 As soon as Colonel Roosevelt left the witness stand he went to the museum to The colonel forgot everything connected with politics and for an hour saiked through the building, viewing his prizes of the hunt and talking of his experiences in Africa. He spent some time before glass case containing a rare species Of crane with a name which none but the colonel and the curator of the museum could pronounce. He had been especial ly anxious to bag it. he said because of it's rarity, and. probably because Of his eagerness he had missed it at the first shot. The second time he said, the bull let went through an eye. A mountain buffalo attracted the colonePs attention and he stopped short before it. It was not properly mounted, he said, and he pointed out a spot on the buffalos side which he believed the taxidermist had not filled out properly. The curater agreed with him, and promised that the Dunaio would be made true to life.

He is held to be Ineligible to enter this country be- cause he attempted suicide in Paris last July and may be ordered deported In this case the princes plight will be a peculiar one.
 With neither the French nor Amer ican government willing to receive him, the princes friends tonight wondered what his port of refuge would be. His deportation, if ordered under the law, would be via the French line which brought him here and this would take him straight back to Havre, whence he started
 The prince denied at first that hs ever attempted suicide, but according to the immigration inspectors who ex- amined hpn, was later trapped into ar admission that he had ~''accidentaliy shot himself because his family sought to have him marry a young Spanish woman The inspectors then charged him with falsehood and sent him to de tention quarters at Ellis Island
