Glenwood Springs, Col, April 25,-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's hunting trip has been
crowned with success far beyond his
pectations or those of the most sanguine
of his guides. Three bears were killed
by the party today and two yesterday,
one by the President and one by DR..
Lambert. p. B. Stewart of Colorado
Springs. one of the Presidents hunting
companions, arrived here tonight, accom-
panied by Courier Chapman. They
brought the story of the hunt. The kill
ing the three bears was telephoned to
them and they understood that President
Roosevelt brought down two of them,
but the details are lacking. The party is
almost snow-bound in it's present loea-
tion and no attempt will be made to
cross the divide. Fifteen feet of snow is
on the ground on the other side, and any
effort to reach Redstone would be futile.
The hunters are satisfied. however, for
they have reached the center OF what
the guides say is the best bear country
in Colorado.
Bob cats are thick in the country now
being hunted, so plentiful. in fact, that

STOCK EXCHANGE
FOR JERSEY CITY
UNDERSTOOD ITS OBJECT is TO
AVOID ADDITIONAL COST IN
STOCK TRANSACTIONS I'M
POSED BY NEW YORK LAW.

New York. April 25-The certificate of
Incorporation of the New Jersey Stock
exchange was filed in New Jersey today.
The object of the corporation as stated
in the papers is to maintain an exchange
and to furnish facilities for its mem
bers in the purchase and sale of securi-
ties. The exchange is capitalized in the
sum of $25O,O0O, there being 5000 shares at
$500 each. When the news that there is
to be a New Jersey stock exchange reach
ed Wall street, it was assumed that the
new enterprise is undertaken for the pur-
pose of avoiding the additional cost that
would be imposed on stock transactions
when the new transfer tax law goes into
effect on June /. in this state.
Although details as to the fun scope of
the undertaking were not available today,
ii was learned that the new stock ex-
change is to be in Jersey CITY, that re-
sponsible men are behind the movement,
and that the stock of the exchange had all
been subscribed for in money. The GER
tifcates of incorporation of the New Jer-
sey Stock exchange was filed by James
B. DILL lawyer well known in Jersey
corporation circles. Mr.. Dill declined to
disclose the identity of the interest back
of the project. which is similar to that
outlined by the Consolidated Stock ex-
change of this city some time ago. 1t is
understood however, that several impor-
tant financial interests are represented
IN the proposed exchange. The incorpora-
tion papers provide that the proposed ex-
change may have branch offices in New
York and other cities.

FIVE BEARS ARE KILLED
BY PRESIDENTS PARTY

day was of the brown variety, not SO
heavy, but furnishing a much finer pelt
than the first animal killed. One of the
bears killed today is said to be a grizzly
but this cannot be verified.
Mr.. Stewart reached the Hotel Colorado
at 955 tonight. He was still dressed in
his hunting clothes He looked brown
and rugged, and reported that every man
in the party is In the best of health.
Secretary Loeb will go to the camp to-

President. He will make the trip on
horseback from New Castle.
President Roosevelt is living In a cabin

that the party will stay here for the en-
tire hunt Mr. Stewart will remain here

here to be mounted.
News of the outside world is scarce In
the Presidents camp. Once in every

by the President said Mr.. Stewart to-
night. ''but then he went into the wilds
to hunt, and he has to make the best
of it,"

MAN CHARGED WITH
RUNNING LOTTERY
Chicago Officials Make Raid In Down
town District, and Benzoin Is
Placed Under Bond.

Chicago, April 25.-Federal officials this
afternoon arrested Joseph Benzoin at his
office in a downtown business block on a
charge of operating a lottery system. The
prisoner denies the charge and declares
that he knows anything about any lottery
system.
He was arraigned before United Staees
Commissioner Foote late in the afternoon
and held in bonds of $500 TO await the
action of the grand jury. Some time ago
complaints were made TO the authorities
at Washington that several new lotteries
were being operated from the city Of
Mexico. In connection with the report
raids have been made during the last
week at Peoria. New Orleans and San
Francisco. 1t is charged that Benzoin
was one of the factors in the promotion
of the lotteries in Mexico, and that he
handled from this city large quantities
of literature relative to the scheme.

miralty circles are coming to accept the
view that there will be no great or gem

- N stragetic and tactical reasons
which incline dmiral Togo to avoid a
decisive action until he has made every
effort to demoralize the Russian fleet by
torpedo boat attacks and interference with
transports with cruiser divisions.
The admiralty last evening secuted the
reports that engagements have already
occurred, pointing out the great distance
separating the places where the dispatches
originated, and naval staff declared
that reports from English sources should
not only be doubted but even mistrusted.
The probability of a sortie by the Vladi-
vostock squadron in any attempt to join
Admiral Rojestvenslxy is discussed by the
Razvedchik, a military weekly paper,
which confirms the report that three
cruisers, Gromoboi, Rossia and Bogatyr

The officials apparently are certain that
Admiral Nebogatoff has not yet entered

HE WILL GO BEFORE THE

Atlanta, April Especial local
sporting circles are in stew over re-
port made to Chairman Orion Nunnally
of the police commission giving away the
fact that "hand-books" are being made

Chairman Nunnally and says he is ready

of the bookmakers. The boolmakers
charge that the race had already been
run when the bets were made and that

Rolla Il, the son of one of the
men kine the prohibition mass meet

arrest on a charge of firing the shot which
killed Representative John NJ Pinckney.
He stated that his father was under the
influence of intoxicants when he attended
the meeting and that he 0he SOM at
tempted to dissuade him from attending.
His father was firm, however in his
intention and went to the meeting. The
son followed and took part in the shoor-

Brown Started the Trouble.
1t has been established that the trouble
began when Captain Brown attempted to
secure recognition to speak at the meet
ing. 1t is said that his language was Of
fensive to several ladies' and the fulisade
began Immediately afterwards. Congress-
man Pinckney was shot four times and
was almost instantly killed. Thomas
Pinckney, brother of the congressman,
was shot twice in the back and Captain
Brown received a bullet through the
heart. John e. Miles, the remaining VIC
tim, took no part in the affair and was
instantly killed by a stray bullet.
The killings are the direct result of a
prohibition movement in Waller county,
which was begun some years ago. and
the feeling has been intense. An cleo
tion was held in Waller county April 20.
and the prohibitionists were successful.
The prohibition league was called together
last night to wind up its affairs and dis
band. A resolution requesting the Gov
ernor of Texas to send troops to Waller
county for the purpose of enforcing the
law against sellers was excitedly debated.
Firing Soon Began.
1t was at this junction that Capt. II. M.
Brown sought TO have the chairman recog-
nize him and shortly afterwards the firing
began. Today it was learned that friends
and relatives of participants in the bloody
affray had been asked to come to Hemp
stead and it was feared that further
trouble would result. Tonight, however,
cooler counsel has prevailed and the lit
tie town is quiet. While no further trou-
BILE is anticipated a number of rangers
will remain here to preserve law and
order should the occasion arise.
