AUDUBON SOCIETY WILL
PROTECT BIRDS HAUNTS
SELECTED
Here the Organization Will Establish
Preserve for Rare Species
and VIII Guard II
Carefully

NEW YORK, Aug 16.-The National
Association of Audubon Societies will i'm
mediately undertake the project of max
ing from the unknown island region of
the Gulf of Mexico great reserve for
the birds of the nation.
Reports of dangerous and difficult
exploration of the remote sea isles off the
coast of Louisiana from the Sabine river
to Pass a rOutre have just been received
from II. H. Kopman. the celebrated
ornithologist who was dispatched by the
association several months ago in quest
of complete information on this practi-
cally unknown territory of the United
States
AS a result it has been decided to
add all of this insular tract. If possible,
TO the reservation of twenty-seven similar
islands now maintained by the Audubon
workers east of the MississippPs mouth
as undisturbed havens for the hosts of
birds that wing by looking for breeding
places.
Application for the right to retain for
this purpose such of these islands as are
government property will be made by
the Audubon association to the federal
authorities in the near future, and every
effort exerted to secure similar rights
on islands held by private interests.
tion east of the Mississippi prompt assist
ance has always been given the Audubon
workers by the government in the acqui-
sition of island territory, which they
have found heavy financial burden to
acquire from private holders and main
tain.
With the island stretch both east and
west Of the delta of the Mississippi thus
acquired, this country will afford its
fr1o
ing reserve in the world.
Discover New Islands
The Kopman explorations, as reported
TO William butcher, president of the as
sociation, today will prove a valuable
addition to geographical as we'll as ornl-
biological records Many islands NOT
named on the official charts were discov-
cred and several colonies of birds were
found whose existence in these particular
regions could previously be only conjec-
tured.
In all some 22.7OO pelicans. terms. black
skimmers, herons and gulIs were found
in breeding condition. Although on

pay practically no attention to man. in

quently molested even in these inaccessi-
Bile breeding grounds.
Most mysterious of all the observa-
tions made by the Audubon expedition
were the 'mud-lumps" of the passes of
the Mississippi outlet. These weird
islands rise, sink and reappear elsewhere
in an unaccountable manner and are used
by the timid bird fiocks very extensively
for breeding colonies.
They often cover an acre and rise six
or eight feet above high tide level in
their shifting processes. The action Of
gas and oil domes and the effects of sedi-
mentation are variously assigned by sci
entists as the causes of these phenomena.
The exploration of this region Is almost

Atlantic coast line of the entire country

BABY DIVIDES A TOWN
INTO WARRlNG FACTIONS

COLUMBUS, Aug. 16.-Cynthia, Pike
county, is split into warning factions all
because a bachelor has refused to kiss
the town baby. Four hundred and six
ty-three persons have kissed little Miss
Margaret Dunham, whose age Is four
and half months. But Ollie Kibler
won't kiss her.
Two years ago Kibler was Tilted by
the child's mother for big Bill Dunham.
whom she married. Ollie then settled
down and became a Grabbed old bache-
lor. A month ago Mrs. Dunham wheeled
the baby out in a new go-cart, and all
the male residents who happened along
stopped and kissed the child, among
them being Nate Giddings, himself a
family man. Ollie Kibler came along
and looked disgusted. Nate invited him
to have kiss, but Ollie said something
about not making fool of himself, and
moved on. Nate and Mrs. Dunham took
offense, the former declaring Ollie
should be tarred ana 1eatnered ana run
out of town.
The town Immediately divided itself in
to two factions, one declaring Ollie to be
a brute, and the other saying the Dun
hams needn't be so touchy and stuck up.
Old man Dunham swore revenge. Short
ly after Ollie neglected to pay his taxes
and Dunham bought the tax title and
made Ollie spend money.
Then Dunham found several of Kib-
ler's cows roaming the streets and had
them driven to the pound, costing Ollie
more money. The position of town
clerk was vacant and Ollie wanted tho
Job, but Dunham defeated him. Kibler
now wants revenge and declares he will
run for town treasurer just to down
the other fellow" Meantime the war
wages merrily.

MUST PAY ASSESSMENTS
ON CITY FUMES IN BANK

The state supreme court has just de-
cided that the Farmers and Merchants
National bank must pay the city $4,000 as
an assessment on money deposited in the
bank by the city treasurer.
When Ben Ward was city assessor he
levied an assessment of $4,000 against this
bank on city funds deposited. The city
was then in receipt of no interest, though
now the banks pay 2 per cent
Ward insisted that the bank pay an
assessment, though the city treasurer
said he put the money there simply be-
cause he considered it safer.
The city lost its case in the superior
court and in the appellate court, but the
supreme court has just reversed the lower
courts.
Interest and costs make the sum $4,000
now instead of $4,000.

PUT OVER FOR ONE WEEK
Neglect of Attorney to Call Witnesses
in Matter of Suit Brought by
Fifth Warders Results
in Delay

Because Attorney A D. Warner failed
to serve summons on the officials of the
Union Hollywood Water company to
appear in court yesterday in the case
against the concern and the city of Los
Angeles, instituted by residents of the
Fifth ward, the matter was continued
one week by Judge Walter Bordwell.
The people of the Fifth ward are
petitioning the superior court to restrain
the city from interchanging water with
the Hollywood company, claiming that
the water which is furnished the Fifth
ward by the water company is of an in
ferior quality to the city water distributed
to the other wards
The case promises to be particularly
interesting and yesterday morning the
court room was filed with angry resi-
dents of the Fifth ward.

which was started down from the upper
boundary of Maine some years ago.
At great expense the National associa-
tion of Audubon Societies has now OBJ
tanned full and complete information on
all the haunts and habits of the birds
which frequent the east coast country.
One more survey will be made, as soon
as available funds warrant it, down to
the lower extreme of the 1exas coast.
Eventually the Audubon workers intend
to continue these valuable and produc-
tive observations along the entire line of
the Pacific coast as thoroughly as they
have covered the Atlantic seaboard.

SOME TRANSFER MEN
EVADE WAGON LICENSES

AS lumber companies do not have to
pay a tax it has been discovered by
License Clerk Ed LOWE that some trans
fer wagon owners evade the SO quarterly
tax by putting lumber signs on their
wagons.
The lumber companies hire teamsters to
deliver the lumber usually, as charge
is made for delivery, and thus the wag-
ons are also used for general hauling.

Carlisle Has HEAVY Schedule.

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-New Workers.
naturally are interested in the Carlisle
Indians. AS their game with Prince
ton, November 2. will be the only big
game played here this season.
In all human probability Princeton
will win decisively, but there will be
fight worth seeing no one who has
followed the Carlisle team will doubt
for moment. If the red men were
as good at defense as at offence there
are few teams who would have any
thing on them.
They have about the hardest sched-
ule of any team in the East and always
play for blood.
Between October 26 and November
%, they will plan on successive Satur-
days, the University of Pennsylvania,
Princeton, Harvard, the University of
Minnesota, and the University of Chi
cago. The tireless energy of the In
dian of story was certainly in the
minds of those who planned this foot
ball campaign.
| What college man would want the
| job? If he. were handed such a SEIZED
uel he would think his manager had
gone mad. And yet, the men who have
! learned what wonderful machine the
Indian is know that he will do the
trick. All the braves now in train
ing at Carlisle have their war paint on
and want to get after the big fellows
even if they advance almost in lock,
step-one team hard and fast on thu
heels of another.
The best of the Eastern college
| elevens consider two big games
and those we'll along in the season
quite enough of football at top speet
for one year. But here is a team
which takes five in a row, and all o
them first class men of both the Eas
and West as opponents.
+ Hard as their schedule is the In
dams can be depended upon to give
good account of themselves. TIL
eleven is rich in substitutes, and Il
case of injury to regular men equall
as good can be rushed in to keep tn
fierce red line intact.
