One unusual feature off the accident,
was that it occurred as the car was

was paid about $9000. He added
that Linton refused, however, to
“ask favors or considerations” from

Washington, May 16.—(By United’
Press.)—The outcome of the presi-
dent’s clash with congress over the
bonus depends upon bow his veto
message affects some wavering mem-
bers of the senate.
The house will sweep the veto
aside in a vote tomorrow and the
senate will take up ths question
early next week. Today both bonus
advocates and administration leaders
were concentrating pressure upon a
little group of unaerided senators
whose votes are needed to override
the veto if it is to be overridden.
The result in the senate probably
will not lie known very far in ad-
vance of the actual voting. •
Bonus advocates in the house be-
lieve they have a sixty vote mar-
gin. Senate bonus leaders are wary
because of the recent reversal of
form on the Bursum pension bill
which was planned to carry nicely.
The views of various Senate
groups follow:
Senator Copeland, New York.
Democrat and cash bonus advocate:
“The President has shown himself
as being against all human beings.
I do not approve of the tombstone
bonus bill which he vetoed. I want
a cash bonus., But the president
showed himself opposed to all bonus
plans. I will vote to pass the meas-
ure over his veto and I think all
cash lion us men will.”
Senator Brookhart .acting Progres-
sive leader:
“The Progressives will vote to pass
the bill over the veto. Success of
the bill depends upon what attitude
the administration senators take. If
they stick by the votes the bill will
pa**.” .4
Senator Curtis, Republican whip
and author of the bill:
“We will take it up as soon as it
passes the house. Whether we can
pass it over a veto is another ques-
tion upon which I would not at this
time hazard a guess.*
The strong language of the presi-
dent’s disapproval awakened no no-
ticeable response in the house among
members who voted originally for
the soldier bonus. “ * ,

The completion of the Big Indian
oil well, 12 miles northeast *c(f
Gainesville on the Davis farm, has
been delayed on account of an un-
satisfactory cementing job done last
Sunday night. The cement is now
being drilled out of the well, and
as soon as this work is completed, the
hole is to be recemented. The first
cementing failed to stop the rise of
water in the well.
Extraordinary care* will be taken
in cementing the well for a second
time, and it> is hoped that the water
may be stopped entirely. The well
has been bailed daily and at each
time a good showing of oil &nd gas
was indicated. The cAl which is
greenish color, has been tested by
the chemist at the Producers’ Re-
finery north of the city, and has
been found to be of very high grav-
ity.
Quite a few leases in the vicinity
of the well have been changing hands
during the past few days, according
to C. A. Doudrick, president of
the Big Indian Oil and Development
company, • and much interest in the
test ifc being shown by jiutside par-
ties. j.' -■

dian Company, has been here this
