of One of Band of Huge Animals, Whose
Trampling Feet Give Warning of Ven
geance-Natives' Awe of His Hig III
ness Big Feet '-ADaring Exploit-The
Story of Broken Tusk-A Path Of
Destruction-An Unequal Fight. :.

Last week Mr.. Hubbard wildly
described an encounter with a hip
popotamus in one Of the small riv-
ers Of Northern Rhodesia. He had
set out with seven natives with
the intention of capturing baby
hippo.
Coming upon % hippos in a pool.
Mr.. Hubbard fired at two and be-
heved that both shots had missed
their targets. Then while the par
~ stood waist-deep in the pool
awaiting developments, one of the
natives dived and slipped a raw
hide moose around the leg Of
hippo, which proved to be Of gi-
gantic size.
Immediately the animal began
pulling the eight men holding the
rope into deeper water. They all
were in imminent danger OF being
drowned when, by super-human
strength. they checked its progress
and pulled II toward the shore.
Once again in shallow water, the
animal charged Nciously and Mr..
Hubbard, only a. few yards away.
shot into it's gaping mouth, killing
1t almost instantly.
Mr.. Hubbard is not primarily a
hunter or killer Of wild animals. but
rather collector. His interest
in four-footed. winged and finny
things began early in life, and was
increased during his undergradu-
ate days at Harvard by visits to
the Boston Zoo.

Commission Decides Value of Lives of Successful Mem

between poverty and comfortable
living. To the children in some cases
the decisions will mean the differ
ence between leaving school at an
early age and completing their college
education. The judges, realizing the
responsibility of their work, have con-
sidered every bit of evidence avail
able in each case. and the decisions
have been masterpieces of thorough
ness.
Dozens Of American ships were sunk
by mines and submarines during and
before the entry Of the Gnited States
into the war. In all of these cases.
where claims have been presented,
awards have been made If the evil
dence showed that the loss had been
suffered by American citizens or cor
porations and complete restitution
had not been made through insurance.
An interesting case arose over the
sinking of the American steamship
Kerwood by a mine in 1919. after the
armstice was signed. Germany claim
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-08-29

the final total of awards made will
be slightly over tenth Of the orig
inal claims. Awards ranging from
81 to several million dollars have
been given.
DROBABLY the most interesting
cases coming before the tribunal
were those growing out of the sinking
Of the Lusitania. OF the 1877 Ameri-
cans aboard the ship at the time of
the sinking, 1913 were lost and many
others were injured and had property
destroyed.
The first and largest Lusitania
death claim to come before the com
mission was that for the death of
Albert Hopkins, president OF the New
port News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
Co. His widow and daughter received
an award Of 100000. This Is the
largest single amount ever awarded
for the death Of an individual in
the history OF international arbitra-
ton
The commission. in this decision,
laid down the rules that were fol
lowed in all death cases coming be-
fore It. 1t decided that the measure
OF damages would be the amount OF
damage incurred by the American
claimants due to the death of the de-
ceased, and not the value of the life
Of the deceased. The main factor
considered was the probable earning
capacity OF the deceased during the
number OF years that standard life
insurance tables showed he would
probably live However. TO receive
any award at all, the claimants had
to show that the deceased would have
made q larger contribution to them
in money or services If he had lived
than they received from his estate.
Thus the claim Of the relatives Of
Alfred Vanderbilt. whose estate was
worth $15,00O.0G0, was dismissed on
the ground that il was not shown
that he had any earning capacity
outside Of the income OF the estate
left him by his father. The relatives
did not show that they would have
received more from him in a pecuni-
AIRY way than they received from his
estate.
In some of the Lusitania death cases
the judges had to set a value on
the life Of a wife to her husband. This
was a weighty question that was set
tied only after weeks of deliberation
and investigation. The social scale OF
the claimants. whether the wife had
any earning capacity herself, whether
the husband was forced to employ
housekeeper to take her place. the
estimate OF the Inentai anguish suf-
fered by the husband and the value
of the wife's services to her children
were some of the factors that had to
be considered. Depending on these
and other factors. an amount rang
ing from $4,000 to 1000 was award
ed for the death of wife.
The claim Of Justus Miles Forman,
the novelist. was dismissed because
the relatives lost nothing In pecu-
MARY way through his death. He~-

the elephant between the shoulder

up the boys they all smothered

All Of these elephants became tame
very quickly. Three days after the
last one was captured they were led
to the camp. A day or two after their
arrival there they had saddles put on
them and could be ridden. They fed

a claim for SOS 900 for damage to en-
gines and hull through this excessive
speed. The umpire decided that if
the damage could be proved to be the
direct result Of escaping from the
submarine Germany would be liable.
but held that the proof had not been
satisfactorily made.
COME claims for amounts under s25
have been granted Most Of these
are for property taken from Ameri-
can prisoners of war in German
prison camps. In one case SIS was
awarded for watch taken by a
guard from an American officer; in
another S12 for three fountain pens
taken from a private under similar
circumstances. These claims have
been considered with the same pains
taking care that marked the decisions
In cases involving millions. The COM
mission recognized that if these small
cases should be allowed to slip
through unquestioned a multitude Of
unsupported and possibly dishonest
claims would be presented.
Under the treaty creating the com
mission Germany was not held liable
for losses resulting from the direct
prosecution Of the war.

count Of ill-health. Judge Edwin B.
Parker was appointed to that impor-
tant post. which he still holds. During
the war Judge Parker was chairman
OF the Priorities Board. which was
charged with the duty Of organizing
all private industry on a wartime
basis. When the armistice was
signed he was sent to Europe as chair
man Of the United States Liquidation
Commission. which had charge Of dis
posing Of all surplus war material in
Europe belonging to the United
States. In 10 months he recovered
1928, 900, 900 for the United States
from material which many officials
thought would be a total loss. At

Storks DAMAGE Line.

To save a 60,000.volt transmission
line In Morocco from being wrecked
by hordes OF storks the French com
pany owning IL has been forced to
build special perches along the entire
line from Casablanca TO Rabat. The
big birds discovered as soon as the
line was built that the steel masts
supporting the wires were ideally de-
signed as supports for stork nests,
giving much firmer foundations than
a tree or a roof. The huge nests, h,s,-
ever. interfered seriously with the in
sulation of the line The special
perches and smooth shields over the
masts ended the trouble.

ed that. as the war was over, the sink
ing was not an act OF hostility. but
one over which she had no control.
The umpire decided that although the
mine might have been planted by the
allied governments, the sinking was
the direct result Of the war of aggres
sion started by Germany, and that
complete restitution must be made
Actual fighting was brought closest
to the United States in August. 1918,
when n German submarine appeared
off the New Jersey coast and sank
several American vessels almost within
sight Of the New Jersey Summer re-
sorts. The captain of the sMohegan,
an American steamship, heard the
firing and made out what he correctly
assumed to be a submarine some miles
distant, The steamship Immediately
turned back to port and was pursued
by the submarine for a distance Of
10 miles. Safety valves were shut off
and all possible steam was crowded
into the boilers.

Then. as Mrs. Walker told the
story, this old COW spotted a bunch
of natives yelling on an ant hill and
