NEW YORK, March 2S-''They're on"
With the odds against his safe return,
Theo. Roosevelt, only living ex-president
of the United States, today began the
first stage of his journey. which, before
IL is ended, will carry him through the
jungles OF Africa, in search of the
earth's largest and firecest game.
With the sailing OF the German steamer
Hamburg for Naples today, Roosevelt, 10
years a central figure in American poll
tics, started on what he calls his vaca-
ton. The trip wouldn't be called a vaca-
ton by those who know the country
where he is going. But the former presi-
dent is as buoyant and happy as a boy
today. Certainly the experience will OFFER
opportunity for a free exercise of his
strenuous nature.
The ex-president's hunting trip is one
OF the most spectacular events in the ca.
reer OF a man whose life has seen many
startling events, a man who has seeped
himself from boyhood in strong, unusual
blOod-stirring sensations.
That a man who has been sitting in
GU@nA0uEa AN8ASA0AAhG AAb-
lomatic and executive conduct for a ma
ton should throw OF the protection
which civilization and high station afford
and throw himself into the heart of the
dark continent is as startling as it is
typical Of the man.
He will meet the rhinocerOs, the most
fierce and dangerous animal in exist
ence.
In the African lion, which, when arous-
ed. will fight till shot TO pieces. he will
encounter foe beside which hostile news
papers and warning senators will be as
nothing.
The ex-presldent can invoke no libel
suits nor claim any privileges against the
elephant. which sweeps all before it. or
the tropical snake. which poisons by its
very breath. No official act can serve
him as defense against the deadly Afri-
can fever. which kills 50 per cent of the
white population, the disease which car
ried on Livingstone, the explorer.
II will be the man Roosevelt, not the
president. who must meet the dangers OF
darkest Africa His own good health,

TO BEGIN
WORK ON STATION

The erection of it's $500, 900 freight sta
ton, which will front ZOO feet on Madison
avenue between Mitchell and Peters
streets, win be started Immediately by
the Southern railway, according to an an
nonucement made on Wednesday by AS
sistant to the President j. S. B. Thomp-
son.
He also announces that the road has
completed the purchase of 1900 feet on
Peters street, at a cost of $45O,O extend
ing 200 feet below Jeanette street, with
depth of 800 feet back to the tracks of
the Southern. This property will be clear
ed of buildings and laid with team tracks
for the loading and unloading of car
load shipments.
The plans for the station, which are
now being drawn in Washington, contem-
plate a structure three stories high It
will be almost opposite the Terminal sta
ton, and will be divided by the Nelson
street viaduct, which will pass through it.
1t Is also planned to have the building
far enough away from the street to per-
nit of the city widening it, It is pro-
posed to have all the offices of the road
in this building. The property on Peters
street was secured through Forrest and
George Adair, the real estate agents.
The plans for this development were
considered by oSuthern some time ago,
but the panic came on and interfered
with them and other developments. The
decision of the road to go ahead with
them now indicates faith in the return
of prosperity.
The plans are now being finished, and
the construction will be started at the ear
lest possible time.

TO PROTECT WITNESSES
WHO EXPOSE TIGERS

ct want to clearly demonstrate to the
near-beer dealers and whisky people that
we propose to protect all witnesses who
testify for the city in blind tiger cases
said Recorder Nash r. Broyles. in impos-
ing a fine of $1O0.75 upon o. G. Venable
for fighting Joe Green, a witness in a
blind tiger case in police court Friday
afternoon. IF a citizen is willing to
testify for the state against violators
OF the state prohibition l think it is up
to the city to give them protection and
this 1 propose to do"
Venable was charged by Officer Frey
with attacking Joe Green with a knife
at the corner of Marietta and Broad
streets Friday afternoon following the
trial of five blind tiger cases in police
court. Green was a witness in five cases
that were tried before and in each case
the defendant was given heavy fines as
the result of the testimony of Joe
Green. After leaving the station house
Green stated that he went up Decatur
street to the post Office and was followed
by Venable and his friend, who had been
fined.
Reaching the postoffice Green told the
recorder that Venable attacked him,
drawing a knife and threatening to cut
him. Then it was that Green complained
and had Venable arrested. Venable de-
MED attacking Green. He stated that he
only preferred charges against him for
vagrancy and asked officer Frey to arrest
him but this the officer refused to do.
Immediately after being fined Ven
able certioraried the case. He gave
bond in the sum of $500 and will not have
to pay the fine imposed by the court until
the court of appeals hears the case.

The okapi looks like a cross between a
zebra and giraffe. 1t has a grayish tan
skin; its front legs are longer than its
rear ones; il has long neck and three
stripes on each flank.
1t is one of the most rapidly moving
animals in the Jungles. 1t has no curios-
ity,- it's only desire, when hunters are
about, being to get away.
In the Roosevelt party as 1t sailed today
were the eX-president, his son Kermit,
who will be the official photographer of

CHAIR BY HIS WEIGHT

WASHINGTON, March 24.-President
Taft's three hundred and fifty pounds
OF brain, bone and flesh crashed through
his easy chair in his private office at
the white house today as he settled

callers.
Mr.. Taft sustained no injuries, saw
ing himself by catching firmly TO the
mahogany table in front OF him as the
chair began to crumble under his tre-
mendous weight.
The chair, a handsome rosewood piece.

back. 1t was used by Colonel Roosevelt

strenuousity without a show Of weak
ness.
Mr. Taft was too much for the piece,
however, and the big spring in the
back gave way today, causing the
chair to go to pieces.
