The ' entrance offenders gained an east g is presumed, through window opening Into the dining room at the rear of the priest's residence. The housekeeper was asleep upstairs is the rear of the house, Father Cushnahan occupied his bed in a room near the front and Fatner Ryan slept undisturbed while the burglars were committing their nefarious arts in a room directly below his own. Made Many Trips The burglar, or burglars, after entering through the window, made several trips from the kitchen, where the Tver had been placed late last evening, after being cleaned by the housekeeper, to the open window leaving trails alt through the lower part of the residence, which could be clearly followed by the drippings of candle grease upon the carpeted floors. from In order to reach the kite-hethe dining room the robbers panned several times a smaller silver service which was upon the dining table. This was left untouched, as wss a handsome set of knives and forks in a sideboard drawer, which had been opened, ns tbs telltale drops of candle grease were found within. It seems evident that the work must have been done someone familiar with the interior of the priest's residence, as the sllvr service which wss taken had usually occupied a plaoe In the dining room which the roubers select-e- d to make their entrance. Thievies Use Peer Judgment It is considered strange that the culprits should have disdained the theft of the knlvee and forks which were of value and of the sllvfr set In plain view on the dining room table. It la also considered oomewhat remarkable that such petty trifles as a new pair of shoes and cigars, with a quantity of tobacco should have been taken, when the more valuable articles as well as the money In the kitchen drawer' were overlooked. The police department has been at work on the case alt day but has failed to And anything of importance which would shed a ray of light on the bur-liar- s' identity. It is presumed that the men the who engineered crime will melt the sl.ver down and attempt to dispoae of it in this way. The principal pieces taken, which were all parts of a handsome set to Father Cushnahan on hie Jubilee here, are a huge water pitcher of beautiful design, two or three large, and a large aoup tray, a tea-p-ot toureen, all of which could be easily Identified as several of the pieces bear the Initials of the priest 'and other enpro-ernt- ed slaving. WEBER CLUB (8tat Journal Special) SALT LAKE CITY, April 14. Jena M. Kellsen of Pleasant Grove was the cause of a sensation in this city today, and Detective Birch incidentally had a narrow escape from a miserable death. Some Keileen time , ego brought suit against ihc sheriff of Utah county for putting him In prison on the charge of Insanity. Attorney A. A. Duncan of this city was retained on the case by Netlsen, but later threw It up. This act seems to have enraged the client. He came to Salt Lake City, purchased a new revolver and started out gunning for his former attorney. When he reached Duncan's office iu the Constitution building the attorney was out and Judge C. M. Keileen, hie partner, took to flight In fear of hie life. Detective Birch was the first who could reach the scene. When he entered Keilacn, who seemed to he In a frensy, placed the mussle of his revlfl-vagainst the officer's stomach and pulled the trigger. Birch saved hie life by knocking the . gun aside Just as It was discharged. Ketlsen waa taken into custody.

The delivery of the iftesaage waa timed to reach the House before a vote could bo taken on the battleship provision In the navel appropriation bill. The message says: Nsed Now Beats "To provide but one of two battleships this year le to provide that this nation, instead of advancing, shall go backwards In naval rank and relative power among the great nations. Such a course would he unwise if we fronted merely on one ocean, but It would he doubly unwise since we front on two oceans: As the chief executive of the nation and commander In chief of the navy there is imposed upon me a solemn responsibllty of advising Congress on this measure which I deem necessary to secure the peace and welfare of the republic in the event of International complications which event to remotely possible.

Continuing President Roosevelt says that at on time h thought once that one new battleship would be sufficient, but the refusal of the Hague conference to limit armament compete a more vigorous policy.
