FOES OF DAYLIGHT SAVING ARE DEFEATED.

Washington, July 14.—Repeal of the daylight saving law became a dead issue for the present, at least, by the failure of the house today to pass the agricultural appropriation bill over President Wilson’s veto. 'The vote was 247 to 135, proponents of repeal mustering tiwentythree votes less than the required two-thirds majority. The agricultural bill will 'be passed with the repeal rider eliminated and it was said no effort would be made to pass the repeal measure as a separte bill, as it undoubtedly would be vetoed by the president.. Under the now defeated rider the law would have been repealed on October 26.
