TAFT MAKES A RECORD
 WITH HIS 25 VETOES
WHEN HE DIsAPPRoVED THE WOOL BILL HE ESTABLISHED
 RECORD FOR HIMSELF.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-When Pres iient Taft yesterday vetoed the wool bill he has stamped with his disap- proyal the twenty-fifth legislative measure sent to him from congress during his administration.
 Although most of his vetoes have been on comparatively unimportant schedules, during the special congress session last summer President Taft began to wield the pen against meas ures regarded by the legislators with great interest Four of his vetoes have been of tariff bills. His one other veto of importance last year was directed at the joint resolution admitting Arizona and New Mexico to statehood This bill met with ex- eeutive disapproyal because of the provision in the Arizona constitution allowing the recall of judges.
 In addition to the wool bill, the president has returned one other i'm portant measure at this session--the army appropriation bill-which, as il passed congress, would have legis- lated General Leonard Wood out o office March 4, and would have made radical changes in the army. Already however, he has planned enough ve- toes for this session to add hal dozen to the present record
 The vetoes of the steel tariff bil and the legislatiVe- -pXtscutiVe- iudicia appropriation bill, with it's amendment abolishing the commerce court, vii be sent to congress early next week Messages returning the proposed cot ton revision bill, and the excise ta' bill, will be prepared when congress sAnda Ihnlaa Ia thn ,uhita hnmsa

long after was 75 miles away" said I Sehepps.
 Schepps has a story to tell that will be invaluable to the work of District Attorney Whitman. He seems to know it all. He declares that the confessions of Rose, Webber and Vallon have not been straight, and in his letter to 1 Rose he tells him that the story must be strengthened ont or he will not join in it.
 Then he tells his interyiewers that he had rather be dead than go back to New York and that he is up against hard tough proposition. Asked as to where he got the money that he is alleged to have paid the mtffderers of Rosenthal to get out of New York with, Sohepps hesitates. He is not prepared to tell that He wants to talk to everybody first. He wants to get between" where he ! claims he has always been, but his l talk indicates that by the time he gets back and goes over everything, | he will make a breast of it all. l Fear of the police and fear of the i district attorneys office is almost equal with Schepps. His arrest indi- cated that. Postmaster Frei Johnson had received circulars of the men, de scriptions, and had been watching. To day when he stepped out in front of Schepps, Johnson said;
 'iSchepps, want you to come, go upstairs with me- meaning to the | private office of the postmaster,
 What for?" asked Schepps
 'W eli, they want you back in New York"
 Schepps needed no further coaching along that score nor did not try to hide his identity, but he showed fear.
 For Gods sake, don't turn me over to the police" pleaded Schepps. when he realized that he was in the hands of a federal officer.
 Why, the police here won't hurt you, volunteered Johnson. But that did not satisfy Schepps. Johnson was to have notified the New York police of the capture. until a New York American representative intenposed, and the ar rest now stands as a refugee held for lDistrict Attorney Whitman.
 The letter that Schepps had posted for Rose, was addressed Harry Smith 133 Third avenue, New York City" An enclosure was addressed For Jack R.
 This letter ran:
 Dear Friend Jack Your letter for warded to me and contents noted. All can say is l am mighty sorry it has turned out the way for you, dear old pal: however, at this stage, I can dis pense with sympathy as it cant help any now I have read very little about the case So far and 1 can't bear to think of it any more. When you asked of me I considered very care fully and looked at it from all sides and find I am IN VERY BAD, re gardless of the leniency you say Mir

Something of how Schepps regards the situation is taken from a dialogue between himself and Captain Howell late last night
 Looks like had just about as well take chance out this window for a run" suggested Schepps.
 Well, it wouldn't be much chanee,' answered Howell"
 Would you shoot2'
 Yes And | can hit a rabbit run ming"
 Well then. will think it over. With the electric chair on one side, the gang and police on the other, and a bullet that would go straight and end it all here. it is hard to tell which Is best might and run and settle it here"
 Schepps, who was here under the alias of Samuel Franklin had just deposited a letter addressed indirect. " to Rose, in which he said that he would change address immediately, and that unless he heard from Rose on certain details, he would not be here later if sent for
 Driven to desperation through fear of capture and suffering from a lathsome disease, Schepps almost sui fered a collapse when arrested.
 T don't know what to do,' said iSchepps. Tt looks like either the Dutch route or squeal l am not q squealer don't know why they dld all this. Sometimes l don't give 2 damn. and am glad it is this far over l might as we'll be dead as driven from New York and eXiled in some other part of the world as a squealef If tell, couldn't live in New York. They wouldn't let me. And if l don't tell, God only knows what will be come of me, for l never sanctioned the killing of Rosenthal and only wanted to serve all my friends. They are all my friends
 This strain of talk was interrupted for a minute. when Schepps said "Doueherty won't get me. There IS nothing he can do to me but kill me and l guess they won't stand for that He cant chew me up. And Doughertl knows that know that he is the bis pyrotechnical display in New York and nothing more"
 Having in this vein. Schepps, latel after arrest talked freely about the situation in New York. He has beel fixer for years. It is charged against him that after the Rosentha murder he was harbored three days in the home of Lieutenant Becker. aFt CT which he was supplied with money to slip to "Whitie" Lewis and "Gyl the Blood to get away on.
 Schepp denies that he gave then the money

New York, Aug. 10.-"Jack" Sulli- van. who is under arrest in connee- ton with the murder of Herman Rosenthal, promised he would tell Monday all he knew to Police Lieu tenant Beckers alleged connection with the murder. Sullivan made thls statement to Assistant District Att toney Smith He was unwilling to tell his full story until he had seen Mir. Whitman, who Is out of town over Sunday, Sullivan said to Mr. Smith, but he said he seen Becker in conversation with Jack" Rose and "Bridgie" Webber a few hours after the murder.
 This corroborated stories of other N illnesses, indicating close relations between Becker and the men involved l in the murder plot. Sullivan denied, | however, knowing previously about the plans to kill Rosenthal, and also | denied that he had driven away in 1 the gray automobile in which the nlurderers escaped.
 He was on the scene shortly after the killing and went from the Hotel Metropole to "Bridgie" Webber's gambling house on Forty second street. He saw Becker and Rose con yersing on the sidewalk, he said q.ater they were joined by "Bridgie'
 and the three had low toned con

Hopes schepps Nav areI AII.o

New York. Aug. 10.-Sam Shepps who was arrested at Hot Springs, Is accused of having acted as paymastel to the actual murderers of Rosenthal but the authorities have sought him on the specific charge of murder, ac- cording to the police circulars. He disappeared after the murder, and although Bernard Sander, attorney for the Schepps family, said he would be able to have the fugitive surren der, he failed to do so. The lawyer teld District Attorney Whitman hs would advise Schepps to tell all he knew of the Rosenthal murder. If he succeeds in this, the district attorney believes Schepps will add materially to the evidence in the case.
 The arrest leaves only two men wanted in connection with the mur- der-"Gyp the Blood" and Lefty Louis. whose whereabout the police hope to learn from Schepas.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPIF

OF acquisition will reassert itself.
and purely selfish impulses will give
way to emulation in it's mildest
forms, skill, efficiency, intellectual
improvement, and all the varied
forms Of harmless acquisition.
The boasted liberty of-the- indivi-
dual that has landed US in a net
work Of inconsistencies that threat
ems the nations very life; and com
mltted to the lines of least resis-
lance we stagger forward to utter
imbecility the sport of Jesuit sug-
gestion on every mile of the greatest
Democratic Republic the ages have
yet produced.
Our church leaders have failed
badly to measure their obligations;
they lack force of character; and in
my opinion their day is over. Their
eloquence is forced and their
thought is jaded--of course there
are exceptions. If the Protestants
acted logically they would take the
church realty sell it and establish
an insurance fund for entire Pro-
testantism, all charitable requests to
go exclusively to this fund, and
swelled further by municipal, State
and National aid All other churches
being compelled to do likewise, thus
forever aboIishing the spectre of
poverty from the family iresides of
the nation.
In conclusion, however, after all
is said the historic fact shines forth;
that heretofore all Social readjust-
ments have been by cataclysmic up
heaval, over the self-imposed ruts
leyeled by blood and flesh.

DIR. JENKINS SUGGESTS A Ma
TIONAL CONVENTION.

Dear Sir: If you will pardon a
suggestion, 1 think it would be a
good idea for you and the Liberator,
and the Menace to call upon the
head officials of the Guardians Of
Liberty to call national meeting at
once and pass resolutions demanding
of Mr.. Wilson how he stands
on the complete separation of
Church and State. I see some writ
ers think that Roosevelt is going to
divide up the Democratic vote with
Wilson, and that Taft will get in
again.
Now to the average voter, we just
as well be delivered to Rome by one
party as another, as for myself l
shall winter my vote unless Mr.. Will
son publicly shows up that he is not
a Roman Catholic henchman.
Asking divine aid and blessings
upon you and yours.
Fraternally,
