Of Mr.. william T. Hornaday of the New

II is not meant that the numbers Of our
feathered friends actually have been
counted. That would be a well nigh i'm
possible task. A fairly exact and scien-
tifically valuable enumeration has been
made. however. and the results furnish
serious food for thought on the part Ct
those who desire to see the plume and

these returns are decidedly alarming
to those who are interested in the pres
ervation of our valuable BIRDS" says Mr..
Hornaday. They show q startling de-
crease in the number OF birds valued
for their flesh, their plumage or their
singing abilities in almost every part OF
the country. Some varieties seem doomed
to absolute extinction. while many of
the others can be saved only by imme-
date and vigorous efforts The cause
should appeal particularly to all scien-
lists, sportsmen and farmers. as they in
particular will be serious losers by the
disappearance Of our familiar birds.
while this scourge Of bird destruc-
ton Is prevalent In all parts Of the
country, the recent census shows that 1t

The above telegram was sent off three
days before Gen. Colvile reached Lindley,
and was the cause of Lieut. Col Spra p9e

The United States of America on the re-
lation of Frederick ]. Miller this afternoon
instituted proceedings for mandamus
against the Commissioners Of the District
of Columbia and the Inspector of buildings
The court Is asked to compel the Com
missioners to secure to Mr.. Miller the right
to erect two dwelling houses on part Of
original lot 1. square $50. without molesta-
ton from any of their subordnates in their
official capacity.
1t is stated that the lot in question IL
less than so feet in depth, and the Com
missioners therefore, have declined to direct
the issuing Of a building permit in connec-
ton with 1t. Mr.. Miller charges that the
regulation OF the Commissioners providing
that no dwelling house shall be erected on
lot less than 80 feet In depth is not such
building regulation as is contemplated by
or within the true extent or meaning OF the
act Of Congress, in alleged pursuance of
which the building regulations were adopt
ed and promulgated.
According to Mr.. Miller's contention, the
regulation Is void, and Its endorsements. in
eject, Is an attempt to hinder and prevent
citizens owning property In the District Of
Columbia from making impfo 1ents upon
and using and enjoying their property with
the freedom, and to the extent guaranteed
