That He is Being lnterfered With

Annoyance | Will Stop it."

Denver, Jan. 9.-Vice President
the county toward Colorado. and prep.
arations for the big hunt have been
completed so that everything will be
in readiness for him when he arr: yes
He left Chicago at 10 o'clock last night
over the Rock Island and will arrive
in Colorado Springs tomorrow morn
ing at 7:35.
He will be me- at the depot by Philip
p. Stewart and Dr.. Gerald C. Webb,
who will be his companions on the
hunt. and at whose invitation it was ar.
ranged. Mr.. Stewart is an old-time
hunter in the western part of Colorado,
and it was through him that Guide
John Golf was secured. Governor
Roosevelt has requested hat no demon
stration be made on his arrival in Colo
RADIO Springs tomorrow. and an effort
will be made to carry out his wishes.
A section on the Colorado Midland
train which leaves the Springs tomor-
row morning at II o'clock has been re-
served for him and he will go di'c"t
to Rifle, where he will take the stlgr
coach for Meeker and from there he
starts on his hunt.
Colonel Roosevelt was quoted in Chi
cago yesterday as saying that he had
been warned by the governor of Colo.
RADIO hat during his hunt in this state
he would be followed by game wardens
who would watch him to see that he
killed no deer OF other protected game.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had no intention
to violate the game laws. He will hunt
lions.
The gentleman who up to yesterday
noon was governor of Colorado was at
the state house this morning. He sat
at one of the desks in the room of the
executive clerks writing and looking
over his mail, while another mar oc.
cupied the inner chamber. where for
two years he had received callers and
transacted business. Regarding the
interview attributed to Colonel Roose.
welt, Ex-Governor Thomas said:
Certainly. | have never sen any
such word to Colonel Roosevelt, and |
regret that such a report has been pub
lished. | have had no communication
whatever with Colonel Roosevelt on
the subject of his trip to this state, and,
in fact, have no Information regarding
his plans, except the brief references
I have seen in the newspapers. Had
the ex-governor of New York come
to Colorado on his hunt while | was
governor, l should have been pleased
to extend him every courtesy and see
that he was annoyed by no over Off
cious game wardens-if, indeed, there
should be a possibility of such annoy
ance. | am sure that Governor Orman
will do the same"
No Annoyance.
Governor Orman said: 81 have
heard of no such intention. 1t would
be unjust and discourteous to assume
that a a of Colonel Roosevelt's char
acter and high standing would ever
consider the violation of any law of our
state"
will you permit the next vice pres
ident of the United States to be logged
by game wardens during his hunting
trip"
Most emphatically, | will not" re-
piled the governor. Il am glad that the
matter has been called to my atten-
ton, if there is any danger that Colonel
Roosevelt may be disturbed while in
our state. If | learn hat he is inter-
fered with in his recreation or in n
way subjected to annoyance, | will see
that it is stopped at once. We are glad
to welcome him to Colorado and trust
that he may be allowed to en-
joy himself in his own way and that
his rights of privacy may be respected
by all our citizens and that no game
officers will make themselves obnox-
ious to our distinguished visitor
