"COURTSHIP OF BIRDS"
TOPIC OF LECTURER
Geographical Society Members to
Hear Professor of Ornithology
of Cornell.

DR.. Arthur A. Allen, professor Of
ornithology, Cornell University, will
lecture to members of the National
Geographic Society at Constitution
Hall tonight at 8:15 on The Songs
and Courtship Of Birds"
DR.. Allen and his associates devised
a huge electric ear for the recording
Of bird songs on film. With this he
stalked feathered creatures in their
hants, waited patiently for them to
appear, and recorded their singing
and calls. The films to be shown to
illustrate the lecture will reproduce
for the audience the song of the
mocking bird, the vail of the loon and
the weird whistle Of the whippoorwill.

CEMETERY is STARTED
FOR PETS KILLED BY CARS
Garage Man Writes Epitaphs for
Dogs and Cats Which Lose
Lives to Road Hogs.

LONDON (P.-The number Of cats
and dogs which annually are martyred
to appease road-hogs on one Of the
main London by-passes has led a
garage proprietor to start a cat and
dog cemetery.
His own dog was killed by a car
and buried on vacant ground next to
the garage. Since then the number of
tombstones has increased until now
there are about dozen-with epi-
taphs written by the garage man.
One woman had her dog inferred in
an oak coffin. Some bereaved pet own
ers regularly place flowers on the

LOCUST SWARM
DUE|N CAPITAL

Choice sweetmeats for birds
and pests to human beings,
locusts, the old scourage of
ancient Egypt. and the bugaboo
to modern civilization, will swarm
Washington within a few weeks,
the Department of Agriculture
announced today.
The locusts are not really
locusts in the strict sense of the
word, the department asserted.
Rather they are technically known
as periodical cicada."
The insects buried themselves
during the closing year of the
World War, 1918, and will come
forth this year after a II years
absence. The periodical cicada
resembles in many respects the
common summer locust found in
this section.
The insect is an easy prey for
birds, and similarly the cause of
anguish to human beings. The
Agriculture Department estimates
that billions of the insects will
break loose in Washington some
time this month or early in June.

CONTROVERSY
SUBSIDIES
Mass Meeting Postponed as
Fucker Makes Plea Against
Demonstration

COLLEGE PARK, Md, May Z.
The uproar that broke out on the
University of Maryland campus
Saturday following the ali
nounced resignation of DR.. A. E..
Fucker from the faculty, quoted
yesterday as suddenly as it had
broken out.
The student-faculty mass meet
ing, which was to have been held
last night, failed to materialize,
and the scene of action, if there
was any, was transferred to a
closed fraternity meeting, the out
come of which has been shrouded
in secrecy.
Story of Resignation
An extra edition of the Ola
mond Back" student paper, APP
peared yesterday morning carry
ing the story of DR.. Fuckers reSig-
nation as head of the modern
languages department and also
his statement that complete lack
of sympathy with the president"
had been his reason for leaving
the university.
In the story the student leaders
of the campus called all students,
faculty and administrative Of
ficials of the university to mass
meeting in the auditorium to
"thresh out the controversy over
DR.. R. A. Pearson's administrative
policy"
Secret Meeting
Shortly thereafter, following a
long conference between DR..
Fucker and Marshall Matthias,
editor of the Diamond Back"
it was announced that the meet
ing was to be postponed in
definitely at the personal request
of DR.. Fucker, and lin the in
terest of the welfare of the uni

long, met last night in a closed
meeting that continued far into
the night. What happened at
that meeting was not disclosed,
but it is known that DR.. Pear
son was present and that several

CAPITOL POLICE
To BE REVISED
DRAST|CALLY
Qualifications of City Force
Suggested to Handle Big
Affairs on 'HiIP

A substantial increase IN the
Capitol police force and a drastic
revision of the regulations for the
selection of it's members will be
voted at this session of Congress
to take care of the large crowds
now flooding Capitol Hill, it was
learned today.
At the present time most OF the
force are students serving under
patronage appointments Will e
they attend one of the several uni
versities in the city.
AS one member of Congress re-
marked recently two years serv-
ice on one of the elevators in the
Capitol Office Buildings is re-
garded as all that is necessary for
qualifications on the police force.
Heated Battle Due
1t is understood that when the
Appropriation Bill for the Legis-
lative Branch of the Government
is reported next week a heated
battle will be precipitated to re-
quire the same qualifications for
the Capitol police that is now de-
manded of men applying for posi-
tions on the Metropolitan police
force.
This move will be a sad blow
to the patronage distributors, but
will meet with considerable sup
port from other members of the
House and Senate who have been
faced with many inconvenience
because of instances that have
arisen which could not be con
trolled by the Capitol force.
The Metropolitan force is con-
tinualIy called in to take care of
any serious disturbance in the gal
lery, to help in directing traffic
on the outskirts of the Capitol
Plaza and to take over the polio
ing of any big event that happens
on the Hill.
Seeking Control
With Huey Long and debate on
President Roosevelt's big must"
program attracting so many Wis
itors to the Hill, it is deemed
necessary to make a concentrated
effort to help control the situa-
ton without continually calling
for help from the municipal forces.
Besides efforts to raise the
standards of admission to the
force, it is also expected that the
increase to be demanded will make
it unnecessary for the assigning
of several men from the local de-
tective bureau to help out in
patrolling the galleries and cor.
ridors and allow some of the traf-
fic policemen to be assigned to
other posts downtown and in
other congested areas within the
city.

like a bucking broncho before

Mr.. Ridgeway was driving at
Eighth Street and Rhode Island

in attempting to avoid a taxi
cab he skidded on the car

His machine spun around on
the rain-soaked street, slid
across the lot of a gasoline

up to a big oil drum.
Then the machine showed

Both Mr.. Ridgeway and his

In darkness there is safety.
This poved a successful bit
of strategy to the burglar who
early today entered the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Aubrey Fen
nell, in the 1900 block Lamont

The thief apparently was
taking no chances. When he

In the dark, he made his way
from the basement to the third

was $3.50.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fennell, hearing
someone proving around the
house, called the police, but in

own foresight. the thief escaped

TRAFFIC ACCIDENT
INCREASE CITED
Insurance Executives Con.
cerned Over Casualties
Since Repeal.

Leading casualty insurance execu.
tives are seriously concerned over re-
ported increases In trafic accidents
since the repeal Of prohibition, the
National w. c. T. U. claimed yester-
day in a statement issued from its
Evanston, Ill, headquarters.
Although 1t is manifestly early for
tabulation of comparative insurance
records since the legalizing Of liquor
on December S, 1888, the w. c. T. U.
claimed that replies from insurance
officials in response to inquiries re-
fleet significant testimony as to the
increasing evidence of beverage alco-
hol as a factor in accidents and cas-
ualties.
The research bureau Of the W. C.
T. U. made a survey Of the casualty
companies with view to eliciting in
formation on the effects Of repeal,
quoting the replies of numerous exec
utives. In severa4 cases, admitting
the general increase in automobile
accidents during recent months, re-
plies stated that this fact is not re-
fiected in the records of the particu-
lar company involved because stricter
rules are eliminating prospects and
policyholders whose reckless driving
is due to liquor or other causes.
Frank C. Morris, president Of the
Standard Surety g. Casualty Co. of
New York, was quoted as replying
that the disastrous loss experienced
under liability policies during the CAL
endar year 1884" represents lone Of
the most momentous problems" be-
fore the casualty insurance executives.
IAN abnormal percentage" OF the
losses, he reported. were found at
tributable to overindulgence in alco-
holic beverages by automobile oper-
ators, both young and old.
Il regard the greatest enemy to the
safety of highway traffic to be the
automobile driver who operates while
in the glow of cocktails and other
strong drinks" Morris replied. "Elim-
mate this atrocious custom and much
for the safety Of all will have been
accomplished"
