WONT SAY a WORD.
Colonel Roosevelt Refuses Absolutely
to Talk Politics.


to Talk Politics.
Aboard the Steamer Pasha. Upper
White Nile. March 1--we have
nothing to say and will have nothing
to say on American or foreign ques-
tions or any phase or incident thereof.
ST will give no interview. and any
thing purporting to be in the nature
of an interview with me can be ac-
cepted as false as soon as it appears.
This applies to our entire stay in
Europe"
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, who is re-
turning from years hunt in Africa,
appearing hardy and strong, made the
foregoing statement to a newspaper
correspondent who met the ex-presi-
dent on the edge of the jungle
The colonel and his party were pas
sengers on the Sudan government
steamer Dali which presented a pic
stern wheel and towing a barge filled
with rare faunal specimens shot and
collected since the last shipment to
Washington. Mr.. Roosevelt was alb
solutely silent on public questions,
making only the foregoing statement
for publication.
The refusal to discuss politics ends
the hopes of those who have been
making desperate efforts to force Col
onel Roosevelt to indorse the tariff pol
icies of the Taft administration. The
colonels friends here hold that he is
a private citizen and not justified in
making any political comments at this
time. more especially as he necessar-
lily is ignorant of many important facts
regarding conditions which have de-
veloped in America since his departure
from civilization.
The Hunt Has Ended
The guns of the expedition no long
er are of use. as the hunt officially
ended with the killing at Lado Ems
clave of a leopard, cheetah. water
buck and various kinds of antelope.
With the addition of these animals, the
collection of fauna is regarded as COM
plete as possible. Mr.. Roosevelt con-
siders that the expedition has been a

to his hunt which has been success
full beyond all expectations.
Henceforth the ex-President will be
the guest of honor at a series of bril-
liant and enthusiastic receptions. The
first OF the receptions was held at the
jungle station of the American mis-
sion at Sobat where Colonel Roosevelt
d1ned on his way here. Before his
departure from Sobat he spoke of
the manner in which the medical mis-
sionary work at the various stations
had impressed him.

Roosevelt insisted that DIR. Means take
the case in hand and when the doctor
decided that an operation was neces-
sary. the former president volunteered
to assist. This was not necessary,
however, but the colonel nevertheless
stood by and watched the surgeon
work.
Native Signal Men.
Nothing has pleased the ex-presi-
dent more than the native guards of
honor that turned out at every con-
ceivable place to greet his coming. At
one of the stations in Uganda a native
contingent with two bands. one fife
and drum. the other composed of

luncheon and drew up for review.
Each Of the bands was conducted by
a mission father and to the distin-
guished Americans surprise and de-
light they enthusiastically rendered
the American national anthem with
only false note here and there.
The manner in which the training OF
the natives is carried out interested
Colonel Roosevelt greatly. Among
other curious things he saw uneducat-
ed natives taking and sending mes
sages by Morse code and by soma
phore with flags. by lamp and hello
graph. Although these signal men do
not know what the messages mean, yet
they never make mistake in sending
or receiving. Their method of check
ing is by counting the letters in a
group. The natives display a curious
instinct in following their instructions
to the letter.

Former Dresden Man Meets Death Un-

Bath. Me, July 3l.-News has just

Captain Albert w. Averill, which re-
Gently occurred in New Orleans under
very peculiar circumstances
He was born in Dresden and his
early days We're passed along the Ken
nebcc but many years ago went South
and at the time of his death was in
command of the Southern Pacific
transfer boat Carrier. While the craft
was in midstream Louis Johnson, a

part of the boat but suddenly felt a
shock as if the boat had struck some

house to find what was wrong and
found Captain Averill lying on the
floor dead. his hand still grasping the
W heel. The distress signal was blown
and 4 tug was soon alongside ana
docked the big carbOat without further
mishap The medical examiner gave
hemc crrhages of the brain as the cause
of death. 1t is believed that the exces-
sively hot weather had something to
do with his condition.
Captain Averill was born in Dres-

THE LEGAL PROCEDURE
May Be Deportation or Extradt'on-
Speedy Trial Anyway.

London. July 31.-Scotland Yard Of
ficials tonight did not have any exact
information as to whether Crippen
would be deoorted or extradited, but
they anticipated deportation. in which
case, it was stated, Crippen would be
placed on trial within three weeks
SO that there might be no delay. the
officials made arrangements today for
the prompt dispatch to Quebec of Ser
geant Mitchell. should it be necessary.
The Crippen case is looked upon by
the police here AS one of the most
dramatic they have ever dealt with.
Certainly 1t is many years since the
public mind was so stirred by crime.
Ethel lie Neve's relatives tonight are
relieved that their long suspense is
ended. They have been apprehnsive OF
some rntoward fate. and are convinced
now that the woman can prove her in
nocence Her mother said in an inter
view that she was certain Crippen had
hypnotized her daughter; otherwise she
would never have donned boys clothes
Her father equally believes that she
was the dupe Of Crippen.
1t is suggested here that Crippen
NAV claim American citizenship as a
means of delaying the course of justice
Mrs. LIE Neve made pathetic plea to
her daughter today. imploring her to
tell the police everything and not to
allow her affection for Crippen to stand
in the way of her duty to herself and
her father. The cable concludes "Be
brave. little girl and have no fear. we
are confident of your innocence"

DR.. Crippen was born at Coldwater
Mich. about so years ago. his father
NJ A. Crippen. being still alive In Los
Angeles. He. was educated in INDIAN
and at Los Angeles and completed hb
medical studies in Michigan. Cleveland
and New York City.
As an eye and ear specialist he prac-
ticed in New York. Salt Lake City.
Detroit. San Diego, st. Louis and
Brooklyn. From 1895 to 1899 he WA
connected with a patent medicine bhsi-
ness at Philadelphia and at another
time in Toronto. He went to Londo
about 1901 and had since had several
Offices there.
His first wife was Charlotte Jane
Bell, a nurse, whom he married in New
York in 1885. From there they went to
Salt Lake City and in the latter place
she died, Jan. "a, 1892. The present
case has incidentally brought suspicion
as to the manner Of her death, and II
is probable that an official investiga-
ton may be made of it.
While employed in Philadelphia.
Crippen met his second wife. the
vaudeville performer. Belle Elmore,
and married her in 1896. She was Of
Polish birth. originally Cora Pelle
Makomaski, and had come to America
with her stepfather. NJ. F. Marsinger,
now a citizen Of East Williamsburg,
n. Y.
Dr. Crippen's practice was at all
times sufficiently lucrative. and friends
of the two in this country and in Lon
don considered that their life was .
happy one.
The wife's jealousy. however was
aroused by Crippen's relations with his
Stenographer, Miss LIE Neve. and last
January her discharge was known to
have been subject of much dispute
between them. II,
