OLD CHAIRS CAN'T GO
WITH MR.. ROOSEVELT
President Had Hoped to Take Few Things From
White House. But Hesitates to Ask
Permission of the House

When William Howard Taft as
sumes the Office of President on the
fourth of March next. he viii have to
be satisfied with the furniture in the
Executive offices which has been in
use during President Roosevelts term
of office. President Roosevelt, il was
learned today, bad hoped that his SUI
CessOr would be provided new chairs
for hts Cabinet room and a new desk
chair for his private office. But the
President has changed his mind, since
authorization for the purchase Of new
furniture has been refused as inform
ally as the request for it was made.
The Presidents varied collection of
souvenirs, ranging from rare stones
picked up on the prairies OF the West,
to trophies from the hunting grounds,
indicate his desire to always have about
him objects which will be reminders Of
days which stand out prominently in
his life.
Writes to Member.
With this apparently In view the Presi-
dent wrote 10 a member of Congress
stating that when he became a private
citizen on March 4, he would like to
take away with him the ten chairs in
the cabinet room, the desk chair IN his
private office, and also a lounge in the
Executive mansion, of which Mrs.
Roosevelt is very fond.

QUESTION Of GAS
TO Be OELVED INTO
Senator Gallinger Says the
Whole Subject Needs IN
quiry, Which Takes Time.

Senator GalIinger. chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, indicated to-
day that his committee would give due
consideration 10 the question Of reduC-
ing the price Of gas.
He said he believed that if the gas
question were gone into properly sew
eral weeks would be required. that ex-
perts should be called in, and that the
whole subject should be inquired into
most carefully.
lie said there was not time for this
at the short session. and he thought
the committee would take the matter
up and do the best IL could. considering
the shortness Of the time and the pres
sure Of general Senatorial duties upon
the various members of the committee.
The Senator also pointed out that there
was an item in the District appropris-
tion bill providing for 85-cent gas i'm
Government buildings, and said 1t would
be necessary 10 give this matter CON
sideraJioH in connection with the Dis
trict appropriation bill.
He said he did not know just when
hearings would be begun on the District
bill. but he wanted 10 take the matter
Gp as soon as possible. senator Cal
Huge~ deems the matter Of Scent gas
in Government buildings as OF much
importance. because OF the law which
requires all consumers of gas iu the
District 10 be charged the same price.
Consequently, If a District bin were
passed with an Scent provision apply
ing TO gas usea by the Government the
courts might coustrUe this provision IN
connection with the old law on the
subject as requiring Scent gas for the
District as whole.
Senator GaIlinser has received a com

dealing with the subject of mOuoXide
gas. He expects. the District Commit
tee to give this subject careful attention.

set forth that there were many preCe-
dents TO show that Presidents in the
past had carried away with them when
leaving office articles OF which they
were especially fond.
The member of Congress TO whom the
letter Was addressed quickly replied to
the President. He stated that he was
personally without authority TO give
the President permission to take into
private life furniture or any other art

ernment funds for the use OF an official
household, or words to that effect.

lie added, however, that since the
President seemed especially desirous of
having with him trophies which would
always be a reminder of his strenuous
Presidential days. ne would gladly, if
the President wished, call the matter
10 the attention Of the Appropriations
Committee. which. if it saw fit, could
appropriate the money necessary to buy
the new furniture.
The Appropriations Committee being
the one body OF men in Congress at the
