BY telegraph TO The Tribune.
Boston, Oct. 1s.-Mme. Polaire is stifed

Lady Constance Stewart Richardson
declares that the cultured Hub appreci-

her performance
Both agree that Gertie Hoffman, mo-

All of which are contributory causes to
the disbanding Of the trio. Polaite and
Lady Constance have served notices on

While the differences probably existed
before they struck Boston, it Is evident
that the Hub audiences settled It. In

CROW NOT so EVIL
A BIRD AS PAINTED
Government Experts Find He
Aids Farmers by Eating
Injurious Insects.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Oct. 19-The crow, say the
government experts, is not as black as ne
has been painted. The case OF the ma
ligned bird, condemned a decade or more
ago as destructive In agricultural fields,
has been reopened by the Department OF
Agriculture. and a more favorable verdict
reached. The investigation made by ex-
perts OF the biological survey of the de-
partment shows the crow to De OF great
value to the farmers.
After a careful study of the habits and
the examination of a large number oil
stomachs the department experts have
reached the conclusion that the crow con-
sumes enough grasshoppers, cutworms,
white grubs and other injurious insects
to make him highly valuable to farmers.
There is, however. one bad habit which
the crow has, and that is the destruction
of young birds and bird eggs, but this
trait is outweighed by the good the bird
is doing for the farmer in the destruction
OF worms and insects.
The one danger from the crow. accord
ing TO department experts, lies in large
numbers. II the number can be kept
down so that it's normal food is sufficient,
there is every reason why farmers should
encourage the bird to remain about their
farms.
Not long ago an agent OF the depart
ment was watching a crow feeding in a
cornfleld. II seemed that the bird was
pulling up young corn and carrying it to
a nearby nest to feed its young.
After the crow had left the nest the
agent climbed the tree and secured the
young birds. An examination showed
that, instead of young corn or the kernel
of the corn. the older bird had been feed

II have had some suggestions made TO
me that the government ought TO main
tain the rs at par, but the government Is
under no legal or moral obligation TO do
this. There is only one way in which the
government could do II, and that Is TO go
into the market and buy the bonds when
ever they are offered. II would have to
be prepared, therefore, to take all or any
part OF the 500, 0Oo. 900 outstanding.
When a corporation. public or private,
finances its requirements by the sale OF
longtime obligations, II contracts to pay
the principal at par at maturity, to pay
the interest in the meantime, and to see
that the holder Of the bond is secured in
all the rights guaranteed by the con-
tract. The government is doing this lit
orally.
obviously no government or corpora
ton can guarantee the holder OF its bond
against market fluctuations. The very
purpose Of financing its needs by the issue
OF longtime obligations would be defeat
ed II the government had to use the pro-
ceeds OF the sale of its bonds or the cur
rent revenues, to sustain the market or
to influence the price OF Its bonds. No
state. municipality or corporation would
consider doing or attempting such a
thing. much less contracting to do such
a thing.
