COLLECTOR FINED
FOR ROBBLNC NEST
FIRST VIOLATOR OF NEW LAW
ARRESTED
Audubon Society Makes Itself Felt
and LankershIm Resident Pays
the County Fifty
Dollars

The little feathered songsters whose
miniature dried grass and horsehair
hatcheries have nestled snugly under
cave and on wind-rocked bough around
Lankershim will, from the present,
carol their melodious lays with a
stronger note of gladness, and the
sound will not be hushed at the ap-
proach of their former enemy, the
ubiquitous and unsympathetic egg col
lector.
The great Audubon society of the
United States has made itself felt in
this vicinity for the first time under
the law recently passed by the legis-
lature, which prohibits the robbing of
birds nests.
The law was framed on a plan SIM
liar to those adopted in so many states
and protects all kinds of insectiverous
and song birds, and it's first violation
in Los Angeles county was discovered
through the efforts of William Nor
gan, county game warden who made
visit to Lankershim and purchased
two eggs from B. F. Franklin for so
cents. He later swore out a complaint
against the collector and used the
eggs as evidence.
Morgan asked Franklin at the time
of the purchase if a permit was not
required to carry on his work, but
was told that an application had been
made to secure permission without
success, and that he had made no fur
ther effort, and did not think 1t neces-
sary.
The case was tried in Justice e. e.
Selph's court yesterday and ended
with the imposition of a fine of $25
against the egg collector.
