Senate Sustains Steel Veto In Taft Era
In Oxnard California Joe Martinez accidentally discharged a shotgun while cleaning it killing his 17 month old sister held by the mother. The mother was unharmed and both Martinez and his mother were hospitalized amid fear for the mother’s recovery from shock. In Washington the Senate defeated the motion to pass the steel bill over Taft's veto. The Senate then adopted the conference report on the Panama canal bill by 48 to 18, paving the way for a bill requiring American ships in foreign trade to pay full toll and barring railroad owned ships from the canal, while coastwise vessels would have free passage.
