FOUR DEAD IN THE TOWER
MORE CRIMES TRACED TO
POST OFFICE SLAYER HAWK.
Electricity Will Now Be Tried to
Rid Carrier Pigeons of Their
Vicious Enemy.

Three innocent victims, murdered in
cold blood with nothing left for identi-
fication but three tiny rings, is yester-
days record of the doings in the tall
gray tower of the Post Office Depart
nent building. Three were thus slain and
disposed Of while at the close of day,
| overlapping the sill of the highest win
dow. lay the mangled remains of a fourth
quivering in the throes of death and be-
yond mortal aid.
Were this the first horrible slaughter
of its kind that has occurred in the same
place it would be sufficient to arouse the
entire city and put every bluecoated po-
liceman and plain clothes detective on his
mettle to save his professional reputa-
ton. for the criminal is we'll known. But
this record has gone on for months. and
the murderer is still at large. apparently
unconcerned while the officials of Uncle
Sans postal service in the granite build
ing beneath are puZzling their wits day
in and day out from morning till night
TO find a way to stop these terrible hap
peningS.
The victims in every instance are car
rier pigeons that alight on the tower
of the building for a moments rest IN
their long and weary flights. The MUIR
derer is the same relentless hawk the
story of whose dongs has been told in
The Star from time to time
The tiny rings of the three victims OF
yesterday bear the cabalistic marks /: \.
$685. L. 46O7S and S. A. 6Ssos. The
identification mark of the fourth has not
yet been recovered.
Assistant Superintendent Shaw of the
department has now planned to have live
wires strung around the entrances on the
four sides of the tower in the hope that
what his craftsmanship with shotgun
and an air rifle could not accomplish may
be successfully done with bolts of cleo
tricity. Ever since these series of pigeon
murders commenced Mr.. Shaw has been
making vain endeavors to pture or Kill
the vicious hawk which is the cause or
them His majesty. the bird, stands about
two feet high, with spread of open
wings approximating four feet. He Is or
a brown color. with circle of dark red
around his neck. Apparently he is with
out fear for he comes and goes at WIFE,
and every coming marks a new addition
to his list of crime. Traps. lassoes, air
guns. shot guns, even cleVerly con-
structed airship with a small bit of dyna-
mite armor. have been used for his cap
ture in vain. for he is willy old fellow.
1t now remains to be seen If live wires
will succeed where all else has failed.

WHERE THE SCHOOLS ARE BEST
METHODS ADVANCE WITH FOR
EIGN POPULATION.
Leonard P. Ayres of New York Dis
cusses the Assimilation of
the Immigrant.

The most advanced educational meth
DDS and the most enlightened public SEN
timent are found in cities which are large
~ foreign" was the interesting announce
ment made by Leonard p Ayres of New
York in an address last night before the
High School Teachers Association at the
Lafayette Arms, on the subject How
We Are Assmilating the Immigrant Edu-
cationaiy." He continued:
1.-The problem of the immigrant is a To-
cal problem. In the northern and western
states practically one-half of the inhab-
itants are of foreign parentage. In the
southern states there are few foreigners.
Do the foreigners settle in the northern
and western states because they are
rich and prosperous, or are those states
rich and prosperous because the foreign
ers settle there?
Washington and Newark.
In Washington very few of the chill
dreI who enter the schools stay to COM
plete the course. There are 5000 children
in the first grade in this city and only
300 graduate from the high schools, or
$50 in the first grade for each high school
graduate. Investigations conducted by
the Russell Sage Foundation show that
among large cities those having large for
eign population have the most efficient
school systems and the most American
cities have the least efficient school sys-
TENS.
Newark. n. j., is about the size of
Washington. It is one of the most foreign
cities in the United States. 1t has more
children in it's kindergartens and more
pupils in it's night schools than any other
city of its size. The enrolment in its
summer schools is larger than in any
other city.
of the most important branches of the
city government. Instead of having its
headquarters in two or three small rooms
in school building a. in Washington, its
offices occupy an entire floor of the city
hall, and have magnificent equipment.
In these respects Newark is typical of
many of the more foreign cities of the
country. Are these things wrought be-
cause of the foreign element, or in spite
of it?
Educating Immigrant Children.
The problem of educating the immi-
grant child differs with different races. An
investigation in New York shows that the
best school progress is made by the Ger
mans, with Americans. Russians English,
Irish and Italian following in that order.
Wherever Investigations have been
made they have proved that ignorance OF
the English language constitutes a very
slight handicap to progress, and one That
is quickly and easily overcome.
although practically all of the foreign
ers attend school long enough to learn TO
read and write, few of them continue to
the upper grades and the high schools"

to the last, he was deprived Of the
powers Of speech. It is inexpressi-
bly, saddening to dwell thusly with
cold words incapable of conveying
the deep sympathy felt at heart
upon the last moments of this
splendid friend and promising man.

the coincidence of friends is of nc

The sentiments Of: regard and
affection which characterized 8
friendship with Richard Haley, will
remain always in our hearts. And
after all. this is the best usage tt
which q lifemay be given-to in.

to beget friendship and cherish it.

Richard Douglas Haley was borr
