"uNcRowNED KING OF JUNGLE '
James Ward Rogers, American, Was
Killed After Much Effort.

l. London, Aug. 20.-Hunted down BY
British soldiers in the depths of the jun
giles of Central Africa, where for years
in defiance Of all authority he had pur,
sued the career OF an elephant poaeh
er and illicit ivory trader, James Ward
Rogers an American, is dead. He was
shot down by little force OF troops
which had been sent into the wilder
ness in pursuit with orders not to re.
turn without the outlaw dead or alive.
News of Rogers death came formally
yesterday to the British colonial office
from Capt G. v. Fox, inspector of Mon
gala province, who commanded the OK
pedition As told in an official report,
the story revealed 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 fortune.
The remote regions along the Lado En-
clave and Congo boundaries were the
scenes of his operations. Time after
time British officials of the Soudan had
tried in vain to trap him. 1t was this
defiance of years which determined the
government to crush the old man.
Captain Fox report shows that in lis
long operations, Rogers had done more
than had been dreamed Of by the col
onial office. He had established an or
ganized administration over the wild.
trackless country and among the ma
tives was virtual, if uncrowned king.
The success of the outlaw in handling
his Subject" and in the pursuit of his
trade drew from Captain Fox, in his re-
port, the tribute that Rogers work was
worthy of better cause.
Not since the explorer Henry NJ. Stan
ley pierced the jungles in 1871 and found
DR.. Livingstone, has such a tale of hard
ships, trials and dangers come out OF
Africa. Capt. Fox report, in this re-
spect, resembles most nearly perhaps the
tale of General Funston's dogged pur-
suit Of Aguinaldo in the Philippines.
For the purpose of tracking the out
law the English commander was given
a noncommissioned subordinate and six
Soudanese soldiers. Body carriers and
mules for the transportation of sup
plies were part of his equipment. His
instructions were plain. not to return
until the outlaw was captured.
With soldiers disregard for red tape,
Captain Fox, in his report, fails to men
tion dates in rescribing the man hunt

gle drama came three months ago.

PRETTY EVENING FROCKS
FOR INFORMAL AFFAIRS

Quaint little pepIum bodices of EN-
bToidered chiffon or net over plain
straight satin skirts make pretty even
ing frocks OF an informal sort, and
some OF these have odd touches OF trim
ming which give them distinction. One
such model, in a delicious shade of pink,
bad its peplum bodice of white chiffon
laid over pink chiffon and embroidered
all over in sprig design in pink crystal
II was further embroidered around the
demi-decollete neck and sleeves in coarse
white wool and heavy pink silk
In One-pieCe frOcks for afternoon
wear, there are innumerable pretty
things both in silk and cloth. Though
velvet plays a very conspicuous role in
this connection. For wear under a fur
coat the velvet frOck, unless its bodice
is almost entirely of sheer material, is
too warm, but 1t is ideal for wear with
the little fur pOlerines and capes and
scarfs which the Parisians are fond Of.
Under the long fur coats which are
so great = craze this winter the frock
Of charmeuse, meteor. taneta, or other
lightweight silk, is the comfortable and
practical thing for dressy wear, with the
useful fine serge one-piece frock for
rougher morning wear.

REVIVAL OF QUAINT
QUEEN ANNE APRONS

This season has seen many old modes
revived, and perhaps one Of the quaint
est, and daintiest, is the tiny apron.
reminiscent OF that worn In good Queen
Anne's day. It is worn with pretty
indoor froeks or teagowns. and Is some
times made OF the finest hand-embroid-
cred muslin, edged with old lace. Oc.
casionally it Is composed of the softest
OF ninon, or crepe de chine, edged with
tiny ruches or silk fringe.
How charming an addition they prove
to a frock can be imagined. A gown
Of Puritan gray satin, with a wide silk
stripe in 1t, made simply, with slightly
fun skirt and a blouse-coatee, with wide
collar of ninon de sole Of the same
shade, recalling Charles II modes, had as
establishment an apron of gray silk chif-
fon, shaded delicately with mauve and
green.
To outline the aprons elegant shape
there was pinked-out ruche of the same
fabric and il also boasted a little gath
cred pocket, on which was posed a
bunchy knot Of narrow black velvet rib
bon. with uneven ends: in this was tucked
an exquisite little lace mouchoir. There
is ample scope for the girl who would
design her own apron.

F,re.h Air for the nabr.

Mothers must be very careful in dis
tlnguishing between good and bad days
for their babies to be out. The general
principle is, Of course, to give the baby
an airing every day. because fresh air
Is as necessary TO a child's health as good
food Is. But authorities agree that on
certain kinds Of days It Is far better for
baby to stay indoors.
The point to beware Of is dampness: not
the temperature, but the quality OF the
air. A cold day Is splendid for children

TOURISTS HATS IN
MANY NOVEL SHAPES

The Southern tourist must have ele-
CANT hats. as well as strictly tailored
ones, for touring. The tailored hats
are medium and large, and, it must be
admitted, are not trimmed TO any ex-
tent. The fancy feather effects used are
rather small and severe looking, al
though a number OF sweeping pheasant
tails are used on white Milan and other
straws. Brush effects. particularly in
white. with pasted feathers at their base.
are well liked. as are also small wings on
the Mercury lines and used in pairs and
other tight effects. These are mounted
at front, back or side and tight to the
crown. with an upward instead OF an out
ward line.
There are charming handmade toques
in dark and bright colorings. some IN the
new raisin braid. which is attractive in
combinations of color, the radium COM
binations being the favorites.
The derby shapes, which were intro
duced this season, are being relied on to
carry the day for spring. These in burnt
or white straw, or in cOlors, are banded
and trimmed either directly or IN the
front by a fan-like arrangement Of pleat-
ed ribbon, or a stubby fancy, or at the
side.

The Home Laundry.

The most notable advanceNin laundry
devices is in the washing machines. The
electric washing machines have power
a-plenty both for washing clothes and
turning the wringer all at one time. The
leading electric is built with a fat lid,
free from exposed gears or cog-wheels,
that may injure the laundress or the
children's fingers. After the first batch
of clothes is cleaned, the lid is raised,
and the clothes run through the power
wringer into the rinsing wafer. a fresh
bath OF clothes is placed in the washer,
the lid closed, and the machine started
The first lot Of clothes is then run back
through the wringer on top of the ma
chine, removed by the clothes basket,
and hung out to dry. By the time the
clothes are hung the second batch is
ready. With this machine a large days
washing can be hung out TO dry before
o'clock in the morning, and much or
all Of the ironing done By the end Of the
day.
