Presidents Veto Threat
Defeats Its Purpose
.Bu James T. Williams, Jr.-

President Roosevelt'S ulti-
matum to the Senate that he
would veto the independent
offices appropriation bill if it
carried the Steiwer-Cutting
amendment restricting to Is
per cent reductions in the
compensation of veterans actual
ly disabled in the war is believed
to r. without precedent in the
annals of the Senate.
When delivered on the floor
by the majority leader of the
Senate, this ultimatum created
such CONSERVATION that it prob
ably changed enough votes to
bring about the adoption of the
amendment which the PreSi-
dent opposed.
The question of the amount
which should be taken away
from those surviving heroes of
the war who will carry the
wounds of that conflict } the
grave became for the moment
secondary.
The main question was the
crack of the White House whip,
which echoed from the ulti-
matum that a veto would follow
the adoption of an amendment
the only purpose of which was
to save wounded heroes and the
widows aid orphans of heroes
killed in action from a reduc-
ton in compensation that
would compel them to accept
the bre d of charity.

wealth." its eminent author.
the late James Bryce, in dis
cussing the veto power, says:
''Most Presidents haze en'-
pLoyed it sp0ringly, and only
where they felt either that
there tOGs. a case for delay, or
that the country Would support
them against the majority in
Congress. PerUerse or head
strong Presidents h0Ve been
generally defeated by the use
of the two-thirds UOte to pass
the bill OUer their objections"
During his eight years as
President, George washington
vetoed only two bills. From
his day until 1880 his success
ors in the Presidency vetoed
only seven.
Andrew Jackson was de-
nounced by his opponents for
his more frequent use of the
veto power upon the ground
that his exercise OF this power
was opposed to the spirit OF
the Constitution"

sparing Use

One of the chief causes of
the American Revolution was
the arbitrary use by George the
Third of the power of vetoing
bills passed by Colonial .egisla-
lures.
On this account the Trainers
of the American Constitution
were extremely careful in fixing
the conditions under which a
Presidential veto might be en-
ployed.
And the history of the PreSi-
dency shows that the expecta-
ton of the Fathers in regard
to the infreQuent use of the
veto power has in the main
been realizAd.

it was placed in the National
Cemetery, and for that reason the
Government has a legal right to
dispose of it.
Explaining the low sale price
as compared with the original
cost, Col. Charles G.. Mortimer, Of
ficer in charge Of the cemetery,
who approved the sale, explained
that it was "a matter Of getting
the mausoleum removed rather
than getting its proper valuation" !"
$4,000 to Move
It will cost between $4,000 and
5000 to remove the mausoleum
and set it up again, Colonel
Mortimer said.
The sale was conSummated only
10 days after the Dewey heirs had
given their permission for the
sale, it was letrned.
Robert r. Dye, superintendent
of the Arlington National Gene
terry. is also a director of the Co
lumbia Gardens Cemetery.
Commenting on this, Colonel
Mortimer said:
'It was thruOgh Mr.. Dye that
we found some one to take the
mausOleum off our hands. 1
am grateful to him for his
help"
The War Department first took
steps to remove the mausoleum in
1880, but protests by Mrs. Dewey
caused the matter to drop.

FEAR EX-M|DDY
KILLED SELF

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 16-Police
are searching the bay today for
trace of Herman Keith Legare,
former midshipman, who is feared
to have lost his life here Satur-
day night.
Legare disappeared from the
boathouse he maintained here
Saturday afternoon, leaving 8
note in which he threatened sui
eide. He left all of his effects, in
cluding his car, to Robert
Hatcher, son of Major Julian S..
Hatcher. He is believed to have
then taken a boat from the boat
house and rowed out into the bay.
The boat was found Sunday
morning past the lighthouse. The
oars had been carefully placed
back in the boat, but there was
no trace of any occupant. The
note telling of his planned at
tempt was found by Major
Hatcher Sunday morning. The
major also identified the boat
Legare is believed to have used.
It was brought into the harbor by
a fisherman.
Legare, a graduate of the Naval
Academy, attempted to take his
life in January. He later designed
the boat used by three former
midshipmen to attempt to sail
around the world. His father
lives in Georgetown, S. C.

The bronze mausoleum, which
held the body of Admiral George
Dewey in Arlington National
Cemetery, has been sold for $3.50
and will be taken to Columbia
Gardens Cemetery, Lyon Park,
Va, it was disclosed today.
With the name Of one Of
Americas greatest naval heroes
and blasted off the bronze doors,
the mausoleum will be used as a
receiving vault for bodies in the
public cemetery.
The Dewey mausoleum, which
was erected at cost estimated
from $4,000 to $35 900, has stood
empty for several years since the
body of the admiral was moved
to its final resting place in the
Washington Cathedral.
Government Property
The admiralS body was moved
to the Cathedral in 1925. On the
death of Mrs. Dewey several years
later, a codicil to her will was
discovered in which she directed
that his body be taken back from
the Cathedral and placed with
hers in the mauSoleum.
Executors Of the estate disre-
garded this codicil and she was
buried beside the admiral in the
Cathedral crypt.
Although the mausoleum was
purchased by the Dewey family, it
became Government property when

Francis Long, IL, Missing Six
Days; Autopsy Has Cause
of Death, Drowning

Francis Long, 12-year-old
newsboy, whose lifeless body
was taken from the Washing
ton Channel yesterday, six
days after he disappeared,
came to his death by drown
ing.
That was the verdict of DR.. c.
j. Murphy today following an
autopsy performed on the boys
body at the District Morgue.
Immediately after this verdict
was given, police renewed their
search for the owner of a green
canoe found floating in the chan
mel at the foot of Twelfth st. S.
w. last Thursday, only few
feet from where the body of
the boy came to the surface yes
terday.
Believes Him Slain
So far no report Of missing
canoe has been lodged with
harbor police.
Despite the finding of the au-
topsy, John Long, father of the
youth, is convinced that his son
was slain.
The father pointed out that
the boy could not swim and was
afraid of the water, and feels it
unlikely the boy would willingly
go into the canoe.
DR.. Murphy said he found no
marks of violence on the body
and though there was only little
water in the lungs, it was suf-
ficient to cause death. Blood
tests will be made to check the
verdict, the autopsy surgeon said.
Near a Canoe
The body of the youth will be
taken to Baltimore today and
funeral services will be held there
tomorrow.
The body of the boy came to
the surface yesterday only a few
feet from where the canoe was
found. Frank Nightingale, a
launch owner, saw the body and
notified police.
It was taken to the morgue
and identified as that of the
youth who dropped from sight
after he left his home in the
1900 block Tenth st. N. W., to
make collections on his news
paper route.

Highest Tribunal Loses First
Round in Battle; 0ran
Argument Next

George Crawford, colored,
alleged slayer of Mrs. Anges B.
Ilsley and her maid, Nina
Buckner, near Middleburg, Va,
almost two years ago, today
lost the first round in his battle
in the United States Supreme
Court to prevent his extradi-
tion from Massachusetts, to
Virginia for trial.
The Supreme Court denied his
petition for a review of his fight
in the lower courts, on the
groun dthat negroes are barred
from juries in Virginia-the
groun don which Federal Judge
James A. Lowell, in the court
Of original Jurisdiction, held that
he was not extraditable. Low
els ruling was late sregerSed by
a. higher court. 'A'''-' ~-''''''
Oral Argument Next
Following the denial Of his pc
tition for review, Crawford's case
will be set for oral argument.
The ruling of Judge Lowell ex-
cited nationwide comment and oc-
casioned much indignation in
Virginia, certain members Of
whose delegation in Congress
sponsored demand that the
judge be impeached.
Lowell's attitude was that Vir-
ginia Disseminated agai S t
negroes in jury service. and that
hence Crawford could not be ex-
tradited. This was viewed not
only as an insult to the State of
Virginia but as constituting acts
beyond the power of he court.
The impeachment proceedings in
stituted against Lowell are now in
the process of investigation by a
congressional subcommittee
Mrs. Ilsley and her maid we're

GENEVA, Oct. 16 IN.S.),
The reasons given by Germany
for her precipitate withdrawal
from the disarmament con-
ference were ruled invalid to-
day by the general commits,
sion, which then voted to ad-
journ until October 26.
The commission formally ap-
proved a letter written by Arthur
Henderson, chairman Of the con-
ference, for communication to
German Foreign Minister Baron
Konstantin Won Neurath.
Three Decline to Vote
In a surprise move, however.
Soviet Russia, Turkey and Poland
abstained from voting on the let
Hungary placed herself in the
same situation as Germany but
without withdrawing from the
League by declaring the treaties
binding her must be taken into
consideration in any further dis
armament discussion.
Poland abstained from voting
in protest against the big powers
attempting to "settle everything"
by themselves.
M. Dovgalevski, Russian dele
gate, declared Soviet Russia was
not a party with the big powers
in negotiations with Germany.
The Polish representative voiced
a similar opinion but said he
had no objection to the letter
being sent.
Reasons invalid"
Henderson replied to the Polish
delegate, insisting that Poland
was a member Of the steering
committee. Col. Joseph Beck,
Polish Foreign Minister, remained
1r the corridor during the discus
sion, taking no part in the pro-
ceedings.
The letter expressed regret over
Germany's withdrawal "for rea-
sons which I cannot accept as
valid" The reasons were listed
as follows
/. That the conference can
not achieve it's desired results.
2. That heavily armed ma
tions are solely to blame for
Germany's withdrawal.
3. That it is impossible for
Germany to attain her much
desired arms equality under
present circumstances.
For the present Henderson asked

tered circumstance" only to take
