ST0ECKEL PLANS
 CHANCE IN LAWS
Would Limit Passengers in
 Motor Vehicles in Future

Hartford, July cS R)-Motor Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel said last night that the operation of asscnger-carrying motor vehicles. such as the admittedly crowded truck which crashed in Rockville Thursday night resulting in the deaths of three and the stampede Of more than 30 injured and burned children. would be brought under closer supervision if legislation now being prepared by his department is successful at the next session of the general assembly.
 No Restriction
 Under the law at present. there is no restriction on the number of pas sengers carried in trucks and busses except those operated on chartered lines by public service companies. Except for the usual requirements in all motor vehicles practically the only restriction on motor vehicles passengers for hire is that they do not compete with the char tered companies.
 Widespread Criticism
 Widespread criticism of the man. ncr in which children are herded in- 10 trucks and busses on tobacco and carried 10 and from their work was heard from several official and private sources today.
 Busy With Problem
 Mir Stoeckel said that his depart ment bad been busy with the prob lem for some time since he feels that the safety factor. or the lack of if. is being increasingly serious as motor vehicles come into more common use as passenger carriers.
 Would Limit Number
 The legislation he contemplates would limit the number of passen- gers in all vehicles. according to their size. For instance. the maxi- mum number in the ordinary sized motor car would be six.

neuver the horses and the machine around. Add to their worries the fact that the thermometer that day was showing 10S degrees. During the afternoon the machine, with which the cutting is done. broke and it was necessary to remain idle for some time. This was good excuse to leave the place and the trio went back to town.
 Here another party asked them if they would care to work, but they didn't jump at the suggestion en- Enthusiastically. They finally decided to try it again and worked for four days together On the following Sum- day, the trio left. and also broke up, the Draper Loys deciding to stay in the vicinity and Mir. Jordan going to Salina, but with one view in his mind--to get back home. From Salina he started on the long trek to Kansas City.
 While on his way, two men dressed in the conventional garb of the farmer stopped to chat with him. One appeared like a farmer, but the other had the appearance of a city dweller. The trio then moved on towards Kansas City and on the way the fellow who appeared to be farmer asked his compan- ion if he had knife, as he wished to cut off sore finger nail. The other promptly produced a small knife and gave it to his friend, who after many attempts could not open the blade, Whereupon the oth- CT bet him a dollar that he could open it while he counted to 25. The bet was on and consequently the farmer boy lost the money as the other fellow opened it with ease.
 "He then came up to me-" Mir. Jordan went on, and told me that there was trick to it, showing me how it was done. He suggested that bet against the farmer fellow that 1 could open it and in that way l coud make some money He even said he would bet $50 that I could open it, if I would also bet. The other fellow laughed and said tNt Ec didn't have $50, whereupon the city chap pulled out a roll of money, bigger than a fist His idea was 10 make me bet with him and then have a try to open the knife. AL though he showed he how it was done, I figure that there was some thing else to if; that the knifo wouldn't open no matter how long l tried. ] would consequently lose the bet, my money going to the farmer lad. The other chap would also give up his lost share to the winner and then after they left me. they would split up the proceeds.
 "As We walked on. they tried to induce me to open the knife and went as far as asking me how much money l had. whereupon l turned tC them and told them that our ways lay in different directions and if they wouldn't keep on going l would try other methods of getting rid Of them. They needed my threat and without uttering another word

College Man Travels t,@0 Miles

Fifteen hundred miles at cost of less than $10. all through the cour- tesy of automobilists who are will ing to give a stranger a litt-that 5 the record of Charles w. Jordan, who has arrived in this city after an cventful journey in less than five days from Kansas City, Mis- souri. No part of the trip was made by bus, trolley or train.
 Mir. Jordan, with two friends, II. K. Draper Jr.. and Roger B. Drap- CT, of Canton. Mass. all students of Colby University, Maine, started on a trip to the wheat fields in Kansas in a 1918 Lizzie" for the purpose of securing work there during har- vest time. The party left on June 96 and arrived on July in Salina, Kansas, about 100 miles west of Kansas City, in the heart of the wheat belt. The astounding fact is that all through the trip the party experienced no difficulty with the prehistoric" machine and had but one flat tire.
 Upon reaching Salina, they lost no time in inquiring for work and were told that there was plenty in a town known as Hill City. After mak- ing due inquiry as to its location they reached it after a 30 mile de- tour through prairie roads. which for the most part were flooded. the water reaching the hub caps of the car. When the party finally reached its destination, three men inquired of them whether they were looking for work. This was great, the boys thought and without hesitation ac- cepted the job. They were hungry and wanted to get bite in the To- cal restaurant--at least what was called restaurant, but their en- ployers dissuaded them. proposing meal at the farm. This was asree- able to the trio and upon reaching the farmhouse, they were given meal.
 Reports Food Not Tasty
 'I don't know what it Was,' Mr. Jordan says. but certainly we wouldn't dare call it food here in tho East. It was terrible" Continu- ing his story, Mir. Jordan said that immediately after they had eaten what could be eaten, they were talk on to the fields, given a team of horses and told to reap the harvest of wheat. This was something Lew to them as none of the trio had ever driven a team and especially team hltched to reaper, which necessi- tates an experienced hand to ma

TEXAS VOTE TODAY
 SEEMS LIGHT ONE
Democratic Primary ArousS
 Little Interest

Dallas, Tex, July 2S CT-Despite fevered concern over national poli- tics which has kept the state in a political ferment since the Houston convention. a light vote was forecast in the states democratics primary election today.
 Chief interest obtained in the campaigns for United States senator. governor and lieutenant governor. the last of which has invoked inter- est because the name of State Sena- tor Thomas B. Love has been left off the ballot in some counties be- cause of his declaration he would bolt the national party ticket. Five candidates. including a wom- in his fight for reelection. They arc Representative Thomas Connally, Representative Thomas l.. Balton, Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunningham and Col. Alvin NJ. Owsley. past national commander of the American Legion, and Jeff McLemore.
 Senator Mayfield has been assail- cd in the campaign on the grounds he voted against the Walsh resolu- tion providing for investigation of public utilities.
 Governor Dan Moody is opposed for reelection by Louis J. Wardlaw, Judge w. F. Hawkins and Mrs. Edith E. Wilmans. the last two of whom have declared they will not support the democratic national ticket in November. The names of 1 Judge Hawkins and Mrs. Wilmans likewise have been barred from the primary ballots in several counties. but they have insisted their names would be written in.
 Moody's campaign has been based on claims of economy and efficiency and on the grounds that former Governor James F.. Ferguson. long a power in the state, is backing Wardlaw az a means of being re- turned to political power. Moody succeeded Marian A. c'MaD Fergu- son who was elected governor in 1924 following her husbands im- peachment.
 Besides Love. Lieutenant Barry Miller is opposed by J. D. Parnell, 1T. l.. Darwin and John D. Mccall. Miller and Parnell have announced they will support Governor Smith, and attacked Love for his utilization with bolting democrats, who have formed a state organization to car ry the state into the republican col umn in November.
 Candidate receiving majority today will have their names placed on the November general election ballot. Where no majority is given the two leading candidates will enter a run-off primary August 25. Democratic nomination usually has been the equivalent of election. Republicans meet today in pre- cinct conventions, preliminary to the state convention at Fort Worth August 14. where candidates will be named. Under state laws republi- cans do not hold primaries. because the party failed to poll 100000 votes in the 1926 state elections.

his game before the game got him.
 Surprised Bear May Attack

easily escape, and then failed to get his game before the game got him. Surprised Bear May Attack If sportsman runs into a bear at close quarters the element of surprise enters and the brute will probably attack. If he gets between q mother and her cubs. or injures a cub, he is in for a party from which he is sure to come off second best if he loses his nerve or his gun jams. If he wounds a bear, neal by. the chances are that the bear will attack and it is difficult to stop the animal even with a high-powered rifle. If it is wounded at some dis tance the bear will try 10 get away but woe to the gunner who follows too close as the bear will often hacktrack and step to one side awaiting, in ambush. the man who has hurt him. Probably the great est percentage of accidents IS caused by the overeagerness of the hunter who has wounded an animal and presses the chase into alders or brush where he comes upon the wounded brute awaiting him. The vicious element of the Kodiak, then. is his cunning in meeting attack when necessary. He will outwit an unMary hunter. beating him at the game he has chosen himself. It takes an average of five shots to kill one of the kodiaks. Very often a dozen or so are placed in his body before he succumbs. though sometimes one well placed shot is all that is needed.
 Most of the trappers do not hunt Kodiak. for several reasons. Chief Of these is the fact that the game is not worth the candle. The skins have no commercial value and Alaskan game authorities. realizing that they have a drawing card with which to entice outside sportsmen. have so adjusted their laws that bear skin is useless to a native un- less he wishes a rug. He cannot sell it, ship it out of the country or even give it away unless the recipient periures himself when he takes it 'outside." He has a wholesome re- spect for the brutes, sometimes he actually fears them. and he lets them alone unless he is placed in such a position. which occasionally happens, that he has to kill or be killed.
 Excepting for the occasional sportsman from "outside," then, the Kodiak roams the snowfields and the valleys, monarch of all he sur veys. He has no enemies except man and his own kind and he knows it. He will avoid man if pos sible and fight like a terror when he has to do so.
 But, this tale is winding out to such length that question wheth- CT the interest of the most devoted follower of wild life is surviving. Therefore I shall discontinue it for the time being and endeavor to trace his habits in a future article

 From East St. Louis he got a ''lift' from a man from California and got as far as Terre Haute. In- diana, where he stopped in a hotel, while his good samaritan stopped in more expensive hostelry. They made arrangements. however. to meet in the morning. From there Mr. Jordan sent post card to his brother, A. Jordan Of this city. tell- ing him he would stop with him on his way back home to Auburn. Me. The card was received by his broth- CT just a few hours before his ar rival in New Britain, proving that he made fast time even though making the trip on "hitched" rides.
 From Cambridge. Ohio. the place to which he came with the man who brought him to Terre Haute, he made Wheeling, w. Va. in three short rides. While in Wheeling he met Q man from New York City, who was going home and they trav- eled together as far as State Col loge, just outside of Philadelphia. Expecting the man to take up his abode for the night in a hotel, Mr. Jordan foresaw losing continuous trip to New York. His companion however, who was a middle-aged man suggested that they both camp in the open for the night as he would like to bring back memories of olden days when he used to make trips to the mountains. This was more than Mir. Jordan expected and they parked on top of mountain and made their quarters in an old barn for the night. The next morn- ing found them on their way to New York City, where the partner ship dissolved.
