velt's car last night remained in police
care high up In the Dade County jail,
Just across the street from the train Mr..
Roosevelt boarded at 10 am. to go to
New York.
DR.. Joel T. Boone, physician OF Presi-

Hopes to Be Out Soon.
Entering the room of Mayor Cermak,

looking fine. The first thing you know
you will be back on your feet"

The pay for the school teachers"
Mr.. Roosevelt left the yacht of Vim
bent Astor shortly after 9 o'clock and
proceeded by motor to the hospital, on
the outskirts of the city. He rode in
the front seat with the chauffeur.
Astor accompanied him. An extra detail
of police and secret service men sur
founded Roosevelt at every turn.
Returning to the train Roosevelt was
greeted by huge throng which cheered
him. Upon reaching the back platform
he turned, took off his hat, and waved
q response to the greeting. Three
secret service men were Immediately
about him.
Valenti Still Held.

HOUSE BLOCKS FIVE
DISTRICT INCREASES.
Wild Confusion Marks Fight
by Holiday to Amend
Measure.

The House today persistently blocked
repeated attempts of Representative
Holaday, Republican, of Michigan, to
increase number of important items
in the 1884 District appropriation bill.
Five times in the first two hours of
debate on the bill Holiday offered
amendments only to have them voted
down. In each instance the House
turned deaf ear to his pleas that the
increases he proposed would provide
immediate capital Improvement that
would put unemployed men to work
Improvements that could be made with
the unobligated tax revenues that would
otherwise pile up huge surplus in the
Federal Treasury to the credit Of the
District.
Two of the amendments which the
House turned down denied increases to
the Office of the recorder of deeds and
paved the way for the closing, on July
l., of the highway department testing
laboratory.
Other Plans Defeated.
Another amendment voted down was
designed to increase the appropriation
for the maintenance and repair of
bridges from 1880. as carried in the
bill, to 1922, 500, and fourth amend
ment would have added 100000 to the
appropriation for resurfacing or re-
placement of granite blocks and asphalt
pavements. The fifth amendment would
have provided for operation of the test
ing laboratory after July /.
Representative Blanton, Democrat, of
Texas. led the fight against each of the
Holiday amendments, and several times
the arguments became so heated that
the House was thrown into wild con-
fusison as the presiding officer raped
vainly for order.
Representative Holaday pointed out
the highway laboratory Is a decided
advantage to the District and instead

he had no regrets for his attack on
President-elect Roosevelt.
Speaking in broken English, the pris-
oner answered questions readily. Sheriff
Hardie, something Of a linguist, helped
carry the conversation. Here Is
Hardies' account of the examination:
why do you want to kill? Did you
want to kill the policeman who caught
you?"
81 no care to kill police" he replied.
They work for leeving. AS a man I
like Meester Roosevelt. AS Presi-
dent I want to keel him. I want to
keel all Presidents. In Italy 10 years
ago, want to keel the king, but I
cannot get to heem.'

Contest Over Will Of Tiger Flowers

Siustrunk says, by the wife of I'll
gers trainer, who stated this piece
Of property was left to her.
The estate is understood to con-
sist of large amount of real es-
tate in Georgia and other states in
addition to considerable cash in the
banks of Atlanta and New York
City. AS told, it is estimated to
be worth several hundred thousand
dollars.
Flowers wife and child are now
in California where they receive
only a small amount of the income
from the properties, Siustrunk says
while the mother is practically des-
titute. She assigned her duties to
him because of her age and inabili-
ty to gather the estate together.
Siustrunk intimated he does not
know who actually has control of
the vast unaccounted-for part of
the Flowers estate or who is ga
thering the income which legally
should be entrusted to the mother,
but he does plan to find out and
restore the properties to the execu-
trix if at all possible.
