Plume Hunters.

Florida once upon a time was alive

Times Union. According to William
II. Honaday, author of American Ma
tural History. no other state in Amer
lea, except possibly California, W
possessed a bird fauna quite compar-
able with Florida. Florida bird life
a one Of the wonders Of America.
But the gunners began to shoot and
shoot.
The plume hunters have practically
exterminated the rOseate spoonful, the
finmingo, the scarlet ibis, and the
Carolina parrakeet, and the limpkin
and ivory-bille6 woodpecker have
about disappeared, largely in the in
terest of the millinery business to orna-
ment fashionable hats. The robin and
other cong and MISUNDERSTANDING birds
are fast going. Unless Il stand is
taken by we'll enforced laws the wild
bird life Of the state will eventually
disappear and the multiplicity Of in

Because Taking Over Occurred
After Armistice.
SEIZURE MAY BE ILLEGAL
II Is Alleged That Act Was Done to
Bring About Government Own
ershlp.

New York, Dec. 5-The Commercial
Cable company petitioned the courts
yesterday to order Postmaster Gener-
al Burleson to take his hands off the
company's property and keep them
off. A suit in equity was begun in The
United States District Court with the
filing of bill of complaint. The com
pany asks that the Postmaster Gener-
al be enjoined from further interfer-
ence in the affairs Of he company. Its
submarine cables and land equipment
were seized by the government with
those Of other cable companies by a
proclamation of President Wilson
dated November 2.
The seizure is alleged to have been
illegal on the grounds that 1t was an
exercise of war powers that expired
with the signing of The armistice and
a violation of the constitutional pro-
vision against the taking OF private
property without due process of law
and just compensation Ii is further
alleged that the seizure was made to
bring about government ownership.
1t is charged that the Postmaster
General, as one who has committed
himself to government ownership of
telegraphs and cables, is not an un-
biased official to whom should be en-
trusted the operation OF the company
and its compensation for the period OF
government control
The complaint was signed by
Charles Il Hughes and William W.
Cook as counsel for the company. Il
was sworn to by Clarence II. Mackay.
