PERIL OF FEVER
Former Presidents Party May
Have Germs Of Sleeping
Sickness
so DECLARES NOTED
AFRICAN LION HUNTER

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. March Friends Of
Ex-President Roosevelt in Washington
are somewhat worried over a statement
made by Captain Fritz Duquesne.
noted African lion hunter, that "Bwana
Tumbo" and the other members Of his
party are very likely to be taken down
with the dread sleeping sickness, or the
African fever, when they get back to
civilization. The news cabled from
Africa that Or. Roderic Prosch. a mis-
sionary had been stricken with fever
and died within a few hours after
lunching with Colonel Roosevelt.
prompted Duquesne's prediction. Du-
quesne is generally recognized as an
authority on Africa. He is resident
of German East Africa. a Boer war
hero, and was originally selected by
Colonel Roosevelt TO head the African
expedition. Duquesne is in the United
States trying to interest wealthy men
in scheme to stock American reserves
with African game.
1.-THE Roosevelt expedition has been
IN more than score of zones of the
sleeping sickness" said Duquesne,
and it is highly probable that every
member OF the party has the virus in
his veins. It may not develop until
they reach Europe or even America.
1t is positively dangerous to allow Mr..
Roosevelt and his party TO return TO
this country without having a bacter-
iological examination of their blood
IF either the African fever or the
sleeping sickness should break out in
one OF the party after arriving In this
country it would spread everywhere. /
am forced to believe that the Roosevelt
party must be infected with either one
Of these mcladies.~ If il escapes IL
will be one example on record of an
African hunting party getting off scot
free. Mark my word-before the party
gets to Europe. either the African
fever or the sleeping sickness will
break out among them"
