short but Eoreible Message.

Washington, D. c., April 14.-Com-
pressed into what would be not more
than a ten-minute speech on the floor
of congress, President Roosevelt urged
that body, in his special message, to
provide for the construction of four
battleships of the largest and most ap-
proved type at once.
Few Arguments, but Impressive.
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 IN
example of "the peace at any price"
doctrine and Great Britain as having
the naval policy to be emulated.
No Prospect for Disarmament.
The result of the last Hague confer
ence made it plain that the nations
would not for some time, II ever, agree
on a plan for the limitation of naval
armament. Arbitration. the president
said, cannot be relied upon as an eff

administrative board, l ask that you
accept my resignation as trustee of the

An Efficient Faculty.
my connection with the university,
as student, alumnus and trustee, has
extended rel a period Of fifteen years.
l have given to its service my best
judgment and earnest endeavor and
in ~severing my present relation with
the institution, 1 wish to express to
my associates on the board and 10
the faculty, whom / know to be devot-
ed, efficient and loyal, my appreciation
of their unfailing courtesy and con
sheraton.
Alumni Should Be Represented.
In my opinion, however, the board
should be in all respects non-partisan
and the alumni should be well repre-.
scented on it. In order that you may
be free to recognize the expressed
wish of a large number of friends and
patrons of the university and restore
the confidence of the people Of Wyo-
ming in their one institution of learn
ing which should be the hope and
pride of the state, | respectfully re

Present When Monroe Returned.

E. ]. Bell was informed yesterday af-
ternoon, after the shooting of X. b..
Kinley became known generally, that
Monroe, charged with shooting Kin
ley, some time. ago threatened h lives
of both Mr.. Bell and Bert Hoss, the
Millbrook postmaster. Mr.. Bell had
Monroe employed about a month last
fall to herd some bucks. He left the
ranch and disappeared, the next heard
of him being at the Kinley ranch. Mr..
Bell is at a loss to know just why he
and Hoss had been singled out for
slaughter, except that Monroe has a
desire to kill somebody.
Wanted to Commit Crime.
"The manner of his attack upon Kin
streak in his makeup somewhere" Mr..
Bell say "and that he will shoot from
behind when he would not attack a
man from the front. l did him no
harm and Kinley was paying him more
than hi could earn, simply through the
fact that he had a bum leg, and l am
convinced that he has murder in his
heart"
Sheriff Made Long Ride.
1t was Sheriff Bath who received
Monroe from Sonny" Sodergreen and
his companion ant not County Attol-
ney Downey. Mr.. Bath was at his
ranch when the word of the shooting
came and he rode %post-haste across
| the plain to the Kinley ranch, reaching
that ranch after the assailant of the
owner had been returned by Solder
green and his companion.
Bullet Not Yet Located.
Mr.. Kinley was placed under the
X-ray last night, in an effort to locate
the bullet, but Drs. McCollum. Stevens
and Miller could not find 1t. Some
photographs were made from the ex-
posture of the X-ray by e. N. Rogers,
and these will be used in determining
the course OF the bullet, If possible, and
as to the future action of the surgeons.
Mr.. Kinley is resting as comfortably
as could be hoped, having every pros
pect today of complete recovery. Two
Of his ribs were broken by the bullet.
