War On English Sparrow.

| The League of American Sportsmen
has started a campaign against the
English Sparrow. The interview prin-
! ted in the New York Times of Sept.
25th by the League has brought to
them hundreds of letters from all parts
of the country, heartily favoripg the
| proposition to declare war on the
English Sparrow, and only three pro-
tests against it. Many of the CORE
spondents beg the League to start the
| war at once and to wage it to finish.
They say they have suffered so much
from the filth, the pugnacity and the
discordant noises of these pests, that
they are longing night and day for re-
lief.
The principal method of carrying on
the war, during the coming winter,
will be by trapping, and, under proper
police authority, shooting.
There are several successful traps on
the market, and cuts and descriptions
of these may be had by addressing the
Chief of the Biological Survey, Wash
ington, D. c., and asking for Farmers
| Bulletin No 493.
Each person desiring to do his part
in this war should secure one of these
traps and put it out as soon as the first
snow falls. There should be many
thousands of them in operation through
nut the entire winter and if we can
get enough people to take up the fight
| in this way it will mean the destruction
of millions of sparrows before the first
of April.
We have in the N. Y. Geological Park
a sparrow tray from which one of our
animal keepers has taken 1000 to l,7OO
sparrows year for the past five years,
and the good work still goes on. Cuts
and further information about this trap
| will be published later.
Sparrows feed in close f1ocks, and
when thus assembled in favorabls places
large number may be killed by a
charge of No. 10 or IL shot. One man
killed 80 at one shot and another 262 at
| one discharge of a double gun.
The best way is to scatter grain over
long, narrow areas and shoot the spar
rows at these batting places. Where
sparrows infest poultry yards, the bait
may be placed on horizontal board,
| supported at such an elevation that the
BIRDS can be shot without danger to the
poultry.
| Sparrows are very suspicious and soon
quit place where a number of their
mates have been killed; bat if the food
is kept in place, and new supply put
out occasionally. they will gradually
come back, and then onother big killing
may be made.
Good results may be obtained by
shooting them when they congregate to
roost after nightfail, with gun that
spreads the shot widely.

MAY WITHDRAW TROOPS
Mexican-American Commission Re-
ported Near Agreement.
~

Atlantic City, N. j., Nov. ID
After the conference yesterday OF
the Mexican-American Joint Com
mission, it was intimated that an
agreement providing for the with
drawal of the American punitive eX-
petition might be reached before the
close of the week.
Luis Cabrera, chairman OF the
Mexican commission displayed at
the close of the forenoon session the
greatest optimism he has yet shown
when he said he believed Il settle
ment would be reached within a few
days.
In the event of an agreement be-
ing formed for the withdrawal OF the
American troops, it probably will not
stipulate that they be brought out
of Mexico Immediately, but that
they be recalled within reasonable
time, perhaps within go or 80 days.
It is believed that the withdrawal
at any time will be made subject to
conditions at that time.
That General Carranza is sincere
in his efforts to drive Villa and his
followers from the field is not doubt
ed by the American Commissioners,
although they have been keenly in
terested in what apparently was the
inability Of the present Northern
Mexican army to accomplish that OBJ
iect. The news that reached the Com
missioners that General Murgia,
who has been in command @.of. the
forces at Torreon, has been selected
to succeed Gen. Jacints Trevino, in
charge Of operations in the north,
was received by the Americans as
further evidence of the determine
ton of General Carranza to force
.,the3 sampaigh against his northern
enemies: -,

HoRR1FYING DISCOVERY 81:
Finds Torso of Body ,Wedged in sE,s 4
tween Wheel and Springs of Auto

New Haven, Conn, Nov. {s --
Charles H. Whitney, a Yale student
driving his car on Milford Turn
pike, in the town of Orange, west
of New Haven, at 1 o'clock Satur-
day morning, with two other students
found his steering gear acting badly.
He stopped to Investigate, and was
Mortified to find the torso Of a man
wedged in between one of the front
wheels and the springs.
About q third Of a mile back he
says he had turned out quickly to
avoid a big auto truck owned by the
Winchester Arms Company, bound
in the same direction toward New
Haven.
He went back to investigate, and
near the spot where he had turned
out he found the legs which evident
ly belonged to the same body.
Whitney says ne was unaware
that he had hit any one. 1t is thought
possible that the man was struck by
the truck and mangled about the
time Whitney passed it, and the
fragments of his body fouled his
machine. He does not think his car
| which was much lighter than the
truck, would have so nangled the
body.
The victim was apparently labor,
ing man about forty-fye years old
The body has not been identified.
Whitney reported what had hap
pened to the West Haven police sta
ton, where he was held without bal
pending an investigation by Coroner
Mix.
Whitney lives in Wall Street, New
Haven. His home is in Chicago.
