PRESIDENT VETOES BILL.
Objects to Granting Right of Way to
Central Arizona Railway.

=. VentldI ArlLUnd Railway.
The President yesterday sent to the
Senate veto of a bill granting right Of
way to the Central Arizona Railway Com
pany through the San Francisco Noun
tains forest reserves. ..
His reasons for this action are: That
the bill does not require the company to
give a bond to protect the Government
from damage by reason OF occupancy of
the right of way; that there Is a law
under which the company. like other
roads. could obtain right of way under
proper safeguards: and he does not see
any necessity why this road should be
favored above any others in that respect.
