TAFT TLEAVES HOME
 FOR THE CAPITAL

Beverly, Mass, August 13.--With. his veto message on the Flood resolution for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico into the union practically com nlete. President Taft brought his week. end visit here to a close tonight. The President left Beverly tonight for Bos- ton in one of the White House au- tomobiles and the message went with him. He is scheduled to reach the canital tomorrow morning. The mes- sage may be sent to Congress during the day. Only a desire to revise 1t slirhtly after consultation with admin istration leaders is likely to postpone it's presentation to Congress until Tuesday if that body is in session.
 The presidents veto is understood 10 he based largely under the provision for the recall of the judiciary provided for in the Arizona constitution.
 To the New Mexico constitution tee president is understood to have no par- ticular objection but the Flood resolu- ton so couples the two territories that a veto must affect them both.
 The wool revision veto message mas not been started but outlines or It are in the Presidents mind. It was said here tonight that the second veto should reach Congress before the emu of the week.

 Chattanooga fans have supported their club much better than the club and the management deserves. They turned out the biggest opening crowd of any city in the league. That per formanee itself shows that the people there are vitally interested In the teams welfare, Now, with an interest of that caliber to back them and n club which individually looks better, or at least as good, as anything in the south. the moguls of the Chattaaooga club have laid down on the job. They have not shown the fighting and pro gressive spirit. And in justice to the players let it be said that no mattog what they may be doing while they should be keeping training, the fault is not more than ne-fourth theirs. With an able man to lead them. a man who would hold them together an(l make them play for every game, that Chattanooga team could and would be a pennant- winner.

WINTHROP AGAINST USE OF NAVY VESSELS

Washington, August 13.-Acting Sec retary of the Navy Winthrop has dis approved the proposition now before Congress to transport the body of Dr. Theodore Ruggles Timby on a naval vessel from Brooklyn to Washington for burial in Arlington national cemetery.
 Friends of pr. Timby based their re- quest on the claim that he Invented the revolving gun turret for naval ves- sels. They cite as a precedent of John Ericsson, the builder of the first moni- tor whose body was sent to Sweden on the cruiser Baltimore in 1890.
 The use of a warship to transport the body of Ericsson, MT. Winthrop says in letter to the chairman of the House naval committee, was an inter- national courtesy and should not be regarded as a precedent. The depart ment. also suggests that if the claim of pr. Timby's friends were recognized II might later form the basis of request on Congress for an appropriation In recognition of the services which they claim he rendered to the government.

 .Conventions have already been called sn the recognized manner-provisional or der-for the selection of candidates in four out of the seven Alberta oonstiru- encies and in two of them nominations have already been made" said MT. Oliver, Tn due course such a convention will be called for the Edmonton electoral district. When 1t is called I shall be glad to sub init my name as a candidate for nomina- ton. In the meantime I do not propose to pay any attention to special arrange ments made to secure indorsenient for the candidature of any certain man, even though it be called convention.
 , sT may say that I do not think the effort to defeat reciprocity in the Edmon- ton district by holding bogus conventions will succeed"
 The anti-Oliver forces are endeavoring to have Oliver supporters sent to the convention of August Is from the out lying districts, with the intention of nam- ing both Oliver and former Premier Rutherford and then of giving the nom ination to Alberta's ex-premier.
 The opposition to Oliver is very strong but the rural districts may save him.
