TOPIC OF LECTURE
Speaker Illustrates With
Movie Views His Trip
Through African Areas.

It's mostly boots, boots. boots" if
you would traverse Africa from Cairo to
the Cape, according to Capt. Carl Won
Hoffman, who told of his trek last night
before members of the National Geo.
graphic Society at the Washington Au-
ditorium, and showed the first COM
pIete motion picture record over the
entire route.
Boots because, save for sectors OF
the projected Cape-to-Cairo Railway
and occasional boat lifts on rivers and
lakes, its walking over much of the way
The camel the horse and the llama may
provide travel aid in Asia and Africa
but in Africa its footwork for traveller
and porter alike. But the porters. down
IN Tanganyika and the Belgian Congo
are cheap; ranging from pense down
to 2 pense day.
Therefore, the boots must be well
broken in, also they must be high to
protect the traveller against the puff
adder found in his path, and they must
be oiled inside lest insects enter which
would cause infection.
These precautions taken, travel in
Africa has fewer dangers than are gen.
orally believed, Capt. Won Hoffman said
The animals are more afraid of human
beings than the humans are of the
animals. He described his major pre-
caution as that of whistling along
the way. And" he added. "t1e ami
mails invariably took the hint"
Many of the best motion pictures
shown were those taken from decks of
boats including elephants and zebras
in Uganda, and hippopotami and mon
keys farther south.
The speaker even removed some of
the dread generally felt for the tsetse
fly by saying that only about one in
a thousand was infected, and it was
only the infected ones which carried
the dread sleeping sickness. Mosquitoes
In certain malarial regions can be
guarded against by nightly doses of
quinine.
Travel afoot was at the rate of eight
nine and even fourteen miles day, no
great hardship, and in the hotter parts
of the continent the explorer pressed
on by night.
But near the equator elevations were
found where it was cold, owing to the
elevation. One Of these ascents was a
giant sen1i-active crater, which afford
ed remarkable motion pictures, within
its vast circumference of nearly seven
miles
Capt Won Hoffman is a native OF
Riga. and at the age of IA years left a
military school in Russia to join the
army in the Far East. There he was
wounded during the retreat from Muk-
den. Later he made his way to Eng
land, thence to the United States, ar
irving here still attired in the Russian
Army uniform. His first suit of Aneri-
can ''civies" was purchased on the Bow
cry, in New York. He became a pho
tograp1er on New York newspapers
and in 1912 went to Cuba on a special
mission, where he obtained the first mo-
ton pictures Of the Atlantic fleet ir
action.
Since then he served in the Ameri.

B0RAH WILL PRESS
SHIP LAW REVISION
Senator Believes Recodifcation
Would Be Step to Naval Dis
armament Farley.
BY the Associated Press.


Action will be sought lat this session
by Chairman Borah of the Senate
foreign relations committee on his reso-
luton declaring it to be the sense of
the Senate that a conference be called
for the recodification of maritime laws
in times of war.
Senator Borah announced yesterday
he would propose the resolution as an
amendment to the pending naval con-
struction bill. and he had reason to
believe it would be adopted.
The proposal goes hand in hand, he
said, with recent declaration in Great
Britain by Lord Robert Cecil for a re-
vision of the maritime law. He also
believed 1t would serve as a prelim-
mary step to naval disarmament con-
ference.
Senator Borah said apparently the
seas were now left subject to no def
mite rule save that of force and COM
merce to no ultimate protection save
that of battle fleets" He would have
the law define particularly in respect
to what constitutes contraband of war
and in what regard neutral ships are
exempt from attack.
The resolution was proposed last Ses-
sion, but was disregarded by the Sem
ate naval committee in reporting to
the Senate the cruiser construction bill,
to which 1t will be proposed as an
amendment on the floor by the Idaho
Senator.

Man Who Asks Apology When Policeman
Calls His Home Joint Not Disorderly

Blatchley, who lives with his fam
lily, resented the question but drove
away without comment. Thinking it
over. however, he decided to return
to ask for an apology. Upon doing
this, Policeman Boyd pulled his gun
and broke window in the cab, accord
ing to Blatchley.
The officer admitted asking about
"the joint" but claimed Blatchley was
disorderly because he used profane Ian
guage in demanding the apology.

will constitute majority of the

the city of Seattle the administra-
ton of the Board in the matter
of the construction and mainten-
ance of the highways of King
County located in the country dis
tricts. Mr.. Brinton is as much of
Il Seattleite as is Mr.. Evans and
will be, no doubt, as much sub.
servient to the influences of Seat
ties interests as will be the mem

If Mr., Brmton is elected he will
be elected by Seattle votes and will
naturally be under the persuasion
OF Seattle influences. This condi-
ton of affairs evidently was not
intended by the law constituting
the Board of Commissioners.
Under the administration of the
Board of Commissioners for in
stance falls the fixing of the tax
levy for what is known as the
Road and Bridge fund or that fund
that is expended by the Board
annually for the maintenance of
arterial highways and bridges in
King County. This fund amounts
to approximately 100000 per
year, of which Seattle pays about
$50 and the country districts the
other l5%o. About $50 however of
this fund is expended in the up

terlal highways that extend thru
the municipality. Conceiving this
condition the lawmakers saw in
their wisdom the ACCESSIBILITY of
authorizing the election of one
member of the Board from the
district of North Seattle, one mem
Der from Seattle and one member
from the district south of Seattle,
so that the control of the Board
would be in two members from the
country districts.
Unfortunately the South Dis
trict extends into the city of Seat
tie and this enables this fundamen-
tai theory upon which the law has
been based to be shattered by the
possible election of two members
of the Board from Seattle by one
OF these members living technical
ly in the South District but actu-
ally in Seattle. This question is
confronting the voters in the on.
coming primary and election. Mr..
Evans, no doubt, will be the mem
Der of the Board elected from Seat
tie, while Mr.. Brinton another
resident of the city of Seattle, is
a candidate for Commissioner from,
the South District. AS suggested
he is resident theoretically of
the South District, but broadly
speaking and for all intents and
purposes he is resident of the
city of Seattle,

bridges of the country districts

1879 is expended on the connect
ing links inside the city of Seattle,
yet the apportionment of the levy
and expenditure is evidently equi-
table and just because Seattle with
its huge population Burns up"

ways and bridges III the country
districts.
What the condition of affairs
will be in the future if admin
stored by Seattle interests one
can only conjecture. viii such
conditions prove beneficial to the
country districts? | don't believe
so and therefore fail to see how
any country resident in King
County having the interests of his
own local territory at heart can
so vote as to turn over to the city
OF Seattle the majority of the
members of the Board of County
Commissioners and be contented
with the administration of his own
rural affairs by Board of County
Commissioners who are for all in
tents and purposes residents of
Seattle and evidently subject to
all of the controlling influences
that that big city is able to exert
and extend.
The writer is not politician
and only uses politics as vehicle
for the proper administration of
the affairs of government, and
therefore is not subject to the BIZ
asses and prejudices that seem to
govern some, but as taxpayer
