A NEW AMERICAN BIRD
The Common Startling Now at Home
in America-Other Newcomers

From the Raja Yoga Messenger.
The common starting found in all tho
countries lying between Kamtchatka
and the Cape of Good Hope, has recent
y been introduced into America. AL
though small bird-scarcely as big
as mocking bird-he is a memeber of
1.-THE highly respected family of crows.
His plumage, when examined In the
sunlight close at hand, is seen to SHIN
mer with bright metallic luster fash
ing one moment with a CLEAN of vivid
purple, and on a sudden changing to IL
GLORIOUS green. Every feather is tipped
with cream buff, and his plumage has
been POLITICALLY described as "A garment
of shot silk garnished with pearls"
1t was in 1890 that the first imported
starlings were set free in New York
lefty, and for the next few years they
|settled down in Central park. nesting
very appropriately in the American
museum of natural history In 1909
they We're reported from Lawrenceville,
land soon after from Princeton, N. J.%
and Philadelphia. AS they still further
multiply they will no doubt extend
their range over the whole continent.
The starlings will probably do more
good than harm, as they are very fond
of wireworms, and If they congregate
among the cherry trees when fruit is
ripe, we must consent to spare few
handfuls, bearing in mind the ancient
lproverb 'that the 1aborer is worthy of
his hire. They are brisk. lively birds,
and a little flock of starlings marching
on lawn in eager quest of wireworms
and earthworms is a very pretty sight.
Why do the sparrows and canaries hop
with both legs at once. while crows and
starlings march with a regular stride?
| Their bones and muscles have the same
formation but their gait and carria &c
are entirely different
| The English sparrow has been living
in this country now for many years;
but though a cheerful active bird, he
| is not generally liked Perhaps they
begin to be cheerful too early in the
morning for people who prefer to sleep
late, and when their activity takes the
form of excursions to the grain fields
| In the autumn. the farmers think them
selves entitled to complain.
| 1t is always a risky thing to intro
| duce new animals and birds from for
lelgn countries, and the government has
acted wisely in prohibiting the practice.
we wonder what the California fruit
growers would say II the 'kalongs" or
big frugivorous bats of Asia. should set
up housekeeping among the apricots
and fig orchards. The growers would
! be sure to make their feelings known
Skylarks brought over from Europe,
have comfortably settled near Brooklyn
and In one locality in Virginia; but no
complaints have yet been made against
them.

Suffrage March

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-President
Taft will turn out the Fifteenth
United States Cavalry at Fort Meyer,
if necessary, to protect the suffra-
gists who desire to parade down
Pennsylvania avenue on March be-
fore the throngs drawn here to wit

lowing day.
This was the information given out
at suffragist headquarters today. The
women declare the commissioners of
the district and Major Richard Syl-
vester, superintendent of police, have
withheld permission for the parade
because they feared the actions of
hostile crowd might overtax the
police and that proper protection
could not be given the marchers.
Prominent local business men have
volunteered their services to the suf-
fragist managers. and it was said
they obtained the Presidents prom

CHRISTMAS CANDLES SET
IRVINGTON HOUSE ON FIRE

Although they have no children,
Albrecht Ludewigs, of 14S Maple ave-
nue., Irvington, and his wife always
decorate Christmas tree. They
had one this year.
: Every evening after dinner they
religiously lit each tiny eolored can
die and sat in their parlor admiring
the brilliance of the gilt festoons and
the rich interplay of rainbow hues
among the tfnsel baubles.
I'll go in and light the tree" said
Mr. Ludewigs as he rose from the
table last night.
He returned a. minute later smiling
and invited his wife in to see, just
as he had every evening since Christ
mas. They found the tree ablaze.
Mr.. Ludewigs ran upstairs for a
blanket and wrapped it around the
tree. The blanket caught fire and
he was burned on the left side of the
face and on the right hand.
The flames spread quickly through
out the 2h-story frame house. The
ffremen had difficulty in preventing
the flames from spreading to an adj
jacent row of wooden buildings. The
damage was $4,000, covered by insur-
ance.
DIR. Arthur c. Wilkes, of Clinton
avenue, dressed Mr. Ludewigs's
burns.

Dropped.
If RELEASED HE WILL
BE ARRESTED AGAIN
indictments Based on Handling
of Szabo Estate Still
Face Him.

MIDDLETOWN. N. Y. Jan Il
Burton w Gibson. the New York
lawyer tried for the murder of Mrs.
Rosana Szabo, client, by jury
that could not agree. is hopeful today
he VIII soon be free, so far as the
murder charge is concerned.
His case probably will come up
again this week at Goshen. but it
seems unlikely that he will be tried
a second time on a charge of
strangling Mrs. Szabo while they were
rowing on Greenwood lake last July,
as it is understood District Attorney
Wilson will not oppose an application
of Gibson's attorneys for discharge.
The evidence against Gibson was
circumstantiar and when the jury
failed to agree on a verdict the be-
lief was expressed 1t would be inn
possible to convict him. The trial cost
the taxpayers of thes county several
thousand dollars and there was a loud
protest against further waste of
money.
The retiring district attorney de-
clined to act, saying he would leave
the matter of a second trial to his
successor, who took office January 1.
1t is understood District Attorney
Wilson is so doubtful of being able
to convict Gibson on the evidence
that he is unwilling to put the county
to the expense of another trial.
If Gibson is released he will be re-
arrested Immediately on indictments
in New York county based on his
handling of the Szabo estate. These
indictments were returned while he
was in Jail at Goshen

CENTRAL BANK IS
URGED BY HEPBURN
Elasticity of Currency, Credit
Market and Competition of
Reserves Needed, He Says.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Seeking to
evolve a new currency system plan
to be recommended to Congress as a
substitute for the one proposed by
the National Monetary Commission,
a subcommittee of the House COM
mittee on banking and currency to-
day began a series of public hearings
that probably will continue several
weeks.
Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of the
board of the Chase National Bank,
was first called. He said he was
committed to the National Monetary
Commission plan of currency reform,
which he regarded as an intelligent
ly and carefully considered system,
which, if enacted into law, would re-
suit in great good to the country.
He added, however, that he did not
regard the Aldrich bill as the last
word in currency legislation.
Il think you gentlemen can be as.
sured at the outset" he said, that
you will have the sympathetic COOP
GRAFTON of the banking and business
interests of the country"
Mr.. Hepburn urged the necessity
for a central bank similar to the one
proposed in the monetary commits
sion's plan.
There are three cardinal defects in
our currency system" said the wit
ness, want of elasticity want of a
market for credit and competitive

PERFUMERY NO
LUXURY, HE SAYS
That's What Manufacturer
Tells Congressional Commit
tee at Tariff Hearing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Manufac-
turing interests from Paris TO san
Francisco affected by the contem-
plated Democratic revision of the tar
if were represented today at the sec
ond hearing on the chemical schedule
before the House ways and means
committee. The hearings are to con-
tinue until January 81, the time being
divided between the tariff schedules
taken up in sequence.
The first witness today was Theo-
dore Ricksecker, of New York, VINO
bespoke the opposition of the Manu-
featuring Perfumers Association to
the transfer of distilled and essential
oils used in perfumery preparations
from the free list to 20 per cent. ad
valorem duty. He said he regarded
1t as a mistaken notion that perfum-
cry was a luxury and that he had
known of working girls who spent
much of their wages for it.
Mr. Ricksecker made plea that
1--WE are all entitled to a slice of hap
piness," and that perfumery was vir-
tually a necessity for servant girls
as well as a necessity for womankind
generally.
The manufacture of dry colors IN
the United States was taken up with
Arthur S. Somers, of New York, as
a witness. He asked for an equaliza-
ton of the tariff reductions on coal
tar dyes and on dry colors.
Are you in sympathy with the idea
of a tax on raw materials that enter
into manufacture, asked Represent
alive Payne, of New York, former Re-
publican chairman of the committee.
mo-" said the witness.
The committee is keeping the wit
nesses as closely as possible to their
allotted time, allowing each fifteen
minute headway for uninterrupted
argument, followed by a more or less
close examination by the committee.
Failure of a witness to appear at
the appointed time forfeits his right
to speak, though one is permitted to
file a statemental brief. The plan Of
Chairman Underwood 2is to get
through with the hearings as expe-
ditiously as is consistent with the
policy of allowing all interests an OPP
portunity to present views.

OF course, the Public Service Cor

that one Of the principles on which
the appeal is based is that the COM

The commission, on the other hand,
feels that the company has done
everything within its power by fixing

SUFFRAGE BOARD
TO MEET TONIGHT
Plans Public Meetings First
Monday Of Each
Month.
SPEAKER URGES WOMEN
TO EXTENSIVE READING
Or. Bohn Sees Great Advance
for World in Suffrage
Movement.

A meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Women's Political
Union will be held tonight at the
Headquarters, 102 Halsey Street. Miss
Belle L. Tiffany, acting president,
will preside. 1t has been decided to
hold open meetings, to which the
public is invited, the first Monday OF
each month. DIR. Maud Thompson
has secured prominent speakers for
these occasions.
DIR. Frank Bohn spoke at meet
ing of the union last night, and told
his hearers that the whole world has
been transformed. Industrial free
dom will come with human freedom
and the elevation of love, he de-
clared. He urged women to set aside
a certain part of each day for serious
reading so that they might become
acquainted with the problems of the
day. DIR. Bohn spoke in part as
follows:
1.-THE old home was a woman's
home, the old government
mans government. Now the work
of the home has to a great extent
been taken over by the factory. 1t
is not a womans factory, but peo-
ple's factory, and the government
must not be a mans government, but
a peoples government.
"Our great problem is to see that
working women are advanced the
same as working men are advanced.
The problem can be solved by the
people working up from the bottom
and not by one man or a group or
men working down from the top. In
the Lawrence strike the blood of the
men mingled with the blood of the
women. This had not happened for
2.OO0 years. 1t showed that the wom-
en-, working side by side with the
men. were ready to fight side by side
with them, that they had ceased to
be women in industry and had be-
come people.
1.-THE ends gained by that strike
can not be kept nor can any advance
be made unless backed by the ballot.
The ballot is a means to an end, not
an end in itself. Some people think
that all problems will be solved when
women get the vote. I want them to
get it quickly so they can help with
the vast number of problems that
confront us. Their enfranchisement
will give us the freedom to seek the
solution of the greatest problem of
the world, the relation Of the sexes +"

HEAD Of DEFUNCT
CONCERN ON TRIAL
Former President of Mercantile
Agency Accused of
ENLIGHTENMENT.

Alexander Legler, former president
of the Legler Mercantile Agency, now
defunct, is on trial in Part H., Quar-
ter Sessions Court, before Judge
Harry V. Osborne, on a charge of
embezzlement arising out of two
check transactions in March, 1911.
The charge is made by Nicholas
La Vecehia, as secretary of the COM
pany, who alleges that Legler con-
verted $S1O1S of the company's assets
to his own use without authority of
the company. One check, drawn on
March 80, for $500 was used, it is
alleged in the complaint in part pay
ment of an automobile purchased by
Legler, while the other dated March
%, for $3101S, was paid to Mrs. A c.
Manning in part payment of a house
bought by Legler.
According to Mr.. La Vecchia, Leg
Ter had no right to draw this money
for the purpose used and was not
authorized by the board of directors
to do so. Legler left the company in
June, 1911, and went to New York
city, the alleged misuse of checks not
being discovered until after his de-
parture. A request for payment of
bill for furniture which the directors
supposed had been paid by the check
of $310.1S March 90 led to an investi-
cation and an indictment for embez-
element followed. This check was
simply marked furniture" on the
check book stub.
Legler was on trial last March on
a charge of embezzlement preferred
by DIR. r. M. Colburn, of Broad and
Kinney streets, the charge growing
out of some stock deals in which the
men were interested. After trial
lasting three days the jury were I'M
able to agree as to his guilt or inno-
cence and were discharged on March
"a. DIR. Colburn was one of the di-
rectors of the defunct mercantile
agency.
