Nalrobl, British East Africa,
April 26.-Roosevelt left kapiti
plains yesterday and went to the
ranch of Sir Alfred Pease, on the
Athi river. Lions are reported to
be numerous on McMillan's Ju ia
ranch and there is herd Of $50
buffaloes on Heatley's ranch
where Roosevelt will hunt. Pros
poets Of sport on the plains are ex-
ceptionaIly good. There, have been
no cases of smallpox In the Roose-
Welt caravan.
Nairobi, British East Africa, April
26.-After a brief hunting expedition
Saturday evening at Kapiti plains, In
which the distinguished hunter shot a
wildebeest as his first trophy, ex-
President Roosevelt and his party
broke camp and started for the ranch
of Sir Alfred Pease, on the Athi river,
Sunday.
Col. Roosevelt spent part Of Satur-
day afternoon sorting his kit, while
Kermit and several of the men went
to try their luck with the rifles. An
old settler, who seemed to take
liking to Kermit, offered to show him a
likely place for good sport. They sue
ceeded in bringing down one buck.
Enjoys the First Hunt.
Col. Roosevelt's first hunt was favor
ed by fine weather, and he enjoyed the
experience Immensely. He bagged
two wildebeests and a Thompson's ga
zelle. In one respect Mr.. Roosevelt
was disappointed, as he had been
anxious to secure Grants gayelle,
whose massive horns are much sought
after for trophies. The hunt lasted
several hours and all the members OF
the party were we'll tired out when
they returned to camp.
Smallpox is prevalent at. Nairobi
and two cases have developed among
the porters at Kapiti. These have
been quarantined and the strictest pre-,
cautions are being observed to prevent
q spread of the disease among those
attached to the Roosevelt party The
danger of this is now considered
slight.

KIDNAPPED new
YORK Girl. IS
FOUNDON TRAIN
DAUGHTER OF MILLIONAIRE is
RESTORED TO HER PARENT
AFTER MYSTERIOUS CLUE
OVER TELEPHONE.

New York, April 26-Miss Adele
Boas, the missing daughter of Ar
thur e. Boas of this city was
found on board train arriving
from New England this after
noon and was taken to the home
of her father in this city.
New York, April 26.-Through a
telephone conversation which Inspec-
tor of electives McCafferty held with
a woman who gave her name as Mrs.
Upton of Charlestown, Mass, today
clue was discovered that it is hoped
will result in the recovery by her par
ents of Adele Boas, the 13-year-old
daughter of Arthur e. Boas, a wealthy
silk manufacturer, who disappeared
Friday last. Following the telephone
conversation the Boston police We're
notified to be on the lookout for a
girl answering the description of Adele
Boas. Boas declared today his belief
that the child was kidnapped and the
kidnapers were simply holding off for
an increase in the reward or ransom
money
The girl vanished between Eighty
first street and Columbus avenue and
her home, eight blocks away. Every
foot of the ground has been covered
by detectives following the theory OF
the. father. The conclusion that the
girl was spirited away and is probably
being held for ransom was not reached
until late yesterday.
@Mr. Boas is considered millionaire,
He is head of the Boas Thread com.

FARMS RISE TO TASK
OF FEEDING COUNTRY
Fewer Imports of FOodstuffs
From Island Possessions

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-In spite Of
the declaration that the production of
foodstuffs is not keeping pace with the
growth of population the department
of agriculture has issued a statement
showing that the United States is more
than holding its own in the task OF
feeding its people.
The bureau Of statistics is authority
for the declaration that during the fis-
cal year the imports of farm products
into the United States were valued at
$40. .000,0 900. which was s14,00O.O00 less
than in 1906 and $S7 100000 less than in
1907.
That the American farmer is awaken
ing to the necessity for close and more
extensive cultivation of his land is evi-
denced by the fact that during seven
years prior to 1900 more than One-half
of the total imports into the country
consisted of farm products. In nine
years since 1900 much less than one
half of the imports have been products
of the farm
A peculiar feature Of the report is
the fact that with the exception OF
sugar. of which the expectation from
Hawaii increased $12.00O,O0O and from
Porto Rico $4.0OO.0OO. there was no in
crease in agricultural products from
any of the dependencies of the country
In fact, there has been a decrease in
the materials brought here from the
ma tion's insular possessions.

ment of his company at Santa Cruz

that he boarded train for San Fran
cisco. He has not been seen or heard
from since that time.
Various theories as to the disappear

mother, Mrs. NJ. L. McCulloch, is of the
opinion that he ran away to join the
army and that man named Cossey, a
retired Spanish war veteran, who was
in charge of the bowling alley at the
militia enca mpment, may know some
thing of his disappearance. A letter
was sent to Cossey, who was supposed
to be living at 10 Steiner street, San
Francisco, but was shortly returned.
other efforts to find Cossey have also
failed The boy, however, made a
promise to the militia corps in Palo
Alto that he would not seek the army
until of age.
Although but in his second year in

begged his mother to keep him out of

ways happy in his home life. He had
planned to complete his education IN
Palo Alto and then attend Stanford,
after which his people We're to use
their influence in securing him an ap-
pointment in the army or to West

ALL STEEL COACHES IN
TEST ARE SATISFACTORY
St. Paul Road Officials Adopt
New Equipment

CHICAGO. Oct. 30.-President A. J..
Earling and party of Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul officials. have just
completed a novel test and demon
strated the "easy riding qualities of
the all steel passenger car: Coaches
built entirely of steel except for the
interior finish are rapidly supplanting
the old wooden ones for high class
passenger service and have been bought
in large numbers by roads attracted by
their fire proof and practically inde-
structible nature.
In order to settle many questions re-
garding the kind of service all steel
Pullman cars would give, Earring made
a "a hour run with a special train in
which were four new cars of this type.
The result of this trip. it is. said. was
eminently satisfactory and has caused
the st. Paul road to decide to use moth
ing but all steel cars in the future
