DR.. Hopkins went to the bayou
early in the morning and secured a
skiff from the bridge-keeper, saying
he was going fishing. About an hour
later the body was found by passing
schooner, which towed it to the land
ing. A coroners jury rendered a ver-
dict that he came to his death from

Some of the doctors friends who

Worldwide Movement,


Headed by the National Associa-
ton of Fish and Game Commission
ers, the North American Fish and
Game Protective Association and the
American Ornithologists' Union, as
well as the National Association of
Audubon Societies, this campaign of
protest against the rapid destruction
of the feathered resources of every
land will be carried from this coun-
try to all civilized nations. Testi-
mony from the foremost agricultural
and hygienic scientists showing the
great part played by the insect eat
ers in checking crop pests and by
the sea birds in averting pestilence,
is now being prepared as proof of the
immediate need of their information
al protection. Until the authorities
of every nation join to check the H.
legal raids Of the scouts for the mil
linery markets, who are securing
the ends of the earth more widely
each year, the ornithologists declare,
no hope can be held out against quick
and final extinction of the most USE
full bird species that inhabit every
land
Details of the recent raid of Japa-
nese poachers upon the bird reserve
of the United States about Hawaii
have just been received here and will
be laid before the coming interna-
tional conference with the growing
demand for reciprocal bird protection
among the nations. Ten tons of the
feathers of valuable Pacific-American
species with the skins and wings of
over 259,000 birds have been found
to be some of the booty that the reve-
nue. cutter Thetis brought back with
twenty-five subjects of Japan who had
been landed on American soil to put
in a year at killing and mutilating
the tame pocks on these remote is
lands. While the value of these
bloody trophies to the wholesale mil
linery market is estimated at some
100000, the bird life that the Japan
csc destroyed in taking them is cal
culated to be worth to the people of
this country at least a million dol
lars.

NEWS BOYS ENJOY
THE GEM AGAIN.

Yes, they took as all over to see the
picture at The Gem Theatre again
yesterday. Somehow we think the
management took us on purpose be-
cause of the lesson the pictures
taught.
A young man killed his uncle be-
cause he wouldn't provide him with
money and the uncle cut him out OF
his will. OF course the uncle did
this before he was killed. But the
young fellow was caught by means of
the examination of the dead eyes of
the uncle. They tell us that the last
thing person sees before he dies is
so impressed on the eye that it can
be seen after death.
Somehow, you know, the newspaper
carrier doesn't always do the right
thing and he usally gets Caught up
with" We think perhaps The
News wanted to teach us that lesson
and handed us that sort of a lemon
