FRENCH CONFER MEDAL
ON NEW YORK ZOO HEAD
w. 7. Hornaday Honored for Serv-
ice in Protection of Wild
Life.

PARIS. March 2S.-Myron T. Herrick.
the United States ambassador to France,
today received deputaton of members
of the French Acclimatizaton Society
and of the French Natural History Asso-
medal conferred on William T. Horna-
day. director of the New York Geological

able to be present as he was detained by
his work at Yale University.

medal at a meeting Thursday at which
President Poincare and many notable
members of the government were pres
ent on the occasion of the presentation
to the Spanish ambassador to France of
a medal from the King of Spain for his
work in the protection of animals The
French government. however. intimated
that it would be unWise to make a public
presentation to Mr.. Hornaday. because it
might offend the people engaged in the
French feather trade. and this was
thought undesirable just before the gem
eral parliamentary elections.

Edmond Pommier, who headed the
deputation. addressed the ambassador,
eulogizing the work of Mr.. Hornaday.
The ambassador in reply said it SEEM

the medal upon one of the foremost
champions of distressed wild life had
given answer to the insstent de-
maniS of ia ShiOn- and added. 1.-The

NOTED BOTANlST VICTIM
OF SUPERSTITIOUs FEAR
Murdered by Malays in Island of
Amboina After He Unwittingly
Frightened Child.

Confession has been made by the guilty
natives of the murder in December of
DR.. c. B. Robinson. American botanist
IN the island of Amboina of the Molucca
group of the Dutch East Indies group
DR.. Robinson was neither murdered for
his vaiuables nor out of spite, for the
natives of that island, though Malays,
are generally peaceful. but he was. it is
now brought out. the victim of super
stition and unfortunate coincidence.
from E. B. Merrill. head botanist of the
Philippine Islands at Manila. to Fred
ericll V. Coville of the Department of
Agriculture. which states:
Warned Not to Go Alone.
DIR. Robinson was killed by six ma
tives of the island of Boeton. who had
formed a small settlement near the south
ern point of Ambona. His murder
seems to have been actuated by super
stititous fear. He had been asked by
the Dutch resident not to go out alone.
but only through fear that he might in
jure himself in some remote spot and not
that he might meet with injury from the
hands of the natives.
December - one of. the natives con-
fessed that DR.. Robinson had entered
his village December > and that child,
seeing him, became frightened and ran
home crying that a bad European had
tried to kill him. There being a prev
aleEt superstition among these people
that during November and December bad
men come to the .sland to kill and carry
away children, the head man. after the
botanists departure, stated that they had
better kill him. He accordingly took his
ak. trailed him. and struck him down
from behind. That night the body was
tied up in cocoanut leaves, weighted
with stones and taken far out to sea

Explanation Satisfactory.

When the find was reported some OF
the residents of the vicinity of the gov
eminent proving ground scented "a mys-
terry. but George Wheeler came forward
with an explanation of the affair that
was fully satisfactory
II was stated that about fifteen years
ago the body of an unidentified man
washed ashore and an inquest was held.
Wheeler serving as juror. Wheeler re-
called that the body was buried near
the shore without being placed III
coffin or box of any kind. During the
fifteen wears since the interment the
high tides carried away much OF the
shore. and when persons investigating
the finding of the skeleton Were piloted
to the spot where the body was buried
years ago they were able to see enough
of an excavation to convince them that
it was part of what was the resting
Mace of the body.
