UNITE TO SAVE
HOSTS OF HERONS
Americans Favor Ban on Aigrettes -
Congress Asked to Wipe Out Bloody
Feather Traffic.

That ninety millien Americans have
broken party lines to support the single
section of the tariff l,Uprohibiting
the importation of the plumes of butch
cred mother herons and all other wild
birds, was shown by reports Just re
ceived from every section of the coun-
try at the headquarters of the Nation
al Association of Audubon societies in
New York city. In response to tele-
grams of congratulation from many of
the 100000 members affiliated under
this association, as well as from state
game commissioners, oranges, women :
clubs, museums of natural history, bird
| protective, scientific and sportsmen s
organizations all over the land, the Au
dubon leaders, who presented this sec
tiOn aimed at aigrettc traffic to the
trainers of this bill, are now urging all
| humane citizens TO ask its passage at
| the hands of their representatives, at
| Washington. If the bloody scalps of
the birds for whose nuptial plumes the
while globe has been secured for the
millinery market are barred from
American shores by this tiny tariff
clause, millions of brooding birds of
the most beautiful species will be saw
ed from slaughter and eventual eX-
tinetion, it is declared. &c.. -.
| Powerful opposition to the principle
of protection of bird life, which was
voiced in this section of the tariff bill
in response to countrywide demand
for nOn-partisan humanitarianiSm, is
today expected solely from the monied
interests that maintain armies to hunt
down the mother egrets all over the
world and ship their scalps to milliners
here, leaving a brood of young tC
starve for each plume captured in the
slaughter. If the new tariff law bans
these bloody spoils, it is admitted by
the mllliners that the vogue of the aig
rette, the maribou, the Bird of Para
disc and the Goura will yield to ostriel
lplumes and feathers of domestic fowls
and the cruel traffic in murdered moth
er birds will cease. In order to defea
the selfish interests of the few bir,

How the Pussy Willow Came.

There was a flood long years ago.
Or 50 the people say:
1t rained and rained from dark gray
clowds
For many a weary day.
The cats and kittnes ran and ran.
To find warm, dry spot;
The larger ones reached mountain high,
But the little ones could not.
But, by brooklet. as they passed,
They saw row of trees,
And. feeling tired, cold and wet,
They climed up into these.
Each kitten found little branch
And curled up in a heap.
And before many hours were passed.
They all were fast asleep.
The storm it ragged and waves dashed
high,
And then the kittens all
Were covered DER with soft, brown mud
And looked just like ball
At last the storm came to an end
| The sun shone IN the sky;
| The mud that covered up each puss
Became quite hard and dry.
And then small bits began to fall,
| Till one could clearly see
Soft spots of gray and yellow fur,
| As plainly as could be.
And, by and by, out popped THEN heads
| The mud all fell away,
| And there sat pussies in a row
OF yellow, white and gray.
And in the meadow by the brook.
If you should look to sec,
You'd still find pusscs gray and white,
Up in each willow tree.

THAW'S BRIEF FILED.


Concord, Nov. 3.-The final brief
for Harry X. Thaw in connection with
his efforts to resist extradition from
New Hampshire to New York was
filed with Governor Felker today. The
brief states that the requisition is not
in accordance with the rules Of prac-
tice; that the laws of New York were
violated in obtaining the indictment
and that the requisition is not made in
good faith The activity of William
Travers Jerome in obtaining the in
dictment and his language at the
hearings before Governor Felker are
attacked.
The brief says: 1.-The language used
Is bullying and threatening and could
be used for no other purpose than the
silly thought to intimidate your ex-
celiency. This unusual and uncalled
for extravagant language indicated a
personal, private purpose, and is not
consistent with the simple, dienffied
discharge of public duty"

John Lind In Conference With
Foreign Ministers.
Finds . Disposition to Cooper
ate With United States,
Reports of Such Plans Declared
to Be Unwarranted.
The Mexican Rebels Send N
Emissary to Washington.

Washington. Nov. 3.-Reports from
John Lind, President Wilson's personal
representative in Mexico. concerning
his recent conferences In Vera Crns,
with the Russian. German and Nor
wegian ministers to Mexico, conveyed
the impression to President Wilson to-
day that there was disposition ON the
part Of those diplomats to cooperate
with the United States in lending their
support to the plans of the Washing-
ton government for solving the attua-
ton. No announcement was made here
today as to any future policy. Admin
lstratton officials, however. did say that
published stories forecast:ng inter-
vention were not justified, that there
was nothing in the situation to war
rant such an assumption.
The arrival OF Oborto Pesquiera, an
emissary from Carranza, the constitu-
tionalist chief, raised the question Of
whether the Washington government
would receive representations from
the constttutionalists. President Will
son made 1t clear to those who dis
cussed the situation with him that
OFFICIALLY the government could not
receive any formal representations but
tnat In some way or other, the in
formation which the constitutionalists
desire to lay before the American gov
ernment would be received.
In that connection it became known
that the cOnstitutionalists at q recent
conference of chiefs. decided not to
but to request that there be no inter-
ference on the part Of the United
States in their own efforts to solve the
situation by arms. The constitution
alists want the embargo on arms re-

piled on an equal footing. The presi-
dent had been petitioned to remove
