PERILs OF ELEPHANT HUNT
Hunters More Afraid Of Stampede
Than of Being Attacked
by Huge Beasts.

We were now in the bend OF the
Niger, and approaching Lake Man
gave, a fine sporting country, writes
Capt A. H. W. Haywood in the Wide
World Magazine. Here l spent near
ly three weeks. shifting my little camp
as circumstances dictated. 1t was
near the site of an inundated village
that l made my headquarters for ele-
plants. These fine beasts used to come
and drink at the lake every three or
four days, and l was fortunate enough
to get two good tuskers here. My first
view of these animals was a never-to-
be-forgotten one. 1t was beautiful
moonlight night, and l had sent out
my hunters In different directions to
bring me early news of elephants COM
ing to drink at the lake, which is a
very large one. Suddenly a man ap-
peared, saying that herd was ap-
preaching rapidly, and soon l heard
the thud of multitude of huge feet

Oddities of Justice.

That the whole theory Of penal
codes is practically unsound and op-
posed to the modern conceptions Of
the relation Of the state to crime, is
the contention of Eugene Smith OF the
New York bar, writing in the May
number of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. Illustrating the abb
surdity and disparity between penalty
for crimes in different states, Mr..
Smith says: .The average sentence
for perjury In Florida IL ten years, in
Maine one year: for larceny. In Della
ware ten years. In the District Of Co
lumbia ten months: the penalty for
arson in Pennsylvania is twice that Of
burglary. but In Connecticut the guilt
Of burglary is twice that of arson; the
guilt of counterfeiting in Ohio is twice
that OF perjury, but in Rhode Island
the guilt of perjury is twice that Of
counterfeiting.

WILSON LOSING
GROUND IN union

ELIZABETH, May N.-Former State
Committeeman Peter Egenolf declared in
an interview yesterday that Gov
ernor Wilson is 50 per cent.
weaker in Union county than he
was two months ago, and inti-
mated that this growing weakness will
continue until the Presidential primary
election on May %. Mr.. Egenolf has
consistently opposed the Governor ever
since he entered public life, and will I'M
doubleday support Peter j. MeGurk, the
anti-Wilson candidate for delegate to the
Democratic national convention. The
former State committeeman said q good
word for James J. Potts, one of the VIII
son candidates, but scored J.. T.. Russell,
who entered the race for Wilson delegate
at the eleventh hour. Potts filed his Pc
tition weeks before Russell did, and the
general sentiment is that he should have
had 10 opposition from the Wilson sup
porters. Russell is being severely criti-
cised for his candidacy, and 1t is freely
predicted that he will get practically no
support In this city.
The contest between Potts and Russell
gives McGurk an excellent opportunity
to win in Union. 1t is conceded that he
will run close to Potts in this city and
his chances for polling a majority vote
In the county are good. He is making
an active campaign and visiting all sec
tons of the district. He is confident that
he will poll a heavy vote in Morris
County, where he will be greatly assisted
by Freebooter Frank c.. Garlic, of Madi-
son. the anti Wilson candidate there.
The secretary of state. Mt the s~olicita-
ton of Russell, yesterday notified County
Clerk James c. Calvert that the ~latter's
name should be put In the same bracket
with those of Potts and William l.. r..
Lynd, of Dover, who are considered the
regular Wilson candidates.
