Prest ient Roosevelt today s'-nt his Hr>t veto message to congress It was directed to the senate and the hill vetoed was one removing the charge of desertion from the naval record of John Glass. The mes SUg? WHS MS follows: ''There can be uo yiwver crime than the crime of desertion from the army or navy, especially during war; it is then hi-h treason to the nation and is justly punishable hy^j death. No man should be relieved from such a crime especially whon nearly fort yenta have passed since it occurred, save on the clearest possible proof of his real inn cenee. In this case the statement mad* by the affiant befere the committee do** Dot in all point* agree with hit statement made to the secretary of the navy. In any event it u incomprehensible to me that he should not have made effective effort to get hack into the navy. He had served but little more than a month whvn ho deserted, and tho war las ed for over a year afterwards, yet he made no effort whatever to get back into the war. Under sueh eircumetancea it seema to ruo that to remove the charge of desertion from the navy and give him an honorable discharge would be to falsify the records and do an injustice to his i;all tat ana worthy comrades who feught the war t? a tinish. The names of the veteians wh* fought in the civil war make the hener list of the republic and I am not willing to put npon it the name of i man unworthy ef the high posi lion. "Theodore Roosevelt." After the message had been deivered Senator Gallingei, from he committee on naval affaire, end the report of tho committee ?ri which the senate acted. From his statement it appeared that ila<H enlisted in January, 18t?4, vhen only 10 years of uge, and hat, having witnessed an act vbich compromised the second >flicer of the ship, he was taken Lahore in March of that year by hat officer and told not to report igain for duty. The committee ay this order together with ilnss' youth was responsible for lis desertion. Fifty Years in Pulpit. Special to The Stato. Greenville, March 11.?On last Sunday morning Dr. T. M.
