WON'T REINSTATE HAZERS
Taft vetoes Resolution for Re-

washir eton. Feb fi.-President TAN 70
dov sent N Congress q message vetoing
joint rtsoluticn authorizing him to rem

They were dismissed from the Academy
on the charge of bazi1g, under the olu Va"
permitting no alternative for dismissal
when found guilty OF this OFFENCE. since
their dismissal law has been passep
granting n trial and the object OF the plii
was 10 give these young men the beneh'
of this privilege.
In his message OF disapproval President
Taft gives his reasons. as follows;
These cadets received a fair and i'm
partial trial In accordance WIN law as II
existed at the time of their trial. ana were
punished by dismissal Iher cIIlneo,Io
with the Military Academy has been en-,
tirely severed. and they now are III clVll

tary OF War are OF me opinion tI"t VI.
e, actment OF this Joint resolution would
have a very Injurious effect upon the MIL
tarv Academy and would tend seriously
to demo ralize the discipline there. In this
option ] concur.
The resolution provided that the President
might appoint such cadets as he chose to
the academy. and that when appointed
they should be tried by court martial FOR
the offence for which they were expelled,
and n any Of them we're found entitled to
be retained as cadets they should resume
their studies at the beginning OF the next
academic year In such classes as the Sec
retary of War might designate. The age
restriction was waived. as most OF the
cadets affected had passed the year when
they were eligible to appointment.

BREAD FAMINE ON
EAST SIDE IN N. Y.
As BAKERS RIOT
Entertainment Committees" of
Strikers Raise Havoc in
BakeShOps.
COPS RECEIVE INVADERS
IN ONE PLACE--GOOD NIGHT |!
In Another Place Proprietor Is
Beaten Insensible and
Dumped Into Flour.

NEW YORK, May 2.-Disorders and
assaults began early today in the strike
of journeyman bakers in the east side
shops, and detectives from several po-
lice stations are searching for MEM
bers of the entertainment committee"
of strikers.
The strike is causing a bread famine
on the east side. The 1000 men who
left their ovens Sunday night left a
shortage of 10000 loaves. At a meet
ing last night of the striking bakers
it was urged that the strike be ex-
tended throughout the city.
Abraham Cohen, 36 years old, living
at 13S Ludlow street, and having a bake
shop at 147 Ludlow street, was the first
victim of an assault today His men
went out on strike yesterday, and early
today Cohen was in his shop trying to
get out small supply of bread by
himself.
Ross Baker Beaten IDsepsible.
Suddenly ten men swooped into the
cellar and fell upon him. With an iron
bar which he used to secure the door
they beat him over the head and body,
finally rendering him unconscious.
With knives they then cut every bag
of flour in the shop and emptied it's
contents on the floor When the pile
was big enough they picked up Cohen
and dumped him into the midst of it.
Cohen's first shouts for aid we're heard
and he was found In helpless condi-
ton and treated by DIR. Eberle, of
Gouverneur Hospital. who put several
stitches in his head 1t required con-
siderable time to scrape all the flour
and dough off Cohen.
In another raid on q bake shop the
attackers came out second best. and If
it had not been for the police some of
them probably would have been killed.
Isadore Stempler has shops at 165
and 1863 Monroe street and 291 Madison
street. Yesterday his employees at 291
and 169 went on strike. but the men at
165 decided to remain at work.
Last night Stempler received infor-
nation that a strikers entertainment
committee" would pay him visit be-
fore daylight and drag out the men
found at work in his place at 1866 He
notified the police of the Madison street
station and Detectives Sullivan and
Murphy we're sent to guard the place.
At l o'clock ten men darted into the
cellar at 165. where eight men were
making bread.
Although the visitors were armed
with knives and revolvers, the bakers
had clubs and other weapons, and a
battle royal started Immediately The
strikers were getting the worst of 1t
when the detectives fought their way
in and captured two of them. The
others fled.
The face of one Of the prisoners was
SO badly beaten he was hardly recog-
nizable and both of the other mans
eyes were closed.

POLICE CHIEF
Civil Service Board Ties Up En-
tire East Orange Police
Pay Roll.
Especial to the Newark start


TRENTON. May 2.-Some of the Off
cials of East Orange are liable to in
dictment because salary has been paid
over the protest of the Civil Service
Board to Chief of Police O'Neill, re-
Gently appointed by Mayor Gregory.
The board has been unofiicially in
formed that O'Neills salary has been
paid in the usual manner on war
rant signed by the auditor
The attorney general had given an
opinion to the civil service board that
the appointment of O'Neill was illegal.
as the chiefs Office is in the competi-
tive civil service class, and the board
has therefore refused to certify to the
salary for ONeill
The auditor and others responsible for
the payment of the salary have violated
the state law. as interpreted by the at
torney- general. The board admins
tered another slap to Chief of Police
O'Neill today. 1t refused to certify to
the payroll for the whole East Orange
police force, because it was signed by
O'Neill. In order not to hold up the
salary of the policemen, the board will
send the payroll back to have it signed
by one of the police commissioners of
East Orange.
Although the civil service board
cannot recognize O'Neil no action of
the board as such can oust him. That
can be done only by a suit instituted
in the name OF a taxpayer. and it Is
not likely that the Civil Service Com
mission will take the initiative in this
course, either.

FOREIGNERS SAFE
FROM RAVACES OF
CHINESE REBELS

HONG KONG, China, May 2.--To
days advces from Canton. where the
revolutionary movement originated, in
dicate that foreigners have escaped
harm.
The foreign quarters of Canton,
known as the Shamien, is now under
the guard Of several hundred marines
landed from the foreign vessels lying
in the west river. Advices from the
rebel-ridden section today say that the
marines, the majority of whom are
from the fouG British vessels, have
posted rapid fire guns on the canal
bank overlooking the most likely points
of attack. There are two United States
gunboats. four British vessels, two
French vessels and one German gun
boat lying off Canton. So far the for
eigners in Canton have not suffered in
jury. The commander of the British
force of marines is under orders to
take whatever steps he deems neces-
sary to protect the foreigners Of all
nationalities.
on Sunday evening the revolutionists
attempted to cross to Shamien with
the purpose of capturing the police
station there. They were repulsed by
loyal troops.
Bandits led by the brigand chief,
LUX, burned four government resi-
dences at Fatshan when they attacked
and looted the town.
Reports from the West River dis
tricts are meagre, as the rebels de-
stroyed telegraphic communication at
many points. IT appears. however that

A hasty inventory of articles of value
in the house revealed the fact that a.

of Janice, years. old, the eldest of the
four Kinney children; a gold mesh bag
adorned with turquoise matrix, and
a considerable amount of clothing was
