PHILADELPHIA, April 81. BAN
ditry in the streets Of Philadelphia

kidnapped a young woman and robbed
her OF jewelry said to be worth 5000.

chine. while her companions were
ordered to drive away under threats
Of death. Two Of them reported tho
case to the police. They gave their
names as H. r. Lindon and p. J..
Drallion. with addresses in Atlantic
City.
Miss Mabel Hill, the captive. was

Phoebe: Sayornis phoebe.
Length inches.
Upper parts olive-brown; crown.
wings and tail darker.
Under parts white. slightly washed
with yellowish; a touch of white on
outer tail feathers.
Resident from March 5 to October;
winter from North Carolina to Cuba
and Mexico.
One of the earliest bird notes subur-
ban people her in spring is this fly
catcher's pleasant call of phoebe. He
is often called pewee. but incorrectly,
as the latter name belongs strictly to
hts relative, the wood pewee. The two
birds are much alike, but the pewee
has white wing bars. An easy and sure
way of distinguishing between them
is.the phoebe's habit of moving his tail
when perching; this the pewee never
does.
Phoebes build about porches and in
barns and sheds. generally on a beam.
also about bridges, and sometimes un-
der a shelving bank or rock, as their
ancestors did when their was no other
shelter. The nest is of mud, lined with
fine grasses and horse hair. and is
usually. covered outside with bits of

ISLAND OF PINES
To Be GIVEN
To CUBA
U. S. to Disregard Protests OF
American Residents Against
Proposed Treaty.
D Internatlonal Nsws serllee.

The Administration favors Civ
ing Cuba sovereignty over the Isle
Of Pines, and will not swerve from
that attitude because Of protests
of American residents Of the
island, it was stated officially
today.
Status Not Settled.
The exact status Of the island
has never been definitely settled
but high officials declared there can
be little doubt az to the rights Of
Cuba in the matter.
The treaty Of 1908 with Cuba left
the question open for future settle
ment, Another treaty. negotiated
in 1904, gave the island to Cuba
That treaty. however, ID still pend
ing before the Senate.
American residents OF the Isle o.
Pines are conducting q vigorous
campaign against the treaty. While
Administration officials admire the
patriotism Of these enthusiasts, they
point out that the United States
Supreme Court has ruled that titls
did not pass to the American Gov
eminent under the treaty with
Spain; that the island is adjacent
to Cuba, and that II has been under
Cuban jurisdiction ever since the
island republic gained it's indie
pendence.
No Cause for Complaint.
Nor does the Administration take
stock In suggestions that the A1neri.
can business interests in the isle
Of Pines would suffer under Cuban
sovereignty. 1t IL pointed out that
in Cuba proper Americans have
far greater interests and that there
has been no cause for complaint on
that score.
