Russian Giant Received.

Feodor Alexioviteh Machnow. the biggest
man in the world in point OF feet and inches,
was received by President Roosevelt at the
White House yesterday afternoon This
tremendous piece of flesh, nine feet three
Inches tall and weighing three hundred and
sixty-hve pounds, got to Washington in the
afternoon with "Parson" Davies, the old
sporting hacker Accompanied by his wife
the giant went to the White House and sa t
In the room of Secretary Loeb. Machnow
and his wife were not overly bright, and on
their way TO Washington from New York
TO which they returned last night, they were
exceedingly nervous, the woman being
afraid that her husband was about to be
kidnapped.
The President greeted the giant with his
usual cordially. although compelled to
stare at him out OF the ordinary so as to
take in his full length.
After the interview the giant frequently
referred to the President as the king" and
said he looked much like the Emperor of
Germany

Delegations Visited the President in
Their Behalf Today.
TRAINING SHIP FOR LAKES
Representative BoutelI and Captain
Purdy, Commanding Chicago Naval
Militia, Ask About One.

The action OF President Roosevelt In
ing July. August and September to the
employees of the Washington navy yard has
caused a request upon him for similar ac-
ton on behalf of the employees of the
Brooklyn and all other navy yards and
arsenals.
The President was today visited by Repre-
sentative Calder of Brooklyn, Representa-
tive Roberts of Massa chusetts and Repre-
sentative Dawson of Iowa. They asked the
President to grant the same favor to en-
plcyes of all navy yards. They said that
navy yard employees everywhere would be
delighted to be put upon the same footing
as other employees OF the government and
would appreciate an order from the Presi-
Gent that would give them the same rights.
The President said that he regarded the re-
quest with favor. and asked Secretary Loeb
TO take 1t up with the proper officials and
see II ne really had authority to issue such
al order.
The President informed his callers how
ever. that he would not issue a half-hon-
day order except upon the understanding
that the employees should not charge double
pay on holidays they might be required 70
work for the government. Under the pres
ent rules navy yard or arsenal employee
who may have to work holidays is al
lowed double pay. The President said he
did not consider this fair, If he gave half
holidays on Saturdays through three
months of the summer. If he found no
said that double pay was asked he would
revoke any order he might Issue

Government of Printing Office.


Government printing office employees saw
the President today and submitted a re-
quest to be granted Saturday half holidays
during the summer months. The deIega-
ton. which was introduced by Representa-
tive William Allen Smith of Michigan con-
sisted of T. c. Parsons, w. F. OBrien, +.
{. Roberts, E. ]. Hall. G. G. Seibold. A. Ii.
Watkins and E. NJ. Novels. The President
told the delegation that he saw no reas on
why they were not entitled to the same
privileges as navy yard employees, and that
he would take the matter up at once ana
see what he could do. He intimated mis-
belief that he would be able to issue an
order that would give the employees a hair
holiday the same as other government en-
ployes.
