Earnest speech Against Popular Election
OF Senators.

WASHINGTON, March lin the Senate
this morning a discussion was started
on the subject of the proposed Con-
stitutional amendment to mako Sena-
tors elective by the people instead Of by
State Legislatures. The House bill for that
purpose had been recently referred by the
Senate 10 the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, and Mr.. Berry Dem, Ark
asked that that committee should be re-
quired to make a report either favorable or
adverse, 80 a. to have action by the Senate
upon il.
Mr.. Hoar (Rep. Mass), made a vigorous
protest against the whole movement. 1t
was a question. he said, at which the whole
people might well pause. 1t was one of the
greatest questions ever brought up for
Legislative action anywhere on the face Of
the earth II the Senate did not defend
itself against popular movements, some
times hastily and lightly made, it was not
10 be defended at all
Continuing his remarks, Mr.. Hoar said:
THE committee will deliberate whether
We are to strike down one of the great
glories of our republic, and let it perish
from among the nations of the earth. |,
for one, am willing 10 do my duty on that
committee, but ] will not be hurried and
they shall not he hurried If ! can help 1t
Mr.. Stewart (Rep., New also argued
against the proposed amendment. No
action was taken.

Assemblyman Davis's resolution, amend
ing the Constitution by giving the State
the right to lease camp sites and permit
the cutting of timber in the Adirondacks
is dead. Mr.. Davis refuses to press il for
passage. When il came up on the order
of second reading to-day Mr.. Davis moved
that it he laid aside He gave as his reason
the following:
laid my concurrent resolution aside be-
cause ! ave become satisfied that we have
not reached a point where we ought TO let
down the bars in regard TO the Adirondacks
! am extremely sorry that the gentlemen
who have recently explained their Oh ieCtions

Forestry Committee before the resolution
was reported.
There is very serious opposition 70 the
cutting of timber. and while | am confident
that this can be carried out scientifically

ciate the fear OF very great number of people
that the forest might he In jured. | believe

Mr.. Allison Asks some Questions as TO
It's Eject on shipping.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE shipping
Subsidy bill was taken up in the Senate
this afternoon, and Mr., Mallory. Florida, a
minority member of the Committee on
Commerce. made an argument against il
It's promoters, he said, were acting on the
theory that it was proper and just for the

FOR MILITIA ONLY
OdcII vetocs Dill Giving spanish Veterans
Pri, ilcges In Them.

Albany, March Ii.-Gov. Odell sent TO
the Assembly to-day veto of Assembly
man Brooks's bill. which would permit
the veterans of the Spanish war TO use
the armories for their meeting places.
The Governor gives the following reason
for the veto:
The armories OF the State are erected
for military purposes and TO promote the
efficiency OF the active forces OF the state
They were erected with Il view of proVid-
ing suitable quarters for The active organl-
cations in the respective localities, with the
prospect of their sole occupancy by such
organizations. Almost without exception
they are barely large enough for the M;
tional Guard and Naval MilitiH now assigned
TO them. To authorize their use by any
additional organizations would undoubtedly
require further expenditures on such build
incs on the part Of counties or the state.
As commanding officers are responsible
for such property. great care Is necessary
to be exercised as to those who should he
permitted to Use the armories, especially
as such officers would have no control over
other than their own commands. For the
reason that | believe that ther" are not suf-
ncient accommodations in the State armories
to allow OF any further extension of their
privileges. / have withheld executive ap-
proyal from this bill.

SUPERVISION or CHARITIES.
Amendments suggested TO Bili by Presi-
dents Stewart and Canneid.

dents Stewart and Garfield.
ALBANY, March ia hearing was
scheduled before the Senate Finance and
Assembly Ways and Means committees
to-day on Gov. Odell's bill. providing a
State fiscal supervising officer for the
State charitable and reformatory institu-
tions. No one appeared either for or
against the bill.
Senator Higgins received a letter from
William X. Stewart, President of the State
Board of Charities. saying he was glad
the bill was not as drastic as had been
feared Mr.. Stewart suggested amend
ments TO the bill, requiring stated meetings
and inspections OF the institutions by the
local boards and that book be provided
in which shall be registered the attendance
of members of local boards at meetings
and inspections.
Mr. Stewart would also have an amend
ment providing that where member is
absent from two consecutive meetings
without satisfactory excuse. his place should
be considered vacant. Mr.. Stewart also
suggests that the State Board be allowed
to reappoint an inspector Tor the state
charitable and reformatory institutions at
a salary of 81, 600 TO look after the humani-
tartan side OF the work This inspector
would report quarterly to the Governor,
the State fiscal supervisor OF charitable
and the Presidents of the local
boards of managers
President George s. Garfield OF the State
Charities Aid Association, in "A letter to
Senator Higgins, objected TO the Governor
appointing State fiscal supervisor TO
take the place of the state Comptroller in
the finances of the charitable
and reformatory institutions and several
other provisions.

ROOSEVELT'S FIRST VETO.
lie Refuses TO Remove Charge Of Dcser-
ton Incurred In C,iI War.

WASHINGTON, March l1.-President IL Roose-
welt sent TO Congress to-day his first
veto message. II announced his disap-
proval OF bill to remove tho charge OF
desertion from the record Of John Glass
who after serving about a month as first
class boy on the United States ship Moose
during the Civil War deserted
The report Of the Senate Committee on
Naval Affairs shows from the papers in
the case that Glass, who was 10 years old
at the time, had been a witness to a cir
cumstance of compromising nature
affecting the second officer of the Moose,
and that the latter had taken Glass ashore,
bought him civilian suit and ordered him
not to return. He had therefore been re-
corded as a deserter, but the committee
believing the offence unintentional recon-
mended the passage of the bill.
President Roosevelt gives the following
reasons for his adverse action upon the bill:
There can be no graver crime than the
crime Of desertion from the army or navy.
especially during war. IL is then high treason
to the nation and Is Justly punishable by
death No man should be relieved from such
4 crime. especially when nearly forty years
have passed since 1t occurred save on the
clearcSt possible proof Of his real innocence
In this case the statement made by the afllant
before the committee does not IN all points
agree with his statement made 10 the Secre-
tary of the Navy In any event IL il incom-
prehensible to me that he should not have
made effective enort TO get back into the
navy. lie had served but little more than a
month when he deserted. and the war lasted
for over a year afterward, yet he made no
effort whatever TO get back into the war
Under such circumstances IL seems TO me
that TO remove the charge OF dcsertion from
the navy and give him an honorable discharge
would be to faSify the records and do an
injustice 70 his gallant and worthy comrades
who fought tho war 10 finish The names
of the veterans who fought IN the Civil War
make the honor list of the republic and an
not willing TO put upon n the name OF n man
unworthy OF the high position.

Charles F. Shafrer. treasurer for the past
year. submitted his report, which was re.
ferred to the board of directors and later
approved Several outstanding bills were
ordered paid. The officers for the ensuing
year occupied their positions last night.
The subject of lighting the quarters was
the occasion of a good deal of discussion on
the part Of the members present. 1t was
argued that as the board Of trade was or.
ganized in the interests of the town. and
as every effort was being made to en-.
courage the locating of manufacturing in
terests here. the town should furnish the
lights in the rooms.
By a unanimous vote Of the members
present the constitution was amended.
The amendment affects section 1, article 5,
and provides that the regular meeting OF
the board shall be held the fourth Friday
of the month. instead Of the fourth
Wednesday.
The question Of exempting from taxation
for certain period of years manufacturing
interests locating In the town was given
considerable attention. The board decided
that instructions should be given the deles
gates to the legislature from this town to
use their efforts to secure the passage OF
the bill before that body.
The committee on public buildings wa4
urged to push the matter of securing .
building for this town. The railroad coHaS
mittee will arrange q meeting with OFF
flcials of the Baltimore and Ohio RaflroaQ
Company with the view Of having the stas
ton at this place kept open all night.
