Judge Cunningham then stated
that he believed a grave mistake had
been made by the citizens of the val
ley in not having an exhibit at the
Dallas fair or the one to be held IN
San Antonio within the next few days
and thought that it would be a good
plan for Secretary Magill to get to-
getber what he could in the way of
an exhibit from the valley within the
next few days and send it to the
San Antonio fair. This suggestion
brought forth considerable discussion
some being of the opinion that it
would be better not to have any eX-
bibition at all unless it was a good
one. well prepared, while others ad-
vanced the opinion that as the
growing of sugar cane is one OF the
most important agricultural develop
ments of the valley it would be we l
TO send only a display of sugar cane
After much discussion it was decided
that a sugar cane exhibit from the
valley should be sent to san Antonio
fair. and that Secretary Nagin should
90 to San Antonio in charge of it.
J 1t was decided that 500 would be
necessary to defray the expenses Of
this exhibition and President Hey
wood appointed Judge Cunningham
committee of one to solicit the
amount and in order that no time
might be lost Judge Cunningham be
gan 10 collect at once, and succeeded

ADOPTS HOUSE PROGRAM.
Senate Naval Committee Votes for
Two BattleshipS

The Senate committee on naval affairs
today reached the item in the naval APP
preparation bill providing for the con-
struction of two 26,OOO-ton baitleships.
and after considerable discussion, adopted
ii. 1t is expected the bill will be reported
to the Senate tomorrow.
1t was proposed by a number of senators
that the two battleships to be authorized
should be of the type of the two authoriz.
ed last year. which are Of about 1905
tons less displacement. 1t was argued by
Senator Perkins and some others that
the subject of building the larger ships
had been considered carefully by the
House committee and by Secretary of the
Navy Newberry and that the plans of the
general board and the board of construc-
ton had been approved. AS q result OF
these arguments the House program was
adopted.

President Says Never Struck Horse.

President Roosevelt has written the fol-
lowing letter TO Mrs. A w Rhodes of
Los Angeles. Cal. in regard to a much
talked-of story in Washington that he
acted rudely TO Forest Glen Seminary
girls Thanksgiving day, while horseback
riding:
My Dear Mrs. Rhodes: thank you
for your letter of the 20th ultimo, and
am glad 10 hear from you that your
daughter denied the story that 1 struck
her horse. OF course. / never struck
her horse. or any other lady's horse.
The whole story so absurd as not
to be worth denial. Numerous stories of
this kind are started from time to time
by foolish or malicious people Occasion
ally ! am obliged to deny them. but as a
rule ! find 1t best simply to ignore them.
because denying them calls attention to
them and gives a chance to mischief
makers TO mislead we'll meaning people
by further repettions of the stories. SIM
cerely yours.
