COL. ROOSkVELTS
 BIG GAME BAG
Rhinoceroses Number IS, in cluding Three White Ones.
Party May Not Reach Khar-
 toum Before March 6.

CBy Staff Cores. of the United Press.)
 Gondokoro, soudan, Feb. 1s-With the departure today of Colonel Roose- velt, Kermit Roosevelt and others of the hunting party down the Nile in the launch of General Wingate, Sirdar of the Egyptian army, the African hunting expedition may be said to have ended.
 There will be several little side-hunts on the way down the Nile to Khar- toum, but it is not expected that the party. will bag any game of conse- quence.
 It is possible, therefore, to give the result of the expedition as regards the game killed by the Colonel and Ker-
 init, which aside from the birds and reptiles taken by the naturalists of the party, includes practically all of the game killed.
 Colonel Roosevelt has the following bag to his credit: rhinoceroses, includ- ing the three white specimens killed in the Lake. Albert Nyanza country; IS: elephants, g; lions. '; giraffes, 10; wild beasts, 4; Thompson's Gazelle, 1; hippopotami, 4; bufaloes, 8; topi. 5; elands 4; pithons, ostrich, leopard. zebra, oryx, bushbuck, oribi, and kobe, one each.
 Y Kermit Roosevelt has killed the fol- lowing: lions, Il; elephants 2; rhinoc- eroses, 3; bongos, 2; sabre 3; buffaloes, 4; giraffes 8; hippopotamus |; cheetahs, g.; tcpi 3; wild ebeests, eland, leopard, one each. ..
 These are only the more important items of game killed and most of the animals included in the summary have either been sent to America or are on their way there for exhibition in the Smithsonian Institute, the New York Museum of Natural History and sev- eral other museums that will be re- membered by the Colonel.
 Just when the party arrives at Khar- toum depends on Rooseve1t's pleasure. The trip can be made in two weeks but should Roosevelt decide to prolong his excursion into the Nile country, the party may not arrive at Khartoum until March 6.

IN THE THEATRES
POLI'S

Polis theater tonight will be the scene of the most unique contests i'll the annals of sportdom when Peter, the man monkey whose act has been the sensation of the town for the week, will skate a match race cn rollers with Dick Barrett, the local champion of the rinks. Those wno have seen Peters act this week will realize that he is the equal of any amateur skater hereabouts but in the act he IS not required to extend him. self rather does he consider it play. Tonight he understands it must be all business and he will make Bar rett skate as he has never skated be
 fore. The contestants met yesterday ir the Farmer office and signed artl- CleS and there will be no hitch in the arrangements although Barre tt seems a little inclined to kick on there being trap doors on the stage.
 Incidentally there remain but three chances to see Peter the wonderful man monkey tonight and twice Sat urday and the little ones will be out in force at the special Peter matinee Saturday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. McArdfe who own and teach Peter are authority for the statement that Peters Saturday performance is the best of the week for he seems to realize his little friends are on hand to see him and he certainly cuts up for their especial benefit.
 Next week will see the presentation of the most costly and the most en- tertaining bill yet booked for Polls and it will be headed by Jesse Las ky's $1O,000 production "At the Wal~ dorf" with Knute Erickson and a company of twenty-five people. Seats for the entire week are now on safe and attention is called to the special matinee aad evening performances on Washington'S Birthday when night prices of admission charged for the matinee as is the usual custom. All orders for seats will receive the best and most courteous attention whether by mail, telephone or in person.

NO ONE LIKES IT

If those who are responsible for the new adaptation of the Australian ballot as it figured in the recent Connecticut little town elections" had tried their hardest to produce form of ballot that would prove most confusing and illogi- cal that could have been adopted. they succeeded admirably in such effort, for of all the measly, detestible, Chinese puzzles that have yet appeared, this bal lot beats them to Roseveltian ''frazzle." 7" Apparently the new ballot was adopted for the purpose of stopping the use of the ''sticker" and thus reducing split tickets to the minimum, under the inn pression that with this complicated way of marking such, their number would be greatly reduced Never were so many voters disfranohised as this year by not understanding the proper marking of their ballot. If public sentiment has its way the new ballot, in it's present form will be short lived and have an early funeral.
