The Governor was evidently in a
bad humor when he returned from
Texas this morning over the dilatory
tactics OF the Kansae City Police
Board. He was not In his Office ten
minutes until he telegraphed TO Com.
missioner Rozzelle, asking for his re.
siguati0n by telegraph. When noon
came the Governor was not hungry.
his office force was but that did not
matter to the Governor. He waited
and waited for a reply. None came.
About 3 O'Clock the Governor indited
another message to Mr.. Rochelle. This
notified him that be had been sum-
marily removed. Following this the
Governor wrote his statement.
This move can hardly mean any
thing else than that Chief Hayes, Of
the Kansas City police, will be remoy-
cd Ii be does not resign before the
board has been recognized. From
what the Governor says 1t seems that
Mr.. Rozzelle could not be induced to
act In harmony with the other mem
bers OF the board. The Governor stat
ed tonight that be would appoint Mr.
Rozzelle's successor tomorrow.
The Governors statement in part
was as follows;
The investigation OF the Kansas
City Police Department has shown,
among other things, the following:

Department and notorious thieves,

1t should be a canse OF qualification
to every citizen Of Missouri that the
State University, Of Columbia, is the
most rapidly growing institution of
its kind In the federal union. The
enrolment during the past session,
exclusive OF 246 entered in University
extension courses, was 2292. Early
last fall the Boston Transcript gave
the University Of Missouri second
place in rapidly growth, and this was
before the opening Of the Short Course
in Agriculture In Columbia, the en-
rollment In which easily brought the
State University to first place. The
right OF the University to this claim
was confirmed in November by Pro-
fessor Tombo, Registrar OF Columbia
University In the City Of New York.
After the University OF Missouri
other American universities ranked as
follows: Indiana, Iowa, Dartmouth,
Kansas, Illinois, Chicago, Pennsyl-
yania, Ohio, Tufts College, Virginia,
Georgia, Boston, Wisconsin, Cornell,
Nebraska, Michigan, Yale, Columbia,
Harvard, and Minnesota. There is
hardly any doubt that next year will
see 1900 or more students enrolled In
the different Departments OF the Uni
versity Of Missouri.
While the income OF a number of
universities is greater in the aggre-
gate than that of the State University
the income per student at Missouri is
only exceeded by that of two similar
institutions, the Universities OF ILL.,
nols and Wisconsin. In the present
biennial period the University of Mis-
souri, will be able, through the gen.
erosity Of the state and fedora
governments to spend annually
In the higher education Of the
young men and young women
OF Missouri the sum Of $780,
900, the equivalent OF the interest at S
per cent on an endowment fund Of
81, LOCO, 900.
The time has passed when any
Missouri boy or girl need turn from
their native state for educational ad-
vantages. The development Of the
system Of public schools, extending
from the kindergarten at the bottom
through the grade school and the
high school to the university has
taken place In Missouri as in few other
American commonwealth. and has
brought the priceless boon OF learning
within reach of the humblest as well
as Of the most well-to-do. Missouri
can now offer educational oppor-
tunities equal to those OF any state
and far superior to those of most Of
her sister commonwealth. d1w1

started at the ice plant last Friday
afternoon, 1t seemed for a few min.
utes that 1t was not going to be
stopped before the monster engine

was caused by some object getting
into the throttle head, so that the

blown of, and four valves we're brok-

ment.
Walker was on his way to the City

and on the very night that he passed
through Saltlllo some person entered
a car in which a number Of cows were
being shipped and MANNED every one
OF them. The cows were owned by

rested In this city. He was returned
to Saltillo and placed in prison on
March 8, 1906. He has been kept in

ker was convicted solely upon circum.
stantial evidence. 1t was proved that
he was on the through passenger train
that arrived in Saltillo about 2 q. m.
and that the train remained at the
station 30 minutes. The prosecution
claimed that this gave him ample
time to leave his car and visit the
cattle car. Walker proved by the
testimony OF the sleeping car porter
that he did not leave his berth. Mr..
Pipes estimated his loss at $1,000.
