President Criticizes the House.
Washington. March 29.-In a veto
message sent to the house yesterday in
which he refuses to sign a relief-fOr-
desertion bill the president says this
bill. like the senate bill in the case of
james w. Howell. not only authorizes
the president to act, but oIderS the
secretary of war to revoke and set
aside the orde.' approving the proceed
ingS, findings and sentence of a gem

sion of the cabinet yesterday Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson made state
ment regarding the discrimination by

severe. and indicated that if similar
analyses were reSOTted to by United
States officials against German food
products coming into the United
States millions of dollars worth of
this country every year The position
taken by Secretary Wilson is regarded
as mild intimation to Germany that
the present situation cannot continue.

Captain John Fitchett. formerly known

accepted 500 from John Long fof pro-
c''ring the appointr' - of the lattri as

cause of the implication Of other officiais.
The prosecuting attorney points out
that it would have been impossible for
Chairman Titchett to have sold appoint
n.ents to the police force unless he was
il collusion with others. The appointment
OF Long was made last August, under
the administration of Mayor Ames. He
had been dropped from the department
rolls when Ames resumed Office six
months ago.
