NO LABOR PARHDEs.
Chicago Will Save It's Money for a
Big Defense Fund.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Chicago has seen the
last of its Labor day parades, at least for
several years to come. The annual long
march through the streets by thousands of
unionlsts was abandoned yesterday by the
Federation of Labor and Associated Build
ing Trades as being an "antiquated and
luxurious method of displaying labor's
strength before the public.
With the two leading labor bodies against
the project there is no possibility of a pa
rade this year or next.
President John Fitzpatrick of the fedora
ton advised the unions to save the money
which they would expend in buying uni
forms, banners, carriages and bands and
put 1t into big defense fund with which.
he said, Labor may keep a stiff upper lip
and talk as saucily as it pleases to en-
p.oyers."

Developments Expected in the Case Of
the 900 Fine Imposed
on the Southern.

ASHEVILLE, ". c., July 22.-The penalty
clause of the new state rate bill was de-
clared unconstitutional and void by United
States Judge Pritchard today James H.
Wood district passenger agent of the
Southern, and C. Wilson, the ticket agent
of the same road. who were recently SEN
fenced to thirty days on the chain gang for
violation of the law, were discharged on
habeas corpus proceedings.
In his decision Judge Pritchard said that
the penalties inflicted by the statute would
close the doors to judicial hearing, and
would amount to two and a half million
dollars a day if the penalty was enforced
on the sale of each ticket, which is eight
times more than the amount involved in
the original suit. Also that it would do
violence to the comfy which exists between
the state and federal courts. While not i'm
putting any improper motives to officials or
state courts, Judge Pritchard remarked
that if such course of conduct was per-
mitted to be pursued it would have the eff
feet of defeating the jurisdiction of the
United States courts.

The trouble over the apportionment seems
to be that Gov. Hughes wants it made

the politicians want it made to serve po-
litical ends. Gov. Hughes would like to
have the assembly districts la d out on the

like to have them planned to favor this

interest in the case, and refuses to get eX-

In a Colorado Town They Destroy
Birds Nests and Gnaw Roofs.
Greedy is contemplating organizing
a squirrel hunt to rid the city of the
hundreds of squirrels which make
their home in Lincoln park and which
destroy the eggs of the songbirds. Ten
years ago Greeley was the home of
many linnets, wild canaries, knocking
birds and robins, writes correspond
ent of the Denver Republican, but
only few are seen now, and there
are none left in the trees in the park
because of the depredations of the
squirrels.
Eight years ago some one brought
two pairs of squirrels from the east
and made houses for them in the
park. where they and the progeny be-
came great attractions. They have
multiplied so fast, however, as to
overrun the park and extend their
nesting places to private grounds.
In several cases they have gnawed
| through the roofs of houses in order
to make nests in the garrets. At first
| it was believed that the English
sparrow had driven away the other
birds, but investigation proves that
not even a sparrow's nest can be
found. - ss,sS ..
The placing of the tin collars from
eight to ten inches wide around every
tree not in the park was suggested
for the protection of the birds, but
this win prove no remedy because of
the ability of the squirrels to spring
from one tree top to another. The
talk of exterminating the squirrels
has been going on for two years and
people say they must go.

The outlook for the banking in

an unsuccessful one, in which four

that step, says the New York Times.
With reference to banknotes it is
