Washins, on. June 17.-Prcsident Taft
bill. carrying provision to legslate
Major-General Wood out of his office as
chief of staff The President returned
lhe bill to the House with a sharp mes
sage on the proprlety of attaching special
legislation to an appropriation bill.
Chairman Hay of the House military
affairs committee, who had been one of
,he leading sponsors for the special feat
ares OF the bill, retorted with public
statement in which he charged the Pres
dent with misstatng the facts in con-
nection with tho bill in his veto message,
and alleged that the President had vetoed
the army bill to pave the way for veto
of the legislative, executive and judicial
uppropria don bill which carries a provi-
sion to abolish the commerce court. Pres
ident Taft has told friends he will veto
that bill also.
So, now, the army bill rests In COM
tnittee and the ar-my's appropriation for
the coming year will be unprovided for
until 1t is repassed without the features
To which President Taft objected or until
81 resolution extending the appropria-
lions of the present year to the next
j. put through.
While President Taft did not mention
Najor-General Wood by name, he made
1t plain that one Of his principal reasons
tor the veto was the provision to legis-
late that officer from his position. The
president pointed out that the llmita-
lions imposed upon the incumbent of that
pffice by the terms of the bill would have
DISQUALIFIED many of the armv's most
brilliant officers.
Tho President also objected to the
provisions which would have removed
officers Of the Philippine constabu-
lary, tho Panama Canal work and the
bureau of insular affairs
The President condemned tho bilrs

real fight came over a minority re-

welcomed by the democrats of Yer
