SNOW AND ICE LAW
BAD EFFECT GENERALLY OWING
TO INvALIDITY.

The effect OF the declaration that the
District snow and ice law was invalid by
the District Court of Appeals May % last
is being felt at this time. There is moth
ing except, perhaps. a feeling of general
philanthropy desire to please the pub
lie for other reasons to induce property
owners or occupants to remove ice and
snow from the pavements In front of
houses or lots. In consequence one can go
to any part of the city today and find long
stretches of slippery sidewalks.
The original snow and ice law of the Dis
trict was passed in 1897, but this was con-
sidered to be inadequate, and in February
OF the present year another act was passed
repeating the first. The decision of the
Court of Appeals in the spring declared
every portion of the new law invalid ex-
cept the repeating clause. which, of course
left the District without any law on the
subject.
The case came up on an appeal by Fred
erick b. Mcclure from the Police Court,
where he had been adjudged guilty of a
violation of the law and subjected to q fine
Tor 1aiiure TO remove snow and ice from
the pavement in front of property owned
by him. In setting aside the Judgment of
the Police Court and remanding the case
with directions to vacate the judgment and
discharge Mr.. MCGUIRE the court said:
The purpose of this legislation is in the
highest degree humane and beneficent-that
of saving life and limb from untoward ac-
cident resulting from slippery sidewalks
But there Is another aspect of these enact
ments which, in the interest of Individual
liberty and equal right before the law. cam
not be ignored. This class of legislation is
undoubtedly an attempt on the part of the
municipality to shift to the shoulders Of the

charitable and kindly that are unable to
make any cutlery for themselves, but which
are nevertheless suffering severely on ac-
count of the great white mantle that now
envelops the earth and entirely shuts off
their food supply. The District of Column
bia is peculiarly fortunate in having among
its inhabitants large numbers of song birds
and birds of beautiful plumage. During the
early days of spring and throughout the
warm months they give great amount of
pleasure to those who find rest in the many
parks of the city. These birds are now said
to. be suffering greatly and many of them
are starving because their usual food sup
ply is covered with snow and sleet and they
are unable to pick up even a slight quantity.
1t has been suggested that it is only nee
esSary to call the attention of Washington
1ans to this condition of affairs and they
will Immediately afford some relief to the
birds, which are so greatly in need.
DR.. Harban's Views.
In talking over this matter of relief DR..
Walter S. Harlan, president of the Game
and Fish Association of the District of Co.
lumbia, said to reporter for The Star to-
day:
Unless warm weather or rain carries
away the snow very soon the birds of this
section are liable to be extrmnated For
the past ten days the ground has been COW
inches, completely hiding the feeding
grounds and shutting off from the birds
their source of food supply. Should these
conditions continue very long and the
weather become much colder than now
the birds must perish a consequence
1t Is not, however, the extreme cold that
destroys the birds. But the cutting off of
their food supply by the snow and sleet
SO Weakens them that they are unable to
stand even moderately cold weather and
as result they perish from starvation.
Major Sylvester, chief game warden of
the District of Columbia, has been author
lied by the local game and fish associa-
ton to feed the birds of the District. the
association bearing the expense. AS this
will require time to get around, we want
every lover of birds, either in the city or
in the nearby sparsely settled sections to
scatter some seed where the birds can find
it. BY doing this promptly there is no
reason why the birds cannot be saved Ex-
perience has demonstrated that it is much
easier to save the birds than to restock, and
1t Is also much less expensive.
Such seeds as wheat, rye, buckwheat,
millet, cow peas, screenings or any of the
smaller seeds will do. Those people unable
to purchase seed can secure a supply by
calling on Major Sylvester, who will cheer
fully give them when he is advised by the
persons making application that they are
wiling to scatter them.
The seed should be placed in protected
spots, along fence rows, hedges, ETC.

"A ToothSome
 Flavor"

True for you. there's a treat in the crisp. nutty, delicate sweet taste of Grape-Nuts served with thick rich cream.
 Don't spoil the food by trying to cook 1t. That work is done and per- fectly doEe at the factories).
 The cream should soften 1t a bit but not enough to excuse the eater from at least few good earnest "chews" for old Dame Nature sends rich blessings to the long chewer. Of course the one with weak teeth can soften the food with milk down to a mush if necessary, but the good old Dame doesn't smile quite so cherefully on them.
 You know children and adults must use the teeth and grind freely to make them grow strong and to preserve them. Then the act of chewing brings down the much needed saliva from the gums. and that helps amazingly in the digestion of foods of various kinds.
 The saliva is not so much required With Grape-Nuts. for this food Is pre- digested, that is the starch turned into a form of sugar in the process of mak- ing. and that helps give 1t the fascinat- ing flavor.

J. N. DAVIDSON KILLED
sWITCHMAN RUN OVER BY CARS
 IN RAILROAD YARDS.
His Body Was MaDgled Terribly md He Died Within Few Hours at Hospital Before Operation
 Was Performed.

John N. Davidson, a switchman em- pioyed by the Atlantic CoIst Line Railroad received injuries yesterday about 12 o'clock while he was coupling a line of cars near North Court Street, the railroad wards, that resulted in hts death shortly after o'clock yesterday afternoon at St. Margaret's hospt Il, where he had been taken immediately after the accident.
 The accident which caused the death of MT. Davidson was due to his catch ing his foot in the frog of n switch immediately in front of the moving cars. throwing him on the track. Be- fore he could be assisted fin any way. the trucks of the car passed over his right arm and leg horribly mutilating them.
 Engineer Boyle. In charge of the en- zine drawing the cars. was attracted by the cries of the injured man and of witnesses of the accident. and imme- diately stopped the train. Mir. David son was picked up and surgical atten- tion was immediately given him. He was moved to a hospital and every thing that medical skill could acc 1m- plish was done. but to no avail. The right leg and arm had been literally mashed into a pup and the flow of blood could not be stopped.
 The effect of the wound caused by the trucks passing over his arm and leg was to deaden the nerves and 1t is said that he suffered little pain. He suffered none of the agony usual in such accidents and was quiet when tl- ken to the hospital where it was thought amputation of the membc rs might save his life. No operation was performed, however. the surgeons find ing that an operation would not save his life.
 Mir. Davidson was about S5 years old and had lived in Montgomery only short while. He had a large number of friends and was popular among his fellow workmen in the railroad scr vice.
 His wife and two children went 70 Beatrice, Wilcox County. last week to visit relatives and the funeral ar engagements will not be made until further information has been heard from them. It Is probable that the body will be shipped to Beatrice today,

On,uiou of Attorney General as to

 Citizens of Calhoun County are in a dilemma about the office of President of the County ConSnissioner's Court.
 The term of E. H. Hanna, who was appointed by the Governor under a special act, expired on August 1. The Democratic nominee for the office, w. F. Hanna, will not be elected until the November election.
 Governor Cunningham, being asked to appoint MT. Hanna. the Democratic nominee, referred the matter to At torney General Massey Wilson with a request for an opinion on the subject. The Attorney General replied yester- day as follows:
