against poker games issued by Presi-

TAFT HAS VETOED
ONLY TWELVE BILLS
Old Grover Holds Record as
Worlds Champion

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29.-In hi:
two and half years in office President
Taft has vetoed more bills than die
either of his two immediate predeces
sors in their much longer service, anC
more than did most of the other Pres.
idents. He has blocked the passage OF
12 acts of Congress. No measures We're
disapproved by John Adams, Jefferson
John Quincy Adams, Van Buren,, the
first Harrison, Tyler, Fillmore or Gar
field. Washington employed the veto
only twice in his eight years in Office,
and Lincoln only four times, one Of
these being a pocket veto.
Jackson, who vetoed more measures
than all his predecessors combined, did
this only 12 times during his eight
years, or the same number of times as
Taft has already done. Most of Jack
sons were pocket vetOes. His employ
ment of this power so frequently
aroused the opposition of Congress and
had large influence toward welding
all the OPPOSITION elements-the Nation
al Republicans, the Anti-Masons, the
Nullifiers and the anti-Administration
Democrats-into the party which, in
1884, adopted the Whig name, That
party was force of considerable in
fiuence for 20 years, electing Harrison,
in 1910, and Zachary Taylor in 1S48.
Cleveland vetoed 343 measures, or
more than twice as many as all the
other % Presidents combined, and
301 of these were in his first term,
most of them being public building and
private pension bills. Grant used this
power 43 times; Johnson 81 times, and
Benjamin Harrison, 19 times. These
are the only Presidents who employed
the veto oftener than did Taft.

ALBANY TO own PLANT,
WORK TO BEGIN SOON
Municipal Gas Plant There is
Assured

Albany, Ga, Sept. 29.-That work
may be commenced at an early date on
Albany's proposed municipal gas plant
the city council has decided to adver-
tise for bids on the recently authorized
100000 improvement bond issue
$50, of which is for the gas plant.
Albany, though having an up-to-date
waterworks plant and electric lighting
plant, municipality owned; sanitary
and storm sewer systems, paved strets
and sidewalks, and many other i'm
provements, has managed to get along
without a gas plant these many years
because the citizens and the author
tiles did not want to deViate from the
principle of municipal ownership
Many times corporations wanted to
come into Albany and build a gas plant
but the city preferred to wait for this
convenience until the time was ripe for
the city to build, own and operate its
own plant.
Last June the people voted over
wheImingly in favor of a new issue OF
bonds to the amount of 100000, the
principal item being that proposed fol
the new gas plant.

Atlanta, Sept. 28.-To keep a white

ITALY and TURKEY

Rome, Sept. 29.-Italy has declared
war on Turkey.
The official announcemnt was
made this afternoon.
1t was declared that the two coun-

at half past two o'clock on the after
noon of Friday, September 80.
This is the hour at which the Ital-
ian ultimatum to Turkey expired. 1t
followed a session of the cabinet ut
which the Turkish reply was consid-
cred and found unsatisfactory.
Though every indication pointed to
this action by the royal government,
there was always a possibility that the
good officers of other governments
would be successful in avoiding hos
tility, and when the final decision of
the cabinet was announced the eX-
