Washington.-''If l could have fore
sseu how things were going to frame

President Roosevelt fairly chopped
his words when he ~savagely made that
announcement today to a senator who
stood bv him in his fight for Jour bat
tleships.
There is no doubt but that the presl-
dent is more angry than he has ever
been before over the attitude OF n
press toward the executive and his leg
i~slative programme.
There has never been a presidents
message so discourteOusly received as
was the one SEN to congress yesterday.
La the house it was ignored entirely.
In the senate, as sOon as a message from
the president was announced, the sena-
tors yawoed and moved that it be laid
over for a day or Two. This was done
and the senate adjourned without even
d polite inquiry as to what the message
Was about.
