President Roosevelt yesterday We
toed bill authorizing payment Of
$4,000 to Albert P. Alfonso, q small

suffered in an accident allegedly in
volving a mail truck.
The President, returning the bill TO
the House said the sum vas too large.
If the bill were drafted to allow an
amount more commensurate with the
actual expense and injury sustained"
he added, he would sign it gladly.
Assuming that there was negli-
gence on the part of the driver Of
the Government truck, which is oues-
tionable,' the message said, the pay
ment of $4,000, in a case Of this kind
where no loss of services is involved.
must be predicated on the possibility
that the injuries sustained by O.
year-old child will result in per-
manent impairment of health and
earning power upon maturity.
IF, as may we'll happen. the in
jured child, now apparently recoy-
cred though not in robust health,
should in the course of a few years
have arrived at condition of nor
mality without more expense, the
payment of the sum involved In this
bill would constitute. In effect,
gratuity to the parents Of three or
four thousand dollars"
