BIRD COMMITTED SUICIDE,
Boston Woman Says Sparrow's Act
Was Plainly Deliberate.

BOSTON. MAY Il. - This is not
the dream OF n rabbit tiend, - Mrs.
Mary T.. Prescott of Fields Corner said.
- 1t is an actual fact -
Mrs. Prescott, who conducts a pc
riodical store at Fields Corner, Dor
chester. said she was standing in her
doorway when small sparrow flew
from the top Of the building and
perched on the street car tracks. The
yellow bealled hpd settled down and
acted in such a manner that it con
WINGED Mrs. Prescott and several
friends with her that the bird was
possessed with evil intentions.
Why doesn t it fly away? 1t will
be run over, another woman said.
An electric car came along and the
tail feathers Of the bird were clipped.
The bird stood up, twitted, turned
about lightly and gazcd up and down
the track. The witnesses were con
WINGED the bird knew another car was
coming along, either because OF the
rumbling or else by sight, and were
surprised to see his birdship squat
right down on the track with his head
buried in his wing.
The two women left their positions
and started to rescue the bird. but
were prevented by man

of them said. The car passed. and the
bird was no more. The matter be.

at Fields Corner, and the question re.
peatedly asked was: Can a bird com

"tra9edy' claim it can.

Old Inventor, in Bed, Present" At Machine Company Banquet

The Hotel Bond was the scene Sat urday evening of one of the happiest events in the history of the New Britain Machine company club.
 The honorary members of officers of the Machine company, were hosts, and they went the limit to make the occasion one to be long remembered.
 Covers were set for ninety-six Those unable to be present were +. G. P1att, president of the company; M c. Swift, vice-president; Christo- pher M. Spencer, inventor; H. H. Tut tie and Percy Hulme. Those who could be reached were greeted by phone.
 The unique feature of the even ing was the manner in which greet 1ngs were received from and extended to MT. Spencer, who is confined to his bed with a broken hip. Through the kindness of J. H. Hubert, man. ager of the telephone company, phone was placed at MT. Spencers bedside and by the installation i'll the banquet hall of a special magnifying receiver, used for the first time i'll Hartford, the diners in all parts of the room were enabled to hear Mir. Spencer's words as distinctly as though he were among them. MT. spencer was able to hear equally well the rousing cheer followed by Hes Jolly Good FeIlow-which Nobody Can Deny'-with which the boys greeted him.
 Mr ie T up to the time of his accident was employed daily at the New Britain Machine company. He has been identi- feG for years with manufacturing tn- terests in and aroGn l Hartford He is an inventor and designer of note and, prior to his connection with The New Britain Machine company, was nth the Univer; Il Machine Screw cCn}Iany of Hartf T.

their constituents by having an army post placed here and a navy yard there. Of course they are rewarded when seeking reelection by obtain ing a few additional votes, but the price to the entire country is 100 great for the benefits derived.
 Three Methods for Peace.
 Tn my opinion, there are three methods by which we can gain ever lasting peace First, there is the Monroe Doctrine. This should be broadened into Pan-Americanism and not just between this country and our sister republics to the south. Let us band together and follow the pre- cepts of this doctrine.
 Keep Treaties Sacred.
 ''Secondly, let us keep our treaties with various countries to the letter. The treaty which China fills it's duty ill every respect except the matter of immigration. When it came to a showdown, the supreme court in Washington deciding on the immi grafton, considered the treaty with China, nothing but a scrap of paper
 International Trade.
 ''Thirdly, international trade. Be- meath this lies the cause of prac- tically all the wars in history. If we are to do away with this cause, let us take the question of tariff from being a political issue, study it care fully from all angles and make it per manent in some form, from which we will derive the greatest benefit. Consider the case of Belgium. Years ago an explorer from that country journeyed to the Congo and suc- ceeded in obtaining possession of the supply of rubber. It proved to be a great asset to Belgium but when the war broke. Germany with great force seized the Congo possessions of Belgium. Therefore, King Albert is striving for the unjust as we'll as the just. You cannot beat the Devil at his own game. Peace can be secured only by treating every nation with justice. We fear war with other world countries and the reason for that is we do not treat them right Other nations would not assume the appearance of foes if we did not give them cause. It is better to be weak than wrong. Therefore, let us not become so powerful that we can force our way whether right or wrong. There is no disgrace in being weak, but there is disgrace in being wrong. Let us strive to be always in the right and then no disgrace will fall upon our beloved nation"
