May 22 (AP) - President Coolidge and con gress fired a couple of salvos at each other today in their legisla tive warfare, the president re turning two more vetoed bills to the capitol tonight after the house during the day had voted over whelmingly to override two of his vetoes on other measures. The disabled emergency officers retirement bill favored by the American Legion was one of the measures returned to the senate tonight by the president. The other.-a bill creating a rank of bandmaster in the army, ran the total of vetoes for this session to 11, the largest of number of ve toes In one session in many years. . Opposition Overridden WASHINGTON. May 22 (AP) Refusing to agree with Presi dent Coolidge, the house today passed two bills over his veto. Only once before during the ad ministration has the house de clined to follow Mr. Coolidge's Jaadacshlp. That lone case was the. soldiers bonus measurer r . .The house action in approving the bills In the , face of White House opposition came in each case by an overwneiming voie. One ballot showed a margin of 78 members more than the two thirds necessary to override a veto while the other found 75 more than the required number lining up against the president. . Bills Not Important Both measures were of a minor character. The first one voted on would provide a salary increase for . postal employes' assigned to night work. It was approved by a vote of 319 to 42. The other bill would provide allowances to fourth class postmasters for rent, fuel and light. It was approved by a vote of 319 to 46. Both must be passed again by the sen ate also before becoming law. On ' both ballots some of the stalwarts in republican ranks de serted the president, who was sup ported principally by republicans representing widely scattered dis tricts. - Parties Split The first vote found 39 repub licans and three democrats lined up behind the president, while on the second the party division was 42 republicans and four demo crats. The house action in twice vot ing as quickly as the long roll of 431 names could be called to over ride the president, was believed to have set a precedent. Speaker Long worth said that he could not recall a similar case, adding that (Gaatinaed on ( 4) Preparedness militaristic organization, said one speaker, and the members " do know what, war really means bet ter than many of the pacifists.

The United States demanded that the murderer of Dr. Walter F. Sey mour, who had charge of the Presbyterian mission hosoital at Tsinang, be arrested and executed. The nationalist authorities were charged with neglect in the appre hension and punishment of the sol diers guilty of killing Dr. Seymour on April 6 as General Feng Yu Hsiang s troops passed through Tsinang on their way to Tsinan where they came into conflict with sue troops of Japan. Arrest and punishment were al so requested by the United States for the officers who were charged with not only falling to apprehend and punish the soldiers concerned in the killing of Dr. Sevmour but also with giving "encouragement to such inhuman and uncivilized acts by subsequently permitting ne occupation and looting of the mission building."

Gather ing; Leader of One Faction Put Under Arrest DALLAS. Texas. May 22. (AP) Texas republicans spilt their convention today under impetus of a heated wrangle between fac tions favoring the presidential nomination of Herbert Hoover and those holding out for an unin structed delegation to the nation al convention at Kansas City. Amidst scenes of wildest dis order, marked by the smashing of a plate glass door In the city hall auditorium and the arrest and re lease on $200 bond of C. C. Little ton, chairman of the republican state committee for an unln structed delegation, the followers of Littleton and Harry M. Wurz bach, the Lone Star state's only republican congressman, marched out to hold a convention of their own. They left the Hoover adherents in charge of the municipal audi torium, j Both sides presented speakers at their separate conventions, how ever, to proclaim positive assur-, ance of success when the matter of recognition was put before the national committee at Kansas City. The Hoover supporters, headed by R. B. Creager, of Brownsville, republican national committeeman,! met to name 26 delegates to the! national convention and to in struct them for the secretary of commerce. Those favoring an uninetructed delegation contended that only four delegates at large legitimate ly could be named, because 22 del egates recently were chosen at district conventions. Those demanding an uninstruct- ed delegation forced the reading of a minority report upholding their position, and it was then the trouble started. Littleton was seized by a police man as he entered through the smashed auditorium door. Mr. Littleton was placed in the city hall under charge of defacing public property. He insisted he had not smashed Ihe door, and it was said that someone else had hurled an ink well through it while Littleton stood in the cor ridor barred from the convention. Creager rushed to the platform and roared that the convention was not going to be "taken." The exodus of the delegates de manding an uninetructed delega tion was led by Harry Beck, white leader or a black and tan" group, who shouted for followers to an other convention In objection "to this high handed action."
