Nairobi, British East Africa, May rs.
A STAFF correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press returned to Nairobi this
| morning after two days visit at the
| Roosevelt camp as the guest OF Mr..
| Roosevelt.
The camp was located on the Heart
| ley ranch. on the banks Of the Natrobi
River. Mr.. Roosevelt and his son, ker-
init, are in remarkably good health
and they are, delighted with the sue
cess Of their expdition.4 The accuracy
of the rife fire of Mr.. Roosevelt and
his son has astonished not only the
settlers but the members of the party.
Kermit killed recently at close range
hyena that had attacked him and he
has also come very near making a
record bag of female wArt hogs in a
given space of time.
Today the party is staying at the
Hartley ranch but tomorrow Mr..
Roosevelt, his son and Edmund Heller,
are coming into Nairobi- Major Mearns
and Major Loring will remain at the
Ju ia ranch until Wednesday, collect
ing birds ana mammals.
Mr.. Roosevelt is annoyed at certain
special dispatches which. 1t is re-
ported here. are appearing in Ameri-
can and English newspapers. He re-
quests the Associated Press to send
out the following statement:
NO newspaper, has a representa-
tive with the Roosevelt party, nor any
nearer means OF gaining information
of the party's doings beyond what is
generally known. Any special dis
patches appearing are in all human
probability sheer inventions. More
over tho details which purport to be
thus obtained can only be due to brib-
cry and it is safe to state that dis
honorable man giving a bride and a
dishonorabIs man accepting the same
would be willing 10 invent untruths

Prepayment Is an essential condition in

Someone has said that the express
companies buy transportation at whole
sale and sell 1t at retail. but even this
Is not all. They do an order and com
mission business. Fruit growers ev
erywhere declare that the Interstate
Commerce Commission ought not to take
the right of doing this sort of business
out of their hands. In recent near
ing 1t was pointed out that many
growers got surer and better returns
when entrusting the sale OF their goods
70 the express companies, than by
sending them to regular commission
merchants In many sections large
trucking business has been fostered
and built up through the aid of the ex-
nress companies in marketing the
goods. The commission houses are
irving to prevent a. continuation or this
business through petitions filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
No decision has been reached by that
body as to the legality of this prac-
tice under the terms of the rate law.
In addition to acting as commission
merchants, the express companies will
purchase goods for customers in any
town where they have agencies. They
Will file legal documents, redeem pawn
ed articles. enter and clear imports and
exports. transport goods in bond, ex-
change foreign money, pay gas bills,
and in short serve as business agents
in any sort of legitimate transaction
where the transportation of goods or
the exchange of money is involved.
1t is So id that no other business in
the United States yields such great re-
turns on so small an investment as the
express business. With a total equip
ment valued at less than S10.000,000
they are able to show gross earnings of

repUdiates the suggestion that the New

ming things their own way for the bene-
fit of their particular section
Mr.. SmOot is taking an active part in
the framing of the tariff bill which the
upper house viii offer and he is devot-
ing special attention to the schedules
in which his own part OF the country is
interested.
1t is wrong to let the impression get
abroad that the New England Senator'S,
who are members of the Finance Com
mittee, are debating the raSes in the
interest of their section and without re-
gard to other parts of the country,
said Senator SmOOt. There is no
ground for such complaint. There has
not been a vote or suggestion in tae
committee TO give color to this idea.
On the contrary, the New England
members have all shown a disposition
TO support protection rates for every in
dustry. wherever II may be located
