NEW JERSEY BRIGADE HEAD
QUARTERS, Connecticut Maneuvers
Campaign, Aug. 15.-Through the
strategy of General Edwin w. Hine,
the New Jersey brigade successfully
| repulsed the Fifth. Sixth and Ninth
| Massachusetts infantry in a fierce
battle yesterday. 1t was a spectacu-
lar victory for the Jersey volunteers,
even the official umpires having ex-
pected that they would be forced to
retreat. 1t vas an expected defeat
turned into a victory.
General Hine following the engage
ment was complimented by the chief
umpire, General Bliss, for his mill
tary tactics. After paying his re-
spects to the Jersey commander Gen
eral Bliss stated that the Blues were
mo driven from their posts"
At daybreak the order was given
to break camp, and the New Jersey
brigade started for Walnut Tree Hill,
1t being known that the enemy, the
Reds. were in that vicinity. Most adj
vantageous lines of defense WIRE
formed by the companies of the First
regiment. under the command Of
Colonel Fraser. and the companies of
mel Brinekerhoff.
Reds Driven Back.
The Reds we're unable to stand the
rapid fire from the guns of Com
panies f and b, First Regiment, and
Company / of the Fourth, and were
driven back time and again. Before
the battle had been waged but a short
time the Sixth Massachusetts, Reds
were counted out by the umpires.
This means defeat.
With the exception of a few I'M
mounted scouts who were driven back
by the Reds not a single Jersey
company left its post. The First reg
iment was intrenched in the fields,
forming a left flank, which proved
to be the point of the severest at
tack by the enemy.
From the time that the Reds were
first sighted at 11:30 o'clock until 1
o'clock there was a steady fire. There
had already been several cavalry
skirmishes in the neighborhood, but
the umpires reported no casualties.
The battle was continued until 1t was
concluded by the umpires that the
Reds could not force a retreat ano
signaled to firing.
The Essex Troop, forming a part of
the Red army. routed a troop OF
Blues.
The New Jersey brigade will con-
tinue a retreat toward Bridgeport
or Danbury, where enrichment prob
ably will be made on Sunday for
home.
Jerseymen Kept Busy.
The first brigade of New Jersey
encamped last night at Stepney fol-
lowing the first conflict with the Red
army at Walnut Tree Hill.
The men of the First. Fourth and
Fifth egiments did some hard fight
ing and clever maneuvering With the
attacking Reds.
Each man had been supplied with
forty rounds of ammunition before he
left camp.
At daybreak yesterday the brigade
under General Hine. that had been
encamped since Saturday six miles
east of here. broke camp and began
a march toward Walnut Hill. The
knowledge of the presence of the
Reds in close vicinity and the antici-
patton of a battle lent an interest to

VETO HOLDS
Up HIS OWN PAY
Returns Legislative. Executive
and judicial Appropriation
Bill to House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-President
Taft today returned to the House
with a veto message the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill. because of its amendments to
abolish the Commerce our and limit
the tenure of office of civil service
employees TO seven years. The Cab
met read and approved the Presi-
dents message early today.
The Presidents veto is sure to ex-
tend the session of Congress, Some
members of the House believe the
bill can be passed over his disap-
prevail. as were the wool and steel
tariff bills. None of the leaders. how
ever. think that would be possible in
the Senate. One effect of Mr.. Tafts
veto of the bill today is TO hold up
his own pay, that of every 1sember
of Congress. every Federal judge and
every employee of the United States
courts. Some leaders have proposed
a plan of passing a resolution to eX-
tend all last years appropriation to
December . and adjourn Congress
without passing the bill.
MIR. Taft's message was strong in
its condemnation OF the way Con-
gress had attached special legislation
to an annual appropriation bill. The
President wrote that he approved any
system of promoting efficiency in the
civil service and favored a civil PEN
sion system. but he could not approve
any legislation to turn out Of office
employees who had given their best
years To the government.
The President defended the Com
merce Court vigorously and wrote
hat opposition came from those who
had not been in sympathy with its
decisions.
