The state OF Texas has a contract
with the owners of the mine that
each pickman shall dig seven tons
of coal day, except in the arched
entries. where only six tons daily are
demanded. and because Of the great
Ell hazard in this work than that on

mine owners $44 per month per man
instead of $31 per month as is de-
manded by the state for farm labor

Many of the fellows who are un-
able to make their daily tasl have
been severely flogged and in order
to avoid a repetition of this cruel
treatment, they have resortad to
buying extra coal from their more
proficient fellows, who are able tu
do more than the daily task. One
convict, few months after having

the required amount, stole away in
to one of the deserted tunnels in an
effort TO escape and was killed there
by the coal coming in on him.

ROOSEVELT OFF
FOR GREAT HUNT
EXPRESiDENT SAILS AWAY TO
DARK CONTINENT.
TO BE IN AFRICA A YEAR
Then He Will Travel and Speak in
Europe-Three Skilled Naturalists
and His Son Kermit Accom-
pany Him.

New York.-Theodore Roosevelt, ex-
president OF the United States, sailed
out of New York harbor Tuesday on
the steamer Hamburg of the Hamburg
American line on the way TO his much
heralded hunting trip in British East
Africa.
On the dock was a large assemblage
OF Mr.. Roosevelt's friends, who had
gathered to bid him God-speed, and
who cheered him as he stood at the
rail of the steamer waving his hand
and smiling with delight Beside him
stood the three men selected from
hundreds Of applicants to accompany
him and assist him in collecting the
specimens of African fauna which he
hopes to send back for the enrichment
of the Smithsonian institution. These
fortunate individuals were Maj. Ed
gar A. Mearns, J. Loring Alden and
Edmund Heller. They comprise the
Smithsonian expedition. The fifth
member of the little party, and not to
be considered of least importance. was

to deliver the Romanes lecture at Ok
ford university and in all probability
the honorary degree of d. c. L., which
Oxford has bestowed on Emperor Will.
lam, will be conferred on Mr.. Roose-
velt
The versatility of Mr.. Roosevelt will
be shown by the fact that he will
speak German in his address before
the students of the University of Ber.
lin, French in his lecture at the Sor.
bonne, and English in delivering the
Romanes lecture at Oxford.
Pays His Own Expenses.
Mr.. Roosevelt will defray the ex.
penses of himself and his son on the
African trip, but those of the scien-
lists and the cost of preparing the
lea will be paid out of a fund secured
for the purpose by the Smithsonian
institution.
One of the objects of Mr.. Roosevelt
in taking this trip is for the purpose
OF collecting material for writing sew
eral books regarding his experiences.
During last summer he contracted with
Charles Scribner's Sons, of New York,
giving that firm all the rights for the
serial and book-form publication of
whatever he might write on his visit
to Africa. 1t is said that the contract
price agreed upon is 81 per word,
but this never has been verified.
No Slaughter of Animals.
Even if the British colonial govern
ment should offer to throw open to Mr..
Roosevelt and his companions the AT
rican game preserves under it's con
troll, the eX-president will refuse to
take advantage of this opportunity.
Like other true sportsmen, he believes
that the utmost protection should be
given to wild animals on reservations
and that permission to kill them
should not be given or accepted under
any circumstances unless, possibly.
when predatory animals are becoming
too numerous.
Moreover, the killing Of animals fer
sport is not fhe main object OF his trip.
Mr.. Roosevelt hopes to send back t.
the Smithsonian institution two adG,t
specimens, one of each sex, and T.
specimen of their young. of animals

To Mombasa Via Naples.
Mr.. Roosevelt will go via Gibraltar
to Naples, where he will board a
steamer Of the German East African
line for Kilindini harbor, the port of
Mombasa. At the latter place the
party will be joined by r. j. Cum
ninghame, an Englishman of long ex.
perience in Africa, who has been en-
gagged as general manager and guide.
The party will spend short time in
Mombasa and then proceed by train
on the Uganda railway to Nairobi,

of 1854 inhabitants, of whom $40 are

NEW COLORADO EXECUTIVE

Gov. John F. Shafroth, the new executive of
Colorado, has stirred up a statewide avalanche
of comment, good and bad, by his announce
ment that he will depart widely from the ways
of his predecessor in the matter Of pardon
granting. The former governor was a Methodist
preacher, Rev Harry NJ. Buchtel, and he found
himself unable to turn deaf ear, apparently, to
the pleas of the pardon-seekers. Men and wom-
en- were released from the penitentiary in a
stream by his orders.
Now Shafroth announces that while he is
on the job it is going to be a pretty heavy task
to drag pardon out of his office. He has start
ed to prove his promise by dumping a wagon
load of petitions and afIdavits into the waste

In general way the course of the
