HAYDEN, Colo, April s.-Indians in

reported to be sullen and ugly
game wardens to drive them back TO
the Uintah reservation. This news was
brought by t. Nj. Wingrove and son.
trappers, who have spent the entire
winter in the White River region.
The Apaches, the Wingroves say, are
! slaughtering deer ruthlessly. and pay
no attention to the perfunctory warn
| ings of the game wardens. who have
no means of enforcing their commands.
President Roosevelt, if he makes an
extended stay, 1T Is said, will hardly
fail TO encounter some of the bands OF
angry Indians. They have heard the

some of the redskins have announced

GREETING AT ALAMO.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April with
| San Antonio richly decorated with pat
| riotic emblems and the streets filed
with cheering throngs Of people, Theo-
dore Roosevelt to-day could not mis-
take the hearty welcome accorded him.
Enormous crowds Of people greeted
him along the route Of the procession
from Fort Sam Houston to Alamo
Plaza, where an address Of welcome
was delivered and a response was
made. The people felt that they had
as their guest not only the President
of the United States, but a man toward
| whom the people Of San Antonio feel
especially friendly on account OF the
| fact that it was here that the Rough
Riders Regiment was organized.
The President was delighted with the
reception. He was kept busy bowing
right and left acknowledging the out
bursts Of enthusiasm. 1t is seven years
since President Roosevelt left San An
tonic with his Rough Riders.
mo human being dreamed that after
that would return as President Of the
United States he said IN a short ad-
dress at the railway station.
In Alamo Plaza. within the shadow
of the old Alamo, which the President
said had seven years ago filed him
with a determination to do nothing to
reflect on the heroes who died there.
he was greeted IN a manner which
touched him. His arrival was the sig
nal for a burst Of cheering which lasted
until after he had taken his seat on the
stand, and which was renewed when
he rose to respond TO the address OF
welcome.
The Presidents speech was frequent
ly punctuated by applause. He was
pleased that San Antonio agreed with
him in his ideas on race suicide. He
noted with satisfaction the attention
Texans were paying to education. The
law of the worthy life, the effort In q
cause worthy Of striving for. was his
theme. His reception throughout Texas
had touched him, he said.
TRIBUTE TO MOTHERHOOD.
The speech covered much the same
ground as former addresses. The Presi-
dent said In conclusions:
There Is only one Of my fellow-citi-
zens to whom VIII touch my hat
quicker than to the soldier. and that
is the mother, because I think she has
a little harder time Of It The mother
who has brought UP. as they should be
brought up, a family OF young chill
dren Is entitled to such respect as no
other person in the community IS en-
titled.
I'VE all believe in the Monroe doc
trine. I have little difficulty In get
ting some OF my friends TO accept my
Interpretation OF 1t. but they will in
time, because that Interpretation has
come to stay. We are building the
Panama canal. While that will be a
benefit to all the country. it will be Of
most benefit to the Gulf States. We
have duties in connection with the
great position we have taken We can
not shirk these duties. We can do
| them well or do them i'll, but do them
we must. That is one reason why
want to see good navy. and we have
a good navy"
After leaving the plaza the Presi-
dents progress was again hindered by
/ wildly cheering crowds that lined the
streets until he got far on his way to
| the fair grounds. After the party en-
| tered the fair grounds the Rough Rid
ers pressed around the President and
the Secret Service men moved away.
This informal reception lasted for half
an hour, the President greeting and
chatting with each of the men who had
served with him
A banquet was given the President
in the Mengor Hotel this evening by
the Business Mems Club. At its con-
clusion the club gave him handsome
pair of silver spurs with gold buttons
and ornaments. The President bade
farewell to the Rough Riders in the
parlors Of the hotel His train left for
Fort Worth at IL o'clock tonight
