tached to that service, whereas Major
Waller returned to duty with the ma

charged occurred in January and con-
sequenty the army had voluntarily for

of either General Chaffee, Secretary
Long or the president, Captain Mark
asserted. were not sufficient to legalize

MORE VETO MESSAGES.
The President Returns Bills Ex-
punging D~ishonOrable Discharge
of Soldiers.

Washington. March 1S.-Presiden;
Roosevelt today sent to the senate twu
veto messages Of private bills.
One is a bill granting an honorable
discharge from the military service a.
Charles H. Hawley, who was dis
missed from the army thirty-nine years
ago.. President Roosevelt says he re-
CARDS it as i~nexpedient to reverse an
order Of dismissal nearly forty years
after the event. when il is impossib:-
for any one to possess the means OF
arriving at a judgment possessed by
those who dismissed the man.
The other is a bill for the relief Il
James W.. Howell. In returning this
bill. the president says:
This man was convicted OF muntiny
sentenced to be ~dishonorably discharged
from the army and confined at har1
labor for a term of years. A portion or
the confinement was RENTED by exec.
utive clemency. 1t is to the last degree
improbable that now, thirty-seven year.
after the event. there is as good All
opportunity to pass judgment upon tn
facts as was the case WI IN the fellow
officers of the offender found him gull
" or an ofense so serious as to call for
the punishment they inflicted. There is
perhaps no other heritage an American
would so Xix to leave to his children
as an honorable discharge for services
well and CALAMITY performer in the
civil war. NJ the honorable discharge
thus granted to those who with blood
and toll have earned ii, is cheapened
and rendered Of little worth IL ais
granted to their unworthy brothers who
have forfeited the right to receive it"
