TEACHERS STILL ‘AFTEffSHERWOOD Protest 'Whitewashing' of G, 0, P, Candidate. Oscar H. Williams, former head of the teachers' training department jof the State board of education, has written Clyde A. Walb. Republican State chairman, protesting against action of the State committee in "white-washing" H. N. Sherwood. G. O. P. candidate for superintendent of public instruction, of charges of fbaud and other "irregularities.” Williams wrote: “One cannot but wonder what superior kind of evidence the committee examined, as compared with that examined by the State board of education when it fixed upon Sherwood the responsibHity of irregularities in issuing teachers’ certificates. The committee certainly didn't examine all the evidence. The committee acted without hearing all the evidence. “As most of these educators including myself are Republicans in good standing we respectfully Inquire on what evidence we are judged guilty of a "spirit of vindictiveness.” “The committee's action does not close the affair and another commit-

Missourian Says. Wealth Saved Slayers. Bv T'nitrd Press MEXICO. Mo., Sept. 16.—Speaking to a congregation which included fifty members of the Ku-Klux Klan in full regalia, the Rev. J. H. Hughes of the First Baptist Church Sunday attacked Justice Caverly's decision in the Leopold-Loeb hearing in a sermon on the text. “Thou Are Weighed and Found Wanting." The Rev. Hughes drew a parallel between the Leopold-Loeb case and that of Bernard Grant, sentenced to hang for the murder of a Chicago policeman. He compared the education of the two sons of millionaires with that of the boy from “back of the yards” in Chicago, who is now awaiting the gallows, and suggested justice had been swayed by prestige and wealth. Hughes, who said he was not a Klansman. told his audience: “If ever justice was defeated It was when Judge Caverly sentenced these two boys to prison for life. If you men in this strange garb will do anything to remedy this social evil I am for you.” REFORMER DIES ATRICHMOND Timothy Nicholson Known All Over U. S. By Vnited Press RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 15.

They arrive at Mombassa. the ‘'gateway of British East Africa,” and then make the railroad journey to their camp on the game-crowded Kapiti Plains. 2RB miles from the coast. With Colonel Roosevelt an, his son, Hermit, and three scientific members *>f hie staff—Major Edgar A. Mearns. Edmund Heller and J. Allen Coring. Incredible good fortune comes to the rifles of Colonel Roosevelt and Hermit during the first two weeks of their sojourn. They killed seven lions within almost as many days after landing in Mombassa. to say nothin* of other varieties of big game. There is much work to be done in preparing the skins of tho large animals. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOItY mHE wonderful array of heads, skeletons and skins spread out in the sun near the tents bore silent but convincing testimony to the splendid energy and markmanship of Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit. There were lions, hippopotamus, rhinoceri, giraffe, cheetah, a leopard that .Ivermit had shot when charging, buffalo, wart-hog, zebra, and a laree and comprehensive collection of antelope, gnu and gazelles. There was also a twelve-foot python that Colonel Roosevelt shot when it was rushing at him angrily: and vast quantities of birds and small mammals that had been so industriously collected by Mearns Rnd Loring. The sun was slanting toward the western horizon, so we hurried hack to our tents to prepare for the afternoon’s shooting, for we had been invited to accompany father and son on their quest after further specimens. Colonel Roosevelt was already mounted, and talking to Cunninghame. “Hurry up, you fellows-” he called, as we approached. “Whilst (Junninghame and I try to get a big bull wildebeeste that ‘R. J.' has located,” announced the colonel, when all were ready and had mounted, "Kermit Is going after wart-hog.” N “I’ll take Dawson along with me and watch your hunting, colonel,” volunteered Heatley. “You come with me, then, Foran.” decided Kermit. We started off in a bunch, Dawson and I riding our hired mounts. Both

of these miserable specimens caused us the target for Jeers during the ride out on to the plains. We were soon approaching the game, and here the party broke up according to pre-arrangement. While Colonel Roosevelt and “R. J.” rode off across the plains in the direction of where tho latter had marked dow r n the big v.ildebeeste bull, Kermit and I struck away to tho right to try and scare up some wart-hogs. Heatley and Dawson dismounted and sat down on a small hillock to watch the progress of the two hunts. Kermit and I soon put up a fine wart-hog sow, which looked to possess exceptionally large tusks. I suggested to him that we should rido it down from on horseback, even as lions had been ridden down with revolvers by some of the oldtimers In Africa. The idea caught Kermit’s imagination. He was a boy of few words, but swift action. Setting spurs to his pony, he was quickly speeding across the rolling plains in hot pursuit of “Mrs. Pig.” My indifferent pony was left hopelessly behind. Kermit proved to be a singularly fine rider, and an excellent shot with a rifle—even from the saddle. For a mile or more, the sow managed to hold her own, and Kermit w’as unable to get at close enough rangß to make sure of killing. Then, I saw him suddenly drop the reins on his pony's neck, and fire at the warthog from his hip as he raced alongside. The shot went home and the pig rolled over. It was quite dead w’hen we reached It. We rode about the plains for some time, but did not put up any more wart-hogs. As we could see that some porters had retrieved the kill, and were carrying it back to camp, we rode across country to see how the colonel was faring In his quest after wildbeeste. We could see him. with Cunninghame close at hand, stalking a herd in the distance; so we sat down to watch him. There were large quantities of different game where they were stalking, but the wildebeeste were few and scattered. We could plainly see a fine bull, which appeared to be the objective. But the old fellow was shy. The hunters were having

great difficulty in getting close enough to bo certain of getting him at the first shot. The wildebeeste are as savage as they are inordinately suspicious, so it is not easy to stalk them. This old bull, every time the hunters ipproached near him, plunged and bucked before starting off on a wild gallop to a place further removed from th? two strangers. His actions appeared to be very ferociously eccentric, and the chances of getting him did not appear bright. JTT. N, ROOSEVELT GREETS THE WILDS. Colonel Roosevelt was unable to get close enough for a shot. Darkness crept over the veldt, and he gave it up. We waited for Colonel Roosevelt and Cunninghame to rejoin us, a,r*l then we all rode back to .camp in silence. Disappointment makes all hunters silent. But I think that Kermit felt his father’s disappointment more keenly than any one. No one who has not experienced a dinner in a camp on the East African plains, with the night's perfect stillness broken only now and then by a distant laughter of a hyena or the barking neigh of a zebra close at hand, can really appreciate the utter joy of such a meal. It Is especially delightful after a tiring day in the saddle or afoot after big game. And after dinner comes the time when one gathers round the campfires. whose flames from the burn-

ing logs form all sorts of weird and fantastic* shapes in the darkness. Then one's thoughts wander back over the happenings of the day and farther back over the adventurious incidents of other days of hunting and one drinks to the dregs of the cup of .ill that Is very best in life. At Dawson’s insistence Colonel Roosevelt told of a preceding day's lion hunt. “I was in good hands with Pease,” commenced Colonel Roosevlt. “He knew every likely place for lions in ;tll the neighborhood. Our first lions were two large cubs, as big as mastiffs. They were found in some bushes near a dry watercourse. I could not see them properly, and thought they were full-grown beast3. I fired at what I could see; and then Kermit fired also at a point where the bushes were disturbed. Then they broke cover. Each was badly wounded and so we finished them off!” “Tell them about the two big lions we got later on that afternoon, father,” urged Kermit. “We put up two big lions in another dried watercourse,” Colonel Roosevelt continued, “and they crashed off through the thick brush. At first we thought they were charging; but they were running away. They appeared right in front of me, less than fifty yards away. I hit one of them, a big, maneless fellow, and brought him down with his hind quarters dragging. He endeavored to face us, with his savage jaws wide open and growling fiercely. Kermit and I fired into his chest, and he died immediately. The other was galloping across the plains, so we mounted and chased him. Finally, the lion halted and stood at bay, facing us. The grass was too long to see him properly after I dismounted.” "And my horse would not let me shoot,” disgustedly exclaimed Kermit. "That’s so!” agreed his father; and then he continued his story. “I expected the lion to charge any minute. I could hear him growling fiercely: but I still could not see him sufficiently well to be sure of my aim. Suddanly, he turned toward me—and I got my chance. I fired and the lion went down with his fore feet in the air. But he recovered instantly, and faced me once more. I sent another bullet into his shoulders, and it broke his back. That made four lions is one afternoon!” There was a prolonged silence, broken only by the distant roar of a lion hunting in the moonlight, after the colonel ceased talking. Dawson was the first to speak. "What about the other lions, Colonel?"

Colonel Roosevelt rose, and smiled down on us. “I think that’s enough for tonight,” he remarked quietly. “I want to go out with ’R. J.’ at dawn after the wildebeeste bull. I want that fellow to co.rplete our group.” CHAPTER V Roosevelt’s Crowded at Nairobi Nairobi had been In the throes of great excitement and anticipation for live weeks, for the news had spread that Theodore Roosevelt wae to spend a week there before proceeding on his hunting expedition through the thirst-land to the Sotik country. The reception given at Government House by Sir Frederick and Lady Jackson In honor of Colonel Roosevelt was an Interesting affair to the onlooker. The guests passed in a seemingly never-ending stream before Colonel Roosevelt, shook hands and passed on. One old South African turned to me suddenly, and said with great emphasis “By Jove! I wish he was governor here. Teddy Roosevelt would soon make something of this country, and suppress all this officialsettler trouble. There stands a real man!” Meanwhile, the Introductions had come to an end and Colonel Roossvelt and Kermit had an opportunity to make better acquaintance with many of the interesting types present. They mixed freely with the
