NOT LIKED BY OFFICERS.-Army officers do
not receive with marked favor the information that
Secretary Taft believes that the tour of duty of
the military force in the Philippines may be in
creased from two TO four years The requchon OF
the period two years has been on the recon-
mendation of the army surgeons. who have found
that under the conditions existing tropical garr-
sons it is difficult to preserve the health OF the
troops In addition this fact, there are certain
expenses attaching to duty in the Philippines IN
the of officers by reason of the fact that IN
some cases support their families in
the United States. although this is coming to be
less and less of a condition. The principal advan-
tage to derived from doubling the period of duty
in the Philippines is the saving in the cost of
transportation, which would be reduced one-half
1t is held that not many of the enlisted men would
be adversely affected by the situation since most
of them do not remain in the service longer than
enlistment. the period of three years. The Off
GERS, therefore, particularly concerned. and
their views altogether opposed to any plan
which will keep them duty in the Philippine
Islands longer than years. In some cases the
scheme is aereea bic but in most cases long ser
vice is detrimental to health

AGAINST EIGHT-HOUR DAY

work directly or indirectly touching government
projects. The best available information is that
ma iority Of the committee will report adversely
;he bill 1t provides a penalty of s. a day for
every workman employed longer than eight hours
daily on any government work, whether under the
direction of chief contractors Ub-contractors.
Representatives of large contracting firms that do
a great deal of government work. including John
Richardson. president of the r. l. Burgess

of the National Electrical Supply Company. have
appeared before the committee and said that if
this bill passes they VIII hereafter refuse 10 bid

attaches the s. penalty the chief contractor il
imposes risk which good business could
afford take; that chief contractors seldom have
any supervision over employees of sub-contractors
who frequently are scattered far and wide in vari-
Gus states or in foreign countries and, therefore,

and prohibtive risks.
Members Of the committee drew from these rep

Washington. Feb. 4.-The Senate Committee
Military Affairs decided to-day to meet next Tues
day to take up the Brownsville investigation with
a view to bringing it close. if that should
be found impossible to holding continuous meetings
until the case is disposed of. The committee held
a meeting this morning at which routine business
was considered after which the subject of Browns
Vile was taken up. Senator Foraker expressed
some Indignation that he had been described in
the newspapers delaying final action, but Sena-
tor Warren the chairman, promptly informed the
Senator from Ohio that only his request for fur
ther time had prevented the adoption of final re-
port months ago. Mr.. Foraker replied that he was
now ready to vote on a report, and a meeting for
this afternoon suggested by the chairman
but it found that Senator Latimers death
would cause the ahSesce of some of the Democratic
members and brief discussion showed that not
until next Tuesday could a quorum of the commit
tee meet to dispose of the subject.

STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT RICE.
Knows of Nosscandal Connected with HIS
Companys Boats.

Isaac l.. Rice. president of the Electric BOAT
Company which controls the Holland submarine
Boat Company, said last night IN reference 10 'h0
Lillev resolution offered in Congress yesterday
we know nothing about this matter and have
nothing to say q bout further than this: We are
builders of submarine torpedo boats when the
naval trial board unanimously decided. AFTER eN-
haustive comparative tests last summer 10 be
the best submarines ever constructed we were
not afraid of competition then. and are not now.
AS to the number be purchased, that is for the
government to decide. Naturally we VIII be siao
to furnish whatever they think the needs OF the
country and the navy require.
Mr Rice said that the resolutions were measure
that the Lake company had succeeded in intro
ducing to annoy his company. Before the tests
we're condu-ted last summer. he aoded. attempts
were made to induce his concern 10 buy the plants
and patents belonging the other and the Electric
Company refused TO consider the propositions
when the trials had been held said Mr.. Rice
and our boat had received the Endorsement of the
committee that conducted them and later OF the
Navy Department believed that We were
through with the other concern and that 1t would
discontinue its efforts TO get us to buy They have
been far less successful than in their efforts TO
sell boats. both in this country and abroad where
u have receiTe I'd many more orders than the Lake
people. It seems now that We were mistaken. ana
that they have succeeded in getting introduced into
Congress a measure intended TO annoy us in their
efforts force 10 buy.
1t absurd say that we have used any
other than the most open measures to get any
legislation favorable TO our company through
Congress. So far the increase in the appropria
ton for submarines is concerned, that Is matter
that rests entirely with Congress. In letter to
the Senate January q the Secretary OF the Navy
said: In my report for the present year recon-
nendation is made for the construction of four
new submarines. This recommendation was made
in consideration of the policy Of keeping naval
expenditures within the lowest reasonable limits
necessary meet the urgent needs of the service
Whether this number should be increased or not
is matter within the discretion of Congress In
this letter the Secretary showed that he would not
look with disapproval increased appropria-
ton for submarines The fact that there has been
with the decrease in the appropriation for battle
ships, an increase in the appropriation for sub
| marines is only natural. BY decreasing the mum
her of battleships Congress takes away from what
| we might term the first line of defence of the
country. What is moro natural than that there
should go with this increase in the secondary
line as represented by the submarines, which are
intended primarily for coast Defence
