Especial Correspondent Of the
Daily Times with the Roosevelt
Expedition in Africa.)
NAIVASHA. Aug. 10.-After
four months in British East At
RIGA, Col. Roosevelt has accom-
plished practically all that he
hoped to do in a year, with the ex-
ception of getting elephants and
white rhinos. He is hunting ele-
plants now. The rhinos he can
not get until he goes UP into the
Nile region a month from now.
They do not exist anywhere else.
Col. Roosevelt's success has
made him ambitious. Now he
hopes also to bag a koodoo, rarest
of deers-and perhaps even the
bongo, which no white man has
ever seen.
Roosevelt is given much credit
in Africa. Apart from what /
myself have seen of his initiative,
his resourcefuiuess and his en-
durance, l have talked with a
number of experienced and we'll

who have been out with him and
seen him under fire. Men like c.
]. Cunningame, F. G. Selous, w.
N. Mcmillan, Sir Alfred Pease, H.
A. Williams and Leslie Tarlton
all testify that Col. Roosevelt's
success has been due to his wis
dom in needing the advice of old
hands, added to his own energy,
courage and perseverance.
Col. Roosevelt has had one
guide who will accompany him to
the end of the trip - G. ]. Cum
inghame, who is considered the
best in East Africa. Other guides
have taken short trips with the
expedition. For the Sotik and
Kenia trips Leslie Tarlton went
also. His task with Cuninghame
is to submit plans to Col. Roose-
7elt based on their knowledge of
the country.

Both the colonel and Kermit not
only have kept IN splendid condi-
ton, but the colonel has worked
off good deal of the stoutness
which came from his seven years
of physical inactivity as president,
while Kermit has developed into
such a hardy sportsman and walk
er that there is not a native of the
habitations, and partly to the dan
expedition who can keep up with
him when 1t comes to a days

a hardness which rejoices his
friends.
From newspaper accounts which
preceded him, they had been pre-
pared to meet a stern statesman
with very arbitrary opinions and
little pity on those who happened
to disagree.
Instead of which they found a
man seeking information about
the country's economical and in
dustrial condition, as well as about
hunting. They found him ready
to listen to anyone who could
speak with authority about any
thing.
The addresses he has made from
time to time have shown a
wonderful grasp upon East African
conditions. He has given to the
residents really valuable advice,
and has earned East African re-
spect. His quickly earned popu-

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 27.-Al-

the fact that the federal court Of

today among lawyers and judges
of the state who are watching the

Fannie were kidnapped about two
weeks ago by a man who caused
the children to go with him by
protesting to be Teresa's god
father.
When the children failed to re-
turn to their homes an all-night
search was instituted for them.
The following morning the
dead body of Teresa was found
lying under a culvert in an iso-
lated section of the city, with
Freddie close by dying from a
revolver wound. Fannie had been
shot through the arm, but later
recovered sufficiently to give the
details of the shooting.

Iabout his cordial frankness in or
binary conversation, his live of a
joke and his thorough enjoyment
of everything he sees.
Roosevelt's present trip to Mt.
Kenia is to be devoted to getting
an elephant if possible, and will
last until October. Elephants are
particularly difficult to get on
Mt. Kenia and the strong prob
liabilities are that the party may
devote some two months to a hope
less task. Not only are elephants
scarce there, but they are timid
and almost impossible to approach.
The colonel has equipped him
self with rubber-soled boots and
solft clothes, against which leaves
and twigs will make no noise, but
even them the chances are against
him. However, he has thought it
worth while to devote two months
to this expedition because the eli
mate will allow the preservation of
the entire skin.
The grevy zebra, the greater
koodoo and the lesser koodoo, the
roam antelope, and rarest of all the
bongo, which TO white man has
ever yet shot-these, too, the col
onel is hoping to find.
Early in October he will return
to Naivasha for o stay of several
weeks. Although w. N. Mcmillan
has returned to Europe, Roosevelt
will occupy his house in Nairobi
and rest from hunting by seeing
the friends he has made in East
Africa's capital.
In October Roosevelt will start
out for the Guashanero, lying up
towards Uganda. During August,
September and October he will
have the opportunity to do so lit

is to be expected. In November,
however, he expects to reach
Uganda.
He has left himself absolute
freedom in regard to this program.

northernmost town of British East
