KILLED BIG GAME Harvard African Hunter Back Says Roosevelt :
 Takes No Risk.

New York, July 31.-W. G. Sewau. a young Harvard graduate who has been hunting in Africa three years, re- turned yesterday by the Cunarder Mauretania- He said that Col. Roose- welt took little or no risk in the sport ged IT ! elephants, the ivory from which brought him enough money to pay all the expenses of his trip. He also killed lions, hartbeests and bison. The hides of much of the game that fell under his rifle and lot of ele- phant tusks are on their way to this port.
 MT Sewan met King Menelik of Abyssinia, who received the hunter sitting on a throne that looked like an automobile. The King gave his family history through an interpreter He declared that he and his people were descended from the Queen of They looked somewhat like Cauca- sians, MT. Sewall said. He was the only white man In his caravan, vary ing in number from 50 to 75 pofzers. all Mohammedans. Before crossing a river the natives read the Koran-or one of them did-and then prayed to the crocodfles to please not bite them. After the prayer the camelsA would swim the river with boats in tow.
 MT. SewaH fell in with the caravan of Capt. Riddle. a British officer em- ployed by a trading company. Capt. Riddle became i'll with fever and MT.

DEMOCRATS FOR
 VIGOROUS FIGHT
Sore at Being Betrayed by Aldrich in the Conference
 Committee
SENATOR BAILEY LEADS
Especial from United Press.o

Especial from United Press.) Washington. July 31.-Althougfl the leaders in both the Senate and House profess the utmost confidence that they have the necessary number of votes to adopt the conference report on the tariff bill. it is recognized that there are still obstacles in the way. Wheth- CT these are serious or not will de- velop during today. The Democratic
 Senators were in session this morning to determine their course of action. That they are particularly defiant over the cotton bagging schedule is apparent. The amendment making it free was accepted by Aldrich on the floor of the Senate avowedly in order to save time and avoid a long discus sion but with the promise that it should receive due consideration ia the conference committee. The Democrats declare that they have been betrayed and they are disposed to make frou- ble.
 Senator Bailey is especially sore He declared early today that if half a dozen Senators would stand by him. the report which would hold Congress in long session. It is not believed Bailey will get the support he needs.
 Senator Heyburn, one of the anti free hide men. has refused to talk for days but inasmuch as he has secured all that he wants in the lead schedule he is expected to be more reasona ble when the time comes to consider the hides and lumber tariffs. There is no, intention of delaying action by long discussions. The so-called progres- sive Republicans who voted against the bill when it passed the Senate are. having private consultations among themselves. They all agree that they will not unnecessarily delay final ac-. ton by extensive remarks. It is ex- pected that the original ten will be reduced to five minutes when it comes to vote. The irreconcilable ones are Clapp, -LaFpllette, Bristow, Dolliver and Cummins. It may be that Nel-. son and Beveridge will stick with them ~
 The Senate expects to take up the bill on Monday and hopes to complete it's consideration and adjourn by ths end of tl.e week. In the House >fh insurgent element has gone to pieces and since President Taft has giveI them assurances that the bill is satis- factory to him in the main, there will be very few Republican votes cast against it,
 The House met at 10 o'clock this morniax with the intention of re- mair ing in session until the bill is disposed of

WORK ON SEWER DEFERRED UNTIL
 HEARING IS HAD
Triest 6 Go. Are Lowest Bid ders and Get Contract Can Corporations Be As sessed for Benefits?

Because the common council did not order hearing on the location of the trunk sewer which is to be built from Water street to the water, in Congress street, the contract for the work was only conditionally awarded, by the permanent paving commission, last night. The lowest bidders were Snare Triest & Co.,, who are building the new Congress street bridge, who will do the work for s6.610. The B. D. Pierce Jr., Co.,, bid $7,443. The United Illuminating Company owns the property on one side of the proposed sewer and the Connecticut company the property on the other side. The question was raised as to whether either company can be assessed for benefits as both have the right to sewer into the harbor. The Triest Co.,, was empowered to build so much of the sewer as extends through the approach to the bridge and 1t is un- derstood that they will do all the work, when the legal forma1ities have been complied with.
