Only Take Modified Walks

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.--The stren-
uous exercise for naval officers pre-
scribed under the Roosevelt adminis-
tration has failed in its purpose in the

today greatly modifying the severity of
the physical tests.
Under the. old order every officer of
the navy and marine corps was re-
uuired to walk fifty miles within three
days every six months, the actual
walking time to be within twenty
hours total. or he might ride 100 miles
on a bicycle within three consecutive
days, the actual riding time to be
within fifteen hours; or he might ride
q horse ninety miles within three days,
actually riding seven and one-half
hours on each of two days and six
hours in one day.
The bicycle and horseback rides have
been abandoned and a simple walking
test established. This walk is to be
of twenty-five miles in two consecutive
days, five consecutive hours being all
lowed for each day and the walk for
each day twelve and one-half miles)
not to he comnleted in less than four
hours.

ASKS BANKERS
TO. COOPERATE
GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA WANTS
EXPOSITION TO BE HELD IN
NEW ORLEANS.

OttumWa bankers have been asked
by the members Of the New Orleans
Clearing House association to coop
crate with them In having New
Orleans designated as the logical
point for holding the Worlds Panama
exposition. San Francisco is also after
the exposition Governor Sanders Of
Louisiana has written the local banks
it would be to the people of Ottumwa
and Iowa in having the exposition at
New Orleans. He points out that over
60,00O,0O0 people live within the radius
of 1000 miles Of New Orleans, while
in the same radius from San Francisco
there are only 100000. He further
points out that the people Of Iowa
would come to the exposition in New
Orleans in much less time and at
much less expense than they would go
to San Francisco. One of the best ar
guments submitted by Governor Saudi
ers is that the millions Of dollars
which will be expended in the con-
stMction and maintenance of the great
enterprise and the millions Of dollars
which will be expended by the hun
dreds of thousands of people from all
parts of the world, will unquestionably
remain in the Mississippi valley, and
in the south, during it's idle period;
this immense amount of capital will
find its way to the the banks of the
north and east If the exposition goes
to San Francisco, he states, these mil
lions of dollars will stay on the Pa
cific coast and not one state east of
the Rocky Mountains will receive any
benefit therefrom. He asks the bank
ers to communicate with Representa-.
tiv Frank P. Woods Of Iowa, who is a
member of the Industrial Arts and Elk
positions, and have him use his influ-
ence in getting New Orleans the ex-
position. i'm.

JUSTICE OEEMER
IS URGED AGAIN.

Des Moines, July 6.--The unexpect
ed death Of Chief Justice b. Fuller OF
the United States supreme court
again brings to the fore the name OF
Horace E. Deemer Of Red Oak, chief
justice of the Iowa supreme court, as
q candidate for the federal bench. His
name will be presented by the Iowa
delegation in congress at the proper
time.
There has been much talk Of late
that John M. Dickinson. present sec
rotary of war, would be given the next
vacancy on the supreme bench. Hia
elevation to the bench would mean
the consideration of Congressman j.
A. T. Hull OF Des Moines, as secretary
of war. The objection to Secretary
Dickinson Is that Tennessee, his home
state, already has a supreme court
Justice In the person OF Justice Lur-
ton, appointed to succeed David
Brewer.

MATTER IS ONE OF
INTEREST IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. July 2e.-The treat
ment OF nom Catholic denominations in
Spain has been watched closely by the
diplomatic representatives OF the United
States al Madrid The investigation OF
1906 came as the result Of a protest filed
with President Roosevelt by Rev. John
Lee and Bishop l. B. Wilson. Acting
Secretary OF State Bacon at that time
asked Minister Collier 10 report on the
status OF non Catholic denominations OF
Spain.
In his report Minister Collier called
the attention OF the state departmen mt
10 the existing constitution. which desig-
mated the Catholic religion as that OF the
state and obligated Spain TO maintain its
worship and Its ministers. The Amcri-
can minister quoted the section which
declared that no one should be intcrfered
with because Of religious opinions. but
that no ceremonies or manifestations in
public, except those OF the religion OF
the state. were 10 be permitted.
Mr.. Collier said that funeral services
were never interfered with even when
Protestant ministers appeared in their
clerical capacity on the streets. that
churches and chapels might be built but
that distinctively ecclesiastical architec-
ture. calculated TO proclaim the building
as the seat Of a Protestant form of wor-
ship, was not allowed. or at least that
the Protestants had RETAINED from such
form of architecture.

himself responsibility for the mistakes
that were made at Columbus In the or

should have started earlier.
The fight against the domination Of
special interests In politics is being waged
