FIRST VETO BY
THE PRESIDENT
Refuses to Approve Bill Removing Charge o,
observation-disclosures Of Veterans Our
Roll of Honor"

Washington, March 12.-President
Roosevelt yesterday sent his first veto
message to congress. 1t was directed
to the senate and the bill vetoed was
one removing the charge of desertion
from the naval record of John Glass.
The message was as follows:
There can be no greater crime than
the crime of desertion from the army
or navy, especially during war; it is
then high treason to the nation and is
Justly punishable by death. No man
should be relieved from such a crime,
especially when nearly forty years
have passed since 1t occurred, save on
the clearest possible proof of his real
innocence. In this case the statement
made by the affiant before the COM
mittee does not In all points agree
with his statement made to the secre-
tary of the navy. In any event. 1t is
incomprehensible to me that he should
have made effective effort to get back
into the navy. He had served but lit
tie more than month when he de-
serted, and the war lasted for over a

The projectors Of the Canton Belt

year afterwards, yet he made no effort
whatever to get back into the war.
Under such circumstances 1t seems
to me that to remove the charge of
desertion from the navy and give him
an honorable discharge would be to
falsify the records and do an injustice
to his gallant and worthy comrades
who fought the war to a finish. The
names of the veterans who fought in
the civil war make the honor list of
the republic; and I am not willing to
put upon 1t the name of a man un-
worthy of the high position.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
After the message had been deliv-
cred Senator Gallinger, from the COM
mittec on naval affairs, read the report
of the committee on which the senate
acted. From that statement 1t appear
ed that Glass enlisted in January, 1864,
when only 16 years of age, and that
having witnessed an act which com.
promised the second officer of the ship,
he was taken ashore on March of that
year by that officer and told not to
report again for duty. The committee
says that this order. together with
Glass youth. was responsible for his
desertion.

STRUCK PREACHER.
Editor Wouldn't Stand" d"Puppy"

Cleveland, March 12.-Rev. Mr.. Rod.
erick, pastor of an east end Baptist
church, was assaulted yesterday in the
Press Office by Charles Lancaster, the
city editor. The preacher called upon
him to request that statement pub
lished in another afternoon paper be
denied and corrected. After some ar.
gument Lancaster told the divine that
he would not publish anything about
the matter, whereupon the minister
said:
That confirms the belief l always
held, that all newspaper men are
puppies"
The sentence was no more than ut
tered when Lancaster landed upon the
preachers face knocking him down.
Then, grabbing him by the neck, the
city editor threw his caller down the
stairs.

languages, has come to be looked upon
as a sort of general consul by the for

Four years ago Greenbaum estab-
lished settlement of such people in
Copley, and where there were only
weeds and brush there are now neat
garden lands. The success of his
scheme has induced others to come,
and the prospective influx will result
in the forming of new town beside
the famous Copley swamp.

Fifteen MILLIONS
FOR new STEEL MILL
MahonIns Valley Capitalists
Propose to Build Form able
Independent Mt Plants.

Washington, March ia stupend-
out industrial proposition is now be-
ing considered by group of con-
spicuous steel men in the Mahoning
valley. according to information con-
tained in a letter which Congressman
Robert w. Tayler Of the Eighteenth
Ohio district has received from one
Of Youngstown's best known citizens.
It is proposed to invest $4,000, 900
In the construction of new steel mills
In Youngstown which shall be wholly
md absolutely Independent of the
United States Steel corporation. More
over, the new plants. when construct
ed, will be operated as rivals Of the
trust.
How many men are interested in
this project is not stated in the letter,
but the names of Henry Wick, Myron
j. Wick and Jas. Campbell are sug-
gested. These men, with their fellow
promoters, are among the best steel
experts in the United States, having
spent their lives in the business. They
have made large fortunes out of iron
and steel, and are able, II Is under
stood, to interest vast amount Of
outside capital in the project besides.
The recent increase of $1,500000 in
tho capitalization of the independent
sheet steel plant at Youngstown is re-
ported to be the initial movement to-
ward further and more serious COM
petition with the trust.

Raised Again.


situation and an exasperating censor
ship have set London on edge. Nothing
has been heard from Lori Methuen
since his capture regarding his con1i-
ton, and little is known of the move
ment of troops that formed part of his
command, but who took no part in last
Fridays combat
The city is full Of rumors. one of
ger. It is said, that as q measure Of
retaliation for the shooting and hang
ing of Boer prisoners, De Wet and
Steyn may be tempted to do away with
their distinguished prisoner. Pro-
Beers, however, scout this idea, de-
claring that it might lead to reprisals
that would shock the whole world;
that even Cronje and other burgher
exiles might suffer at the hands CT an
enraged British soldiery.
An incident at this particular time
that reopens distressing affair adds
greatly to the peril in which Methuen
is placed. 1t is the publication of
private letter detailing the execution
of Commandant Scheepers by the Brit
ish. The heartlessness in which that
execution was carried out gives a
touch of barbarity to the grim affair.
Here Is the story of soldier who
formed one of the hollow square, in
closed in which Scheepers met his
doom:
"Commandant Scheepers was shot at
3 o'clock. They brought him from the
town in an ambulance van with band
playing and the firing party following
behind. When they got him to his
grave he begged to be allowed to
STAND UP AND FACE DEATH,
but they tied him down in chair and
blindfolded him. Then fifteen of the
Coldstream Guards stood within ten
one side of him away, and 1t was
sickening sight. r
He must have been a brave man.
He did not finch nor turn pale. They
buried him as he was, and broke up
throwing the pieces on top of him"
When 1t is further added that the
tune played by the band that conveyed
Scheepers to death was a rollicking
one, and that the victim at the time
was suffering from severe wounds, the
rage and horror excited among the
Beers by the execution may be ina
gined.
1t is in the hands of men imbued
with these feelings that Methuen Is
now a prisoner, and in the circum-
stances it Is easy to discern his peril
Gus position.
There are not few who describe
Lord Methuen's defeat to lack of eau
tion, caused by alteration that has
been superinduced ny hard and contin-
uous campaigning. Many persons now
assert that his mysterious message, of
eighteen month ago has been fulfilled.
After the Magersfontein disaster his
dispatch to the war Office read: Dark
ness after dawn" This was at the
time when reports were current in
London that the generals mind had
become unbalanced, and the strange
message was taken as an indication of
mental decline.
Now, indeed, the latest calamity Is
pointed out as a sure case of Dark
ness after dawn" for, apparently at
time when the crushing power of Eng
land was eating into the dwindling
forces of the Beers, they turn upon
their foe and win one of the most re-
markable victories of the war.

New York, March 12.-Prince Henry
OF Prussia sailed for Germany on board
the Hamburg-American liner Deutsch-

in America was spent entirely on board
the Deutschland, but 1t was we'll filed
with pleasing incidents.
Shortly before the Deutschland sail

cases women had to be rescued from
the crush to see the prince.

The Deutschland sailed at 3:45. As
she moved away from the pier the
cheering was continuous. The prince
appeared on the bridge and bowed.
All down North river the passing tugs
and craft of every description gave the
great liner and her distinguished pas
senger noisy send off. At the bat
terry, which was reached exactly at 4
o'clock, great crowd had gathered
and cheered as the vessel steamed on
down the bay.
The Deutschland reached the Mar
rows at 4:35. Forts Wadsworth and
Hamilton fired salutes, which were an
swered by the Deutschland's whistle,
and the garrison at Fort Wadsworth
lined up on the bluff until the steamer
had passed out into the lower bay.

The Dow tax is given at $500 be-
cause it includes the 20 per cent pen
atty provided by the Dow law and the
800 penalty provided by the Middle

paid by the saloons $3,524, ,144.44. Had
all the other sources been forced to

EVASION OF the
DOW TAX Law
Startling Figures Were Un-
earthed When Authorities
Started investig 9 alton.
tFrom a Staff correspondent.)

Columbus, March 12.-Anent the
avowed intention of the state authori-
ties to enforce vigorous campaign
for the collection of delinquent Dow
taxes on the liquor traffic. 1t is inter-
esting to note that some startling fig
ures were compiled two years ago by
detective who was engaged in track
ing down druggists who evaded the
Middleton law. This law provides that
when druggist sells liquor as a bev-
erage he shall take out Dow license
costing $3.50. This statute has, how
ever, been practically dead letter.
In the year 1899 the number of United
States internal revenue licenses issued
to retail dealers in Ohio was 1907,
and the same year only 1884 Dow
law tax receipts were issued, an excess
of 4,116 for United States licenses. In
that year the number of drug stores
having United States licenses was 1880
while only II had taken Dow law IL
censes.
This left an excess of 2,309. OF rail-
road cars on which liquor was sold
66 had government licenses and none
Dow tax licenses. Taking the number
OF known illegal houses at 244, it was
pointed out that but %, all told, paid
the Dow tax law, while all had United
States revenue licenses. Grouping
these figures, the following table was
prepared:
