ONE BILLION FOR
 BUILDING ROADS
Federal Government Will Aid States if
 Bourne Bill Is Passed.

Washington, June 22.-One billion dollars, to be raised by the sale of state beads, to be guaranteed by the federal government will be spent for good roads if bill which will be fla vorably reported to the senate by the postoffice and post roads committee this week is passed.
 Casting aside the Shackleford bill. which has already passed the house of representatives, the senate post roads committee. it was learned tonight, has practically agreed to report out a measure along the lines proposed by former Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon.
 Despite the scoffing at it's financial methods, the plan has won the approv al of Senator John w. Weeks of Mas sachusetts, formerly member of the big bond selling brokerage house of Hornblower X Weeks, and of many other senators on the post roads com mittee, among whom is Senator Bryan of Flo ida, a prominent member of the senate committee on appropria- tions.
 Decision to approve this bill was reached through the constant objec- tions to the Shackleford bill, that it was not fair to the states which have already spent millions to improve their roads and which do not need any federal aid in building good roads. Senators from these states, particul- arly Senator Maritime of New Jersey, which sta'e has spent millions in con- structing wonderful system of high ways, urged that their states should not be taxed to build good roads in other communities.
 Reject ShackIeford Bill.
 The Shackleford bill appropriated $25,OOO, ,o0O out of the national treas ury for the building of roads. AS a compromise, senators on the post roads committee offered to cut the amount to $5.OOO,0O0 and report the bill favorably. Flushed with their victory in the house, advocates of the Shackleford bill refused to accept such a compromise, only to be assur- ed now that the Shackleford bill will remain buried in committee certainly for this session. and probably forever In commenting on the bill which this committee expects to report this week, Senator Maritime of New Jersey said that no state which did not wish to avail itself of the governments credit in improving it's road, would be forced to come in, in which case its only contribution to the national cause would be that it would share in the guarantee of the bonds.

Vindication Near For The
English Sparrow

Shortly after the English sparrow
had begun to make himself at home
in the United States. and this was not
so very long ago, a slanderous rumor,
to the effect that he was an enemy of
all native'birds and would ultimately
destroy them, gained currency. With
other unfounded but worrisome rum
ors scarce at the time, this one spread
with great rapidity- and war Of eX-
termination was declared against the
stranger. Many thousands, perhaps
millions, of these little birds were de-
stro-ed before the American public
began to realize that, despite the
multitudes Of sparrows swarming in
the United Kingdom in no part Of Eu-
rope were birds of other species more
numerous than in the British isles
About the same time The discovery
was made that tn English sparrow
was far less aggressive and militant
than the American robin and bluejay
and that the former was oftener oc-
cupied in defending himself than in
a.tacKing the native birds. With this
realization and this discovery the orig
inal hue and cry against the English
sparrow soon waned and ceased.
But the slanderer of the bird was
not silenced. Another mischievous
rumor was soon set afloat, this time
TO the effect that the English sparrow
was an enemy to the American farmer,
that he was already robbing the fields
and that, if permitted to multiply, he
would eventually destroy crops and
perhaps ruin the country. Before the
bird had opportunity to defend him
self he was outlawed by legislation in
several OF the states. Michigan was
one Of these. Here he was not only
condemned without a hearing, but a
price was put on his head. Anybody
bringing into the office Of a county
clerk Of that state in December, jan
uary or February, satisfactory evil
dence TO support his claim that he had
put an end to one OF these foes to
agriculture would be entitled to a spot
cash reward of cents.
