DENIAL OF LEAD TRUST DEAL
story that Carter Company sold out
is COntradicted by New York
Commercial.

The New York Commercial prints a de-
NAL by the officers of the National Lead
company that the concern has bought the
Carter White Lead. company, with opera
tive plants in Omaha, Chicago and Mont
real. According to the Commercial the
report originated in Omaha and seems to
have boon founded on the presence of e.
J. Cornish, president of the Carter COM
pany, In New York. 1t is said Mr. Cornish
offered TO sell the property of his company
for about 100000, but the trust people
thought the price too high and declined
TO close at the figure. 1t was given out
that no negotiations are in progress. The
Carter White Lead company is owned
mostly in Omaha and for years has been
the largest producer of its kind out of the

OUR LETTER COX.
To Protect Birds.


NEW YORK, Feb. 25-To the Editor Of
The Bee: Senator Perkins has introduced
a bill in congress in which all persons who
are friendly to the preservation of the
wild game and song birds will be deeply in
terested. 1t is intended to give the presi-
dent authority to designate such areas in
the public forest reserves as should in his
opinion be set aside for the protection of
game or of other animals, birds or fish, and
be recognized as breeding place therefor.
The bill further provides that when such
areas have been so designated, hunting,
trapping, killing or capture of game or
other animals, birds or fish upon the lands
of the United States within the limits of
said areas shall be unlawful The MAXI
mum penalty for the violation of the pro-
visions of the act is a fine of $500 and six
months Imprisonment
The act is not intended to cover the pro-
lection of such birds and animals as are,
or may hereafter be, declared injurious by
the laws of the state or territory in which
such reserves are situated. 1t is the pur-
pose of the act to protect from trespass the
public lands of the United States and the
animals. birds and fish which may be
thereon, and not to interfere with the OPP
Grafton of the local game laws as affecting
state or territorial lands.
The National Association of Audubon So
cieties is working energetlcally in the inter
est of this measure. and it solcts the CO.
operation of all who are in favor of the
establishment of the proposed game refugees
or reservations. All wild animal life is
gradually being reduced by fire and gun,
and it is high time that something practical
be done to save what is left.
The National Association of Audubon So
cieties is an Incorporated body, organized
to secure protection for wild birds and anil
mails. 1t is not yet endowed. but is entirely
dependent on membership fees for funds
with which to carry on it's work. An an
nual membership is s., and the entire sum
is used for actual protection work in the
several branches. The officers work with
out pay, and they earnestly appeal to the
public for aid in the great economic and
aesthetic work Of bird protection A few
hundred additional members Just now wils
enable the society to greatly enlarge its
work
Detailed reports Of the work of the asso-
citation will be cheerfuly mailed on appli-
cation to me at 141 Broadway. New York
