Arizona and New Mexico Can
Only Become States Over
Veto.
PRESIDENT DOES. HN ,AIACE
WORDS N CONCERNING RECALL
Is Pernicious in It's Effects, Destruc.
tive Of Judiciary Independence, and
Likely to Subject Individual Rights
to Tyranny Of Popular Majority.

Washington, Aug. 15-Presidant
Taft in special message to the house
OF representatives today vetoed the
join resolution providing for the ad-
mission Of New Mexico and Arizona
to statehood. His reason for exercis-
ing the executive power of the veto
was based on his thorough disappro-
val OF the recall Of judges clause in
the Arizona constitution. The fact
that New Mexico statehood was bound
up with that of Arizona meted out to
her the name fate, and neither terri
tory can come into the union at this
time, unless the friends of the Joint
resolution In congress can muster the
two-thirds vote necessary to pass the
resolution over the presidents veto.
This may be attempted.
The president did not spare words
In condemning the recall features of
the Arizona constitution which, he
said, would compel judges to make
their decision under legalized ter
rorism." The real provision would
operate against all elective officers
OF Arizona. including both county and
state judges. When twenty-five per
cent Of the voters at any previous
election petitioned for. a special .elec-
ton to remove an official such cleo
ton would be compulsory.
"This provision of the Arizona con-
stttution," the president says. "in it's
application to county and state judges
seems to be SO pernicious in its effect,
so destructive Of independence in the
judiciary. is so likely to subject the
rights Of the individual to the nossi.
Bile tyranny Of the popular majority,
and therefore to be so Injurious to
the cause Of free government, / must
disapprove the constitution contain
ing It."
The message was read to the house
amid absolute silence. Then a storm
Of applause broke from the Republic
can side. The Democrats remained
quiet. The message was referred to
the territories committee.

ATTACKS LAW
MinnesOta's Reapportionment Bi
Will Run Court Gauntlet.

Minneapolis, Aug. 15.-Attack was
begun on the so-called seven senator
reapportionment bill, passed by the
1911 legislature, before Judge w. E.
Hall in the Hennepin county circuit
court today. The plaintiff in the case,
Representative Charles Fowler of the
Hennepin county delegation, seeks to
enjoin Secretary of State Julius
Schmahl from placing the proposed
constitutional amendment on the gen.
eral election ballot. Irregularity in
the passage of the bill and the trans
gression of the rights of equal repre-
sentation are alleged against the
measure. The bill proposes that no
county shall have more than seven

May Be a Symptom of
Convalescence.

Rome, Aug. 15.-The cool air of the
early morning helped to freshen the
pope, who, appeared to be no worse
than on yesterday. Prof. Marchia
'Fava, consulting doctor at the vati-
can, explained that the pontiff's rest
lessness during the night was due
perhaps to the fact that he had slept
longer than usual yesterday after
noon. Moreover, the restlessness
might be described as impatience at
the invalid life, which is really a
symptom of convalescence.

Their BsrrOoms In sight on sunday.
An order went out from Police Head
quarters early yesterday morning under
which precinct commanders were to tell
patrolmen to look out for excise viola
tions. The order was from Chief Inspec-
tor Schmittberger and read about "a
follows:
Instruct all outgoing patrolmen to
observe violations of the excise law.
They will inspect barrooms from the
outside, note distractions to a complete
view of the bar. see whether or not cur
tains are drawn. and report In writing to
Police Headquarters all cases OF viola
ton"
Reports from citizens that the town
is wide open had been coming in at Head
quarters. and there was no cessation
yesterday. Many complaints OF back
door business came tp the notice OF the
police. Some Of the cases were clearly
not violations of the law. so it was said
yesterday. because the business was
being done in places holding hotel licenses.
The Liquor Dealers Association was
informed on Saturday from Police Head
quarters that observation showed that
saloons in town we're becoming lax in their
observation of the provision regarding
exposed bars The association was asked
to look things up.
Last night Oh the Fast Side the bars
seemed to be fairly well open to public
view. but it was clear that back room
business. if active bartenders were in
dications. was brisk. In many places
they drew their fagons about as usual
and 1t was clear to any passerby 0hat
was going on in the back rooms.
