One Vetoed.
But one bill was vetoed this ses-
sion, and that on constitutional
grounds.
While waiting for the reports, many
of the members left in the house,
flushed from the wordy battle, gath
cred each time at the back of the
hall and harmony that would have
put to shame any barber shop organi-
cation was turned loose on the early
morning air.
"Old Black joe "The Suwanee
River" The Old Oaken Bucket" and
others were among the repertoire.

BIRDS, GAME, AND
FuR.BEARlNG ANIMALS

According to the annual report OF
the biological survey recently sub
mitted to Secretary Wilson the rearing
of ~fur-bearing animals in the United
States for their pelts continues to be
a subject of much interest. Skunks,
muskrats, mink, and foxes are reared
In captivity or on preserves under con-
troll of breeders. The large prices
asked for mature black foxes for
breeding purposes has resulted in CON
timing the industry in the hands OF a
very few. Comparatively few at
tempts have been made to raise mink
in the United States, but experiments
are being conducted In cooperation
with the National Geological park with
a view to determining the most sue
.cessful methods of rearing these
animals. Muskrat farming has prob
ably reached its highest point oil
development on the eastern shore OF
Maryland. Muskrat marshes are worth
more measured by their actual income
than cultivated farms of like acreage
in h same vicinity. Only one 9th
animal in the world, the Europe8r
rabbit, exceeds the muskrat in tn.
number of skins marketed.
The report also calls attention tC
experiments for the determination II
prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and
gophers that r being conducted by
means of poison bats, traps, and other
methods. It is a surprising fact that
the daily forage for thirty-tWo adult
prairie dogs equals that required for
a sheep. and that ESQ eat nearly as
much as a COW. Spotted fever ticks
in the two younger stages live almost
wholly upon small native rodents, ard
the California ground squirrel has
been infected with bubonic plagae by
leas from rats. The danger that these
diseases may become endemic fur
nishes an additional important rea-
son for the destruction Of the animals.
The bureau reports that the antelope
is in greater danger OF determination
than any other kind OF American big
game, that there is great need for a
suitable preserve in the antelope
country, and that the buffalo Of the
National Bison range have now in
creased to eighty-one, or forty-four
more than the original number three
years ago.
There are now fifty six bird reserva-
tons, and additional inspectors and
wardens have been appointed TO care
for them. The European rabbit, i'm
PRODUCED on FaraIlon Islands, Cali
fornia, and Laysan Island, Hawaii, has
become Sucn a pest tnat EFFORTS VIII
be made to reduce its number on Lay
san Island. Every effort has been
made to stop the sale of plumage Of
certain birds, gulls, terms, and es-
pecially herons. New regulations
passed under the Alaska game law
practically makes game refugees OF five
islands in southeastern Alaska. In
structions have been given TO the
revenue cutters in Bering Sea to in
sure a strict enforcement Of the law
protecting walrus.

Denver Republican: A bill for the
federal protection Of migratory birds
will come before congress at the pres
ent session. and there is every indicaS
ton that it will become a law. because
the farmers are aroused to the fact that
they are losing millions every year
through the slaughter OF the f~eathcTedl
dcstroyers OF insects.
In the meantime better protection is
needed for the city birds, which play
al important part in keeping down tire
insect life that threatens the destruc-
ton Of town foliage. The fight to SAVE
the trees in parks and along shady
avenues is getting too sever for some
cities, largely because the destruction
OF birds has been permitted. 99a.
Every city dwel1er can assist I'm the
good work by feeding the birds when.
snow is on the ground. Protect the
birds in winter and you viii be amply
repaid in summer when the foliagerof

COMMISSION
INDICATED
BY MEADs

City Controller Meads appeared
before the city commission this
morning.
He indicated the commission
on charges of extravaganza and
unbusinesslike manipulation of
city funds and said that the jug
Cling" of funds by the commission
had i'm fact been an evidence OF
good business sense by which the
commission had saved to the tax
payers in the last year about
$35, 900.
Meads declared the statements
in certain papers that have been
ostensihly quoting figures from
him to discrcdit the city admin
istration, have been absolutely
false, made out of whole cloth and
that he has not given out any such
figures as are attributed to him.
After Meads had laid his soul
bare before the council the COM
mission voted to spend about $500
to have his semi-annual report
printed.

1t appears a church was going

night to raise some money. War

ENGLISH PAPERS FUNNY

LONDON, April 3O.-London
papers are poking fun at Mrs. o.
III. p. Belmont, the American suf-
fragette sympathizer, over her
declaration that she would not
spend a penny in London be-
cause Of the treatment of English
suffragettes by the government.

When Mr.. Bean came out he
made a run to avoid the newspa-
permen.
When Mayor Seymour came out
he answered all inquiries con-
cerning the tideflat deal by tell
ing stories, or evasive quibbling.
He did finally let slip that the
thing was not settled and pros
poets were not the best.
AS a matter of fact, Manager
Bean is using the situation to
hammer the council and defeat
municipal ownership. He as
sumes a don't care" attitude, in
Inmates that he would Just as
leave the city build and operate
a line as not, but in the next
breath suggests some possible So
luton that would let the company
over that bridge.
All of which keeps the council
guessing and muddled and the
effect of which will be to put the
voting public on the anxious seat.
Commissioner Woods admitted
today that Mr.. Bean wants to
operate the city line after the
city builds it on a mileage basis.
This would give the city about a
tenth of cent per passenger.
After the conference with Mr..
Bean, the mayor, Woods and
Freeland went to the Milwaukee
shops to talk with the men there
concerning the deal.
In the meantime the public is
kept in the dark as to what the
council intends to do, or why II
is attempting to do anything after
submitting municipal ownership
to the people:
Engineer Henry l.. Gray, it is
said, is to report to the council
this afternoon, but on just what
he is to report no one will say.
Neither will anybody around the
city hall tell who hired Gray and
who is going to pay him.

LONDON, April 30.-Marked
by an exciting battle with the po-
lice with clubs on one hand and
umbrellas and hatpins on the 9TH
er, the headquarters of the mill
tant suffregettes in Kings Way
were raided by Home Secretary
McKenna. Seven leaders, Mrs.
Drummond, Mrs. Saunders, the
Misses Kenney, Kerr, Lake, Len
nox and Barrett were arrested and
taken to the Bow street station.
As the women were taken away
they struck at the police repeat
edly with umbrellas but were fin
ally subdued.
The police stripped the build
ing of furniture, indicating their
intention of permanently breaking
up the militant organization.
Suffragettes arrested were held
without bail and remanded to
prison for trials Friday.
Mrs. Despard and other leaders
were at the headquarters when
the raid was made. They were
taken by surprise and were un-
able to hide anything. Despite
their protests, Superintendent
Quinn of Scotland Yard searched
the entire building for evidence
and documents and confiscated
everything In sight. The women
were dragged out, struggling
fiercely and were warned to stay
out. Officers surrounded the
building and held militants at
bay. The latter screamed threats
at the police. Women detectives
of Scotland Yard posing as suf-
fragettes secured evidence upon
which the raid was based. Raiders
searched the women's handbags,
seized much of their correspond
ence, including letters which are
alleged to be incriminating. Po-
lice hauled down and confiscated
suffragette flag from the tip of
the building.
A. H. Bodkin, special prosecu-
tor for the government, announc-
ed today that the home office is
determined to suppress violence.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 3d.
Police Detective Frank Esoia will
be arrested tomorrow following
an indictment by the grand jury
on a charge of accepting a bribe
from an agent of the Italian
bunco ring to hush up" opera
tions of the ring. Esola was
suspended with seven others from
the force previous to the return

evidence that police and bunco
men Systematically aided each
other in the swindling operations
of the ring here will be supplied,
II is alleged, to the grand jury
tonight by an Italian named Gigi,
who claims he was a hanger-on
in the bunco clique.
