LUCERNE OFFERS HAVEN
OF REFUGE FOR TANGOISTS

LUCERNE, Colo, June 10.-Lu-
cerne has offered haven of refuge
for tangoists who have been barred
from Greeley. The city council at
Greeley recently forbade the holding
of any public dances, on the grounds
that wiggly dances and rowdy con-
duct had rendered the affairs public
nuisances.
Lucerne, however, believes that the
tango, maxixe, one step, and the rest
of the modern dances are all right.
A dance was held here last night at
tended by forty couples from Greeley,
and another is scheduled for next
week.

Bird Census Of
U. S. is Suggested

WASHINGTON, d. c., June TO-
A bird census of the United States
is the latest suggestion from the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. The counting should begin this
month and every bird lover through
out the country is invited to assist.
In the announcement the depart
ment says; "The object is to deter
mine how many pairs Of birds OF
each species breed within definite
areas, BY comparing these figures
with those Of subsequent censuses it
will be possible to ascertain whether
the present state and federal laws
are effective and game and insec-
tiverous birds increasing or diminish
ing in numbers. Voluntary observer
are relied upon to furnish most of tn
desired data to the department"
The first step Of the department
was to ask $50 of its correspondents
to act as census agents in different
localities. They win select their train
ed observers and, following an outline
of information furnished by the de-
partment, will take the census.
Correspondents will be asked to Sc
lect fairly representative territory in
their localities and 10 note, among
other things, the kinds Of and pairs Of
birds actually nesting within re-
stricted plot. And the census takers
are warned not to include birds which
come into that territory simply for
breeding purposes.
Each correspondent is asked 20 &c
out early in the morning and count
the male birds-for that is the hou,
they do most of their singing. Suf.
frege is to bear no part in the birc
counting. however, for the department
has decided that after migration Il
over the birds are settled in theil
summer quarters "it in safe to con
sider that each male represents /
breeding pair"

NEW YORK, June 10.-Amos Pin

lie letter demanding that George
Perkins, chairman of the national
Progressive executive committee
withdraw absolutely from the direc-
tion of the party's affairs for party
good" The letter was sent to Sena-
tor Dixon, Colonel Roosevelt and
Perkins. Perkins has not replied.
The letter declares a situation ex-
lists within the party which must be
terminated before the party can com
mand popular support and asserts one
element is the party leaders headed
by Perkins who favor protecting pri-
vate monopoly in American industry
and have been taking active steps to
commit the party to the policy. Pin
chot asserts the executive committee
actively opposes the laborers' rights
to organize and deal with capital
through the union, making the party
subject to the charge of lukewarm-
ness or even antagonistic to the in

A STRANGE REASON.
Topeka Man Leaves Wife Because
'She Is Too Good

The divorce courts are full Of rec
ords showing that men leave their
wives for hundreds Of reasons. all tend
ing to show that these wives are bad.
worse and very bad, but a Topeka man
has disappeared because he thought
that his wife was too good for him to
live with. When the man-never mind
his name-disappeared, he left note
to his wife saying that they were not
for each other and that she was too
good for him to live with. Relatives
and friends Of the vanished man are
at q loss to know why he left. His
wife is grief stricken and is also at
a loss to know just why her husband
left home.
The man was employed at a well
known business house in Topeka and
according to his employers he was hon.
est in every respect. When he left his
papers were, without an exception, left
where they would be found and ac-
counted for.
Before leaving he told a companion
that he was going to Montana. He
was steadily employed at the place he
was working and was drawing good
salary. His former employers say that
he was the best man they had in their
service.
