THRILLING EXPERIENCE

Y urday, Sept. 25.-Col. Roosevelt
~ accompanied by his son Kermit
Edmond Heller and r. ]. Cunninghame,
left for Nyeri in the early days of
August with the intention of getting a
bull, COW and calf elephant.
Although better elephants are OBJ
tainable in the Nile country of Uganda,
Col. Roosevelt wanted to get an ele-
phant in the Keia district, so that
Heller could have a better chance in
the cooler climate there of saving the
skin in good condition.
Major Mearns and Loring were to SO
to Nairobi and send off their bird and
then fill out their caravan for the eX-
peditiori to the snow line of Mount
Kenia (1S,200 feet). They made their
first camp at Kamiti ranch which be-
longs to Hugh H. Heatley. They were
then to march by easy stages over the
Ruiro river, the Ndorugu river, the
scene of a fruitles diamond rush in
1906, over the fine concrete bridges at
the Thika and Chania rivers, where
they would see the beautiful falls at
the junction of those two rivers, thence
past Punda Milia, which is the fine
farm of Messrs. Swift and Rutherford,
and to Fort Hall at Maragana.
Meanwhile Col Roosevelt was not
idle, and as already cabled he shot a
fine bull elephant, with tusks weighing
about eighty pounds each.

Extensive American Borrowings in

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The Bank of
England has commanded the attention
of the whole financial world in an un-
usual degree during the last week with
it's third successive advance in two
weeks of it's official discount rate. The
rate has been doubled in that period.
Ominous intimations come from the
English money center that additional

If necessary to avert further inroads
on London's banking resources.
Coming in a period of assurances of
the ample resources of the money mar
kets this action furnishes evidenceNof
a wide miscalculation of the situation.
AS to the elements in that miscalcula-
tion opinions differ, but there are GER
tain of the factors in the problem
which are clear. One of these is eX-
tensiVe American borrowings in the
London money market. Critics in Lon
don allege an unbridled speculation in
the New York stock market is pri-
narily responsible for the condition.
One of the principal elements in the
of the autumn money
market lies in the abnormal state of
the country's foreign trade. Not only
have its imports enormously increased
but exports have decreased.

CAPTURE
ALLEGED HOLDUP
MAN ROBBED OF S25 SAVES
THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS
PatroIman Forced to Use Revolver
Before He Was Able to Subdue
Fleeing Person-Robber
Not Identified

A man giving the name of Charles
Krause was arrested last evening ant
taken to police headquarters after hC
had given a policeman, a man who hat
been held up and the latter's friend d
long chase in the vicinity of Turner
street. The policeman Patrolman
Green, fired five shots at the supposed
highwayman, and when he caught up
to the fleeing man he was obliged to
subdue him with the butt of his re-
volver, and not till his scalp had been
torn open did the fugitive yield.
That the man who gives his name as
Charles Krause is an amateur in the
holdup game if he is the right person
was evidenced when he was taken to
police headquarters charged with
highway robbery and of relieving P.
Gianos of $25 near the home of John
Harkiss, All Turner street.
Krause was arrested after a long
chase, during which he had been shot
at five times by Patrolman Green at
the corner of Commercial and Vignes
streets, and after a desperate struggle
with the patrolman was subdued after
his scalp had been split open by a
blow from the revolver butt.
Although Krause is said to have OBJ
tained $25, which he is claimed to have
thrown away in his fight to escape
arrest, he overlooked the fact that his
victim had in his possession 1926.
HoIdup Man Carried Razor
According to the story told by
GianOsy he was walking along Turner
street when he was approached by a
man, who held a razor in his right
hand and demanded money. Gianos
explained he was without arms and
to obey the request for
money. In one pocket he had a purse
containing $3.50 in gold and loose in
another pocket was $45 in bills.
Gianos succeeded in abstracting a
few bills and finally handed $25 to the
stating that was all he
had. Apparently satisfied, the high
wayman proceeded on his way. but
Gianos awoke John Harkiss, a friend. !
and together they trailed the man
from block to block.
A few blocks from the holdup Har- |
kiss caught up with Krause. but the |
latter Is said to have welded a razor
and threatened death to any one who !
approached him. Not a bit daunted. /
Harkiss kept on the trail, despite the |
attempts of the highwayman to dodge
him, until he caught sight of Patrol
nan Green.
Every time Krause afforded a good
.arget Patrolman Green shot, but did
not hit the man. The sound of the
shooting attracted the attention of a
,rowd and soon Krause was cornered
near Vignes and Commercial streets.
When arrested the highwavman put
Up stubborn fight, but not until he
