quest was received by President Roose-

Association OF Machinists of Washing
ton, d. c., for an interview with him
here regarding the granting of Satur-
day half-holiday to the machinists OF
the Washington Navy Yard during the
summer months The half-holiday, by
direction OF the President, was given
the machinists last summer, with the
understanding that the time off should
be taken by the men when it would not
interfere with the regular work of the
yard This year the Secretary OF the
Navy decided that the condition OF the
work al the Washington yard was such
that the half-holiday could not be grant
ed. The appeal OF the men to Presi-
dent Roosevelt was taken in the belief
that he might order again that they be
given the half-hoiday in common with
the department employees in Washing
ton.
In response TO the request OF the com
mittee for an interview the Presiden
referred the members to Secretary Bon,
aparte, informing them that the Secre
tarys determination OF the matter.woulC
be final, and that he himself must de
cline to make il a subject OF review.

TEN six inches OF the pin was found
imbedded in his breast, part OF it actu-
ally in the mans heart. The piece Of
pin had begun to rust, and the phySi-

long When taken to the hospital from
lodging house Montgomery said he
received the wound by accident, claim
ing that woman with whom he had
been in a cafe had slipped and pushed
against him as she was pinnlng on her
hat, causing the wound.
It is now thought that perhaps the
wound was received during a row at
his home in Sandwich early in the even
ing on which he was taken 10 the hos
pital. Canadian officials say that Mont
gomery's wife has been missing since
the night of the row and is supposed
