Did II to Show Reasonable
ness Of His Order 10
Army Officers ..' !.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 13.-Prest
dent Roosevelt rode ninety-eight
miles on horseback today and VIXEN
he dismounted tonight at: the White
House door, more then seventeea
hours after having departed there
from, he did not show any marked
signs of WEAKNESS. s=E.,&s (; s. +. . #5. Is. "a
The object Of his long day in the
saddle, as, he explained to repres-
entative of the Associated Press al
ter his return, was to prove to the
critics who have found fault with the
recent order ordering all army ON
GERS to take a physical test, that If the
president, who Is not. in training, can
ride ninety miles in one day without
being laid up in bed thereby, it
should not be too much to ask the
men who are supposed to be in the
best of physical training all the time
to ride ninety miles in three days.
Mounting his faithful riding jump
er, "Roswell,a in front of the White
House door at $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing, he dismounted at the same place
at $40 o'clock tonight. The journey
was to Warrenton, Va, and back.
and Virginia roads in the winter
time said the president ARE mot
usually IN the best condition.
With the president were DR.. Ri1-
ey, surgeon general of the navy; DR..
Carry Grayson, and Captain Archi-
bald Butt, one of the presidents aides.
On the return trip the last thirty
miles of the journey were made in
sleet and rain, while the last fifteen
miles were in pitch darkness. Arriv-
ing at the aqueduct bridge, across
the Potomic, the president refused to
take the carriage waiting there for
him. When he dismounted his coat
and hat were frozen stiff with sleet
and ice. i. -
There were four relays of horses,
the first stage of the journey out and
the last in being made by the presi-
dent on Roswell the second out
and the third being on Georgia"
while the other two were on army
horses which the president had never
before mounted.
AS the four horse riders, followed
by two policemen on wheels and the
empty carriage, drove into the sleet
shimmering grounds surrounding the
executive mansion, the president in
front his broad brimmed black hat
drawn down over his face, presented
a striking appearance on both the
outward and return trip through to
the court house at Warrenton.
Arriving at the latter place about
II o'clock, where the presidents COM
ing had been heralded an hour or
so before his arrival, he was greeted
by a gathering of citizens and school
children, to whom he spoke a few
words of greeting.
They took luncheon at the Green
hotel, then they started back after
a short rest In less than anhour
of the returning from Warrenton the
president changed his ice coated
clothing for evening dress and ap-
peared in the dining room, ready for
as hearty a meal as he has eaten for
a long time.
If any of the critics of his *army
riding order" had dropped in about
that time they would have been std
~ disappointed, for the president did
not show in the least that he had
hours in the saddle. Ne aE: . .s3%

The Pilots Association and William

broker, clashed yesterday over the
question of the ,attcr's right to de
mand a Pennsylvania pilot to take the
British steamship Eskside to sea
When the smoke of the battle lifted

steamship broker, and Harry ]. Long,
a Pennsylvania pilot, stood proudly on
the bridge of the Eskside and guided
her to the Delaware Capes. During tito
controversy the big steamship. with
300 tons of coal for Vera Cruz, was
delayed two hours and a half
The trouble between the Pilots Asso-
citation and Mr.. Grandheld is of long
standing. The latter will not recognize
Delaware pilots. on the ground that
should an accident occur to one of his
vessels while a Delaware pilot was on
board the latter would not be amen
able TO the Commissioners of Naviga-

before the Delaware Pilot Commission.

comment will and is already being made
that Mr.. Lea is setting up rival function

Roosevelt has already quit and so an

here, it is not to be Pnnewill until he ac-
tually takes the oath.
The present Governor is a lavish enter
tainer and has set a fast clip socially, for
future governors But he must remember
that Governor Pennewin is handsome,
young and unmarried--that he can wear
fun dress suit and glove Just like a
Paris model or an Adonis, and can say
sweet things to the ladies' and sing fine
songs to the men. Now as TO the impend-
ing contest OF the relative social grandeur
between the two men, we hope that the
Legislature committee will appropriate
enough money to get the Philadelphia Or
