LANDOR TELLS OF AFRICA
Noted Explorer Lectures Before Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Crossed Dark Continent nj Widest
Point, and Made Researches
Among Wild Tribes.

Last night. at the New Masonic Temple.
A. Henry Savage Landor. the noted ex-
plorer. delivered a lecture upon his recent
trip across Africa before the National
Geographic Society. Mr.. Landor viii be
remembered as the first white man to
reached Lzsza. the forbidden city OF
Tibet, after many privstions and hard
ships.
Mr Landor crossed Africa IN clothes
such as he would wear in Piccadilly OF
in Pennsylvania avenue in summer. and
an ordinary straw hat, and although he
took no precautions against mala-ial
fever. he returned home IN excellent
health.
The explorer differed from the major
ity OF African travellers by crossing that
continent IN its northern and widest part
from Djfbuti, on the east coast, IN
French somaIland. to Cape Verde. the
most westerly point Of Africa. on the
Atlantic.
Unaccompan.ed by any white man, he
covered $50 miles. visiting SomaIIland.
Abyssinia. the curious tribes OF the Bahr-
el-Ghazal. the Niam-Niama. the csnni-
balls Of the French and Belgian Congo.
the amazingly deformed races OF the
Shari basin, and the German Csmeroons.
He made interesting studies on Lake
Tchsd. visiting the practically unknown
countries IN the desert east and north OF
that immense sheet Of water
Mr.. LaadoT stated in bis lecture that
for 3s4 DAYS he marched steadily across
country. with only natives in his CON-
pany. and for several months lived
among cannibals. He showed many in
teresting photographs His pictures OF
the race Of giants that inhsbit the coun-
try near the Abyssinian frontier created
a great deal of interest
Mr.. Landor also spoke OF the language
spoken by the dwarfs Of the forest, and
showed photographs OF the peculiar peo-
pie near Lake TchEd- who elonERte their
lips 10 a Tepulsive extent
In describing his journey across Africa
he said: Most Of our travelling was done
marching across country, on mules.
horses. camels. oxen. donkeys. and or
foot and my experiences were often ex-
tremely exciting ] had many humorous
experiences. showing that life among saw
ages can be made amusing as well as IN
stTuctive, If one knows how to do it
Mr.. Landor has written several books.
among them being The Gems Of the
East" China and the Allies. IN the

SITE
FOR DEPOT

At a meeting OF the citizens rail
road committee this morning. it II az
formally decided that the commit tee
accept the proposition of E. l.. Bedell,
including an offer Of ground for the
depot site for the new railroad. This
acceptance locates beyond further dis
cussion the new depot In the block
just east OF the present railroad and
between Second and Third streets.
This site meets with the approval
of a majority OF the business men for
it will create less disturbance i'm pres.
section of the city than any other site
that was suggested. In other words,
it will enhance the value OF all proper
ty, but none more than others.
At the Saturday afternoon meeting
of the committee with MT. Kennedy,
the promoter asked for the remainder
of the deeds for right-ofsway, terni.
nails and depot site, as the people
whom he represents want to build 9
material track in the near future. The
track building is to be commenced at
both ends.
1t is stated by reliable parties that
Mr.. Kennedy refused a bona ade Of
fer to turn over his part OF the town
site property between Roswen and
Lubbock, certain we'll known parties
having made him such an offer Satur-
day Instead of selling out Mr.. Ken
nedy is looking for investments in
Roswell. 1t is stated that he offered
$50, 900 for the present post Office cor
ner which recently sold for $26,555.
His offer was turned down.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The plans
for the hunting of President Roosevelt
were made public today, the following
statement being issued:
Theodore Roosevelt, fifty years OF
age, having, on March 4, with his re-
tirement as twenty-sixth President OF
the United States, completed over
twenty-five years of public service,
has decided to take rest and recreat-
ion in two-years trip abroad, half
of which will be spent in Africa under
the British flag a faunal naturalist
and the other half in Europe visiting
at least three of the big capitals. AT
the head of a scientific expedition out
fitted by the Smithsonian Institution
OF Washington he will, with his son,
Kermit, and three American natural
lists of note-Major Edgar A. Mearns,
J. Loring Alden and Edmund Heller
make a collection of mammals, birds,
reptiles, insects and botanical speci-
mems of Central Africa, which will be
deposited in the United States Nat
ional Museum at Washington.
The party leave New York City a.
bout the middle of March, going by
the Mediterranean route to Gibraltar
and Naples. At Naples the members
of the expedition will board steamer
of the German East African Line for
h1llQQlU1 ndTDu, SlOln DcASd lSldalu
They will arrive at the East African
port toward the end of April, proceed
by the Uganda Railroad to Nairobi,
spend six months there, then continue
by rail to Port Florence, Lake Victor
ia Nyanza, making a total distance of
5S4 miles by rail. The expedition will
cross Ugar Ia by caravan, and, finally
pass down the whole length of the
Nile, reaching Khartoum about April,
1910. Much of the hunting and Speci
men collecting will be done in Brit
ish East Africa, where the Uganda
Railroad will be used as a means of
ready transportation from Nairobi,
which will be the base of supplies.
At Khartoum, it is expected, the
President and his son will be Joined
by Mrs. Roosevelt, who will accom-
pany them on their trip to Europe.
The naturalists of the party will pro-
ceed direct to the United States from
Egypt. Mr.. Roosevelt probably will
remain in Continental Europe and
Great Britain about one year, having
accepted invitations to deliver the Ro-
names Lecture at Oxford University,
at address at the Sorbonne in Paris
and lecture before the students of
the University of Berlin.
Lc ng has 1T been the desire of MIR.
Roo evelt to make a hunting tour in
numerous trips in search of big game
where such animals make their abode.
For years he has been an ardent hunt
er and writer of hunting stories.
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1909-02-22

Statements have been made to the
effect that the game preserves in
British East Africa under control Of
the British Colonial 4Goser14nent are
to be opened to the President and his
companions to shoot at will No ad-
vantage OF these. offers viii be taken.
Mr.. Roosevelt having made Nd his
mind to decline to do any shooting on
government preserves where the hunt
ing is not open to all. The feeling of
the President ON this matter of shoot
ing on government reservations he
explains in this way: A person tax
ing advantage to shoot on government
reservations in Africa would be ex-
actly in the same position of any for
eigner who came to America and was
given permission by the United States
government to shoot at will in the gov.
ernment reservation at Yellowstone
Park, where the American buffalo, to
be found almost nowhere else, roams
unmolested. The President declares
that such permission rightly would
arouse resentment.
Mr.. Roosevelt shares with other
sportsmen the telling that the wild
animals on reservations should Ebe
protected to the utmost and that un-s
der no circumstances should pe1Hais<
sion be given to kill them ezcept,
possibly, when predatory aniznals be
come to numerous for the -safetv m
other practically detenseless animals.
Permission for one person to shoot
ON reservation, MIR. Roosevelt be-
heves, would lead eventually to per-
mission to others and that in the end
the game reservation would not be a
reservation at all in ito nrDner sensa
It Is Mr.. Roosevelt's desire that his

SENATOR ROOSEVELT DIGS
UP ANOTHER SENSATION.

Washington, Feb. 22.-President
Roosevelt yesterday added another
stirring chapter to the secret service
controversy in a vigorous and lengthy
reply to attacks made on this branch
Of the government in the recent re-
port of Senator Hemenway of the
Senate Committee on Appropriations.
Hemenway in his report, upholding
limitation in the scope of the secret
service asserted that it had never
been the intention of congress to
build up a spy system, and with evil
dent reference to this part of the re-
port the President declared that if the
limitation on the use of the secret
service had been in force when a SEN
Sational fraud was unearthed a few
years ago, senator, a representative
and various men of wealth and high
political influence who at the time
were convicted would all have escap-
ed punishment. The Presidents let
ter was addressed to acting Chairman
Hale of the appropriations committee
