SPARROwS ARE ROUTED.
Hundreds of Nests Destroyed by
Municipal WorISmeu.

Municipal Workmen.
The ever-present English sparrows espe-
cially fancy the new Municipal Building
as a desirable place in which TO build
their nests. as is shown by the semi
annual clearing out of the nests now In
progress. The men assigned to do this
work are making a careful search for
the sparrows' nests among the capitals
Of the columns and behind the statutes
AS a result Of the flrst days work yes
terday. a wagon load Of rubbish was
taken from the main entrance outer cor
ridor Of the building. The work will be
continued to-day and until every nest
has been cleared out
Capt John ]. Strain, captain OF the
watch. had charge OF the work. In
many Of the nests were found young
srarrows These birds were humanely
treated by the men and were taken to
the lawn In front of the building and
thrown UP into the air until they learned
the use OF their wings Some persons
suggested TO Capt Strain that as the
English sparrow is a destructive. OBJ
jectionable bird, the young birds be killed.
Capt strain refused 20 follow this advice
In the future this work Of clearing
out the nests win be done al least every
month in the warm weather, as the birds
quickly lebuild their destroyed homes.

MAY ADMIT DISTRICT CLERKS
Durand Will Ask Senate to Allow
Temporary Appointments.
New Director would Facilitate work
of Census Bureau by Engaging
Employees Mt Random.

Director Durand, OF the Census Bureau.
VIII ask the Senate 10 incorporate in the
deficiency appropriation bin a provision.
which was recently rejected by the HOUSE
On a point OF ORDER. which is intended to
facilitate the appointment OF temporary
clerks in the Census Bureau.
The desired amendment provides that
in the selection made from eligible reg
listers required to be established By sec
ton Of the act 10 provide for the thir-
tenth and subsequent decenniaI censuses.
approved July 2, 1909 the appo-tionmenr
required by said section shall be made
without reference TO the number OF per-
sons already employed in the classified
service who may be charged TO the quota
Of each State and Territory or the Dis
trict OF Columbia"
The necessity for some such legislation
is made apparent by Director Durand,
who points out that as the average time
OF employment Of the additional clerks in
the Census Bureau is only about one year.
hundreds beiBg only employed for six
months Il IS desirable. he says that the
appOruOnment Of the temporary force
should be Independent Of the general ap-
poruOnment OF the government employees
owing 10 the fact that many who pass
the examination from Western and South
ern points viii naturally hesitate about
accepting a position necessitating q long
journey for such q limited space OF time.
And. moreover. he says. that when an
employe had once come 10 I'LL a position
IN the Census Bureau from q distant
State he would. without doubt. be indig-
nant II he were dropped from the rolls
within a few months or q year and
would bring great pressure to bear to OBJ
tain his retention for more than the aver
age period OF census employment.
In view OF the above. Director Durand
considers II absolutely necessary that the
census clerks may be engaged at random
without regard TO the government regula-
tons on the subject, as il Will eliminate
many difficulties now IN the path Of the
census takers, and VIII also be a great
step I'm the direction Of economy.

The high tariff Republican insurgents
held a another conference yesterday to
talk over Mr. Tafts recommendations
that raw materials should be placed on
the free list Of the new tarif law
Twenty members were present and
Representative Gaines, Of West Virginia,
presided.
At the conclusion Of the conference Mr.
Gaines announced that fully forty-fve
Republicans OF the House were IN SYM
pathy with the movement to resist the
efforts of the President TO place raw
materials on the free list, or 10 even
materially reduce the duties on coal and
iron ore. or to remove the countervailing
duty on duty
The question was discussed as to what
action the high tariff Republicans
would take II a majority in the House
seemed disposed TO follow the recon-
mendations Of the President, but no con-
clusion was reached on this point.
The impression prevails that those who
attended the conference are 'insurging"

COMPROMISE EFFECTED IN
BULLION TAX CASE

District Attorney Tildon, upon his
return from Reno and Carson City,
filed with the county commissioners a
proposal which had been agreed to by
himself and representatives of the
Pittsburg-Silver Peak Gold Mining
company for a compromise and settle
ment of the pending civil and criminal
suits against the company and some of
its officers on account of tax dispute.
The proposed compromise is on a
basis of a cash payment of $4,000 and
attorneys fees. The arbitrary assess
ment made by Sheriff Bradley some
time ago vas for approximately
$4,000, but this made no allowance for
mining, milling and other expenses of
the company, the assessment being a
fiat charge against the gross output of
the mine.-Goldfeld Tribune.
