FANNIE F. WEIGH.
Protests Slaughter of Crows, DecIar.
ing Birds Aid to Farmers

ing Birds Aid to Farmers
To the Editor of the News:
Sir-I feel sure that ninety per
cent of the men, women and children
who saw the picture in your paper of
Walter H. Kessler of Hanover Heights
and his pile of murdered crows had a
feeling of disgust and shame that the
state Of New Jersey and its enlighten-
ed citizens should stand for this sort
Of bird slaughter.
Years ago game hogs" had their
pictures printed with strings of dead
birds hanging around them. Public
opinion has put stop to all that and
many Of them have been made to re-
gret it and it will be the same with
crow hunters.
Crows may pull up some corn for
two weeks in the spring, but for the
other fifty weeks they are working for
the farmers benefit by catching field
mice, worms, bugs and beetles that
destroy our crops and forests.
Last winter while a Sussex county
farmer was putting out bushels of
grain to help these handsome, hardy,
self-reliant crows to live through the
stormy winter, Mr.. Kessler, with the
cunning Of a savage, was shooting |
these half-starved birds from ambush |
rs they tried to find something to eat. |
1 leave it to your readers to say
which mans work they respect most.

A LADY CHAMPIONS THE CROW
communicated


The following letter has been re-
ceived from lady residing in New
Jersey. 1t is self explanatory.
Passaic, N. J., April %, 1924.
To the Editor of
The Milford Chronicle,
Sir:-
Your valued paper of the 18th inst.
has an article on Crows on the first
page in which such prizes as guns and
cartridges are offered to the most ac-
tive exterminatOr of these birds of
unfortunately Interpolation.
The impartial editor as well as anv
other student recognizes the fact that
there are at least two ways of viewing
situation. Such slaughter seems a
relic of barbarism.
At such time it may not be amiss
to enclose these clippings taken from
the Newark, N. j., Evening News, of
the 18th and 21st inst.
Will you please give them the same
publicity in your next issue Of The
Chronicle that the previous article on
the prize crow determination contest
held on your first page.
Very truly,
FANNIE F. WEIGH.

 COLUMBIA STUDENTS
Dean Declines to Dust ColOred
 Youth From Dorlnit0ry

New York, April 2.-Graduate stud ents at Columbia university who threatened to quit residence in Furn- ald Hall unless negro law student was elected today face the assertion Of Dean Hawkes., chairman of the committee on residence halls that If a student finds his surroundings un- congenial there is no need for him to stay"
 Frederick ". Wells, of Tennessee, whose friends said he formerly attend ed Yale, Ohio state and Wilberfore on terms of racial equality, was the man whose residence was protested.
 Although the matter has not been brought to the attention of university authorities officially. Dean Hawkes. in- dicated the probable action on any report submitted by the house com mittee Of Furnald Hall.
 Tt has not been the usage to ex- ciude any man from residence halls on the ground of his percentage" he said. There have always been negroes at Columbia as we'll as students of other races, and no discrimination is countenanced. If student finds his surrounding uncongenial there is no need for him te stay. There are hum dreds on the Waiting lists and any vacancy can be filled at once"
 Among the lodgers in the hall arc Japanese, Chinese, Hindus and stud onts from European countries. It was not ascertained whether Wells was the first negro 10 live in Furnald Hall but it was said that none of his race had lived there in recent years.

 President Coolidge probable will have several district delegates, ac- cording to political observers, all though district returns were too mea- gre to indicate results. The presi- dent showed strength in the sixth district. and later added to his show ing in this locality. In the demo- cratic contest Smith delegates were leading in a ma iority of the districts, but insufficient returns had been re- rcivcd to venture a guess as to the ultimate results in any district.
 McAdoo was leading in the presi- lcntial preference primary. where Senator James 4. Reed of Missouri was the only opponent. Little inter est was shown in the race, and l54 precincts gave McAdoo e,0Sa 10 Reeds 925.
 Wet organizations in both Milwau- Ecc and in numerous out state coun. ties during the last few days worked for Governor Smiths delegates and it is nlso thought that his candidates will run well in Milwaukee.

 Albany. x. r., April c.-The New York. New Haven and Hartford rail- road company has been granted the right 10 have reviewed a portion Of the terms of a public service commits sion order directing improvements in passenger train service provided by the railroad in New. York state. The right of review, fshted by Supreme Court Justice Staley, was accompan- jed by an order enjoining further pro- ceedings under the commissions or- der, providing the review is brought up for argument in the appellate di- vision at Albany at the May term.
 The commission directed changes and filing of plans for encouragement of tracks in the New Rochelle Junc- ton yards 10 permit trains to pass within. the main line and the Harlem river branch without crossing tracks at grade. The railroad, petitioning for review, held there was no reason able demand or necessity for thai part of the order, that the large ey- pense would deprive the company Of property without proper return and that Jurisdiction in such matters rest ed with the interstate commerce com mission, rather than the public serv- ice commission.
 The changes were ordered by the commission after an inquiry made in cojunction with the transit commits sion over service between New York and comm uting points in this state.
