JOURNEYS $50 MILES

With Wife and Daughter, Chief Exc
ecutiVe Arrives from >LincoIn's
BirthpIace-Speaks at
Harrisburg

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-After a
railroad journey of $50 miles in each
direction, taken for the purpose of
making twenty minute speech on the
occasion of the laying of the corner
stone Of a memorial building on the
site in Larue county Kentucky, of
the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln
President Roosevelt and his wife and
daughter returned to Washington this
afternoon. The trip consumed Just
fifty hours
The return trip was practically with
out incident, the most interesting event
being a brief speech to railroad en-
ployes at Harrisburg, Pa.
In this address, which lasted little
more than minute, the president
spoke of the railroad man as a model
type of American citizenship and said
that because of his alertness, self-reli-
ance and willingness to obey orders he
was just the sort of a man that would
be most useful in case of another war,
which, however he hoped would never
occur.
At many places along the road there
were crowds of people, who waved their
salutations as the train flew by. The
president lost no opportunities to show
his appreciation of the interest thus
manifested.
He would respond by waving his
handkerchief or lifting his hat. In
conversation he spoke feelingly Of these
indications of popular interest and ex-
pressed special pleasure over the fact
that the people generally seem to feel
as much interest in him now that his
term of office was about to close as
they felt when it was beginning.

u. 5. CONGRESS
0MINOUS FIGURE CONFRONTS
LAWMAKERS
House and Senate Have Much
Business to Transact, with
but a Short Time
Available
IBy Associated Press ]

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The omi-
nous figures "13' dominated in the
status of the regular general appropri-
alton bills in congress today.
There were thirteen of these great
supply bills regularly enacted at each
session, and today, the thirteenth of the
month, there are eleven of these meas
ures yet to be passed by the senate in
the thirteen days remaining of this con-
gress on which they can be considered
and enacted into law.
OF these. bills seven have not been
acted on by the house. While fifteen
legislative days remain, not including
the 4th of March, when congress must
adjourn at noon, one of these days must
be devoted to eulogies and another to
the passage of bills providing for the
re-enlistment of soldiers Of the, Twen-
ty-tifth regiment who were charged
with having "shot up" Brownsville,
Texas.
The friends of the postal savings
bank bill have not given up their ef-
forts to pass it, and considerable time
in the senate will be consumed in dis
cussing the measure.
Two or three treaties are also being
pressed for ratification, and consider
able time must be given over to exec
utive sessions.
1Ho SlCudIlOH IHdI IdceS the senate,
where unlimited debate is one of the
most cherished rules of that body,
makes necessary a spirit of harmony
and cooperation if the great supply
bills are to be. disposed of practically at
the rate of one day.
The naval bill, which comes up Mon
Cay, nearly always requires two days
for it's passage. and there are many
items in it as well as in othe rmeas-
ures that will require time-consumed
explanations if not extended debate.

GOETHALS RETURNS:
REPEATS PROPHESY
Chairman of Isthmian Commission to
Go Before Appropriations Conn
mittee in Congress
Monday

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Colonel
George w. Goethals, chairman of the
Isthmian canal commission, and the
members of the board of engineers +ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt, who
went to Panama with President-elect
Taft, reached Washington today.
The board will report unanimously in
favor Of continuing the lock plan.
Colonel Goethals said: 'T repeat what
I said to you a year ago, and that is
that the canal will be completed and
ships will be traversing it by the first
of February, 1915. Work on the water
way is going ahead splendidly.
Il am to appear before the house
committee on appropriations Monday,
when 1 will be prepared to give an esti-
mate of what the canal will cost.
I'm my judgment the character of
the canal to be built has not changed
in the least. The most acceptable pan
is that Of the lock canal, which is now
under construction. Any danger of
ships humping into the gates. or other
parts of the locks, about which some
apprehension has been expressed, will
be entirely averted by electrical devices
by which the. vessels, will be kept under
control at all times"

Notoriety Subsequent to Latter's Fail
ure Results in Marriage Just
Announced in New
Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 13.-That he
and Edna Wallace Hopper were mar
ried nearly three months ago was the
announcement made here today by a.
Q. Brown shortly after his arrival
from New York
The wedding took place in Freehold,
N. j.: November 25, 1908. The wit
nesses were Miss Leona Anderson,
Louis Ginter Young and Dennis
O'Brien, the latter an attorney for Mrs.
Hopper.
After her husbands announcement,
Miss Hopper said: I'VE did not an
nounce the marriage at the time be-
cause both Mr.. Brown and myself were
getting more nOtoriety than we wanted
out of the unfortunate failure of
August and the resulting suits
I'VE really made up our minds that
we would keep the marriage a secret
to fool the smart reporters and have
good joke on them. We consider the
joke good now, however, and do not
mind the announcement"
Miss Hopper figured in the failure
of the Brown firm. She was sum
moned into the bankruptcy court by
the receivers of the Brown company
because she had a $500 automobile and
a $25,OOO insurance policy given her by
Mr.. Brown before the failure.

M ASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-AIthough
wv the bill removing the bar to the
eligibility Of Senator Knox to
become secretary of state in Mr.. Taft's
cabinet was reported promptly to the
house today from the committee on
the election of president and vice presi-
dent, the filing of a minority report
also indicates that a; contest will be
made against the passage of the meas
ure.
Representative Gaines Of West Vir-
ginia, author of the house bill which
is identical with that passed by the
sente expects to call up the measure
Monday under suspension Of the rules,
and a motion will be made to substitute
the senate bill, which, if passed, would
bring the two houses into immediate
agreement.
In spite of the minority report Mr.
Clark of Missouri, Democratic floor
leader, says the measure will not be
made "a party issue. Therefore the en-
actment Of the bill is confidently ex-
pected.
Chairman Gaines of West Virginia
presented the majority report and con-
tented himself with recommending that
the bill pass.
The minority members held thai
while upon its face the Gaines bill only
seeks to fix the salary of the secretary
of state at $4,000, the real question is:
The Real Question
Whether a member of the United
States senate during whose term of Of
flee the salary of the secretary of
state was increased from $4,000 to $4,000
q year. can hold the office Of SpcretarN
of state any portion of the term for
which said senator was elected, pro-
Vlded that the salary of the secretary
Of state be reduced to what it was be-
fore raised.
THE act of congress under which
the salary of secretary Of state was
increased, said Representative Gil
Iespie' us referred to as saying to
every member of the United States
senate, You shall not for the time for
which you were elected to the senate
hold the Office of secretary of. state
we do not believe that a provision
of the constitution that is clear and
emphatic should be sought to- be an
nulled or suspended in the manner at
tempted by the passage of this bill.
I'VE believe the mischief undertaken
to be provided against by this provis-
ion of the constitution clearly embraces
the act of appointing one of the United
States senators to the office Of secre-
tary of state
The Office of secretary of state will
probably be held for eight years by
its next occupant, and designing
senator could easily anticipate that
though his salary would temporarily
be reduced In the closing years of his
senatorial term at the expiration Of
that term it would, through his inf1u-
ence, be restored"
