out an interview In which he stated his
reasons for disappearing the measure
as follows:
81 vetoed the dispensary bill for two
reasons. The FIRST was that while the
bill had some good features the whiskey
interests had succeeded in slipping in
some joker, which would have allowed
them to do as they pleased. And the
second wns that the measure was 50
loosely drawn that ii would never have
stood the test OF the courts. There
were numerous errors in the drawing OF
the measure which would have caused
it to he declared void. This coupled
with the whiskey jokers, caused me tC
veto the measure
Representatives Ross, Jahn and Bur
nette and Senator Billups were author
of the snti-dispensary bill in Its var

houses. It's purpose was to abolish tb,

In its economic relations the English
sparrows among birds is comparable to
the rat among animals. IL is cunning
destructive and filthy. This sparrow
was introduced into America about six.
~ years ago, and Ia now distributed gen.
orally over the eastern half of the Unit.
ed States and Southern Canada and 10.
cslly westward to the Pacific coast. This
rapid dissemination is q result of the
birds hardness, extraordinary feeundi.
ty, diversity Of food, aggressive dispo.
sition, and almost complete immunity
from natural enemies through its sagac.
ity and its preference for thickly settled
communities.
Its natural diet consists Of seeds, but
il eats q great variety of other foods,
while much of it's annual fare consists
Of waste material from the streets. In
Autumn and Winter 1t consumes quan.
titles of weed seed, and In summer num-
erous insects. The destruction of weed
seed is undeniably In the sparrow's fav.
or. Ito record az to insects is not so
clear. There is substantial evidence
that II eats certain harmful insects
quite freely when these are abundant,
but that il hsbitually seeks insects, or
that 1t prefers them TO seeds or other
vegetable food, Ii not bourne out by
the evidence.
The sparrow destroys small fruits, as
cherries, grapes, pears, and peaches. II
also destroys buds and flowers Of Guilt.
vsted trees, shrubs and vines. In the
garden II eats seeds as they ripen, and
nips of tender young vegetables as they
appear above the ground, peas and let
tuce being especially subject to attack.
II damages wheat and other grains when
newly sowed, ripening, and In shocks
II reduces the numbers OF some of our
most useful native species, such ~ blue

second baseman of the Pittsburg Ma
~tionals, is another, while George Wiltss,
the star southpaw on the Giants pay
roll, and George Browne, now a New
arker, received their start in the game
through Sutton.
Among the new men Larry has
picked up for trial for the Superbas
next year are: Atchison, a stat left
handler, with a record, and Quillan, an
infielder, who is an all around player.
Eddie Zimmerman. the Newark third
sacker, was also recommended TO
Brooklyn by Larry and was drafted.
He seems certain of the position. Jack
Dalton has already made good for
Brooklyn in the garden.
Bob Coulson seems to be the find Of
the year. He halls from the Altoona
club Of the Tri-State League, and has
already attracted attention in the brief
trial he has had. His batting and base
running, as we'll as = his wonderful
throwing arm, make him an all around
star. Sheldon Lejeune, who likes to be
called Larry and Harry Meyers are
two other fast outfielders who will be
given trials by Brooklyn on Sutton's
approval. Lejeune recently broke the
worlds record for throwing a baseball
for distance. while Meyer batted .315
for Sioux City.
