The Senate prepared to vote on a 14 million omnibus tax bill facing charges of railroading from Senator A Herald of Braxton.

River Work To Go Ahead On Various Projects
Washington May 2 no attempt will be made by government bureaus to stop work on improvements now under way in the Kanawha river and Marmet and Lond on the Ohio river. Becket or Princeton post offices will not be held up for economy. The assurance comes from the house appropriation subcommittee handling the Independent offices appropriation bill which attached a provision empowering the president to cancel contracts.
