Celebration in the Roosevelt
Campfire Ex-President
Proud of His Record as a
Lion Hunter.
BY Associated Press.

Nairobi. Africa. May -Four lions
are trophies of Roosevelt's camp in
the Mau hills tonight. and two hun
dred natives are joining in the cele-
bTation of the unusually good luck.
The lions were bagged yesterday.
Roosevelt's mighty gun brought three
of them to earth, each on the first
shot. Thus one of the eX-presidents
fOndest ambitions has beel realized.
He is also proud that the foIFf tn of the
jungle kings fell before the gun of
Kermit who. however. took three
shots. Both the father and son are
jubilani.
The lions are of normal size and
were dragged by natives TO the camp.
The caravan started early yester-
day morning and several kinds of
game were killed by nightfall. Ker-
nit used a camera more than a gun.

T. ChaIllley Hatton, consulting en-
gineeT, started in Friday to make his
official inspection of the sewerage ard
drainage system as buiIC by r. G.
StOTTie. During the past severaI
months Mr.. Stories hleE, under the
inspection OF Geo. Rommel, resident
engineer Tor Mr. Hatton, and his as
sisiants, have been floating balls
Uhrough the sewers. These balls are
made of wood circular in form, and
are two inches less in diameter than
the internal diameter of the sewer.
They are passed through the sewers
by a flush of water from the water
mains placed in each mannole, the
water carrying the ball through from
manlTole to manhole.
During this operation the bail be-
comes stranded If there is any hard
substance in the sewer which the
water. passing around the ball. can
not move along. Usually such stop
pages are caused by cement left in
the joints of the pipe, the workmen
failing to properly scrub the joints as
they laid it.
PASSED THROUGH ALL.
The balls have already been passed
through all the sewers, and have be-
come stranded numbers of times. Each
time the obstruction has been found
and removed so that the bail could
be finally passed freely through.
The sewer might, however. be built
crooked, both as 30 hne aud grade,
and still the ball could go tafougn,
and Mr. Hatton is now testing the
line and grade of all ahe sewers.
This is done by means of rejecting
the sunlight, by powerful glasses
specially made for the purpose, from
manhoie 10 manmole while Mr. Hat
ton goes into each manhole and ex-
amines the grade and line by means
of q third glass. When these sew
eraI tests are completed the sewers
are certainly free of distractions OF
a permanent character. and are true
TO line and grade, which fulfiHs the
practical terms of the contract.
CITIZENS INVITED.
Mr.. Hatton desires TO invite any in
terested citizen TO witness his inVestf-
cations which ne will take pleasure
to explain. He will be working on
Tarragona street from DeSoto street
northward on Monday morning at 2
O'Clock and on the North Hill during
Monday, provided there is ample sun
light. He will be here for nearly two
weeks making this final investigation.

Tallahassee, Fla, May With
nearly half the session gone, the Flor
ida legislature faces calendars that
are none too thin and the problems
of disfranchisemsnt, a constitutional
convention, the Wales claim, a new
primary system, the franchise tax and
the revision law stare the legisla-
tire fun in the face.
1t would look like an almost hope
less task to attempt TO get half way
started even before the session ends
if it wasn't for the fact that the MEM
berS Of both houses have proven them
selves hard workers and that they
are holding themselves down to long,
fatiguing sessions.
The eyes of the entire South will
be turned towards the legislature OF
Florida for the next week or so 10 see
if the question of openly defying the
Fifteenth amendment to the cOnsti-
tuition Of the United States is really
settled by that body in The affirma-
tive. If the state of Florida adopts
the Beard Acknowledgement measure
il will be Il step that will be of greater
Importance TO every state in the South
than any action that has been taken
in that direction since the end of re-
construction days. Times without
humber thB Fourteenth amendment
has been tested and has stood, but not
once has the validity OF the suffrage
amendment been questioned before the
supreme court at Washington
DIED I'M HOUSE THEN.
Two years ago Senator Beard won
the passage of his measure through
the state senate. But it died an ig-
nOminous death in the lower house.
This week the upper house once again
passed the measure. but by just barely
the necessary three-fifths vote The
matter is now one of tie most dis
cussed about the state capitol and it is
possible and even probable that the
house will also pass il. 1t is certain
that there is q much stronger sentf-
ment in that body in fCs favor than
at the last session.
The senate at the last session had
the maSteTful address of Senator
Beard in behalf Of the measure spread
upon the journal. So impressed We're
the members this year. however, that
IN addition TO that d thousand copies
were ordered printed for general dis
tributiOn.
If the measure is passed by both
houses il goes before the people at
the general elections in 1910, for it is
in the form of a constitutional amend
nient And il must receive three
cast. The Beard measure requires the
voter 10 be a white male over twenty
one years of age 10 vote.
There is a similar measure before
the house by Richbourg of Walton,
except that il is a novelty in the fact
that if allows either white males or
females to be eligible, thus giving WON
ans suffrage. This will probably die
in the committee, however, and it is
hardly probable was intended very
seriously by its author.
CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION.
Florida has grown a hundred fold
since she constitutional convention OF
1857 when the state constitution re-
ceived its last revision and since then
the document has been hOpelessly
DIastcred up VITA amendments. There
i cooperative need that a cOnstiIu-
tiOnal convention should De called. But
il is really doubtful if the present
legislature does more than just start
