LATE NEWS FROM CHICAGO The moving picture of President Boosevelt's hunting trip will not be seen in pnbllc unless the secret service men clienge tiielr minds and reinove tbe embargo on ita exhibition. By direct orders of th*- President the picture has been suppressed after one of tbe most expensive, as well aa most sncceasfol negatives baa been made. Tbe objection to the picttire was not its accuracy, bat tbe fact that a youig woman, wearing short skirts and riding astride, "butted in" the picture, and her ap- pearance on the screen in company with tbe President and hia two oompanlona ia decidedly objectionable to the executive. The negative was made in the moun- tains weet of Glenwood Hot Springs. Col., by H. B. Bnckwalter, of Denver, we s te r n agent ot tbe Sells Polyscope Co., only after expteaa pennls- aion bad i>een secured from Secretary Lceb and the President personally. Every moving picture and stereoacopie concern in the country bad not only sought thla permission, but brlt>es were offered Jake Borah and John Goff. tbe Preal- dent's guides, if arrangements could be made to smuggle in a camera operator. The ranch- men and cowlK>ys heard of this offer and took great pleasnre in anticipating wtiat would bap- pen It a camera operator left the raUroad camp. So atrlct waa thla rule about persona going into the mountains that even the newspaper men attached to the President's peraanal party were not permitted to leave the hotel to go out oo the road to meet Mr. Roosevelt. Two of them did start, however, and to this violation of instruc- tions is blamed the trouble. They took with them MIfs Oertmile Dimn nf Glenwood Springs, who had been very attentive to the strangera during the month of idienesa. Tbe associated press man offered Miss Dunn hia borae to ride with the President, and Miss Doim immediately annexed herself to the party and got Into nearly every picture made of the hnntera. A thoosand or more plates were snapped along the road, and, with few exceptions, tbey all got the woman in view, and the next day the secret service men ordered the plates destroyed, or so fixed that Miss Dunn's face conld not be seen. Then the moving picture film was submitted for inspec- tion and It n«a Ulcewise sa pg r eawd. much t» cC tke SilyaBope H. B. Bndtwalter, their western agent, boa been with tbe Selig Oo. for several yeeia. aai to his management la due moat of the Oolorado motion pictures exlilbited all over tbe worid. For many yeara be was connected with tbe newapapeta of Denver, and at tbe same time waa proprietor of an extensive photographic establishment that made a specialty of large railroad pictures. Thla grew ao rapldUy that tha paper end of the Income was dropped, and mo- tion pictnrea added to the plant, ao that now it is the moat extenalve and important weat of the Mlsonrl river. In addition to making the negatlvee for the lllma, Bnckwalter eootiola a a summer park dreoit In the west supplying attractions, mainly of a pictorial nature.
