He can-Hunting License Free. :
BY special courtesy OF the authori-
ties in British East Africa Theodore
Roosevelt will be privileged to shoot
at any beast, bird or reptile that gets
In range OF his gum, whether or not it
is preserved against ordinary hunters.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be privileged also
to shoot at as many of each particular
species Of beast, bird or reptile as he
pleases, whether Or not the game law
forbids lesser Nimrods to kill more
than a certain number. As further
courtesy the British authorities viii
present a hunting license, which ordi-s
narily costs $3.50, to Mr.. Roosevelt and
will not ask tuppence for 1t.
So William Northrup Mcmillan Of st.
Louis recently told the New York
Worlds London correspondent. Mr..
Mcmillan, nephew Of former United
States Senator Mcmillan Of Michigan,
probably has killed more big game in
South Africa than any other Ameri-
can. He will entertain Mr.. Roosevelt
for few weeks on his farm near Mai
robi, British East Africa, in a country
that is the big game hunters para
disc. Mr.. Mcmillan has been CORE
spending regularly with Mr. Roosevelt
since the president decided to go hunt
ing in Africa, has been advising him
on some points and making some ar
rangements looking to Mr.. Roosevelt's
comfort and success. In giving some
interesting details Of the presidents
plans Mr.. Mcmillan said:
Il shall not accompany Mr.. Roose-
velt on his trip because he wants to
be entirely alone SO that he and his
son can do all the shooting. However,
arrangements have been made with
Richard Cunningham, q young Scotch
gentleman, who speaks several Afri-
can languages perfectly and Is thor
oughly up on big game shooting there,
to take charge Of the equipment OF the
expedition and to manage it. Besides
Mr.. Cunningham two experts from
Washington will go along to treat and
preserve the trophies OF the chase,
and, think, an expert in woodcraft
from California will be Of the party. 4
The working part Of the expedition
will consist most likely OF a couple Of
gun carriers, a cook, the personal sery-
AoE 0v3c
act as sentries and keep watchEof, the
porters, of whom. there will be fifty, all
natives, each carrying the regular load
OF sixty pounds. A few ponies may
be taken along for trekking.
''Mr Roosevelt will land in Nom.
basa. in British East Africa, the ter
minus Of the Uganda railway, on
April 90. Almost Immediately he will
take the railway and travel to Mucha-
kos Road station, 200 miles northwest
OF Mombasa. AT Muchakos Road sta
ton he will leave the railway and
travel twenty miles to pay fort
nights visit to Sir Alfred Pease, an
old friend. who has hunted with the
president In America. Colonel Sir
James Hayes Sadler, governor of Brit.
1sh East Africa, and Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Jackson, who is in charge Of the
department of hunting, will meet Mr..
Roosevelt at Sir Alfred Pease's farm.
From there Mr.. Roosevelt will move
up to my place, twenty-three miles
from Nafrobf, and will spend two or
three weeks with me before plunging
Into the wilds. He will go some $50
miles to the northwest into Uganda
and the country surrounding Lake
Victoria Nyanza. After this his route
Is uncertain. suggested one route:
others have suggested different ones.
Mr. Roosevelt wants to decide for
himself after he sees the country.
Altogether he will cover probably
more than thousand miles by cara
van. After he has hunted enough in
British East Africa, instead Of going
straight to Gondakova, the highest
point on the Nile reached by naviga-
ton, where the governor Of the Sudan
will have boat waiting for him. Mr..
Roosevelt most likely will make de.
tour into the Belgian Kongo in the
hope OF bagging white rhinoceros
The game in the districts Mr.. Roose-
velt will pass through includes the ele-
plant, lion, buffalo, hippopotamus, gi-
raHe, zebra. Gland and many other
kinds. Usually hunter must hold a
$3.50 license and make seport of his
kill to the department. of hunting. but
special courtesy will be extended to
Mr.. Roosevelt. allowing him to shoot
whatever he likes Free
Mr.. Mcmillan calls South Africa his
home, but he passes a few months of
each year in his London house, which
is literally filed with trophies of the
chase. He will visit India and return
to his farm near Nairobi before Mr..
Roosevelt lands in Africa.
