thief Executive Makes Plain One of
His Principal Objection Is
Provision to Onst General
From Office.
WASHINGTON. June 17. Tbe Presi
dent vetoed today tbe Army appropria
tion bill. He returned tbe bill to Con
gress with a message indicating his
disapproval of thelegislative provision
which would oust Major-General Leon
ard Wood from tbe office of Cbief-of-
Staff next March 4.
In his message tbe President said
"The Army of tbe United States la
far too vital an Institution to the peo
ple of tbls country to ba made the vic
tim of basty or imperfect theories of
legislation. As was pointed out by the
chairman of tbe Senate Military Com
mittee, It Is well known that tbe W
College and the General Staf f have
been for many months engaged upon a
comprehensive plan of, Army reorgan
ization. '
Time Deemed Not Fitting;.
" "At the present time, therefore. It Is
especially inappropriate,' in my opinion,
to force upon the statute books legis
lation enacted without unusual deliber
ation and care. I cannot conscientiously
surrender the responsibility in shap
ing such laws with which I am vested
linger the Constitution. -
"I therefore returned to your honor
able body, without my approval, the
said bin."
The President did not veto the bill
because of any fault In Its appropria
tions, but because of legislation which
Congress had added. He declared the
praatice of attaching legislation to an
appropriation bill with the Intent of
depriving the President of "his constitu
tional power of veto, could not be de
fended. The President's flat declaration that
he was opposed to the enactment of
legislation as a rider on an appropria
tion bill was taken today as an indica
tion that he .would also veto the Legis
lative, Judicial and Executive bill,
which carries an amendment that
would abolish the Commerce Court."
Chairman Hay. of the House- Military
Affairs Committee, issued a statement
in which be accused the President of
misstating the' facts and resorting to
disingenuous arguments. Mr. Hay de
clared the President had vetoed the bill
to give himself vlid -reasons tor veto
ing the Legislative bill, which con
tains the provision to abolish the
; Commerce Court.
- Committee Has Bill.
. -Jtie Army bill rests In committee and
J the Army's appropriation for the com
r Ing year will be unprovided for until It
Is re-passed without the features to
which President Ttft objected, or until
a resolution extending the appropria
tion of the present year is put through.
While President Taft did not mention
General Wood by name, he made It
plain that 'one of his principal reasons
for the veto was the provision to leg
islate that officer out of his position.
The President pointed out that the limi
tations imposed upon the Incumbent of
that offle by' the terms of the bill
would have disqualified many of the
Army's most brilliant officers.
The President also objected to tbe
. provisions that would remove officers of
the Philippine constabulary.
" The President condemned the bill's
provisions changing the enlistment
terms from three to four years, calling
them contrary to enlightened military
policy and declaring they would make
Impossible a proper reserve.
Commission Not Favored.
The proposed commission to report on
the policy of Army posts was criticised.
ay Mr. Taft as obstructing rather than
Furthering the solution of a difficult
problem.
There would be a deficiency under the
H1 In the pay of the Army alone of
nore than (2,000.000. The " economy
slalmed for the bill, the President said,
was arrived at merely by failure to ap
propriate mora than 13,000,000 which
will be needed before the end of the
coming year. " .

L goose, iinllke any species ever before
seen in California, fed in the chicken
yard of H. M. Thomas, a farmer resid
ing near Montague, Siskiyou County.
Thomas discovered a small nickeled tag
attached to one of its legs, tied secure
ly by a strand of copper wire. Rough
ly, but legibly, chiseled Into the face of
the tag was the announcement of the
pole's discovery on July 1, 1906.
For nearly six years Thomas kept
the secret to himself. Whether be
cause he doubted If the tale would be
received with credence by the outside
world, or from a passive Indifference as
to his discovery, Thomas did not di
vulge his And. But the facts are as
above related. He did, however, cap
ture the goose and discover the tag.
Both are still in existence. The bird
remains on the little farm, which now
has passed into -other hands, and the
tag is In the possession of Thomas, who
recently moved to San Mateo County.
A REAL MARVEL IN COLORS
Tints In Yellowstone Park Geysers
Dne to Plant Life.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
That the harmonious and brilliant
tints In the geysers and hot-spring
pools are due mainly to plant life is
Dne of tbe Interesting statements made
n a publication entitled "The Geolog
' ral History of Yellowstone National
ark," just Issued by the Department of
he Interior. Algae flourish equally
veil In the waters of all geyser basins
ir.d on the terraces of Mammoth Hot
Springs. Wherever these boiling waters
wo to the temperature of 185 degrees
.lgous growths appear and by the low
irtng of the temperature on exposure to
:ir still more highly-organized forms
rradually come in. It is said that at
ibout 140 degrees the conditions are
favorable for the rapid growth of sev
eral species. The development of plant
life at such excessive temperatures and
on a scale of such magnitude seems
xiarvelous thing. Nowhere else can this
be seen so well as In the Yellowstone
Park.
As the water in shallow pools chills
apidly, corresponding changes In color
ollow. No life exists In the center.
where the water is boiling. On the
uter edge certain colors prevail, and
n the cooler overflow channels still
ther colors predominate. In a geyser
asln. the first evidence of vegetation
n an overflow stream .consists of
;reamy white filamentary threads pass--r.g
into light flesh tints and then to
leep salmon. With distance from the
lource of heat, the predominating col
irs pass from bright orange to yellow.
'ellowish green and emerald, and in
he still cooler waters various shades
f brown.
The marvelous colors in the Grand
Canyon of the Yellowstone are mainly
lue to mineral matter, the pigments
eing derived from the lavas. Along
he base of the canyon thermal and
wlfataric agencies have been at work
hrough long ages, slowly but steadily
leconiposing the rhyolite rook that
orms the walls. Upon the buttressed
rails and sculptured amphitheaters
lots of green and yellow are inter
nlngled with red, the colors being
tended with singularly harmonious ef
ects. From the roaring turbulent
1ver at the bottom to the somber
,'reen forests at the top, the abrupt
vails seem aglow with color.

PLACER VILLE, Cat, June 17. War
ner E. De Larm died here SaturdayJn
a hospital under the assumed name of
D. E. Williams. He eutd been employed
by the Western States GaS & 'Electric
Company as a carpenter. Before "Wil
liams" died he handed to one of the
nurses at' the hospital a slip of paper
on which was fritten' "Frank Green,
228 Henry Building. Seattle, Wash." A
search of his. effects showed him to be
a member of the Masonic lodge at New
port, Vt. The local Masonic order,
through inquiries to Seattle, has re
ceived instructions from the Rev. R. H.
Sibley, at Clarksville. Mich., to prepare
the body for shipment to Clarksville.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 17. 'W. E.
DeLarm. promoter of the Columbia Riv
er Orchard -Co: and its allied corpora
tions, which sold f5,000,000 of bonds
now entirely worthless, died at Placer
vllle, Cal., last Saturday, according to
a dispatch received here today. De
Larm was a fugitive from Justice, hav
ing been Indicted at Portland, Or., for
using the malls to defraud.
The dispatch telling of De Larm's
death was received by his former at
torney, Frank E. Green, who has known
of the promoter's wanderings after bis
flight from Seattle. The telegram was
received only a few hours after a let
ter written by De Larm, in which he
made a pathetic appeal for aid, say
ing he was destitute. The letter begged
for money to take him back to his rel
atives in Massachusetts.
De Larm, accompanied by his beau
tiful young wife, appeared In Everett,
Wash., several years ago, and imme
diately began to organize manufactur
ing companies and to sell stock to the
people with - whom he became ac
quainted in a social way. The com
panies always failed, but De Larm ap
peared so honest that the Investors har
bored no 111 will toward him. After
exhausting his -credit in Everett, he
came to Seattle and organized the Co
lumbia River Orchard Company, the
Washington Orchard, Irrigation & Fruit
Company, and allied concerns, and sold
bonds to small investors through vari
ous land companies.
According to De Larm's story, he sold
the bonds to the land agents for what
he could get, and the agents disposed
of them at par, frequently- exchanging
them for real estate. Where De Larm
himself exchanged the bonds for real
estate or mortgages, he disposed of the
property to money-lenders at enormous
discount. According to the testimony,
De Larm had no business capacity, and
the enormous profits of his get-rich-qulck
companies enriched shrewder
men. When an Interest payment on the
bonds fell due list February, De Larm
'could not pay the coupons, nor could
je meet other obligations of the com
pany. De Larm olosed his office and
fled. Mrs. De Larm went to Michigan
and her husband to California, both
under assumed names. De Larm was
on the verge of nervous prostration
when the crash came. His first stop
was In a Santa Monica hospital. Then
he went to San Francisco, to Sacra
mento, and finally to Flacervllle, where
he died of paralysis.
De Larm Is believed by United States
District Attorney McCourt to be alive.
Mr. McCourt says he also received In
formation of De Larm's supposed
death, but believes It to be a hoax and
is Investigating it.

Vanguard of Huerta's Forces Fall
In Attempt to Pass Insurgent
Front at La Crnx and Go '
North to Bachimba.
AT THE REBEL FRONT, La Crux,
Mexico. June, 17. Three times today
2000 federal cavalry under General
Rabago, forming the vanguard of Gen
eral Huerta's forces, pressed north to
ward this town, only to meet the stub
born resistance of the rebel front under
Colonel Antonio Rojas.
The third attempt to pass LaCruz
and move on Bachimba, V miles north,
where the rebel main army .Is gathered,
resulted In failure.
Skirmishes which began yesterday
along the Conchos River were resumed
at noon today, with the result that In
less than two hours the federals had
retired. Neither side lost heavily,
though the fire was at times heavy.
The government troops had several ma
chine guns in action and the rebels
used effectively a 70-millimeter cannon.
General Fernandez, of the rebels,
began the fighting along the Conchos
River Just outside of this village. Rein- I
forcements were soon sent to him. Gen
eral Inez Salazar although ill, left his
bed, personally to direct rebel ma
neuvers. The rebel force composed 1500.
The main federal columns of S000
men are at Santa Rosalia, only nine
miles from the scene of today's fight
ing. The rebels fought from positions
in the low hills east of the Mexican
Central Railroad and from ditches. The
federals were entrenced In front of
the town.
OREGON'S IEN DIVIDED
THIRD DEGREE .WANTING
New Ways of Securing an Admission
of Guilt From Criminals.
What is believed to have been the
first demonstration in a Court of Jus
tice of the Munsterberg theory of crimi
nal detection by heart pulsations took
place not long ago In a California court.
The demonstration ended in the dis
charge of Arthur Smith, a metal worker,
who had been arrested aa a suspicious
character. .
The theory and the proposed test
were explained to the prisoner, who
readily consented to be a party to the
experiment. Tbe stethoscope was ad
justed and his normal pulse was tested
and found to be 79 beats a minute.
Certain words were then spoken to
the prisoner, who was asked to reply
to each with a word suggested by the
one asked. This was done for the pur
pose of testing the claim of, Professor
Munsterberg that words spoken to men
under arrest, especially those pertain
ing to the crime with which they might
be charged, would cause tham embar
rassment in' answering and would pro
duce accelerated action of the heart.
The word San - Quentin, where the
prisoner was- suspected of having
served a term, -caused no acceleration
of the heart and demonstrated his in
nocence according to the theory.
When Interrogated as to his assumed
name of James Smithers his heart ac
tion iacreaaed to 91 beats a minute. On
being charged with not having told
the truth In this particular the prisoner
gave his correct name and address.
If an actual photograph of the heart
action is desired it may be obtained by
the aid of a machine which Dr. E. A.
Newton, a German scientist. Is said to
have invented. It portrays accurately
the pulsations of the heart muscles and
the action of the valves and discloses
all Irregularities, however slight. Ac
celerated action of the heart resulting
from the emotion of fear arising from
guilt would be disclosed In a charac
teristic series of leaps and bounds
which are quite diverse from the pul
sations due to the influence of love or
Joy.
A New York dentist advocates laugh
ing gas aa a substitute for the police
third degree. He believes that this.
the least dangerous of anaesthetics,
lays open what already is In the mind,
unconscious of the search 'for Its se
crets. He believes that if a man who
has committed a serious crime should
be questioned about it during a certain
stage of recovery from nitrous oxide,
or laughing gas anaesthesia, he would
not only reply, and truthfully, but half
a minute later he would realize truth
fully what he had said.
An Interesting experiment upon a
prize fighter of International reputa
tion, who was one of his patients, was
made by the physician administering
the nitrous oxide. As the patient was
recovering from the anaesthetic and
had reached the point where he began
to break away from complete uncon
sciousness the physician began count
ing distinctly. "One, two, three," and
then the patient tooK up the numDers,
saying. "Four, five, six rm all right
and ready," acting upon the Impression
that he had been knocked down in tne
ring and must show tha't he neverthe
less was qualified to meet the require
ments of the situation. When he had
recovered he said the experience was
most vivid.
It is claimed that this method can be
used to extract the truth from persons
charged "with serious crime, that they
will make! a confession under the ni
trous oxide partial anaesthesia, and on
recovering full control of the senses
will realize what they have done ana
will give the full details. But no "con
fession" will be made lr tnere is noi

CHICAGO, June 17. (Special.) An
effort was made to hold a meeting of
the Oregon delegates to the Republican
National Convention this afternoon, but
Delegate Ackerson had not yet reached
Chicago and Delegate Carey was nuable
to be present. On this account the
meeting was adjourned until tomorrow
morning, when the chairman, secretary
and members of the various convention

It is an open question whether the
delegation tomorrow will select a new
National committeeman or postpone the
selection of the successor to Ralph
Williams until after the convention
nominates the candidate for President.
Delegates Campbell and McCusker are
urging that the National committeemen
be chosen now, but other delegates are
suggesting delay on the ground that
the committeeman should be chosen in
harmony with the party nominee.
Those who are holding out for delay
argue that if Taft is renominated a
