SIGNS SUPPLY BILLS
Governor Outs Down New
 York Appropriations.
MANY LARGE ITEMS LEFT OUT.
Other Measures Await Signature. Total Reduction From Bills aS Passed Expected to Reach
 Over Two Millions.

ALBANY, N. Y, May 15.-Governor Odell has signed the three important bills which provide for the mainte- nance of the state for the fiscal year be- ginning Oct. 1. They are known as the appropriation bill, the supply bill and the supplemental supply bill, and in the form in which they reached the secretary of states office they appro- priate in round numbers $20, ,549, 136.
 AS the bills were sent to the governor from the legislature they appropriated $21 ,95S, 1865, but under the power ac- corded him only with these three bills the executive vetoed items amounting to $1, ,4O0, ,729. This was done without cutting in any way the appropriations for schools, charitabl institutions or insane hospitals, and, in fact, all three of these departments received substan- tial increases. There is, however, a general increase over last year in the totals of the bills of $1 ,2OO,9O2, distrib- uted as follows: Appropriation bill in- crease $673,96O; supply bill increase, S579,O3S; total, $1,252,9 ,99S; supplement tai supply bill decrease, $52,O96; net increase over 1902, $1,200,902.
 The principal increases are for public institutions.
 The most important items cut from the bills were:
 One for $400,OOO to pay the rebates on liquor licenses. It is believed that there is sufficient money now in the treasury in surplus funds to pay any number of rebates that may be re- quired. -....
 The item of $1O,ooO for the continu- ation of the forestry experiments by Cornell university. This is vetoed on the ground that the experiments of the last year have lost to the state for nearly half century valuable tract of forest land.
 Four hundred thousand dollars for good roads on the ground that $500, ,OO0 would be sufficient to meet any similar amount of money which the various counties might raise this year for that purpose.
 Tn addition to these, many appropria- tions for increases in departmental work, for new bridges on the canals, for special appropriations for main tenance of the canals and for addi- I1OuAA CAcIICdl IOECc HI O1HCSS COutIOllSu by the state were cut out.
 Of the $20,54e, 136 appropriated $11,- 454, ,0OO is for the maintenance of schools, charitable institutions and the insane.
 The governor has a great many other appropriation bills still in his hands, which he will act upon today, and when they are finished it is expected that he will have cut down the legisla- ture's appropriations by about $2, 100,. 0OO .s"H

 A CHAMPION 8LOWHARD.
Though Badly Battered and De1e ated
 Mike Talked Like a Man tN Who Had Won.

Passengers near the fore end of the trolley car became aware of trouble on the back platform. The car was on the midnight run between Newark and Jersey, City, speeding over a five-miIe stretch of uninha bit ed meadow wilder ness. For some time angry voices had been heard, and now to these were added frightened exclamations from women sitting nearest the rear door. A loud voice in full-mouthed Irish brogue sounded like bass drum above all others and uniformed the crowd what its owner thought of it, individ- ually and collectively. Finally blows were struck, and Mike was in his glory; handing out buffets right and left, re-. latea the New York Times.
 Things were fine as silk" and promising better, and the car was at the darkest point of it's run, when the little conductor pulled the bell cord and brought it to halt. Without a word and without consulting soul he got Mike by the nape of the neck, landed few choice blows by way of preparation of what was still to come, and projected the big man into space and a neighboring mud ditch.
 Don't put him off here!" "Ah, let the poor fellow back!" He'll never get home if you fire him off" and similar remarks from sympathetic passe ngers were launched, and high above these sounded Mikes own promises to be good.
 So the conductor relented and al- lowed the fighter back on the .platfo orm. But he was a sight. There he stood, plastered black from head to foot, with fast-swelling eye, a sad-loolking nose, and coat, collar and necktie torn to ribbons. The noble Hibernian spirit, however, refused to bend even to cir cumstantial evidence. He winked be- tween labored puffs at the nearest passengers, glared defantly at the lit tie conductor, and with a triumphant twitch of the head said:
 "That's the kind uv bhoy am!-- so I am!"

Teamsters Cause Serious Trouble by
 Violence to Strike Breakers.

OMAHA, Neb., May 15.-A riot oc- cured at Seventeenth and Chicago streets when a driver was pulled from his wagon and beaten. The crowd had dispersed when the police arrived. An other driver, accompanied by depu- ty, was taken from his wagon, and the deputy did not attempt to protect him.
 In several instances drivers were stopped, their teams unhitched and the contents of the wagons strewn on the street.
 Chief Donahue says that at meet ing of teamsters 1t was decided to adopt forcible measures if necessary. This President Crews of the teamsters' union denies absolutely and says union men have been warned that they will not receive protection when arrested for violence. The situation seems to be more strained than at any time since the strike began, and further trouble is feared. Attorneys for the Business Mems association intimate that the governor will be asked again to take a hand and to send troops to Omaha.

PRESIDENT IGNORED
Roosevelt Gets Degree of
 Doctor of Laws.
HIGHEST HONOR THE STATE KNOWS
California Eulogized by His Excel 1ency, Its Climate, Its People, It's University and Its Great
 Probabilities.

Possibilities.
 l BERKELEY, Gal, May 15.-The cit izens of Berkeley united with the mem- bers of the faculty and students of the University of California in rendering tremendous ovation to President Roosevelt and party. Long before the hour set for arrival of the special train the school children of the city, gayly festooned with flowers, assembled on either side of the street leading to the university entrance. The thoroughfare had been brilliantly decorated for the occasion, and when the presidential party passed up the street the avenue was carpeted with blossoms. l Carriages and a committee of repre- sentative citizens were in waiting at the station, and the drive to the new amphitheater at the university, where the commencement exercises were held, was taken up immediately on the arrival of the president.
 As he stepped from his carriage and made his way to the amphitheater he was surrounded by sixteen cavalry men. He wore a hood and gown in conformity with the degree of doctor of philosophy.
 i The programme had been timed so that the presidential party arrived just 1 before the conferring of degrees by Governor Pardee to the members of the graduating class.
 After the cheers had subsided the student body greeted the head of the nation with the Harvard yell. He gave approval by mods and smiles. President Benjamin Ide Wheeler then conferred degrees upon the 400 collegians, who sat upon the stage with cap and gown. After this the president was intro duced by President Wheeler, who sim ply said:
 Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States"
 Then as the chief executive, attired 'u black academic robe trimmed with purple, stepped into the sunlight Presi- dent Wheeler said:
 Theodore Roosevelt, by authority of the regents of the University of Cali fornia confer upon you the degree of doctor of laws. This is the highest honor the state knows how to confer on you. Its best it gives gladly"
 President Roosevelt then addressed the assemblage, eulogizing the state, Its people and the university, speaking In affectionate terms of his old time friend, President Wheeler. At the close of the exercises the president left for Oakland, where he was escorted through the principal streets, accompa- nied by Governor Pardee, Senator Per kins and the reception committee. In front of the high school the president delivered a short address. He was then escorted to the water front en route to the Mare Island navy yard.
