BIRDS AND GIVE
THEM A FREE LUNCH

Orpheus NJ. Schantz, president of the
Illinois Audubon society, has made
plea for the protection of the birds
during the cold winter months when
the ground is covered with snow. AS
the winter progresses the natural food
supply disappears. berries and seeds
become scarce and snow and ice fire.
quently cover the ground and bark Of
trees. Hundreds Of birds perish from
starvation or succumb to the cold
through reduced power of resistance.
Mr.. SchantZ makes a plea for free
lunch for the birds in the following:
With the arrival of cold weather
most of us become more interested in
good things TO eat. Not only do We
think we need more meat, but we like
something not both to drink and to eat,
not only once. but usually three times
day In addition to the regular good
feeding required in cold weather, we
which we tax our eating capacity to
the limit of both comfort and health.
Also We waste q lot of perfectly
good food which We could give to the
birds. II has become popular to know
something about birds and they have
many interested friends who remem-
her that after the cold becomes severe
and the deep SHOWS arrive il is diff
cult for many of the birds to find suffl-

cient food. The Audubon societies and
other bird friends are each year pro-
viding food for all kinds Of winter
birds with veery wonderful results.
There is scarcely back yard where
shrubs and trees have been planted
that is not visited at some time in the
winter by a hungry bird.
The Illinois Audubon society de-
sires to interest ali who have an OPP
portunity to feed the winter visitors
to share their good things with these
interesting and valuable friends. A
piece of suet tied to a tree, seeds and
crumbs scattered in the yard a feed

to q tree will repay many times the
effort in the pleasure you will derive
from the entertainment. Chickadees,

the possible visitors who may call on
you.

COLD WEATHER IS
CAUSE or MISHAP
Henry Roggenkamp, Leading Horse to
Keep Warm, is Kicked and Three
Ribs are Broken.

Henry Roggenkamp, 1906 Eleventh
street, was seriously injured at Fiji
teenth street and Sixth avenue at >
o'clock this morning when he was
kicked by horse which he was lead
ing. Three ribs on his left side were
fractured. He was carried into near
by home, where DR.. Joseph DeSilva
attended him, and later was removed
to his own home. The injury will
confine him for several weeks.
Mr. Roggenkamp, suffering from the
extreme cold, had jumped off his wag-
on and was leading the horse to keep
warm. Whether the animal became
frightened or not was not learned, but
at any rate he kicked his master.
The fractures are serious.

SECOND WEDDING TO
SATISFY FOND MAMA

Edward Smithinger, machinist,
and Miss Ruth Martin, a girl of less
than IS, must marry a second time in
order to please the mother of the girl,
Mrs. Martha Goerner of Davenport.
They agreed to the second ceremony
when brought before Magistrate Louis
Roddewig in police court.
Smithinger was arrested on a war
rant sworn out by the parent, charg-
ing him with living illegally with the
girl. When brought into police court
the girl appeared on behalf of her
husband. Smithinger produced mar
riage certificate showing that they
had married in Burlington.
But they made untruthful asser-
TONS the mother interpOsed, and de-
clared that the girl had said she was
of age when she was not. She said
her daughter was not Is years old at
the time of the marriage.
1t appeared when the statements of
the three were placed together and
woven into story that Smithinger,
arrived here several months ago
and started boarding at the home of
Mrs. Goerner A mutual infatuation
arose between Smithinger and the
! daughter and fearing the objections
of the mother they eloped to Burling-
, ton and were secretly married
/ They returned to Davenport and
/ started living together as husband and
wife The mother claimed TIT they
/ had eluded her in their marriage and
/ that she had not given her consent.

legal, although the young people pro
duced the license and certificate

The court agreed with the woman,
declaring that as long as they had in
dictated that the marriage was per-
formed under the impression that the
girl had the mothers consent or that
she was of age they should make plans
to go to local justice Of the peace and
have the knot securely tied

GEORGIA CONTESTS
SETTLED BY BODY
National Committee Acts at Chicago
in Regard to Claims of Rival
Delegates.
JOHNSON WING MEN LOSE OUT

Chicago, June sixteen prospee-
tive votes Tor Justice Charles T.
Hughes in the republican convention
went by the board yesterday when the
national committee voted to seat the
Henry $. Jackson delegation OF Geor-
gia. The action was taken alter a
lively contest which lasted more than
six hours and in which it was neces-
sary TO determine the personnel OF
the Georgia state senate committee,
The delegation representing the
Walter n. Johnson wing OF the
party in Georgia fought stubborn
battle. Each delegation came to Chi
cago uninstructed, but II has been gen
orally understood that the Johnson
delegation was prepared TO support
Justice Hughes while the Jackson
delegates were friendly to the candl-
daey OF Senator Root with John w.
Weeks of Massachusetts, as second
choice.
Disposes of Seven Protests.
Previous to the consideration Of the
Georgia case the committee disposed
of seven protests in Alabama, six reg
ular delegates-at-large being seated
while protesting delegate from the
Ninth congressional district was re-
turned a winner. The session of the
committee lasted from 1890 a. m. UNI
til $3.50 D. m. without a recess, the
last six hours being occupied with
the Georgia case which involved the
entire delegation from that state.
The question involved in the contest
was one Of control of the state organ
ization. The Johnson and Jackson
factions were together four years ago
and formed the Taft delegation which
was seated after a contest When the
state central committee met this year
to issue a call for a state convention
there came a sharp disagreement over
the place OF holding the convention
and the delegation was divided, each
holding a meeting and issuing call
for a convention Both state conven-
tions were held and each, it was
claimed, was called by majority of
the state central committee.
Many Affidavits Presented.
In the hearing of the contest today
scores of affidavits were presented.
many OF them contradictory. After
two hours Of argument Senator Smoot
declared that issue could be settled
only by determining which side really
had with il majority of the state or
ganization.
Delegates representing the faction
of National Committeeman Henry s.
Jackson had affidavits to prove con-
troll and his delegates were seated
with only few dissenting votes.
The determination of the committee
to dispose OF the remainder Of the
sixty-two contests early was made
manifest when at the conclusion OF
the long session II was voted to start
tomorrow's session at o'clock and
to continue without recess as was
done today.

twelve delegates will be the first taken
