Mr.. Taft believes that the office
having been created, the President
should be left untrammeled in his Sc
lection. as commander in chief of the
Iarmy, of the man who is to carry out
his commands. There is also objee-
ton to the designation by name of
members of commission to report on
the location and distribution of milf
tary posts which are required within
the continental limits of the United
States
There are numerous precedents for
the veto of such legislation In fact
naming Major General Ainsworth as
the head of the record and pension di-
vision Of the War Department twenty
years ago, and it was only when Con-
gress passed the bill with Ainsworth's
name left out that the bill was APP
proved and Ainsworth appointed to
the place.
In The bitter charges and counter
charges by those for and those oppos-
ed to the army bill as it stands, it is
declared that Major Gen. Ainsworth,
who retired to escape court martial
proceedings, and his friends in Con-
gress deliberately upset the organiza-
ton of the army by injecting legisla-
ton for the sole purpose of getting
even" with Secretary of War Stimson
and Major General Leonard Wood
chief of staff. An effort to reconsider
the Senate action with reference to
the chief of staff limitations was un-
successful by vote of IS to %.
The holding up of the army appro-
priation bill viii tie up the pay of all
officers and men of the United States
army. numbering about 10000, 1t also
would tie up all construction work and
purchasing of supplies and equipment.
Troops, in case of war, would be un-
able to move unless the railroads and
commission merchants would trans
port and furnish ratiens on credit. The
most disastrous thing perhaps in the
event of veto OF the army bill would
be the tying up of all military works,
including the Panama Canal.
But the passing of the army or leg
islative bills over the Presidents veto
is questionable possibility. Judging
from the votes against Major General
Wood and in opposition to the Court
of Commerce, it would be impossible
to muster two thirds vote TO reverse
the contemplated action of the Presi-
dent.
To meet possible exigencies Senator
Gallinger of New Hampshire has come
to the rescue with joint resolution
extending all appropriations for the
fiscal year until such time as Con-
gress may enact the regular appropri-
alton bills In this case, however, the
resolution must pass both houses be-
fore adjournment or great embarrass
ment would be caused.

SHOT TO DEATH FROM AMBUSH

Wednesdays Humboldt Star says
tn at word reached Winnemucca
that monring that Peter Laux was
shot and killed Tuesday afternoon
at the camp Of Kennedy, in the
southern part of Humboldt county
and about Is miles from Winnie
mucca. The shooting occurred at
the Gold Note mine aud is believed
to have been the result of a feud
that has existed there over the
ownership of the property. The
news of the killing, giving only
the meager details, was brought
to John Guthrie's. ranch near
Kennedy, by relative of Laux.
From that place a courier reached
the Sonoma ranch last night and
this morning Frank Guthrie ar
rived here end notified Sheriff
Lamb of the homicide.
About all that can be learned Of
the killing at the present time is
that Laux was in possessi n of the
Gold Note mine, the ownership of
which is also claimed by other
parties. Lately there has been
considerable wrangling over the
property and hot words have been
used.
Tuesday afternoon Laux was
sitting near the portal of one of
the tunnels on the property, when
fusilade of shots was fired from
ambush and Laux fell over ap-
parently dead. The relative then
rushed to the John Guthrie ranch
and told of The shooting. He did
not stop to examine the body, but
from the position in which it was
lying on the ground, he was
satisfied that Laux was dead.
He could not state who did the
shooting, as the party or parties
who fred the shots could not be
seen.
Shortly after the sheriff's office
was notified of the killing Deputy
Sheriff C. w. Muller, District
Attorney J. A. Callahan, Coroner
j. T. Dunn and DR.. Mangan left
for Kennedy in one Of the Havi-
land & Hoskins autos.
An inquest will be held, if
necessary, and a complete investi-
cation made, and it is expected
that more definite news of the
shooting will be received here
some time tonight.
Laux has been q resident Of
Kennedy for several years. He
leaves a wife and child.
