TAFT vETOES ARMY MEASURE
President in Message Indicates Dsap-
provaI of Provision Which Would
Gust Mai. Gen. Wood.

Washington, d. C-The president
has just vetoed the army appropria-
ton bill. He returned the bill to
congress with message Indicating
his disapproval of the legislative pro-
vision which would oust Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood of the office of chief of
staff on March a next. In his mes
sage 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
of legislation. AS was pointed out by
the chairman of the senate military
committee, it is we'll known that the
war college and the general staff have
been for many months engaged upon
comprehensive plan of army reor-
ganization. At the present time,
therefore, it is especially inappropri-
ate, in my opinion, to force upon the
statute books legislation enacted with
out the usual deliberation and care.
cannot conscientiously surrender the
responsibility in shaping such laws
with which / am vested under the
constitution. 1 therefore return to
your honorable body without my ap-
proval the said bill"

THEIR MOST JOYOUS MOMENT
OF the Trio, Probably Representative
Redfield Had the Best occa-
sion to Smile.

The talk In one of the cloak rooms
of congress, turned to the thought OF
the happiest moments in ones life.
Senator Bailey said his came the day
he wore his first pair of trousers. And
Paul Howland of Ohio declared his
big moment of Joy was when he was
permitted once to drive chariot In
pony and dog show parade.
Representative Redfield, who is a
wise chap, even If he does hail from
Brooklyn, said 1t was when he was
going to school and trying to master
long division. Three or four aisles
over from where he sat a boy yawned.
1t was not an ordinary yawn, but one
of such genuine expression OF feeling
toward things in general that it at
tracted Redtield's attention. He was
fortunate in having 2 paper wad right
at hand, ready for any emergency,
apd he aimed this at the boys caver-
nbus mouth The wad went right
square into the goal and-well, Fourth
of July fireworks are tame to the
stunts that boy did in the next few
minutes.
He says ne almost smiled once on
shipboard when the vessel gave a
lurch and threw a platter full of
beefstead, gracy and all. over the
open-fuced shirt front of a pompous
passenger across the table.

TWO DIE IN STRIKE RIOTS
MEN SHOT DOWN WHEN THEY
ATTACK SMELLING PLANT.
Others of Mob Who Are Armed With
Clubs, Axes, Crowbars and Fire
brands Are Wounded.

Perth Amboy, N. with two
men killed and two dying, thou
sands of strikers and sympathizers
rioting all day and 400 special deputy
sheriffs sworn in to try to control
them, the situation last night was one
of the gravest that the city, county
and state authorities ever have had
to face.
The first outbreak of the day, in
which one man was killed and two
mortally wounded by the Pinkerton
guards. occurred at the plant of the
American Smelling & Refining Co. A
mob of 1000 strikers charged the
fence which surrounds the property
and which was held by 200 armed
guards. About 10 a. m. a portion of
the mob rushed at the fence on the
west side of the plant, yelling and
brandishing clubs and other weapons.
Many carried firebrands and others
had axes and crowbars.
A dozen guards saw the charge and
shouted to the mob to keep back or
they would fire. The strikers took no
notice of the threat. The hail of
stones continued and the fence was
soon blazing from the firebrands. An
other force of strikers at the same
time attacked the fence near the gate
house with axes and tried to cut their
way through.
Again the guards warned the mob
away, and again their warning was
disregarded. Suddenly there was a
report, quickly followed by dozen
more. Some of the guards fired high,
but others shot to kill. The mob halt
ed, wavered for an instant and then
fed, leaving three men behind them
on the ground. One was Steven Burs-
chak, laborer employed in the smelt-
ing works, who was shot through the
neck and killed.
The second clash came at $3.50 at
night when one man was killed, one
badly wounded and a score of others,
including Sheriff Bolschweiler, slight.
Iy hurt during battle in front of the
smelling plant, where the morning
riot took place. A mob of the strik'
ers, several hundred strong, had made
an attack on the plant and the guards
for the second tip,> during the day
fired on them.
Tony Baruta, a la5orer, was shot
through the head and killed.

AV|A7RIX MEETS DEATH
WOMAN IS KILLED WHEN HER
RlPLANE uPsETs.
Craft Catches In Trees and Female
Driver Is Dashed to Ground
Under Wreckaqe.

Springfield, Ill.-Miss Julia Clark,
obtain license as an aeroplane pilot,
was killed here in the wreck of her
biplane. She is the first woman in
America to be killed while flying and
the second woman in the world to
meet death while driving an aero
plane. Apparently her death was due
to inexperience in handling aircrafts.
From all accounts, it seems to have
been avoidable.
In the face of advice to the con-
trary, she went up when it was almost
dark and attempted short turn. Her
craft caught in the trees near the field
and was upset, dashing the woman
to the ground under the wreckage.
Her skull was crushed. She died in
an ambulance.
Miss Clark was 23 years old. In a
note which she left in anticipation of
an accident she asked that her body
be sent to Denver for cremation. She
had been interested in aeroplanes
ever since she heard that Miss Quinn
by was flying at Mineola last year.
For the past two years she saved the
money she earned as a stenographer
in Denver and determined to become
an aeroplane pilot.
Early in January she turned up at
the Curtiss aviation school in San
Diego and asked Instructor Nicolas
key to let her join the school, Cur
tiss is very strenuously averse to wo-
men aviators and told McClaskey to
refuse. But Miss Clark persisted and
through the friendship Of Mrs. Curtiss
managed to overcome Curtiss' objec-
tions and on May 10 she took her
license and few at an altitude of more
than 1000 feet. Later she Joined

ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

sour little boy Gilbert was troubled
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like, The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the. Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 8s3, West Point, Neb,

and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed

rural districts are being depopulated

character of the warfare overshadows
the property losses and so shocking
are the details in many instances that
they are unprintable.
Instead of civilized warfare it is
annihilation and a majority Of those
being killed are not insurrectos but
unarmed blacks who took refuge in

the trouble started. Defenseless boys
are being shot down on the only prov

Sends Splre Through Roof.
When the tornado, cutting a path
a block wide through GAINESVILLE,
struck st. Thomas church, it tore the
spire loose and sent it crashing
through the roof on the heads of the
congregation.
There priest, the Rev. Father
Roach, became hero. AS huge blocks
of masonry hurtled down from the
broken walls and timbers fell from
the roof among the worshipers, he
stood calmly in his place and directed
the flight of his panic-stricken congre.
cation. The spiritual shepherd be.

whose members he saw conducted
safely through a rear door of the
church.
But there remained two of that
flock stricken to the floor of the
church. To them the priest turned
his attention, needless of the debris
falling about him every second, and
of the furiously lashing rain which
followed the sudden roar and crash OF
the quickly passing tornado.

1t is estimated that 500 houses in
GAINESVILLE were damaged, so families
rendered homeless, and that the loss
is 100000. Hattie Lee Huff was in
