DEGREES EAGLE SLAUGHTER
T. Gilbert Pearson, Head Of Audubonl
Societies, Would Repeal
Alaskan Bounty.

New York.-Protest against the
wholesale slaughter In Alaska OF the
bald eagle, symbol of American indie
pendence, was voiced here by L. Gill;
bert Pearson, president Of the Nationar
Associations Of Audubon Societies. He
said that according to the last authen-
tic information he had from Alaska,
the territory had paid bounties on
over $4,000 eagles.
"When l first discovered this law"
said Mr.. Pearson, ~ at once began a.
campaign to try to get the bounty law
repealed. 1t is my contention that the
killing of these birds should be-
stopped until the eagle can have itsl
day In court. The late Governor Riggs,
1 am Informed, expressed himself as
feeling that the time had perhaps
come when the bounty might Be taken
off the eagle, but so far as l. ann
aware nothing has as yet been done

in the morning the mans heart was
sounded and tested, after which chloro-
form and ether were administered.
The operation took only half a min
ute, but on being turned over on his
back again he ceased to breathe. al
though the heart was beating well.
Artificial respiration was tried. and
at s 80 o'clock tracing Of the beats
was taken. At 1880 the heart ceased
to beat.
At the post-mortem examination 1t
was found that death was caused by a
tunor on the right side of the brain
and that this would have nothing to
do with respiration ceasing while the
heart remained beating.
An eminent specialist, has given as
his opinion that 30 long az his heart
beats a man is not dead, and says that
In sleeping sickness (from which the
dustman was suffering). as In all brain
disturbances, breathing may cease,
though the heart continues to beat. a

BASEBALL PRICES HURT

There is something else the
matter with our national game
besides the lively hitting. The
falling off in attendance is due
to another cause than the re-
silent pill;
It's the price charged to see
the games. Fans have begun
to figure in pennies again in
stead of dollars, since the war
furry has passed.
They are Of the opinion that
no ball game is worth two hours
Of their time. and $1.10 Of Their
money. T.
The prewar price of Is cents
would make a noticeable differ
ence In the turnstile records.
This difference of 35 cents In
the scale of seat prices isn't
much, but 1t is enough to send
hundreds Of baseball fans to
seek other forms of entertain
ment.
