; OVERWHELMING VOTE , ' Australian Press Association. (Received 25th May, noon.) WASHINGTON, 24th May. President Goolidgo received the most decisive Congressional rebuke of his whole administration to-day, when the Senate' in littlo. more than an hour overwhelmingly overrode his veto on four Bills. First, it passed two votoed Postal Bills, making them law, and then it passed an Indian Lands . Bill and an Emergency Officers' Eetirement Bill. The last two measures must still be acted upon by the House of Representatives. This is the first time that Congress has failed to hoed President Coolidge's veto, with the exception of the Soldiers' Bonus Bill. Only a few Republican "regulars" supported the President in the voting.
