PRESIDENT URGES
MORE BATTlESH|PS
Send Special Mes
sage toCongress
on Subject
NOT ACHING FOR WAR
However Chief Executive
Says United States Must
Not Court Insults.

Washington, April 14.-(Bulletin.)
Compressed into what would be not
more than a ten minutes speech on
the floor of Congress, President
Roosevelt today urged that body in a
special message TO provide for the
construction Of four additional bat
tleships of the largest and most ap-
proved type at once.
The arguments of the President to
impress his insistence on this naval
program were few but calculated to
be effective. China was held up as an
example Of the Peace at any Price
doctrine and Great Britain as having
naval policy to be emulated. The re-
suit of the last Hague peace confer,
ence made it plain that the nations
would not for some time If ever agree
on a plan for the limitation of naval
armament. Arbitration, the President
said, cannot be relied upon as an eff
fective remedy, though it should be
utilized to its fullest extent.
Disclaiming any intention on the
part of the United States to ever
engage in a war of conquest, Presi
dent Roosevelt made it plain that this
country could i'll afford to relax into
a place where insults would have tc
be borne in silence.

CONVICT BECOMES
RAVING MANIAC
George Labadie Sent up From Cofax
County Will Be Taken to Insane
Asylum.

George Labadie, former Santa Fe
railroad employe, who was convicted
,of burglary at the recent term of the
district court for Colfax county held
lat Ration, and sentenced to term OF
one year in the territorial penitentiary
should have been sent to the asylum
for the insane at Las Vegas instead of
to the penitentiary, according to the
prison authorities.
Labadie, who is man past middle
age, was at one time prominent and
respected resident of Ration and en-
ployed as ticket agent for the Santa
Fe railway in that city. Financial re-
verses it is said, drove him to drink
and he lost his position. 1t is then
alleged he entered the Office of the
railroad company one night some
months ago and stole railroad ticket
valued at SIS. For this crime he was
tried and convicted.
During his confinement in the coun.
ty Jail at Ration it is said he at
times became irrational and it is pre-
sumed the disgrace of going to the
penltentiary so preyed upon his mind
that 1t drove him insane. He was
brought to the territorial prison last
Sunday night and today was reported
to be a raving maniac.
He has been placed In padded
cell and Superintendent John w.
Green has taken steps tor his imme.

lum at Las Vegas.

New York April 14.--A lively con

members OF the state central commit
tee to prevent the ousting of Patrick
H. McCarrens delegates from sixteen
contested districts in Kings county
and the prospect of lively fight by
the followers of Bryan to secure rec

delegation instructed in his behalf the
outlook was that the proceedings
would be exciting. About the only
thing that seemed to be taken for
granted was the plan to send an unin.
structed delegation from New York
TO the Denver convention in spite of
the efforts of the Bryan leaders in this
state who are largely in the minority
Court Modifies Its Order
After an argument before Justice
Crane the court modified the previ
ous order so that while the state com
|mittee may not strike the names OF
the McCarren delegates from the tenn
porary roll the contest may be carried
to the floor Of the convention. It is
said the convention is to Judge its
members.

Wonderful Recovery Of San Francisco
in Two Years-Not a Single
Case Of Plague Now Exists.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE Cali
fornia promotion committee made the
following announcement yesterday:
"The great city of San Francisco,
which two years ago was in great con.
fusion and its streets filled with de-
bris, has had wonderful growth of
Reorganization. When it is considered
that over one hundred million dollars
has been put into buildings alone, the
immensely of the work accomplished
may be realized. In addition the city
has good house cleaning and is now
pronounced one of the cleanest and
most heathful cities in the United
States. People from all parts of the
nation are preparing to attend the fes-
|tivities attending the arrival of the
fleet at San Francisco and in this con
|nection the health authorities of the
|city and the federal authorities state
that the residences and places of bus
ness are cleaner than ever before
that no case of plague has occurred
in over sixty days and that no cases
|are now under suspicion"

FORCED TO CLOSE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Studies in Lower Grades Dispensed
With For Present Term--High
School to Continue.

At the request of DR.. James A. Mas
sic, city physician, the Board of Edu'
cation held a special meeting this az
ternoon at Q o'clock and decided to
close all the grades In the city schools
for the balance of the term except in
the seventh and eighth grades and the
High School.
This action was taken on account
of the number of new scarlet fever
cases reported among the children in
the lower grades and it was thought
that il the studies in these grades
were continued the disease might
spread further and the condition be-
come "a serious one.
The High School and the seventh
and eighth grade pupils are old enough
to take care of themselves and the
teachers will take every precaution
to keep the disease from spreading
The order of the board of health be
|came effective at once and the grades
mentioned closed this afternoon.
The members Of the Board of Edu
cation present discussed the advisa
bility Of having ten months Of schoo
during the next school year on ac
count of the set back caused by the
closing of the schools at this early 6
date.
A special meeting of the city coun
Gil will be held tomorrow night al
which meeting special health officer
will be appointed, whose duty it vii
be to look after and see that all cases
|of contagious diseases are placed un
| der strict quarantine and kept there
until they get well. Mayor Catron and
other members Of the city council are
of the opinion that the opera house
skating rink and other indoor public
lplaces of amusement be closed unit
warm weather kills the germs Of the
disease.

The pseudo minister claims to be
looking for work in some vacant
church and will fill the pulpit when
requested, very acceptably. Before
leaving he claims that he has run
short of money and asks that he be

presents credentials and usually sue

Plea for Disgraced
Soldiers
URGES THEIR V|ND|cAT|oN
Wants Bill Providing for Re.
Enlistment of Discharged
Troops Passed.

Washington, April IA careful
analysis of the testimony taken In the
investigation of the shooting up OF
Brownsville, Texas, on the nights OF
August Is and IA, 1906, and the argu
ment in favor of the re-enlistment of
the colored soldiers of the Twenty
fifth Regiment of U. S. Infantry, was
made in speech delivered today by
Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio.
The Senate gave the closest atten-
tion to the speech and the galleries
were filled with spectators. Senator
Foraker discaimed that the investiga-
tion was made to embarrass President
Roosevelt or any one else. but that it
vas madA to ascertain the facts. He
stated tha most of the witnesses who
re against the soldiers had testified
different times and their testi.
was sufficiently contradictory
/, a all of it to be unreliable while
the discharged men gave their testi.
mony in straightforward way
In regard to the cartridge shells
that were found after the shooting up
of the town, Senator Foraker said II
was impossible for the soldiers to
have obtained the cartridges without
this fact developing in the examn-
ton. Another strong point he made
was that there was no motive for the
soldiers shooting up the town"
Senator Foraker strongly urged the
passage Of his bill which annuls the
record Of discharge without honor and
provides for the re-enistment of all
the discharged soldiers. He closed his
speech with praise for the negro race
which he said had ever been loyal to
America and American institutions.

CONVICTS MAKE
BREAK FOR LIBERTY
Two Short Term Prisoners in Terri
toriaI Penitentiary Manage to EIude
Guards all Night.

Two short term cOnyicts, Frank
O'Neil, known as Convict No. 2121,
and John Williams, a negro, known as
Convict No. 1920 made an unsuccess-
| full break for liberty last night. AL
though the convicts managed to elude
the guards all night they never got
outside the stockade which surrounds
the penitentiary.
When the days work was over yes
terday and the men were locked up
for the night, O'Neil and Williams
were missed. 4 search was at once in
stituted for them. The prison attaches
were certain that neither had managed
to get outside the stockade so every
possible hiding place inside the walls
was searched.
The prisoners first secreted
themselves in brick kiln and
when close pressed went to the stable
in the prison yard. From there they
icrawled across the ball grounds on
their hands and knees and hid in a
large woodpile and from there they
Iretreated to tunnel connecting the
bakery with the kitchen, where they
were finally discovered at daylight
and captured by Guard Gomez, assist.
ed by a convict named King.
The unruly prisoners were at once
placed in solitary confinement and
thereafter will be compelled to wear
stripes which will identify them as
dangerous convicts who need close
watching.
O'Neil was sent up from Colfax coun.
ty year ago this month to serve a
term of two years for burglary. Will.
liams entered the prison from Berna
lilo county last November to serve a
two years term, also for burglary.
