LARGER BIRDS PREY
ON ENGLISH SPARROW
DECREASING NUMBER

That the English sparrow is decreas-
ing in numbers in Indiana is the opin-
ion Of Walter Ratliff. who represents
the inland division of the United
States biological survey for eastern
Indiana. Mr. Ratliff made this state
ment in his last report to Amos w.
Butler, who is the Indiana representa-
tive Of the biological survey.
"Sparrows are the prey of carnivo-
rous BIRDS" Mr. Ratliff said. while
they exist they will be a protection to
song birds. because the birds which
prey on them will not touch the other
birds when they can get sparrows.
Sparrows will be regarded as valuable
birds for this reason when they are
reasonably exterminated. and for the
reason that they are insect destroyers
of great worth"
That the passenger pigeon, which is
believed to be extinct since the death
of the last one in captivity took place
in the Cincinnati geological garden
last year, still exists, is another firm
belief of Mr. Ratliff
I'm 1906 and 1907 saw quite a
flock of passenger pigeons in this coun-
ty. and again in 1910 saw Them" he
said. "Since then I have seen none.
am always watching for them. A
pair of passenger pigeons captured un-
injured would be of untold value.
have an excellent specime nstuffed at
my home
Mr.. Ratliff observed 126 species OF
North American birds in Wayne coun-
ty in a year, and he secured many
new specimens for his collection.

HATFORMS ONLY
CLUE TO MURDER

EVANSVILLE, Ind. May l.
With an old black derby hat as their
only clew, the police today continued
their attempts to solve the mystery
the death Of Joseph
Beetles. proprietor of line of transfer
wagons, whose body was found in an
alley with a bullet in the head.
Although Beetles is said to have sus-
tanned financial reverses recently. the
suicide theory is secuted by the police,
who point out that Beetles was left
handed while the bullet entered his
head from the right side. The alb
sence of powder burns also lends color
to the murder theory and there were
indications Of a struggle near the
scene of the tragedy. Beetles clothes
were badly torn and disarranged and
his empty pocketbook and false teeth
lay on the ground nearby
