SUSQUEHANNA. Pa. March 6-For
weeks crows have swarmed on Elk Noun
tain, the second highest in this State
feeding in the barnyards in the daytime
and collecting at night in the trees on top
Of the mountain. At dusk these birds
gather in from the surrounding country in
myriads, and the noise they make by their
shril Cav, Caw"' is deafening.
Recently a flock OF these birds was
passing over the Ontario and Western
tracks. when the smoke of a passing train
blinded them. They few against the sides
Of the swiftly moving cars. and parties
who watched the strange sight counted
nearly two hundred that met death.
A party Of Carbonate hunters armed
themselves with shotguns a few days a-o
and visited the roost. with the ayowed
intention Of Kidding Il Of the shiny black
pests Six OF them shot al least rs in
less than an hour but. at the end Of that
time the diminution OF the birds was not
noticeable, and they returned home in dis
gust.
During the late blizzard the birds. mad
dened by extreme hunger. attacked cattle
and sheep in the barnyards. and we're
driven away with difficulty. Tn horse Of
a Scranton peddler was attacked on the
turnpike near Forest City by a score of
these birds. The peddIer saved his steed
by throwing a big bundle OF sheep skins
OF the sleigh. to appease the hunger Of
the black horde. In a trice the skins we're
torn into shreds and eagerly devoured.

question. There are so many Western
members, and some from the Fast. who
have been made to believe by the beet
root lobbyists that they will be defeated
for reelection if Cuban reciprocity leg
islation is enacted at this session that Il
is dangerous 10 party harmony to precip-
itgtc the question on the House at this
time and so il is probable that il will

also that il viii get nearly every Republi-

Henderson and the Committee on Rules
could easily prevent all this trouble if
they were inclined to act with their US
ual vigor by reporting a special rule pre-
venting amendments and limiting debate
on the bill
At the conference tonight it is expected
that the friends of reciprocity will rally
and make a demonstration Of their real
strength, so as to put an end 20 the stO-
ries that they are in the minority. This
does not necessarily mean that they are
determined TO show the beet-rOOt people
that they have strength enough TO carry
the bill through without getting a single
vote from the beet-rOot districts. II is
generally conceded, however that they
viii wait until the bill can be made a
party measure and then viii push il.
But above and beyond all this doubt is
the certainty that even If the House
should continue to delay relief for Cuba
indefinitely. the Senate leaders can be
depended upon to find way TO bring the
House into line. In spite of all reports 10
the contrary. the best-informed opinion
is that Cuban reciprocity legislation Will

that fully one-haf the voters Of the

ANXIOUS FOR HARMONY ON
CUBAN TARIFF QUESTION

While not receding an inch from his
firm and resolute stand for reciprocity
with Cuba. President Roosevelt has de
cided not TO send a special message to
Congress unless that course Is shown TO
be absolutely necessary. Speaker Hendcr-
son and Chairman Cannon. OF the House
Appropriations Committee. were in CON
ference with the President on this sub
ject for half an hour yesterday, and the
President learned from them the exact
condition Of the Cuban case at present.
Whether OF not the House Republicans
at their third conference tonight viii
adopt the Payne bin, providing for general
reciprocity on a 90 per cent basis, is stiH
a matter Of speculation.
Although the beet root lobbyists assert
that they have made a poll Of the Repub-
lican side Of the House which shows nine
ty-five votes pledged against reciprocity
It is not denied by members most out
spoken in their opposition that if the sup
porters Of reciprocity should force a vote
at tonights conference between the Taw-
ney rebate proposition and the bill re-
ported by Chairman Payne for the Ways
and Means Committee the latter would
win by a substantial majority
But even then the trouble would not be
over. On the contrary. IL is feared that
II an early decision in favor Of reciprocity
should be forced by the majority, strong
and stubborn opposition would spring up
on the Republican side Of the House which
would lead To a form Of marty enbarraSs-
ment that none Of the leaders want to
face al this time
Hence, the only reason for so much
careful consultation over Cuba at this
tuncture is the strong and determined
desire in high circles to prevent anything
like a party split over this or any other
