Sundry Civil Bill Signed
by President Wilson.
Washington, June 23—President
Wilson today signed the sundry civil
appropriation bill with a statement
declaring that he would have vetoed,
if he'could, the provision in it exempt-
ing labor unions and farmers' organ-
izations from prosecution under a
certain $300,000 fund designated for
operation of the Sherman anti-trust
law.
The president characterized the ex
emption as "unjustifiable in charac-
ter and principle," but called atten-
tion to the fact that the department of
Justice possessed other funds with
which to enforce the anti-trust law.

Smith, of this cijy, in honor of Mr
Winfield S. Bunton and his bride
who had just arrived in Gonzales

senting a handsome cut glass'salad
bowl, with sugar bowl and cream
pitcher to match.

ent of the Gonzales Cotton Oil and
Mfg. Co., was painfully injured

Washington, June 23.—Ray M.
Stewart, 18, tried to shoot up the
criminal court here today when Jus-
tice Stafford refused to release him
on probation after conviction for
attempted highway robbery.
Before officers could overpower
him, Stewart whipped out/a pistol^
and put three bullets perilously near
Justice Stafford and AssistantUnited
States Attorneys Given and Hawkins.
He was jailed to answer a more seri-
ous charge.
Justice Stafford had just refused a
petition to place Stewart on proba-
tion when the prisoner drew the re-
volver. Facing toward Hawkins and
Given, he began shooting rapidly.
One of the bullets narrowly missed
Hawkin's head. Stewart then turn-
ing toward Justice Stafford as if to
shoot when several policemen leaped
upon him. The courtroom was
thrown into an uproar and many
dived for cover.
Hawkins had prosecuted Stewart
but Given had not appeared against
him. Evidence had been brought
in to show that he should not be
placed,on probation and announce-
ment of Justice Stafford's decision
enraged him. It is not known how he
got the revolver.
Stewart attempted to rob the wife
of a policeman, who was so frighten-
ed by Stewart's appearance in her
room that she is an inmate of the
Government hospital for .the insane.

John Lovel, son of a farmer living
in the Harwood section, was arrested
and jailed Monday on a serious
charge. It is claimed that the young
~ man whoIs about twenty years of
age appeared at the Farmers Nation-
al Bankin this city Monday morning
and presented a check for $95.00,' the
*+ check purporting to have signed the
name of H. E. Adams, of this city.
Cashier Douglass at once suspected
something amiss, and when he offer-
ed to send one of the bank employees
around to interview Mr. Adams with
reference to the validity of the sig-
nature, the young man turned and
left the bank. Officers were notified,
but Mr. Douglass, succeeded in locat-
ing the young man near the new Fus-
sell warehouse. An arrest by Con-
stable Davis followed.
Washington, June 23.—Bearing a
personal plea for immediate action
by Congress to revise the banking
and currency laws that business may
be aided in meeting tariff revision,
President Wilson for the second tiftie
went to the House of Representatives
today and personally read his ad-
dress on the subject to both houses of
Congress assembled in joint session.
Although shorn of some of the nov-
elty that attended his first appearance
when he upset Presidential traditions
of more than a century, today's visit
of the President to Congress took on
a deeper significants. On his first visit
he delivered a message, long antici
pated, urging the carrying out of the
party's pledges for immediate revi-
sion of the tariff.
His address today was an appeal
to every member of the House and
Senate to lay aside personal consid-
eration and sacrifice comfort, and
even health, if necessary, to secure
at once a revision and reform of the
Nation's banking system. Only in
that way, he declared, could the
country secure the benefit ot the tar-
iff revision soon to be completed.

Vienna, Austria, June 21—An in-
terpellation was addressed to the
Austrian government in parliament
today asking for information about
health condition in Scutari. The
introducer asserted that half mumi-
fied corpses of Turkish soldiers were
still lying unburied in the vicinity of
the fortress and asked the govern
ment to take steps to compel "the
negligent commander of Scutari to
fulfill the duties demanded of him by
considerations of civilization and
humanity." The attack was aimed
at Vice Admiral Cecil Burney of the
British navy, senior officer of the
international force occupying Scuta

BATTLE CRUISERS LOSING FAVOR
Our navy may have been well ad-
vised in not building battle cruisers.
Those remarkable vessels have iti the
last ten years become one of the most
conspicuous features'of the British
fleet, and have been adopted by the
navies of Germany and Japan. In
each of those three countries one of
those vessels has just been built, of the
most advanced type. But in all three
the opinion is expressed that there
will be few, if any, more of them. On
their face thesfe ships seem to be pe-
culiarly formidable. The Queen
Mary, which is now undergoing her
trials in England, has a tonnage of
29,000, horsepower of 75,()00, speed of
28 knots or more, and armament of
eight 13.5 and sixteen 4-inch guns.
The Seydlitz, in Germany, is of 24,-
000 tons, 80,000 horsepower, and
probably 29 knot, and carries ten 12-
inch guns. The Japanese Kongo is
most note-worthy of all, for. while it
is-of 27,500 . tons and only 64,000
horsepower, it makes between 28 and
29 knots and it carries eight 14-inch
guns.
Precisely why these vessels are de-
clining in favor, so that it seems
probable that no more of them wi 11
be built in England does not appear.
But if they are to be abandoned, we
may be glad that the United States
did not begin building them. Shipt
at many millions each are costly ex-
periments, particularly if in the end
they proveunsatisfactory—New Y ork
