PREPARING
TO WELCOME
HUNTER
MOMBASA is PREPARING BIG RE-
cEPTIoN TO FORMER PRES
IDENT ROOSEVELT.

Mombasa, British East Africa
March 1O.-Mombassa is preparing al
ready to welcome Theodore Roosevelt
when he lands here the latter part of
next month on his much -heralded Af-
rican trip. His coming has given a
decided impetus to the interest in the
hunting season. The governor of the
protectorate, Lieutenant Colonel Sir
James Hayes Sadler, is getting up a
program of welcome and entertain
ment for Mr.. Roosevelt; but despite
this, the greeting will be more to the
great sportsman than to the former
president
East African sportsmen We're highly
gratified to learn that Mr.. Roosevelt
had refused the offer of the authori-
ties to grant him a special hunting
license that would have permitted him
to kill game to an unlimited extent,
instead of confining himself to the
two elephants, two rhinoceroses, two
hippopotami. etc. of the regular license
Lions and leopards are classed as YER
min, and consequently no license to
kill them is required
much of Mr. Roosevelt's personality,
and in a joking way frequent refer
ences to the big stick" are being
made.
The rains are late this year and a
heavy fall is expected. The regular
time for the rain is from the end of
January to the end of April. The pros
poets for good hunting are considered
excellent. Many of the settlements in
the outlying districts, realizing the in
terest in the prospects of sport be-
cause of the coming of Roosevelt, are
the movements of game. According
to dispatch received here today,
record group of lions, numbering 32,
was seen on the Nagi plateau yester-
day. about 40 miles north of Port Flor
ence.
Four families of giraffes have been
seen at Mankindu, so miles inland from
here, on the line of the Uganda rail-
road, and elephants have been seen
at Elburgen, ATS miles inland from the
railroad and along the Sabinkka river,
not far to the north Of Mombasa.
r. j. Cunningham, the noted English
big game hunter, who is to be guide
to the Roosevelt party, has been here
for some time completing preparations
for the trip into the wilderness He
is hiring native porters for the expe-
dition, and takes only experienced men
who are known to be courageous and
to possess great physical strength.
"safari" kit, in other words. the camp
equipment for the work in the open,
is arriving from London, and all will
be in readiness when Mr. Roosevelt
gets here.
The railroad car used over the line
as far as Port Florence by other dis
visitors to Uganda, such as
the Duke Of Mecklenburg, the Duke
of Connaught, the Duke of the
Joseph Chamberlain and Win
ston Spencer Churchill, is being refit-
ted for the use of Mr. Roosevelt This
car is most complete in it's details and

sons Rulings and Suggests Dismissal
Defense Asks for Instructed Yer
dict and Receives II.
Chicago, March 1o-"Not guilty"

Chicago, March 10-"Not guilty"
This is the result reached TODAY in
the governments famous suit against
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
The suit of the government where
in the defendant company at one time
faced fine of $29,24O, 900 at the hands
or Judge Lands on charge of hav-
ing accepted rebates from the Chicago
IL Alton railroad, came to an end
abruptly. Judge Anderson, before
whom the case was brought after re-
versal by the United States court OF
appeals, instructed the jury to find a
verdict of not guilty.
Judge Anderson's decision was not
altogether unlocked for, he having
previously announced that the proof
relied upon in the first trial was in =
competent, and it was with something
OF an air of hopelessness that District
Attorney Sims and his assistants at
tempted to show the admisbility of
the Illinois classification to prove the
existence of legal rate of is cents.
This was the vital point in the g r.
ernfhent's contention.
Assistant District Attorney Willer-
son admitted that the prosecution
could not furnish the proof deemed
necessary and suggested dismissal.
Attorney Miller then moved for an
instructed verdict Of not guilty This
was ordered.
Baker and Seaman Of the United
States court of appeals, reversing
Judge Lands, together with the action
Of the United States supreme court,
in refusing to review the decision Of
the court Of appeals, played an impor-
tant part in disposing of the case.
Whether prosecution on seven other
indictments still pending against the
company will be instituted, District
Attorney Sims would not express an
opinion, stating that the question rest
ed entirely with the attorney general.
A Serious Blow.
The federal authorities said tonight
Judge Anderson's ruling will invali-
date class tariffs and make it impos-
sible to convict shipper for viola
tions of class tariff regulations.
Judge Peter S. Grosscup, who wrote
the opinion of the United States cir
cult court of appeals, upon which
Judge Anderson based his action, said:
THE thing for the government to do
is to do away with classifications in
the regulation of tariff rates and make
the railroads file tariffs of more spe-
cific rates on each commodity without
regard to classification. This might
mean great cost to the railroads, but
I know nothing of that Changing of
tariffs, however, means particular
changes to meet conditions and means
no more of a complete change than is
made in different editions of a tele-
phone directory"
Judge Landis had nothing to say
the decision.

DOMESTIC TROUBLE
CAUSE OF SHOOTING

Butte, March 10-In a special to the
Miner further details of the killing Of
Herman Hogle' by Edward Smith at
Gillette, Wyo., last Monday night ap-
parently give it the stamp of cold
blooded affair. The shooting followed
the separation of Smith from his wife,
Smith walked into the home of his wife
and found Hagle there with another
man and woman, all neighbors. Smith
whipped out his revolver and without
word, and ignoring Hogle's cries Of
Don't do. that. for Gods sake" shot
him dead as the latter held his hands
before his face, as if to shut out the
flash Of Smiths gun. Maintaining his
silence, Smith then surrendered him.
self to deputy sheriff. and is now in
Jail.
Smith was formerly marshal at Gill
lette, which position he lost a year
ago for disorderly conduct. Going to
Moorecroft he secured a similar posi-
tion. Hogle was bartender. Do
mestic trouble is believed to be behind
the tragedy.

SAYS FATHER SHOT
HIS SON
STATE ARGUES THAT COLONEL
COOPER WOUNDED BOY, AND
cARMACk DID NOT.

Nashville, Tenn, March 1O-"We
contend that Colonel d. B. Cooper fired
the shot which wounded his son, and
that Senator Carmack, if he fired at
all, fired wildly"
Attorney General Garner made this
announcement today in the arguments
in the trial of the Coopers and Sharpe,
charged with numbering f. w. Car
mack. General Garner declared it
would have been physical impossi-
bility for Carmack to shoot Robin as
the Coopers swear he did. The rea-
sonable solution of the problem, he
said, was that Colonel Cooper opened
fire on Carmack as Mrs Eastman be-
lieves he did and that bullet from
his pistol struck the telephone post,
was DETECTED and entered Robins
shoulder. He contended that this the
ory Is supported by the course of the
bullet, which penetrated the flesh only
an inch and a half and failed to
strike a bone.
The proceedings We're interrupted by
the sudden fainting of Mrs. Carmack.
The attention of the audience was in
stantly diverted to the widow of the
murdered man.

It IS NOT A CRIME
TO ROB ONES WIFE.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Butte, March 1O.-With comparative
ease the police located Mike Smith,
who is accused of skipping away
from his wife after a week Of welded
bliss with $500 of her money. He
denies the charge, and says that be-
cause he was drunk is the only rea-
son he has been away from home so
long. Under the Montana statutes, it
is said it is no crime to rob your
wife, so a term of vagrancy is about
all he can get. No trace of the money
has been found.

UNCERTAINTY OF CANNON'S POL
ICY IN APPOINTING COMMIT
TEES CAUSES CONCERN.
DEMOCRATS SPECULAT|NG
Minority Membership of Lower Branch
of Congress is Considerable Perturbed
Also Over the Possibility of Being
Defeated in the Accomplishment Of
Its Cherished Plans.

Washington, March 10.-"Insur-
gents" and democrats were indulging
in much speculation at the capitol
today as to what would be the policy
of Speaker Cannon in selecting the
committees of the next house in the
event he is successful in the present
fight over the organization Of the
house in the Sixty-first congress. The
democrats are apprehensive that the
speaker will assume the right to fill
the minority as well as the majority
places on the committees. Several
democrats have appealed to the
speaker directly for appointment on
certain committees,
When John Sharp Williams was
minority leader, Speaker Cannon re-
ferred all such appointments to the
minority leader. He has taken no
such action this time. Minority
Leader Clark's friends say he can in
terpret this course in but one way.
There have been no conferences be-
tween the minority leader and the
Speaker Cannon may classify the 'in-
scheduled The democrats will make
political capital out of the failure to
recognize the minority leader. They
will argue that this is another illus
tration of the despotic power of the
speaker
Another possibility worrying the
democrats and the insurgents is that
Speaker Cannon may classify he "in-
surgents' as minority members of the
house and make up committees on
Iot hos sic a
democratic representation On the COM
mittees and might prove embarrass-
ing to the insurgents
Fight to Last.
Mr. Clark conferred today with
Representatives Nelson and Gardner
of the insurgents" All claimed aft
erwards that the fight on the rules is
not to be abandoned, and it was de-
MED that the democrats and insur-
gents have entered into an agreement
as to voting for any specific rules.
The democratic caucus likely will
be held next Monday before the house
convenes and will adopt resolution
in favor of carrying out the pledge
of the Denver platform to reduce the
power of the speaker.
On the floor of the house the demo-
Gratis will attempt to lead in the op-
position to adopting the rules. They
will not allow that honor to go to the
insurgents" The opposition of
large number of democrats to the
election of committee to elect the
committees will probably defeat the
plan of the insurgents if an opportun-
ity arises to consider that amendment
on the floor. Thep roposition to have
the committee on rules elected by the
house and to bar the speaker from
the committee will have more support
from the democratic SIDE
AS an evidence of their desire not
to interfere with the tariff legisla-
ton the insurgent leaders today an
nounced that they are willing for the
speaker to appoint the committee on
ways and means, the other commit
tees to be selected by a committee on
rules and committees.

Mr.. Bowen has been engaged in this

he occupies both in a business and a
