Hunt for Wildcats Frultless--Roose-
welt and Party Early In the
Saddle, Searching for
Game
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
STAMBoUL, La, Oct. 12.--The presi-
dent will not go to Tensas as an
nounced yesterday. A courier arrived
from Bear Lake camp at o'clock to-
night, saying that such excellent bear
signs had been discovered there as to
persuade him that it would be unwise
to change and he decided not to do SO.
Later this afternoon a halt was
called in the preparations for the trans
fer of the presidents hunting camp
from East Corral to Tensas. and when
darkness fell there was uncertainty as
/ to whether the move would be made
tomorrow in accordance with the an
nouncement.
| The hunt was confined today to the
Bear lake neighborhood, and residents
assert that the probability of securing
big game in the lake quarters is much
better than 1t was at the old grounds.
A negro just in from the lake says
fresh bear signs are plentiful and he
said the president would find such en-
tertainment there as would make him
hesitate to leave.
Provisions will be made Immediately
for the Improvement of the presidents s
accommodations, which are now quite
meager. At the old club house on the
lake are several mattresses in usable
condition, and each of the members Of
the party, including the president, at
tached roll of blankets to his saddle
when they left camp yesterday morning
With this combination they were COM
Portable last night. However, the tenn
perature was higher than it is tonight
and they may not fare so well if the
thermometer should fall
Shields is acting commissary and has
already sent two wagon loads of pro-
visions to the new headquarters. A run
ner from the camp says that the presi-
dent and entire, party were on their
horses at dawn this morning Yester-
days hunt for wildcats was fruitless.

MEANWHILE. DIVORCES.

The annual council Of the Protest.
mt Episcopal diocese OF Western
New York shelyed discussion on a
proposed canon that mo Clergyman
shall solemnlze the marriage OF any
divorced person while tho other party
to the divorce is still living" but the
attitude of the church leaders is pref.
ty generally understood to be along
the lines OF such rule. The prob.
lem has been before the church so
long that 1t appears as If this years
council could have dealt with 1t as
next years council can.
Tho report of special committee
of the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, on the subject of marriage and
divorce follows closely the old policy
of the church not to participate in
public strife rs an organization, but
rather to induce It's members 10 take
tho right side as individual citizens.
The report says that 1.-THE church
cannot hope to influence those who
make and execute civil laws to give
protection to the family, to make tile
sundering of marriage ties and form
Ing of new alliances more difficult.
unless, by n ltrlct adherence to its
own teachings. the church holds those
who minister by its authority respon.
sible for the violation Of It's teach
ings."

be stronger, or Mt least more active.

themselves together for positive nc

HARTMAN THE MYSTERIOUS.

The commanding position which
Edward II. Hartman has gained as
n railway mngnate and financier has
attracted wide attention ana one Of
the Lest studies of this famous man
appears In the current number of

that this now much-tnlked.of genius
In railroad operations was known
merely ms n successful broker in New
York. And today, outside of finan.
cial circles, there nre many people
asking: "Who is he?n and "FIow III
1t he has become SO strong in rail-
way management"
Whom does Mr.. Hartman repre-.
sent?a Is another question that is
frequently hehrd. To this tho AN.
;swer probably muatb be what Mr.. Har-
Grlman years ago told j.. p, Morgan,
who asked similar question when
& he had to deal with him In Erie
stock, namely. Myself" In other
words, Mr.. Hartman during his en-
reer seems to have been first, last and
all the time making financial deals for
himself, although others might bene.
fit, incidentally.
AS the head of over $4,000 miles of
Tailroad Mr.. Hartman has on his pay
rolls more than twice as many men
as there are in the standing army of
the United States. In the political
world, he is credited with having been
I the power behind a governor of New
York, and with being at present abso.
lntely in command of the Republican
party In California. In finance he hes
figured within year Or so as one OF
the alleged iugglers of insurance

railroads and express companies, and
