PROF. STARR WARNS AGAIN,
says Ex-President Roosevelt Will
surely Die In jungle.

New York. March s3.-On the eve
OF ex-President Roosevelt's departure
for Africa. Prof. Frederick Starr, Of
the University OF Chicago. who Is at
present in this city, repeated the pre-
diction which he has made several
times before, that Mr.. Roosevelt would
not return alive from the Dark Con-
tinent. Professor Starr spent many
years IN Africa in anthropolosical
studies. and on one occasion made a
trip over a route very similar to that
which the ex-President has mapped
out. Professor Starr said last niGht:
For two reasons I expect Mr..
Roosevelt vii! not return from Africa
his age and his quick temper. No
man can expect to 70 into the Ian
gerous climates Of the African wilds
at 80 or more and come out alive.
The strange. unidentified fevers which
bound there are withstood with DIFF
hculty even by the youngest and stur-
diest blood. For a man of the ex-
Presidents e the attempt ia suicidal.
Then the matter OF temper. In the
tropics there is nothing more dan
gerous Than a quick temper such as
Mr.. Roosevelt has. Sudden outbreaks
OF temper. II Is we'll known. frequent
ly result fatally in these regions. The
natives have a way Of expressing II.
They say that man dies from going
into q rage.

welt would change his plans and AXE

Marx went to Germany and mailed
the letter there.
As soon as Steneck received II. he
recalled his former business dealings
with Marx and was prepared TO keep
him as a client. Marx got busy a few
days after his return to America and
on November 3 he carried sc4,250 away

and told him Of the recovery OF the

GREAT CROWD GATHERED.
Five minutes after the father had
entered his room fully 1900 people were
gathered in the Railways and Hobbies OF
the hotel. Those who were unable to get
into the hotel stood on the sidewalk and
shouted for a glimpse OF the boy. Again
and again they called his name and
implored his father to bring him out and
let them look at him.
whitla acquiesced to the request Of the
crowd and carrying the boy on his
! shoulder, walked down into the lobby.
Mounting a raised platform In the center
Of the lobby Whitla gave every one a
| chance to see both the father and the re-
covered son.
Cries Of speech Speech" caused
Whitla to say a few words. His Quavering
voice was too full Of JOY for him TO
make a connected speech but he poured

words that he uttered. With his right arm
around the boys neck n little Willie's
head nestled into the folds Of his fathers
coat the father said:
"Thi Is my son. He was lost and Is
found again. II I live a thousand years

BOY COULD NOT SPEAK.
When Whitla ceased speaking, there
were demands for q few words from TIE
boy. The lad for the FIRST time showed
signs Of fright. Upon being restored to
his feet he wrapped his arms around
his 'daddy's" legs and hid his face I'M
der the coat Whitla gently drew the
lads head from out Of the folds OF he
coat and told him to say something to
the cheering hundreds. The boy turned
HE face upward. But he could not speak.
The tears. bigger than raindrops. coursei
down his cheeks. Again the crow1
cheered and the boy was lifted from tho
platform by his father and returned to
his room.
Whftla refused to see any one In his
room until after he had personally
thanked the Mahoney and Ramsey boys
who brought Willie to the hotel. He
made each Of them a substantial gift.
