srecial to The Herald
PASADENA, Sept. Monthly open
meetings will be held by the Audubon
society this winter, at which talks and
illustrated lectures on the subject OF
bird life and bird protection will be
used to arouse wider interest in the
subject.
This action was decided on yesterday
at an executive committee meeting of
the society, which has $50 members
here. The first meeting will be an
nounced shortly.
DR.. Emily G. Hunt is chairman of the
committee appointed to arrange these
public meetings. and is now working to
secure an attractive list of speakers.
1t is probable that one of the first will
be Mrs. Elizabeth Grinnell of this city,
who has attained a national reputation
by her literary work on bird life.
The Audubon society is at present
giving out a large amount of bird liter
ature, and is beginning a vigorous war
in this city against woman's habit of
wearing plumes and feathers. 1t Is
also endeavoring to have all ranch own

DELEGATES BAND THEMSELVES
FOR TEAM WORK IN SOUTH

Southern California delegates who
came to Los Angeles yesterday in ad-
vance of the Stockton Democratic con-
vention spent busy day.
Shortly before IL o'clock they assem-
bled in the Los Angeles county Demo-
cratic headquarters in the Fay build
ing at the call of Chairman Albert M.
Norton of the county committee.
1t was agreed in the informal talks
held there that Bryan's chances in Cal
ifornia were good, but concerted, eff
fective work was needed, and the best
way to get such results was by organ
ization.
All the help possible from the nation
al committee in the way of funds,
speakers and literature was deemed
worth working for, and to get this q
plan of leaving the pulling" largely in
the hands Of a committee was deemed
advisable.
Primarily to assure team work at the
Stockton convention an advisory execu-
tive committee of five was determined
on, and the services OF these men may
be continued in other ways, or the COM
mittee may be enlarged.
The men selected were Boyd of San
Bernardino, Campbell of Riverside,
Palmer of San Diego, Price of Orange
and Burke of Los Angeles. These men
are experienced campaigners and are
the selections of their respective county
colleagues.
AS some of the delegates were unable
to get to the morning session, it was
deemed best to hold a final conference
at Stockton tonight at o'clock, in
which some members who went north
Monday or who left Los Angeles last
night on the 11:30 Overland train will
also be present.

Delayed by an oil train wreck at
Lang station the Southern California
delegation to the state Democratic con-
yention at Stockton left Los Angeles
after o'clock last night instead OF at
| 5. The coast line route was utilized
and 1t is proposed to go via San Jose
and Niles, meeting the delegation IN
Stockton at noon today a few hours
| late.
| Conferences yesterday between the
delegates from the six southern coun-
ties led to the banding of interests by
means of which Southern California
will be In a position to obtain more
recognition from the national COM
mittee in it's efforts on behalf of Will
liam Jennings Bryan for president than
would be possible under unorganized
conditions.
To insure better team work these
southerners formed themselves into
the Southern California Democratic
association for effective campaign
work.
No congressional nomination for the
Seventh district to oppose Congress-
man James McLachlan will be made at
Stockton, but the nominating conven-
ton will be held in Los Angeles on the
return of the delegates from the north.
Last night the names most promt-
nently mentioned for congressman We're
Joseph Call, Oscar e. Parish and Mat
tison B. Jones, the latter being pro-
posed by the machine element.
While conferences have been in prog
ress for several days between delegates
regarding the Stockton convention, the
final and decisive gathering of the
Southern California contingent, partic-
ularly Los Angeles county, will be at
o'clock tonight at the hotel headquar-
ters In Stockton.
An advisory executive committee has
been named to act during the Stockton
convention which will be of service to
the Southern California contingent in
disposing Of debatable questions.
These committeeman are Boyd of
San Bernardino, Campbell of Riverside,
Palmer of San Diego, Price of Orange
and Burke of Los Angeles.

BY Associated Press
BOSTON, Sept. 1.-Succumbing to the
deadly fumes of burning pitch and

partly overcome before he was rescued
by shipmates.

The fire, which did only slight dam
age, is supposed to have been caused
by spontaneous combustion.
The Puritan Is in command of Capt.
Chapman and had taken on a cargo of
$4,000 barrels of tar, oil, pitch and
oakum.
Capt. Chapman sent Seaman Olsen
down into the forpeak to stow away a
SAIL When the man failed to return
three other men went down.
Finally Capt. Chapman ordered Mate
Hatfield and Seamen Roberts and Nc
Lane to investigate. AS they reached
the foot of the ladder they almost
stumbled over the bodies of the four
seamen who had gone down before
them.
