VETO THE. PROGRAM
FOR FORAKER BILL
President to Be Certain No
Guilty Troops Are Re-
inStated.

President Roosevelt will see TO II that
Senator Foraker's bill for the reinstate-
ment Of the discharged soldiers Of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry who were dis
missed from the army on account Of the
Brownsville rioting does not become a
law That is, he will prevent il IL a
veto can do II. This has become known
10 some of the Administration members
OF the Senate, and they are using IL as
one Of the reasons why the Foraker bill
should not be enacted
The Foraker bill provides that those
members Of the discharged battalion
shall re re-enlisted who take oatn they
were in no way concerned in the
Brownsville riOting The Warner bill,
which is the Administration measure,
provides for the reinstatement OF such
members Of the battalion as are able 70
satisfy the President they were not par
Elephants IN the ARRAY and had no
knowledge OF it, The President wants
Congress 70 enact such legislation as
will enable him TO restore TO the army
the men he IS convinced are not guilty
and know nothing OF who the guilty
parties are. But he Is not willing to
return to the service every member OF
the battalion VINO takes an oath he was
in no way concerned in the riOtng and
70 return him 20 the service under the
provisions OF a bill that would In effect
hold the President wrong when he dis
charged the troops without honor
Under the circumstances these Sena-
tors who want 10 get the Brownsville
matter disposed OF before the end OF
this session are saying that the kindest
thing that can be done Tor the dis
charged soldiers Of the Twenty-ffth is
TO pass the Warner bill. Under its oper-
alton il IS likely many Of the troops
would be re-enlisted. or most Of those
that want 10 return TO service They
point out that to pass the Foraker bill
and have the President veto II, leaving
no legislation existent on this sub
iect, would certain not be kindness
TO the discharged troops and that as
practical proposition, having In mind
the welfare OF the men who We're dis
missed, the best thing to be done IS 70
pass the Warner bill. Senator Foraker
in his speech TO the Senate disclaimed
the idea OF having gone into this
Brownsville matter for any political
reason. Nevertheless the feeling among
politicians is that the senior Senator
from Ohio would not mind IL much If
situation arrived that led 10 the passage
OF his bill by Congress and its veto by
the President.

ACREAGE VALUE
OF FARM LANDS
DAVIDSON COUNTY LEADS IN AS
SESSMENT WITH MAuRY
COUNTY SECOND.

Additional figures as to the tax ag
gregate values of property in Middle
Tennessee now being prepared by
Comptroller Dibrell show some very
interesting increases in land values
in this division. BY these figures the
average value per acre of land in each
county is arrived at, and also the
average value per acre of the grand
division.
According to the report the value
of farm lands in Middle Tennessee
Is 1888 per acre, gain over 1907 Of
10 cents per acre. This increase,
while not a heavy one, is In keeping
with the increases reported each year.
Several of the counties show decreas-
es while others show increases. In
all cases these changes are very small,
and thus 1t is concluded that the val
ues Lave not changed materially.
Davidson county, of course, leads
the division, with an average acreage
value of $29.S7 per acre, a gain over
last year OF almost ST. The valua-
lions in few of the other Middle Ten
nessee counties, together with the
valuation of 1907, appear thus:

BOAT MISSING
OVER A WEEK
FEARS ENTERTAINED THAT A BIG
LAKE FRElGHTER, THE Glenn
SON HAS BEEN LOST

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 7.--One week
has passed since the steamer D. NJ
Clemson, owned by A. B. Wolyin, of
Duluth, passed the 500 bound up from
Lorain, o., on her last trip of the year.
Her owners say that in all probability
she foundered in the terrific storm
that ragged at the lower end of Lake
Superior early in the week or is
stranded somewhere on the north
coast In either event her entire crew
of twenty-four men, including the Off
GERS, must have persisted.
No news of the boat has been re-
ceived since she passed the locks at
the 500. A vessel sighted Friday in
shelter behind the Grand Island was
believed to be the Clemson, but 1t
proved to be the D. 0. Mills, which
arrived in port here yesterday after
noon, but brought no news of the miss
ing vessel,
The Clemson is flrst-class bulk car
rier, built in Superior in 1903. Her
gross tonnage Is 5,531. She is 448
feet long and has 52-foot beam, and
is 80 feet deep.
