ROOSEVELT DOES IT while
OTHER FOLKS TALK
Incidents Recalled Showing Great W.
tally Of the Lamented Col.
Theodore Roosevelt.

Since the death Of Colonel Roose-
welt, old-timers in Washington have
been recalling many incidents Illus
trative OF the tremendous vitality of
the man, his determination to get
things accomplished, and his unwill-
ingness to let red tape interfere with
the accomplishment OF that which
seemed necessary to be done. One
OF these incidents was recounttd the
other day of Col. William Boyce
Thompson, chairman of the Roose-
welt Memorial Association. 1t was
narrated with much appreciation by
a Congressman who didn't appreciate
II SO much when it occurred. 1t ran
as follows:
The Government was cooperating
with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
& Ohio Railroads in the project for
edifice. The site of the Pennsylvania 8
old station-now the Mall near the
White House-had been purchased by
hte Government, and 1t was purposed
to raze the buildings, But Congress
had been held late in special session,
and the members were anxious to get
home, so 1t was. decided to postpone
the letting Of bids for tearing down
the buildings until Congress re-assem-
bled the next fall. This duty natural
ly devolved on the Committee on the
District of Columbia, which has
charge of Government property in the
District. Meantime a major of engi-
neers was placed in charge, as GUS
todian.
When the Committee held its first
meeting at the next session of Con-
gress, the matter of letting contracts
| for the razing Of the old station was
brought IN.
why, gentlemen" declared an as
tonished Representative, there is
nothing to tear down. l walked past
there this morning. and there's moth
ing but the bare earth where the old
station stood"
The Committee sent post-haste for
the custodian, and the chairman asked
him sharply what had become of the
building he had charge of.
at has been razed and the material
stored, sir, replied the major.
by whose order?" queried the
chairman, red In the face.
"By order OF President Roosevelt
sir"
where In hell did he get any au
thority to butt into our business?" ex
ploded the chairman.

or the orders of my commandment

And Congress decided to consider
fact accomplished, and let II go q
that.

STEELTON MEN
WANT Big FIGHT
Will Confer With Promoter
. Tuesday For Gill-Brennen
Battle New Years Day

On his return from the East to-
day Manager Joe Barrett was met
by a committee of Steelton business
offer from them to have the Gill
Bremen bout held at Steelton on
New, Years Day. This match is the
most important that has been an
nounced in this vicinity since the
fight game was resumed.
It is a real title bout, for no per-
son who knows the fight game can
dispute Brennen's right to cham
pionship honors. OF course he must
meet O'Dowd, but considering that
he has met men who were cham
pions and wiped them off. he must
be considered as a real title aspi-
rant.
Manager Barrett knows that he
is unable to make q match of this
kind even make expenses If held
in the Olympia A. A. Club Hall. That
is why the Steelton boosters have
been trying to get larger hall. 1t
has announced to-day that an op-
ton on the lease of a garage had
been secured, and that the business
men are willing to stand Tor the en-
pense of arranging the seats and
pay other expenses if the fight is
held in Steelton. At conference
to-day all details will be inquired
into.
Other Bidders
The Motive Power Athletic Asso-
citation is also a bidder and willing
to handle the big show if it is held
