AGAINST CHILD LABOR
BISHOP POTTER URGES ALL IN
TEREsTs TO JOIN HANDS.

NEW YORK, March 22.-The Auxiliary
League Of New York of the Child Labor
Committee held a meeting yesterday after
noon in the Hudson Theater to formulate
plans for national league to influence
legislation and also to register the names
of all who were opposed to child labor and
would give the movement their active sup
port.
Bishop Potter, DR.. Felix Adler, Mornay
Williams and Mrs. Anna Garlin Spencer
were the speakers.
Nobody who is at all familiar with the
Iaboring classes in the United States today
can be Indifferent to the great problem of
child labor" said Bishop Potter. THE
shocking part Of it all Is that in the land
which aspires to the highest citizenship the
weakest are not protected. The vast SEN
timent which has been awakened all over
this country needs unification to succeed;
There Is an enormous waste Of forces ana
sometimes this waste is accompanied by
clashes of interest. The history OF the
waste Of charity ia yet to be written
NO law you can have put upon your
statute books will be Of the least value
without it's backing of full public senti.
ment, and that you cannot secure without
throwing aside all sectional interests and
working together"
DR.. Felix adler said in part:
THE object Of meeting Is not to seek now

sure there are any such lines. think the
object of such a meeting Is to saturate
our minds with the knowledge OF now

said, that Alabama, the last of the south
ern states to pass a stringent game law, is
now in line, having Joined with the others
about three weeks ago.
Despite the efforts Of the Audubon So
ciety, Mr.. Pearson said, thousands of the
birds are wantonly slaughtered by gunners
each year to supply northern markets with
plumage for women's hats. He had thrown
upon the screen at intervals several views
showing the kind of houses the bird hunters
occupy, and also some private hunting
lodges of rich northerners who take adj
vantage Of the seasons when the shooting
of birds Is allowed
Notwithstanding the fact that the shoot
ing of birds in the south Is allowed at GER
tain seasons, Mr.. Pearson gratifed his
hearers with statistics showing decided i'm
provement in the way of wild-bird protec-
ton since the Audubon societies have di-
rected their efforts along the lines Of pro-
lection.
In advance Of the lecture the report of
the treasurer Of the local society was read
and showed a substantial balance on the
right side Of the ledger. The president Of
the association made an appeal for more
members SO that the work undertaken in
the District may proceed without Interrupt
ton, and to. the end that the birds that
make the District their home will be well
taken care Of.

Heavy Current in Potomac.

The high water at Cumberland and along
the upper reaches Of the Potomac generally
Is being felt in the return Of the heavy
current. Friday. Saturday and Sunday Of
last week the current was exceptionally
strong and gave the steamers coming up
the river considerable trouble. Monday It
had run off. and the tides began to ebb
and flow as usual. During the night We'd
nesday there was another rush Of water
from the upper river, and yesterday and
today the current has been heavy, but It
is not running with the volume or strength
Of last week. The rivermen believe 1t will
run itself out by tonight and that It will
not give them any great amount of trouble.
There is absolutely no indication of any
extraordinary high water in the Potomac
In this vicinity.

BIRD PROTECTION IN SOUTH.
Lecture Before Audubon Society by
Mr.. r. g. Pearson.

Mr.. T. G. Pearson. secretary Of the Ma
tional Audubon Society and game commits
sioner of North Carolina, gave an Illus
trated lecture on BIRD Protection in the
South in George Washington University
hall Tuesday night before large and en-
thusiastic gathering. Some of the remarks
by Mr.. Pearson were somewhat personal. He
scored the ladies present for wearing bird
plumage in their hats, and doubtless the
majority of them carefully inspected their
hats on their arrival at home to learn to
what extent they had been innocent ac-
completes in the slaughter Of feathered
songsters.
The dangers Mr.. Pearson encountered In
getting the photographs from which the
slides were made could only be appreciated
by those who saw the pictures and heard
the lecture. It Is hard to conceive OF any
one. unless his heart and soul were in the
work, endangering his life by climbing to
the height Of seventy-five or a hundred feet
to take photographs Of different stages Of
bird life. But this Is what Mr. Pearson did
on a prolonged trip along the south Atlantic
coast line.
He told of the many difficulties expert
enced by the game -wardens of North Caro-
lima and adjacent states in protecting birds
from the ravages Of gunners. professional
