declared with emphasis.
General dupont also denied that he

Thomas, colored, was arrested on a

The arrest was made by officer

here and took Thomas back to that
town with him. He is said to have
driven the team away from st.
Georges and after getting to his home
several miles away turned it loose on
the road.
-Four smill boys the oldest not more
than IL years of age and all wearing
short trousers We're found by officer
Shellender late Friday night on Main
street. When questioned the boys
said they were from Canton. near Bal
timore, and were on their way to
Philadelphia They claimed that they
had walked all the way from Balti-
more but their clothes and faces indi-
Gated most of the distance was coy
cred in freight cars. Three of them
gave their names as Charles Griffith,
Nick Fetter and William Wardley
and the fourth did not give her
name. They were given lodging over
night and Saturday morning were al
lowed to resume their journey. The
boys left Newark walking towards
Wilmington.
The annual meeting Of the Board
of Trustees Of Delaware College will
be held tomorrow. In addition to
routine matters there may be several
important questions before the board.
With boys playing marbles in the
streets, dandelions and other flowers
blooming in the yards and fields and
a number of farmers doing their
ploughing for corn, even the Oldest
resident Of Newark and vicinity has
to admit that they never before saw
such moderate weather in January.
Several farmers are reported to have
their spring ploughing and others are
talking of starting this week If the
mild weather continues.
There is also much concern over
the fact that there has been no ice
as yet and consequently all local ice
houses are empty. 1t is the first
winter for years that ice houses have
not been filled by this time.

MIGRATORY BIRDS

WASHINGTON. Jan 27-Ths Nc
Lean BILL extending Federal protec-
ton TO all American migratory birds
has passed the Senate without dis.
senting vote and undoubtedly will be
taforably acted upon by the House at
this session. There seems TO be all
solutely no opposition to this meas
ure, for which John Burroughs. lCr-
nest Thompson Scatch Clifford. PIN
chot, DR.. w. r. Tornaday. the Audu-
bon societies and practically all of the
countrys most prominent lovers or
Wild IRE, have united In a persistent
endeavor for immediate action. In
spite OF the rush In the House TO
complete the work Of this session IL
is now generally conceded that this
Pill will not be overlooked. The pub
lie sentienmt for IL is strong and the
need for IL is great
mo question as TO the oonstitu
uonality OF a law extending federal
protection TO migratory birds can be
successfully raised in the opinion of
far better lawyers than / am said
Clifford Pinchot today. THE provi-
sions OF the constitution under which
Congress controls Interstate commerce
ana regulates the nations rivers and
harbors are ample to cover the pro-
lection Of our migratory birds.
we must get immediate action IN
this matter. continued Mr. Pinchot.
who is deeply interested. "The state
laws afford no real protection and
never can, for birds move from state to
state, and their protection IN one state
often encourages their slaughter in
another. Already some of our most
valuable birds have entirely disap-
peared. Forests and crops suffer heav-
lily because Of the marked decrease OF
insect-eating birds The loss to the
county al large from the devastation
Of harmful insects can hardly be esti-
mated. IL probably runs into the bill
lions annually Against il the birds
are our only effective defense. Our
forests and our farms need their pro-
lection badly A young robin eats

What the countless thousands of our
