has never made material difference in rentals. Rural people come in, so the city suffers little loss. Frank Thomas, Union Trust Company: “There are more vacant houses than any year since the war, partly accounted for by the general slump in business and unemployment, and the big building program in Indianapolis the past few years. There is some trend to reduction in house rent.” D. W. Goldrick, The Spann Company, 25 E. Ohio St.: “There probably are few more vacancies tharf usual, due to times. People naturally move t® apartments this time of year. will not coinc down until labor, taxes and maintainance costs are reduced." Apartments Are Filling Clifford L. Meyers, Dunlop and Holtegel. Union Trust Bldg.: “Apartments are beginning to fill up, but slower than last year. Usually they move in the first of September, but this year it is the latter part. I do not look for much reduction in rents.” Oliver Clark, J. G. McCullough, 106 X. Delaware St.: “Apartments are pretty well filled up. There dre a few more vacant houses than usual, due to general conditions Kents are a reflection of business conditions. Henry J. Wiethe. J. S. Cruse. 128 X. Delaware St.: “Things have been very quiet—a little slower than usual. Selling is quieter than it has been for three or four years. Sup ply and demand will control rents.” John Stenger, Citizens Gas Company, Majestic Bldg.: “There are only a few more empty houses than last year.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Robert Koran, newspaper correspondent. accompanies tlio Theodore Roosevelt expedition into Airica in lPflp They arrive at Mombasa, the "gateway to British East Africa." and then make the railroad journey to their first ramp on the frame-crowded Kapiti Plains. With Colonel Roosevelt are his son. Kermit. and three scientific members of his staff—Major Edgar A. Mearns. Edmund Heller and J. Allen boring After a wonderfully successful shooting trip in the Sotik Country, the expedition camps for more hunting at a farm railed Sai-rai-Sai. Proceeding next Sr. Naivasha. the party meets with more good sport. Koran and Colonel Roosevelt set out to shoot a pelican for the museum. The hunt is unsuccessful, however. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY KjERMIT and Mearns had been _out after spring-haas the Eii, previous night, and had been fairly successful shooting them with the aid of lanterns. They had not got back to bed in camp until after 3 o’clock. Wc found Mearns up and having breakfast, when wc reached camp after our unsuccessful hunt after pelicans; Kermit, however, was still sleeping off the eflects of his night-hunting exertions. After breakfast. Colonel Roosevelt, Kermit and myself—having now secured a pair of oars for the boat — started out once more after the pelicans. The Colonel sat in the bow with his rifle across his knees and a shot-gun at his side; Kermit sat in the stern with two guns; while I rowed and a native gun-bearer steered for me. Roosevelt made a very pretty shot at two Egyptian geese, and dropped them both; they were on the wing, and it was a difficult shot. After we had picked them up from the water, we syv the pelicans. But this time there were only two of them, instead of four. As we gradually neared them, with as little noise as possible Colonel Roosevelt put his rifle to hi; shoulders and prepared to shoot. I rowed the boat to within fifty yards of them, and then stopped rowing as I was afraid of alarming them. Taking steady aim and allowing for the gentle rocking of the boat, Roosevelt fired. Away flew the two big birds, and vi- thought he had missed the* . i denly. however, mp* o. _h

flopped down into the water and lay motionless on its side. I rowed hastily toward our spoil and wc had soon recovered it. We knew that the doctor would be overjoyed, for he badly wanted a pelican for his collection of birds The other bird, however, would not let us approach near enough for Kermit to shoot at it. —* CHAPTER XII Race Week in N'airbi "No, I didn’t have any luck this trip—not. a single lion." It was Selous who spoke and his voice was inexpressibly sad and disappointed. He stood talking to Theodore Roosevelt on the railroad platform at Nairobi. Our train h.tiT just come in from Naivasha and wc found Selous waiting for it to proceed onward to Mombasa, where he was to embark for home. He had just completed a twomonths’ shooting trip with McMdlan, Williams, and Judd, the professional hunter. He had not even had the chance of a shot at a lion; yet Williams had killed two easily, and had been badly mauled by a third, vhho charged after being mortally wounded. His gun-bearer ha i pluckily killed it over him and thus had saved his master's life. “But Judd had a remarkable ad venture,” went on the gentle voice of Selous, as the two men sat side by side on a bench on the platform. “Judd and I saw a couple of lionesses, and galloped after them. Thar was in the Molo district. Judd was some eighty yards or so behind me, riding a mule, missed cne of the lionesses, but carried on after the other. The other lione-js stopped, apparently, and crouched ef-iad a thick bush. She let me pass aijd then sprang at Judd. "She was .about ten yards or so com Judd, when he saw her; and he ! fired at her from his hip, never hopping to hit her but just praying that she might be turned. As he fired his mule bucked him off, and when he landed, he found that he had fallen almost touching the lioness. Judd quickly reloaded; but the lioness lay on her side and never moved, Judd rose to his feet quickly and ■ aiined her cautiously. To his

amazement he found that she was dead. * ' “We found on examination that Judd’s chance shot had sent a bullet through her eyes and killed her instantaneously. There yvas not even ,i mark on the skin." "By gosh!” exclaimed Roosevelt. What a remarkable incident! I bet Judd’s mighty proud of that trophy. ’ "He Is." agreed Selous, as he rose to shake hands and wish Colonel Roosevelt good-by and good luck for the remainder of his trip.

We reached Nairobi at mid-day and found the platform crowded with people who had come to welcome the ex-President on his return from the Sotik. McMillan, who was to he his host in Nairobi, was there with Se lous to meet him, and Roosevelt and Selous were soon busy comparing the results of their two safaris. It was a very keen disappointment to Colonel Roosevelt that he was not to have an opportunity to enjoy a fortnight's hunting in the company
