Quail Die of rhir.,

Dr Joseph tirnuell, ornithoiugist, of California, believes that lack of water explains the disappearance of quail in many parts of that state He has made investigations and finds tkat areas formerly supplied with water are now dry owing to climatic changes and rec iamation work and have become un' inhabited as nesting grounds for the quail
 Doctor Grinneii does not believe that verInin has accounted for the dis appearance of the birds So much as the lack of water. as the species of wiid birds and animals designated as vermin also have become scareer dur lag recent years in the same area Young quail which are matched more than 400 yards from water and where rain does not fall or teavy dews occur shortly after they are matched will de from thirst. says a bulletin of the American Game Protective association

A BIG FIELD DAY
 FOR CONNECTICUT
Lobby Investigating Committee SIashed and Jabbed This
 States Delegation
How Members Show Their Reaction
 to Attack

Iareelv partisan. partly vicious, and entirely merciless, the earaway .lohbv investieatine committee has slashed and iabbed the Connecticut Congressional delegation probably more extensively than the delegation of any other state 10 the union.
 The committee started of by drag ging into the limelight Charles L. Eyanson of the Connecticut Manu- facturers Association and then tor menting Senator Bingham into volnn- tarily appearing to testify. With Bingham chastised, the committee published letters involving Senator Walcott with the Muscle Shoals issue, and then called witnesses to tell how Representative John Q. Tilson, repub- iican leader of the house, had offered to trade power with independent oil companies.
 During the Bingham episode, Con- uerticut received it's full share or headlines. The Garaway committee reprimanded and censured the sena- tor. brought the name of J. Henry Roraback into the controversy. said the Connecticut Manufacturers As soeiation had spies in Washington, and called various members of the association to Washington to be sub jected to treatment similar to that accorded Bingham.
 Handled More Gently
 walcott was handled more gently. The committee was content to appro- priate and make public letters from the files of the American Farm Bur eau federation showing that Walcott had been approached by officials or fhe federation. requested to oppose the Norris resolution for government control of Muscle Shoals, and then dropped by the federation after 1t was learned he was a director of the Union Carbide Company.
 The committee wanted to hit Mr. Tilson. SO they questioned witnesses and introduced letters and telegrams in order to bring out in the hearings the report that Tilson had promised indenendent oil operators he would vote for "A tariff on oil in exchange for certain favors.
 Connecticut reacted in vastly diff ferent manner to the Caraway com mittee attacks.
 Bingham. white in the face and angry, fought back with all the elo- uuenee he could command, holding his head proudly even in the face of the resolution of censorship which the committee persuaded the senate to approve.
 Senator Waleott refused to pay any attention to the committee's giances in his direction. He was un- perturbed by them and had nothing to say to newspnpermen.
 Leader Tilson didn't like to have his name coupled with the lobbyists but refrained from becoming angry dismissinr the assertions attributed to him by calling them "ridiculous".
 Tn fact. Connecticut seemed Co re gard the situation with considerable hnmor. with the exception of Senator Bingham. Before the committee Eyanson smiled and couldn't remem Der everything; President Hubbard of the Manufacturers Association boomed and chuckled and Mr. Which ct of the association was serious but unworried.
 All in all, the lobby investigation thus far has been a big field day for Connecticut.

FIVE ARRESTED
 ON RUM CHARGES
Police Make Raids Following g Arrest of Young Man.
 Sales Charged
One Successful Sesreh--mosher and
 Son Held


 For the second time within the past two weeks raids were made in the north end of the city, Monday, on places in which it was suspected that intoxicating lijuor may be had. In only one place did the officers seize snv alleged intoxicating beverages. The seizure was made at the home Of Mrs Odelia Tetreault where t is al- legged twenty bottles of beer and five gallons of wine were seized. Mrs. retreault was placed under arrest and later furnished a bond of $500 for her release. Her son. Edgar let feault. 24. was also arrested and furnished $500 bond for his release.
 Others arrested were Alvin Jarvis, who has grocery store on Providence street. released on $500 bonds; Ar thur Dupre. proprietor of a taxi service to whom the city recently awarded a contract for taking pris- oners to the county jail; Wilfred Champaigne, Church street. who also furnished bonds of $500.
 Raids Follow Arrest
 Monday morning Putnam young man appeared in the city court on a charge of breach of the peace. The defendant was questioned by the of fieers and his case was continued until the following morning. Not long af- terward the raids took place. This leads to speculation as to whether or not this young man had purchased liquor and has informed the officers of the names of those from whom he made purchases.
 As no liquors were seized by the officers. except at the Tetreault home, if is assumed that sales will be charg cd against the other defendants when they are brought to trial. None but oeal officers participated in the raids Sergeant Alpherie Sponcey headed the faidinR squad which included Iatrolmen Page, Benoni and Joseph Durand
 The little court across the river was crowded Go the doors, Tuesday morning. The large audience was disappointed when the eases were continued Co Monday morning March i7th
 Asks Specific Charges
 Attorney Miron. in asking for a continuance. said that the liquor cases would surely mean an all-day trial. He also stated that he was en- titled to know what accusations were to be made against his clients in order that he might prepare to meet them. He said he wanted specific allegations of the sales and to whom they were made.
 Prosecuting Attorney Johnson said that counsel had made the same mos ton to him and that he had agreed to furnish the information. "I will give you the information and amend my complaint. said Mir. Johnson.
 The case against the young man charged with breach of the peace wa, also continued until Monday morn ing.

 The declaration states that the creator endowed man with certain inalienable rights Mir. Borglum said. The existence of these rights is so obvious that it needs only to be stated, The pursuit of happiness is one of these eternal rights, and de- irving from this right to pursue hap pines is the equally fundamental right to institute any form of gov ernment for themselves that will guarantee the people the security to this right"
 Two other changes were made in the inscription submitted by Mr. Coolidge. His original text read:
