Page 2. Washington, D. Jam laPresident Roosevelt rode ninety-eight miles on horseback today and when he dismounted tonight at the White house door, more than seventeen hours after having departed therefrom, he did not show any marked signs or wear The object of his long day in the saddle was to prove to the critics who have found fault with the recent order requiring all army and navy officers to take a physical test; that if a president, who is not in traLn' ing. can ride more than ninety miles in one day without being laid up in bed thereby, it should not be too much to ask the men whe are supposed to be in the best of physical training all the time to ride ninety miles In three days." Virginia Roads Not the Best. Mounting his rider and Jumper Roswell In front of the White house door at 3:30 o'clock this morning, he dismounted at the same place at 8:10 o'clock tonight.

The journey v-as to Warrenton, and back. And Virginia roads in the winter time," said the president, are not usually in the best condition." With the president were Dr. Rixey, surgeon general of the navy; Dr. Carey Grayson, and Capt. Archibald Butt, one of the president's aids.

On the return trip the last thirty miles of the journey were made in sleet and rain, while the Last fifteen miles were in almost pitch darkness. Arriving at the aqueduct bridge across the Potomac, the president refused to take the carriage which was waiting there for him. When he dismounted, his coat and hat were frozen stiff with sleet and ice. Four Relays of Horses. There were four relays of horses, the first stage of the journey out and the last in being made by the president on Roswell; the second out and the third in being on Georgia, while the other two were on army horses' which the president never before had mounted.

As the four horseback riders, followed by two policemen on wheels and the empty carriage, drove Into the sheet grounds surrounding the executive mansion, the president, in front, with his broad brimmed black slouch hat drawn down over his face, presented a striking picture. Both the outward and the return trip lay through Fairfax Courthouse to Warrenton. Arriving at the latter place about 11 o'clock. where the president's coming had been heralded an hour or so before his arrival, he was greeted by a gathering of citizens and school children, to whom he spoke a few words E. :1 session elects to succeed Page 2.

WasS.irgton, D. Jan President Roasevelt often has been accused of acting as hastily as to do injustice to people. a hose cases were not given proper consideratian before summary action was taken lie does do things upoe.impulse. Nevertheless the president at times is endowed with capacity for foresight which often! is little less than the gift of prophecy This particularly was true In the case of the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by tla United States Steel sespsration. It is a fact that before entering uprin, that transaction President Roosevelt predioteel to triese who were concerned exacta- what has happened.

Nevertheless he went into the affair with his eyes open to the fact that there fluid be future criticism. He did what he did at the time when he did it because he believed his action was reeessary to prevent a financial catastrophe. He assumed the responsibility then which he rever sinse has sought to evade, and only since criticism came has his prophecy been When Panic Held Nation in Grasp. During the' first week of November, 1907. the country was in the midst of a financial paelc which threatened to sweep everything before it Strong banks had' gone to the wall and others were tottering.

Men who had had the reputation of financial wizards, like Heinze and Morse, dragged down stroager men with them. Capital took alarm and money could not be had at any price. The barks of the country practically suspended specie payments anal resorted to the use of clearing house ctrtiticates and similar devices to take the place of cash. No one knew where the thing wouldastop or how many good men and banks would be involved in the crash. In the emergency the government did everything it could to restore confidence and to increase the supply of money.

The treasury balance was depleted to the last degree of safety so that money might be deposited in banks to relieve this strain. Certificates of indebtedness and bonds were hurriedly put out to provide more funds. There was slot sapublic spirited citizen in the United States who did not dessire the government to go to the limit of its authority to put a stop to the panic. The big men of Wall street did their part, and bankers and finanelers In New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and every other financial center were in hourly consultation, day and to do what they could to stem the title. Funds Tied Up in Serurities.

Just when taines were at their worst and when it seemed that two or three more big failures would put an end to all hope of restoring normal conditions it was discovered that a group of bakers and financiers represented by the Trus: Company of America, had tied up a large share of their funds in the securities of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, representing a majority interest In that concern. The transactien was an entirely legitimate One under normal conditions. The trouble was that depositors could not be paid in steel stock. They had to have money. This group of banks, in no way connected with the United States Steel company, had advanced money on these securities.

of tour se. could no: get their money back. Unless a purchaser could be found for the Tennessee steel stock these banks would become insoiveet. There was just one concern ID the United States which had the cash on hand to make purchase and which was in that line of business, so that the transaction would be a natural one. That was the United States Steel corporation.

The big men of Wall street figured out that If the big steel trust could be induced to purchase the securities of the little steel trust It would release enough money to save these tanks from failure. would protect their dertc)sitors, and would, above all. prevent a new catastroplie, the dire results of which to man cared to contemplate. Trust Men Averse to Deal. As a niater of course the trust offic els were averse to the transaction.

Like most prude-at business men they believed every cent of avaiiable cash capital should be held as stall. There was not. then in, the country, pra babas-. any big corporation which woual of its own have selected thas tine In which to have put out millions of casli ressurces for the purpose of wiping out a rival.

Deneen has been proclaimed the newly elected governor of Illinois, a pl'oclamation delayed a week. The deadlock between the two houses of the legislature, the cause of the delay, has been broken. The Democratic petition for a recount of the governorship votes, the cause of the deadlock, has been filed. The servantlette bosses of the Republican party, who tried to deliver and failed, have departed hence. disturbed by the uprising of the plain people which made delivery inapt'ssible and appalled by the obduracy of the legislative mind.

The members of the party took luncheon at the hotel. When they started to return. after a short rest. the master of the hunt of the Warrenton Hunt club accompanied them for a few miles. In less than an hour after returning to the White house the president had changed his ice coated clothing for evening dress and appeared in the dining room, ready for as hearty a meal as he has eaten for a long time.

If any of the critics of his army riding order had dropped in about that time they would have been disappointed. for the president did not show in the least by his manner that he had been sitting for nearly seventeen hours in a hard saddle. tute and certified by officials of the institute for the promotion of teachers under the rules of the board of education were not of such a nature and were not given and supervised in such a manner as to make them worthy of acceptance by the board of education. During last autumn the superintendent appointed a committee to consider thes4 complaints. The committee held several meetings, including a meeting by appointment with Mr.

French, director of the Art institute; Mr. Holmes, the register of the school; and Miss Buckley. head of the teachera' department at the Art institute. A copy of the committee's report is appended hereto. It establiehes conclusively the trutth of the complaints made against the work of these classes.

Courses Completed Quickly. While each unit course in the normal extension department lasts through six months, many unit courses at the Art inetitute were completed in two weeks, and some in a single week; and some of the students at the Art institute completed five credits in six weeks. "The report of the committee shows that the regular staff of the Art institute was totally unable to handle the numbers of public school teachers who applied, and that after exhausting all the resources of the Art institute in the way of regular instructors the management of the Art institute placed students in charge of classes for teachers. President Hutchinson Explains. The Art Institute never has been conducted along the same lines of discipline and study as the public schools and colleges." eald Charles L.

Hutchinson, president of the Art Institute. Supt. Cooley Is entitled to his own opinion concerning the character of work done by the institute. The art school is net a public school, the requirements are not the same, and therefore there can be no condemnation against one because its work does not conform to the standards of the other." Martin A. Ryerson said he did not care to discuss Supt.

Cooley's position until be could read the complete report. Director W. M. R. French of the Art Institute said his institution was not in any way dependent on the school board or the teachers.

"Any action taken by Supt. Cooley and the beard Is not a matter of much concern to the Art institute," he concluded. Tentative Budget Presented.

The first step of his lawyer, Joel E.

The Chicago Art institute was recommended to be dropped yesterday from the list of institutions -whose work is accepted by the board of education for teachers' promotional credits. The action was taken in the afternoon by E.

G. Cooley, superintendent of schools, and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, principal of the Chicago Normal school. In the evening the two officials presented to the school board a detailed report giving their reasons for the step. The report is the result of a long series of Investigations and conferences with Art Institute officials carried on by a special committee composed of Agnes M.

Hardinge, director of the normal extension department; Charles D. Lowry and Ella C. Sullivan, district superintendents; and Charles P. Megan, assistant superintendent. The state of affairs discovered by this body Is summarized by Mr.

Cooley and Mrs. Young as follows: Courses which should occupy six months completed at the institute in two weekssome even in a single week. Some of the students completed live courses in six weeks. Students of the institute placed in charge of classes for teachers. Supervision of work by Art institute faculty entirely inadequate.

Out of 1.300 school teachers not one failed to receive full credits. Credit given for number of hours spent, irrespective of quality of work. Same course taken over and over, additional credits being giveaeach time. Blank Looks Greet Report. Supt.

Cooley's report came on the school trustees like a thunderbolt. President Schneider, Trustee Sonsteby, and several others are members of the Art institute, and the blank looks that greeted the document would have been funny if the whole thing had, not been so serious. Mr. Sonsteby moved that the report 4e referred to the school management committee, but Mr. Robinson held a different opinion.

This matter is of enough moment to be made a matter of special investigation," he said. I move that a committee of three be appointed to Investigate. Mr. Post urged that this be Increased to five, and the president appcnted Trustees Urion, Kohn, Spiegel, Blackwood, and Grelfenhagen. Mr.

Post then arose again and looked around blankly. I move," he said, irasmuch as this appears to be a serious attack on a public institution of high standing, that this committee be instructed to make a thorough inveetigation, and give the officials of the Art institute a full chanoe to be heard." The motion carried unanimously, and. having devoted exactly two minutes to getting its breath, the board proceeded to routine busineen. Easy to Obtain Credits. By way of indicating the ease with which promotional credits have been obtained at the Art Institute, Mr.

Cooley and Mrs. Young indicate that from April. 19oS, to Octoirr, 191)8, the number of teachers reporting credits from the institute was 1.313.
