ROOSEVELT'S ARSENAL.
Arms and Ammunition Piled Up for
the Jungle War.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Were anyone
else except the president of the United
States piling up such masses of wal
material at this time, there might be
room for the suspicion that another
Central American outbreak was brew
ing.
Thousands of cartridges and stands
of arms and hunting knives are being
stocked up in anticipation of the jun
gle war. 1t is now possible to sum-
Marie with fair accuracy the equip
ment for this sally into the dark con-
tinent.
The hunting knife, for instance is a
trusty blade measuring, from tip to
guard, seven inches. When Roosevelt
shoots with small irons instead of large,
1t viii be the voice of the revered arbi-
ter of our own border land-the Colt S
45-that speaks.
Mr.. Roosevelt will take into Africa
four American made rifles two Ameri-
can made shotguns. a brace of long
barreled Colts sixshooters and a cOu-
pie of American hunting knives. Sew
eral thousand rounds of cartridges,
weighing some hundreds of pounds, will
complete the arsenal.
The most destructive gun to be car
ried by the president has been made
TO his order at Sprin gfeld, Mass, a
Winchester repeating rifle model of
1895, -405 caliber, weighing eight and
one-half pounds. This rife has a
forty-four inch round barrel and car
ries four cartridges in the magazine,
plus one in the breach. 1t shoots
300-grain steel jacket bullet or slug,
more properly speaking, whose We
1ocity in discharge is 2,150 feet a sec,
ond and which penetrates forty eight
seven -eighth-inch pine boards. This
repeating capacity of the rifle is two
or three shots a second, from the
shoulder with aim, or twenty-five
cidentally, nothing except smokeless
powder goes on this trip.
The second rifle ordered by the
president is known as the No. 80 gov
eminent rimless cartridge type, using
a 220-grain bullet. 1t is said to be
of much higher power than the 1895
model and of lower range, being
adapted to the slaughter of very big
game at 500 to 1000 yards.
An extra light rifle, of the 1886 model.
using a 1910 government cartridge and
peculiarly effective at from fifty to sew
enty-five yards, is the description of
the third gun ordered by Mr.. Roosevelt.
The caliber is the favOrite .405 and the
gun is similar to that which the presi-
dent used in his days of western hunt
ing. The fourth rifle turned out to the
presidents order is a model 1894 caliber
400 effective up to 800 yards, specially
designed for the killing of moderate
sized game A 170-grain bullet is used.
Mr.. Roosevelt did a lot of shooting
with a rifle of this sort in his Colorado
hunts.
All the ammunition to be taken into
Africa by the president has been made
especially for him at New Haven,
Conn, where his guns have been tested
by experts. A plentiful supply of pre-
servatives for the curing of skins and
hides will be an important item of the
Roosevelt equipment. Edmund Heller,
the youthful assistant curator of the
museum of vertebrate zoology of the
University of California, will have
charge of the itinerant bureau of pelts.
and will be responsible for its arrival in
Washington intact.

ROOSEVELT STOCKINGS.
To Be Hung for the Last Time at the
White House.

Washington. Dec. 22.-The Roosevelt
stockings this year for the seventh and
last time will be hung before the big fire
place in the White House for a generous
Santa Claus to fill.
No doubt some of the things which find
their way into those stockings will later
find their way into the lonesome wilds of
Africa-perhaps handy bowie knife for
the president and a jungle proof photo

CHANGE TAX LAW.
Building and Loan Association Act
T. b. Brown Is President.

called meeting of the Kansas
League of Local Building and Loan as
sociations met at the new National ho-
tel in this city Monday afternoon at
four o'clock About 35 members were
present, and their principal business
was to suggest and formulate needed
new legislation and amendments to the
present building and loan law. Assess
ment and taxation was the principal
topic, particularly as far as it touches
the associations. The present statute
on this subject was enacted in 1876
loan association was practically I'M
known in Kansas, and the misfit of
that statute was specially brought to
their notice when the state tax COM
mission entered upon their work of
readjusting valuations and assess
ments. However. the ruling of the COM
mission last spring was generally con-
sidered fair and reasonable, and the
league was not inclined to ask for i'm
munity from taxation, but decided to
prepare an amendment to the law that
would more clearly differentiate build
ing and loan associations from general
corporations and specifically say how
they shall be assessed and taxed The
league also decided to ask that build
ing and loan associations be given the
same protection against demands of
assessors for lists of depositors, the
same as banks are protected now.
A number of other amendments were
suggested, and the executive committee
directed to formulate them into one or
more bills.
The Kansas Bankers association,
through it's secretary, Mr.. w. w. Bow
man, presented an invitation for the
league to affiliate with that association
and in short interesting address Mr..
Bowman explained the benefits likely to
accrue from such afdliation. The
league was inclined to favor the propo-
sition and asked time to consider it.
At $50 o'clock the delegates were en-
tertained at dinner in the hotel by the
directors of the Topeka local associa-
tions. and at o'clock resumed its
work. and closed later with the cleo
ton of officers as follows: T. B. Brown.
Topeka, president; c. S. Hartough,
Leavenworth, vice president; c. S.
Elliott, Topeka, secretary; George
Sturnpf. Kansas City. treasurer. The
executive committee, consisting of five
members. will be announced by the
president later.
Captain VIM S. Albright, bank COM
missioner, was present by invitation;
and the subject of examinations ana
reports was briefly discussed with him:
1.-THE changes asked in legislation,
said c. ). Elliott, secretary, are TO
give people confidence in the assocla-
tions The building and loan business
is safe and sane business and such
laws as will tend to increase the con-
fdence of the people viii make the IN
stitutions bigger and better.
The meeting adjourned to meet again
at the call of the president

SAFE AND SANE SHOPPERS.
Christmas Buyers in Chicago Making

Chicago, Dec. 22.-'It is beautiful.
simply beautiful-the Christmas crowd
and the way it is behaving declared
one of the veterans in the art of hand
ling holiday crowds at the big stores.
I'VE had nothing like it before-ever.
Beginning December it began to mass
itself in this store, and it has gradually
grown in volume like a wave of the
sea.
Every increase of one person, fur
thermore" he continued, has. meant
the sale of at least one dollars worth
of goods. In other words, the crowds
this year are buying crowds. And bet
ter than that, they are buying so even
~ and sanely that they are easier to
manage than any 1 can remember.
THE bulk of business will prove
greater than in the spasmodic extrava-
gance of last year. 1 expect something
like an increase of from to 10 per

The police would not stand for the Paris
