Washington, Aug. 14.-r.y tb nar row margin ol' five votes, tin- hous-e late yesterday passed I lie wool tariff revision bill over President Tal't's veto. The veto, 1 74 to Srt, was made possible only by t lie defection of twenty-one '-republicans who voted with the democrats. The an nouncement of democratic success created a wild scene In tlie house and amid great confusion the re publican leaders protested that Speaker Clark must count as vo;ing ten members who answered "pres ent" to their names, a ruling which would have defeated the democratic program overcoming the five-vote margin and making Impossible the recording hf the necessary two thirds vote of the house. This the speaker declined lo do. While democratic and progressive leaders of the senate do not believe the wool bill can be passed In that body over the president's veto; they will continue the demand for action on tho cotton tariff measure. The vote on the wool bill came as a surprise to the republican lead ers of the house. When they dis covered that defection from their ranks was to be expected it was too late to prevent, it. As a result the following republicans went over to the democratic camp and with their votes made victory possible for the majority. Representative Aklns, New York; Anderson, Davis, Llndbcrg, Steener son and Stevens, Minnesota: An thony, Rees and Young, Kansas; Cooper and Morse, Wisconsin; Haugcn and Woods, Iowa; Holgeson North Dakota; Kent, California' Lafferty, Oregon; LaFolletto and Warburton, Washington; Norrls and Sloan, Nebraska. i Not tn the memory of the oldest member of the house has a tariff measure ever been passed over the president's veto by the lower branch of congress. Neither Speaker Clark nor Majority Leader Uuderwood could recollect such an occurance. lQontlPueJ on Page five.). Mrs. Madeline Force Astor Mother of Son-Name John Jacob New York, Aug. 14.
