Upon invitation, DIR. r. s. Palmer orni-
thologist of the Agricultural Department.
addressed the meeting on the subject of
protection of game birds from an ornithol-

Ingly interesting and his arguments did
not differ materially from those advanced
by sportsmen. He showed what advan-
tages would result from more uniformity
of the game laws in the different states
and heartily approved the work of the
District organization. He showed the ef-
feet of non-uniformity Of game laws on
both the resident and migratory s;me
birds, instancing the quail and woodcock.
The scarcity of the latter. he said, was cue
almost entirely to the difference of state
laws, which had the effect of making him

ten months in the year, allowing only two
months for reproduction. DIR. Palmer

Amateur Cyclists Organize.

The Amateur Cycle Racing Association
Of Maryland has been formed, the purpose
being to aid one another in the prospect
i've speed contests which will take place i'm
Maryland during the coming spring and
summer. The membership is not COM
posed entirely of amateur cyclists as the
name would imply, but includes some we'll
known coachers, timers, checkers and start
ers, some of them professional riders.
The association is the outgrowth of the
League of Seven" which last fall broke
the states Short-distance road record. The
main feature of the League of Seven was
that the members were pledged to help any
of its members who might wish to try for
a record on the road. This idea forms the
groundwork of the new association, with
the addition that the members will furnish
each other with pacing and other facli-
Ties for the track and road match races.

KNOWLES IS
 ACQUITTED No Need for That Flight
 to Texas. PROSECUTION WAS WEAK
FAILED TO SHOW WHERE THE
 FORGERY WAS DONE.
The Jury Instructed That It Had No Alternative but to Vote to Release the De-
 fendant.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 

sos Broadway, June 1S
 w. A. Knowles was acquitted this morn ing by jury in Judge Greene's court on the charge of forgery.
 The acouittal of Knowles is the result of defective prosecution. When Judge Greene took the bench this morning he read the instructions to the jury. After covering the ground traversed by the evil dence the court advised the jury to ac- quit In the first place it had not been shown that the alleged forgery was com mitted in this county, and, secondly, no proof had been offered to show that there was any mortgage on the property in question and therefore it had not been shown that the release of the mortgage which it was alleged Knowles had crim- inally altered was a release of any valid instrument. The jury retired and in if teen minutes brought back verdict of
 This ends a case which has occupied the attention of real estate men in this coun- Grand Jury then in session - indicted ii Knowles for forgery, which consisted in manipulating a release of a mortgage it appear that about a dozen lots more had been released than the document showed before being filed Regent J. West Martin gave the Grand Jury the testi- mony upon which the indictment was issued.
 Knowles to avoid prosecution fled to Texas and was brought back. At the first trial the jury disagreed. A few weeks ago Knowles was surrendered by his bOndsmen and when the case came to trial again technical fight was made by his attorneys from beginning to end Their instructions to the jury were hand ed to the court yesterday and Judge Greene studied over them for several hours This morning they were satisfac- tory to him and showed that the indct- ment was incomplete and the presenta- tion of the, evidence, for the prosecution was such that it did not show the com mission of the offense.
 The trial of Knowles has been long and the expenses of arresting him and bring ing him back from Texas have been quite large, and it has been wasted. Knowles was prosecuted by District Attorney c. E. Shook and defended by Attorneys A. L. Prick and Emil Nusbaumer.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
 FRANK P. THWAITES
DIED OF PNEUMONIA AFTER
 THREE DAYS ILLNESS.
Rather Than Be Minister He Drove Streetcar and Served With Distinction on News
 papers.

OAKLAND, June IS. - Frank P Thwaites, stenographer to the District Attorney and the County Justices courts died with pneumonia at his summer cot tage in Trestle Glen shortly after o'clock this morning, He had been III only two days. Few of his most inti- mate friends even knew of his being III.
 MT. Thwaites was alone at the time of his death, his wife and 2-year-old daugh- ter having left for Chicago some time ago. Mrs. Thwaites was notified by wire and directed that the remains be shipped to her for interment. The deceased was a member of the Elks, Athenian. Ro- hemian, Reliance and Acme clubs and very popular among all of his acuuaint- ances.
 Mr. Thwaites was born in India thirty one years ago, but was educated at Har- row, England. His father desired him to be minister and fa.lling-out ensued owing to which the son left home and came to this country. He first drove a streetcar in New York; later he went to work on the Herald as a reporter Here he made great hit in the descriptive ac- count of the trial trip of the Dolphin, which failed to make the required speed. He was for a time the Washington. Lon don, and, later, Paris correspondent for the same paper. Then he went on Lon don papers and reported the lombard ment of Alexandria for the Telegraph
 On his return to the United States he went into the Geological Survey for three years. Then he went to the Pacific Bank of San Francisco as stenographer where he remained until 1892, when he was ap- pointed to the position he held at the time of his death.
 In 1894 he was married to Miss Sarah Morse, who is now visiting her sister. Mrs. Val H. Higgins, 494S Woodward aye nue, Chicago.
