In Ohio. strange as it may seem, the
governor does not have the power of
veto, and a constitutional amendment
giving him this power will be voted on
by the people this year. Considering
that it has been state for a full cen
fury Ohio is pretty slow in giving its
executive this salutary power which is
exercised in all other states.

Friday Nine. Patti sat in her apart

Patti to sing; he told her 1t meant the

and an injury to the reputation Of his

Finally the owners of the theater
were reached by telephone. They had
already paid $500 for box al the con-

STOPPED A STRAY BULLET
Son Of Police Captain Peter Reynolds
of St. Louis, Killed In Chicago.
Intended For Burglar and
1t Proved Fatal.

Chicago, Nov. 29--Killed in the
street by bullet intended for fleeing
burglars, and deserted by a messenger
boy friend, appears to hcve been the
fate Of 17-year-old George Reynolds,
son of Capt. Peter Reynolds, of the st.
Louis police department. Young Rey-
nolds was found, Saturday morning, In
an unconscious condition in Van Buren,
street, near Franklin, and died as he
was being taken to the Samaritan hos
pital.
The story of the shooting is told by
John Wheels, proprietor of photo
graphic establishment at 1872 Van Buren
street. Wheels claims to have been
aroused from sleep by the noise of
someone tampering with the showcase
in front of his establishment. He sur
prised three men at work on the show
case, and ordered them to throw up
their hands. The men ran across the
street, and Wheels fired several shots
at them. Reynolds and a messenger
boy were walking at some distance
west on Van Buren street at the time.
One OF the bullets struck Reynolds in
the mouth, and he fell to the walk. The
messenger boy dragged Reynolds two
blocks, and there gave way to fright,
leaving Reynolds on the street uncon-
scious. Until informed by the police,
Wheels apparently was unaware that
the bullets had found a mark.

GEN. W0ODOR MAJOR RUNCIE
President Will Withdraw Promotion
If Charges Are Proved True.
Situation Has Become such That
Both Can Not With Honor Re-
main in the Service. ~

Washington, Nov. S0.-President
Roosevelt said Saturday that If it
could be proved that Gen. Wood had
inspired the article written by Maj.
James E. Runcle, criticising Gen.
Brooke, the nomination of Gen. Wood
for promotion to be major-general
would be withdrawn.
Gen. Wood, in his detailed defense
of himself, filed with the war depart
ment, denied that he suggested that
the article be written or that he knew
anything about it until his attention
was called to the publication, and de-
clared that he was so shocked and sur
prised that he did not at first believe
that his friend Runcie had written it,
but thought his name had been wrong
fully used in connection with tffe ar
ticle.
In Lis testimony before the senate
committee on military affairs, Maj.
Runcie declared on oath that the ar
ticle in question was planned at din
ner in Santiago at which Gen. Wood,
Ray Stannard Baker and himself were
present; that Gen. Wood asked him to
write the article, and he had done SO.
Ray Stannard Baker, the third per-
son at the dinner, has been subpoe.
naed, and Maj.-Gen. Brooke has been
called to substantiate or disprove some
of the statements in the article,
Upon Bakers testimony will depend
whether Gen. Wood or Maj Runcie,
retired, shall leave the army in dis
grace. The situation has become such
that it is believed that both can not
with honor remain in the service.
Maj. Runcie, although on the retired
list, is still amenable to military reg
ulations, and can be court-martialed.
Friends of each are wondering which
one will be punished.
