closely the work of troop organ ization. About a dozen of the leading Scout enthusiasts, all active Salem business men, were present, and outlined a program for the imme diate future that portends import ant developments for Scouting. Army Man Drops in. A stranger to most of those present in the person of Captain George H. Paul, who entered the meeting merely to listen, proved to be a most Interested and inter esting individual who seems, even this early, to be a very valuable asset to the local Scouting pro gram. He finishes today 30 years service in the medical department ot the United ' States army, and quietly announced that Salem Is to be his future permanent home. JACKSON, Cal., Aug. 31. The women of Amador county today is sued an appeal for funds to fur nish permanent relief to distressed wives and families of the Argo naut mine disaster. Plans are under way to collect funds in Jackson. The appeal reads as follows: "Money is urgently needed for work ot mercy. The wives of many of the victims have four and five children to care for and in two cases babies are to be born soon. "Money may be sent to the Am ador chapter of the Red Cross at Jackson, which will act as trustee for the families. The money will be received by the sufferers with thanks too deep for words." After four days of ceaseless drilling and (figging to penetrate a wall of earth and rock, hope ot rescuing 47 men entombed almost a mile down in the Argonaut mine. faded further tonight after offi cials here had estimated that res cue crews must burrow through about 500 more feet in order to reach the imprisoned miners. Rescue crews on the '600 and 3900 levels of the adacent Kenne dy shaft continued their grim con test to determine which shall be the first to pierce ttie Argonaut mine. That it will be a matter of days is admitted. Mine officials were considering the offer of a San Francisco drill concern to furnish drilling equip ment with which the company says It would be possible to bore a?hole by tomorrow from the Kennedy mine into the Argonaut, through which air and food could be given to the entombed men if they still live.
