NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS. RooeereK'i First Veto Metaaf*.

President Roosevelt sent bit first veto message 10 Congress. It was directed to the Senate, and the bill vetoed was the •ne removing the charge of desertion from the run-a! record of John Gbst. The meatagt was as follows: “There can be no graver crime than the crime of desertion from the Army or Navy, especially during war; it is (hen high treason to the nation, and is justly punishable by death. No man should be relieved from sufh a crime, Especially when nearly forty years have passed since it occurred, save on the clearest possible proof of his real innocence. In this case the statement made by the affiant before the committee does not in all points agree with his statement made to the Secretory of the Navy. In any event, it it incomprehensible to me that he should not have made effective effort to get back into the Navy. He had

served but little more than ‘ * ' ' the

when he deserted,

afti

-- — lasted for over a year afterwards, yet he made no effort whatever to get back into the war. Under such circumstances it seems to me that to remove the charge of desertion from the Navy and give him an honorable discharge would be to falsify tbe records and do — —* J “ *~
