Informs Secretary or War of Physic al Tests Needed by All Who , Retain Commissions. WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. The War De partment today published a general order issued by the President greatly extending Its original order relative to riding tests of officers of the Army. The President now requires every field officer to make a dally practice march of not less than 30 miles for three days in succession each year. All officers are also required to accompany their commands on the monthly practice marches. The text of the order published today is as fol lows: "White House, Washington. Dec. 6, 1907. To the Secretary of War: I de sire due notice given to all officers concerned that hereafter suitable phy sical tests to detrmtne their fitness for active operations will annually bo made of all field officers of the Aamy under such regulations as you may prescribe. "A sufficient number of the practice marches of cavalry, occurring in the Fall of each year, might be taken advantage of to test the ability of all field officers, except those of sea coast artillery, to make a dally march of not less than 30 miles, for three days In succession, under conditions suitable to the making of forced marches in active field operations. Tests suitable to the character of the service required of them should also be prescribed for field officers o sea coast artillery. "Annual reports should also be required, under such conditions as will Insure ac curacy and thoroughness, upon every junior officer of the Army, setting forth whether physically qualified for active operations. "Except when excused by higher au thority all officers should accompany their commands on the monthly practice marches, and reports should be required, naming in every , case any who are un able or fall to do so, or fall out on tl.e march. "Appropriate action should be taken In the cases of all officers found not quali fied physically for active service. "It is just as much the duty of all of ficers of the Army to adopt such meas ures and pursue such habits as will main tain a physical condition fit for active service as to cultivate their minds in fit ting them for the Intellectual duties of their profession. "I should also like as much encourage ment given to the cultivation of horse manship In the Army as may be practica ble under the law and likewise to have as many facilities for riding horseback as possible afforded to Infantry captains on Government horses until they have been made mounted officers, as In foreign armies.

However, Should Conditions Demand It, Executive Will Re-issue Proclamation. SALEM. Or., Dec. 5. (Special.) Gov ernor Chamberlain decided today that he will discontinue the business holidays after December 14. This announcement he made in a circular letter, a copy of which he has mailed to all banks. County Courts, Circuit Judges, District Attor neys and all other persons who have written to him on the subject of declar ing the holidays. He says, however, that he will proclaim further holidays later If it should appear necessary. His let ter Is as follows: I have just issued a proclamation continu ing the holiday to and Including the 14th Inst. Conditions are Improving all over the state, and I cannot see any reason for Interfering longer than that with the business of the courts, and the contractual relations of the citizens. I have great confidence in the patriotism of the people, and now that conditions are under stood by them, I am sure the creditor will be lenient with the debtor until confidence Is fully restored and the financial stringency en tirely relieved by further shipments- of money from Eastern banks and individuals. I will discontinue these holidays after the 14th Inst., and will only return to them In case It becomes absolutely necessary as a means of protecting the business interests and credit of the whole .tete. NAMES COUNTY JAILER Court Appoints H. P. Hunter at Sug gestion of Sheriff. H. P. Hunter was appointed by the County Court yesterday to have the cus tody of the prisoners at the County Jail, succeeding Acting Jailer Frank Beatty. Beatty had held tne place since July 2, when George Mitchell went on a vaca tion and resigned. Since November 1 Hunter practically has been In charge of the Jail, but his formal appointment by the County Court was delayed on account of the holidays. The action taken yesterday dates his appointment from November 1. For nine years Jailer Hunter was in the employ of the local freight office of the Northern Pacific, afterwards en listing with Company L, Second Oregon Infantry, as a corporal. He took part In the Philippine campaign, and Is now a member of Scout Young Camp, United Spanish War Veterans. While stationed at the BUIbib military prison, Mr. Hunter gained valuable experience. It was for this reason, among others, that he was chosen for a Jailer by the Sheriff, whose choice was ratified by the County Court. Beatty will continue to work as a dep uty under Sheriff Stevens, doing a part of his field work. Governor O. W. Carter, of Hawaii, says: "Japan would fight the t'nlted States at the drop of the hat should the occasion arise, and you can take It from me that Vnrle Bam would know it was more than a slight , tickling at the ribs before he got through, with the trouble."
