WASHINGTON, d. c., June 49,
Almost on the eve of the introduction
of the currency reform bill bearing
the 20. K" of President Wilson, Sen
ator Owen and Representative Glass,
the three administration leaders in
banking legislation, Chairman Henry
of the house rules committee today
issued his second appeal for stay
in the proposed legislation until the
money trust investigation had been
concluded.
Henry stated emphatically that he
had no thought of antagonizing Pres
ident Wilson on the currency ques-
ton. However, he submitted three
reasons why action should await a
further probe of the money trust
Henry said that over $1,000 had beer
spent for the investigation and that
the weeks of hard labor should not
now be repudiated and the rich
harvest lost.
"The committee had fifty witnesses
on the last day of the investigation
ready to testify" the Texas member
explained 'Many witnesses were
ready and proof was at hand to ex
pose the secret transactions of Wal
street bankers in numerous rotter
and cdorous deals when those bank
ers and the comptroller hid behint
the Immunity statute shielding then
and their shady transactions from
visitatorial powers by congress.
wall street bankers are toda,
clamoring for currency legislation il
order that they make through asse
currency a market for their CONNER
cial paper, and deliberately reiter
ate this charge. Wall street banker

FREEDOM OF PRESS
is ADVOCATED

COLORADO SPRINGS, June 49,
Judge Mcpherson was absent, but his
paper was read. He denounced yellow
journals as scandalmongers and out
laws and defended the newspapers
right to criticise judges.
In his paper the judge said in part:
"a judge can not command respect
simply by wearing silk hat, MORN
ing coat, white tie or in speaking in
gutteral tones. To be honest he must
be understood. 1t is not much credit
to man to say he is honest. We
freely discuss presidents. So it should
be with the courts. Such criticism
is not harmful but a help. Some
courts in the past have undertaken
to punish newspapers because articles
printed which criticised the courts,
but that practice is obsolete, as it
should be. No judge ever maintained
his dignity by furnishing an editor
for printing animadiversions."

for a flicker and four inches for a

trance may be round, square or OBJ
long and it is better to have the roof
jut over it two or three inches to shed
the rain. The costly boxes and bird
houses made by manufacturers of
such goods are better than most of
the homemade ones, but they are not
essential. as the birds usually are not
fastidious, provided the box and the

Many people have been led to believe
that birds are shy of painted houses

detail Birds that usually nest in

same birds prefer a painted one. Any
bird house that is exposed constantly

in light colors SO that it will not so

HOW TO PUT UP BIRD HOUSES

Now is the time to put up bird
houses and nesting boxes. It would
have been better to erect them last
fall with a little warm material in
the bottom of each, SO that wood
peckers, nuthatches or chickadee
could find warmth and shelter during
the long cold winter nights. But
where English sparrows are numerous
they usually find and occupy such
boxes in the winter. fill them up with
nesting material early in spring and
drive native birds away. If the boxes
are put up now the native birds will
have some chance to keep the spar
rows out.
Let no one fail to put up bird boxes
because of the expense. Any boy can
make them and the material needed
costs little if anything. The blue
bird, martin. tree swallow, wren,
flicker, chickadee, screech owl, and
wood duck all nest naturally in hollow
trees or cavities in tree limbs.
A hollow branch, five or more inches
inside diameter, trimmed from an ap-
pie tree, may be made into several
excellent nesting boxes by saving it
into sections each a. foot or more long,
mailing on each section a piece of
board shingle for a roof. plugging
the bottom cutting a hole one side
near the top for the entrance and
