Sen. Hale Pushing Things = Public
Buildings visitors Throng-
ing the Capital.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 15 (special)-
Senator Hale has been bearing hand in
recent days at Strengthening out the
legislative program, After matters had
drifted along for several weeks, and there
had been much opportunity for discussion
and the development of individual
opinions. he advised meeting Of the
''steering" committee, Of which he is
chairman.
1t is not often that the steering COM
mittee, composed entirely Of republicans,
is in the last analysis the governing body
of the Senate. II it decides that such and
such bills should be considered, the re-
publican majority invariably sets itself to
getting those bills up. II it decides that
such and such bills can well be left alone,
those bills have no chance of becoming
law. And sometimes the steering COM
mittee decides that it will take no action
regarding given measures, which then are
allowed to drift along in the Legislative
channels.
The steering committee is composed en-
tirely of brigadiers. Nearly every mem
Der is a chairman OF some important COM
mittee, although pot more than one sem
ator from any one state is elected to MEM
bership by the republican caucus. Sem

All four Maine congressman are just
now busying themselves with something
OF legislative Importance. 1t may be OF
most interest in the third Maine district
that Representative Burleigh is bending
to the big task-which is usually an an
nual task-of helping get the omnibus
public building bill into shape. Not
many days ago, President Taft gave out
the word that he thought the govern
ment's interests required the enactment
of q small public building bill at this SEES
the President is one, had hoped such
legislation could be deferred till another
year, when the revenues would be larger
and there would be more money to spare.
But the governments business is
constantly growing, and the demands for
adequate quarters for postoffices, custom
houses, and courthouses in growing towns
pile up from many quarters. Congress
men get clamorous that something be
done to meet these demands for buildings,
and the President and the speaker have
come to believe that it may be in the
interest of real economy in the long run to
enact some building legislation forthwith.
The omnibus building bill always origi-
mates in the House. The committee on
public buildings and grounds, of which
Gov. Burleigh is the second republican
member, "gets busy" as soon as the word
goes forth. The b-committees there
of at once enters upon an examination
of the public building bill which have ac-
cumulated. These are gone over carefully,
referred to the treasury department for
examination and report, as the construc-
ton of public buildings belongs to q
bureau of the treasury department. The
governments business in the towns and
cities where buildings are proposed, is
scrutinized and, with all the data and the
recommendations of the department on
hand, the subcommittee undertake to
decide whether any appropriation shall
be voted, and, if SO, how much.
The subcommittee, of which Gov. Bur-
leigh is chairman, has an allotment Of
states, including all of the New England
states. 1t is probably the most important
OF the subcommittee in that it covers
more populous territory, where many of
the larger public building projects origi-
nate.

AWAITING VISIT
 OF COL. ROOSEVELT

Rome February 2-(Special )-The com ing visit of ex-President Roosevelt is matter of some concern to the Vatican au- thorities The Pope desires to have an audience with the former President of the United States. Colonel Roosevelt has promised to make an address before the American Methodist body here If this vis- it to the Vatican can be arranged before he addresses the Methodists all will be serene. Otherwise the precedent set up in the Fairbanks incident will make it inn possible for the Pope to receive Colonel Roosevelt. It is not that the Vatican au- thorities, who are anxious to honor Colonel Roosevelt, object to Protestant addressing Protestants in Rome, but that the method of this particular Protestant society are such that the Pope cannot with self-respect receive anybody who publicly identifies himself at least in ap- pearance with these methods.

VIRGINIA MAKES
 19 MILES AN HOUR

Washington, February 20.-The battle ship Virginia maintained an average on trial of 1914 knots an hour yesterday in a four-hour full-power trial off Guam tanamo, Cuba, according to information received today at the navy department
 This speed is better than made under contract trial when the ship was put into service and was conducted with an in- creased displacement of more than 1000 tons greater than was the case when the contractors test was made.
 During the past week Admiral Schroe- der reported the fleet had been at sea part of the time. holding turning and battle exercises.
 Landing forces from the Minnesota, New Hampshire, Mississippi and Idaho. encamped during the entire week on Deer Point, holding rife and pistol target prac- tice and engaging in company, battalion and regimental drills. In addition boat crews laid mines, Teams sealed walls and lH men qualihedA as swimmers during the week.

IRON AND STEEL
 ARE LESS ACTIVE

New York, February 50.-The railroads placed very few contracts for equipment last week, but there was fair volume of business with an increase in specified tions in many lines of finished steel. ex- ceeding shipments largely because of the congested railroad traffic. A little more confidence is evident and the general be- lief is that the present furry in raw ma terial will soon pass away. In not a few instances the impression is that the reac- tion has been exaggerated unduly. Most of the finishing mills are booked far ahead, especially during the first half of the year.
 In building lines a large number of small orders for extensions to manufac- turing plants and for mercantile strue- lures has been the leading feature of in- terest, and the prospect is that the vol- ume of business in February will be above the average tonnage placed in cor responding months in previous years Last week contracts for fabricated steel aggregated about 1900 tons, including a number Of small railway bridges. The Chicago and Northwestern railroad has been the only line to withdraw important tonnages from the market including rails and bridge material Contracts for rails were placed for 22,000 tons, and 120,000 tons more are under negotiations. Orders for only 225 cars and 75 locomotives were placed, but contracts are pending for 25, 600 cars and 200 locomotives.
 In pig iron the principal feature of in- terest has been the sale of speculative lots of Alabama iron at lower prices Northern iron has been better sustained, and there has been some increase in in quiries from consumers. In the eastern dlstrlcts contracts were placed for foun- dry grades aggregating about 15,O00 tons. Very few orders for steel-malxing iron have been placed. It is estimated that stocks on furnace banks at the beginning of this month were about 100000 tons.

untimely end, under the present state of affairs in this country, is the fact that desperate thoughts on the part of a long suffering public at one end of a tele- phone wire cannot always find instant ex- pression in desperate deeds at the other end.

 St. Paul 5 chapel on Broadway between Fulton and Vesey streets was at one time an uptown church, and occupied by a con gregation of New York s most fashion ahle folk. At the present time there is lit- tie evidence of fashionable residences in the immediate vicinity of the church, al- though great number of people still have their homes in that highly congested bus lness quarter of the great city. The peo- pie who attend the midday services through the year and who literally throng the church for the 12 o'clock devotions during Lent, hail from all quarters of the New York suburbs, and many of them are still amongst the class which we often hear spoken of as the well-to-do.
 Recently the vicar of the chapel, which you will remember, belongs to Trim lty parish made some very pertinent re- marks in regard to the effect of wealth upon the people of the present day. These remarks he summed up in leaflet which iS being distributed to the people who make gocd use of the present season of Lent. .'No age in the history of the world has ever been in greater need of a we'll Kept Lent than this age in which we live. The money current Is running strong and in threatening fashion. More people than ever are clothed in purple and fine linen and fare sumptuously every day. More people sit down to eat and rise up to Ilay. As q direct consequence of these conditions many more people than ever before suffer from discontent and from a sense of being wronged.''

May Reopen Auld-Robnett Case

Washington, February 20.-There is an uncomfortable suggestion of reopening of the famous Auld-Robnett courtmartial case. which was supposed had been final ly settled by the approval of the navy department of the findings of the court martial. It appears now that attorneys for Surgeon Robnett have been authors ized to present to the department argu- mdhts to show that Robnett was illegally punished by the sentence after he had received letter from the department which, in the opinion of his attorneys, amounted to a reprimand and therefore a punishment.
