Former Speaker Cannon. Mrs. Can
non, was in Chicago today talked to
her husband over the long distance
phone and said that she had assur-
ances from him that his car was at
home She said that she and her hus-
band were driving in chicago one day
last week when they were stopped by
a policeman who said the driver of a
car number was wanted for speed
ing.
Work of getting the automobile out
of water and the search for the bod
les of the drowned passengers proved
difficult task, but the police aided
by the life saving crew of the South
Chicago station expected to have the
work completed this afternoon.
Patrolman Mahoney this afternoon
identified the body of the young wo-
man taken from the river as his
daughter, Anna Mahoey aged 81 !.
This Identification supported the po-
lice belief that two of the other oc-
cupants of the car were Florence Ma
honey aged 10, her sister. and John
Buchanan, chauffeur for Mrs. G, r.
Spaulding of this city. The three had
started out in Mrs. Spaulding's auto
mobile last night and it is presumed
that three other young persons joined
them later.
The automobile this afternoon was
lifted clear of the he'd OF the river
and none of the bodies was found be
meath it, The police Immediately began
dragging below the accident scene in
the hope OF obtaining the other bodies
before they were swept into Lake
Michigan

ERRONEOUS IDEA
CONCERNING BIRDS
Generally Accepted Belief That Birds
Migrate on Account of Weather
Is Only Partly True.

Generally speaking, there is an ao-
cepted idea that birds migrate to es-
cape the cold of winter and return
again as soon as the weather permits
them to find their food in more north
ern ATTITUDES. This, however, though
holding good for some of our native
birds, such as the skylark and plover,
which are not usually considered as
migrants, does not hold good for our
well-known and regular migrants,
Prof. Bonhote writes In the Standard
The cuckoo and swift, for instance,
are well known to leave us in July
and August, long before any signs Of
winter Or scarcity of food has become
apparent, and on the return spring
migration many species. such as the
turtle dove, swift and spotted fly
catcher, do not arrive till well on in
May, when food and weather have
been suitable for some time. On the
other hand, in backward springs,
many of our earlier arrivals perish
from cold and starvation. nor could it
by any means be argued that food, in
the more genial southern regions
where these birds winter, had become
scarce
The accumulated facts tend to show
that birds arrive and depart with ex-
IRENE regularity, independently OF
food and seasons-sudden storms and
cold only delay them for day or
, two. This is further we'll shown by
what we may term weather migrants
-larks, plovers, and many others: for
these birds come south at any time
during the winter in the face of spells
of cold, and return again north ire
spective of the time of the year as
soon as the milder conditions recur.
Did the migration among most species
arise, therefore, from exigencies of
climate and food, we should expect in
mild springs to find our summer birds
arriving weeks before their accustom-
ed time, while others would stop in
mild winter till we'll after Christmas.
| This, however, is not the case Regu-
| larly we may expect the swallows,
and as regularly do the swifts, as
soon as their young are fledged, leave
| for the tropics.

NEW YORK, May 20.-Today's fin

having a definite announcement Of
good news Immediately behind them
and another important news announce
ment whose character is entirely I'M
certain in front of them.
The decision of the coal miners
convention Saturday afternoon by
vote of 232 to Ga to end the anthracite
strike on the terms originally fixed
with the employers, might have been
utilized for another bull demonstra-
ton" had not the Ohio primaries been
scheduled for tomorrow But the vote
OF the miners delegates had been
both foreshadowed in current expec-
tation and discounted in prices,
while nobody had any sure impression
as to what the Ohio result will be or
as to how the markets will receive it,
and therefore the stock exchange was
disposed to do nothing at all today,
unless to take profits where it had
lately been committed for the rise
The market closed in lifeless and
uncertain condition.
