Companion of Young Woman Dying
 at a Hospital

Cleveland, O., July 27.-With a bullet wound just over his heart. a young man who is registered as Louis Weber, is said to be dying at Charity hospital. Back of the shooting is a mystery which the police of CIeve- land and Cleveland heights, a fash- lonable suburb where it occurred. mad not been able to solve early to. day. Weber had been walking in the heights with Miss Agnes Atkinson. the police say. The girl said that while they were sitting on the grass two men dashed through the bushes. She said the men seemed greatly ex- cited. One held a revolver in his hand and as he ran past them fired. The bullet struck the girls compan- ion, passing through his arm into his breast just above the heart. The men disappeared as quickly as they came. the girl said.

WALKERS PENALTY
Judge Eggleston is 0ulspokeD Against ihe Sentence That
 Was Given Him.

Hartford, July 27.-The sentence
 of William F. Walker, abscondine
 treasurer of the Savings bank of New
 Britain. is the chief topic of converse
 tion. Where two or three were gathered together it was a pretty safe
 bet that they were arguing not about
 base ball but about the sentence
 Laymen had many disputes over it
 Some figured it out that there was
 one term of from one to five years
 with three of five years each, making ! total of from sixteen to twenty years. There were others who fig
 ured the minimum at four years. AS
 a matter of fact the sentence was an
 indeterminate sentence of one to
 twenty years and it is possible, al-
 though not probable, that the pris-
 oner may be paroled at the end of one year. Walker is now 62 years old
 The sentence has provoked all kinds of criticism. Judge Arthur F. Eggleston, former states attorney, has never been an admirer of the indeterminate sentence law and he now admires it less than eyer be- fore, if that is possible.
 II don't approve of the law, or the sentence he said yesterday, in re- ply to a reporters question. He wasn't worried about Walker getting out in short order, but he thought that for moral effect the minimum should have been four or five years. Why, it isn't as big minimum as Walker had while he was gone," said the judge, who declared further that while he had no idea that Walker would leave Wethersfield soon at all, it wouldn't be because the board of parole lacked the power to let him out. That was what he objected to their having such power. He did not think 1t should be the business of the directors of the institution to decide such questions; that should be the business of the board of par dons. Judge Eggleston said that he took issue with those who looked upon a prison as a reformatory, rather than place of punishment.
 Although have lived within 10 miles of Wethersfleld for many years this is the first time 1 was ever in the town. said William F. Walker, the embezzler of the funds of the Savings bank of New Britain. Satur- day afternoon, as the big automo- bile in which he was being conveyed to the Connecticut state prison to serve the sentence imposed upon him earlier in the day by Judge Milton A. Shumway. turned into the yard at the prison. He made the statement to one of the officers ac- him. The sentence which Judge Shumway imposed is in law from l to 20 years. He could be paroled in a year from now Walker was received at the prison at 3:1O p. m. and is now con- vict No 2.13S.
 After being dressed in his prison suit, Walker was taken to a cell, where he spent the nigh. At 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning he turn ed out to breakfast with the other convicts. as he did at 12 for his dinner and at 6 for supper.
 When taken to the prison Walker the same degree of calmness and indifference which 1 characterized him during his ap- pearance in court, showing no ap- parent nervousness. He had, like he other Protestant prisoners, an- to attend service in the | ,hapel at 10:30 o'clock yesterday | but he did not avail him, 1 self of the opportunity.

THAT $1OO FINE.
Manager Durant Not Likely to Pass
 Over SheckeIs.

It is not likely that Harry Durant. manager of the local base ball team. will pay the $100 line as the result Of forfeiting the game to Hartford last week without making vigorous protest. When team refuses to abide by the decision of an umpire and leaves the field, according to the rules of the Con" league the team IS supposed to make good with 100 bills. But Manager Durant is of the opinion that the local aggregation re- ceived rather shabby treatment in Hartford on Friday and will hang onto his money. The rule has been broken in the past with immunity. the fine being suspended when the matter came up at league meet

The Call of the Jungle.
BY BERKELEY HUTTON,

Many time I've come back from trip leaving
half my men and all my ivory rotting in dead
ly African swamp, half dead with fever swearing
that I'm done with the business for good And some
bright day, in six months, three, the smell
of the jungle gets into my nostrs or the coughing
roar of lions chaenge-and that settles the
business. Back go again, knowing precisely what
is coming-the sweating days and the chilling
nights the torments of insects and of thirst, the
risks and hardships, and the privations. For once
Africa has laid her spell upon man, he's hers for
ever He'll dream of her--of the parched and bis
tered veldts he's crossed under the blazing sun
light; of the nights, those moonli haunted nights
when he's watched beside runway, waiting for the
game to come down to drink, and listened to the
ripple of the water on the flats, the steathly snap
ping of branches all around him, the scurry of
monkeys overhead; listened to the vast silence into
which all smaller sounds are cast as pebbles are
dropped into q pool-Everybo Magazine

CROSSING A J7REAM -
M7O THE c/ZIlXCLE ~

SELL upon MS parlor floor, has probably maid close
to $1,000 for it.
India is the only country in which elephants
are used for hunting. In Africa the elephant is
not tanned; he is captured almost solely for his
ivory But in India the elephant is used quite
entirely for hunting and working purposes
The excitement of tiger hunt begins long be-
fore tiger is even sighted The wild bees of
India build their hives in hanging position on
the limbs OF trees. Very often these drop down
ciose 10 the ground and the thick underbrush
hldes them from view. 1t is not nfrequent in
cldent OF these hunts for an elephant to calmly
walk into one of these hives and scatter the busy
inmates in all directions, whereupon the bees
quickly recover and seek revenge upon the clum-
sy elephant and his riders and all the other ele-
plants OF the party. Such an incident is a COM
mon occurrence that helps to enliven tiger hunt
and for the time being drives all thoughts of tiger
skins from the hunters minds The basket or how.
dab in which the hunter rides is another feature
that often lends excitement to hunt such as
no tiger could provide. The hunter, that is the
gentleman hunter, who has gone to India for the
sport, occupies the howdah This is very large
basket fastened to the elephants back by very
STRONG rope The spectacle reminds one of a
captain standing his bridge high above the
flashing waves The native sits on the elephants
neck, Or to follow the same figure of speech he
Is down on deck.
Now elephants are often skittish and liable
TO ny OFF in panic. They do this. quite forget
1ul OF the captain on the bridge and the result
is that the tiger hunter often has to cling with
both hands to the sides of the howdah and re
ceive severe shaking up as though he we're q
pebble in tin can. Nor is this without its dan.
gers Often when the elephant becomes manic
stricken he will charge into a jungle and tear
madly about until he drops with fatigue
Another danger is when an elephant gets caught
in a tropical mire and founders about At these
times the elephant will grope about for anything
he can reach, TO poke down under his feet to Get
firmer foothod. Small trees and branches are
thrown to him which he dexterously arranges with
his trunk and fore legs until he has built foun.
datlon upon winch he can rest. But at these
times the elephant Is not scrupulous in regard to

the material he uses. A
story is told in Asia of
an inexperienced hunter
who, when his elephant
was laundering about in
this way, thought he
would be doing it a SER
vice by dismounting. He
did so; whereupon the
elephant seeing likely
foundation material in
him, snatched him with
his trunk and buried him
in the mire.
And so, the actual IT,
ger dwindles into a minor
role when he is hunted
from the backs of ele-
plants. In fact, some
sportsmen pooh pooh the
idea of using elephants
