spotted form known as 'bifdseye.' fn 100 rock maple trees perhaps one is bifdseye. Nobody can pick the specific tree out by inspecting the bark or the manner of growth You may have to chop 200 trees before you find one. but 1t is worth the sacrifice
 Fact is. the woodpeckers make all the bifdseye maple there is in the world. In flying about the woods they come to a rock maple tree that yields very sweet sap in tile season when sap Is running Most birds like sweets w0odpeckers are very fond of sugar. Having found tree yielding a large per cent of sugar the birds peck holes ih the trunk and then stand aeainss the bark and drink the sap as 1t oozes out
 After the sap has ceased tb flow and the trees have leaved out new wood and bark form in those small holes The peekihg and sap gathering goes Oh fot years until the tree. having given up 50 much sap to the birds. begins to furnish fluid containing less sugar. f1 tetf of twelve years after the birds ouil 2 tree the holes are all grown ap. and nobody can pick out the big birdseyes from other trees that the woodpeckers did not visit.

SAYS LINES MUST
BE SHARPLY DRAWN
Or. Washington GLADDEN. Discusses
Acceptance of Rockefeller Gift
by American Board

COLUMBUS, o.. May THE Rev.
Dr. Washington GLADDEN., pastor of the
First Congregational church, today dis
tributed among the members of his
congregation copies of his recent adj
6ress TO the congregational ministers
at Boston, protesting against the ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Rockefeller's gifts to
the American Board of Missions, and
commented thereon. He said
'If this protest has any significance
it is in its determination to put the
stamp of approval upon lawful and
honorable business. 1t is a declaration
that the time is come when the lines
must be drawn by business men them
selves between trade and commercial
piracy. 1 think that nobody in this
country is so much interested in hav-
ing this line drawn as the honest busi-
ness men. 1t is their battle we are
fghting."

The Chicago Federation of Labor to-
day decided on two measures touching
the strike. One is to withdraw labor
union funds from the banks which sub
scribed to the $4,000 fund to aid the
employers and to urge the individual
members to do likewise.
The other is to attempt to secure the
indictment of the officials of the En-
ers' association, and Charles F. Dar-
spiracy against team owners. Levy
Mayer, chief counsel for the Employ
ers'association, and Charles F. Dar-

the nature of which was guarded but
which was believed to pertain to plans

A peace commission of the Chicago
Team Owners association will renew

BOATS NEARING COMPLETION
Russian Ships Being Built Under
American Supervision
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
SEBASTOPOL, May THE torpedo
boats which are being built at the gov
ernment yard here under the general
supervision of Lewis Nixon of New
York, are nearing completion and their
trials in the Black sea will begin in a
few days. In order to overcome the
difficulty always encountered in work
in a foreign country. Mr.. Nixon pro-
vided his own organization, with which
he has pushed the construction of these
boats to a state of completion.
Much is expected of these torpedo
boats. The Russian admiralty has had
practical evidence of the seaworthiness
of the Nixon boats in the performance
of the Gregory, which crossed the At
lantic in the face of heavy weather.
but the future prestige of the designer
of the American battleship Oregon will
depend in Russia upon the result of
the coming trials, which will be much
more severe than usual, in order to
test certain things claimed for them
by their American constructor.

CLAIMS COUNANI
IS FREE STATE
MINISTER TO SPAIN UNDER
ARREST
QUESTIONED BY MAGISTRATE
Former King at Arms Representing
South American Government
With Immense Territory
Seeks War Stores
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
MADRID, May 7.-Sarrion de Her
rera, former king-at-arms of the Span
ish court, who is charged with con-
spring against the government OF
Brazil, was interrogated by a magis.
trate today. De Herrera maintained
that Counani has been recognized as
an Independent state since 1872 and
that the recruiting of men i'm Europe
for the service of that state is per-
fectly legal.
He denied the existence of a plot
against Brazil and asserted that the
diplomatic relations between Brazil
and Counani are most cordial.
He had been residing in Madrid for
two years in the capacity of minister
for Counani to Spain, Morocco and the
Holy See. De Herrera said that a
revolutionary colonel named CaserO
had recently visited London in order
to arrive at an understanding with the
general committee of the free state of
Counani and to purchase war stores.
subject of dispute between France and
Brazil from 1713 to 1897, when it was
decided to submit the question in
Vclved to the arbitration of the Swiss
government, which, on December /,
1900, rendered a decision awarding
Brazil $4,000 square miles of the con-
tested territory and France about 5000
square miles of the Tumuck-Hu
range. In 1895 a conflict occurred in
this buffer state" of Counani between
French and Brazilian troops precipi-
tated by the discovery of gold in the
Carserenne district. Subsequently a
proposal was made to arbitrate, which
led to the difficulty above noted.
In February last Adolphe Brezet,
claiming to be president of the Repub-
lie of Counani, arrived in Paris seek
ing recognition of his alleged govern
ment by France. alleging that the
people of Counani refused to accept
the decision of the arbiter. Accord
ing to Brezet Counani has two or three
times as much territory as France,
with a population of about 200,O colon
lists and a half million Indians, all of
whom, he alleges, support the new gov
ernment.
In September last an unsuccessful
effort was made to obtain recognition
by the United States of the so-called
Free State Of Counani.

progressed rapidly and their engage

Hamilton devoted much time to
