Mr.. Malcolm Has Something to Say
About Birds.-Mr Harry Malcolm, of Tow
son. writes as follows to the Baltimore NelUs:
'tBeing lover of birds and willing worker to
assist those who are mem bers of the Game and
Fish Protective Association, who are doing a
noble work for the songsters land which Asso-
citation every man should join and assist in
this work, was much pleased to see that the
Park Board had instructed General Super
intendent Crosby to have erected in Druid
Hill Park boxes for black martins and
| wren boxes for our sweet songster, the house
wren. | noticed an interview in q recent

the true hooking bird does not come north Of
Odenton, in Prince Georges county, At my
former home, Woodwalton, near Ruxton Sta
tion, one pair nested regularly about so yards
from the north side of my house, and one pair

mile from Sherwood Station. next above Rux-

you can hear them every spring in full song

sparrow is invited out, and out he goes. l was
much amused last season. In walking by

and, hearing great commotion in the spar
row family, l stopped to look One martin
and the sparrow seeming not inclined to co.
he lifted the sparrow by the neck and threw
him out. Old owners of martin boxes told me
that happened every spring. No English spar

purchase the small-hole boxes for wrens, no
sparrow can get in to modest them. I started
few years back with one pair of wrens on my
place, and found the increase with these
small hole boxes to be wonderful, and the
English sparrows could not injure them or
their young.
"Let the good work go on. The martin, as
soon as he is enticed to make his home in the
Park boxes, will be great source of amuse-
ment to many, and the sweet song of the box

the worthless English sparrow, what bless

ployed in the Park to Danish the crow. 1t
can be done, but never while the fish ponds are
allowed to contain so many gold fish. You
will see the crows catching them by the hun

food they will stay and destroy many song
bird eggs as well.

crows are the enemies of the bird nests, not

Judges Disagreed-Votes Not Counted.
In counting the ballots cast in the fourth
precinct of the 1st DIST near Gainesville, Tues
day night, after about $50 or 100 ballots had
been counted, contention arose between the
Judges concerning the legality of certain votes.
and being unable to agree all the ballots were
returned to the box and it was sealed up. The
tally sheets of the votes counted were signed
by the judges and clerks, and statements of
the votes SO counted were prepared, signed and
sealed and taken in charge by the judges. The
boxes, books, etc., were returned on Wednes-
day to the Supervisors of Elections by the two
Judges, as required under the law. The judges
are Arthur g. Lawrence and George P. Pilert,
Democrats, and William p. Gundry and Ros-
coe L. Coffin, Republicans.
When the Election Supervisors canvassed the
vote in the above mentioned precinct on Thurs
day it was found that Parker had 102 votes,
Roosevelt 40, Talbot 80 and Garrett so. By
the direction of the Attorney General these
votes were canvassed and note made why the
other ballots cast in the precinct were not
counted. 1t was decided that the uncounted
ballots of the precinct can only be counted by
an order of the Circuit Court. 1t was further
stated that the four judges of election of the
precinct can be criminally prosecuted for hav-
ing failed to count all of the ballots, but it is
not probable any action of this kind will be
taken, as it is not claimed that there was any
fraudulent intent. The Republican Judges
claim that it was the Democratic Judges who
refused to complete the count
