ENGLISH SPARROW
A NUISANCE.

To the gardener and fruit grower
the English sparrow is nuisance
rather than a help. 1t was intro
duced into the United States about
forty years ago, to prey upon the
measuring worm, or canGer-worm,
which had become very destructive
to shade trees in the cities. 1t found
many other things, however, TO en-
gage its attention, and soon became
so undesirable in his habits as to be
come despised by gardeners, farm
ers, fruit growers and horticulturists
generally. 1t is pugnacious bird,
and on account of its violent attacks
upon them many of cur most valua-
BILE native song and insectivorous
birds have greatly diminished. 1t
not only is disposed to drive such
birds from their nests, but has been
known to kill and devour their
young and their eggs.
Moreover, the English sparrow
feeds largel y in the spring on the
buds Of fruit trees, and, also, does
great damage in vegetable gardens
in pulling up and eating the seeds,
snch as peas, etc, as they come up.
IL Is, likewise, destructive in grain
fields, as it alights on the stalks Of
wheat and oats, and not only con.
sumeS large quantities of grain, but
wastes a great deal through swaying
to and fro on the slender stalks, caus
ing the grain to fall to the ground. II
has been known to tear open the
husks of green corn, devour the ten.
der kernels, and cause much loss thru
exposing the remaining grains to at.
mCspheric changes and the ravages
Of insects.
The martins which formerly re-
turned every spring to the boxes pro-
vldcd for them in towns and cities,
have, in many instances, failed to
turn up, on account of their nesting
places having been seized and occu.
pied by Eoglish sparrows. Many
other insectivorous birds, as useful as
the martin, have been driven away
by the common feathered enemy. In
fact, there is hardly a species of our
native birds that the English spar
row will not molest.
In view Of the pugnaciousneSs OF
the English sparrows and their de
struchveness, and but few redeem
ing qualities, State Zoolcgist Surface
recommends that war Of eXtermin.
alton be waged against them. II
will not do 10 endeavcr TO poison
them, he 'ars, as by scattering

tion, the lives Of useful birds would
be endangered, as well as domestic

or their nests destroyed when con,

down, t. a minimum. There was
formerly a law which protected the
English sparrow, the same having
been passed soon after its advent il
the United States, but in 1888, at tn,
suggestion of a number Of agricultur
al aud horticultural societies, tht
law was repealed, and the killing o
English sparrows, and the destroying
: of their nests, eggs or young, at al
seasons Of the year, Is now legalized

SAINT CECILIA's PICTURE.

Dedicated to ANNA c. DOLAN.
With uplifted eyes and holy smile
Cecilia speaks her soul
Through dainty fingers. while
The organs full tones roll
Now loud, now soft, now scarcely heard,
pause; then one bold chord
She strikes The angels have appeared
Bright angels of the Lord.
Around her sanity head they group
And scatter roses fair
She gazes at this heavenly troop
In visions in mid air.
She still plays on, her tremuous notes
Like rustlng leaves, they tell
In music language the kind thoughts
That in her pure soul dwell.
Again she stops, but yet her gaze
Is fixed, then suddenly
With magic touch of hands she plays
A dashing rhapsody.
Ah now, a minor kew she strikes,
Her eyes are moist with tears,
She intones the hymn that she loves best:
The vision disappears.

After talking with b. s. Ross of,
Cnicago, the engineer who wrote to

Tuesday morning, Mayor Breitmeyer
announced that ne would not refer

CUMMINs IS HUsTL1NG.
Reaches for Sam Smiths Scalp; At.

Alva M. Summins, OF Lansing, who
Is after the scalp of Congressman
Sam Smith In the Sixth district, will
spend the week In Detroit, addressing
voters of the Twelfth, Fourteenth, Six.
teenth and Eighteenth wards. which
are q part OF the Sixth district. He
addressed two large meetings Mon
day noon, one at the Detroit Copper
& Brass Rolling mills and the other
al the plant of the Timkin-Detroit
Axle Co. and took In several gather
ings in the evening. He will keep up
this pace throughout the week.
Mr.. Cummins Is handling his Re
publican opponent, who is known as
a stand-patter, without gloves. In all
his talks he Is attacking Smiths rec
ord in congress, particularly his at
titude with regard to the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff bill. He stood consistently
with the Cannon-Aldrich crowd from
the outset, Cummins says. In his
speeches, Monday, Cummins declared
that Smith Is so busy looking after the
city of washington as chairman OF the
committee on affairs OF the District OF
Columbia that he has but little time
left to look after the interests of his
constituents back home. Quoting
from the records, Cummins showed
that Smith had introduced In the last
two years SO bills having to do strictly
with the District Of Columbia, but OF
no interest whatever to the country
at large. Mr.. Cummins Is being well
received.

Editor or The Times: Referring
TO the interview with Richard p. Joy,
printed In your paper, desire TO say
that regret very much on Mr.. Joys
account that he found the figures pub.
lished by me "bewildering," but, pre-
Stunning that he has implicit confidence
In the employees OF the bank with
which he Is connected, feel quite Ger.
tain, that II he will submit those fg.
ures to any one OF the young gentle
men In the banks employ, he will be
able In very short space OF time to
assure himself OF their accuracy.
Then II he will submit the following
proposition to the banks most expert
accountant, we shall all be glad to
learn the results of that gentleman's
investigation!
How much, II any, will the aggre-
gate tax rate for the next 20 years
be reduced under the bonding plan,
than under the present half mill tax
plan, with the bonding plan making
necessary the expenditure of $4,000
more than the half mill tax plan In
the same space of time?
There were said to have been 20 900
signers TO the petition, asking to have
the bonding proposition submitted to
the people, and the board OF supervis-
ors without recommending the plan
itself In ANY way, ordered the Ques.
ton submitted. l would very much
like those 10000 signers, as well as
every other voter In the county, con.
slider one point before casting his bal
lot.
The cost of the advancing Of the
building of one mile OF road one year,
has been shown to be at least $1,094
II is proposed to complete 255 miles
under the bonding play-255 times ST.
0s4, is $27S.970.
Suppose at the present time we had
not one single mile of the improved
road in Wayne county, and that It
were possible to build 255 miles In a
single year satisfactorily, would he
think 1t good business policy to cause
them TO be built In 1911 at a cost of
S3,218,970 or In 1912 at cost of 49,
100000? In other words, would he
think the use OF them one year soon.
or. would be worth s27S,970 to the tax
payers of the country? II he does, he
should certainly vote on the PROPOSE
ton, Yes" II he does not, he should
just as certainly vote NO"

UNINCORPORATED
FACTION WINS
Old Anti-Tuberculosis Society En-.
titled To Tag Day Funds and To
Use of Name, Court Rules.

After listening to arguments which
lasted the greater part of Monday,
Judge Hosmer late In the afternoon
handed down his decree In the con-
troversy between the incorporated
and unincorporated anti-tuberculosis
societies, holding that the old, or UNI
incorporated society, is entitled to
the receipts OF the last tag day, to-
gether with the books, papers and
the use Of the name, the Detroit So
ciety for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis.
Judge Hosmer in giving his decision
expressed his regret that he was UNI
able to affect reconciliation between
the factions, and continued his plea
for an adjustment OF the troubles even
at this date.
While beth sides to the controversy
continue 10 declare that they are not
actuated by personal feelings in the
matter, but are merely working for
the good of the society, 1t is known
that the trial. which laster for more
than a week, widened the breach and
1t is unlikely that Judge Hosmer's
decision will settle the matter. Both
sides Of the controversy threatened
weeks ago that In case they lost In
the circuit court that the case would
be appealed, and this will probably
be done.
Judge Hosmer's decision was based
on that fact that the adding to the
board OF six new trustees whose
names had not been passed on by
the members was illegal. With these
trustees on the board Mrs. w. A. Nc
Graw was reelected as president, and
1t was Mrs. McGraw's enemies that
kicked up the row.
The new, or unincorporated society
which Judge Hosmer has decided Is
the only legal society, is presided over
by DR.. Herbert NJ. Rich as president,
and with him are associated F. B. Le-
land, Miss Clara Dyar, Mrs. B. G.
