WILL VETO THE CENSUS BILL
PRESIDENT TO SEND SPECIAL
MESSAGE THIS WEEK.
Objects to Provision Allowing Ap-
pointments to Be Made Outside
the Civil Service.

President Roosevelt will send TO Con-
gress this week special message vetoing
the census bill. providing for the taking
of the next census.
This action on the part of the President
has been expected for some time. The
veto will be accompanied by facts and
figures backing the objections of the
President to the thousands of appoint
ments being made outside the civil serv-
ice. He will hold that these appointments
should be made through the civil service
the same others
The President had d conference today
with Civil Service Commissioner Nell
benny and Public Printer Donnelly, both
of whom are interested in the bill. The
civil service commission some time since:
sent to the President a batch of figures
dwelling upon the subject and the Pres-
dent has fortified these by other figures.
William Dudley Ffoulke of Indiana
some time ago requested the President to
veto the bill. declaring that it was moral
ly a return to the Spoils system and
should not be permitted to become law.
Congress will be once again aroused by
this action of the President. The con-
tention is made in the legislative halls
that the civil service cannot induce people
to come to Washington for year or two
for work in the census bureau. and that
the appointments can be made much bet
ter upon congressional recommendation.

The Rossia, in an inspired article today

The disclosures regarding AZef have
been chiefly in the matter of his activity
in organizing assassinations but today
the other side of the shield is being dis
closed. and it is shown that his chief value
to the government was in preventing the

senate a message vetoing the bill pro-
hibiting the manufacture of intoxicants

liquors are made?
shall this or some future Legislature

corresponding benefit.
Second, it discriminates against our

Passenger Vessels to Be
Equipped, if Bill Passes.
PURPOSE OF THE MEASURE
Applies Only to 0cean-Going Craft
of Certain Glass.
IMMEDIATE REPORT IS URGED
Representative Burke Hopes for En-
actment of Law at Present Ses-
sion of Congress.

Following closely the Introduction Of
a bill by Representative James Francis
Burke of Pennsylvania to require
ocean going passenger vessels to be
equipped with wireless telegraphy. the
House committee on merchant marine
and fisheries today took it up for con-
sideration. An immediate report is he
ing urged SO that the bill may become
law at this session.
Representative Burke attended the
meeting 10 explain his bill. Since its
introduction. which followed the wreck
Of the Republic off Nantucket. he has
been making an extensive study of The
subject and has collected a mass of
data.
Since the Introduction OF my bill.
he told the committee. Il have had COM
munications commencing the measure
from individuals and commercial bodies
throughout the country. and / hope for
it's passage at this session.
Right to Enact the Law.
Some one has denied our right to
carry such law as proposed into ef-
feet without International agreement
No such agreement is necessary. We
have the same right to require wireless
instruments as to require life preserv-
ers on ships. The right to enter our
ports is one that we can deny or make
conditional. The French assembly has
followed our example and yesterday
began consideration of measure SINH
lar to mine No nation will resent, out
all will welcome, the passage of this
bill by Congress.
Nor does he bill WORK any hardshipS.
1t does not impose an unjust burden. The
wireless equipment Is a splendid form Of
insurance of ships and cargoes aside from
the protection to life. There can be no
extortion because there are now several
competing companies engaged in the
wireless business.
Even in the face of the wonderful
demonstration of the value of the wire
less in the saving of over A thousand
lives. many steamship owners will be
slow to take advantage of the device be-
cause of it's slight cost. and legislation
is necessary to compel such to act.
Sees No Reason for Objection.
There can be no possible objection to
my BILL as it affects only vessels carrying
at least fifty passengers and whose out
going journey is at least 800 miles. 1t
might even be applied to other vessels on
shorter trips. possibly on the lakes and
in the coastwise trade, but all those will
follow later.
The cost of equipping a ship is about
$1,000. according to the estimate made by
Representative Burke.
The number of people affected by the
proposed legislation may be judged Mr..
Burke told the committee, from the fact
that the ships not now equipped with
wireless carry on an average of 1000O0
passengers per trip into the port CT New
York. about $1,000 each into Philadelphia
and Baltimore, and about 2,jn0 each into
San Francisco and Port Townsend. This
Is exclusive of the first and second class
passengers. varying from 100 to SEQ each
trip.
