WOULD SAVE BIRDS
Mayor SchoIey Orders Police TO
Protect Song Birds From
Destruction by Boys
PROSECUTIONS TO BE MADE

AS a result of many complaints from
people of the city against the killing
of song birds, Mayor Scholey has taken
action and will in the future appear as
the protector Of the song birds. Since
the opening Of the spring there have
been many complaints that the birds are
being slaughtered and members Of the
Outdoor Art Association and other as
sociations in the city have demanded
that the birds be given proper protec-
ton. In report recently sent out from
the state university, the scientists there
have made'a strong plea for the preser-
walton Of the birds claiming that they
are doing a great Of deal Of good in
Idevouring insects. It is noted that
there are few song birds about Kenosha
this year and it is said that this fact
has been brought about by the fact that
hundreds of the birds were slaughtered
in the early spring The cold weather
of the early part of May resulted in
many Of the birds dying.
The matter of enforcing the law
against the slaughter Of harmless birds
has formerly been left to the deputy
game warden of the district, but the
game warden has been pretty busy look
ing after illegal fishing and he has had
little time to give to the birds. In
order that the law may be properly en-
forced the mayor and chief Of police
have issued the following official no.

Washington has a law requiring
boys and girls working for wages to
undergo a physical examination to de-
termine whether or not their health
is such as to justify their being en-
ployed. In an examination just con-

were rejected. This shows conclusive
ly that in the national capital girls
are healthier than boys. The cause
is probably the smoking of cigaretts
and other vicious habits of the boys.

escort. On arriving, two of the sol diers took stand before the two win dows and the third at the door. Deutsch undressed and handed his clothing and purse to one of the soldiers. The soldier felt quite safe, thus holding the prisoners cloth ing, for the cold was so severe there
 was no question of anyone leaving the bath naked. However, when Deutsch entered the hot room he found con-
 rade, who by previous plan brought him a bundle of ordinary civilian
 clothing, which Deutsch put on at once, and with an assured air march
 ed out of the premises without any challenge.
 None of the guards paid any at itention to the private gentleman leay- ing the baths, and Deutsch easily es-
 caped The soldiers waited long for their bather, and on finding that he had escaped, could not explain how he got away. Only long afterwards did it dawn on the officials that the prisoner must have passed the guards
 in disguise.
 In 1906 an audacious hoax was perpetrated in Russian Poland which resulted in the libration of 10 politi- cal prisoners who were condemned to death. The friends who assisted them
 knsw that failure in the slightest de- tail of their plan meant death to themselves as well as to the .politi- calls" The prison administration re- ceived a telephone message purport- ing to come from the chief of the city police, saying that the governor of Warsaw desired the transfer of the no prisoners from the Paviak to the citadel They were to be conveyed by an officer who would bring his own guard. ....-..--. ..- The message was taken in good faith. One evening a man in the uni
 form of a gendarme officer appear ed at the prison and presented an official document ordering the trans. fer. In the whole proceeding there
 was nothing to rouse suspicion. The officer had brought six policemen
 with him, and no other escort was
 sent. The gendarme certified that
 the prisoners had been delivered to
 his charge.
 The prisoners were placed in a car riage. The only prison servant with
 the party was the coachman. As the
 prison van was being driven down a deserted street the coaehman was chloroformed. and the next morning
 was found inside the van, while
 around were lying prison clothes, uni

|DEcADENr CONNECTICUT TOWN
Where More Cofins Than Baby Car.
 riages Are Sold.

Striking evidence of the decadent tendencies of some of the rural com- munities of Connecticut Is supplied by official statistics which have recently been compiled and cover the calendar year 1906. In nearly quarter pr the country communities deaths are of more frequent occurrence than births. The sale of collins exceeds the sale of baby carriages.
 In 33 of the towns whose popula- ton is less than 5000 the deaths dur \ ing the year in the obituary depart ment contained more subjects than l the birth column.
 Moreover, in 10 towns-Andover, Ashford. Bethlehem, Brookfield, Ca naan, Chapin, Litchfield, Rocky Hill, ESimsbury and Westbrook-the census of births and deaths maintained an exact balance on the teeter board of vital statistics. Killingly is the only town of over 5000 inhabitants in ! which there was a surplus of deaths. and as the natural loss of population there was only one it is hardly worth mentioning.
 l The total number of births in the decaying small towns was 907, while the aggregated mortality footed up to 112. The excess of deaths over births was 213. Twenty-four of the towns in which crape was hung on the door more frequently than the cradle was taken down from the attic have 8 population of less than 2,O0O. The towns which have developed 8 mild drift toward race suicide are scattered all over the commonwealth, although some districts are only slightly affected Based upon the vi- tai statistics of 1906 Fairfield county has more patches of decadence than any other county.
 1 Eight towns in that county fur nished more jobs for the gravedigger than for the stork. Windham and Litchfield counties, each with total of five towns in which there was a shortage of births, are tied for second place. New Haven, New London and Middlesex counties each showed four towns of dwindling tendencies, while Hartford and Holland counties each have two entries in the list.
 Brooklyn in Windham county, de- yeloped a greater excess of deaths over births than any other town. The figure was Is, while Cheshire in New Haven county, and Lebanon in New London county, each followed. closely. In each of the three towns the death certificates outnumbered the birth certificates by only one.
 The distribution of the excess of deaths by counties is rather interest- ing, and 1t is as follows: Hartford S.. New Haven AZ, New London 35, Fair field 39, Windham 39, Litchfield 26, Middlesex 14, Holland 10.
 A suggestive and enlightening fact is that in most of the towns in which the processes of physical and social decay are operating the native Yam kee stock still predominates. In large majority of them the infusion of alien blood has been small. Ex- animation of the statistics of the par- entage Indicates the comparatively small part which the immigrant plays in the population of the affected towns.

ESCAPES FROM RUSSIAN PRISONS
Ingenious Sabterfuges of Victims of
 Autocratic Tyranny.

No other country has witnessed so many daring escapes from prison as has Russia. Probably the simplest escape ever effected by a political prisoner was that of the famous Mile Sophie Perovskaya. Belonging to the highest Russian aristocracy, she joined the revolutionary movement, and at the age of IT was arrested, but was liberated In 1878 she was again seized, and was sent to the Arctic re- gions
 On the journey Sophie had several opportunities to escape, but the guards were so kind to her that she would not risk the punishment they would suffer. Finally two guards were put over her who were so brutal that she was freed from conscientious scruples.
 One night the party had to stay at railway station; the two gendarmes slept in the same room as the prison CT, one at the window, the other on the floor before the door. Sophie ap- bearing to be fast. asleep, the guards socn fell asleep, too. The prisoner then rose, tried the door, which she found to open outward, stepped across the slumbering guard and was free. She managed to slip into a train for St Petersburg, while the gendarmes snored on. Sophie took part in the plot for the assassina tion of Alexander II, and was hanged in 1881.
 Leo Deutsch, the revolutionist, has a record for repeated arrests and es- ! capes which is probably without a parallel. Once he escaped through the medium of bath The Russian bath is a national institution. The authority which thinks nothing of freezing, knouting and starving its prisoners, never refuses a demand for bath. All Russian prisons have their bathing establishments. where the prisoners are sent under the es- cort of guards.
 Deutsch demanded to be taken to public bath, saying he did not wish to mingle with the criminals, and was allowed to go, with three soldiers as
