KILLING OF BIRDS
Audubon Society Will Prosecute De-
stroyers of Bird Life.

Lexington, Ky.-The Audubon socie-
ty of Lexington is up in arms over the
wanton and illegal destruction of song
birds in the city and county. The
society has been informed that boys
in Central avenue in Woodland are
killing cardinals or redbirds, and that
man on High street is in the habit
of killing robins not only for his own
use as food, but to sell to others for
this purpose. The society will appeal
to the chief of police to cause the
arrest of all persons violating the laws
for the protection of birds, and the
teachers in the public schools will be
requested-to inform their pupils of the
provision of such laws and the severe
penalties for their violation. If these
measures should prove Intellectual the
society will itself prosecute the Of
tenders. 1t is believed that the cases
grew out of ignorance of the Kentucky
law which protects all wild birds, ex-
cept six, namely, the English sparrows
