British Soldiers Pursue J. W.
Rogers, Elephant Poacher.
Through Soudan and Into
the Belgian Congo.
TRACKED MAN WAS Willy
Led a Trail Through Swamps
and Over Mountains, but
Bullet Finally Lays Him
Iowa Dramatic
Finale.

London. Aug. 19,- 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 vas shot down by 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's death came for
mally to-day to the British Colonial
Office from Captain C. V. Fox. inspec-
tor Of Mongolia Province. who COM
manded the expedition. Although 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 10 crush the old man.
Captain FoX's report shows that in
his long operations Rogers had done
more than had been dreamed OF 10y
the Colonial Once. He had established
an organized administration over the
wild. trackless country. and among tia
natives was virtual IL uncrowneI

British Officers Tribute.

The success Of the outlaw in handling
his subjects" and in the pursuit of his
trade drew from Captain Fox. in his
report. the tribute that Rogerss work
was worthy OF better cause.
Not since the explorer. Henry NJ.
Stanley. pierced the jungles In 1871
and found DR.. Livingstone has such
tale Of hardshps, trials and dangers
come out Of Africa. Captain Foxs re-
port in this respect, resembles most
nearly perhaps the tale OF General
Funston's dogged pursuit Of AguinaldO
in the Philippines.
For the purpose OF tracking the out
law the English commander was given
a non commissioned subordinate and
six Soudanese soldiers. Body carriers
and mules for the transportation OF
supplies were part Of his equipment.
His instructions were simple-not 10
return until the outlaw was captured
With a soldiers disregard for red
tape, Captain Fox in his report fails
10 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 jungle that almost
defied passage, Rogers cunningly lead
ing them through the densest OF
swamps and forests and across deep
streams. Before the outlaw was over
taken he had crossed the Nile into the
Belgian Congo.
Creeping up the Uganda bank OF the
Nile the expedition pushed forward for
six weeks before the quarry was To-
Gated. Fox and his men then had
worn their clothes 20 tatters and their
supplies were exhausted. leaving them
facing starvation in the wilderness.
Natives Taunt Pursuers.
The last twelve hours Of the pursuit
was particularly trying. The chase
led over a mountain, with Rogers's
men only a short distance in advance.
As they fed the apelike natives Of the
outlaw sent back taunts and Jeers at
their pursuers.
Dramatic in the extreme Is Captain
Fox's description Of the death Of Eog-
ers. In the jungle into which they had
doscended from the mountain his party
came suddenly upon camp. ma
tive approached the English officer and
said:
"rhe commander wants you to come
IN He is sick and cannot come out"
Entering the hut Captain Fox found
himself in a room dimly lighted by
candle. A white man was lying on
couch and beside him sat a compan-
ion also white. For a time there was
dead silence, Captain Fox believing
no had been led into a trap. Then he
asked
(Which is Mr. Rogers
"Mr Rogers has been shot replied
the outlaws companion.
"yes." interrupted Rogers, "and by
your men,"
Come. stand right here, so I can
look at YOU" Rogers continued. His
ewes were blazing, and from beneath
blanket ne drew q revolver and pointed
II at the officer.
I'm dying man, I guess he said.
"J didn't think they could kill Old
Rogers, but they got him this time
still. YOU are in Belgian territory,
and YOU stand more chance for arrest
than do

aced him might be discharged at any

uh,ch late to-day referred his message
rrr,nr the adoption of a resolution TO

oceanic Canals. There is not quorum

20, and therefore, as was known TO
tbe House leaders. no action can pe
,.ten al the present session OF Con-
gress.
The President in his message to both
houses Of Congress to-day reiterated
h,s belief that the remission OF Tolls
"a American vessels engaged in the
.oos+u.ise trade was not violation OF
tho treaty and laid stress upon the
,rportance of giving evidence OF good
faith in the observance OF treaty ooll-
cations. He said:
a" think the importance Of our stand
ina before the world as anxious to give
"a IN. world an opportunity to test this
question in the courts is an earnest OF
our oood faith in attempting to keep
within our treaty obligations
Clash Of Opinion in Senate.
Tho Senate received the message with
some uncertainty. Among the Demo-
ocrats there was disposition by some
10 regard It as a threat to veto the
canal bill il the resolution suggested
we're not adopted. Others thought 1t
would be undignified for the Legisla-
ture expressly TO place upon It's acts
the restriction that they should be sub
ject to the provisions Of treaty. There
were Senator's. however. who looked
upon the suggestion as reasonable
one, and II is not improbable that the
Senate will act upon the suggestion
snator Brandegee hastily called q

The House took an adroit method or
wsding the question presented by the
Residents message. Representative
Idamson said he had warned Repre-
ssntative Underwood and other leaders
that there was not q quorum OF his
committee In the capital, and that to
refer the question TO IT would prevent
the RAISING OF a resolution before the
adjournment of Congress Despite the
warning. the leaders of the House
moved the reference of the question to
the committee, and by this means, II
is asserted, have put an end to further
consideration Of the proposal TO qualify
the provisions Of the canal bill.
Veto Not Expected.
The President, after comforting with
members Of the Senate and House dur
ing the day, called a special meeting Of
the Cabinet this afternoon, and then
sent to Congress the message in which
he expressed the opinion that the good
faith OF the United States in the OBJ
servance of its treaty obligations re-
Quired that some measure be passed TO
give to the United States courts the
suthority to review the question of the

SOMETHING NEW.

An elefapt room with bath at 81 so and
$500 per day, or an ELEGANT room with
private toilet and lavatory at Sl.S0 per
day has been the new feature installed in
The Albany Hotel, Denver which will fill
long felt want.
A room with bath in hotel these days
has becomes necessity and not luxury,
and the MANAGERS Of The Albany re.
alizine this, have been ambitious to satisfy
the travelinS public.
These rooms, while being rated at very
reasonable price, have not been neglected
in any way in the furnishings and equip.
ment, nearly all beinf finished in Lonis
XIV style Of. furniture and finished in
the light enamel color. This character Of
furnishings is what has made the newer
hotels in New York so popular within the
last few months, and The Albany will be
the only hotel west of New York to be
equipped with furnishings of this character.
Do not keep your politeness to
put on with your good clothes,
because if you do, you will surely
plainly show that it is not natur-
al. Cultivate politeness, not only
for what outsiders will say, but
because it is the right thing to
do. one OF your many talents to
make good use of, and anything
that improves, always increases
our self-respect as we'll as the
good opinion of the world.
