Portland, Nov. 55.-Oregonian:
Fifty pair of English Skylarks I'M
ported by the Song Bird Club will
be liberated this afternoon by B.
Fallows, president, and G. F. PAn-
ger, one of the leading members.
Part of the birds will be given their
liberty on Council Crest and the
others will be released on the mead
ows east of the city. It is thought
the birds will thrive in both locali-
ties. Il. 81. 4. ...-.-.. ...,..
Stretching to the south of Coun-
ell Crest is a vast area of rich mead
ow land, while east of the river
there is also great deal of grass
land. The climate of England is
very similar to that of Western Or
egon, having considerable rain In
the winter, and for this reason it Is
thought that the birds will have no
trouble in shifting for themselves.
1t is hoped that within two or
three years the meadows around
Portland will be we'll stocked with
the skylarks, as they propagate rap
idly. Each pair under favorable
conditions brings up about ten
fedglings in a season. The males
are wonderful singers, but the fe-
males are mute. The mails sings
only while ascending high into tie
air and while descending.
Next spring the Song Bird Club
will import several dozen English
nightingales ard black capped nigh
ingales. They are described as
beautiful singers. Everyyear birds
will be in ported from England and
continental Europe until song
birds of all descriptions abound
here. About Is years ago dozsn
skylarks were liberated near Port
land. Tney have spread all over
the Willamette Valley, but in NO
one locality are they found in large
numb bers. There are so few, in fact
that they are rarely seen, but occa-
sionally reports are received oftheir
presence. ..-.... -.-
The Song Bird Club has mem
bership of about 40 persons. 1t was
organized several months ago for
the purpose Of introducing song
birds in Oregon, and the skylarks
are the first to arrive. The mem
bers of the club are regularly as
sessed to meet the expenses OF Inn
porting birds, but there is some talk
of asking the Oregon Legislature to
make an appropriation to assist IN
the work.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 23.-Po-~
lice Sergeant McPhee in the trial
Of Sidney Sloane, the youthful slay-
er of his father, testified late yester-
day that the boy voluntarily con-
fessed to having committed the
crime. The 1S-yesr.old defendant
was on the verge of breaking down,
when the gruesome spectacle of the
wheelbarrow,- the axe with which
the brutal crime was committed and
the bloody rags were presented to
the jury.
Mrs. Sloan completely lost her
control and began weeping aloud.
She placed her hands over her eyes
and gave full vent to Der grief.
A remarkable case of devotion is
that exhibited by Mrs. J. F. Sloane
towards her son. She has not only
sacrificed her fortune to, save her
boy from the gallows but has been
constant attendant at the trial.

during the tedious work of the first
eight days in securing the jury.
She daily sits by the side of her

contrast with that Of the boy him.

and it is only on rare occasions that

nesses or attorneys are saying.
When Prosecutor Barnhart was
making his statement TO the jury in
which he pictured the horrid man
ner in which the crime was COM
mitted, the father being struck
down while engaged in eating
light luncheon preparatory to re-
firing with his son for the nj ght, fol-

dragging of the body down the
stairs, calmly emptying a Wheel
barrow of its load of apples and de-
posting therein the body and wheel
it to an alley, where it was uncere-
moniously dumped upon a pile of
refuse, the young patricide, sitting
by his mother, showed no emotion
but cody stared at the prosecutor.
At the opening of the trial the
youthful defendant received the tes-
timony with bravado that was re.
ally astonishing, but as the evidence
became strong ard officers told Of
the boys confession and related
other matters connected with the
murder, S doey Sloane becan d

MYSTERY IN
BURNING OF
The altoona

Chatham, Mass. Jan. 13-The British
barkentine Altoona, which went aground
at shovelful shoal Thursday and which.
after being freed by passing tug. was
abandoned by her crew and later was
found 10 be on fire, sank in the middle OF
the Pollock Rip channel early today and
is now a serious menace to navigation
The mizzenmast was burned away but
the foremast and maihmast are still In
place.
The vessel is in six and one-half faith
oms OF water. west northwest from the
Pollock Rip lightship. one and one-half
miles distant.
The circumstances surrounding the sew
eral incidents connected with the sinking
or the barkentTne 'ffave aroused more In
terest than Is usually manifested in the
sinking OF a ship and II is considered
probable that an investigation will result.
The Altoona was first noticed by the
life saving crew at Monomoy Point,
when she went aground Thursday after
noon. The crew went out to the vessel.
but was unable TO render any assistance.
Later in the Ssy the tug Gypsum King,
passing to the westward with "A tow Of
barges put a line on board the Altoona
and pulled her into deep water.
Captain Card requested that he be
towed TO New York, but the captain OF
the tug declined 10 do so, fearing that
the barkentine would sink during the
voyage. The Altoona had five feet of
water in her hold and the ten men COM
prising the crew were set at work at
the pumps. In the meantime Captain
Card had informed the life savers that
l. "A
voyage to St John, n. b., but he ar
ranged to burn signal lights If he needed
assistance. At IL o'clock Thursday night
the patrol at the life saving station saw
a red signal light and the crew were
called out and went out TO the barken-
tine again.
When the vessel was reached It was
found that the crew had abandoned their
efforts to free the hold OF the water and
had launched the boats ready TO row
ashore. At first Capt. Card declined to
join his men and announced his intention
OF remaining on board the sinking vessel.
but later was prevailed upon 10 join his
men and go ashore. The captain and
crew were taken care of at the life-saving
station. Early yesterday morning the life
savers were astonlshed to see that the
barkentine was burning. Thus far no
satisfactory explanation has been made
as to how the ship caught fire.
To the men at the station Capt. Card
stated that everything was shipshape when
he left the vessel and he could not ac-
count for the fire. Further than that he
was not communicative The crew Of
the vessel. mostly colored. have nothing
to say about the grounding of the vessel
or about the fire which broke out later
Capt Card and men left the life saving
station this morning and came TO this
town.
