BILL CONSIDERED UNJUST
Acting Governor vetoes Measure
Favoring Spanish War Veterans

avoring Spanish War Veterans
Acting Governor Draper of Massa-
chusetts returned to the house of repre-
sentatives without his approval the bill
entitled An act relative to employ
ment in the public service of veterans
of the war with Spain" The house
Immediately debated the question of
passing the bill over the governors
veto, and a vote resulted "A to a. the
bill failing to pass, two thirds vote
being required
In the message accompanying his
veto the acting governor explained at
length his reasons for failing to ap-
prove the measure. He declared the
bill tended to create a special class Of
citizens with injustice to an enormous
majority of the laboring men of the
commonwealth.
In the trade positions affected the
total number of employees was II LOCO.
while last year the number of appoint
ments made in the labor service in five
different cities affected by the bill was
zoos. The result of the act would.
therefore, be practically to place all the
vacancies that may occur in the hands
of the Spanish war veterans, if they de-
eide they want them, with the excep-
ton of the preference given Civil war
veterans.
Acting Governor Draper pays a high
tribute to the men who served in the
Spanish war, but does not believe the
thousands who would have gone to the
war had they been needed should be
excluded from the opportunity of Sc
curing employment in the positions
considered by the bill.

been sought more or less actively by
the police of Boston, make a quiet,
but none the less dramatic, return to
the scene of his professional en-

When Captain Dugan appeared he
took King into custody, and detailed
INSPECTORS McGarr and Armstrong to

booked as c. f. King, 60 Powell street,

King and the attorneys were given
small room in the bureau of criminal
inspection, and there for the next two
hours they were closeted.
King appeared quite at ease. 1t was
noticeable that he had a good color,
appeared in better physical condition
than at the time of his departure, and
that he had clipped close a moustache
which was wont to droop over the cor

country on a French liner and had been
in New York the past few days. Still
later, in a long statement, typewriter
and distributed to the reporters, King
declared that he had gone away chiefly
for rest and recreation and that he had
almost completed a book detailing his
life history, his financial career and ex-
posing many alleged knaveries in the
stock market world. He says he is back
to fight. Later in the day King was
photographed and HIS measurements
and finger prints taken.
King was arraigned before Judge
Pierce In the first session Of the Suf-
folk county superior criminal court late
In the afternoon, where he pleaded not
guilty. In default of $4,000 bail King
was committed to the Charles street
