PRISONERS GET NO FEES.
Convicted, They Must Appear as Wit
nesses without Remuneration.

In response to a request Of Coroner
hewitt, Corporation Counsel Z. II. Thomas
has submitted an opinion TO the Commits
sioners, in which it is held that persons
detained in the workhouse because of con-
viction. are not entitled to witness fees
because the time of such persons is for
feited to the government.
Mr.. Thomas says: IF the witness, how
ever, is detained fer want of security for
his appearance, or is IN custody awaiting
trial for an alleged Offense. it seems that
he is entitled to witness fees"
Mr. Thomas refers to the decision Of the
Comptroller of the Currency, in which It
was decided that a person in custody
awaiting trial for an alleged offense, who
appears before a United States marshal as
a witness, is entitled TO the fee provided
by law for such attendance.

Washington. Jan. 2 l&3-
Mr. Dear Mr.. Carnegie. am 80 much pleased
at learning FROM Secretary Root what you going
10 do for the Bureau Of American Republics. You
have already done substantially the same thing for
the cause Of peace az The Hague. This new gift
II yours has an almost o. quite, equal significance
a. far a. the cause q peace IN the western hemi-

Republics IS striving ~ accomplish for this hemi-

heartily
Wishing you many happy new years. believe ne.
sincerely yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The gift Of Mr.. Carnegie will bring the
total fund available FOR the new home Of
the bureau Up 10 a trihe more than a
million dollars Three years ago the board
Of governors Of the bureau decided that a
new building should be constructed. The
bureau now occupies a rented building.
formerly residence, at the corner of
jackson place and Pennsylvania avenue,
and the structure is altogether inadequate
for the needs of the bureau. When the
decision was reached three years ago that
a new building should be erected. the limit
Of cost was fixed at Sl5. 600 which sum
would include the cost Of the site. The
cost was TO be borne 10y the various Amer
lean nations in proportion to their popula-
ton just as the expenses Of the bureau
are paid
The share Of the United States was
fixed at $1,000. Secretary Of State Hay
sent a letter TO the President on the sub
iect, which resulted In message TO Con-
gress. asking the appropriation Of 81 600
Tor the purpose. 4 bill Was drafted and
passed the Senate. but failed i'm the House.
Last summer, when Mr.. Root was pre-
pairing for the Pan-AmeriCan conference.
he ran across the old message Of the Pres
idcnt and found that the appropriation
asked for had not been made. Accord
ingly. he went 10 the Appropriations Com
mittees of Congress and urged that funds
be- provided He suggested S300.t00 instead
of the $1,000, and the larger sum was
appropriated.
OF the original estimated cost Of SIS, 200
for the building. the share Of the Latin
American countries was $4,000. Thus the
bureau now has 500 600 from Mr.. Carnegie,
$4,000 from the United States. and 81, 00o
from the Latin-American countries, a
total Of $i.004.oo0
The architecture Of the new building Will
be typicalIy I.atin-American- It viii have
reading-rooms containing newspapers and
/ periodicals from al Central and South
/ American countries. There will be Offices
Of the bureau and an elaborate library.

martin colonies is likely to result and |
new centers of distr button to &c
formed most useful.
From the standpoint of the farmer |
and the orchardist perhaps no birds |
more useful than the swallows exist. |
They have been described as the ght
cavalry of the avian army. Specially
adapted for flight and uneXcelled in
ial evolut ons, they have few rivals
in the art of capturing insects i'll mid
air They eat nothing Of value to
man except a few predaceous wasps
and bugs. and in return for their serV-
ices in destroying vast numbers OF
noXious insects ask only for harbOrage
and protection. 1t is to the fact thai
they capture their prey ON the wing
that their peculiar value to the cotton
grower is due. Orioles do royal salN-
ice in catching weevi!s on the bOllS;
and blackbirds, wrens, fiycatchers, an
others contribute to the good work,
but when swallows are migrating over
the cotton feds they find the weeVils
flying in the open and wage active war
against them. As many as Al adult
weevils have been found in the storl-
ach of a single cliff swallow.
What may be termed the interstate
relations of birds are not always as
simple as in the case of the swallows.
Some birds are most desirable summer
residents Of northern states, but when
migrating greatly damage certain
crops in the southern states. Not 50
with the swallows. Their beauty,
their graceful fight. and their socia-
bility insure them a welcome every
where ard endear them to every love"
of nature Their esthetic value, how.
ever, great as it is, rs not so import
ant as their economic worth, so con
tant and effective is the warfare they
wage against the insect hosts which
but for them and other avian bene-
factors would render successful agri-
culture impossible. To the southern
states may safely be intrusted thu
duty of protecting and augmenting in
every possible way the numbers Of
resident birds that prey upon the boil
Weev-l But, declares Mr.. HenshaW. IT
is for the northern states to aid the
good work so far as lies in their
power. An enlightened patriotism
| knows no state boundaries. The in
sect enemy of the farmer Of either
| district is the enemy Of the common
veal and only from cooperation can
| come a fun measure of success.
