WOOD DUCKS DISAPPEARING.
Audubon Society Says They Are Fast
Becoming Extinct.

Bird lovers say that only heroic meas
ures can today save the wood duck-one
of the most beautiful of American birds
from extinction in this country within q
few years. This is given as the concensus
Of opinion of 200 ornithologists anC
sportsmen in every section of the United
States, from whom reports have been re
celved at the headquarters of the Ma.
lonal Association of Audubon societies
IN New York. On the basis of the re-
turns from these experts, William Dutch
er, president OF the association, has an.
nounced that vigorous campaign will
be instituted in every state legislature fol
a prohibition of the killing, sale or nos
session OF any of this dying race of birds
Tor the next 10 years.
The march of civilization is held some
what responsible by the authorities for
this decline Of the wood duck, which in
years past were shot by the wagon load
and which today are often sent to be
identified as rare specimens. Spring
shooting, pot hunting and general reckless
destruction of the unusually tame and
handsome fowl is, however, assigned Is
the main cause of their decrease, which
has IN many states amounted to from
o. to so per cent. in the last 10 wears
Whlle the increase and spread of popu.
latlon and cultivation have done away
with many of the woods and ponds in
which these brilliantly colored birds
roasted and plunged, it is believed that
II their ,indiscriminate potting can he
stopped by law, there is a good chance
OF still preserving them. Beyond their
marked beauty and gentleness, the
oii5illtnol %. declare, these birds are an
AID to the farmer by reason of their in
ssectivorous qualities and because thew
have absolutely no harmful habits.
FROM pennsylvania one ornithologist
has reported that he had not seen 4 1;y.
ing specimen of wood duck since 1901
thn9 4h IN South Carolina has declared
mat there We're not five TODAY where

had been seen in Wyoming bv another

.ALABAyA'S CYLINDER
DELAYS LONG TRIP

Washington, d. c., Sept. LIT is
generally believed at the navy de-
partment that the accident to the
battleship Alabama will doubtless re-
suit in delaying the departure OF the
Atlantic fleet on its trip around the
Horn to the Pacific. The Alabama
has a bad crack in the head of one
OF its engine cylinders and the dam
age must be repaired before 1t can
undertake the long trip to the Pacific.
At least four months win be required
to make the repairs, which Will keep
the ship in home waters nearly a
month after the time scheduled for
departure, December Is.
The department issued hurry up
orders for a new cylinder head. The
Alabama will proceed 20 the Brook
lyn navy yard as soon as the casting
Is ready and the substitution will be
rushed as rapidly as possible. The
vessel is now at Cape Cod bay UNDER
going target practice. The injury
will mot interfere with this work, but
is too serious to admit of the long
journey to the Pacific.

BOYS BURNED TO DEATH
BY TURPENT|NE

Poured Fluid on Bonfire and
We're Literally Cooked

BODIES SCORCHED
BEYOND RECOGNITION

Kingman, Ariz., Sept. 19.-Albert
and Frank Dryden, aged 10 and s
years respectively, were burned to
death at their home in this place
yesterday by the explosion of a can
of turpentine which Albert was pour
ing on a bonfire. During the tenn
porary absence of their mother, the
boys built a fire in the yard, and
when it failed to burn properly Al
bert secured a quart bottle of tur"
pentine from the house, which he
poured on the blaze An explosion
resulted and the burning turpentine
was thrown over the two boys, their
clothing being burned off and their
flesh cooked before neighbors could
rescue them, Their mother return
ed within five minutes after the ac-
cident. ss.z A
Both are Dead.
The boys were taken to the home
of a neighbor, and a physician sum-
moned but they died during the day,
Their father is an employe at the
Enterpriss mine, and though a phone
message was at once sent to him, he
was not able 10 reach home until
after their deaths.
Their bodies We're so badly burn
ed as to leave them almost unrecog-
nizable as those Of human beings
and their faces were scorched out oil
all resemblance to their usual ap'
pearance. The accident is the worst
that ever occurr ed in Kingman.
