ARMY MEASURE
AGAIN CALLED Up
IN HOUSE TO-DAY
Appropriation Bill, Minus
Objectionable Features,
Under Debate.

The army appropriation bill, minus
the conference provision eliminating
Major General Wood and several other
army officers as possible chiefs of staff.
and the provision for a commission to
determine which army posts shall be
abandoned, was taken up in the House
today Congressman Simms acting as
Speaker In the absence of Speaker
Champ Clark.
Two hours debate was agreed upon.
Chairman Hay, of the Military Affairs
Committee introduced the bill, minus
the features added in conference, yes
terday, but could not obtain immediate
consideration.
The bill as 1t now stands cuts the
number of cavalry regiments from fif-
teen to ten, cuts off appropriations for
twenty-five existin army posts, givgves
the Secretary of War authority to with
hold appropriations from any other posts
he wishes to abandon. provides that all
army enlistments shall be for Ave years
instead of three as at present, consoli-
dates the offices of quartermaster gen.
eral, commissary general and army pay
master, provides for a reduction of maj
ors in the quartermaster's corps to
forty-six, requires the consolidation OF
the office establishments of the adju-
tant general, inspector general and the
chief of STAFF and makes a number OF
other changes to which President Taft
| entered objection in his veto message.
Chairman Hay stated briefly that the
President In vetoing the bill and many
| others was attempting to reduce th'
| House and Senate to. mere engine tt
register the executive will.
Congressman Kahn, of California, as
| serted that the bill invited another vetC
| because 1t carried many of the provis
| ions to which the President found spe
cific objection He read at length from
| the veto message, laying special stres
| on the fact that the President object
| ed to a reduction in the strength of tn
War College and the reduction In tn
Philippine constabulary, both OF which
! provisions are retained in the measure
The bill will probably go 10 confer
ence after 1t passes the Senate an
possibly the identical course pursue'
once before will be retraced. However
| to bear upon the conferees, II they ar
inclined to replace in the bill the anu
| Wood provision and the army pos
commission, to divorce the two PROPOSE
tons.
It is almost certain that the .percor
nel of the army post commission WI
not again be selected by conferee!
This act, attacked as presumption
aroused the ire of members who Other
wise were favorable to tho provision
inserted in the bill in conference.

were accentuated by this development.
It took three days for the Baltimore
convention to organize, in which regard
its experience was close akin to that
of this years Republican convention.
Southerners Withdraw
Moreover as soon rs 1t had organized,
a large proportion of the Southern dele
gates withdrew, thus providing further
parallel to the Chicago convention Of
this year, in which the Roosevelt peo-
pie made their long and desperate fight
over organization and, when defeated,
refused further to participate in the
deliberations.
This Baltimore convention. being final-
ly organized took two ballots for Presi-
dent, and in the second named Doug

AS already stated. the southern dele.

convention, because they did not APP

the slavery issue. These boilers, to-

So much for the historical parallel
suppose Baltimore In 1912 gets into the

cannot nominate. There are two pos.
sible courses.
One is to take a recess as the Charles

using upper peninsula copper have
filed complaint with the Interstate
commerce commission resarding nc
rate on copper on the Duluth, South

The complaints were originally laic
before the state "ailroad commission
but were transferred to the federal
officials because 1t affected interstate
rates.
The Detroit manufacturers asseri
that The rate does not permit them
10 compete with their eastern rivals
because the rate is not equally distrib-
utcd. '"hcy admit The rate Of IS cents
is all right between the upper PENN
