CONCERT AT THE PK1NTERY.
Program for Day Before Thanksgiv'
ing Unusually Elaborate.

There will be music in the government
printing office on the day before Thanks
giving day. Rehearsals for the free con-
cert are being held nearly every day on
the seventh floor of the new building
by the Government Printing Office Phil
harmonic Society, under the direction Of
Leader Lineback. The program this year
will be more pretentious than anything
heretofore attempted.
The concert will begin at 1910 o'clock
pm., and the Government Printing Office
Orchestra will assist. The formation Of
the Philharmonic Society dates from the
time Mr.. Lineback, the leader, organized
a male chorus some years ago to cele-
brate holidays during the lunch hour of
the preceding day. The addition of la
dies voices met with instant success. The
main stairway and halls on former Occa-
sions were crowded from the seventh to
the first floor, and the main complaint
has been that there is not room for all
who wish to attend. The members Of
'the society are:
Miss Kate NJ. Ellis, Miss Nellie Ruck-
Burgess. Miss Matilda +. koester. Mrs.
Clara B. Hollinger. Miss Catherine
Sweeney, Miss Emile G.. Morell, Miss
Minnie Gerstenderfer, Mrs. Jennie L..
Thornton, Miss Florence S. Harries Miss

PROTECTING WILD BIRDS.
Mr.. Finley Lectures on "The Trail Of
the Plume Hunters

William l.. Finley, author Of "Ameri-
can Birds and we'll known as a lee
turer on bird life. gave an illustrated
talk on THE Trail of the Plume Hunt
ers' last night at George Washington
results accomplished by plume hunters
on the Pacific coast
According to Mr.. Finley, the Ameri-
can egret. or white heron. has been prac-
tically exterminated through the west.
After several years search for these
birds he has seen but two specimens
where thousands formerly lived The
plumes of these birds were SO rare that
the hunters often made $500 or $500
day shooting in the colonies where the
birds nested. One hunter made $1,000 in
a day and a half shooting in southern
Oregon in 1898.
The western grebe is another bird that
will be exterminated unless protected
from the plume hunters, he said. The
snowy white breasts Of the grebe are
used FOR coats and capes. When made
up in this way these skins have caught
the fancy of the wealthy women Of the
east. and for such articles they pay big
prices.
Mr.. Finley is lecturer for the National
Association of Audubon Societies. His
work was highly complimented yester<
day by President Roosevelt. 1t was
through the exploration and efforts Of
Mr.. Finley that the President last Au-
gust set aside two extensive areas in
southern Oregon and northern Califor-
mia for the protection Of wild birds
These are the Klamath Lake reservation
and the Malheur Lake reservation. They
are the largest and most important re-
solely for the preservation of our wild
fowl

RECENT RIVER COLLISION.
Hearing Of Testimony Regarding

The investigation of the charges against
the masters Of the steamer Washington
and the ferryboat Lackawanna by In
spectors White and Wright of the steam
boat inspection service of the Department

out of the collision of the two steamers
the morning of November 3, resulting
in the death of man and the injury of
several other persons.
After the report of The Star closed
yesterday Capt. kendrick of the Lacka-
wanna, several members of his crew,

the accident and others testified. In all
twenty-three witnesses were examined
yesterday. Gen. Edwin NJ. Coates a re-
tired army officer, and P. j. Doyle,
seaman gunner. gave important testimony
as to the collision. Several passengers
who were on board the Lackawanna at
the time of the disaster testified that the
ferryboat iad come to a standstill when
the crash came. There were other pas
sengers who declared the Lackawanna
was going at full speed when the two
boats came together. The testimony of
all showed that both steamers were sound
ing fog signals from their whistles at the
time.
The testimony In shorthand was taken
to Baltimore by the inspectors to he tran
scribed. 1t will then be submitted to the
department here and a decision is eX-
pected in about two weeks.

RoLL1Na-cHA1R TRUST BUsTs.
Death Blow to Seaside Octopus Dealt
BY Court.

ATLANTIC CITY. November 14.-This
city has real trust buster in District
Court Judge Robert Ingersoll. He has
waded into the boardwalk rolling chair
octopus and put it out of business at
one stroke.
"The combination he holds. formed
apparently to force from pleasure seeking
visitors the highest price possible. is. if
the opinion of this court against public
policy"
The case resulted from an attempt of
the combination to collect bond for $275
from Norris Sasloff. who. they claimed,
had given a rebate of a quarter on dol
lar ride. Lawyers for the trust showed
that Sasloff had signed an agreement to
charge all the traffic would stand with
the alternative of paying 1919 forfeit.
but the court ruled that the bond could
not be collected.
AS a result the roling-chair trust is
broken and New Workers who come here
next year may be able to ride several
blocks without having to hand over their
bank rolls.

What Cardinal Logue Says.

This terrible story of Father Kelley does
not sound very much like the speeches
which Cardinal Logue has made since his
return from his visit to the United States
He has addressed many public meetings
and has never failed ITO describe his ex-
periences and observations in this coun-
try. And he is enthusiastic over the sue
cess. the prosperity and the influence of
the Irish emigrant in America. His emf
hence was profoundly impressed with the
success and the contentment Of the Irish
American, and seems to think the wealth
and prosperity of the United States are
very largely due to his ability and enter
prise.
There is an anti-emigration society in
Ireland, with branches in all the large
cities and towns. which makes spasmodic
efforts to restrain the stream of young
people that is constantly flowing toward

Mrs Sage offered 100000 to the Ameri-

like sum be raised by subscription and
cash before January L. 1909, and that the
million dollars be set aside as a perma-

used in Bible publication, translation and
distribution. Rev. John Fox, the gen.
eral secretary, held conference with the
board of directors of the local branch
recently and suggested that $1,000 was a
fair apportionment to be expected from
Washington.

But the Irish Still Emigrate.

Notwithstanding these terrible stories.
the immigration from Ireland continues IS
rapid as before. and the amount Of money
sent from this country by immigrants TO
their families and friends at home is
enormous. During the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1908. the number Of money or
ders- purchased in the United States for
the United Kingdom. and mostly for Ire
land. was S47, ~, and they. represented
value OF S11. $50 O2S. The number and
value Of postal orders sent during the
past year was not so large because of the
financial panic and depression In this
country These figures include only the
amount that was forwarded through the
Post Office Department. and it may be
said that an equal and perhaps an even
greater sum was sent through the banks
and steamship companies.
