JOHN WARREN PORTER DEAD.
Prominent i'm Business and Politics of
the Old Dominion.

Mr.. John Warren Porter died suddenly
November Is at his home near Charlottes-
vile, Va. He had for years been subject to
attacks of acute indigestion, and though he
was complaining all day no alarm was felt
by his physicians and family until about
an hour before he passed away. Mr.. Porter
was born March %, 1893 His father, John
Franklin Porter, was the first male child
born in the city of Syracuse, n. Y, and was
grandson of DIR. William Adams, who
served as surgeon Of the 4th Pennsylvania
Artillery in the revolutionary war. The
latter was the cousin of John and Samuel
Adams.
Mr.. Porter's family was closely identified
with the early history of Syracuse, and 1t
was mainly due to their efforts that the salt
works there were developed into an indus
try Of great magnitude. The works were
subsequently controlled by them.
During the early discovery Of oil in Penn
sylvania he removed to that region, amass-
ing a large fortune, the greater part Of
which he afterward lost by a succession of
fire and floods. He collected his remaining
funds and started for the sunny SOUTH"
settling in Virginia soon after the civil war;
Besides being possessed of a peanut and
sorghum farm near Petersburg, he for
many years managed the fine estate of
"kenwood fruit farm a part of Mon
ticello," the home of the immortal Jefferson.
The interests at "Kenwood" began to null
tiply and he sold the Petersburg property,
giving his full time to the development of
fruit culture at "Kenwood.
He was one of the first men to begin the
cultivation Of grapes in the state, and his
vineyards grew from few experimental
vines to nearly hundred acres He be-
came also one Of the most extensive fruit
producers in the Piedmont region. He was
a member of the National Beekeepers' AS
sociation, and his experience was such that
his opinion on the apfary was generally re-
garded as authority.
At the formation of the republican party
he became attached to its principles and
only on account of deafness was he prevent
ed from entering the Union army. Mr.
Porter was noted for the ability zeal and
fearlessness with which he defended his
political views. He was many times dele
gate to the national conventions of his par
ty and defended his faith with his pen as
we'll in speech. Because of extreme
office, except that of magistrate Of his dis
trict, to which he was constantly reelected
until his personal affairs prevented his
longer serving in that capacity.

Save the Birds.
To the Editor Of The Evening Starr


Knowing how The Star opposes all forms
of wrong, should like to say few words
in the cause of some OF Gods creatures
who are unable to speak in their own be-
half. l mean the birds. These are among
the loveliest and most pleasing forms which
adorn our wonderful earth. They furnish
man with song, food and recreation, yet
notwithstanding these facts he is continu-
ally doing his uttermost to- exterminate
them from the face of the earth. Not only
our game birds but the< <loyeliest songsters
of our groves are being continually slaugh-
tered to crafty man's-iove of sport and
womans silly vanity of dress and fashion,
and unless strong restrictive measures are
taken at once by Congress the day is not
far in the future when the song and game
birds of this country will have become as
practically extinct as the buffalo, the elk
and the wild turkey, bird which at one
time was as plentiful as our partridges of
today. F. ]. de MOLL.

Trickery I'm Maryland.
From the Pfiladalnhia Bullefin

There is no attempt to disguise the fact
that wholesale trickery was employed by
the democratic managers In Maryland TO
win their late victory. In addition to the
disfranchisement of a large proportion or
colored voters the German leaders in many
districts of the state supplied the polling
places with juggled ballots, on which the
names OF the various candidates and of1ces
were so mixed as to confuse many citi-
zens. In consequence, large numbers OF
these ballots were thrown out by the cleo
tion officials as invalid, because the puzzled
voters had made wholly natural mistakes.
Some of the more reputable Maryland DEM
ocrats have protested vigorously against
these tactics. and it is asserted that the
new legislature will pass measure enforc-
ing uniformity In the printing and makeup
of all future ballots. This provision II 90
manifestly just that no honest man can
oppose II. Opinions may diner as to the ad-
visibility of stringent restrictions OF the
franchise, but that the ballots used at e2ec-
tions should be absolutely uniform In the
grouping OF candidates Is self-evident.

NEW GREEK MINISTRY.
Old Cabinet Resigned on Account Of
Recent Riots.

A dispatch from Athens yesterday says:
AS a result of the demonstrations against
the proposed translation of the gospels in
modern Greek, the Grecian cabinet has re-
signed. This action was taken in spite OF
King Georges efforts to induce the cabinet
and NJ, Theotekis. the premier, to remain in
office. NJ. Theotekis considers the RESPONSE
bility of a judicial inquiry into the recent
riots should be left to another cabinet, IN
order that the truth may be established be-
yond suspicion.
The party of NJ. Theotekis will support
the new cabinet.
There was a renewal of the rioting to-
night, though not on big scale. with DEM
onstrations against the retiring cabinet. The
residences of the ministers were stoned.
The crowds were finally dispersed by cav
airy.
Armed students continue to occupy the
university buildings.
After an audience with King George to-
night, NJ. Zamise, former premier, complet-
ed a cabinet made up as follows:
Premier and minister of foreign affairs
NJ. Zamise.
Minister of the interior-M Triands- Fyli-
ukos.
Minister of marine-G. Topalis
Minister of public worship--M. Monfer-
ratio.
Minister of finance-M. Negrfs
Minister of war-Col Corpas.
Until an official inquiry into the causes
of the riots has been concluded, M Zamise
will hold also the portfolio of justice.
