Cruelty to Animals.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l would like to have those who are in
terested in animals-higher or lower-take
a few morning walks in the neighborhood
of the Center market, after breakfast ra-
ther than before, as they will then have
greater power of resistance to disagree
able sights. Upon the broad walks in front
of the large wholesale warehouses they
will see crates of fowls piled upon crates
each crowded, frequently to suffocation
II the reader doubts this statement he can
verify it by standing a few minutes in
front of one of these warehouses and watcl,
the opening of the crates, the brutal trans
fer Of their contents and see the suffocated,
lifeleSs bodies thrown out.
Later in the season he will find the CON-
ditions aggravated, and the death rate in
creased by allowing these crates to stand
exposed to the Sun-the fowls without food
or water and gasping for breath. In these
circumstances the condition of the fowls
in the center of a crate, in the center of a
pile of crates, can be imagined. 1 am in
formed that an ingeniously constructed
law prescribes the dimensions of these
crates, but places no limit to their con-
tents.
II he continues his walk the observer
will find calves awaiting death, chained to
awning posts without food or water and
bawling or moaning piteously. 1t is not an
unusual sight to see an obstinate animal
thrown bodily from a high wagon upon
the pavement What matters the breaking
of a leg? They are condemned to die any
way.
These sights are not unusual; they are
common, and have been common for years.
Yet they are not familiar as it is not a
neighbOrhood frequented by the humane
public Cannot something be done? 1t Is
true that we have Humane Society,"
which is doing excellent work in preventing
cruelty to horses, dogs and cats. Could
they not be induced to include in their
domain what seems to be n
known region? Not long ago had occa-
sion to commend their vigilance in fining
a negro for biting off the tip of a cats tail.

HAZING AT WEST POINT.

urtnef Act1On by the War Depart
ment fs Deemed Unnecessary.
The Secretary of War has made public
the report of the military court of inquiry
of which General Brooke was president,
which last fall investigated charges of
hazing at the Military Academy. The find
ings of the court are summed up by Secre-
tary Root as follows:
The findings of this court of inquiry
which are sustained by the evidence show
that the statements which led to the con-
venins of the court, to the effect that for
mer Cadet Oscar L. Booz came to his death
by reason of injuries received by hazing at
the academy, were not true. They show
that at the time Cadet Booz was member
of the academy hazing was prevalent there
to deplorable extent; that the present Of
ncers of the academy have shown COM
mendable energy, zeal and efficiency in de-
tecting and Furnishing offenses of this char
acter, and that they greatly decreased the
practice and improved the public sentiment
among the cadets upon the subject The
testimony and findings of the court were
placed in the hands of the committee of
Congress charged at about the same time
with the investigation Of the subject, and
the very efficient and beneficial action of
that committee, followed by the legislation
upon the subject, contained in the act of
March 2, 1901, renders further action by
the department Unnecessary

Flag of the Bon Homme Richard.

| To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Permit me to address you in regard to a
| singular error which seems to have oc-
CURED in the printed description attached
| to an exhibit in the National Museum
which purports to be one of the most inter
| esting objects having associations with the
| revolutionary war Any flag of John Paul
| Jones is entitled to our interest, but when
we are told that we are in the presence of
the particular flag which flew from the Bon
Homme Richard in her action with the
Scraps, we must take off our hats and re-
main silent as we live over again the glo-
res OF that moonlight fight. flag in the
National Museum is labeled as being the
one worn by the Bon Homme Richard
during the action with the British frigate
the Scraps, September d, 1779" But an
examination of history reveals the fact that
the richards flag, if it could be in exist
ence today, would not be displaying it's
peaceful folds in a glass case at the Ma
tional Museum for ignorant visitors to gaze
at, but would be slowly waving it's battle
SCARED stripes far down in the depths of
the North sea, still fastened to the ensign
gar of the ship exactly as 1t was when the
ship Went down. Listen to this from John
Paul Jones himself: THE ensign gaff, shot
away in action, had been fshed and put in
place soon after firing ceased, and our torn
and tattered flag was left flying when we
abandoned her = . . So the very last ves-
tige mortal eyes ever saw of the Bon
her unconquered and unstricken flag as she
went down."-(Buell's s Life of Jones' D. PAD.
ana mere are some remarks on the same
subject from Buell.: 1T was the first and
the last flag that ever went down or ever
VIII go down flying on the ship that con-
quered and captured the ship that sunk
her"
Evidently the flag on exhibition in the
National Museum is not the flag 1t pur-
ports to be. If further proof were needed
or TINS than the above extract from Jones!
Journal 1T could be found by merely looking
at the flag In the museum and observing
that the chief damage to it's condition con-
slstS OF few small rents that look like the
work of moths. And this In flag which
was in the thick of a fight under Jones
when two ships fought for three hours and
grappled much of the time
Torn and tattered," we may take Jones'
Wofd Tor 1t, was the true condition of that
flag at the end of those three hours
1t Is possible that the flag in the Ma
tlonal Museum may have been some time
in use on the Richard, but 1t certainly
should not be labeled it is, nor should an
important exhibit by the United States
government be wrongly described

TO SAVE THE TIMBER.
Cooperation With Settlers for Con-
serVatiOn of Forests.


The forestry division, Department Of
Agriculture, is preparing a working plan
for the conservation of the timber on a
tract Of 100000 acres in the neighborhood
of Millinocket, Me-, belonging to private
paper corporation. 1t Is part Of a general
policy to be inaugurated by the depart
ment for the conservation of timber land
throughout the United States to secure a
perpetual crop of timber in the various
areas under consideration. The private
concern will pay all expense Of the work,
save the salaries of the government ex-
perts who are directed by Prof. Clifford
Pinchot chief of the division.
The division Of forestry in a circular Just
issued reneWs it's announcement that it is
prepared, 80 far as its limited appropria-
tion will permit, to render practical and
personal assistance to farmers and others
by cooperating with them to establish for
est plantations, wood lots, shelter belts and
wind breaks" q. Ink
A section of the division was organized in
1899 and placed in charge of an expert
tree planter and number of field assist
ants. aided by several colIaborators resid-
ing in different states. This section devotes
itself entirely to Investigations in tree
planting and to the assistance of those who
may avail themselves of the cooperative
plan Of planting. st'
Applications for such assistance will be
considered in the order of their receipt,
out the DIVISION reserves the right to give
preference to those likely to furnish the
most useful object lessons. After an appli-
cation has been made and accepted the su-
perintendent Of tree planting OF a field
agent will visit the land. of the applicant,
and. after adequate study of the ground,
VIII make planting plan suited to its par
ticular condition. The purpose Of this plan
Is to give help in the selection Of trees,
information in regard to planting and in
structfon in handling forest trees after they
are planted.
The division does not undertake to fur
nish trees or seeds to planters or partici-
pate in any manner or degree in the ex-
penses Of planting, except to defray the
expenses of its agent in making the pre-
iiminary examination and the planting
plan.
