Speaker Says He Holds the

CHICAGO, March Presidency

General Fred d. Grant to-day When
asked If he had been correctly under

he declined to toast the President OF
the United States at the st. Patr1cks S

statement made with reference to my remarks
at the banquet last night. l had beeh lhNlteu
to attend and to speak at the irish FeiloWshlp

ident of the United States. and when arose

on the subject NV excuses were that l was
not permitted by the regulations to discuss the
President or other civil officers and reminded
them of the disaster that had befallen some

Another was that l did not know anything
about the Presidency, meaning thereby that l
had not studied up the usual platitudes given
to the office, and third, that was no orator.

report is published in the papers, which would
draw the inference that l referred to the pres
ent President, for whom | have the Warmest
admiration and with whom have had mos.
agreeable personal acquaintance. His kind and
thoughtful consideration upon the occasion OF
the death and burial of my mother has given
me a personal attachment for him which viii
never grow less, and anything that would be

ONE MAY NOT RECOVER
Flames, Supposedly of In
cendiary Origin, Partially
Destroy a SchOOlhOuse

CHICAGO, March 1S.-Six f1remen
were severely injured in a fire of sup
posed incendiary origin which burned
the old Holden School building at
Loomis and Thirty-first streets. One
man may not recover.
All the injured firemen were on the
third floor of the burning structure
when the roof fell in upon them. The
fire started on the third floor and by
the time the first engines arrived the
entire upper part of the building was
in flames. 1t was feared the fire would
spread to the new school building ad-
joining, which is twice the size of the
burned structure, but by hard work
the flames were confined to the upper
floors.
The old Holden School building was
erected at a cost of $4,000. The
new structure cost more than $780,
900. The new building was damaged
by water.

Senate After Long Contest
Confirms Presidents
Appointment.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-GeneraI
Leonard Wood was to-day confirmed to
be a major general by the Senate, the
from August s, 1903, the day President
Roosevelt made the promotion. The
contest against his confirmation began
on November 19, 1908, soon after Con-
gress convened in special session, and
continued through the present session
until to-day.
When death removed Senator Hanna
from the opposers of General Wood
only two Republicans remained in the
minority. They We're Senators Scott, a
member of the Military Affairs Com
mittee, who opposed the nomination
while 1t was pending in committee, and
Senator Kittridge
Five Democratic Senators voted with
the majority in favor of. confirmation.
They were Senators Cockrell and Pet
tus, members of the Military Affairs
Committee, and Senators Patterson.
Clarke of Arkansas and Dubois. The
negative vote on confirmation was as
follows:
Bacon. Berry. Blackburn, Clark OF
Montana, Culberson, Gibson. Lattimer
McCreary, McLaurin. Mallory. Martin,
Money, Newlands and Simmons. all
Democrats, and Kittridge and Scott
Republicans.
Senator Foraker moved to make the
vote public, and Senator Blackburn
moved to make public the testimony
had before the Committee on Military
Affairs Publishing of the testimony
was voted down. and a general under
standing prevailed that the vote was to
be given out.
When the Senate convened to-day
Senator Foraker was approached by
the opponents of General Wood. 1t was
admitted then that the contest against
confirmation was lost and there was
nothing to be gained by carrying the
case over to-day. An agreement there
fore was reached whereby no more
speeches were to be made.
Dependent on the confirmation o1
General Wood were 167 promotions fol
other army officers. These have beer
held up since the nominations were
made by the President, but now will bt
| confirmed without opposition. They
| include twenty colonels promoted to bt
brigadier generals on the retired lis
and one brigadier general on the active
! list, and officers ranking from colone
| down to second lieutenant. All thes'
nominations, as well as that of Gen
eral Wood, were sent TO the Senate
the beginning of the special session II
/ November and lapsed when that ses
sion closed They were sent to the Sen
/ a+a iYo171ediateIv at the beginning of TIL
regular session.
A controversy arose as to whethe
they were reappointments, and also a
to whether the promoted officers wer
entitled to the rank and pay of tn
grade to which they were nominated
AS all no doubt will be speedily con
firmed, according to military authority
they will take rank and pay from tn
time they were first appointed to fl
vacancies.
