THE CHILDREN
TO SAVE BIRDS
All Pupils Are Asked by Ernest Seton
Thompson and John Burroughs
to write Congressman.

New York, Jan. 24.--John Burroughs
and Ernest Thompson Seton, widely
known naturalists, issued the follow
ing joint appeal today to the school
children of America
AN urgent appeal we make to you
in behalf of nor native birds, many
species of which are in danger of ex-
termination. TO you is now given the
opportunity to render substantial help
toward their preservation. A meas
ure is now before congress, the pur-
pose of which is to place all migratory
birds under the protection of the fed
eral government. Such law is great
ly needed If it is not passed our birds
will continue to decrease.
The destruction of bird life is cost
ing American farmers millions of dol
lars annually through the constantly
increasing devastations Of harmful in
sects upon which the birds feed. But
a greater loss their slaughter is bring
ing to all who love Gods great out
of-doors.
The measure now before congress
is non-partisan and non-political 1t
should have the hearty Endorsement of
all nature loving Americans. But it
is in danger of being lost in the great
mass of legislation now pending in
congress
I'VE therefore appeal to the school
children of America to help in this i'm.
portant matter. We ask you to get
your parents, teachers and friends to
write or telegraph to the congressman
of your district and the two senators
of your state, urging immediate ac-
tion upon the pending bird protection
bin. If you will today get two or three
such messages written and sent you
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that you have rendered substantial
help in this great and good cause. The
messages should be sent at once
And this appeal is big enough and
important enough to extend to all men
and women"

Homer Richards Of Muskosee Attemps
to Burn Pueblo Jail.

Pueblo. Colo, Jan. 23.--Homer Rich
ards, wanted in Oklahoma for partici-
patton in half dozen bank robberies.
Including one at Claremore, made two
Unsuccessful attempts to commit sui
eide in the city jail this morning. On
both occasions Richards set fire to the
bed clothing in his cell with a view to
burning the building. Each fire was
discovered by the jailer and extin-
guished before much damage had been
done.
Richards WAS chained to the floor
OF his cell, so he could make no fur
ther attempts.
The prisoner recently confessed to
the robberies but declares he will
never return to Oklahoma for trial
Julia Williams, the young woman
found in his company when arrested,
has deserted him, adding to the pris-
oner's discontinue
The young woman said she did not

JUDGE ROGERS
HAS OPPOSITION

Washington, d. c., Jan. 24s-Owing
to the fact that the Oklahoma legisla-
ture, Senator r. L. owen, the three
congressmen-at-large-elect from. Okla
homa and commercial bodies through
out the state have endorsed the can
didacy of Judge R. A. Rogers of Okla
homa City for the interiorship berth
in President Wilson's cabinet, it is
said here that Col ]. w. zeyely of
Muskogee, who has all along been
prominently mentioned in connection
with the interior portfolio, has practi-
cally decided to withdraw.
In the event that Col. zevely does
decide to retire, it is thought that Rep
Iresentatives Davenport, Ferris and
Carter win join with Senator Owen
and the three congressmen-at-large in
urging the appointment of Judge Rog-
ers in spite of the fact that the Okla
homa City court records may endan-
ger any chance he may ever have had
for succeeding Secrtary of the Interior
Walter Fisher. Senator Gore has not
stated his position in regard to the
appointment of Mr.. Rogers, who was
a classmate of President-elect Wilson
at Princeton Judge Rogers is praeti-
cally unknown in Oklahoma and it is
extremely doubtful if his selection as
la member OF the cabinet would appeal
to the rank and file democrats in the
state. Judge Rogers has been con
Quoting a gum shoe campaign in
Washington for some time and has
some powerful influences behind his
candidacy, but even so, it is doubtful
if even the Oklahoma congressional
delegation seriously thinks that he
will be named as member of the
presidents official family.
If Albert Burleson of Texas, is of
fered the postmaster generalship or
the interior department portfolio, it
will preclude the possibility Of an Ok
lahoma man being named in the cabi-
net
Representative Ferris, Davenport
and Carter have been avowed Zeyely
men in the interiorship fight and will
stick with him if he remains in the
running, otherwise it is expected that
they will join with the other members
of the Oklahoma delegation in urging
the appointment of Judge Rogers.
Beyond the generally accepted opin-
ion that William Jennings Bryan will
be offered and will accept the state
portfolio! it is not thought here that
Governor Wilson has as yet definitely
decided upon the makeup of his cab
met.

Legislative Board of
Railroad Trainmen
Sends NeWLetter
To Governor.
'MisconslTuctlOn Or ignorance
OF Seniority Rule Declared,

Boston, Oct. Another letter in
connection with the controversy over
the Seniority rule which formerly
governed the promotion of firemen and
engineers on the New York. New Hav-
en- & Hartford Railroad was sent to
Governor Foss, today. It was from the
legislative board of the brotherhood
OF railroad trainmen and was signed
by W. l.. McMenimen, the boards
chairman.
The form of the seniority rule is the
principal issue and a threatened strike
of fremen and engineers on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
system. Gov. Foss recently criticized
the operation of the rule which the
men wished adopted and said that he
would call an extraordinary session
OF the Legislature, if necessary to meet
the situation caused by a strike. The
flfemen and engineers are reported to
have voted overwhelmingly in favor
of strike.
The executive board of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen voted to
condemn the Governors attack upon
the rule, according to today's letter.
In this letter. Chairman McMenimem
cites the seniority rule which appears
in the Boston & Maine Railroad sched-
ule as being substantially the same as
that in force upon all the railroads of
the country. This rule reads:
Promotions will be governed by
merit ability and seniority, all things
being equal preference will be given
to the men longest in the service. the
superintendent to be judge of qualifi-
cations"
Chairman MeMenimem declared that
Coy, Fcss Either purposely miscon-
strued,' the old seniority rule which
the New Haven management has re-
placed with another, or that he was
Ignorant as to what the rule is"
I'm either case the letter to the
Governor asserted at is your DUTY
upon being shown your error to apollo
gize to the people and to the railroad
hrotherhoods.
After quoting the Boston & Maine
rule, the letter continued: This rule
is very simple, and is perfectly under
stood by all railroad employees. 1t pro-
vides merely the order in which men
