 The White House, which up to this time was without adviccs, was com municated with and whatever feeling of anxiety the long wait had caused the Roosevelt family was thereby re- lieVed.

H. c. Bretzfelder Buys Six Houses Adjoining Shelf Chemical Lab
 ratory.
YALE MIGHT GET PROPERTY
Deal an Investment and is in Line With Plans for Scien- tific School Campus
 Now Under
 Way.

Announcement was made yesterday of the sale of the six small brick houses on Prospect street between the chemi- cal laboratory of the Sheffield Scientific school and the deep cut of the canal road opposite the Grove street ceme- tery. The property was sold to H. C. Bretzfelder by Henry A. Warner anu the price paid was In the nelghborhood of SiO,OOO. The transacton was consum- mated by \. Podoloff, the Chapel street real estate dealer.
 The property in question has a front age on Prospect street of a little more than l50 feet The interesting part of the deal is the fact that this will be the only property on the suqare bounded by the Canal road, Hilhouse avenue, Grove street, and Prospect street that the Sheffield Scientific school will not own. The school has but just announce ed that IL is going to create Shelf Campus on this square and the ques- tion naturally arises as to when this property will be wanted.
 When seen last evening Mr. Bretz- fielder denied that he has bought the property with the intention of holding 1t until the scientific school would be willing to pay him what he wanted for it. He admitted that he had only bought Ii as an investment, however. Secretary Stokes of the university said he did not know exactly what the plans of the school were as to it's fu- ture campus and the inquirer was re- ferred by him to Director Chlttenden of the Scientific school.
 Director Chtten said at his home or, Trumbull street that as far as he knew the plans for the Shelf Campus" do not as yet contemplate the use of the particular property in question on Prospect street He said if the Canal road with its deep cut right along side of it were not there the property would be much more important to the school in It's future developments. "Of course would like to see the school own the property but do not contemplate that any definite move will be made to get it in the near future" he said.

N0CUTAT SARGENT'S
Hours of Employment to Re main Unchanged for the
 Present.
A F0RTY-H0UR SCHEDULE
Time May Vary in Different Shops-- Present Schedule in Operation
 Since November Last.

Although the Winchester Repeatinf Arms Co. hns put the men on n short or time scale, 1t seems more than nrob. able now that the other large indus. triee of the city will not follow the ex. ample. Al sargents where over oor lands are employed no change from the present fig contemplated and ne workmen have been laid off within the past few weeks.
 Ihe sargent shops are running Ave days a week and those days eight hours a day. In speaking of the ont look laet night, Henry B. Sargent said:
 The length of time the men will be employed each week is always q oues- ton until the week before The diff ferent shops manage the number of hours according to the work which has to be done and often times the hours at the different shops are not the same. Since November the shops have been running only 10 hours a week and our purpose has been to keep as many men at work as possible. During the tlme of the greatest business depres- eion We divided the work up as best we could, but when employees said they had opportunities for permanent posi- tions we did not make the outlook there especially rosy for them. Some or these men have left the shops and after losing their new positions on their return to our shops We have been nn able to give them work. Although we cannot forecast what the situation VIII be few weeks from now. we an- ticipate no change at present in tho number of hours the men are em- ployed."

 dent Roosevelt will veto the naval ap.
 propriation bill should the senate, as
 did the house, fail to make any appro-
 prlation for the two battleships which
 are authorized in that measure The
 prompt announcement of this fact tc
 senate leaders today Is regarded as re-
 sponsible for the announcement by Mir,
 Hale that he should propose an amend
 ment approprlating S7000,00O towards
 the construction of these ships.
 The president stated his position on
 this point with equal emphasis and
 suddenness today. upon learning that
 the bill, as passed by the house, was
 simply paper" provision for naval
 increase with no money to make the
 provision effective. Such legislation as
 this, the president made known to his
 numerous congressional callers, was a
 travesty as to effectiveness and bore all the ear-marks of legislative legerder- ' main
 That the presidents quick and vigor- ous action is to be effective. is evil . denced by the action of Chairman Hale of the senate naval committee in an- nouncing that at the proper time he .will propose tho s7,000,0OO additional. As to his threat of veto. the presiden, made it plain that should the wisdor iof congress result in the passage of a lbill providing for no naval increase swhaiever, he would have no ground on (which to veto the measure.
 There Is not the slightest indication sthat the president has ceased his fight sIor four new hattleshlps. according to sthe evidence of senators who talked swith him today, Senators who are with athe president In his fight on this prop Position admit tonight that careful xsurvey of their strength In the senate }eives but a vote of 26 in that body in Favor of the presidents naval program lfor four ships
