.PATTEN TO COLORADO.
Fleeing From Newspaper Publicity, So
He Says.

Trinidad, Colo. April 22.-James A.
Patten, Chicago's Wheat King" who
was reported yesterday to have de-
serted the battle in the wheat pit to
inspect for himself the wheat situa-
ton in the central west, arrived in
Trinidad this morning, and left shortly
afterwards for Tercio, Col. a little
post station near the New Mexico
line. From there Mr. Patten will
drive overland 25 miles to the ranch
of w. H. Bartlett, near Vermejo park,
N. M. The trip will not be a pleasant
one, either, for a binding snow storm
is prevailing today. and the 25 mile
ride must be made over the noun
ta1ns through heavy snow drifts.
Mr.. Patten appeared tired and ex-
tremely nervous, and he was not in
the best of temper when approached
by a reporter. In fact he was rather
peevish.
None of your business" was his
answer to question as to his mission
in Trinidad.
I've been bounded to death by re-
porters for weeks
Asked concerning the report that he
wheat throughout the west, Mr. Patten
refused to answer. 1t is understood
Mr.. Patten will spend sometime at
the ranch, and, as it is remote from
telegraphic and railroad communica-
ton, his desire for rest and relaxation
will probably be gratified.
Patten Was Angry
Patten displayed great anger, when
the reporter persisted in questioning
him regarding wheat conditions.
TITS none of your business what I
think" he snapped. turning on the
reporter. 81 want to forget wheat
and I'm tired of reporters. Get out"
That settled it. Mr.. Patten shut up
and so did the reporter. Mr.. Patten
reached Trinidad at O'Clock this
after a short rest at hotel. He is

and sticking a big cigar in his mouth.
lit it and stolidly smoking. occasionally
glared at the curious crowd which had
invaded the smoking car and had
gathered on the depot platform to get
a glimpse of the famous wheat
king
At the hotel where Mr.. Patten
rested for few hours he was warned
by the clerk that 1t would be dan
gerous to attempt the overland trip
from Tercio to the Bartlett ranch to-
day, as a furious blizzard is raging in
the mountains.

The stage can not reach the Bart
lett ranch before nightfall, and the
roads are In a dangerous condition as
a result of the almost unprecedented
snowfall, tremendous snowslides being
of frequent occurrence over the noun

as were all the members of his party.
The Admiral entered Killindini harbor
flying the American flag at her fore
and main masts She dipped the Ger
man ensign while passing the British
cruiser Pandora. whose rails and masts
were manned by cheering sailors.
The Pandora saluted the ex-president,
who was on the bridge watching with
interest the coming into port. The peo-
pie of Mombasa were in great state
of expectancy throughout the day and
the first word of the sighting of the
ship brought them in crowds to vantage
points. where they might catch a
glimpse of the distinguished visitor.
The Admiral came slowly UP to the
harbor. and it was dark when they
made a landing. They We're brought
ashore in the commandant's surf boat
and carried to a place of shelter In
chairs on natives shoulders.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he was in splend-
id health. The governors aide boarded
the Admiral and extended a welcome
tc Mr.. Roosevelt. who received another
cordial greeting on shore from the pro-
Vncial commissioner. who conducted
him to the government house. S. Z.
Cunningham. the hunter and field nat
uralist. who is in charge of the ex-
pedition, was also on hand.
The former president seemed highly
pleased when he observed the military
guard drawn up. He replied to the
SudEQS OS uOlliUS MS tdl dIiu
smiling broadly. The crowds on shore
pressed eagerly forward to see the no
ted American. TNey We're composed of
Europeans. Indians and natives, and
presented a picturesque appearance,
while genuinely hearty in their well
come of the former president of the
United States. the people were not in
any way demonstrative.
The Admiral left Alden a week ago.
and the voyage to this port was inter-
rupted only by a brief stop at Mogadisci,
in Italian Somahland- The trip was
without special incident. the most in
teresting feature of it being the cap
tain's dinner to Mr.. Roosevelt, on
Tuesday. The saloon was artistically
decorated on this occasion, and much
es. in which there were exchanges of
good fellowship and good wishes. In
toasting the eX-president. the captain
wished him God speed and safe re-
turn to the United States. Mr.. Roose-
welt replied in a characteristic vein. and
then in English. German and French.
1t has been the intention of the party
to remain in Mombasa for two days,
but the floods have been heavy, and it
was deemed advisable to change this
plan.
The special train which will carry
Mr.. Roosevelt and his party to Alfred
Pease's ranch on the Athi river. will
leave here at > o'clock this afternoon.
The acting governor of the protectorate,
F. J. Jackson. entertained the ex-presi-
dent at dinner. and later they proceed
ed to one of the clubs. The Roosevelt
party will be taken in carriages about
the town, and as far as possible, the
governor and his associates will meet
the special instructions from King Ed
ward. to show every consideration to
the distinguished travellers.
F. c. Zelous the noted English hunt
er. was a guest at the dinner. He will
accompany Mr.. Roosevelt on his trip
for the shooting expedition.

SPENT $4,000 SINCE JAN.
Record Made by John Schmidt for
Whom Guardian Is Sought.

Whether or not John E Schmidt is
an habitual drunkard, is the question
before Judge Schoch and jury in
probate court today. The investiga
ton is being held upon complaint
made by AL Schmidt, the defendants
brother, and over a dozen witnesses
have been called to testify AL
schmidt. the first witness, said that
his brother had spent $4,000 since
January 1 of this year, and got drunk
every Saturday night and Sunday. Dhe
evidence of other witnesses seemed to
show that Schmidt was "a good
spender." President Metzger of the
German-American bank testified to
large sums of money drawn within a
short time by Schmidt, and explained
the difference in the signatures of sew
eral of the cancelled checks by saying
that Schmidt was either drunk or get
ting on a jag when the unsteady
signatures were appended.
John Schmidt was formerly part
ner with his brother, Al Schmidt, in
the Kansas Packing House market
Two years ago he sold his interest to
his brother, and is now charged with
trying to spend all the money. After
selling his part of the partnership, he
was employed by his brother in the
market until the latter sold out
John Schmidt is well known in To-
a proficient hand at spending money
and an advocate of the theory that it
we'll to s'take something for that dry
feeling
The investigation of Schmidt's ca
pacity for booze and business will oc-
cupy the entire afternoon, as numer-
Gus witnesses are on hand to testify.
