NATIVES AGAIN SEE
BWANA TUnBO FAIL
For Second Successive Day
Colonel Roosevelt Misses
His Kill.

NAIROBI, British East Africa, May
22.-For the second successive day, Col.
Theodore Roosevelts heretofore deadly
aim has failed him. and he would have
lost the game he was after. but for the
shots OF others ia the party.
Yesterday it was Kermit. who killed
a buffalo after his father had wounded
it, and today it was the shots OF two
others in the party that prevented a
huge buffalo bull from getting away
after Colonel Roosevelt had hit It twice,
but only slightly wounded 1t.
After his success in killing a charging
rhinoceros with a single shot, and in
bagging a lot of other big game, with
equal ease. the natives have come TO
expect Roosevelt TO kill all of his game
single handed. There Is no danger,
however. of the natives losing their awe
for either Bwana Tumbo or Bwana
Mtoto.
The Roosevelt party is having fine
time on the Heatley ranch. Roosevelt
ss.ys the conveniences Of the place far
exceed those TO which he was accus-
toned in the frontier life he once en-
joyed In America

Enemies of California Graft
Fighter Are Seeking Bit
of Revenge.

The opponents Of Francis J. Heney,
the Pacific coast graft fighter. are tax
ing steps to deprive him OF the support
Of the Federal Government, which he
has been enjoying eince 1904 at an aver
age annual compensation of $4,000.
The Department Of Justice, which has
just sent for use in the Calhoun prose-
cution at San Francisco. all Of Heney's
original salary bills and vouchers and
original appointment paper, is expecting
to be momentarily met with a demand
for the withdrawal Of Heney's appoint
ment as special assistant to the Attor-
ney General.
L is hinted at the Department Of
Justice that the demand, if made. viii
have to be given consideration, mas
much, as Heneys services for three
years past appear TO have been devoted
almost exclusively to the San Francisco
municipal graft cases, IN which the
Federal Government has no lawful In
terest.
It Is known here that Henev's enc
mics are determined to make him appear
in the light of having been pIucIxinar
Uncle Sam at the same time that he
was being amply paid out of me anti
graft fund raised by Spreckels, Scripps
and other powerful and wealthy men Of
the coast.
Heney got his commission by direction
OF President Roosevelt, he having first
been Instrumental ia working up the
land fraud In Oregon Roosevelt gave
him the moral and financial support OF
the Federal Government. He sent him
a lengthy telegram OF sympathy at the
time he was shot and later entertained
him at the White House as soon as
Heney was able to make the trip east.

SCANDAL GROWING
APACE IN NEW YORK
CUSTOMS SERVICE
Loeb's Investigation Ex-
pected to Bring Forth Far
Reaching Accusations.
NOTED IMPORTERS
MAY BE INVOLVED
Detectives Collector Employs Also
Get Information Against a
Transportation Company.

The Federal Governments fnvestiga-
ton into the New York customs frauds
threatens disclosures more astounding
than those recently unearthed In the
false Weighing OF sugar for the benefit
of the Sugar trust.
If the grave fears of certain high Of
ficials are realized. there will be dis
closed the existence OF a conspiracy OF
many years standing and of such mag
nitude as may involve not only customs
inspectors but seme big importers, a
transportation company. and some men
higher up in the New York seSe4se.
Il is understood that the detective
force which has been employed in un-
earthing graft has been supplemented
by additional Secret Service men. and
that they have worked to such purpose
as to have secured a strong lead on
the following abuses:
Under valuation OF imports
Coilusion between transportation line
employees and inspectors.
Bribery of inspectors by importers.
Frauds in weighing
Inspectors graft on travelling public
Acceptance by customs officials of en-
tertainment and presents from impor-
teTs.
Secretary Behind Movement.
Although Franklin MacVeagh, Secre-
tary of the Treasury. is not in a posi-
ton to commit himself as to the prog
ress Of the investigation. and is in
e.ined to publically minimize the re-
ports OF extensive frauds, he makes it
perfectly clear that he is with the
movement for a wedding out OF any cor
ruption that exists in the New York
service.
''It is not that am moro Interested
in good, honest administration in New
York than elsewhere" he explained to-
day. "but because OF the disclosures
that have been made there and my per
sonal knowledge after a visit that GER
tain changes IN the methods of doing
business should be given prompt at
tention.''
The Secretary says that he did not
assume charge of the Treasury JJe-
partment with the intention Of insti-
tuting any special reforms. but condi-
Tor them "oVer there" as ne puG it.,
with wave of his hand in the diIec-
ton of the metropolis.
He stated, with no Little emphasis,
that he intends to go 10 the bottom
and II can be seen that there Is 70 be
no abatement OF the investigation
''No one has spoken 10 me about this
case" he mildly remarked. but that
may be due 10 my having announced
that there would be no use in the at
tempt being ruade 10 interfere with tie
work which 1 have ordered and viii y
Collector Loeb Is executing with MAJ ked
ability he added.
