KENT WRECK JURY
 UNABLE TO AGREE

Litchfe1d. Nov. 5-In the trial of Engineer William H. Rigby, charged with being responsible for the wreck at North Kent last June when the fireman in his cab was killed, the jury yesterday afternoon, after being out two hours, reported that it was un- able to agree upon a verdict. Judge Curtis instructed the jury to go into session. again and make another at tempt to come to a decision, and if possible report at the opening of court this morning.
 Some of the testimony brought out yesterday showed that he had been specifically ordered to stop at North Kent, by a telegram, which the en- gineer had in his pocket at the time of the wreck. His counsel said that there were three stations with very similar names all close together, Kent, North Kent and South Kent, and that the engineer had become con fused. The public utilities commis- sion has already ordered the names of two of these stations changed to prevent further confusion on the part of train men.

RARITIEs FOR MUSEUM.

The American Museum expedition to Alberta, in charge of Barnum Brown, in search of cretaceous dinosaurs re- ports a successful season. Nine dino saur skulls and a correspondingly large series of skeletons parts of skeletons have been found. These all como from the older formation than those in which most of the cretaceous dinosaurs in the museum have been obtained Many, perhaps most of lem, the museum believes, will be new to science. Seventy boxes will soon be shipped and it's preparation and study will be taken up this win ter.
 Waiter Granger, in charge of the American Museum expedition to the eocene of New Mexico, has a cOllec- ton of rare fossils from the Puereo formation of the region. Regarding this W. D. Mathews says one of the most valuable portions of the Cope collection of fossil mammals purchas- ed for the museum by a number of the Trustees in 1894 was the cOllec- ton from the Puerco formation. These were and are, he says, the most an cient mammals that we know much about for the few remains of mann mals that have been found in older formations are very fragmentary and exceedingly rare. With the Puerco fauna at the very beginning of the age of mammals he asserts, commence the consecutive docum entary records of the history of the evolution of the various kinds of higher quadrupeds. It is to pa1aeontology what the Chaldean records are to archaeology.
 MT Granger has now added the lower true Puerco horizon, a collection equaIing or exceeding in value, it is figured, all that the museum possess ed hitherto, and in addition a large series of specimens from the Torrejon
 In new specimens are a number of skulls and two or more skeletons.

present national Audubon army or wardens, field agents and educators.
 That at least ninety cents in every dollar contributed by sympath1zers with the wild birds was directly spent in pleading their cause before Con gress, forty legislatures and public of ficials, or in guarding and maintaining scores of breeding refuges, is shown by the financial records of the parent Audubon association, the administra- tive expenses of which have been kept
 down to less than ten per cent of its
 income. In opposing the monied mil
 linery interests to procure protection
 for theis fs@th hered prey by the 1egis-
 lators at Washington and a score of
 state capitoIs, many thousands of dol
 lars were expended in written and
 spoken appeals to the people, whose
 representatives have, as a result Of their consequent demand, enacted law
 that are regarded as safeguarding eV-
 cry form of American bird life more
 extensively than ever befor fen his
 tory. Today Uncle Sam has become
 the leader of all the nations of the world in the suppression of bird butchery for the feather traffic and
 the preservation of his game birds by
 the new federal laws, the Audubon
 workers declare.
 Two million birds are reported to have found a safe refuge this year on the Audubon reservations and guard ed colonies on both coasts and in in land sections, as we'll some ten thousand egrets over which sixteen armed agents have watched in pro tected breeding grounds throughout the southern states. Fifty-two thou sand boys and girls have been enrolled as junior members of the National
 Association of Audubon societies since last year and thousands of dollars have been spent in supplying the com ing generation of the whole country, through the schools, with educational
 matter that must make bird protec- tors of every scholar in future years.
 The demand of the public for expert information on the economic value of bird life to agricultural prosperity as we'll as for general ornith ologica1 data, has caused the educational activities of the association to be doubled dur ing the year.
 'In addition to the lines of work in which we are already engaged, there are many new fields of opportunity opening before us for the coming
 year, said T. Gilbert Pearson, Sec retary of the National Association of Audubon societies, at it's headquar- ters, 1914 Broadway, today. 'fThe passage of the splendid federal bird protective laws in the past year and the strengthening of state laws do not
 mean that our troubles are at an end.
 These measures will doubtless be as- sailed in the courts, and never has there been a time when the infIu- ence of wise and earnest educational endeavor on behalf of the birds was
 more needed than at present.

FISH AND GAME SECRETARY
 MUST SERVE WITHOUT PAY

Attorney General John H. Light has given-to B. Hart F'enn of the fish and game commission an opinion in which he doubts the ability of the commits sion to vote a salary to their secre- tary, c. H. Pease, but thinks that they may provide clerical help for him. The opinion in part, is as follows:
 The sentence of the law to which you refer reads as follows: 'fNo mem Der shall receive compensation for his services, but his necessary travelling expenses shall be paid by the state .
 This language is broad and com prehensive. It clearly prevents any member receiving compensation for services which comes within the scope of his statutory duties. I think may safely assume that the work your sec retary has been doing comes within the score of the duties of the com mission.
 If the members of your commission think too much work has been i'm posed upon the secretary, they may appoint and pay such clerical assis- tants for him as may be necessary.
 For the reasons given, l am of the opinion that your board has no author ity to make an appropriation from the public funds of the department to compensate one of it's members.

From the canvass made your conf

The supreme court on Monday granted
a new trial TO Harold F. Henwood. who
was convicted and given u life sentence

hope OF securing nav trial for his client
He is reported to have stated that the

and upon this he bases his hope OF a
favorable outcome for his appeal.
The report has aroused intense interest
IN this city, where the consensus OF op-
lnion has been that the Judge was emin-
emily fair in his decisions and instructions
TO the jury.
