result of the action to be taken at
the convention of the American Orn-
ithologists' Union, which began in
this city today, strenuous crusade
is to be undertaken to protect the
birds of North America. Working in
conjunction with the various Audu-
bon societies throughout the coun-
try the union purposes to make or
ganized efforts to have stricter game
laws passed in the various states
and to see that these laws are rig
idly enforced. The cooperation OF

also proposed to interest school tea
chars throughout the country in the
movement The union cites the fig
ures to show that hundreds of thou
sands of birds are killed annually

sures are taken to check it. must
necessarily result in the extermina
tion of many species of feathered
warblers within short time.

For the time being the automo-

some bodies, they dash in and out

There are some good ones among
the harness horse classes. and. al
though the number is not SO great

THE MORCAN-CATES
RAIL Way MERGER CASE

NEW YORK. March 27.-The mem
bers of the interstate commerce COM
mittee came to New York today to
continue the hearing of the case COM
monty known as the southern merger.
This Is the case brought by the Ken
lucky railroad commission against
the Atlantic Coast line. the Southern
railway. the Louisville & Nashville,
the Cincinnati Southern, the Cincin-
natl, New Orleans & Texas Pacific
and the Chicago. Indianapolis &
Louisville railroad companies.
The complaint alleges that the de-
PENDANT lines aggregate $4,000 miles
and have an operating income of
more than $4,000. 900: and that J. p.
Morgan 8 Co. have secured practi-
cally the controlling management of
all of them.
More than ordinary interest is
manifested in the present hearing on
account OF the expressed purpose of
John w, Gates to SAY some things"
At the first hearing of the case j.
Pierpont Morgan, in answer to CUES
tions put by counsel for tho Ken
lucky railroad commission, said that
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-03-27

he considered Mr. Gates dangerous
man in railroad finances.
George w. Perkins and others of
the firm of ]. p. Morgan & Co. made
use of similar expressions. Their
testimony went to show that the
Morgan activity in the settlement
following the Louisville & Nashville
coup executed by Mr.. Gates was bas-
ed upon the belief that 1t was neces-
sary to the preservation of the finan-
cial stability of the railroads of the
country that the control of the Louis
VILE & Nashville be not left in Mr..
Gates hands.
Gates disappointed tie listeners by
not fulfilling his promise to answer
Morgan and explain the details of
the merger. lie apparently took keen
delight in telling how he had kept
Morgan running after him until he
had secured his own terms.
Gather further testified that Nor
gan said they might consider a South
ern Securities company If litigation
in the Northern Securities case was
decided favorably to the company.
Harris, Gates partner. testified
that he had bought stock as low as
1875 and made the Morgan syndicate
pay as high as $50

Her Home.
WAS WITH HIM A WEEK

Maud Coxhead. the 16-year-old girl
whom Anthony Gibbon, a Main street
barber, is charged with criminally as
saulting, is on the stand today in
Judge Richardson's court She stated
that she had lived with Gibbon for
about a week and that they had occu-
pied a room together at the Victor
lodging house.
Some time during the month of
September she left her home and
donned the garb of a boy and went
to work for the paper box factory.
During this time she roomed at the
o. X. lodging house and still posed
as a boy. Meeting Gibbon in a bar
Der shop one day she struck up an
acquaintance with him. She met him
again at the Volunteers hall and he
proposed that they go to the Cineo-
graph theater.
1t was at this place she said she
told him she had no place to room
and he proposed that she go to his
room, No. II, Victor block.
The girl stated that she left the
home of her foster parents, who live
on Mission avenue, in September. She
cut OFF her hair and assumed the roll
of boy without fear Of detection.
She soon learned to smoke cigarettes,
which she thought made her disguise
complete. During the time she was
masquerading as boy she adopted
the name of Charlie Scott.
Her arrest and detection was
brought about by some of the mes
senger boys calling her grille" and
as she could not continue to conceal
her sex the matter was tipped off to
the police, who took her into Gus
tody.
