 WORM TURNS UPON
 THE PRES|DEN! Army and Navy Register Says
 Some Sharp Things ROOSEVELT IS HIT HARD
Brownson-Rixey Trouble Is Aired as Well as the Army Tests and the Acts Are Said To Be Un-
 becoming President.

Washington January 20-(Special)-The Army and Navy Register, leading and most conservative service journal, which has heretofore taken no part in the se- we're criticisms of the navy, naval con struction and the Brownson- -Rixey con- troversy, at last has felt compelled to burst forth with few views of it's own, which have created wide gossip in army and navy circles. The Register has all along appeared to favor personnel legis- lation in the navy, favoring the staff corps and has had little if any fault to find with the actions of President Roose- tains two editorials by the editor, J. E. Jenks-a leader under the caption "The Trouble With MT. Roosevelt and one following 1t headed, .'Nagging the Army"
 In these editorials. MT. Jenks severely critcises the Presidents action in the Brownson- -Rixey episode toward Admiral Brownson as brutal and entirely unbe- coming a President of the United States and lacking any semblance of the square deal" As to the "Nagging of the Army MT. Jenks takes the President to task on his test in skilled horsemanshp, say ing he is carrying the test entirely too far, and even in the wrong direction, to bring about the desired results.
 M E. Ingalls,, former railroad man, at present banker, business man and demo- cratic leader in Cincinnati, paid his re- spects to the President today. Speaking of the political situation, he said: "As 1t looks to me, Taft will be the republican nominee and Bryan the democratic. think Bryan will be elected. There does not seem to be any question that he can have the nomination if he wants 1t. If he doesn't want 1t some man suitable 10 him will be nominated. No. I don't take much stock in these proposed conferences in New York or elsewhere. designed to shelve MT. Bryan. These same clements asked Bryan to stand out of the way four years ago, and promised to do big things. What did they do? A most estimable man was nominated, but the party was badly defeated.
 "As to Ohio. think Judge Harmon will have some delegates. He will get these from the Cincinnati district, any how He is a splendid man and would make a good candidate for the democratic party"
 Availing himself of a good opportunity, Representative Underwood during a dis cussion in the House today, tried to com- pei Congressman Bartholdt, chairman of the public buildings committee to say whether or not a general building bill would be reported this session. Bar tholdt evaded a direct answer and simply declared he did not know. All of the Ala bama members are deeply interested in this matter, as they have measures pend- ing, but it looks as if none will be acted upon until the closing session of this Congress. as the government revenues are falling off heavily, the republican man. agers are opposed to a public building bill such as was passed in the last Con- gress.
 Representative Heflin introduced today a bill appropriating s2,OO0 to enclose and prepare the grounds and erect suitable monument on the Tallapoosa river in Ala bama on the Horse Shoe battle field, the money to be expended under the direc- tion of the Secretary of War and the governor of Alabama WIS
