PRIVATE BILLS VETOED
TWO MESSAGES SENT TO CONGRESS
By PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
Two Measures Intended to Clear the
Records of Soldiers of the Civil
War Not Approved.

WASHINGTON, March IS - President
Roosevelt to-day sent to the Senate two
veto messages Of private bills. One is a
bill granting an honorable discharge from
the military service TO Charles II. Hawley.
or this case the President says:
This is a mandatory bill, revoking the
order of dismissal issued thirty-nine years
ago. and directing the issuance of an hon
orable discharge from the army of this
man. whom his superior officers. including
the commander-in-chief. Abraham Lincoln,
held to be unworthy to serve in the army
of the Union thirty-nne years ago. 1 do
not. at this time express an opinion on the
constitutional questions involved I'm the bill.
l think it in the highest degree inexpedient
TO reverse the order of dismissal nearly
forty years after the event, when it is out
of question for anyone to possess the
knowledge and the means of arriving at the
Judgment which was possessed by the fell
low officers of the man at the time they dis
missed him.
Hawley was a second lieutenant in the
Sixteenth Connecticut Volunteer Infantry
The other is a bill for the relief of James
w. Howell In returning this bill, the
President says:
This is not a bill which confers jurisdic-
tion II Is mandatory in its character, di-
set aside the proceedings. findings and SEN
tence Of a court-martial held thirty-seven
years ago. Il do not this time. express
an opinion on the constitutional questions
involved in the bill. 1t is enough TO say
that this man was convicted of mutiny
sentenced 10 be dshonorably discharged
from the army and confined at hard labor
for term of years. A portion of the con-
finement was remitted by executive Glenn
ency. II is TO the last degree improba BILE
that now, thirty-seven years after the
event, there is as good an opportunity. TO
pass Judgment upon the facts as was the
case when the fellow officers of the offender
found him guilty of an offense so serious as
TO call for the punishment they inflicted
There is, perhaps, no other heritance an
American would so like to leave TO his chill
dren as an honorable discharge for services
well and calamity performed in the civil
war, and the honorable discharge thus
granted TO those who, with blood and toll
have earned il, is cheapened and rendered
of little worth If also granted TO their un-
worthy brothers who have forfeited the
right to receive it,"

WASHINGTON. March 1s.-The an
nouncement on the part of the Republic
ans of the House that the Crumpacker COM
mittee TO investigate the representation in
Congress of the States where there exists
restrictive suffrage laws has aroused the
Democrats more than they have been ex-
cited in years. d. B. Hill has telegraphed
here that ii is a temperance of the old
force legislation and should be opposed as
such. Bryan telegraphs that IL is the way
of the banker and employer of labor to de-
tract attention from their coercive meth
DDS of elections. Arthur Pue German, the
coming Democratic leader in Congress, is
very excited and says the Democrats should
be aroused to the highest possible resist
ance and forget all other issues In fight
ing this one. Even the Tammany leaders
see in this an issue on which all Democrats
for the time being may unite and forget
all others.
In the meantime Mr.. Crumpacker goes
serenely about making preparations for the
investigation of the committee even before
it is appointed. The States of Georgia.
Tennessee, Kentucky and Texas of the
South will be exempted because they have
no restrictive laws of the kind described
while the States of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts will be included because they
have educational inhibitions of the voting
power. He says it will reduce the repre-
sentation of the South, if the facts are dis
covered which circumstances lead TO ex-
pect, from fifteen TO eighteen votes. The
Democrats are already charging that the
Republicans are looking ahead to the ex-
pectancy of losing the next Congress- This
is hardly a feature of the situation, for
while Mr.. Crumpacker expects to have
report in time TO secure legislation in this
session of the Congress, it is not TO be ex-
pected at this time that so much prog
ress will be made in the investigation and
the report with subsequent legislation

tom officers on hand guarding property As
soon as these officials saw the frightened
Cinnamon they became alarmed that the
aliens would make an illegal entry into the

sequence of the sudden change in the
weather to remain indoors and thus avoid
any chance of another attack of illness
When seen by the Associated Press cor

appeared to be in a happy frame of mind
and talked freely on several questions
When asked how he had spent the day, he
said: Very quietly and pleasantly, with
my family and in entertaining a few of
my neighbors who called"
In reply to a question regarding the agi-
taton for the construction of the Panama
canal, he said: IL notice the question has
already been debated and passed one of the
houses, and / see no reason why il should
not go through. Much care should be ex-
ercised however, that we do not make
the thing merely kind of grab-bag for
