Affected Chances Of General Funston
and others-6Il Once Vetoed for
Same Reason.

Washington. Aug. 22.-Under virtual
notice from President Taft that he
would again veto the army appropria-
ton bill if it contained any riders
affecting the tenure Of office of Cen
eral Wood, chief Of staff. the house and
senate conferees today struck from the
bill a contemplated provision to that
effect and presented a report free from
the features upon which the president
based his first veto.
A rider" which affected the tenure
Of office not only Of General Wood,
chief of staff of the army, but Of Cen
eral Funston and others had been dis
covered, 1t is said, in the new army
appropriation bill and would have re-
suited in it being vetoed If it passed
both houses. The original bill was
vetoed because it would have legis-
lated General Wood out Of office.
The rider was contained In
clause the house and senate conferees
agreed on regarding the service rec
ord necessary to make an officer
eligible for chief of staff, and admin
istration officials notified the con-
ferees on authority Of President TAFT
that the bill surely would be vetoed II
it again contained such provision.
The provision Of the house for
five-year enlistment was modified to
provide for a seven year term. four
years Of which shall be active service
ana three years reserve. All the army
posts would be retained as they now
exist. The house receded from its at
tempt to reduce the cavalry strength
to five regiments.

make the fight before the legislature
for repeal Of the Blanchard anti-com-
pact act under the guise OF adopting

il will be necessary for some agency or
authority to determine what are fair
rates in order that agents may not give
unfair rates, and thus rate-fxing Will
be legalized and competition will be
ended. The circular declares that the
insurance people should continue to Ia
Dor for favorable legislation and urges
that they take hand In politics and
see that men are elected to Office In
this state who are favorable TO the In
surance business. 1t Is also intimnted
that they make take hand In the
legislation proposed for employers IL

WILL SIGN PANAMA BILL.
Believes Necessity More Pressing Than
English Treaty Rights.

Washington, Aug. 22-Presldent
Taft will sign the Panama canal bill
the bill granting free passage thru
the canal to American ships engaged
in coastwise trade. The president main
tains the United States, in his judg-
ment, has the right to grant free pas
sage to American ships under the
terms Of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
tho he does not deem it a particularly
wise step to exercise this right without
making such right clear to England, In
view Of the latter's protest.
He will sign the bill because he be-
lieves it provides for government of the
canal and canal zone. These fatures. he
holds, are more important now than
that Of treaty rights. He will hold
when he does sign the bill that the
progress of the canal depends on this
Hesitation and that the question Of
treaty rights can be settled at some
future time.
The president will affix his signature
to the bill just before the expiration of
the ten days allowed him under the
constitution to sign bills before they
automatically become laws. He Will
hold off this long in the hope that
congress will take different view OF
the recon mmendation he made to con-
gress about joint resolution setting
front Just what are the rights Of the
government under the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
Congress refused to act on the pres
ident's recommendations at this time.
Those members of the house and SEN
ate to whom the president looked for
aid in the adoption Of such measure
were not able to force the proposition
out Of committee.
Most of the senator's to whom the
president looked for support were op-
posed to the passage of the bill on the
ground that the United States, under
the terms of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, did not have the right to dis
criminate In favor Of domestic ship
ping. Their contention has been upheld
right along by the British government

Woodrow Wilson was in happy frame
Of mind today. He strolled across the

his secretary, Joseph Tumulty, who
was surprised to see the governor, who
was walking hatless.

know I've never seen the inside OF it,
The governor has been so engrossed
in work in the summer capital since
his nomination that he has never found
time to visit the busy office a few
yards away, where a corps Of clerks
and stenographers have been at work
handling some Of the candidates mall
When the governor came out he
stood for moment looking across the
Level meadow where the national
guardsmen were gathering for rifle

he suggested q game of catch.

Infamous Tactics in California.

Taft Lieutenant Accuses johnson OF
Infamous Tactics in California.
Washington, Aug. 22.-After con-
ference with Senator John d. Works
Of California. yesterday regarding the
political situation in that state.
Charles D. Hilles, chairman OF the re-
publican national committee. issued the
following statement:
- Governor Johnson and-h crowd are
going to try and capture the title and
emblem Of the republican party and
place candidates for electors on the re-
publican ticket who will vote for the
candidates on the progressive ticket.
We regard this as distinctly dishonor-
able.
"Mr. Roosevelt has renounced his re-
publicanism and has left the republi-
can party. Governor Johnson and his
followers, under the election law
passed this year, will make oath OF
their intnetion to support the republi-
can, while as a matter of fact their In
tention is to vote for the candidates OF
another party. This is downright per-
jury.
Il think men who are known to IA
yor the candidacy Of Roosevelt should
be challenged at every polling place in
California when they tender their bal
lots as republicans. All we are asking
in California is justice. which ought tc
satisfy Governor Johnson. and any
thing short of this should result In
protest by the public. No republican
can prevent the withdrawal OF Gov
ernor johnson and his crowd from the
republican party. but republicans car
resist the bold attempt OF Governor
Johnson TO steal the machinery Of theii
party and thus make it impossible tt
cast their votes for Taft and Sher-
man."
Chairman Hilles remained over ir
