the action of the President In creating sew
eral new bird reservations is deeply appre-
ciated by the society.
Major Sylvester's account OF the work
OF the mounted police in feeding the birds
during the long and severe winter OF last
year was listened to with close interest,
especially as the weather emphasized the
necessity of joining hands with the chief
OF police and his men in this crusade. Mr..
Henry Oldys spoke on the same subject,
giving interesting incidents showing the
friendly relations often established by this
practice OF feeding the birds.
Last spring the society offered prize

LABOR or CHILDREN.


Rev. Alexander Kent Of the Peoples
Church preached at Pythian Temple last
evening on Legislation against Child La
bor." He sad, in part:
The mills get the children of the poor.
It Is cruel to let them be stunted and
dwarfed in the mills, but II ID even more
cruel to shut them out of the mills and
leave them to beg or steal or starve. But
this is all that legislation against child
labor in itself proposes to do. The suppo-
sition Is that II mill owners are prevented
from employing children they will employ
ADULTS and pay a larger wage. and SO en-
aiDie the children to go to shchool. That
there is a measure of truth in this do not
doubt. but not enough to meet the necessi-
ties OF the case.
The wages paid to adult factory opera
nves are not alone sufficient to support even
small family In health and comfort so
that even II the age limit Were raised to
sixteen years In every part of the country
the Children OF factory workers would still
grow up stunted and dwarfed for want of
the requisites OF q healthful life. The poor
in England where this kind of legislation
has been longest tried were never in
greater distress or more numerous than
they are this year. And this despite the
measure of relief afforded through the col
onizatfon efforts OF the salvation Army.
mere Is one way In which the need
could be partially and largely met without
.lvoiviHs d radicai cnange In our whole in
dustral and economic system, and that is
by establishing Industrial schools in every
etate.
These schools. II properly managed, could
easily be made self-supporting. The sort
o. work that Booker Washington is doing
TOT the negroes ought to be done in every
county. This would take the children out
OF the factories and bring them up amid
wholesome surroundings, and would fur
ther train and equip them for the uses of
liIc. Inc entire absence nf mr. cad
remedy for the evils of child labor In the
literature and addresses Of the national
committee seems to me a great weakness in
the campaign of this body. Perhaps, how
ever, II Is moving to take one stronghold at
time In any event. the agitation will do
good"

DEATH OF MRS. FRAwLEY.
Injuries Caused by Fall From Third
Story Window Have Fatal Result.


Story Window Have Fatal Result.
Mrs. Catherine Frawley, eighty-five years
old, died at the Emergency Hospital last
night about II o'clock from conclusion Of
the brain. Her fatal injury was received by
falling from the third-story window at the
home Of her niece, Miss Katie Frazier, S21
4th street northwest. last night about 8
O'Clock. The aged woman accidentally lost
her balance and fell while making an eff
fort to close the blinds before getting ready
to retire. 1t is thought that the snow and
ice had made the shutters difficult to move.
and Mrs Frawley leaned out OF the window
in order to get firm hold upon them. In
doing SO she leaned too far out and lost
her balance. She was unconscious when
picked up and taken to the hospital. The
surgeons were surprised at finding she had
received no fracture of her skull. They
realized, however, that her condition was
critical and told relatives that she could
live but short time. Coroner hewitt made
an investigation of the affair and gave
certificate of accidental death. The body of
Mrs. Frawley was removed to the 4th
street house today.

POLICE FEED BIRDS
Mounted Force In County Helping to
Preserve songsters and Game.

1ICSSIV6 0Vu&bCcxS o4AA 0esAAASs
Following the custom that was inaugu-
rated by Maj. Sylvester several years ago,
the mounted policemen In the county are
doing what they can in the matter OF feed
Ing the birds while the ground is covered
with snow. Many birds starve or freeze 20
death during the severe spells OF weather,
and Maj. Sylvester. who Is vice president
of the Audubon Society and president OF
the Fish and Game Protective Association,
is endeavoring to give them all the pro-
lection he can. He Is also anxious that
residents of the county should render as
sistance in the matter.
Farmers in Maryland and Virginia have
been feeding quail during the winter
months for several years, and 1t is believed
1t is because OF their thoughtfulness that
the birds have not been exterminated. A
Washington sportsman who returned from
a weeks trip to the vicinity of Chesapeake
Beach said that he saw only three quail
during the entire week. Most of the farm
ers I'm that section, he stated. are prohib-
iting the slaughter Of the birds on their
farms. He found wild ducks fairly plan-
tiful and saw a few rabbits.
