BIRDS FED IN DISTRICT
DURING COLD SPELL
Policemen, Mail Carriers and Others
Scattered Food, Says
Report.

Birds have been fed during the severe
winter weather in the District by police
men. mail carriers and other public en-
ployes. according to a report submitted
to the Secretary of Agriculture by DIR.
Henry Henshaw. chief of the biological
survey: The past winter has been ex-
ceptionally hard on all classes of birds
and game animals. Washington and
Virginia have made special provisions
for feeding them, and the results have
been good.
The Secretary of Agriculture has re-
celved from the biological survey the fol-
lowing report on the progress of the
hunting season in the United States:
The month of January has been mark
ed by abnormally low Temperatures
throughout most of the country, accom-
panied In many regions by heavy snow
faI. In consequence of these adverse
conntions quail and other game birds
suffered severely. While the measures
taken for the preservation of the birds
were inadequate. Yet unusual interest
was manifested in the threatened loss
and much activity was exerted in efforts
TO avert 1t. The National Association of
Audubon Societies called the attention
of the public to the need of feeding birds.
and as a result Of this and other ap-
peals many persons, chiefly farmers.
scattered 1000 and provided shelter
Grain was distributed in suitable places
by game wardens. mail carriers and
other public officers
''In the District of Columbia more than
q thousand quail were fed by the police
while the needs of non-game birds were
supplied by many households. especially
in the suburbs. Virginia expended 500
through the Virginia Audubon Society
and the Game Protective Association. In
Delaware Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana
Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri. Oklahoma
Montana and other states concerted ac-
ton was taken by the residents of many
localities in the distribution of food. In
Illinois numbers of dead prairie chickens
were picked up. and the same conditions
doubtless prevailed in other parts of the
prairIe chicken country
THAT provisions for feeding birds in
severe weather should be made early in
the season and should be more systematic
and thorough has been amply demon
strated. The elk of the Jackson Hole
region. Wyoming. have thus far been in
good condition, and there has been no
repetition Of the losses by starvation srch
as characterized the two preceding win
tiers. On account Of the severe weather
the Virginia legislature January 30
passed an emergency measure closing the
seasons for all upland game throughout
the state"

After declining to make a statement on
political conditions Theodore Roosevelt
yesterday directed attention of newspa-
per men to several passages in letters
written by President Lincoln. In these
letters Mr.. Lincoln said. among other
things, that he did not feel called upon
to explain all sorts of assaults made on
him, and that it was not wise for one to
make explanations to his enemies.
In one letter President Lincoln wrote
that he had set forth his views on GER
tain subjects many times and that moth
ing was to be gained by repetition of
the same words on the same subject.
This was regarded as a possible refer
ence by Mr. Roosevelt to the third term
issue and his own utterances on that sub
ject. but Mr.. Roosevelt declined to make
any further explanation of his meaning
in citing the Lincoln letters.

NEW BILL REGULATES
PRACTICE OF DENTISTRY
Provides Authority for Revo-
cation of LiCenSeS-Sent
to House Committee.

Authority to revoke licenses for the
practice of dentistry in the District will
be conferred upon the board of dental
examiners if bill forwarded by the
commissioners to the House District
committee today becomes law.
The measure. which will increase the
executive and administrative powers of
the board generally, is a substitute for
the bill to regulate the practice of den
tistry in the District which was intro
duced in the House by Representative
Webb December - last
In addition to bestowing authority upon
the board of examiners for the revocation
of licenses the bill authorizes the presi-
dent and secretary of the board to ad-
minister oaths to witnesses at trials and,
at the same time, provides such restrictive
safeguards to prevent arbitrary, I'M
just action or discrimination In the en-
forcement of the provisions of the bill.
Other Features Of Bill.
Other differences between the present
law and the legislation proposed are that
the Commissioners bill provides for the
removal of a member or members Of the
board, for cause, by the Commissioners
and also provides that all examinations
shall be written questions and answers
and provides for the keeping of all rec
ords and papers thereof for a period of
five years.
Misrepresentation in advertising in con-
nection with dental practice is provided
against. while another provision of the
bill requires an increase of license fees to
provide funds for the additional labor
and other requirements upon the board
of dental examiners. The public display
in conspicuous place Of the operators
license is another requirement.
Exemptions from the provisions Of the
act are provided in the cases of physi-
clans, dental surgeons of the United
States army and navy, or regularly
licensed dental surgeons of another state
or territory actually called to attend
specified case in the District or to make
practical demonstration before
dental college or convention, and of per-
sons doing purely mechanical work upon
inert matter in a dental laboratory.
