British Hunters EnUious
OfLicense to Roosevelt
Give Us an Equal Show They Say, With Privilege of
Killing Game Without Limit, and Well
Beat the President

Major Powell Cotton is telling all Lon
don that after bringing a magnificent
collection of skins to the coast-thIs
happened before the two-skin rule was
put into effect-he was delayed by the
colonial officials until many of the nm
est pelts grew moldy and suffered ir-
reparable damage.
He doesn't specifically accuse the gov
ernor of Uganda of causing his trou-
bles, but remarks that the latter, Sir
Harry Johnson, was an exceedingly am
bilious sportsman with skins of his own
to show.
An explorer well known to Mombasa
officials, soon afterward offered what
was recognized as a perfectly good
check in payment of coast duties. but
was told the money must be paid in
silver, which IT took six native bearers
so long to bring from a town MANY
miles distant that lie lost his steamer
President Roosevelt won't encounter
a single one of these difficulties and the
hunters who have precef.ed him say he
won't have any particr lar reason for
Growing over them even II he does make
a big killing,
The Washington times., 1908-11-29

LONDON, Nov. 28.-Envious British
sportsmen are openly declaring that 1t
will be of no particular credit to Pres
ident Roosevelt should he get a record
breaking bag Of big game in British
East Africa.
Any number Of famous hunters de-
clare they would be glad TO enter into
competition with the American Chief
Executive if they could do il on even
terms.
But for several years the interpre-
tation put on the colonial game laws
has been so stringent that Englishmen
are not permitted to shoot more than
''two head" of big game on a single
trip.
But with the "Iid'' off, Roosevelt can
kin as much as he likes, wherever he
likes, and take his prizes out of the
country without paying any duty.
This has incensed British sportsmen.
They declare that the various East At
rican governors have deliberately used
their official position to hamper them

with advice.

TAFT'S REWARD TOLD
BY BAHAIST TEACHER
President-Elect Going to Heaven When He Dies-John
D. and Carnegie Have Running Chance, Says
Countess Aurelia Bethlen

CHICAGO. Nov. 2S-William II. Taft
is going to heaven when he dies, and
there is hope that Ohm D. Rockefeller
and Andrew Carnegie viii go. too.
This is the statement made today by
Countess AureIia Bethlen, the Bahaist
teacher. who three weeks ago an
nounced her arrival in Chicago on her
missionary journey around the world
She does not speak of a definite heaven,
however. for her belief is that heaven
is condition, not a place.
She says that Mr.. TAFT viii merit a
divine reward after the tribulations that
he will meet during his tenure Of Of
fee, and that if Messrs. Carnegie and
Rockefeller can avoid dying until 1917,
when the millennium will begin, they
may be saved.
A great change is coming over the
world. according to the countess. The

paying more attention to religion, even
if they do not go to church as regular
ly. This is the beginning OF the change.
But before the nine years are over and
the year 1917 appears, the world VIII
suffer dire calamities which must be
undergone by all people as penitence.
But the people viii not know this and
they will blame their governments for
their misfortunes. Because America. is
so money mad, Americans will suffer
the greatest Of trials and Mr.. Taft win
get the greatest blame. Therefore. his
trials will have been the mort woeful.
he will be sure of happiness after
death, says the viBitor.
Countess Retnlen declares Carnegie is
misguided in buying Libraries instead of
food for the poor. Mr.. Rockefeller. she
says, can only save himself by Grasp

The Polish College IS established on
the broadest lines. The advantages are
equally for boys who desire a cole

enter holy orders. It is proposed to
found scholarships in every prosperous
Polish parish and to assist poor but
worthy boys to obtain the highest in
teIIectual training at a minimum cost.
Father Lechert will purchase an addi
tiohal tract for lay students as soon as
his funds permit, but for the next
