FOnCY FEATHERS FOR MILADY'S HAT

Minion end a Half Egrets Killed Last Year for . , Their Plumes. DIRDS RAPIDLY DECREASING TARTU NO FIGURES ON BIRDLAUGHTER MADE BASIS FOR ADDRESS UROINQ IMMEDIATE AND DRASTIC LEGISLATION. London, July 13. Startling figure regarding the slaughtetr of birds for the Paris and London mllllnerr mar kets were given recently to thf Belborne society at the civil service com mission theater, Burlington Gardens, whan Mr. James Buckland spoke on, Th Traffic la Feathers and the Need for Legislation." "Bird life," said Mr. Buckland, "Is being reduced at an alarming rate by the traffic In feathers and killing In the breeding season, when feathers have full luster, smoothness and elas ticity. nurtn 1S0&. 1.538.738 egrets were killed In Venesuela for their 'plumej. and In 1906 the same number had fall en to 257,916, the effect of ten year's slaughter. The same thing Is happening In every country where the white heron Is found. "There baa been growing for the last ten years a demand In the millinery market for the large white wing and tail feathers of the American Jablru. the largest but one of all living storks. In London alone 30.000 of these quills are sold annually. The bird would have been annihilated long ago, but it scented danger from the hunter and his fowling piece, though today,' In the middle Crinoor basin. Its favorite feeding ground it Is shot by a soft nosed bullet from a Mauser rifle, and thus woman's wish Is gratified., "Besides the egret 10,612 pounds weight ot other plumage Is exportetd from Cludad Bolivar. Besides being extravagantly wasteful of bird life and terribly cruel, the plume trade Is aggravated by Illegal practices. Although in 100ft the government of India passed a law prohibiting the export of the skins and feathers of all wild birds, the most useful and beautiful birds continue to pour into the London market, being clandestinely conveyed out of India under fictitious names, and addresses, and the cases falsely declared as containing cow hair or some flimsy silk material.

MAYOR BREAKS UP GANG OF NEGROES

Crowd of Idlers Who Have Dis turbed the North End Are Warned in Court. ONE FINED $25 AND COSTS NEGROES SET UPON A PEDESTRIAN WITHOUT PROVOCATION AND BEAT HIM BADLY NEIGHBORHOOD COMPLAINS. William Tracy, a young negro, was arrested at William Hieger's grocery Fourteenth and North G streets, last evening for assault and battery on Elmer Smith, living at 1325 North G street. Smith, who was walking down Fourteenth street, says a r-tone was hurled at him by one of a crowd of colored boys standing at the grocery. Then Tracy ran across the street and struck him In the mouth and nose, bringing a free flow of blood. According to Smith's story, all the colored boys came over and he made no at tempt at resistance. He claims he gave the negroes no provocation for the assault. On the witness stand this morning Mrs. William Shank of North Four teenth street told Mayor W. W. Zim merman that the colored boys were habitual loafers around the grocery and that they were a nuisance, fighting, quarreling and causing a general disturbance all day. She said the assault of Smith, which she witnessed, seemed to be unprovoked. Mayor Zimmerman fined Tracy $35 and costs and SO days In Jail. Tracy had four witnesses, all negroes of his own age, who are alleged to belong to his gang. To these Mayor Zimmerman and I. A Gormon, superintendent of police, de livered a stiff lecture. The Mayor told them the next complaint meant $25 and costs, and if they molested Smith he would give them $100 and costs and a Jail sentence. They all promised to be good. For interior illumination It is of decided advantage to have the rays of the lamp directed up to the light colored ceiling and then reflected below, This makes a light which Is almost ideal, but in lamps designed for street illumination this Is not desired, for such rays are lost entirely. The mem bers of the New York section of the illuminating engineering society re cently had their attention called to a new device which had been invented by Dr. Clayton H. Sharp of that city who had devised a reflector consisting of a pair of parabolic mirrors arranged to throw the rays in the direction of the street, so that all the light will be used to the best advantage. The claim is made that instead ot having the streets lighted in spots as at present, a continuous degree of Illumination is provided. Though Dr. L. C Clark Seelye for mer president of Smith college, says that colleges produce excellent wives. the girls of Rhode Island do not seem to agree with him, There are said to be fewer girls from Rhode Island going to college than from almost any other state of the union. "Relatively few women from Rhode Island, said Dr. Wallace Butterlck, chief executive secretary of the Rockefeler fund of the general education board, "are at tending college. An examination of the catalogues of many colleges shows that only 163 women from Rhode Is land are attending colleges of any sort. One hundred and three of these girls go to the women's college of Brown university. There is one student to every 1,501 of the woman population of the state, a very low ratio."

STRENUOUS EFFORT ; TO GET ROOSEVELT

FOR MORE SPEECHES . (Continued From Page One.) was that the reason for hU remaining at home was that he had received word to come at a later date. Richmond in the List. But now the time has come for his visit and he la expecting to make the trip. Lee wants several speeches from Roosevelt. Of course he feels that one speech will be a great thing for the party, but he feels that It one would be good, more would be better. It Is understood that he will try to have him agree to enter the state from Chicago and make several speeches while speeding toward India napolis. Lee would like to have a speech at South Bend, another at Ft. Wayne, one at Richmond, one at Ham mond and one at Evansville, in addi-1 tion to the one at Indianapolis, but he does not hope to get this number. It is more likely that he will be able to induce Roosevelt to mtke a special train trip from Chicago to Indianapolis, speaking on the way at Hammond. Lafayette, Lebanon and Frankfort or Crawford8vllle. Roosevelt will speak at Chicago on September 8 and it may be that he will come to Indianapolis the next day. There Is also a possibility that he may come to this state on either the eleventh or thirteenth of October, as he speaks at Peoria on October 12. In the latter case he would take an entirely different route from the one mapped out for. the trip from Chicago to this city. The demand for Roosevelt speeches In Indiana la something fierce. From every corner of the state there is a demand for a visit from the ex-presi dent. If there le a county in Indiana that has not asked for a speech it is because the mails h?.ve gone astray with the letterl Beveridge Gains Strength. A man who is in a position to know said yesterday that the manufacturers of Indiana are not as much' opposed to Senator Beverldge now as they were some, months ago, and he expressed the opinion that before the election in November the opposition of those republicans who seek to con trol the manufacturers associations against him will be materially weak ened. It is becoming evident that the campaign is to he fought largely on tbe issue of the creation of a tariff commission with wide powers, such as has been favored by Roosevelt and Beveridge. and if this proves to be true the cause for the opposition to Bever idge will largely disappear. This talk about republicans votine against republican candidates for the legislature just to defeat Beveridge for re-election is a democratic plan pure and simple," said this man. "If the democrats an keep this agitation up and if they succeed in' encouraging some of the republicans to vote for democratic members of the legislature on the ground that they want to defeat Beveridge it will mean the election of John W. Kern, and I fail to see why any republican can hope to get better results for the country through the election of Kern than he can get through the election of Beveridge." Bryan Not Wanted. There has been a renewal of the talk about Bryan coming Into Indiana this year to make speeches during the campalgn, but there is no more foundation for the talk now than there was weeks ago. It. has been given out with shadow of authority that Bryan will not be invited into Indiana this year not by the democrats at least. As has been pointed out in these dispatches several times Bryan could not come into Indiana and speak for the election of a democratic legislature, because a democratic legislature will be expected to stand on the democratic state .platform and repeal the county local option law. Bryan is an advocate of county option and has entered Into the campaign on that issue. There is no question but that Bryan would like very much to help elect Kern to the United States senate, but the minute he does that he also assists in repeal ing the county option law, for the leg islature that would do the one thing would do the other. The anti-saloon league would like to have Bryan come Into Indiana and make a few speeches during the cam paign, from, a purely non-partisan standpoint, arguing for the election of a legislature that would retain the county option law on the statute books. Whether the anti-saloon league has Invited him to do this is not known, but even it it does ask him to com. it is not at all likely that he will accept the invitation, because he would then be urging the election of a republican legislature that would defeat Kern for the senate. Bryan would not do this. If he should do it he would be charged with treachery to his party. No "Machine- for Marshall. Governor Marshall denies that he is building up a machine to help him to keep Indiana In line for him for the nomination for president In 1912. He says he would not know what to do with a political machine if he had one and that he has never believed in machine politics. Of course. In making this statement, Marshall will be understood as making a drive at Tom Taggart, who has always maintained a well oiled machine In the democratic party in Indiana, and it has always been in good working order. It received its hardest blow at the democratic state convention this year when it went up against Governor Marshall and landed in the scrap heap, but It has been dragged out. the bent and twisted rods and spokes straightened, the whole works repainted and oiled and it is again in good shape for another whirl at Marshall or anyone else. Marshall cannot expect any help from the Taggart machine, and this Is taken aa the reason for his fiery declaration that he has no use for political machines.

Art-Mad Public Falls Easy Prey Amazing Tale Shows How Dea lers and Critics Work Together in Paris to Fleece Wealthy Amateur Collectors.

Paris, July -13. An' amaxing tale of the art of bluff and of bluff in art is told in the' Gil Bias, and if only halt of it is true art dealers, art critics and artists are most of them frauds, and the . great majority of the public is gulled. "How to boom a picture" is the . art of bluff described. "The serious and sincere artist is now an anomaly. He and. his paintings are -not wanted. He has only two ways of making a living, either to paint faked old masters, or to paint mad pictures of his own." The tricks of the trade in spurious old masters are so well known that they no longer require showing up. The picture, once faked is sent up in value by. being bid for by accomplices at auction sales, or intro duced into retrospective shows got up for charitable purposes, out of which it emerges with more or less a stamp of authenticity. . There certainly have been of late years some exhibitions of the kind in Paris, at which even the not very expert eye could pick out obvious forgeries. Tbe art of booming a new "mad' painter, who is not really, mad at all. but pretends to be, is well known, and the writer reveals the method In detail. ' . ' - v.. J "Nearly all art experts and two- i thirds of the art critics, are para sites, who pocket ten per cent of the value of all the pictures they judge or criticize," is his prefatory remark. The dealer's method for booming , a new painter then, is this. He catches him young as possible, probably at an exhibition of the wildest canvasses at the autumn salon or the Paris Independents, and commissions him to paint a hundred pictures' in a year. Jhe dealer counts the pictures without looking at them, and sends them one by one, or in twos or threes to the Hotel Drounot at judicious intervals. What the pictures are is not of the slightest importance. The dealer has confederates who raise the prices at each sale and he buys them in him self. "After a few months the young artists canvases have' a market value. A few months after that, more judicious booming has turned him into a modern master. The latest form of impressionism, called by some other name, for impressionism is out oi date. At the same time the critics have to be captured, and this is how it is done. The critic is shown some fearful daub, worthy to have beer painted by a donkey with its tail. He utters cries of horror. The deale; says, 'What? you don't like it? Take it home with you as a favor to me and keep it for six months.' Then you will see.' In due course an art amateur calls, and the critic shows him the picture. . . ' "What a masterpiece! The most modern thing in art I have seen for a long time. The critic begins to agree. Another visit from another enthusiastic amateur is enOugh, and . he writes a column of panogyric upon the new master. Both amateurs were confederates of the dealer. The critic's article is the decisive stroke. ' The new master is boomed and becomes the vogue. Wealthy and simple-minded amateurs sell their Corots and buy up collections of the new master's JEWELRY marks the woman or the man. Dainty jewelry a dainty person. Have you studied jewelry lore?

works.', The new master makes about ten per cent profit, and the dealer ninety per cent' on the transactions. The artist is at the mercy of the dealer, for the latter has an Infallible weapon against him. If he grumbles, the dealer floods the auction rooms

with a hundred or so of his masterpieces at one go, and gives all his acolytes, orders not to bid. The pictures sell, at five cents, and the artist is done for,' As I said before, if onehalf of these 'revelations' be true, the art world la mostly composed of knaves and the amateur of fools." - The beauty and hardness of amber have long' caused it to be esteemed by smokers. In Turkey as much as $1,500 is often given for a single mouthpiece. " Its value differs according'to the tint and opacity. The most valuable is the opaque lemon colored. The rarest- piece is a cube of amber belonging to the shah of Persia. It is supposed by devout Moslems . to ft
