ROOSEVELT WILL FOOT eLLS
statement from Smithsonian Insti-
tute as TO Expenses of African
Expedition.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7-President Roose-
welt will get nothing from the govern
ment." but will give much OF value to
the government" on his African trip, says
a statement given out by the Smithsonian
institution today The statement follows:
President Roosevelt decided last spring
upon the proposed hunting trip to Africa,
and during the summer Secretary Wal
colt learned that the president was will
ing to have one or two naturalists ac-
company him from the Smithsonian insti-
tuition, provided their expenses could be
met; and also that the collection made by
the president and the naturalists were to
come to the Smithsonian institution and
be deposited in the United States national
museum.
Mr.. Roosevelt will pay all the expenses
of himself and his son, Kermit, in con-
nectton with the proposed trip, including
outfitting and transportation.
THE expenses of the three naturallsts
sent out from the Smithsonian institution
will be paid by funds provided for tie pur-
pose no part of which is derived from any
government appropriation or from the in
come of the Smithsonian fund.
''Mr. Roosevelt will not receive one penny
OF the fund for his own or his sons use
or expenses; on the contrary. he makes
a gift to the government of specimens
worth many thousands of dollars, and pos
sibly of value that can hardly be ex-
pressed. He will get nothing from the
government; he will give much of value to
the government; the governments share
will be limited TO receiving the gift"
