WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Presi-
dent Taft today returned to the house
with mis- veto message, the legislative

veto is sure to prolong TINS session Of
congress. Some leaders have propos-
e0 a plan to extend all of .ast years
appropriations to December 2, and
adjourn without passing the bill. Pres
ident Taft's message was strong in
condemnation OF the way congress
had attached special legislation to the
appropriation bill. When the reading
Of the veto was over Representative
Stephens OF Nebraska introduced a
resolution for the passage of any ve-
toed measure by majority veto. A
two-thirds vote by both houses is now
required.
Considering Presidential Term.
Senator Bacon today continued his
attack upon the use of the American
army and navy for Intervention in dis
orderly countries and offered bill
to restrict the use of these forces by
the president when congress was in
session without authorization by
congress. The disagreement between
the house and senate on the sugar
bill today indicates there will be no
sugar legislation this session. The
senate has agreed to take up at 4
o'clock this afternoon Works resolu-
tion for a constitutional amendment
providing a single six year term for
the president
vetoes Seven Year Service Bill.
President Taft called a special cab
met meeting today and read the veto
Of the legislative executive and jud
ial appropriation bill which has a.
mendments to abolish the commerce
court and limiting the tenure of civil
service employees to seven years.
Appropriations Extended.
Last years appropriations for the
condnct of government are further ex-
tended, this time to September 1 by
q resolution which passed the house
today and now goes to the senate.
The former extension resolution ex-
pired today.
May Pay Pension Bills.
The thousands of pensions held up
by disagreement over the pension bill
may be paid Saturday The house
today agreed to the senate's demand
to abolish the eighteen pension agenc-
les February 1st and passed the bill.
President Taft is expected to sign it
Immediately.

For Stock IN Publishing

FARGO, Aug. 15.-Charged with us
ing the United States mails In the ex.
ecutisn of a fraudulent scheme, two
representatives OF the Courier Pub.
fishing Co., until its recent sale last
week; NJ. N. Hatcher, business man.
ager, and A. M. Baker, advertising
manager, were arrested yesterday az
ternoon by the federal authorities.
The arrest was made by Deputy
United States Marshall Haggart. The
charges were preferred by the Post
Office Inspectors George II. Chase and
Carl Egge. The arraignment Of both
men will be heard before United
States Commissioner j. A. Montgom-
cry Friday, Aug. %. They were plac-
ed under bonds fixed at $1,000 eacn
which were signed by George H. Hol
lister anu A. Y. More.
The question involved in the allega-
ton concerns the recent subscription
contest conducted by the Courier.
News during the time both defend
ants We're actively connected with
the management Of that paper. Since
its recent sale only Mr.. Baker con-
tinues his connection under the new
management.
1t Is understood that another arrest
may be made as 1t has been reported
that warrant is out for man who
helped conduct the recent contest.
Wants Notes Made Good.
An action was brought in the dist
riot court by John o. Hanchett

500 and two promissory notes for
the purchase of ten shares Of stock
certificates at 500 per share, in the
above named company for the pur-
chase of the Forum Publishing Co.,

The plaintiff stated that no stock
certificates have ever been delivered
to him and he desires the return Of
the cash payment and the two prom
issOry notes as no purchase OF The
Fargo Forum was made.
In order to recover from the indi-
vidual members of that corporation
Mr.. Hanchett decided to change his
suit and asked for dismissal by the
court. The request was allowed with
out prejudice to the bringing of an
other action on the same dE11e. This
was signed by Judge Pollock this
morning and it is expected the other
action Dpndinp will he heard in the
near future.
Stambaugh & Fowler appear as
