By Thi Ad?anc?) Washington, May 14.?President Coolidge's first important victory in the exercise of his veto power; namely, the failure of Congress to muster a two-thirds vote to over-ride his disapproval of the Bursum pension bill, means a renewed effort on the part of the White House to make economy in Government expendi ture the basis of its attack all along the line.

SHAD SEASON HAS COME TO A CLOSE Half Million Dollars |{epro tented in Movement of Shad Through Klizulx-th 1 -ity During This Spring. A half million dollars, as nearlv as may be computed, is represented in the movement of shad throughj Elizabeth City this season which closes Thursday. Shipments have] been very small in recent weeks and the first of the seasou was below normal, but taken as a whole the catch is regarded as fairly good while not by any means a banner year. It Is estimated by R. E. I Hack, agent of the Wauchese Line, that 30.000 boxes were shipped through this point during the season. He expects the total for the year to bv slightly lower than it was last. The number of boxes shipped for the last two years was greater than the two previous years. A feature of the season was the resumption of freight shipping. Ac cording to Mr. Black this is the first year the fish have been handled by freight since the days of United States railroad administration. He says the service during March and April was good, and as the fish were received in good order and at lower rates more money was realized for shippers and fishermen. Mr. Black believes that there will be no more banner shad years for the next 20 years unless the limit on shad fishing is placed at April 20, or at the latest May 1. "If this were done for three years then the catches for the following five years would be the best we have ever had," he says. Small quantities of trout and blues are being received by the Globe Flsn Company now and there will ho small shipments all summer until the fall trout season opens up the next busy period.

Poincare Defeat New Step Toward Settlement Europe Does Not Moan Abandonment of Kulir Without Compensa tion Bui Will Make for More Confidence in Bri tain in Good Faith of France fly FRANK H. BIMOND8 Copyright, H>2I by McCI ur? Ncwhpnpcr Hyn?1lrj?fn Washington, May 15.?The complete defeat of the Poincare Ministry is unmistakably a new pean settlement. Uijfhtly or wi tion in Britain and in Germany ably in this country, of ndvocat and not the adjustment of Kuri As a consequence it is Koing to be far easier for Ilerriot, Painleve or Briand, one of whom will almost certainly succeed him, to deal with the British and the Germans. If would be a mistake to nee In lho defeat of Polncare a repudiation of his actions and aboveAall a repu diation of the Ruhr occupation. The truth la that Jioth Herrfot and Mriand publicly endorsed It. What la a fairer JudKmont Is that the French people decided that for the liquidation ??f the exIstlriK situation j F'rancc would be better ?erv?'d by I some more facile and less rigid re presentative. You might perhaps Hay that ail Frenchmen agree that Clemencenu won the war, but that he did badly for France in the Peace Conference. In the safne way most Frenchmen agr?>e with Polncare's occupation of the Ruhr but feel he It not the man for liqui dation of the altuatlon. K Labor Government In Britain can obviously deal far more success fully with a radical than a National ist governmsnt In Frsuce. More step in the direction of a Euro ?onKly Poincarc had the reputa ?and for that matter mcasure inu the destruction of Germany ipean problems. truHteil In Great ISrltaln n? Lloyil don.

"Vote for Aydlelt Tor Congress." t That is the message of Elizabeth' City to the visitor within her gate:t as portrayed on two banners Hunt; across Main street, one at the Savings Dank I)uildlng corner, Main < and Poindexter streets, and the other at the Southern Hotel corner, Main | and Koad streets. I These banners have been pre pared and put In the place which they occupy today by friends of Mr. | Aydlett in his home town who are actively supporting his candidacy. If the proportion of the business men ' of the town who have endorsed Mr.1 Aydlett's candidacy is any Index of the sentiment of the people at large j those banners represent the senti-; ment of about 90 per cent of tho voters of Elizabeth City. Something j like 90 per rent of the business men of Elizabeth City have not only en dorsed Mr. Aydlett's candidacy but have at their own expense published In both local newspapers big display advertisements setting forth reasons why Mr. Aydlett should ho given the nomination. K. F. Aydlett is a lighter and has made his enemies in the aggressive life that he has lived here ever since coming to Elizabeth City in his early manhood. But few men who have led so aggressive a life can command the following that does he or have so large a number of friends who have the utmost confidence In them. ? An effort has been made to create. I tho impression outside his home I town that so great is the opposition to him here that Mr. Aydlett could not even command the support of the County Democratic Convention in his home County. The truth of the matter Is that Aydlett could have got tho endorsement of that conven tion if he had sought It. Almost ev ery last mnn of those attending the convention had signed endorse ments of his candidacy and 11 his name had been proposed the proba bilities are that not a vote woul.l have been cast against endorsement of hip candidacy for Congress. H" was elected one of the delegates from Pasquotank to the State Con vention at Raleigh. No candidate of the four In the rare for Congress in this district is stronger In his own county than S. S. Mann of Hyde, an-1 yet Mr. Mann was not endorsed for Congress by the Hyde County Dem ocratic Convention. Neither was Dr. firifTin of Edenton endorsed by the |convention of his own county of Cho wan. In fact. Lindsay Warren Is the only Congressional candidate In this district whose friends thought It 1 worth while to obtain for him the j endorsement of his county conven jtlon. In some counties it was thought better not to befcln the mat ter of the endorsement of certain candidates as It might bo embarass ing to say Just where to stop. In others, as In Pasquotank the dele gates. few in number, met In haste to elect delegates to the State Con vention and adjourned without giv ing the matter of the endorsement of anybody's candidacy serious thought.

President Coolidge this afternoon vetoed the soldier bonur+blll. Advocates of the measure have begun a fight to pass the bill over the President'!, n.v j. c. norm (Coa.rlint 1924. B, t?. Mnml New *ork. May 15.?Two great sections of forret primeval will be turned Into forest productive today when over 375.000.u00 feet of tlm b??r will be sold by tho Government at the Klamath Indian reservation In Oregon to the highest bidder. This will not only add millions of dollar* to the wealth of the Klamath In dians, who rank high among the great American timber owners, but will furnish work and pay at high wages to thousands of men for years to come. These orlgina owners of the soil are possessed of some eight thousand million feet of timber, enough to build over 500.000 houses or to house a city of over two mil lion people. The two units to be disposed of this week are known as the Trout Creek unit and the Squaw Flat unit and are located in Southern Oregon. They comprise a total of 33,660 acres and constitute two of the larg est forests of yellow pine now stand ing. No bids under $5,000,000 will be considered and the tracts will be sold under agreements calling for the cutting of timber under a grad uated scale of prices to be Increased each three years. The lumbering of the regions involved will extend over at least 15 years. The opening of these vast timber lands to exploitation Is not expected by lumber manufacturers to reduce lumber prices. The demand for building In the last few years has necessitated the expenditure of near ly *20.000.000.000 and while bulld I Ing operations have slackened to I some extent, shortage of housing fa cilities will necessitate continuation of operations at a high pace for some .years to come. i The lumbering of these tracts, however, is coupled on to open to ; develop another large region In | Oregon. They lie adjacent to the Oregon, California and Kastcrn rall iroad, and the new operations arc expected to Justify (lie extension of this road lo Eastern and Northern connections. The sain Thursday will be follow ed June 5 by the disposal at the I same place of the Long Prairie and ! North Marsh units of the Klamath ! reservation which embrace 74,300 j acres on which 700.000.000 million feet of timber, mostly yellow pine, Is growing at present. The Long Prarle unit will he tapped both by the Oregon California and Eastern anil by tho Central Pacific road, | which through Iho building of the . Nalron cut off, now under construc tion, will shortly become part of the I main line of the Southern Pacific i from Portland lo Kan Francisco. The purchase of these lands pro bably will mark another stop In the transfer of I lie main activities of the lumbering Industry from tho South to the Pacific Northwest. That move already has resulted In the the building of whole new cities and communities In hitherto unde veloped regions and while tho stand of Southern pine Is by no means ex hausled, the far sighted lumber men of Hint section aro already assuring themselves of logs when tho growth In Hie Southern slates shall have been reduce to 2 by 4's and 1 by 1 2's. The effect of the sales by tho Government Is of far more Impor tance to th" citizens of the country In general than Is at first apparant. Outside of the district Immediately Involved, deilers contractors and members of the skilled building trades will he affected. Railroads in certain sections will carry more j freight and the business which will accrue to coaslwise and trans oceanic shipping will be tremendous. In 11123 the limber cut on the Kla math reservation yielded (he Indians ? hereon oer 1754,000 and tho new i operations will make them cloje rivals In wealth to the oil land hold ing aborigines of Oklahoma.
