ernoon he was disposed to bark at
folks who came In TO ask him cues
tons about the roller skate procession.
His ideas, however, will be taken up
In higher circles. A well defined
movement among leading statesmen is
said to be under way for having sena.

large number of them have been de-
sirous OF skating to work for long

Of being thought singular. Now a
considerable number have agreed to
start the skating movement simultane-
