Ituinir of Fatal Hunting Accident
Evolved by Sixth Sense Is
Quickly Killed.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6. Another of those
apparently absurd rumors that bob up
nearly every time a prominent man gets
out of direct touch with the world circu
lated over the country today concerning
ex-President Roosevelt. The will o" the
wisp had it that Sir. Roosevelt had been
killed in Africa and, becauso of dangers
of African hunting, freshly imprinted on
tlie nubile mind by Mr. Roosevelt's mag
azine articles, there was some, uneasiness
until Douglas Robinson, Mr. Roosevelt's
brother-in-law, declared emphatically he
took no stock in such reports.
Mr. Robinson, branded the first vague
reports of the day as false and, when
Informed tonight that later rumors from
the shadowland of newspaperdom had It
.that he (Mr. Robinson) bad been advised
by cable -Of Mr. Roosevelt's death, he
authorized a vigorous denial.''' If anything
had happened to his brother-in-law Mr.
Robinson was sure lie would hear of it
immediately and accordingly he placed
no credence in the reports of today.
Ma'gazlne editors and other -associates
of Mr. Roosevelt in New York took the
same view.
It was pointed out also that the Co
lonial office in London would be advised
promptly of any mishap to Mr. Roosevelt,
and as nothing had appeared, this was
taken as additional evidence that1 the
story was merely a news sprite from the
neld of sixth sense.
According to latest cable dispatcher.
Mr. Roosevelt is hunting on the Guas
Jnglshu Plateau and will return to Lon
dlana in about Ave weeks.
ICOOSEVFXT IS XOT INJURED
Humor of Accident to ex-President
Discredited in London.
LONDON. Nov. S. The East African
department of the Colonial Office has
heard nothing: of any accident to Mr.
Roosevelt. The officials state it is in
conceivable that anything serious could
have happened to him And the fact not
be reported by the Governor to the
Colonial Office. .
Rumor Without Foundation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. Confidential
information from a source whose re
liability cannot ba questioned was ob
tained here this afternoon making; It
apparently certain that no tidings of
any mishap to Mr. Roosevelt had
reached this country by any of the for
eign cables.

BERLIN. Nov. 5. The Emperor today
summoned Dr. Bode, curator of the Em

allegations by English ' art critics that

for the life-sized bust of a woman. The
bust was supposed to have been the' 15th
century workmanship of DaVicini. Since
the sale a son of, Lucas has offered evi
dence to prove that the bust w-as niade
by his father in 1S46. The elder Lucas
was a sculptor of some prominence in
london.
Today Dr. Bode submlttted to the Em
peror the proofs of the genuineness of
the bust as representing the workman
ship of Da Vlcint. He said the bust had
been examined by the best art critics and
they agreed with his own opinion.
