Returns from
African Hunt
^ Omaha Hunters Have Vivid
Tales of Jungles and Bring
Bark Many
Trophies.
Mr. and Mrs. E. John Brandeis ar
rived home Tuesday morning from
the Jungles of Africa and are in their
bungalow, atop the Brandeis stores.
Itself a civilised Jungle filled with
trophies of previous expeditions.
This vfall. slim, dark young mer
chant-prince and sportsman doesrf’t
boast.
"Any thrilling adventures?” he was
asked.
"Only one real thrill, I think," he
smiled. "I had lain in ambush near
the lion bait for several nights when
finally a lion appeared and I shot him
in the shoulder with a .405 winchester.
He fled and we followed his track the
next day for eight hours. We finally
found him and he came toward us
roaring, a terrifying sound. I could
say he charged us hut I don’t think
it was a charge. I put nine more
bullets into him before I knocked him
ifver.”
Rhino Hunt Child’s Play.
' "It must have been exciting to
hoot the rhinoceros?” said an inter
viewer.
•The young hunter's lip curled in
shorn.
"Nothing to it," he said. "A child
cbuld shoot a rhino. The rhino Is
yellow.' He won’t fight. In fact, a
'ion isn’t dangerous unless he’s
wounded.”
And here appeared Mrs. Brandeis.
i slim, blonde, dainty, smiling young
woman.
"My wife heat me shooting lions,"
-ays E. John proudly. "She got three.
I only got two.”
"Weren’t you terribly frightened?"
-he was asked.
“Oh, no," smiled the young hunt
ress. "I was in the ‘crow's nest' up
jri a tree whert I shot my first one.
»ut I really wasn't frightened when
1 killed any of them."
They saw elephants, also, hut as
none of them had tusks weighing 60
pounds they were not allowed to
shoot them.
Here s the last.
Besides her three lions. Mrs. Bran
leis shot a zera, a wildebeest, three
kinds of antelope and a waterbuck.
E. John shot, besides his lions, a
i hineroceros, two zebra, two wilde
beest, eight antelope, a waterbuck,
three monkeys, a leopard, three lm
paia, two oryx, three silver jackals
and two topi.
The skins and other trophies are
?n the way to Omaha.
Moving pictures were taken of the
hunt. One scene shows Mrs. Bran
deis shooting a lion and another
shows Mr. Brandeis pumping bullets
into the big rhino. He is having a
table top and a number of canes
made from the thick hide and some
umbrella stands from the fore feet
of the rhino.
Mike Canies Along.
And th( n there Is Mike, whom they
brought along. Milto is not a wild
animal, but a "regular fellow," as
both the Bramlelscs Bay. He is j
g^Ml'ing man with long, light hair. His
full name is Mike (Cottar and lie and
Ills brother. Pat, were guides on the
Brandeis expedition. They managed
the 67 native porters and guided the
expedition to the places where the
wild animals were.
"Mike was my buddy as well as
my guide,” said E. John, "He hail
a bad attack of malaria in the jungle
and I thought the trip hack here
would do him good. So I brought
him along, and he is going to stay
with us a while."
Mike said he is going hack to Africa
after his visit here.
Mr. Brandeis had an attack of ma
laria and lost some weight. But Mrs.
Brandeis escaped the malady alto
gether.
E. John said they didn't see any
of the hlg pythons and boa constrict
ors in the jungle, hut he saw the
marks in the sand where they had
passed.
"Where will your next trip be?"
E. John was asked.
“I want to try to settle down to
business for while," he said, “but I
think when we go it will he to
India."
Whioping Boys in Honolulu
Disapproved by Judge Day
' Whipping given boy gangsters on
court order.”
This was the headline on a news
^ paper story of a session of juvenile
rt in Honolulu. The clipping was
received by District Judge L. B. Day
Tuesday morning form N. O. Talbot
of Omaha, who haH been traveling In
the south Pacific.
"You might get some ideas from
this,” wrote Mr. Talhot.
But Judge Day. who has charge of
'uvenlle court, believes that moral
mission is quite superior to the whip
ciing method.

ZR-1 Makes Successsful Trial Flight
Lakehurst, N. J.. Sept, 11.—The
United States naval dirigible ZFM
successfully completed a continuous
12-hour flight today when it descend
ed at the naval air station here at
6:45 p. m. daylight time.
The first American-made rigid air
ship had left the ground at 6 a. m.
on a cruise which took it over New
Jersey to New York city, up the
Hudson river to Yonkers and return
down the length of Manhattan, across
to Newark, New Brunswich, Trenton,
Camden, Philadelphia and return
home.
The "Leviathan of the air” thus
concluded its fourth trial flight and
its first of more than three hours con
tinuous flying, sailing at elevations
of from 1.000 to G.000 feet, serenely
and without Incident.
Thousands of spectators watched
the mistress of the air from roof tops
and streets as it sailed smoothly
above them, sometimes with all mo
tors sending her rapidly forward,
other times with some propellers mo
itonless as she cut her speed.

Santa Barbara, Cal., Sept. 11.—The
only successful photographs of the
sun's corona made in southern Cali
fornia during the eclispe of the sun
yesterday are believed to be ones
made by Prof. James Worthington of
London and Dr. Alfred K. Burton,
professor emeritus of astronomy in
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech

Professor Worthington stated last
night that four of the negatives de
veloped by him were almost perfect
and would take rank with the best
ever made during a solar eclipse.

John A. MacReady, one of the two
army sfliers who broke the world's
record In a nonstop flight from New
York to San Diego, figured in an
other novel undertaking yesterday
In a flight of 16,000 feet alti
tude to observe the eclipse cut off
from a view of the earth by clouds
that spread over the coast clear to
Knsenada in Lower California, with
Capt. A. W. Stevens, noted army
photographer. MacReady battled the
clouds for three hours In his deter
minatlon to gain an unobstructed
view of the eclipse. They were wing
ing along In utter darkness with
tongues of blue flames shooting from
their exhaust pipes and with wings
and fuselage drenched with moisture
when the drama of the skies was
enacted. They flew 300 miles to get
one picture, but were foiled by the
elements.

cific was marked by a reddish-pink
glow that extended about one tenth
the length of the horizon to the
right of the shadow. As the shadow
passed the reddish tinge of flame
leaped along the entire Horizon and
did not diminish for several minutes.
Navy airmen scattered over a wide
area and flying at altitudes varying
from 7,000 to 10,000 feet were suc
cessful in getting not onli* excellent
motion pictures of the corona, but
also faint but sufficient photographs
of the fleeting shadow that swept
with terrific speed down from the
northward at the moment of totality.
Scientists Puzzled.
Scientists are extremely puzzled
over one bit of information that
dropped from the clouded skies with
the naval aviators. This was a sea
of lavendar colored clouds.
Lieut. Donald Duncan, flying at
8,000 feet over the mountains near
Poway, sighted the shadow with un
usual clearness approaching from the
northwest. It engulfed him In black
darkness as It passed. He said the
horizon during the period of totality
was rimmed with a reddish light that
flared forth at times with great brll
hance and then died down until It
seemed like the glow from a small

For the first time in the hietory

of 1,000 miles or more would be
granted a free membership In Ak

from Seattle, the next from J. A.

Wool Men MpH Marketer*.
Chicago, Sopt. II.—Directors of the
I National Wool Warehouse and Stor
age company met today with the
hank representatives and with rep
resentatives of the marketing associa
tions. The company plans to act aa
rational sales and warehousing agent
for state and regional wool growers
associations.
“We hope to effect a plan today
which will finance the co-operative
marketing of wool by the growers
themselves," said Matt Staff of HeJ
rna. Mont., president of the eomany,
“eliminating the usual welling agen
cies. The loans, according to our
present proposal, would lie extended
to the regional associations of wool
growVra, which will market through
us. We believe In financing wool
outside the selling sgeney that pro
duction may m l be affected by price
fuctuatlons.”,
