DISCUSS LEGISLATION
WITH THE PRESIDENT
Senator's Dubois and Heitfeld Express
Themselves as Satised With
Roosavelt,s Views

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Senators Du-
bois and Heitfeld Of Idaho were among
the Presidents callers to-day While the
Senators called primarily TO ray their re-
spects to the President, they incidentally
discussed with him legislation IN which
the West Is particularly interested. Presl-
dent Roosevelt laughingly recalled am in-
cident of the last Inauguration, when he.
as Vice President In the chair, and Sen
ator Heitfeld on the floor, were the only
persons In the Senate chamber. They
concluded the business of the day and on
notion Of the Idaho Senator adjOUrned.
The President also recalled the fact that
Senator Dubois is a graduate OF Yale,
and expressed pleasure that so many
Yale men were in Congress Senator Du-
bois replied that while he was Yale
man. he was a Democrat, and had called
to ask political favors of the President.
After the call tCth Senators expressed
themselves as satisfied with the Pres-
dents vie VS. On legislation for the West.
THE President remarked" said Senator
Dubois. that he was q Western man
himself I guess that is right.
Senator Dubois, who returns TO the Sem
ate after an absence of four years, is as
stanch a. Democrat now as he was q
vigorous Republican when he was elected
the first time. During his first term ne
was a member of the Republican steering
committee and secretary or the RepuOll-
can caucus, and because Of his experience
he is being urged by his Democratic as
sociates for a position on the Democratic
steering committee.

could realize what had happened she
leaped upon him and wound her arms
about his, neck in a strangling embrace
Inc frightened robber struggled desper-
ately TO free himself but was helpless in

apartment seized an icepick and came to
ner assistance. Others soon came from
various rooms. The burglar was bound

the fees they get for their expert
opinions are high.
1--WE have a number of mllionaires
in this city-and in New York and
Chicago there are others-who are
assiduous rug collectors. They hang
their walls with rugs, and certainly
those draperies are no less beautiful
than costly. The most valuable rug
in the world is in the South KensinT-
ton museum. | think that it is worth
100000. Age improves lese beautiful
things, softening their .olors and CIV

phere to their design. Many of the
notable ones are hundreds of years
old. They did not wear out in the
palaces and the mosques where they
were laid because no one walked upon
them with shoes on; they were prayer
rugs and were stepped on reyerently
with shoeless feet, the devotee then
ilneeling. OF course with such gen
tie usage any sort of rug would last
u long time. These, made of the
purcst woods and dyed with the finest
and costliest dyes, became more
charming as the years passed.

pha Record, "but moths will not at
