G - Unusually Good Luck Attended First Day’s Chase of the American Hunters FOUR BIG LIONS BAGGED FRIDAY Ex-President Killed Three, Each Falling on First Shot, while Kermit Laid Another Low with Three Euliets —Plans for this Hunt in the Mau Hills Made by F. C. Selous, English Hunter—Giraffes Next. Nairobi, British East Africa, May 1. —Four lions are trophies of ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt’s camp in_the Mau Hills tonight, and the two hundred or more native followers are joining with the American party in the celebration of the unusually good luck. Fondest Hopes Realized. ‘The lions were bagged Friday, and Colonel Koosevelt's mighty gun brought three of them to earth, each on the first_shot. Thus one of the former president’s fondest desires has been Te- alized, and he is proud, too, that the fourth of the jungle kings fell before the rifle of his son, Kermit, who, how- ever, took three shots to kill his quar- ry. Both father and son are jubilant. It was their first llon hunt,”and so magnificent a kill was far beyond their expectatlons, Plans Laid by English Hunter. Lions have been plentiful in the hills Yor the past month, and the English hunter, C. Selous, has been out for several days, laying plans for the hunt, How well he succeeded can be seen from the results of Friday’s chase. Mr. Seious accompanied the former president, who also was attended by the usual retinue of beaters. As a rule, the beaters go into the jungle with considerable trepldation, but as Colonel Roosevelt’s reputation as a hunter had | reached here long befors he arrived in | person, the beaters on this occasion were exceptionally enthusiastic. They | seemed even eager to play a part In the firet hunt of the dletinguished American Mau Hills Good Hunting Ground. | The caravan started early Thursday morning from the ranch of Sir Alfred | Pease, on the Athi river, and proceed- | ed slowly to the Mau Hills. This range is open for wide areas, but in places ‘is covered with dense zrowth: where game s plentiful. The first night in camp was without especial in- terest, no attempt being made to g0 after lions, although their roaring was heard now and then during the course of the nigh{ At dawn the camp was astir and the drive speedily organized. The native ‘beaters set out in all direcctions under the inetruction of the ‘“headman,” equipped with all sorfs of nolse-making devices which could not but arouse any game within earshot. Some of the beats proved unsuccessful, but by nightfall no less than ten species of game had been bagged. Kermit's Camera Did Effective Work. Kermit Roosevelt during the greater part of the day did more effective work with his camera than he did with his gun, he and the other members of the party allowing Mr. Roosevelt the' much prized shots. \ Nativevs Danced Around the Trophi Detalls of the actual shooting were not brought down to Nairobi Saturday from the camp, but it was declared that in each case a single bullet from the ex-president’s rifie sufficed to bring down his lion. From this it is seen that Colonel Roosevelt is living up to the reputation which he has gained here of being a crack shot. All of the loons were of normal size. After the native shad dragged the quarry to- gether in thé grass they executed the usual dance around the trophies. Giraffes Next. . The party plans to go south today, with the hope of bagging oue or more giraffes. The chances are that Mr. Roosevelt's good luck will continue, for natives and settlers from all sections report game as very plentiful. CHAIRMAN KENEALY OPERATED UPON FOR APPENDICITIS.‘ ‘The Patient Last Night Was as Com- fortable as Could Be Expected. | Staraford, Conn,, May 2.—The con- dition of Michael Keneaiy, chairman of the republican state central com- mittee, who was operated upon last right at the Stamford hospital for ap- | endicitis, is as comfartable as could e expected at this time, though he is rot as yet entirely out of danger. It had been hoped that the disease would yield to treatment, as & previ- cus 'k had done, but his condi- tion was such Baturday morning that an_operation became- necessary. Dr. Robert Morris of New York perform. ed the operation, asesisted by Dr. George Sherril, the family physioian. Mr. Kenealy was taken il while at- tending the funeral of ‘he late Gov- ernor Ljlley, but it was not until yes- terday that an operation was deemed necessary. PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL. There. Remains Now Nothing b’l the Vote—Probable Rejection. Hartford, May 2.—The house is al. most through with the public utilities commission matter-—was, indeed, when it voted the previous question Thurs- Aay ard shut off everything except the dinal vote on the matter—and there re. mains now nothing but this vote, no emendments or substitute biils befng i order after the previous question is ordered. This means the rejection of the present bill, which has very few sriends. The fact that it proposes to take away from the legislature one of its principal powers, that of grant- ing charters, and & this in the Tands of three men appointed by the governor, long since condemned the neasure in the minds of most legisla- tors. That there i3 no real wish for a ublic utilities commission s shown v the fact that many weeks have elapsed since it was plain that this il would not pass and no effort what. cver has been made to either amend this bill or offer a substitute, MAROONED WORKMEN SAcE.

They were rowed out to the end of the pler 1800 feet from shore, last Friday morning, to begin some repair work, the middle section of the structure having been swept away in a storm sume weeks ago, The gale of Friday raleed the combers of the beach to such n height that no one ventured to g0 out to the workmien uniil today. 00d was sent to them, however, by means of & wire which was left hang- Brought ing between the two ends of the pier when the middie was carried away. —— CONDEMNED BY DEFAULT.

GRAND TRUNK IS ATTRACTING MUCH ATTENTION Coming Through Center of New Eng- land, It Holds Strategetic Position. A lengthy article concerning the Grand Trunk railway of Cdnada and its possibilities appeared last week in the Montreal Daily Heraid, from which the following extract is taken: At the present time the irand Trunk railway system is attracting the at- tention of the eastern states and its imfluence as a great international rail- road on the business and traffic of the United States s i ~gnized and talked about as never before, The latest evidence of this Is con- tained in an fnterview with a gentle- man_from Boston who is closely in touch with transportation matters in ngiand. - He says the New Eng- icnders are looking to the Grand Trunk as one of their chief means of Qevelopment, recognizing that it is creating and protecting a traffic which | the trunk lines would not do of them- selves. The trunk lines devote their cutire energles, he says, o the devel. opment of New York, and that wuntil the Grand Trunk took a hand in the game the interests of the other citles and ports of the east had compara- tively little show This, says the Boston authority, is all changed mow, and the port of Portland and the other cities of the coast 100k to the Grand Trunk as their chief hope.
