After a brief hunting expedition last eve ning at Khaplta Plains Theodore Roose velt and his party broke up and started for the ranch of Sir Alfred Pease on the Athl River today. Colonel Roosevelt spent part of Saturday sorting his kit, while Kermit and several of the men went to try their luck with their rifles. An old settler, who seemed to take a liking to Kermit, offered to show him a likely place for good sport. They suc- . ceeaed in bringing down one buck. First Hunt Success. Colonel Roosevelt's first hunt was favored with line weather and he en Joyed the experience immensely. He bagged two wildobeestes and a Thomp son's gaz)lr. Mr. Roosevelt was some what disappointed, as he had been anxious to secure a Grant's gazelle, the massive horns of which are much sought for trophies. The hunt lasted several hours. Smallpox Is prevalent in Nairobi, and two cases have developed among the porters at Khaplta. These have been quarantined and the strictest precau tions are being observed to prevent a spread of the disease among those at tnched to the Roosevelt party. The danger of this Is now considered slight. Police Still Active. The police still maintain their measures for protecting the Americans from an noyance. They will not permit any per son except those designated by Colonel Roosevelt to go with the expedition. The Roosevelt party will go to the home of Sir Alfred Pease, an old friend of Colonel Roosevelts. with whom ho has hunted In Amerira. Colonel I'ease has a new house that is just finished on his ranch near Muchakos, ax miles up tlte railway from Mombasa, and expects to entertain Colonel Roose velt for several days before he leaves for the wilds of the interior. Telegraph Wires Follow. Mr. Roosevelt will have no difficulty in keeping in touch with the outer world anywhere In British East Africa, for telegraph wires cover the district in all directions and where the station Is at some distance native runners are em ployed to take messages. At night the natives have a semaphore signal system by means of torches waved from hill tops, which has been in use in the orient for thousands of years and is still reli able.

His sister was married in 1907, at Manchester. Mass.. to Sir John 1 Harrington, British minister to the court of King Menelik of Abyssinia. Mr. Mc Millan has accomplished important results in tne nomestlcation of native animuls and he ha3 removed the hump from the native cattle by Interbreeding them with xjurnatn bulls from England. He has aiso imported swine and mules from America. His ranch has all the modern con veniences and all the comforts of home. There are electric lights, telephones, an ariinciai ice plant, automobiles, pianos phonographs and all the other annurten. ances of civilization. His hospitable house Is a sort of hotel on the road to the great game fields. Situated more than a mile above sea level, the ranch pniova an agreeable temperature throughout the year, although the equator is only a short distance away. The Spring rains, lasting elx weeks, leave the air damp, but at other seasons the heat is dry, like that of Colorado. Mr. McMillan has traversed a great deal of the region which Mr. Roosevelt will visit. Four years ago lie went through the country north of Uganda. .Mr. Roosevelt and his party will have the benefits of Mr. McMillan's experience, both in exploration and In hunting.

ANYWHERE Portland Office, 68 Sixth Street DOCTOR SKILLED CROOK VOX FAULKEXSTEIX'S RECORD SURPRISES POLICE. Physician Who Looted Local Stores Able to Open Most Complex Locks With Ease. Later developments In the case of Dr. Fred V. von Faulkenstein, who is being held on a burglary charge, prove that the ex-New Yorker is one. of the smoothest crooks that has visited Portland in soma years. The further the police look into the man's record the more surprised they are at his skill. Von Faulkenstein Is said to be one of the few crooks In police annals who can skillfully open doors fastened with Yale locks. At the Second-street second-hand bookstore, where he obtained many val uable medical books and novels, some of which he gave away as Christmas pres ents, and some of which he pawned, he showed particular skill in forcing his entry. The door was fastened by both a Yale lock and a bolt. Von Faulkenstein re moved the tumbler chamber of the look In Its entirety, drew back the catch and then used a crooked wire to draw the bolt. After paining entrance to the store, he rebolted the door from the outside in the same manner, replaced the part of the lock that he had removed, and thus succeeded In puzzling the police. Shortly after Von Faulkensteh first came to the city he answered an advertisement A Cyclone may lift your house off the farm but an Endowment Policy will lift the mortgage Equitable Life Stronger and better than ever.

This brought htm a request to call, and In the interview that followed the manager askod him if he was a graduate physii-iau. Von Faulk, enetein replied that he was a graduate of both Berlin and one of the New York colleges. On being asked to produce his diploma in proof, he SHid that they were locked In his trunk, and. though he had the keys, the lock had become rusted and he could not open it. His familiarity with medical terms procured him the po sition, however, and he was sent by the sanatorium to Vancouver to drum up trade. He turned in an expense account of over for this work, but the sana torium got none of the patients, the New Yorker taking them all himself, and opening an office on SJtark street. Von Faulkenstein proved himself an ex pert with skeleton keys at the Perkins Hotel Pharmacy, and, while hanging around there and buying cigars, man aged to get away with samples of every thing in the store. He also gave away large quantities of cut flowers, which he. said he procured from a near-by florist in payment for a bill. The police now believe that he stole the flower.. Some time ago. with a suitcase filled with stolen surgical instruments. Von Faulkenstein made a trip to Seattle. When he returned he was minus the Instru ments. The local police have communi cated with the Seattle officers, and Seat tle pawn shops are to bo searched to see if some of the missing goods cannot be found there. Statehood Rill Shelved.
