ROOSEVELT To
SHORTEN HUNT
will Cut Off One Week From
predrrdnged pIdns---BusineSs
Matters Make It Necessary
to Stdri Home Nay 3
HAS HAD WONDERFULLY GOOD LUCK

Notwithstanding the hope that
President Roosevelts former plans
might be carried ont which would
bring him to Glenwood on May II it
has been found necessary to change
the previous schedule and Secretary
Loeb has therefore arranged for the
departure of the presidential train
from Glenwood on Monday morning,
| May 8, over the d. Il r. q. This
will permit the president to view the
Glenwood Grand Canon and Royal
gorge both by daylight. Arrange
ments have been made with Agent
Gamble by which the official train
will leave GlenwCod about daylight
one week from Monday morning, ar
riving the same evening in Denver
where banquet will be rendered the
president by the Denver board of
trade.
The announcement of the change of
the plans which was made by Mr.
Loeb Thursday, carries with it the
decision not to make any stops except
at Denver and Chicago.
There is much speculation here as
to the president reasons for advanc
ing the time of his departure from
Colorado. Secretary Loeb announces
that there is no pressing business that
requires his presence, but there are II
number of things coming up about the
middle of the month, in which he is
greatly interested. What these are
the secretary would not say. 1t is
said also that there is nothing in the
Venezuelan or San DOMINICAN situa-
tion that cannot be attended to by
Secretary Taft. 1t is believed, however,
| tfat the reports involving Assistant
Secretary Loomis in scandal con
ceIning the Venezuelan affair may
have something to do with the change
in the schedule nut this is not admit
ted by Secretary Loeb.
Hunters who are with the president
believe he has had enough game to
satisfy him, and will have more than
enough when camp is broken on May
| I. rhey are sure of getting more
bears and any number of bobcats,
where they are and after this week,
they expect to move into another good
hunting country, about sixteen miles
from Glenwood Springs.
The president has taken "A keen de.
| light in his outing and has been 80
successful that he will not be greatly
disappointed in having to shorten it.
He will have Secretary Loeb with
him few days next week, and per
haps fol day in the present camp
before the West Divide creek country
is left behind,
The guides have taken great fan
cv to the secretary and have promised
him bear if he will come out and
stay few days The first time he
rode to the camp he was given a horse
with bobbed tail and the guide told
him confdentially after they had GOV
cred several miles at rapid clip that
the horse was the one they always
gave to dudes. and he added admir-
ingly: But no dude could ride like
| that.
OF the six bears killed by the hunt
ers, thus far, the president has
brought down three and Doctor Lam
bert the other three Four bears have
been killed by temporary attaches
of the party and nearby ranchmen.
All the hides were brought here and
will be mounted as rugs.
Washington, April 81. Secretary
Tart, when made aware of the presi-
dent $ plan to leave Colorado May &,
showed no surprise, for it was known
to him before the president left
Washington that he was very doubt
full of his ability to carry out his
wish to remain in the hunting coun-
try until the middle of May. the
president told Secretary Taft that he
feared he could not remain longer
than May s, and that he consequently
had formed an alternative program
based on that belief.
There is no pressing emergency here
requiring the immediate presence of
the president. All of the facts rela-
tive to the Venezuelan situation have
been disclosed to the public, and in
the opinion of the officials here, they
do not Justify any apprehension of a
rupture in the immediate future.
