culture of the United States government. The
biological survey has been of great service to
the farmers of the United States and to all
men engaged either directly or indirectly In
any form Of agricultural pursuits. When the
survey was threatened with extinction few
years ago by the apparent intention of con-
gress to refuse II an appropriation. the farm
ers of the United States with the bird pro-
tectors and the real sportsmen, rose In Its de-
Tense and saved It. The survey probably will
be spared to continue its useful work as long
N the agricultural department has existence.
The history Of bird protection In the United
States naturally and Of right, Is connected with
the history OF two organizations. the various
state Audubon societies for the protection OF
wild birds. and the American Ornithologists'
union. Recently William butcher OF New
York, who IL the president of the National AS
sociation Of Audubon societies and fellow of
the American Ornithologists' union, told the
ornithologists of the world assembled In con-
vention In European city the story of the
bird protection movement in North America
Mr.. butcher and all the other Officers Of the
National Association Of Audubon societies are
men who have devoted their lives to the study
e birds and to their protection.
A celebrated French scientist said not long
ago that II the bird life were to b swept out

now held in check by the birds, the vegetation
creatures would be destroyed BY the insect
enemies. So 1t would seem that II this French
scientist Is right, that in making their fight
for the birds the defenders have been making
their fight for man, fact which is not ap
preciated by some of those who would suffer
were It not for the constant saving efforts of
men whom on occasion they have seen fit to
call cranks D
To lead up to the establishment OF the Au-
dubon societies, of which nearly every state
in the Union has one, It might be said that It
was not until the year 1883 that the public in
the United States awakened to the fact that
too many Wild birds were being slaughtered,
largely for millinery ornaments and other dec
oratfve purposes. In addition, thousands of
song and insectivorous birds were killed annu-
ally for food In his story Of the movement
for bird protection President butcher told of
the beginnings Of the crusade to save the
lives Of the songsters which year by year were
coming back to the farm and the garden in
greatly decreased numbers. Mr.. butcher said,
speaking of the condition in 1888:
The newspapers published items almost
daily on the subject, and many strong edito-
rails were written A quotation from one of
these entitled The Sacrifices of Song Birds
will show the earnestness of the press In re-
spect to the situation The destruction of
American wild birds for millinery purposes
has assumed stupendous proportions. The I'M
holy work gives employment to a vast army
tof men and women and this army wages its
campaign Of destruction with diabolical per-
lection of system
THE editorial In question further refers
to details of the work published in other col
umns of the paper. which furnishes evidence
of the CHASTITY character of the business. The
logical result of this neWspaper agitation was
that the American Ornithologists union at its
annual meeting held In New York city Sep
TENDER 30. 1884. appointed committee of its
members to investigate the extent Of the al
legged wild bird destruction and to devise
means to stop the slaughter BY legal or any
other legitimate method.
This committee found that the claims Of
the press and Of individuals were not In the
least exaggerated. but on the other hand did
not fully represent the terrible inroads that
were being made on the non-sams birda

National Association of Audubon Societies for
the Protection of Wild Birds and Animals mas
resulted, although In the interim there were
many periods when the outlook for bird pro-
lection in North America seemed doomed TO
failure"
1t was the result Of an appeal made to
congress by the council of the Ornithologists'
union that led congress to vote an appropria-
ton of $4,000, the money to be administered
under the direction Of the department OF ag-
riculture for the purpose Of taking means to
save the lives Of the native American birds
which were useful to man.
AS William butcher says further in his
story of the protective movement:
I'm recognition of the action taken by the
American Ornithologists' union in securing the
appropriation, the secretary Of agriculture In
vited the council Of the union to select a su-
perintendent to carry on the work and at a
subsequent meeting held in Washington, Dr.
Clinton Hart Merriam was selected as the SUI
perintendent and DR.. Albert X. Fisher as his
assistant Both Of these noted ornthologists
were among the founders Of the American Or
nithologists' union"
II was from this humble beginning that the
present biological survey, a division of the
United States department of agriculture has
grown. It Is perfectly apparent from the let
ters which agriculturists send to Washington
constantly tnat the WORK OF tno BIOLOGICAL sur
vey has It's value appreciated more and more
every year. The survey has published a great
mass Of valuable statistics of the food habits
of birds and their relation to agriculture and
forestry.
AS has been said, there are Audubon soci-
eties for bird protection in nearly every state
In the Union. They are aniliated In one great
society called the National Association Of Au-
dubon societies. The writer Of this article
from personal knowledge can speak of the be-
ginnings Of one Of the largest and most 40
tive of the state organisations.
Persons who were known to be Interested In
birds were asked to meet to form q protective
organization. good many persons not par.
ticularly interested In bird protection also
were invited. Several women came TO that
first meeting. wearing the plumage Of Wild
birds IN their hats At first the society in

ODAY the songbirds Of the United
States have thrown about them the
strong arm of protection. For q
- quarter of a century there was
\ hard and systematic work to save
creatures who were helpless to
save themselves and against whom,
N someone has put 1t, the hand Of man and the
head of woman constantly were raised. II per-
haps Is hardly necessary to say that the alusion
to the head Of woman had to do with the fashion
of wearing the plumage of native wild birds for
decorations for hats and bonnets.
It was a hard fight to get the masses OF the
people interested in the bird protection move
ment. Today very little Is known in general
way of the manner in which success was wrought
out It is not at all uncomman even now to
hear the bird protectors spoken Of as mere SEN
timentalists, and there are men who have had
part in the fight to save the wild life who have
been sneered at as efeminate. The truth Is that
most Of the men who engaged In the work OF pre-
serving the feathered species were hard-headed
and could prove on occasion that they were hard
listed.
II takes only casual glance at woman's hat
today to show that the fashion of wearing feath
ers is still II not supreme. at least a ruler to
considerable degree. It should be known, how
ever that not once in a hundred times do you see
on woman's head today the plumage OF a native
American bird. The traffic In the feathers OF
bluebirds, robins, catbirds and other dooryard
pets has been almost entirely stopped. Even
those who wish that the plumagewearing habit
should cease altogether powerless to prevent
the sale of the feathers of certain species of for
egn birds. The aigrette OF which woman Is so
fond is part of the plumage of the snowy heron,
a bird which lives not only in the United States
but In certain foreign countries. II bird Is to
be found in America and also abroad the sale OF
its plumage is generally forbidden In the United
States. but there is. and always has been, some
difficulty in proving from whence came the sup
ply. Law. generally speaking. has its techncality
loopholes and the bird protective law is not
exempt

Richmond Case
Again Taken Up
Attorney General Questions Chief of
Police Closely About His
Duties.

There was a lack Of sensational features
in the hearing of the removal proceedings
against Major George H. Richmond, chief
of police which was resumed yesterday
morning before Judge e. B. Woodruff In
the district court.
The direct examination of Major Rich
mond was devoted almost entirely to
routine matters in connection with the
office of chief of police and occupied but
a short time.
Attorney General Byers on starting his
cross-examination OF the chief occupied
considerable time reading the rules and
regulations Of the police department, city
ordinances and the laws relating to gam
bling. houses of I'll fame and other things
complained OF.
The cross-sxamination brought out the
fact that Major Richmond had practically
followed the same policy as his predecessors
in office and which had been in vogue in
Council Bluffs for nearly forty years in
dealing with the conditions complained OF
by the attorney general and his coterie OF
''reformers."
The attorney general attempted to make
capital out of visit paid by Chief Rich
mond to Benjamin Marks while the latter
was lying critically Ill at the Bdmundsor
hospital. The attorney general tried tC
show that at this visit Marks discussed
the gambling situation with the accused
officer, This, however, was denied by
Major Richmond.
Major Richmond was still on the stant
when court adjourned for the day and indi.
cations are that the hearing will last ovel
into next week.
