ROOSEVELT DESCRIBED

Colorado Humane Society Writer Calls
Presidents Hunting Trips
Pernicious.

Denver. Col, Dec. 11-Secretary E.
w. Whitehead of the state bureau of
child aud animal protection, in an arti
Gle printed by the Colorado Humane
society, says: President Roosevelt as
q sportsman is furnishing to the Amer
can nation an example of ruthlessness
and blood lust as far reaching as it is
perniCious.
mo one more deeply and sincerely
appreciates the merit and good quail
| ties of our president than we do, but
these vacation trips of his are not
worthy of president nor of the true
American man. Many of his truest
admirers regret his heralded hunting
"trip to Africa If reports are true, he
looks forward eagerly. eXultantly, i'm,
patiently to the excursion to the other
side of the world, whose prime object
is to slay.'

NEN RULES MEN RAMPANT
House insurgents Plan to Take Power
from Cannon.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE revolt of
republicans in the house of represen-
tatives who want change in the rules
governing the conduct of that body
has at last taken definite form and
substance. An organization has been
perfected, a definite plan of procedure
mapped out, and the whole subject
will be considered at a conference to
be held tonight. The insurgents will
insist upon changes in the rules as
follows:
First-That the power of appointing
committees be taken out of the hands
of the speaker and vested in a commit
tee selected by the house.
Second-That two days a week bt
set aside for the consideration of sucf
measures as members may desire tC
take up from the calendars.
Third-That the committee on rules
the all-powerful organization in th'
house, be increased from 5 to 10 mem
bers.
II is to be a merry war between th'
insurgents and Speaker Cannon from
now until the organization of th
house in the new congress.

DUTCH SHIPS
GO OUT READY
FOR TROUBLE

Willemstad, Dec. 1.-THE govern
ment of the Netherlands has no inten-
tion of being negligent in the matter
of the blockade of the Venezuelan
coast, inaugurated by three of its war
ships last week. A Dutch battleship
and cruiser left here this morning for
Venezuelan waters, cleared for action.
1t is believed they will demonstrate off
Laguaria, and will probably begin
seizing Venezuelan merchant vessels,
thus putting stop to trade between
Venezuelan ports. A clash between
warships and the coastal forts of Ven
ezuela is liable to follow any radical
action.
