COL ROOSEVELT OUT OF AFRICAN JUNGLE

Press Correspondents Welcome thi Ex-President Back to Civilization on the White Nile. NOTHING TO SAY ON POLITICS Colonel Is in Good Health and Spirits After Facing Perils in the Dark Continent. After a year in the African wilds, Colcnel Roosevelt and his party halted at Renk on the White Nile, Egyptian Soudan, and there on the threshold of civilization met a party of newspaper correspondents. The Roosevelt party were aboard the government steamer Dal. placed at their disposal by Sir Reginald Wingate, the British sirdar. Colonel Roosevelt received the correspondents on board the Dal. which was tied to the right bank of the Nile. He is tanned brown as a cigar and is in excellent health. "I'm ready for anything." he said, with the old familiar smile. But he did not smile when he answered almost the first question the correspondent put: "I have nothing to say and shall have nothing to say on American or European politics, on any iolitical question or any phase or incident connected with politics. . I shall hold no interviews, and anything purporting to be in the nature of an interview can be accepted as false. Thi3 applies during my entire stay in Europe." The former President received an enormous number of letters at Renk. Colonel Roosevelt expressed delight that his son. Theodore, Jr., is engaged to marry Miss Eleanor Alexander of Xew York. "She is the dearest girl!" he exclaimed, affectionately. Colonel Roosevelt talked enthusiastically of his hunting adventures. He warmly praised the courtesy of British and other officials. The facilities they offered him largely enabled him to complete his collection. The talk aboard the Dal revealed that Colonel Roosevelt had several narrow escapes in the jungle. In the last an elephant which he had wounded charged him. He was trapped; there was no escape through' the thic kjungle. The infuriated beast's trunk almost grazed him, when, at that close range, Colonel Roosevelt fired. Luckily he hit a vital spot; the elephant dropped In its tracks. Kermit Roosevelt is in perfect health and condition. So are the others of the party R. T. Cunninghame, the experienced African hunter, who prepared and conducted the expedition; A. J. Loring and Edmund Heller and Dr. Mearns. The Dal towed a large barge laden with a thousand trophies of the plain and jungle. They constitute the largest collection of specimens ever taken out of Africa. The rare specimens include the first whole skin of the great eland, killed after great hardships; a white-eared kob, a Gray's waterbok, a shoebill stork, and a dik dik, an antelope about the size of a jack rabbit. After leaving Egypt Mr. Roosevelt goes to Naples, then to Budapest and Paris. He will pass through Holland, the land of his ancestors, and arrive the first week of May In .Christlania. The colonel then goes to Berlin and London. lie will stay in England until tearly in June, when he sails for America, and expects to be in New York June 20. Colonel Roosevelt and his son have killed about 300 specimens of big game. These include 17 lions, 11 elephants, 10 buffaloes, 10 black rhinoceroses, 9 white rhinoceroses, 9 hippopotami, 9 giraffes, 3 leopards, and almost innumerable deer of various sorts.

The demand by the people for arbitration of the differences between the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company and its 4,000 or more striking employes has become insistent.

Everywhere it is recognized that the failure to arrive at any arbitral agreement is the only thing that stands in the way of a speedy calling off of the general sympathetic strike in the city, which practically has paralyzed the eitly's industrial life and which the labor leaders made renewed threats to spread if the deadlock continued. These threats, perhaps, were watt most stood in the nay of an amicable adjustment. The "vested interests," which are a decided factor In the situation, dislike and resent the hint of coercion. At a representative meeting of business men the other afternoon the call for arbitration was the keynote. Local financial, commercial and official bodies, and the federal authorities, is well as the salutary Influence of the National Civic . Federation, were appealed to to step In and end the dimculty. Gov. Stuart at Harrisburg was petitioned by the labor men to take aciion, and the patriotic citizens of the city and State were Invoked in res lutions, statements, and petitions to aid in putting a stop to conditions which Philadelphia daily finds growing more intolerable.

s SIRED BY BUliERIl FRAUDS Federal Grand Jury Asked by Judge K. Al. Landis to .Make an Investigation. PENALTIES FOR VIOLATED LAWS Wholesale Operations of 4Moonshiners" Have Been Very Profitable in Past Few Years. The people of Chicago have been consuming 30,000 pounds a day of colored oleomargarine in the belief that they were eating butter, the government has lost $5,475,000 in revenue In five years and unscrupulous dealers have netted a total illicit profit close to $10,000.000 in that period. These were a few of the startling facts brought to light by the Federal investigation into the activities of butterine "moonshiners" and which may involve men high in business and public life In Chicago and Washington before it is completed. The wholesale operations of tha "moonshiners" had become so successful and profitable that negotiations had been opened for control of a fleet of tugboats aboard which it was planned this spring and summer to color white "oleo" illicitly far from the possible Interference of Federal revenue officers. Such is the colossal fraud situation which the Federal grand jury has been asked hy Judge Kenesavv M. Landis to investigate and "which attaches of the district attorney's office are said to declare will result in tending a score of men to Federal prisons. The revenue -ofFicers are declared to hold evidence of violations, by both manufacturers and dealers, of three .regulations in the oleomargarine law, as follows: 1. Evasion of the 10-cent-a-pound tax for coloring oleomargarine. 2. Fraudulent use of inspection labels. 2. Purveying "renovated" or 'process" butter without so marking it. For violation of the first mentioned regulation, the penalty is forfeiture of factory, apparatus, all oleomargarine and raw material found in the factory and a fine cf not less than $30ö or more than $3,000, and imprisonment of not less than six months or more than three years. For violation of the second regulation the penalty Is a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment for not more than two years. For violation of the third the penalty is a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $300 and imprisonment of from one to six months. The Federal officers have drawn a net of evidence so closely about the suspected men that it is declared it will be difficult for them to advance an adequate defense. After obtaining competent affidavits from dealers and consumers, that more than 95 per cent of the "oleo" used is colored, the revenue officers have compiled the following tables of figures from the sworn statements of manufacturers listed at the revenue collector's office: September, 1909 Pounds of white "oleo" sold. .1.300.000 Pounds of colored "oleo" sold.. 0,000 November, 1909 Pounds of white "oleo" sold. .1,400.000 Pounds of colored "oleo" sold.. 90,000 January, 1P10 Pounds of white "oleo" sold . . 1.GÖ0.O00 Pounds of colored "oleo" sold.. 102,000 ' Obviously at variance with actual trade conditions in oleomargarine, as evidenced by the exhaustive investigation made by revenue officers, these figures" will be used to clinch the government lawyers' charges of wholesale fraud. When considered in the light of statemeats made by revenue officers and assistant district attorneys, who declare that nearly all of the white "oleo" should have paid the 10 cents a pound tax, the story of fraud told by the figures is held to be striking. Four leading manufacturers of butterine are alleged by revenue officers to have supplied "moonshiners" with coloring matter and government insj)ection labels. SEVEN MINERS LOSE LIFE. (Mil y Our Man Eftcanea In I)latcr In u I e ii ii I v ii n i a. Colliery.

House Subcommittee Says He Mast Give More Proof. - By a practically unanimous vote the subcommittee of the House naval committee in Washington decided against bestowing any reward upon Robert E. Peary until he bad furnished further proof that he discovered the north pole. The only member of the committee who did not vote to defer action on the pending bill was Representative Englebright of California, who said he was convinced Mr. Peary had discovered the pole. Bates of Pennsylvania, heretofore considered a supiorter of Peary, offered the resolution. "I confess I am exceedingly skeptical about Mr. Peary's ever having discovered the pole," declared Representative Macon, "and I am going to protest against any honor being conferred upon him by Congress until be has established' beyond a reasonable doubt that he did discover it." Macon expressed himself as being "indignant at the thought of being called upon as a representative of the American people to confer a high honor upon any one of its citizens in me dark." All legislation by Congress, he said, ought to be open and above board. Macon said he wanted to direct attention to one "discrepancy in Mr. Peary's story.V This was the speed the explorer declared he made from the time Capt. Bartlett left him until he reached the pole. Peary said that for five days he made 26.4 miles a day, but Macon said this appeared singular in view of the fact that the Peary party had made only 9.0C miles a day up to the time Bartlett left "The astonishing part of Mr. Peary's statement," said Macon, "Is th4 number of miles he traveled every day after Baitlett left him, and when no white man was with him as witness, his only companion being his negro valet and four Eskimos."
