that IIylan will walk in no matter how
tho contest turns out and they hope
that " Bennett is beaten In the courts
he will nominate himself by petition
and run anyhow.
Tammany's JOY was somewhat
tempered by the Showing made BY
Thomas T.. Rush in his fight to take
the nomination for the Supreme
Court Justlccship from Francis V, NC
Avoy IN the Democratic primaries.
Mr.. Rush polled about $4,000 votes on
the face OF incomplete returns TO
about 10000 polled for McAvoy. There
is fear In Tammany that Rush may
decide 20 run Independently and thus
Ep'it the vote.

ASSOCIATION CONDEMNS
DELAYS ON D C. DRY BILL
Brookland Citizens Urge Members
of House to Get Vote on Measure
at This Session.

1.-The attempt of certain interests to
defer a vote on the District of Column

ed by c. V. Burnside. urged all men,
bers of Congress favorable to the

brought before the House of Repre-
sentatives for a fair and open vote on
it's merits before the adjournment of
the present session"

WOULD GIVE VITALITY
TO MIGRATORY BIRD PACT
Charles Steward Dawson Points Out
Importance of Encouraging Canada
to Protect Winged Creatures.

That Canada should be encouraged to
out the proposed migratory bird treaty
act, is urged in a letter sent out today
by Charles Stewart Dawson, one of
those interested in the measure. He
says:
Unless we give vitality to the treaty
by adopting the act (requisite to put
the treaty's provisions into effect) Can
ada will not, on her part, put the pro-
visions of the treaty into active opera
ton. The result will be that our mi
gratory. insectivorous birds. while nest
ing and rearing their young north of
our line, will not receive protection.
This directly affects the welfare of
every farmer in this country, and any
injury to our agricultural interests in
jures the whole country. The indis-
eliminate killing of these insect-de-
stroying birds is the underlying rea-
son for the great increase We have had
in the past twenty years in insect
pests-grain, cotton and tree destroy
ing
TT is essential that we encourage
Canada to protect our birds while they
are there else she will not do it, for
up to the present she has not suffered
from the diminution of insect-destroy-
ing birds in anything like the same
ratio that we have owing to her more
sparse settlement. Every economic and
agricultural interest is directly con-
cerned in the prompt passage of the
act, that this end may be accom-
pliShed."

TO SEEK IMPROVEMENTS
AT THE TECH HIGH SCHOOL

Building, Sees Conditions ana
Then Promises Help.

Decision to use every possible means
to obtain adequate facilities for the Nc
Kinley Manual Training School was
reached by the committee on schools of
the Washington Board of Trade follow
ing an inspection of the building yes
terday afternoon. About thirty mem
bers of the committee, headed by Fred
erick A. Fenning, went to the school.
The students of the school, numbering
about 1900, were assembled in the
auditorium, originally designed to ac-
commodate 500. After the committee
had opportunity to see how bad the
situation was, Mr.. Fenning delivered
brief address, pledging the support of
the Board of Trade in obtaining the ad-
ditional facilities desired. He explained
the purpose of the visit and expressed
the belief that through the strenuous
efforts the committee would put forth
he was certain action by Congress
might be obtained at this or the next
session.
The committee found that no gym
nasium was provided, and that the boys
at the school have to double up on
lockers, each boy using only half of a
locker. No locker room is provided, the
committee found. the lockers being dis
tributed through a poorlylighted base
ment corridor.

government supplying the whole amount
for the present.
The farm loan board has advised that
the subscriptions be not pushed by those
assigned to receive them. This policy has
been adhered to, which explains the small
amount subscribed.

FUNDS TO EQUIP HOME
FOR DESTITUTE NEEDED
Central Union Mission Appeals for
$1,000 for Children's Re
lief Society.

One thousand dollars is needed by the
Central Union Mission to furnish and
equip a suitable building for the Chill
dren's Relief Society, which recently
has become an adjunct of that insti-
tuition. Mrs. John S. Bennett, wife of
the superintendent of the mission, is
to be in charge Of the society, which
proposes to provide shelter and a tenn
porary home for destitute children and
their mothers. A suitable buildinA for
this branch of the Central Union Mis-
to furnish it.
1t is stated that many women and
children are deserted, neglected and
left without funds in the District every
year and that Washington needs a
place of shelter for such vases, which
will meet the needs of an emergency
case until wise and permanent dis
position can be made of it. In some
cases it is only necessary to care for
the children during the day in order
to aid the mother, who is obliged to
work.
Mrs. Bennett cited an instance of a
family where a man deserted his wife
and two children. They were left en-
tirely without funds and had no one to
turn to for help. but with just little
aid the mother secured position, and
she is now paying for the care of the
children in a private family. Another
mother with six children had her house
hold goods set on the street the other
day because she could not pay her rent,
it is declared, and neighbor took them
in. They cannot remain with her long,
however, for her means are very lin
tied and she has several children, too
Another family being cared for by the
mission is said to consist of a father,
mother and seven children. The father
has been ill for a long time. and their
needs are many.
