IF certain crows who have their
nesting places in the vicinity Of the
thickly settled portions of the city
have any desire to live to a good old
age. as crow life is measured" said
a young man, yesterday, they had
better steer clear of our premises,
for I have a good gun and l in
tend to slaughter the first crow that
comes within range" He then went
on to tell that how up in a maple tree
in the front yard was a robins nest,
where up to Friday morning every
thing was az happy as birds are sup
posed to be after they have become
we'll established in housekeeping. On
Friday morning. however, trouble
came to the Robin family, and an
investigation showed that about ali
the robins in the neighborhood had
assembled about that maple tree and
were making excited dives among its
branches. shrieking the while at the
top of their lungs. The cause of
the uproar proved to be a crow.
which had found the location Of the
nest, and after driving the mother
bird from 1t. had calmly perched on
the crotch Of the tree where the
nest was located. and proceeded to
pick the four eggs from the nest one
by one and devour them The young
man who told the story said that he
went upstair after his gun, but as it
was packed in a case and it took
some time to put it together and slip
in a couple Of shells. but before he
reached the front door near which
the tree is located. the crow had
moved in search Of other nests to

UNIFICATION OF
KOREANS AND JAP
ANESE IMPOSSIBLE

Seoul. Korea, April 4.-(Correspond-
ence )-Cnihcation Of the japanese ana
Korean races is impossible. serts the
creanizing committee Of the inderend-
ence movement in Korea in a statement
which it has issued setting forth the
grievances Of the Korean people against
the Japanese.
The two chief reasons for Korea's ef-
fort to obtain emancipation from Japan
csc rule are set forth by the committee
as follows:
korea is the much older OF the two
nations for it has a history Of organized
government extending over period of
1900 years. During a part Of that time
Korea set tribute to the court of China,
but this was nothing more than an out
ward expression Of the relation between
the Imperial families OF the two ma
tons. Korea was ever the sole posses
sion Of our Korean race and was never
under the actual control Of any foreign
nation or government.
Tho japanese nation is an entirely
distinct race from the Korean. She is
an island people and her nakedness of
body and mind could only be covered by
the civilization she received from Korea
and from China during the centuries of
the past. Her customs. her literature,
her very clothing came to her through
Korea OF late years she has added to
these the face-powder of Western
civilization: thus she becomes the
whi.ed sepulchre Of the East. She gives
no evidence Of moral force. her actions
toward our nation has proven her to be
the embodiment of cruelty. The evil
dence is complete that the rnificat,on of
the Japanese and Korean races is an
impossibility"
What are described as five consricu-
Gus injustices on the part Of Japan to-
ward Korea" are summarized in the
statement. The committee asserts that
although Korea aided Japan in the war
against Russia, the dog has bitten the
band Of hin who fed it, 1t is alleged
that Japan has broken her promise to
pay honor to the formerly Imperial
family Of Korea; that it is impossible
for Korean to obtain fair treatment
in the courts when opposed to the Jap
anese; that liberty OF speech does not
exist and that the Japanese arrested g
men who signed the manifesto of indie
pendence on March l last.

SALVATION ARMY
HOLDS NO FORMAL MEETING

There was no formal meeting last
evening in Market square by the
Salvation Army. At s o'clock Com
mander MCGEE stepped on the plat
form and deeming the weather too
cold to properly conduct a meeting
explained the matter to the people.
He also gave a short report OF the
progress and prospects Of the drive
for the rest Of the week. Rev. W. j.
Layton Of the Green street Metho-
dist church was present to speak.
A meeting will be held this evening
at the same hour in Market square
when Rev. A. Francis Walch OF the
Uniyersalist church will speak,
touching particularly on the mes
sage sent the Salvation Army of the
United States from Lloyd George.
The following regarding the cam
paign was obtained from Command
er MCGEE:
The fight is on. The Governor has
given his approval and his endorse
ment and promised to subscribe. Sen
ator Guy P. Gannett has shown his
interest," III ~ VEL "AoIShSelA w s'sA- Z.
He has written a fine letter OF en-
dorsement and subscribed in his US
ual generous fashion. Mayor Bur-
leigh Martin has endorsed the cam
paign and promised to preside at
some OF the public demonstrations.
The clergy Of all denominations have
taken a very deep interest and have
made splendid announcements from
their pulpits and will do anything
possible to further the enterprise.
The chairman Of the committee.
the Rev. Victor o. Anderson. is
working night and day and is aglow
with enthusiasm as to the prospects
Of great victory. The treasurer, the
Hon. Charles S. Hichborn. is man
Of great experience and strength, a
tried and true friend and liberal sup
porter Of the Salvation Army. He
has placed much Of his valuable time
and his great talents at the disposal
! Of the campaign which is very
much appreciated by everybody.
And what shall we say Of such
men as Blaine S. Viles and L. A.
Burleigh and Percy v. Hill and NJ.
S. Holway and a host OF others.
Then think of the wholehearted CO.
operation of such ladies as Mrs. c.
S. Hichborn. Miss Muriel Haynes.
Miss Mary \. Edwards. Mrs. NJ n.
Childs. Miss Margaret Mason. Mrs.
D. Robinson and many others. The
churches are interested. The schools
are active. The industrial institutions
are busy. The Rotary Club is with
them. The societies Of all kinds are
doing a part and it is safe to say
that every man, woman and child
would like to boost the campaign if
they could.

KEYMEN'S UNION HEAD
ACCUSED BY BURLESON
Konenkamp Sought to Stir Dissat-
isfaction, Says Postmaster
General.

Widespread dissemination of propa-
ganda to create dissatisfaction with
the increased wage scale for telegraph
employees granted by the Post Office
Department was charged yesterday by
Postmaster General Burleson. who
made public letters which he said had
been sent to subordinate officers by
J. J. Konenkamp, international presi-
dent of the Commercial Photographers
Union. Mr.. Burleson said the agita-
ton was started before the wage in
crease was decided upon. Meetings
in many cities were said to have been
arranged for today as part of the
program.
THE interests Of the users of the
telegraph. as well as those of the
employees had to be considered" Mr..
Burleson said IL commenting on the
wage increase which was less than
demanded. "a further increase would
necessitate much higher charge
upon the users of the telegraph, whose
right to service at reasonable cost
cannot be ignored"
