SEN. MILAN SPEAKS
 IN DEFENSE OF BIRDS
Secures Large Appropriation Fo
 Their Protection.
Especial to the Herald,

Washington, ID. C., May 13.- Sem ator Mclean of Connecticut led the upholders of the Mclean federal bird law to victory in the senate yester- day afternoon, while the law was un- der fire. There was d provision Tn the agricultural appropriation bill, us passed by the house, appropriating $50,000 for the enforcement of the law giving nationwide protection to game and insectivorous birds. The senate committee on agriculture cut the appropriation to $1O,000 and the upholders of the law, led by Senator Mclean, made a fight for the $50,009 appropriation.
 The fight really began last Satur- day, when the provision was first taken up by the senate. Senator Me- Lean made strong defense of the law at that time, arguing that it had proved it's worth and that the birds. as the natural enemies of the pests that spoil crops all over the country, would, if protected, save several mill lions worth of crops
 The fight was renewed yesterday. Early in the day, however, it became evident that Senator Mclean and his supporters were in entire command of the situation and that the senate was in favor of the larger appropria- tion.
 The first test came when Senator Thompson of Kansas asked permis- sion to read some telegrams in favor of the larger appropriation. Senator Reed of Missouri, one of the oppo- nents of the law, was prompt to ob- Ject. He argued that the law was not constitutional and that he had tried to get the attorney-general to make test case to try out the con- stitutionality of the enactment and had failed.
 After some discussion, however, the senate voted to allow Senator Thomp- son to read the telegrams. Soon after a vote came on the adoption of the smaller appropriation and the sem ate by vote Of IT to 45, declared in favor of the $50,000 appropriation.
 Senator Gore then moved to cut the appropriation to $20,000. Sem ator Reed immediately renewed his opposition and kept up his vain fight for several hours.
 Senator Mclean urged the adoption of the larger appropriation because of the international aspects which the question was taking. He said that treaty was being prepared designed to give Pan-American protection to mi- gratory and insectiverous birds. With such a treaty in force, Senator Me- Lean argued, the right of the federal government to give nationwide pro- lection to birds would not be dis puted, as the treaty would have the same effect as federal law. To keep the faith of this government, Senator Mclean urged, the appropriation for the enforcement of the law should be sufficiently large to insure its proper enforcement.

 Many old buildings, which it had been found necessary to use as head quarters for troops, have been made bright and habitable by electric lights, shower baths and other conveniences installed by the soldiers themselves. One of the greatest needs is an ice plant. Everyone here is sWeltering in the first few days of the tropical summer and there is not enough ice to supply one-third the demand.

The light and power station had been put out of commission by the retreating federals, and the trolley line, which carries passengers at fares of two cents, American money, stopped.
