His 18-month trip through the greatest hunting country on earth will only end in about time to allow the famous naturalist and sportsman to reach his home, at Oyster Bay, in time for the Christmas shopping of 1910. The route planned for the ex-president by Carl E. Akeley, a naturalist; of Chi cago, takes Mr. Roosevelt through the wildest regions yet left on the globe by civilized man aside from the frozen zones lying about the two polar regi ons. While Mr. Akeley went over some of the territory mapped out for Mr. Roosevelt yet John Selous, of London, the most noted hunter and sportsman of this day and generation, had the final decision as to where the famous American should travel with his bearers. Selous will travel over the early route of the party from Mom basa, on the Indian Ocean coast line of East Africa, probably as far inland as Lake Victoria. where Mr. Roose velt will enter on territory rarely be fore visited by any white man. Four companions will make the trip with Mr. Roosevelt, allowing for no accidents, and it may be said in pass ing that accidents are very common things to those who sojourn between Lake Victoria and Lake Albert and travel through Uganda and the Nile side of the Soudan. Kermit Roose velt is a bright lad, whose chief duty aside from shooting stray elephants will be to make photographs of both a popular arid scientific value. Ma jor Mearns, of the United States army, has been thoughtfully assigned by the war department to go with the expedition not only as a natu ralist, but as a physician, whose presence will undoubtedly be the means of saving at least one life to the party before the trip is ended. The chief labor of a scientific na re will devolve upon Dr. J. A. Lor ing, of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, who Is a trained natu ralist, of wide experience. It will fall DESPONDENCY CAUSES SUICIDE WELL KNOWN CALIFORNIA HORSEMAN TAKES HIS OWN " LIFE AT RACETRACK. Los Angeles, Cal., April 17.-Des- 8 pondency over ill fortune with his horses this season and grief over the passage of the California anti-gamb ling law caused W. G. Poole, familiar ly known as "Bishop," one of the oldest and best known horsemen in the country to commit suicide at Santa Anita race track this morning. The act was committed in Poole's stable on the track grounds. He slashed his wrist with a razor and to make death sure took a dose of car- a bolic acid. e Poole was a native of Kentucky and t had been racing horses for 25 years. 1 He was one of the old guard that in- a cluded Ed Corrigan, Dave Waldo and I Tom Stevens, all of whom were the r central figures around Chicago 15 years ago. The old turfman had but t one horse left. This was Friese, owned c by Kelly of Joliet, Ill. and trained by t Poole. Poole left a wife and daugh- i ter in Grand Bend, Kan. t SENSATION CREATED t BY JAP AND WIFE Ogden, Utah, April 17.-A mild sen sation was created on an Oregon Short Line train, which arrived in Ogden this morning by a Japanese caressing a white woman in one of the Pullmans. Action was about to be taken to eject the couple when the white men on the train were informed that the lovers were Gunjiro Aoki and his wife, the daughter of Arch deacon Emory of San Francisco, who were entitled to a period of honey moon after their flight to Seattle and marriage. Aoki and wife are en route to Salt I Lake. ACCUSED OF FORGING POSTAL MONEY ORDER Cficago. April 17.--n the county jail awaiting trial on the charge of forg ing a postal money order is the son of a former United States minister to China. The government for which the father of the prisoner practically gave up his life in 1862 will demand that the son be sentenced to a term ·,.· :::-'b ::i;::: :::"';: I~ i:·L:·~g~~i: :::::~.i:~.~i~i~~~i·~i~~~:~il~. ; to the lot of Dr. Lorlng to press out flora and set up the fauna culled from the jungle and the high moun tainous regions as well as those ob tained from the almost desert coun try of Soudan. Dr. Loring will be as sisted in caring for the spoils of Mr. Roosevelt's rifle by Prof. Edmund Heller, a well-known California natu ralist, who is an expert taxider mist. These are the white men planned to accompany the party, but there will be always at least a score of native Africans in the train of Mr. Roosevelt whose duties will consist of bearing burdens, beating the jungle 1 for all kinds of wild animals and generally acting as beasts of burden. It will cost not less than $300 :a month for porters, gunbearers, per sonal attendants, etc., and that is in a country where a big, strong ser vant can be bought outright for $30. The rate of wages Mr. Roosevelt will pay is on the following scales: Per sonal servants, $3.50 to $6 a month: porters and bush heaters for game, $2 to $4 per month; cooks, $5 to $7 a month, and gun bearers. $10 to $20 a month. The rifles, shotguns and revolvers that will start with the party would stock a small arsenel, for nearly every manufacturer of firearms in the world of years in the penitentiary at Fort Levenworth. His father was Jonas Houston, former New York district atter ney, former congressman from New York, friend of President Lincoln and man of affairs. He died in Shanghai a few months after his appointment by Lincoln as minister to China. Houston was arrested three months ago and has been kept at Joliet. As his case is expected to come up soon in the federal court he was brought to Chicago and lodged in the county jail. He has not heretofore admitted his relationship to Jonas Houston. COUNITERFEI COINS ARE VERY NUMEROUS New York, April 17.-Secret Service agents stationed here are making ev ery effort to trace to their source thousands of counterfeit quarters and half dollars recently put in circulation and offering no indications of spur iousness other than a certain dead ness to their ring. The coins are perfect to the eye and touch, but the alloy used in their composition makes them easy of de tection by ear. Those engaged in palming them off, however, choose times and places as renders their sub mission to the sound test unpracti cable. A great many, according to the secret service men, have been passed in street cars. GUILTY OF BURGLARY. Los Angeles, April 17.-George Allen Beatty, arrested at Dayton, Ohio, and brought back to Los Angeles charged with robbing the First National bank of Monrovia, Cal., of over $30,000, was brought into court today and pleaded guilty to burglary. Sentence will be imposed next week. Two of Beatty's confederates, Martin and Sundin, im plicated by him in his confession, are in jail awaiting trial. ICE DOES DAMAGE. Niagara Falls, N. Y., April 17.--The ice in the Nnagara river, below the falls, broke up today at the whirlpool and also in the vicinity of Lewiston. Queenstown and Youngstown. Consid erable damage was done at Queens town, one dock being carried away and several fishing shanties being de stroyed. Dynamite will be resorted to in an effort to save the docks. MORSE CASE SET. New York. April 17.- -Special 'nited States District Attorney Lewis L. Stimson today filed notice in the court of appeals that on Monday he would make a motion to set peremp torily the first day of the May term of court for the hearing of the appeal from conviction of Charles W. Morse, the former banker, now in the Tombs. VUDA ... '1,i DIET ý.,..

Each of the principals in te patrty must pay to a British official a killing license of $250 whch will en title them to the following game: Two elephants (male only), two rhi noceroses, two hippos, two zebras, two cheetahs. two ostriches (male only), two of the big antelopes and gazelles and ten of the small species, and ten wildcats, if he c(an locate them. But It is the exact route of Mr. Roosevelt and his party, which is but little known to the public. This NEW YORKER KILLED MYSTERIOUSLY WELL KNOWN EAST SIDE CHAR ACTER IS SHOT DOWN BY AN UNKNOWN ASSAILANT. New York, April 17.-On the theory that the arrest of Benny Adelson in Pasadena. Cal., yesterday may have had something to do with the crime, the police today are investigating the shooting of Billy O'Brien, a well known east side character in front of Steve Brodie's saloon on the Bowery early today. O'Brien was shot through the heart and died instantly. The man who fired the fatal shot escaped. It was at first believed the murder was the result of a quarrel, but when it was learned that O'Brier was known to be a witness in the shoot ing of Joe Reilly in Pell street in 1905 in conection with which Adelson is said to have been arrested in Pasa dena yesterday, the authorities turned their attention to this phase of the case. The report became known along the Bowery and O'Brien's probable appearance as a witness against Adel son was freely talked about. O'Brien had had a dispute with a man and a woman in one of the resorts and is said to have struck the woman. When he left the place some time after ward he was shot down, his assailant escaping through an alley. Four men were detained by the po lice today in connection with the kill ing of O'Brien. Three of them were t New Yorkers and the fourth gave his I name as Patrick Donovan of Whit I man, Mass. Donovan told the police that he was near by when the shoot ing occurred and saw the murderor I run away. GRANTS INJUNCTION AGAINST CONSPIRATORS Denver, Colo.., April 17.-Holding that a .nospirt'ay hadl hen formectl for the purlpse of injuring the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern Railway company and its allied land company, Judge Riddle of the district court this afternoon granted the company's ap iplication for a temporary injunction against Nels ()lsen and six other de fetndants from continuing in their co,urse of hostility toward tlho u'on panies. The c(omtpanies have a larg'e nlumber of Kansas stockholhlers whose inter e 'sts, it is alleged, have been injured e by the activities of certam persons - who have sought to cause a deteriora n tion in the value of thie stock. The re 1 straining order will be held operative upon the application of the plaintiff . companies. route, as given out by Mr. Selous, who planned it, and corrected by Mr. Roosevelt and marked 0. K. in the White House, is shown clearly and in detail in the actcomllpanying map. From the time of leaving New York until he passes through Port Said Mr. Roosevelt will be covering only familiar territory fully covered by all sorts of ordinary tourist parties. A glance at the map will show that the black dashes indicating the route roughly form a great bag, with the neck beginning at Port Said, where he touches Africa. and at Alexandria at the mouth of the Nile river, where he will once more emerge from darkest Africa into ordinary territory. Passing through Suez and the Red sea the expedition rounds the elbow of Africa at the Gulf of Aden, and comes down the Indian Ocean to Mombasa, where the beginning of the real expedition is found. From Mom basa the ex-president will be accom panied by Mr. Selous, at least, as for as Nairobi, where he is expected to pass six months at she estate cf William Northrup MacMillan, form FLEET WILL ATTEND THE OPENING PACIFIC SQUADRON OF BATTLE- C SHIPS WILL GO TO SEATTLE FOR EXPOSITION. Mare Island Navy Yords, April 17. The orders issued recently for the a West Virginia. Maryland, South Da- pe kota and California to come to Mare ft Island early in May have been re- h voked and the vessels will not arrive until June 13. Word has been re- 1 ceived from Washington that the en- al tire Pacific fleet will proceed north upon the completion of target prac tice at Magdalene bay to participate lo in the opening ceremony of the Al aska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at sea- f attle. It is expected that the cruisers hi will reach Bremerton navy yards on June 1, and those assigned to Mare Island will sail from there on the re turn trip June 13. et The" entire torpedo fleet beside the ct 1 colliers and auxiliaries have also been st assigned to Mare Island for repairs. The collier Saturn, Captain Newell, in commanding, now coaling at Call fornia City preparatory to returning to w Magdalena bay, will sail for that port on Monday, carrying a full cargo of coal and some stores for the fleet. ni SOME HOME MADE TEXT BOOKS PLANNED c | Chicago, April 17.--"HIme-made'' d - text honks, written by Chicago teach- l rlers and printed by the school board. h This is the policy which is likely to ihe adopted as the result of the re port made to the board of edulcation ft sthowing discriminution against ('h a- r go school children.

The finest ele phant hunting left is said to he ob tainable In this region, and prepara tions to round-up several score of these mammoths have been already made in readiness for the dis tlnguished sportsman. Lion hunting is fair here, though not to compare with the lion sport to be found much later on in the Soudan district between Lake Albert and Cobbe. Lions in this latter section are almost as plentiful as cows in the MAROONED ON ROOF AND DIES CHILD IS FOUND IN COMATOSE CONDITION ON TOP OF TENE MENT HOUSE. New York, April 17.--Jacob Cohen. a little tot of 3 1-2 years rdied of ex posure early today after having been found on the roof of a tenement house on the east side last night where he was marooned for at least 15 hours, possibly for 20. His moans and cries were heard from time to time Tuesday night and during Wednesday, but not until 10 o'clock last night was he found. The janitor who lives on the top floor heard faint moans from over head that drifted in through an open window of his room. Taking a light ed lantern he made his way to the roof, but in the rain and darkness could see nothing. For a moment he stood still and listened and in a lit tle while was guided by the repeated sounds to a chimney. There, huddled in its slight protection, he ound the boy in overalls, unconscious, soaked with the rain, "cold as a lump of ice" he said, and dying. As the child of Ignatz Cohen had been missing since early Tuesday night, the parents were notified of the finding of the little form on the roof and the father identified the body of his son at a police station. Cohen told the police that he and his wife thought the boy was sleeping Ily in another room Tuesday night but that in some way he had slipped frotn ii- bed and left the holuse e e( ', ld not imagine he said,. how the lilttle fellow had made bl i , to the+ tenement where hit \%a:s found, nearly thr, rltuarters of a mile 1'frot the ('ohn hime or, hlt )h I ha ri ,hld the roonf.

TITLE IS AFFIRMED TO YALUABLE LAND New York. April 17.--Yesterday's decision of the supreme court which confirms tile title of the city of New York to 11,000 acres of land in and adjacent to Jamaica Hay is looked upon as opening the way to the real ization of a project formulated in 1906 by E. H. Harriman, whereby freight terminals involving the expenditure of $25,000,000 were to have been erected at Rockaway Point. Mr. Harriman's plan as announced at the time was to dredge and main tain a channel across the narrow bar at the entrance to Jamaica Bay and to build a breakwater for a distance of ia mile and a quarter out to sea. A series of piers with water alongside of0 a depth of 60 feet were to have been utilized by the Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. Harriman is known to have owned a tract of some 400 acres. SAVED FROM DEATH.

Possibly Mr. Roosevelt may feel tempted to at temijpt to accomplish the hitherto im pIssihle. Hut it is improhbable; for by this time he will be accompanied by se.res of natives painfully carrying the various natural curiosities which he desires to bring back home so as to gain a scientific fame equal to his reputation as a politician, statesman and an orator. Avoiding the ,earlier reaches of the Nile the exledition will strike through the Sudan until they land at Cobbe. andil it is on this link of the journey that the nation's former chief ex ecutive will pass through a country where lions are as frequent as rats in a big stable. The danger here will necessitate a constant watch at night. and although with such a large party the danger to any individual will be not so great, yet lion killing in this section of the eastern Soudan is ai necessity and not a sport. They do not have to hunt the lions, but are hunted by them in this region. After reaching Ctobbe the xpedition will emerge from the almost unknown Into comparative civilization, and at Khartoom will strike the N;le below the Grand Rapids and take a steamer. At this point the dozens of bearers will be paid off and dismissed and the spoils of the great trip will be billed as freighlt. Down the Nile the party will travel to Alexandria and a big ocean liner is met and the final lap for home is made. STRONGER DEFENSE FOR HAWAII ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW ARTIL LERY DISTRICT WILL MAKE BIG IMPROVEMENT. Washington, April 17.-By the es tablishment of the artillery district of the department of California de signated as the Distrlct of Honolulu about July 25, Hawaii's defense will Ib greatly strengthened. Major John K. Cree, now at Fort Prebble, Maine, was today ordered to the Presidio at San Francisco to as sume command of the coast artillery troops under orders to proceed to Honolulu. It is the intention of the war department to send only two companies of the coast artillery to Fort Ruger, Hawaii, at this time, but provisions are being made for a four company garrison. Major Cree with his troops will sail from San Francisco about July 6. When the present plans of the war department have been carried cut the defenses of Honolulu will be manned by 45 officers and 1,065 men of the coast artillery corps. There will be 17 mortars, six 12-inch guns and seven 3-inch guns in the batteries. BIG SACK OF MONEY SEIZED BY HOLOUPS San Franisl'o, Cal., April 17.-James M.
