WOOD SAVED BY TAFT
PRESIDENT REFUSES TO SIGN
BILL OUSTING GENERAL.
Returns Army Appropriation Measure
to Congress With Message Presag
ing Action on Commerce Court.
Washington. June 19.—The presi
des!: vetoed the army appropriation
bill.
The president declares it repeated
ly has been pointed out by his prede
cessors that the practice of attaching
legislative riders to appropriation bills
is dangerous.
The veto leaves the army without
an appropriation for its maintenance
for the next fiscal year, unless con
gress hurries through a single appro
priation measure without the legisla
tive features. It also saves General
General Leonard Wood.
Wood from being ousted from hi* of
fice as chief of staff after March 4
1913. and prevents reorganization of
the army as provided in the bill.
In his measure sent to congress with
his veto the president criticized the
appended legislation in the bill reor
ganizing the army and causing
changes which he held should be
done by independent legislation and
not included in the bill appropriating
for the army.
