WASHINGTON, 1). C., July 6.—
President Wilson this afternoon
vetoed the agricultural appropria-
tion bill because of the amendment
it contained fixing the price of
wheat at $2.40 a bushel. The Pres-
ident's action was based on his
disapproval of any attempt by Con-
gress to take from the Food Ad-
ministration the right to fix prices.

WASHINGTON. I) July 0.--By agree-
ment of both houses of Congress today, the
in In I tn urn bask' prleo of wheat was fixed
at $2.-10 a bushel. The agricultural appro-
priation bill, currying this provision as a
rider, was Kent to1 the President.
1"he agreement brought to an end the
long controversy betweeu the Senate and
House which threatened to block all ef-
forts to pass the agricultural bill. A ma-
jority in the Senate, led by Senators frutu
the agricultural States, had been holding
out foa a minimum price of S'j.oO ami had
refused all overtures from the House to
recede from this position and allow the
Food Administration to proceed without
restriction in the matter of fixing the
prices.
Yesterday, however, the Senate agreed to
allow the House to vote again on the ques

t.his morning by Representative Lever of
South Carolina, chairman of the Agricul-
tural Committee. Mr. Lever opposed the
amendment and told the House that ther>
I* an over abundance of wheat in the j
country. Ik said that If restrictions were j
removed wheat would drop to fl.25 or $1.50
a bushel.
A warm debate followed iu which mem-
bers from the great wheat growing States
aligned themselves against those from the
manut'aeturing communities and from the

LAKE CHARLES, La., July 6.—An
examination of the wrecked airplane
from which Maj. John Purroy Mitchel,
former Mayor of New York, and an
officer in the aviation section of the
Signal Corps, fell to his death at Gerst-
| ner Aviation Field early today, re-
\ vealed that the safety belt yas un-
! fastened at the time of the accident,
j causing Major Mitchel to fall when the
! plane went into a nose dive at a height
i of about 6CX) feet. Major Kirby, com-
| manding officer at the field, declined
j tonight to speculate as to why the belt
| was unfastened.
i It Is u rule, lie said, that all tilers fasten
themselves in the plane with the belt befo e
ascending. The investigation has not been
completed, Major Kirby stated.
Major Mitchel. in excellent spirits, went
out to the field early this morning with
his Instructor, I.leut, John McCuffery, also
of New York. The officers were discussing
polities up until the time the former mayor
took tile nil1. The Instructor remained on
the ground to observe the student's climb-
ing operations. When about (KM) feet up
Major Mitchel fell from his seat and bin
body struck almost at the feet of Lieuten-
ant' McCuffery. The body, which landed
head first and was badly mangled, was left
at the field until tonight, when II was
brought here. The airplane, a single seater
scout machine, went skimming without a
pilot fur half a mile and then fell BOO feet
and was completely demolished.
The body was shipped from here tonight
and is due to arrive in New York ear.y

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6.
Plans for an immediate recess of Con-
gress were upset late tonight when the
House adjourned until Monday without
acting upon a concurrent resolution
adopted by the Senate providing for an
adjournment until August 12, subject
to an earlier call by the President.
Majority Leader Kltchin bad asked for
Immediate consideration of the Senate res-
olution. but after opposition developed he
withdrew his request with the explana-
tion that he believed a majority of the
House would vote against the resolution.
The House adjourned immediately after
wards ami upon receiving notice of its ac-
tion, the Senate also adjourned until Mon-
day.
In spite of President Wilson's request,
emphatically reiterated today, that the
resolution authorizing him to take over
and operate duriug the war telegraph, tele
phone, cable and radio systems, be passed
before the recess, the Senate was ready to
begin its vacation when the House sud-
denly blocked the plans of leaders.
Senate leaders, irate over Mr. Kltdiin's
aetlon. declared late tonight Congress
would be held here indefinitely and that
vacations would not be taken. Arrange
tnents were made for beginning Immediate
consideration in the Senate of the tele-
graph telephone resolution, with extensive
hearings planned to begin not later than
July lo.
The Senate's decision, by • margin or
but one majority vote—27 to 26—to adjo'trn
until August, which the Ilouge aetlou fore-
stalled. was said by leaders to have been-
prompted by belief that wire control legls

in view of vigorous opposition and demand
for thorough investigation.
