ton of photographs of wild animals in
their native haunts. 1t meant days of
tramping along the small streams that
run from the Kinibatangan River into the
heart of the forests, hours of-waiting for
an animal to come out into the light, but
in the end it was worth while adventure.
Apes and monkeys (the difference is
that apes do not have tails) were always
plentiful, so were the birds. A small
wah-wah ape was as much interested in
the workings of camera as any stage
beauty, and allowed the camera to be
brought very close. Another time it was
possible to photograph gibbon as it took
its daily exercise. The acrobatics of this
particular ape were more thrilling than
the circus stunts to be seen in more civili-
zed lands. Another ape, half-grown
orang-outang, was much interested in the
camera, and was so bold that Johnson had
no difficulty capturing it. 1t became so
tame that it was the pet of the expedition
and was brought back to the United
States.
Several herds of wild pigs, animals as
large as young cattle, were photographed,
and numerous species of wild deer. Trop-
ical birds were common camera studies.
The climaxing adventure of all was the
elephant hunt. Elephants were not un-
common, but they were extremely difficult
to photograph 1t finally required 20 days
of real work to get some good elephant
pictures, 20 days of rushing through the
jungle tangles-and of being disappointed.
The only time that elephants can be
found in the open spaces is early in the
morning. for during the middle of the day
they retreat into the depths of the forest,
where it is cool and dark. Finally, the
party came close to small herd, so close
that they could hear the huge beasts
thrashing about in the underbrush. 1t
was night, and the chief native hunter led
the way to forest track down which the
beasts would go toward the water. A
fallen tree crossed the trail, and Johnson
mounted his camera on the trunk. Then
they waited for daylight. Finally, the
chief native hunter went out to see what
the animals were doing, and he came fly
ing back.
In few minutes three elephants came
crashing out of the underbrush. One of
them sensed the man and his camera, and
trumpeted. 1t was cry to strike terror
into any heart. The two other animals
lifted their heads and jointed in the trum-
peting. Then suddenly the three beasts
carged madly. Johnson ran and climbed
tree. The elephants rushed toward the
trees, not sure where he had gone. For
four hours they circled, trumpeting and
thrashing about and then suddenly turned
off into the jungle. After the hunt John
son ended the trip.
And what will Johnson do next? Well,
there are men and beasts in Africa that no
man has ever seen. Adventure is not dead.
There are still some thrills left

space acquired by long use. The
land belongs to the railroad.
This is a question to be decided

MATAWAN lake
MOVE REVIVED
Matter Seems to Rest Entire.
Iy With Borough Council.
Some Action Taken.

MATAWAN, Aug. 10.-Whether
Matawan is to have a lake this win
ter or not. seems to lay entirely in
the hands of the borough council.
Jacob r. Lefferts, for the Matawan
Lake Committee, Inc, has informed
the council that money enough TO
build the dam for a lake on the east
side of the borough has been sub
scribed and that plans have been
drawn for the dam and it is even
said hat a contractor has been Sc
cured to rush the work to completion
as soon as the council can condemn
one piece of property that stands
in the way of flooding the large area
involved.
This property is known as the
Barney property and is situated at
the head of the lake in Main street,
near the Matawan station of the New
York & Long Branch railroad. With
the building of the dam and the
flooding of the ravine, the lower por-
ton of this house and considerable
of the property surrounding it will
be flooded with water. 1t is said the
owners will not consider selling the
Committee, Inc, through Mr.. Lef-
Is has dohVu liC uiiN W WI
denim it for park purposes.
Sometime ago Mr.. Lefferts APP
peared before the council, and asked
that the property be condemned and
at that time a suggestion was made,
that the council be given proof that
the lake committee had the fowage
rights of the other property situated
along the bank of the lake. This
has been obtained and according to
Mr.. Lefferts will be presented to the
council at the next regular meeting.
Councilman William V. Clark. on
Tuesday night, requested that addi-
tiCnal data be given the council con-
corning the depth of the water SO
that some idea might be obtaiEed
concerning the water and the pro-
posed sewer which is to be laid
along the bank of the lake.
Borough Attorney Elmer H. Geran
was instructed to furnish the coun-
c:l with the necessary procedures in
connection with the condemning of
the property and he assured the
council that he would have this
ready by the next meeting. Indica-
tons at this time are that as soon
as the council takes up the con-
domination of the property work will
be started on the dam. 1t is esti-
mated that the property will cost
the borough in the neighborhood OF
$4,000.

FRELlNGHUYSEN AIDS
IN BIG TARIFF FIGHT

In discussing the failure of United
States Senator Joseph Frelinghuy-
ser to appear at the rally yesterday,
party men explained his absence ny
the statement that the senator was
compelled to be at Washington to
participate in the tariff fight that
ended last night with the agricul-
tural tariff block and the retention
of hides on the free list.
The committee on finance had iec-
commended a duty of four cents a
pound on dried hides and two cents
"a pound on raw hides, in the face
of a protest from practically the en-
tir. leather goods manufacturing
industry. Senator Lodge, who led
the fight to keep hides on the free
list. declared that If the industry,
Of which raw hide is the main basic
raw material, did not desire protec-
ton.
Senator Frelinghuysen was n OF
the twenty-three senator's who sup
ported Lodge and defeated the
measure. The vote was % to 10 on
the Republican side and it is under
stood that the small margin of vic
tory explained Senator Frelinghuy-
sens absence from the Middlesex
outing. Senator Edge also supported
Lodge.

0nDGE TALK
AGAIN STARTS
(uId Connect Up Port Rich
Iond to Bayonne and Vici-
nifty. Preliminary Work.

WORTHWHILE, Aug. 10:-Con-
derable actuation has again been
|Arted for the erection of a bridge
cross the Kill-von-Kull to connect
Fort Richmond and Rowland Hook,
1taten Island, to Bayonne and E,liz-
Abethport, N. ]. The most recent
development in the matter has been
resolution passed by the Pott
Hsichmond Board of Trade which
Fails upon Borough President John
Ia. Lynch and Mayor Hylan to adj
vocate the appropriation of $4,000
TO meet the conditional %appropria-
ton of a similar amount by counties
in New Jersey to carry on the pre-
liminary work. The $4,000 appro-
priated by New Jersey counties was
Sor preliminary work in ascertaining
the feasibility of a bridge.
The resolution also sets out that
the building of a tunnel or bridge
between New Jersey and Staten
Island will increase the value of real
estate on the island, u more
people to make Staten Island their
home and increase the revenues of
the city and borough and lower the
cost of supplies to consumers on
Staten Island.
The general opinion in all parts
of the island is that only a bridge
at some point will be able to give
service to the immense automobile
traffic between New York and the
shore resorts. Ferry facilities, it is
pointed out, are inadequate to ham
die the traffic that exists at present
and which is growing greater each
day.
At the present time the only con-
nection between Staten Island ana
New Jersey is by ferryboats, and it
Is commended that an account of
ferry delay much of the traffic that
might come through the island is
turned into other routes. 1t is claim
ed that although many motorists
would rather use the route through
the island between Manhattan and
the shore resorts, many now use the
longer route through New Bruins
wick and other points in order to
overcome the long wait for trans
portation here.
Nearly two years ago the first
efforts were made to have a bridge
such as is advocated at this time
erected and many conferences were
held which resulted in an agree
ment between the two authorities
for the appropriation of money with
which to carry on the preliminary
work. The New Jersey counties have
already appropriated their money
for this work and it is likely that
action will begin as soon as the New
York appropriation is made.

At CITY PARKS
Rest Room Now Has Been
Provided at CaIedonian.
Park.

A general movement is under way
bv the park board to improve the
various parks of the city. Many i'm
provements have already been mad
and others are planned which 1t is
thought will give the city a series
of parks of which it can be proud.
Among the biggest improvements
is that of the opening OF a rest
room at Caledonian Park at the foot
OF High street. The two-story resi-
dence on the park property has been
entirely r~edecorated and remodeled
on the interior. giving to the visitors
at the park a much needed rest
room. Mrs. Charles Post has been
placed in charge of the building,
which has already proved to be very
popular.
Not only is this the first rest room
In the city, but it also affords shell
ter for those who happen to be
caught in the park in a storm. A
room has also been set aside in
which various refreshments may be
purchased, such as ice cream, fresh
milk and other things that are a de-
light to the children.
Work has been started at this park
on the erection OF a spray fountain.
Tho work of e~xcavating for the
IOuItldl1 is dlTcduy uIudi way - eHc
fountain itself may not be installed
Gpti. next season.
In order to improve the other
parks, Commissioner Edward Lem
bcke has requested that persons
who desire to get rid of dirt and
ashes dump same at Hayes ana
Wonderland Park. 1t is the inten-
ton of the Park Board, according to
Mr.. Lembcke, to build a bulk head
at these two parks in order to re-
claim the land that has been wash
ed away by the action of the water.
1t is reported that action Will be
taken at the next meeting of the
Park Board to change the names or
Hayes and Wonderland parks. These
names are not considered desirable
and it is the intention of the Park
Beard to give them names more
in keeping with the past history. OF
the city. 1t has been suggested that
the parks be named after some OF
the pioneers of the city as a memo

WANTS DEBATE
Would Discuss Issues OF

ator FreIinghuySen.

NEWTON, Aug. 10.-George l..
speaking here last night again chal-
lerged Senator Joseph s. FREEING
huysen to meet him in debate. he
cora, who is opposing Frennghuysen
for the Republican nomination Tor
United States senator, called upon
his adversary to meet him on the
issues of the campaign and declared
his belief that Frelinghuysen dare
not face him. Record says Frelirg-
huysen knows that his record Will
not stand close scrutiny and that
the senator knows he cannot justify
his record. 5,
Some time ago Record challenged
Senator Frelinghuysen to meet u
in debate in order that each might
present his arguments as to what
should be the voters judgment on
Ff elinghuysen's record. II MAJ
had announced that he would ASK
for reelection "ou Ills record In
the senate and said ne was willihs
to rest his case with the people.
Record took up this challenge and
SAID he would tell the people about
what Frelinghuysen did in tn SEN
ate and that "Frelinghuysen VIII
soon be running away from his REG
ord, not on it"
The Progressive candidate then
preceded, in various statements
and speeches, to take FrellnghuyseE
10 task for his vote on the Gscn-
Cummins bill giving the ~raliroaGs
$500. 900 1000 from the United States
treasury and authorizing an in
crease in railroad rates at the same
time. He also attacked Frelinghny-
sens stand on the four-power treaty
ana on practically every matter III
which F'relinghuysen had cast a yote
dor.ng his term in the senate.
Record maintains that in every m
F'relinghuysen has voted Tor
the interests of the trusts and mon
cpolies. lie says that a review OF the
senator's actions in Washington re-
veal that he has never taken a stand
for the working people OF the coun-
try as against the moneyed powers
but. on the contrary, has TODD con-
sistently on the side of wealth and
monopoly in every contest.
Up to the present time Senator
F'relinghuysen has refused to discuss
the matter with his opponent, Saying
he intends to ignore him. rms at
titllde has driven many OF FREEING
huysen's former supporters to the

figures as Assemblywoman Mrs.

Mark M. Pagan of Jersey City, n
others Of the most important PRO

ment today calling upon the Repub-

that the senator refuses to submit

speech in Newark last night, James

IF it were not for the fact that
it would be humiliating to the cit
liens Of New Jersey to have a man
of the type Of Governor Edwards

thing for the cause of prohibition

is fighting for enforcement of the
law. II these men have failed in
their efforts to discredit the league

calibre hope to do?
Judged from the results OF the

MANY SEEK TRAFFIC CARDS

TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 10.-The
demand for traffic warning cards is
still heavy at the local police station.
Up to date 937 cards have been is
sued at the station house and more
applications for cards are being re-
ceived daily. Many of the cards have
had to be made out the second time
or corrections made on the original
cards. the reason for this being that
many of the applicants failed to have
the card made out by typewriter or
else pasted the wrong kind of photo
graph upon them. The photograph
must be the same as those used on
TIE regulation pass ports. The usual
snap shot photographs will not be
accepted.
