' RANGE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE No Heavy Losses Reported by Either the Sheep or Cattle Raisers. CHEYENNE, "Wyo., Feb. 16.-(Special.) Saturday night's storm was of short dura tion and so far as known no damage was ooie. The weather remains cold, but as a high wind carried tlie sr.ow oft of the rarge livo stock wilt have no difficulty in getting plenty of feed. While conditions In the eastern portion of the Red desert, which la occupied by the sleep of Carbon county, are not as satisfactory as the flockmasters could wish, still conditions in the western portion, where the Sweetwater county flocks range, are In the main satisfactory, and sheep are doing well. Considerable feeding is belrg done In the eastern portion, where snow covers the ground and where In msry sections a thick crust obtains on the snow, but to date the losses are not above normal, and with anything like favorable condlttona from now on sheepmen will not complain. In northeast Wyoming conditions are Im proving dally. Snow fell In that kection In October and has since covered almout all of the range and sheep grating has been extremely difficult, although no loeaea have been reported. The lip and leg ulceration Is yielding to treatment and tl.a sheep owners are in better spirits, This disease, which is not of a specific nature, also prevails In Converse and Na trona counties, and recent reports sum that the malady ia also yielding to treat u.ent there. The range conditions have been unfavorable for treating the disease ci.d favorable for Its spread, but condi tions are Improving. Cattlemen report that while this has been a leng, hard winter no serious losses to date have been reported. Feeding is In progress on almost every ranch in the slate, and this applies to sheep as well as cattle, but the stockmen have plenty of hay, for In many localities they have stacka that have been In plaos for two and three years. While the winter has been a severs one, although there have been no real bllxiards, stock in general la in good condition and with the supply of hay and grain on hand there should be no severe losses, even though, the severity of the weather should continue through until spring.

MAINE VICTIMS REMEBERED Services in Washington on Eleventh Anniversary of Diiatter. SIGSBEE IS PRINCIPAL SPEAKER Coaamander ef Ill-r'ated V ease I Ue elarea Ills Mrs Served the) Coaa trr as Falthfally as Soldiers ea Battlefield. WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-Memorles of the men who were plunKed to sudden death whe.i the battleship Maine went down In the waters of Havana harbor, eleven years a 30 today, were honored In song and story here today In observance of the anniver sary by military, religioua and patriotic bodies. Beautiful and Impressive were the cere monies at St. Patrick's Catholic church, where a military masa was celebrated for the dead heroes by Rev. Thomas E. Mc Ouigan. Rev. Dr. William T. Russell, pas tor of St. Patrick's delivered the eulogy. A pilgrimage was made to Arlington, where at the granite shaft which towers above 165 of the Maine victim, services unusual In their solemnity were conducted In the presence of a throng of people. Rear Admiral Slgbee, retired, commander of the Ill-fated battleship was the chief speaker, and In stlrrlngords he depicted the story of the cat Rapt rone which led the nations to war. "On that dark, overcast and omlnouely quiet night, eleven years ago," lie said. "taps took on a- new meaning to the sur vivors of the Maine. They were sounded that night with exceptional-solemnity. Tn the pauses the echoes rolled back from the hills with euch distinctness that all must have listened and heard. Taps, the nightly signal for silence snd sleep, was therefore the last distinctive sound heard by the men in life, for in one-half hour they were dead for the greater part dead In their sleep. And the bugler, himself, was dead. He bad sounded a requiem for himself and his shipmates. Dead Are Not Forgottea. "We are assembled here today, some ss Individuals and others aa members of pat riotic organisations, to honor our dead. The. manner of their dying calls for our deepest sympathy and most profound sor row. The honorable chance of war that others had later these men did not have, yet Just as truly they served their ceuntry well. Beyond all doubt our whole people feel deeply the loss of the Maine's men and with no passing grief. The rresent gathering and the gatherings at ceremonies elsewhere today show that these dead are not forsrotten. To me, as to no other man, has come a knowledge of the sorrows and distresses spread broadcast by the catas trophe of the Maine. Comrades and friends, as the commander of the Maine when It was lost, snd far as I may assume to be representative on this occasion. I Join my hands in yours In patriotic fellowship and In grateful appreciation of these commem orative services at Arlington." Several others delivered brief addresses. Two troops of mounted men from Fort Myer fired the salute. A large floral trib ute was sent by President Roosevelt and many wreaths were contributed by Indi viduals and patriotic organisations. PBOCKEnlMiS OF THE SEX ATE Growth of Expenditure for Naval aad Military Purposes Dleeoasvad. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. The senate de voted most of the day to considering the naval appropriation bill and there was rruch discussion concerning the growth of government expenditures for military pur- rxHS. Mr. Hall declared unless a halt Is called It will be necensnry for congress to Itsue bonds or to Increase taxation. Senators Lafollette nnd Dixon criticised raval methods and especially tho use of public funds for construction of a navy yard. Senator Hale warned (he senate that un less more rapid progress could be made night sessions would soon become neces sary. An appropriation of $12,000,000 Is proposed for the construction of auxiliary ships, such ea transports, dispatch boats, cruisers and scouts that may be necessary In time of war In an amendment to the naval bill offered today by Senator Newlands. The amendment also provides that In time of peace these vessels shall be leased for commercial use. Discussing the naval bill. Senator Hale predicted that if tho present rate of In crtase tn appropriations continued It would be necessary for uu Increase of the rate of taxation or borrow money. At the present rate of increase of the navy, Mr, Hale continued, next year $160,000,000 will be required and would be $.'00,000,000 tho year after. The commltteo prcvlnon to create the rank of vice admiial In the interests of Admiral Evans was eliminated on a point cf cider made by Senator Rayner of Mary land. FEAR TROUBLE IN TURKEY Political C a rest Follows Dismissal of Kramll Paaha from Poet of Urasi Vlsler. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 15.-Tlie dis missal of Kiamil Pasha from the post of grand visier has caused considerable po lit leal unrest, and public feeling continues excited by whut Is characterised as the desputism of the Young Turks' committee I'p to the present tltno there have been no actual disturbances, but yet in some quar ters of the city pistol shots were heard and there was more or less of a panic. LONDON. Feb. 15. The dismissal of Kia mil Pasha lias created a decjdedly bad Im pression in England of the atabtlity of the new Turkish regime. The Young Turks up to the present time have commanded the strongest support here.

CARE OF NEEDY CHILDREN (Continued from First Tage.) rate, physical degeneracy, orphanage. Juvenile delinquency ' and Juvenile courts, desertion and Illegitimacy, dangerous oc cupations, accidents and diseases of child ren of the working classes, employment, legislation affecting children In the several states and territories, snd such other facts as have a bearing upon the health, efficiency, character and training of child ren.' "One of the needs felt most acutely by the conference was that of sccurate In formation concerning these questions re lating to childhood. The national govern ment not only has the. unquestioned right of research In such vltsl matters, but Is the only agency which can effectively de duct such general Inquiries as are needed for the benefit ot all our citizens. In ac cordance with the unanimous request of the conference, I therefore moat heartily urge your favorable action on these meas ures. Need of Child Statistics. "It Is not only discreditable to us as a people that there Is now no recognised and authorlttve source of Information upon these subjects relating to child life, but In the absence ot such Information as-should be supplied by the federsl government many abuses have gone unchecked; for public sentiment, with its great corrective power, can only be aroused by full know ledge of the facta. In addition to such In formation aa the census bureau and other existing agencies of the federal government already provide, there remains much to be ascertained through lines of research not now authorised by law; and there should be correlation and dissemination of the knowledge obtained without any duplica tion of effort or Interference with what la already being done. There ars few things more vital to the welfare of the nation than accurate and dependable knowledge of the best methods of dealing with children, especially with those who sre In 'one way or another handicapped by misfortune; and In the absence ot such knowledge each community la left to work ' out Its own problem without being able to learn of and profit by the success or failure of other communities along the same lines of endeavor. The bills for the establishment of the Children's bureau are advocated not only by this conference, but by a large number of national organizations tnat sre aisinterestediy wonting tor me welfare of children, and also by the phil anthropic, educational and religioua bodies In all part of the country. I further urge that' such legislation be enscttd as may necessary In order to bring the laws and practices In regard to the care of dependent children In all federal territory Into harmony with the other con clusions reached by the conference. - Legislation la Territories. "Congress took a step In the direction of the conclusions of this, conference In 1833, when, on the recommendation of the late Amos G. Warner, then superintendent of charatiea for the District of Columbia, the Board of Children'a Guardians was created, with authority, among other things, to place children in family homes. That board has made conima'Msble progress ' and Its work should be stTrtigthdned and extended. "I recommend legislation for the Dtstiiot of Columbia In accordance with the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth sections of the conclusions of the conference, ss follows: "1. That ths approval of the Board of Charities be required for the Incorporation of all child-caring agencies, as well as amendments ot the charter of any benevo lent corporation which Includes . chlld carlng work, and that other than duly In corporated agencies be forbidden to engage In the care of needy children. This legis lation Is needed In order to Insure the fit ness and responsibility of those who pro pose to undertake the care of helpless children. Such laws have long been In sat isfactory operation In several of the larger states of the union. "J. That the Board of Charities, through Its duly authorized agents, shall Inspect the work of all agenclea which care for de pendent children, whether by Institutional or by home-finding methods, and whether supported by public, or private funds. The state has always jealously guarded the In terests of children whose parents have been able to leave them property by re quiring the appointment of a guardian, un der bond, accountable dlreotly to the courts, even though there be a competent surviving patent. Surely the Interests cf the child who Is not only an orphan, but penniless, ought to be no less sacred than those of the more fortunate orphan who Inherits property. If the protection of the government Is necessary tn the one case it Is even more necessary In the other. If we are to require that only Incorporated In stitutions shall be allowed to engage in this responsible work It Is necessary to provide for publlo Inspection, lest the stats should become the unconscious partner of those who either from Ignorance or Inefficiency ars unsulted to deal with ths problem. Education ef Orphans. J. That education of children In orphan asylums and other similar institutions In the District of Columbia be under the su pervision of the Board of Education, in order that these children may enjoy edu cational advantages equal to those of the other children. Normsl school life comes next to normal home life In the process of securing the fullest development of the child. "4. That all agencies engaged In child caring work in the District of Columbia be required by law to adopt adequate methods of Investigation and make permanent rec ords relative to children under their care, and to exercise faithful personal super vision over their - wards until legally adopted or otherwise clearly beyond the need of further supervision; the forms and methods of such Investigation, records and supervision to be prescribed and enforced by the Board ef Charities. "I deem such legislation as Is herein recommended not only Important for the welfare ot the children Immediately con cerned, but Importsnt ss setting an exam pis of a high standard of child protection by the national government to the aeveral slstes of the union, which should be able to look to the nation for leadership Iti such matters.

Kennett't Assailant ENGLISH PLEADS FOR HIS DEATH t'eeatf Attorney t iters "cathlagf Ar- Slabaaaa Arajaee at Length Ia sanity ( Defeadaat. The Jury Is considering the destiny ot Van Wilson GooJell. It was given the case at 5:50 yesterday afternoon after listening to the instructions of Judge Sears and to one of the most scathing arraignments of a prisoner at bar ever uttered In the Douglas county court house. County Attorney Eng lish urged the desth penalty for Goodell, 3ylng: "Let It be not said that a Jury of men who love and revere their mothers, who love their sisters snd have their safety at heart, failed to administer the severest pen slty of the law." "It has been a grave ta.sk, this rase for the prosecuting attorney, It Is a graver one for the Jury since in my recollection thero has been no murder case In this county possessing the stroclty snd brutsllty that this one does, and I hold that thla man de serves desth and nothing else." Refers to Thaw aad Halas Cases. Speaking of the defense put up English referred to the Thaw and Halns cases and the "unwritten law," and pointed eut the difference between a husband's svenglng his honor and the shooting down of a girl in cold blood. With regard te Judge 81a baugh'a frequent references to - Goodell's love for the girl the county attorney grew grimly sarcastic. "Counsel does not need to argue the attributes or characteristics of love. Ws know what It means. We shall not bs fooled by any sickly simulation. Does he take us for a lot ot mawkish school boys?. A strange love Is ths defend ant's, as the result of which this girl has been in her grave six months. This man may sit In front of this jury and shed tears, but a whole ocran of tears will not wash from his hands the stain of Edna Kennett's blood. "When it came to the attack upon Edna Kennett his purpose was definite; his hand steady. Did he kill himself? Why In God's name is he not dead! A scratch on the forehead! He held the revolver close enough to her to make sure. Powder burns! There were no powder burns on him." Goodell's narrative on the stand of his engagement to the girl when she told him, he said, that she had given birth to a child this was characterised as the work of "a ghoul, who not content with taking ths girl's life, dragged forth her body from the grave and paraded It In the market place." Calls It Blarkealna Character. "Was it necessary for him also to blacken her character after he had killed her?" In closing English again urged the noose aa the fit punishment for Goodell. The county attorney began speaking at 3:46 snd concluded at 5:40-o'clock. Before him Attorney W. W. Slabaugh had used all the time of the defense,, and his asso ciate, Charles Foster, did not spesk. The insanity of the prisoner was argued at length by the senior counsel for ths de fendant, and to this question the county attorney also devoted considerable time. The courtroom was jammed throughout the addresses, which began with that by Assistant County Attorney Louis Piatti in the morning. Attorneys for the defense receleved a let ter, after they had closed their ease from a man In . Tripp county, S. D., saying that one, a former employe of the Loyal hotel who knew Edna Kennett, should be sent for and that he knew a great deal about the rase. The letter concluded with the some what large promise that this witness could clear Goodell. In the event of conviction this newly" discovered testimony will be pleaded as cause for a new trial. Five Possibilities. - There ars five rnstiibilllles with regard to the Jury's action, as follows: A verdict of guilty with the desth penalty recommended.
