after that body convened on Friday
Pension legislation was interrupted
for the reading of the document and
the speaker advised members to pay
close attention thereto because no
printed copies had arrived for distri-
button among them.
Practically all of the members pres
ent remained in their seats and fol-
lowed the reading closely and care
fully.
when the reading OF the message
had been concluded roar of applause
arose from the Republican side OF the
chamber and several Democratic mem
bers also joined in the demonstration
of approval.
The message deals wholly with the
subject of the conservation of the ma
tional resources of land, water, forests
minerals and power sites and the al
lied subject Of inland waterways.
Many recommendations and sugges
tons are made for needed legislation
on these subjects, one of special inter
est to the west being that bond issue

RULES WITH HAND OF IRON.
King Alfonso Qickly Puts Down
Internal Troubles.

Madrid.-King Alfonso, sitting as
president of the cabinet, ruled with
an iron hand in putting down the
Internal troubles threatened by reve-
lations printed in military newspa-
per.
These revelations had for their
purpose the engendering of bad blood
between the army and the govern
ment over the distribution of honors
TO the troops in Morocco.
The kings part in the affair leaked
out Friday when it became known
that his majesty sanctioned the in
slant removal of Count Villara, cap
tain-general of Madrid, and of the
captains-general of Villadolid, Corun
ma and Valencia, and had ordered the
arrest Of other officers implicated.
Newspapers justify the prompt and
stringent methods taken to put down
the conspiracy, which, it is believed
had broader ramifications than tht
mere resignation of the ministry anC
extended even SO far as an attemp
to foment Carlist uprising undel

robbing the house with woman ac-
complete; that Jennie Olson was not
killed by Mrs Guinness, but persisted
in the fire that destroyed the Gun

| by Lamphere was part of that he
bought for Mrs Guinness to kill three
men, one of whom was Andrew Hell
gelein. the other probably Ole Buds
burg and Tonnes Petersen Lien, and
that one of these men, prCbably Lien
was the third husband of Mrs. Gun
ness.

sion, had a guilty knowledge of the
murder of three men in the Guinness
