CoMMUNICATED.
THE POLICE FORCE.

THE POLICE FORCE.
While the efforts OF the Board OF
Police Commissioners 10 bring the
police force of our city to state OF
greater eficicncyis very commendable,
it is the opinion of great many OF
our citizens, that instead of the ex-
penditure OF $500 for patrol wagon
and the 1920 required for its main
tenance, it would be better, after the
installing Of a telephone system and
the establishment Of a pension fund
Gf feasible plan can be devised), that
any other money the city can afford
to appropriate should be applied to
raising the salaries OF the men EN-.
ployed on the police force.
While the compensation OF so many
wage earness and others in the business
branches have been advanced to meet
the great increase in the cost OF living
these men are still receiving wages
less than helpers and laborers in the
various trades, wage rate that must
be totally inadequate to properly
provide for their families.
In the opinion OF the writer and a
number OF those with whom he has
conrerscd on the subject, it will be
the duty OF city legislators when con-
sidering the raising Of the standard OF
our police department, that the first
essential will be to provide a living
rate for its members, instead of the
very poor salaries BOW paid.

SMITH TRYS TO
BEAT BROWN IN
GEORGIA TODAY

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. Ex-Governor
Joseph M. Brown and former Governor
Hoke Smith are today engaged in q
hurculean struggle at the state pri-
maries for the Democratic nomination
for governor. 1t is the second time in
two years that they have fought for
the same prize.
The campaign closed last night after
a heated campaign of two months.
The rival campaign managers are
today claiming victory. The surface
indications seem to be for Smith, but
the Brown managers say the country
vote will decide, and they claim this
vote for Brown.
Two years G when Hoke Smith
was serving his first term as governor
he was defeated for denomination by
Joseph NJ. Brown, whom Smith had
dismissed from the railroad commits

mated by the railroads. Now Hoke

history, is coming to Saint Paul to
deliver In the auditorium, ON one of
the evenings when the conservation
congress is in session. an illustrated
lecture on birds. Mr.. Chapman has
stereopticon views OF birds In every
possible pose. He probably knows
more about birds than any other
man In America. He will tell about
the value of the bird to the farmer
particularly, and what interests the
man who produces the food the peo-
pie consume, will interest Verybody,
for all must eat.
To quote William L. Finley, of the
National Association of Audubon
Societies, viii give an idea of the
value of the bird in dollars and
cents. He said:
For years our wild birds have
been rapidly decreasing. AS a re-
suit, millions of dollars are taken
from the pockets of the farming
class every year to fight insect pests,
and this amount is increasing. The
inroads of the Hessian fly upon the
wheat crop in 1904 was estimated at
$50,000,000. The cotton worm Is a
great menace In the south, where it
destroys from s26, 200, 900 to $780,
Gee, 600 annually of the cotton crop.
The cut worm Is a pest that is prev
alent throughout the country; al
though the loss is widely distributed
and not felt so heavily, 1t is enor-
nous. The coddling moth Injuries
fruit crops to the amount OF S20,-
600, O00 annually. With the contin-
nous loss OF bird life In our country.
the loss from insect and rodent pests
last year Was estimated at the eaor-
noua sun Of $500, 100000.

Saint Paul, MINI, Aug. 23:-
While the greater part of the pro-
gram of the second National Conser-
walton Congress, to be held In Saint
Paul September S, 6, Z, s and 9, no
doubt will be devoted to discussions
by experts on forests, fuel and water
power, there will be M feature that
win give the proceedings a touch of
heart interest.
IT is. that pertaining to the birds.
Everybody loves birds. Even the
hunter who goes out and Stays the
game fowl admires the bird and he
is no ma at all IL, after he has shot
an excellent specimen of the quail,
grouse, partridge OF duck, he does
not feel a little sorrow IN his heart
as he picks up the dead bird and
places 1t In his game bag.
That the birds are of great value
10 the United States often has been
shown. There Is an old saying that
everything is put on earth for some
good and sufficient cause. a person
Is likely to question this assertion
and Is never more likely to do SO
than when he thinks of certain kinds
OF bugs and insects that kill the
trees. the growing grain, the cotton,
the flowers, plant life in general.
Right here, however, you can see
why the bird is placed on earth. His
is beautiful to hear and his
plumage grand to look upon, but 1t
fs the little beak that pecks inces-
sanity from runrise to sunset that is
OF great value to the people of the
land.

without the birds our forests
would be swept as by a blast of fire.
Our trees would look like an army
of telegraph poles. Last year In.
sects caused an estimated loss of
more than one hundred million dol
lars to the trees of the country. Do
you know that 400 different species
of insect are continually working on
the oak tree alone? The birds of
the forests are constantly catching
and consuming these insects.
Careful analysis of the stomachs
of thousands of woodpeckers, tit
mice, creepers, kinglets, wood warb-
lers, wrens, fiycatchers, swallows,
nuthatches and other birds show
they do nothing else but eat these
devastating insects. This is their
and you destroy u forests.
1.-The lumbermen have cut our
forests but the lumber is used to
build homes. The fisherman catches
our fish, till they are almost gone,
but these are used for food. The
capitalist captures the water-power
rights of our streams, but these he
puts to economic advantage. But
the plume hunter slaughters our
wild birds, and uses our resources
for what? Is it to make women
more attractive and beautiful If
So, he is a failure.
LAS long as women demand these
pfumes men will be found to supply
them. This vandalism VIII not cease
as long as the reward of gold lasts,
But at the rate some of our birds
are disappearing, the supply VIII
soon be gone and then the useless
custom must cease"

ACQUITTED
Officer T. P. Moore Exonerated
OF Guilt in Killing Negro
Desperate.

A preliminary hearing or investiga-
tion into the facts of the killing of
Dan Martin, a negro, by Officer T. P.
Moore, Of the police force, which oc-
Cured few nights ago, was had at
the court house this morning before
Justice of the Peace Hardee.
On account Of the lateness of the
hour when the act was committed,
there were only half dozen people
who had any knowledge Of the occur
renee, but each of these, when ex-
amined by Judge Hardee, testified
that there were four revolver re-
ports heard, one distinctly louder than
the others and which was fred per-
haps second before the shots from
the smaller weapon were fired.
A large revolver shown to the
Court, was identified as the one which
was picked up from the ground near
where the dead negro had fallen, and
a pistol scabbard was identified as
the one which was taken off the man
proven that Officer Moore had
never seen the negro before
and that he knew nothing. what.
ever of him, and therefore had nc
personal grievance against him.
Mr.. Moore testified that he had
been requested to go to a certain ne
gro house in the vicinity where the
tragedy occurred; that a negro wo
man had been knocked in the head
and had sent for an officer. He said
that on reaching the corner of the
fence of the house where the woman
resided, he heard some one make the
remark that she wasn't going tt
stand it any longer" and concluded
from this remark that he was at the
right place. About this time negro
man was leaving the gate, according
to the officers's statement, and the
officer called to him to stop; the ne
gro paid no attention, and he wa;
the second time commanded to halt
At this, the negro Moore stated, drew
large gun from under his coat ant
fired, whereupon the officer free
three shots, two of which took effect
the negro living only a few minutes
after he had fallen.
In reviewing the testimony, Judg,
Hardee stated that all the evidenc,
in the case tended to show that tn,
negro first fired and that the office
acted in self-defense, and therefor
discharged the accused so far as tn,
jurisdiction of his court was cor
cerned,, being satisfied in his owl
mind that the officer was justified il
shooting the negro.
