PRESIDENT MAY GO ON
A FIFTY MILE WALK
Another Demonstration to Show Naval
Officers Tests Are Easy.

Another Demonstration to Show Naval
Officers Tests Are Easy.
Washington, Jan. 49, Naval officers
who have been going around with grim
faces and suppressed kicks over the phys
zeal tests ordered by the PRESIDENT, came
to the conclusion that they would do
their horseback riding, bicycling or walk
ing without saying another word in pro-
test. This state Of mind was brought
about by the commander-in-chi 9S-
mile ride in Virginia, accompanied by q
staff officer of the navy, Surgeon Cen
eral Rixey.
If these officers do in one day more
than the physical tests require the ma
val officers to do in three days, and at
that during sleet storm. the naval
officers feel there Is nothing more to
Be said or done except take their tests
for individual fitness. To add to their
discontinue, Surgeon General Rixey took
another ride in Virginia of rs miles.
1t is now said that in order to demon
strate to the officers Of the navy that
the tests are not too severe, the presi-
dent contemplatss attempting 50.mile
walk in one day.

pany removed to Philadelphia from Bos-
ton about five weeks ago in an effort,
il is stated, to secure better working
conditions. The company occupied a
large factory on Northampton street.

was with reference 10 the prices demand
ed by union workmen in certain depart
ments, the company claiming that IL
was compelled to pay higher rate than
was required for the same class Of work
in other parts Of the country.
II was expected that by removing to
Philadelphia satisfactory adjustment
could be made, but this was not real
ized, and the strike followed.

QUESTIONS
HIS ACTION
Gaines Doubts Right to Seat
In Congress
TO HAVE IT VACANT
He Offers observation-disclosures Says Col
league Did Resign--The Resolution
Goes to the Committee on
Judiciary.

washingtn,o Jan. l0.--The right Of
Governor LiIlcy OF Connticut to retain
his seat as representative in Congress
from that state was questioned in the
House of Representatives yesterday by
Mr.. Gaines Of Tennessee. MFR. Gaines
offered a resolution, as a matter Of priv.
lege, declaring that as Mr.. Lilley has
been elected member Of the House Of
Representatives Of the Sixtieth Congress
and, also, had been elected and qualified
as governor OF Connecticut, his name
should be stricken from the roll and
that his seat in the House be declared
vacant. The majority leader, Mr.. Payne
OF New York, moved the reference OF the
rsolution 20 the committee on the Iu-
dietary. The Tennessee member declared
that Governor Lilley's duties as COVER
nor were incompatible with those of a
member Of the House. He cited several
presidents in which the House had acted
along the lines of his resolution.
In defence of Governor Lilley, Mr.
Higgins of Connecticut declared that
Mr.. LiIley did resign as a member OF
the House, that he resigned to his pred
ecessor, Governor Woodruff, that he had
already qualified as governor, and that
he was no longer a member OF the
House.
Replying to a suggestion by Mr.. Henry
Of Texas that the newspapers had stat
ed that the retiring governor had de-
clined to accept the resignation, Mr..
higgins said there was no law OF Con-
nectieut which required the executive 70
Immediately and forthwith call special
election to Gil a vacancy. Mr.. Payne
asserted that the debare had shown con-
eusiyely that the judiciary committee
was the proper body to consider the
question. At the suggestion Of Mr..
Gaines, Mr.. Payne agreed that the COM
mittee should be required to report in
ten days, and as amended Mr.. Payne's
motion TO refer the resolution TO that
committee was unanimously adopted.

Houlton. Me-, Jan. l6.--The attitude
Of the potato growers Of Aroostook coun-
tn, the greatest potato producing Sec
ton in the country, il not in the world,
in shipping their product has put the
buyers and others in a quandary as to
the probable amount Of the crop. Early
in the season it was reported that the
yield would be greater than that Of any
previous year, but unless the farmers
are holding hack large part of their
crop Of tubers, there is much doubt
among the dealers whether the report
will be confirmed. The crop has been
estimated by several well-inforuied men
as being anywhere between 100000
and 25,0oO,o00 bushels, yet only SSH
243 bushels were shipped over the Ban.

STEEL MACNATES HOLDING ].
:. AN IMPORTANT MEETING

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Repre-
sentatives of the United States
Steel corporation and subsidiary
concerns have been In conference
today considering the condition
of the steel trade. It is stated
they will make no statement un-
til the close of the meeting.
1t was learned on good author
ity that the course of the differ
emit companies will be to declare
for an "open market" meaning
that independent concerns will be
permitted to seek business at their
individual price.
Wires today from Pittsburg
state that it is understood the I'M
DERIVING companies of the steel
corporation received orders from
Eastern headquarters to get BUSH
ness at any price whatever. 1t is
unknown whether this refers to
all classes of unfinished products,
but 1t is believed there are some
exceptions. A special from Pitts
burg this afternoon says that the
order by the United States Steel
corporation and subsidiary COM
panies for an open market applies
to all steel products excepting
steel rails.
