ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 21.-John
F. Burke, 103 South Newport ave-
nue., Ventnor. while strolling along
the beach, found a large bird, ex-
hausted on the sand. Fearing it
would become the prey of dogs, he
picked it up and carried It to his
home, placing it in a box near the
furnace.
The next morning when he went
into the cellar to put the draft on
the fire the bird attacked him and
inflicted several wounds on his face
and hands with a. razor-Iike bill.
Burke called up Chief Of Police
Harry Frings and asked for as
sistance.
Patrolman Carney was assigned
to the case and when he appeared
at the house Burke advised him to
be wary, but the policeman waved
the advice aside with d remark TO
the effect that he twas used to
capturing tough birds
After the cellar door had closed
behind Carney there was silence,
then a yell and the noise OF ash
cans tumbIing about. The racket
continued for thirty minutes, but
finally Carney emerged, his uni.
form showing numerous Sits and
his face bleeding In several places,
The bird was taken to police
headquarters, where It was identi.
fled as q coot. Later It was re-
leased when 1t had taken q piece
out Of the turkeys finger.

belief that the man was q victim OF
religious mania and had ended his
life in front of the cross, first tax
ing poison, then sending bullet
through his stomach.
Other circumstances, as they de-
veloped later, however, caused Cor

to the belief that the man might
have been a victim of a boot1eggers

Reservation Rejected.
This last refers directly to the

Ambassador Kellogg is reported to
have offered just before signing
the agreement at Paris. This reser.
walton is said to have stipulated
that in signing the American dele

only to the protection of American
interests.
Upon the immedia to objection of
the other powers, Kellogg subse-
Quently withdrew it. These are the
circumstances surrounding the
negotiations" that the Senate IRE
concilables are DESTROYS of obtaining
from Hughes.
By inserting request also for
information concerning the "execu-
ton" Of the agreement, the irrecon-

Hughes a statement as to what
the American attitude would be
should Germany default in her pay

PREPARED
Joint Committee Unanimously
Approves $4,000 900
Measure

joint Senate and House subcom-
mittee on schools at an executive

tendent of schools, and Doctor
John J. Tigert, United States COM
missioner of Education, explained
the proposed, building program in
detail.
At the suggestion of. Senator
William H. King, of Utah, Doctor
BaIlou agreed that a wise course
would be to spend three-fifth Of

years and the remaining two
fifths the following three years.
Prepare Reports On Bill.
Favorable reports on the bill are
now in the course of preparation by

rressman Ernest Gibson Of Ver-
mont. These reports win be sub
mitted to both houses or Congress

by Doctor Ballou that next year the

year program, this one dealing with
pepairs. The Engineer Commission
er's office, he said. already has be-
gun work on this new program.
ID. G. School Reforms.
The five.year building. program
will assure the following benefits to
washington schools by 1880:
/. Make possible the elimination
of seventy-six portable wooden
schools now in use.
2. Enable school officials to
abandon eleven school houses re-
commended for abandonment in
1908.

ton in elementary and high

ments, rented houses, and insult
able class rooms.
A. L. Harris, municipal architect,
followed Doctor Ballou on the wit
ness stand. He said building costs
had greatly increased since 1914,

ton since the war. Senator
Gooding of Idaho, asked the
architect to furnish him with a
list of construction costs.
