TAFT VET0ES ARMY BILL

vision 10 legisIate Major General
Wood out of his office as chief
of STAFF. The president returned
the bill to the house with q
sharp message on the propriety OF at
tach!ng special legislation to an ap-
preparation bill
In his message the president said:
The army of the United States is
far too vital an institution to the peo-
pie of this country to be made the
victim Of hasty or imperfect theories

the chairman of the senate military
committee, it is well known that the
war college and the general staff
have been for many months engaged
upon comprehensive plan of army
reorganization.
AT the present time. therefore, it
Is especially inappropriate, in my
opinion, to force upon the statute
books legislation enacted without the
usual deliberation and care. I cannot
consciously surrender the responsible
lty IN shaping such laws with which
am vested under the Constitution.
|. therefore, return to your honorable
BODY, without my approval. the said
bill"
The presidents fiat declaration that
he was opposed to the enactment of
legislation as rider on an appropria-
ton bill was taken as an indication
that he would also veto the legisla-
tive, judicial and executive bill, which
carries an amendment that would
abolish the commerce court.

menace to our republican institu-
lions has been averted
''It is not necessary to speak of

TWELVE MEN DIE
IN MINE BLAST
Explosion Occurs in Workings
Near Trinidad, Colo.
"WINDY SHOT" IS BLAMED
Rescue Equipment Is Rushed TO the
Scene From Trinidad-Two Amer
leans and Ten Foreigners Are the
Victims of the Tragedy.

Trinidad, Colo, June 22.-Wednes-
day nights explosion in the new mine
of the Yictor-American Fuel company
at Hastings sent u men to their death
The disaster occurred shortly after
midnight. The mine is Is miles north
of Trinidad and belongs to the Vic
/ tor-American Fuel company.
The first body was recovered short
ly before four o'clock, and later four
more were taken out. All were burned
/ badly. Among the bodies recovered
were those Of John Thomas, fire boss,
and Pete Miller, the only Americans
killed. The other ten victims were for
eigners. 1t is thought there may be
more dead in the mine
The main slope caved in and res
| cuers were hampered in their work.
Rescue equipment was rushed to the
mine from Trinidad.
Mine officials believe the explosion
was caused by a windy shot" which
set off quantity of gas. The explo-
sion took place in the new slope of the
/ mine, acknowledgements work is in
progress. The men who were in the
night shift were shot-frers and entry
men.
The explosion took place near the
face of some new workings. No con-
cussion was felt even in the vicinity
of the mine and the first warning Of
the disaster came when night watch
man saw smoke issuing from the
mouth Of the new slope.
Superintendent Cameron and party
succeeded in locating a number Of
bodies behind heavy falls. Those not
killed outright died soon after, Cam
eron believes, from suffocation. The
wrecked slope is slowly being cleared
of poisonous gases.
Rescuers who entered the mine re
turned soon afterward with Greek,
who was burned severely. According
to the mine superintendent who came
out after a hasty investigation, both
the main slope and the new air course,
the only means of exit, are caved.
The Hastings mine is one of the
largest producers in the southern Col
orado fields. The main portion of the
colliery has not been damaged.

come National Progress
siVes" ---PIans for a
Formal Meeting.

Chicago, June 22.-The third par
ty is here. An hour after William
H Taft had been renominated by the
republican national convention to-
night Theodore Roosevelt was the
nominee of the national progressives,
assembled in Orchestra hall
A little later he had accepted the
nomination and had asked those who
assisted in launching the new move
ment to convene again in six weeks
and ratify their Endorsement of his
candidacy.
The fight was on. 1t was Roose-
velt's answer to the national repub-
lican convention.
Assembled in Orchestra hall were
the delegates who had been instruct
ed to come to the republican national
convention and nominate Roosevelt.
With them were the contestants
whose causes had been thrown out
| by the national committee.
They were determined, enthusiast
tic and they were fanked by a great
gathering of Roosevelt supporters,
a shouting, cheering, singing, scream
ing, defiant crowd that could say
but one thing, we want Teddy"
1t was a simple ceremony but most
significant when viewed in its reIa-
ton to the country's affairs.
A resolution was passed uominat-
ing Roosevelt. He spoke in reply &C
cepting it.
The proceeding was marked by
wild enthusiasm.
The party was born. Gov HadIey
of Missouri, Gov. 'Deneen of Illinois,
Gov. Stubs of Kansas, Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho and Sen
ator Bristow of Kansas were con
spicuous for their absence, but the
crowd cared nothing. 1t gave neither
thought or heed to them.
The people in the hall-men and
women aIike-felt they were able
to make the fight themselves and
they were content. And when the
nominating resolutions had passed
and Col. Roosevelt had taken the
platform, it seemed as if human
strength and human voices could do
no more.
They showed it when Roosevelt
said: Z accept the nomination"
Pandemonium is mild term fo1
