COLD MAKES QUAIL VERY TAME BIRDS

Bob White Dives Into Straw Stacks at Night With Farmer's Hogs. MANY FEEDING THE BIRDS SEVERAL LOCAL PEOPLE MAKE A POINT TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FEATHERED FRIENDS EVERY MORNING. Reports of quail and other cative birds which spend the winter in this vicinity, suffering from the want of food and from the cold weather have been received from almost every community In the country. The deep snow has prevented the birds foraging for their accustomed foods and If it was not for the farmers, undoubtedly many would have died from starvation by this time. Isaac Burgess, a well known farmer, living south of Centerville, has one of the most interesting tales of the suffering of native birds, from observations made by himself during the past few days. Me is feeding a large number of hogs for the market, the corn and other foods being deposited on the ground in the hog lot. The shelter of the animals is a large straw slack, also pens. Take Stray Grains. Nearly every morning and evening a he feeds his hogs he has found hundreds of birds perched within close range and after he goes away a short distance these birds, prompted by hunger descend among the hogs and eat occasional grains of corn which the hogs do not gather. Mr. Burgess says that birds, particularly the quails, are becoming almost as tame as the chickens on his place and he Is taking a great interest in his wild pets. At night, the birds will burrow in the straw stack. Some have been noticed to dive in the straw, close to where the pigs have made their bed. and there they are kept good and warm troiii the body heat of the hogs. In this city, there are a number of humanitarians who are feeding the birds. Judge Luther C. Abbott, of the justice of the peace court, is one of the bird lovers who is providing for their wants. Judge Abbott may be seen every morning, sweeping Main street in front of his office clean of the snow and depositing crumbs of bread and other foods. The birds have learned to be present as the Judge prepares their morning meal. Hundreds assemble, sparrows and pigeons for the most part. Mr. Judah. the feed store merchant on North Ninth street, is another whom the birds have learned to know as a good provider. TO PROBE IRE CASE At the meeting of the Buckeye Canners association, at Dayton, next week. It is understood that the death of Kd White, a resident of Whitewater, on December 22. from eating canned corn, will be discussed. It is anticipated that some actiin will be taken, although just what it will be is a matter of presumption. Mr. and Mrs. White were taken ill with ptomaine poisoning about a week before Mr. White's death. Roth were made seriously ill, "but Mrs. Whitej recovered while her husband died. The only cause attributed for the poisoning was the eating of the canned corn. It is said that the corn, which was purchased at a grocery store, was of recommended quality. IS Judge Will M. Sparks, of the RushShelby circuit court, who acted as a special judge in the Watkins recount case of New Castle, has decided in favor of the defendants and sustained the motion of defense to dismiss.

MARSHALL'S WIDOW It Is Understood She Has Settled With P. R. R. for $2,500 Damages. HUSBAND DIES IN WRECK HE WAS ENGINEER ON ILL-FATED FREIGHT IN COLLINSVILLE CATASTROPHE COMPROMISE i VERY SMALL. 4 Mrs. Iona Marshall, wfe of Lewis H. Marshall, the engineer on the freight train, who was instantly killed in the Collinsville, Ohio, catastrophe, October 22, has compromised her claim with the railroad company and accepted .?2,50O damages. The sum is regarded as a very small one, inasmuch as the company compromised its case with Mrs. Roland Webb of Anderson, the wife of the fireman on the freight, who was killed, for the sum of $5,5UO. For some reason the matter of the compromise has not been placed on record in the circuit court. In Mrs. Marshall's petition for letters of administration, she gives bond for $o,hh, and it is stated in the petition that she has a claim against the railroad company. Statements to Friends. However, that she has been given the amount stated, was learned from her statements to neighbors. Her bond for administration of hr husband's estate also indicates that this was the sum of the compromise. Administrators are required to file bond double the amount of personal property of the deceased. It is usual for relatives of persons killed in railroad accidents, when they pursue court action, to file claim for (10,-u.

Musicians Should Civilize U. S.

"Majority of People Are Barbarians" and College Men Are "Crammed Full of Commercialism," Says Dr. Harris.

Chicago, Dec. SO. Americans are musical barbarians. College graduates of today know little or nothing of the subliuier works of music. A young man is poorly equipped for life"s work unless he has a musical education. The duty of American musicians is to civilize the people. There are a few of the caustic comments made yesterday by President Abram W. Harris of Northwestern university before more than 200 members of the Music Teachers' National association. The occasion was the thirty-first annual meeting of the association, which opened at the university. "It is indeed regretable that Americans let music play such a little part in their education and lives," declared President Harris. "The majority of them are worse than barbarians. The ayerage graduate today of a college starts out to fight life's battle with his brain crammed full of commercial23c

BUT REFUSE TO TESTIFY PROSECUTOR LADD HAS ISSUED AN EDICT THAT HE WILL TAKE NO ACTION UNTIL THE EVIi DENCE IS GIVEN. Again Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd has been notified that intoxicants are being sold in Centerville in violation of the liquor laws and particularly the blind tiger statues. And again, the prosecutor has informed the protestors that it is essential that if prosecutions are to be successful that they get the evidence, with the usual result that the protestors have refused to be a party to the prosecutions for fear of publicity. Those making the complaints are well known to the authorities for their objections as-to the way the law is being enforced in Centerville has been continuous for two years. Wilfred Jessup, former prosecuting attorney, was charged by those who are prominent in making the kicks, with being in league with the Centerville law violaters, when he was prosecutor, and now Mr. Ladd is gaining the same reputation. Find no Violations. Efforts on the part of the authorities to discover anything amiss in Centerville in the way of liquor violations have always failed. There are plenty of complaints but no evidence on which to base an affidavit. Mr. Ladd, in speaking of the affair this morning said that one woman, who has been complaining for the past two years, was in his office and said that poker was also being played there. She said that this game was proving to be the ruination of her son who is now nearly S3 years old. She said that he lost $30 in one sitting and $10 in another. However, when ask ed to swear to these facts, she refused to do so. ism. Only a small percentage of them know anything of the sublimer works of music. A young man who goes out into the world without being equipped with an appreciation of good music is forever barred from the uplifting qualities to be derived only from the great musical compositions. ' Education is too cold and it would be materially improved by the addition of musical studies in connection with other college courses. The musicians of today should throw their body and soul into the work of civilizing the people of America." "The uplifting spirit, is emphasized to a sublimer degree in choral singing," was the assertion of Harrison M. "Wild of Chicago, who spoke on the subject, "Relation of Choral Music to General Musical Culture." Nathaniel Rubinkamp of the University of Chicago urged all music teachers to make a study of the muses. Only those who can appreciate the close connection between music and poetry, he said, can ever become great teachers. The Attraction.

EAST GERMAIITOWII U. S. Marshal Who Figured in Double Tragedy Known In Wayne County.

Although Roy McKinney, the United States Marshal who murdered Miss Dora Chapell, at Peru, then suicided, has a wife living at East Germantowu. this county, it is alleged the double crime was the result of the murdered young woman's father refusing to permit his daughter to marry the federal officer. A Peru dispatch has the fol lowing to say: McKinney came to Peru Monday and registered at the Bears Hotel as L P Lenhart, a United States marshal, of Chicago. He wore a badge on the lapel of his vest. Mis3 Chappell after returning to Peru found employment at the Bearss Hotel, and always had McKinney at her table when he was at that hotel. During his meals they chatted with each other and seemed happy. Called on Her Father. Yesterday afternoon McKinney called on the girl's father and asked his consent for them to be married. This Chapell flatly refused. At noon to day McKinney watched the dining room, and when he found no patrons there he took his accustomed seat. After serving his order Miss Chapell volunteered to pour cream in his cof fee. While she was thus engaged McKinney threw his left arm about her neck and drew her close to him. The next instant they heard three shots in close succession. Miss Chapell never spoke. She reeled and fell at McKinney's feet. Before the smoke died away one other shot was fired, and McKinney too, fell to the floor, dead. Writes Three Letters. The murderer had written three letters, one to Mr. Chapell criticising him for the alleged illtreatment he had accorded his daughter, another to his wife at East Germantown, saying "I wish you were here so I could take you along with us," while the third instructed the coroner to send his body to a medical school. The bodies were removed to the morgue, and upon examination it was learned that the heart of each Jlad been pierced by a bullet. The young woman graduated from the Peru high school with honors.
