New York, Dec. 29.-Asking Uncle
Sam to act as guardian to all the birds
that flock through his various states
and territories, sportsmen, ornitholo-
gists and agricultural authorities
throughout this country have today
Joined the national association of Au-
dubon societies in urging congress to
provide federal protection for the ma
tons rapidly dying races of migrate
ry birds. Unless these helpless wan
derers who wing their way over the
continent are speedily guarded by fed
eral law at every roint in their travels
many valuable bird species will soon
become extinct. as several have al
ready, it was declared here today by
leaders of this new movement.
AS a measure providing for the prop
err care of it's bird wards by the nation
al government, the sportsmen's and
Audubon organizations announced
today that they would unite to support
the Weeks bill. which was introduced
at Washington last May and is now in
the committee on agriculture of the
house of representatives. This bill
provides for the custody OF all migrate
ry birds to be assumed by the federal
government and authorize the depart
ment of agriculture to determine and
fix closed seasons in all the territory
travelled by the birds that undertake
interstate flights.
Affects Every Section.
Without interfering with the state
law for strictly resident birds, this
proposed federal legislation is designed
to insure protection of the migratory
flocks in the interests of the people of
every section of the country.
Reciting the practical difficulties of
obtaining uniform state legislation to
protect this impo, tant class of birds,
resolutions have Just been passed by
the American Ornithologists' union, In

Weeks bill and expressing the belief
that "all birds which do not remain

Moore Denies Responsibility.
OF the. two men back of Rock Island
in this city, only Judge w. Moore was
down town yesterday. His associate,
Daniel G. Reid, who is chairman of the
Rock Island Board, has not been seen
in the Wall street district since Christ
mas Eve. The big buying orders for
Rock Island are said to have been
placed in the interim between the close
of Friday and the opening on Monday.
81 have not seen Mr.. Reid" said
Judge Moore, but I am quite positive
he had nothing to do with this move.
Certainly l had nothing to do with it. y
Judge Moore was asked as to the
truth of the report that Rock Island is
to absorb the Wabash system and later
the Lehigh Valley. and subsequently
bring out a new transcontinental sys-
tenn.
Il do not own a single share OF Wa
bash.'' said Judge Moore. Therefore
the suggestion may be set aside as a
fiction.
at is true, howe> er, that Mr.. Reid
and I have purchased a considerable
interest in the lehigh Valley Rail
road"
From Philadelphia late yesterday
came the information that Drexel &
Co.. had acquired the Lehigh Valley
stock formerly held by the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western. The trans
action involved approximately 10000
shares, and represented a transfer OF
something like $4,000, 900 in cash. Con-
troll of the railroad is believed to be
in the hands of Drexel & Co., who some
time ago took ove- the holdings of J.
p. Morgan & Co., liz the road. Lehigh
Valley is now on q 10 per cent basis
and the Moore-Re.d combination will
have to part with considerable money
to obtain domination of property
which it is known is coveted.
The investigation may be completed
today by the committee investigating
the Rock Island deal.

New York, Dec. 29.-The commit
tee appointed by the New York Stock
Exchange to investigate the sensation
al rise in Rock Island Monday is like
~ to have several distinguished H.
nanciers before them, as well as
Change members. to get to the bot
tom OF the story that the incident was
q trap OF Daniel G. Reid to nip Ed
win Hawley and some of his friends,
including Benjamin F. Yoakum, who
recently parted company with the
Rock Island crowd.
Mr.. Reid had promised to be at his
office early in the morning, but had
not appeared when the Investigating
committee began it's work. Judge
william HI. Moore, who, with Mr.. Reid
heads the Rock Island syndicate. sent
word, however, that he would appear
and answer all questions as to his
part in the matter whenever needed.
It is only against members OF the
Exchange, though, that any action can
be taken on the strength of the in
vestigating committees report. II The
brokers involved can show that they
received bona fide orders and execut-
ed them by the letter of their instruc-
tions they will thereby exonerate
themselves OF any blame Of Mondays

Held Two Sessions.
The investigating committee held
two sessions. At the conclusion of the
afternoon session it was announced
by George w. Ely. Secretary of the
Exchange. that nothing definite had
been established. but that the COM
mittee would make its report within
two or three days.
One theory for the rise In Rock Is
land that gained great currency Mon
day had hardly a foothold yesterday,
and that was the one which explained
the cratic course of the stock as due
to the buying of London operators
against calls. The reason for its re-
lection was that in London calls do
not mature until the option day Of
the settlement for which they were
sold. contrary to the practice of New
York. where options may be exercised
at any time up to their maturity.
English brokers, through custom, al
ways buy something like half the
amount of stock on which they have
sold calls at the time they sell privileg-
es. and 1t is hardly to be supposed
that these brokers, who are generally
accounted among the shrewdest in the
world, would be frightened into buying
more stock to protect themselves when
the next settlement is still ten days
away.

MANS SHINING VIRTUE.
WHATEVER MAY BE HIS FAULTS, HE
DOESN'T NAG.

DOESN'T NAG.
Men as husbands are not SO faithful
as women; they are not so tender; they
do not forgive, as women do, conduct
which disgraces them publicly; they
are not SO patient with physical pain;
they are not so generous to sins outside
of the affections; but they have, says
Octave Thanet, in Harper's Bazaar, a
shining virtue of their. own; they do
not nag!
1t is not like man TO thresh out an
old injury after every grain Of circum-
stance has been attracted and the fail
raises nothing but dust. Nor is it like
man to tumble into the traps of his
own logic and rescue himself by burst
of temper or flood of tears. Men fly
into passions over trifles just as much
as women; and often more violently.
Their language, for instance, in regard
overdone beefsteak frequently is not fit
for lady's ears; and it is to be hoped
that the waitress does not report it to
the cooklady! And it seems irrational
to be unset, as men are, by the misbe-
havior of collar buttons and little mis-
takes about wine, such as giving away
the choicest sherry to the poor, sick
washerwoman. Still, it may be ad-
mitted that while they fly into pas
sions they do not fly into the same pas
sion again and again. And when they
forgive they forgive; they do not SIM
ply take the offense away and put it in
cold storage.
