vetoes Army Bill

yetoes Army Bill
 Washington. Juno 17.-President Teft today vetoed the army appropria- tlon bill carrying a provision to leg islate Major General Wood out of of fec as chief of staff. He returned the bill to the House with sharp mes sage on the propriety of attaching spe- cial Legislation to an appropriation bill
 Chairman Hay of the House military affairs committee. one of the leading sponsors for the special features of the bill, retorted with a public state ment in which he charged the Presi- dent with misstating facts concerning the bill in his veto message and all lcred the President had vetoed it to pave way for veto of the legisla- tive. executive and Judicial appropria- tion bill, which provided for abolish ing the commerce court. President Taft has told friends he will veto that bill also.
 Now the army bill rests in commit tee and the army's appropriation for the coming year will be unprovided for until 1t Is repassed without fea- lures to which President Taft objected or until a resolution extending the ap- propriation of the present year to the next is put through.
 Wood Not Specially Mentioned While President Taft did not man- ton Major General Wood by mama he pointed out that the Limitations sm- posed upon the incumbent of that off flee by the terms of the bill would have dfsnualified many of the army's most brilliant officers
 The President also objected to the pro visions which would have removed of ficers of the Philippine constabulary. the Panama canal work and the bureau of insular affairs
 The fact that a single provision of the bill can cause such serious conse- ouences.' said the President. offers fur ther evidence of the unwisdom of a method which deprives legislation of its usual safeguards of scrutiny and discus sion.
 The President condemned the bills pro- visions changing the enlistment term from three to four vears, calling them sorfrar to enlightened military policy and declaring they would make impossf- blei the establishment of proper re- serve. The proposed commission to re- port on the policy of army posts was criticised by Mir. Taft as obstructing rather than furthering solution of diff ficult problem Thers would be de- 1 ficiency under the bill in the pay of the army alone of more than s9.oooo00.

through local merchants. There is to
he n quarter of n mile of railroad trace
to handle materials.
The seven industrial buildings which
are being raised by the Concannon Com
pany under a $4,000 contract, have en-.
tirely changed the face of the map of
the Pearl Harbor reservation. They
are large buildings, and are nearly all
in position. The contractors afe TO
finish the work in July and viii prob
ably have them all completed. The
navy department furnished the struc-
tural steel for the buildings, the Con-
cannon Company contracting only to
put the steel in place.
The concrete composition which the
local naval engineers found to be right
for using in the Pearl Harder drydock
basin, has~been approved by the Wash
ington authorities and the drydock con-
tractors may proceed with the concrete
pouring again as soon as they are
ready. Engineer Francis Smith of the
San Francisco Bridge Company which
controls the contract, is expected back
here in the near future to supervise
the concrete laying. Mr.. Smith went
to the Coast to get laboratory tests of
the new concrete mixture.
Mr.. Gayler has not yet heard from
Washington, officially, as to the 200
foot extension to the drydock, making
the dock 1000 feet long. He has only
heard of the proposition through the
newspapers.

PRATT'S TESTIMONY
IS ATTACK" PROOF
SAYS TRUST COMPANY HAS NO
INTEREST IN THE MAHUKA
SITE CASE.

The testimony of the expert James
w. Pratt yesterday brought out the
possibility of some interesting develop
ments in the Mahuka site case before
the federal court. He stated that the
Hawaiian Trust Company has no inter
est in the matter and is not entitled to
damages.
In the cross examination of the wit
ness Attorney Warren, for the trust
company, endeavored to break down
the evidence given by Mr.. Pratt, but
he did not succeed in making any dents
in it. The witness testified that he
had ''tried'' to find some interest," of
the trust company in the property, but
had not been able to discover any,
This testimony United States District
Attorney Breckons found very satisfy.
ing. He says that the several parties
claiming interest knew in 1909 that the
site would be acquired by the govern
ment under condemnation proceedings,
and that they all took turns in boosting
it to a fictious valuation. First, the
Bank of Hawaii leased the property to
the Cooke estate at a greatly Inflated
valuation. The Cook estate thens.took
hand in. the boosting process and
leased it to the Hawaiian Trust. All
are now trying to cash in on the deal.
Mr.. Pratt's examination will be re-
sumed this morning.
Trent Case Goes Over.
The suit which was brought before
the district magistrate by R. H. Trent
against thirty or more members of the
police department was continued yes
terday until tomorrow afternoon. The
reason for the continuance was the i'll
ness of Attorney l.. NJ. Straus, repre-
senting the defendants.
Trent is suing for the collection of
various notes given to him by members
of the force on account of money adj
vaneed by him to liquidate indebted
ness of the Democratic Central Com
mittee outstanding at the close of the
last campaign. At that time some of
the old wheel horses among the local
Democrats, suggested that the members
of the police force would be delighted
to chip in to clear up the account. They
did their part to the extent of signing
proInissory notes ranging in amounts

were made PAYABLE to Mr., Trent ten
months from date.
