Dallas, Tex, March IA cyclone
has swept through the southern sub

the northeast, dwelling fences and de-
stroying small farm buildings in it's

HIS FIRST VETO.
President Roosevelt Says John Glass
Should Be DISCHARGED.

Washington, March 12.-President
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 in part as follows:
1T is incomprehensible to me that
he GLASS; should not have made eff
fective effort to get back into the
navy. He had served but little more
than a month when he deserted, and
the war lasted for over a year after
wards, yet he made no effort what
ever to get back into the war. Under
such circumstances it seems to me
that to remove the charge of deser-
ton from the navy and give him an
honorable discharge would be to falsi-
fy Che 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 repub-
lie; and | am not willing to put upon it
the name of a man unworthy of the
high position"
After the message had been deliv-
cred, Senator Gallinger, from the COM
mittee on naval affirs, read the report
of the committee on which the senate
acted. From that statement it ap-
peared that Glass enlisted in January,
1864, when only 16 years of age, and
that, having witnessed an act which
compromised the second officer of the
ship, he was taken ashore in March of
that year by that officer and told not
to report again for duty. The COM
mittee say that this order, together
with Glass youth, was responsible for
his desertion.
