Aader- HALF MILLION FIRE LOSS Theater Audiences at Toledo, O., Near Panic. Toledo, O., Jan. 21.—«Flre that caused $500,000 damage broke out in the theater section just as the per formances were about to close and only the coolness of the managers prevented a panic in the Arcade and Empire theaters.

President Rode Seventeen Hours to Refute Criticisms of Officers' Tests. In the Interests of showing that his endurance tests for army officers have not been excessively hard, President Roosevelt recently rode ninety-eight miles on horseback and was none the worse for it the next day apparently. When he dismounted at night at the White Ilouse door, more than seven teen hours after having departed therefrom, he explained, according to a Washington dispatch, that he want ed to "prove to the critics who have found fault with the recent order re quiring all army and navy officers to take a physical test that if a president who is not in training can ride ninety miles plus In one day without being laid up in bed thereby It should not be too much to ask the men who are supposed to be in the best of physical training all the time to ride ninety miles In three days." Mounting his jumper Rorwell in front of the White House door at 3:30 o'clock in the morning, he dismounted at the same place at 8:40 o'clock at night. The Journey was to Warren ton, Va.. and back. "And Virginia roads In the winter time," said the president, "are not usually in the best condition." 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. When he dismounted his coat and hat were frozen stiff with sleet and Ice. In less than an hour after returning to the White House the president had changed his Ice coated clothing for evening drerfs and appeared in the din ing room, ready for as hearty a meal as he has oaten for a long time. If any of the critics of his "army riding order" had dropped in about that time they would have been sadly disap pointed, for the president did not show in the least by his walk that he had been sitting for nearly seventeen hour* In a hard saddle.
