TAFT VETOES LIQUOR
SHIPMENT BILL
Senate Passes Measure Over Veto
Unconstitutional, Says the
President.

The expected happened and Pres
ident Taft vetoed the Webb liquor
bill, which in substance is the Ken
yon- Sheppard measure. The presi-
dent gave as his reasons for the &C
ton taken that the bill is unconsti-
tutional. Senator Kenyon led in the
senate the fight to pass the bill over
the presidents veto, and that was
done by vote of SO to 21. A Wash
ington special says:
Senator Kenyon was responsible
for pushing the matter to an immed-
late vote. When the veto message
was read, efforts were made to defer
consideration until tomorrow. Sen
ator Kern of Indiana, who will soon
be democratic leader, moved to let
the matter go over until tomorrow.
To this Senator Kenyon objected. He
pointed out that the president had
delayed sending in the veto until the
last moment, thus making the time
in which congress had to act ex-
tremely short. If the matter went
over until tomorrow. he said, 1t
would be almost impossible to get a
vote on overriding the veto in both
houses. Moreover, the bill had been
fully discussed and there was no
need for delay. g..
Senator Kenyon demanded roll
call on the motion of Kern to put
the matter over. On the roll call
the Kern motion was hopelessly
beaten. Then the vote was taken
on the question of passing over the
Iveto, with the result indicated.
The lower house is expected tt
take similar action. Senator Kenyon
was pleased with the outcome in the
senate. He said he believed the SUI
preme court would hold the measure
constitutional.
"The opinion of the supreme
| court last Monday in the white slav!
!. cases tends strongly to sustain TN
constitutionality of the measure,
Il said he. president Taft could no
i have read that opinion"
The feeling was pronounced II
, senate circles that President Tai
, purposely held the veto back to tn
last day of the ten days given hin
!, to act in order that it might be NOR
difficult to override the veto.

Raymond settled one for US once about
as quickly and decisiyely as any one

In the seventh and eight we had to

Frank Baker, of home-run fame

fessional engagement. Charley Herzog

err gives Herzog all the credit for his
development into a real star.
Here is what Baker says Of his ex-

Charley Herzog of the Giants. II
was who virtually discovered me and
made me a third baseman- l owe my
early training to him. Probably
should never have become a profess
sional baseball player II 1t had not
been for Herzog and man named
Preston Day.
IT was playing ball on an amateur
team In Trappe. Nd. where I was
born. with little idea of adopting base
ball as \ profession. liked the game
and played 1t continually during the
season

Day, to whom / previously referred.
happened to see me play in two or
three games and recommended me to
Herzog. who was the managing the
Ridgley team.
"Herzog sent for me. He offered
me SIS a week and my board. That IS
sounded like a million to me. That
was in 1906, and I was nineteen years
old.
when I joined Ridgley was an
outfieider. Like most youngsters. ]
had played every position on team.
but generally cavorted about the out
field.
AT Ridgiey, Herzog watched me
play. and decided that I was better
fitted to play the infield.
AT that time he was playing short
stop, and he needed third baseman,

the season there. and the following
year Joined the Cambridge. Nd. team.
