BOOST WHEELING
BOARD OF TRADE
MEETING OF THE MEMBERSHIP
TO DISCUSS PLANS
For Vigorous Campaign in Near
Future-Mr. Trsfx, Of Chicago,
to Speak.

Greater strength, numerically and
financially. for the Board OF Trade.
is the watchword OF the new admins
tration which has taken hold of the
organization with the new year.
To that end. n meeting OF the mem
day evening. March 4. at which plans
for an intensive campaign for men,
berships will be announced.
The meeting will be preceded by a
dinner, which will be served at 6
o'clock. and TO which every present
member OF the organization will be
invited. Owing TO the limits of what
ever dining room may be selected,
however. the actual attendance will
have to be limited to 300.
The question OF a larger member
ship and greater working fund for
the Board OF Trade has been under
discussion for months. and IL reached
d climax at the annual dinner last
week. With an attendance rare In the
, history OF an organization. and other
evidences OF interest, IL was made
clear to the officers and directors that
the value of the Board OF Trade to
| the community is held In greater APP
probation today than ever before.
IL was therefore agreed to begin ct
once n campaign for an even greater
appreciation and a more thoroughly
representative membership. II Is be-
coming more and more apparent
among the thinking people OF every
community that concerted effort is
necessary for continued growth and
prosperity.
II II an accepted fact that the people
OF I. town write the destiny OF that
town, and that they write Il through
central development organization
| like the Wheeling Board OF Trade. IL
Is also a well known fact that money
alone will not make Board of Trade
properly efficient A membership
made up OF representatives OF every
business. profession and trade gives
TO the organization a standing and an
influence that money alone cannot
give.

THE JUNGLE KING
SLAIN BY BRITISH
The American Outlaw, Who Ruled
Natives for Years, Killed
In Africa.

London, Aug. 20.-Hunted down by
British soldiers in the depths of the
jungles of Central Africa, where for
years, In defiance Of all authority, he
had pursued the career OF an elephant
poacher and Illicit ivory trader, James
Ward Rogers. an American is dead.
He was shot down by a little force
of troops. which had been sent into
the wilderness in pursuit with orders
not to return without the outlaw,
dead or alive
News OF Rogers death came formal
ly late Yesterday to the British colo
NAL office from Capt c. V. Fox, in
spector Of Mongalle province, who
commanded the expedition. Although
told in an official report. the story re-
vealed is one of the most dramatic in
colonial annals.
For years Rogers had carried on his
lawless trade, which popular opinion
credited with netting him a fortune.
The remote regions among the Lado
Enclave and kongo boundaries were
the scene Of his operations. Time ar
ter time British officials of Sudan had
tried in vain to trap him. 1t was this
defiance of years which determined
the government to crush the old man
Capt. Fox's report shows that in his
long operations, Rogers had done
more than had been dreamed of by
the colonial officers. He had establish
ed an organized administration over
the wild traCkless country, and among
the natives was a virtual, if uncroWn-
ed king.
The success of the outlaw in hand
ling his Subjects and in the pursuit
Of his trade. drew from Capt. Fox, in
his report, the tribute that Rogers
work was worthy of better cause.
Not since the explorer. Henry NJ.
Stanley, pierced the jungles in 1871,
and found DR. Livingstone, had such
tale of hardships, trials, and dan
gers come out of Africa. Capt. FoX's
report, in this respect, resembles most
nearly, perhaps the tale of Gen. Funs-
tons doeged pursuit Of Aguinaldo, in
the Philippines.
For the purpose of tracking the out
law the English commander was given
a non-commlssioned subordinate and
six Sudanese soldiers. Body carriers
and mules for the transportation of
supplies were part of his equipment.
His instructions were plain-not to
return until the outlaw was captured.
With a soldiers disregard for red
tape, Capt Fox, in his report fails to
mention dates in describing the man
hunt. Apparently the denouement of
the jungle drama came three months
ago
The pursuers then had spent weeks
plunging through the jungle that al
most defied passage, Rogers cunning
ly leading them through the densest
of swamps. forests. and across the
streams. Before the outlaw was over
taken. he had crossed the Nile into
the Belgian KongO
Creeping up the Uganda bank of
the Nile, the expedition pushed for
ward for six weeks before the quarry
was located Fox and his men had
then worn their clothes to tatters and
their supplies were exhausted leaving
them facing starvation in the wilder
ness.
The last twelve hours of the pur-
suit were particularly trying. The
chase led over mountain, with Rog-
arct man oply q short dictauro in u H.
