Frederick had been indicted for murder in the| second degree in connection with the death of Walter Henry, colored, last Christmas day. Four years in the penitentiary was the sentence imposed on Frank Gas- kins and John Hughes, both colored, for an assault with a dangerous weapon. They were convicted of at- tacking Ralph Johnson, colored, with a razor February 17 last during a quarrel over a girl. Because he would not spend 2 cents for a stamp to report to Probation Officer Steele by mail from Baltimore when requested, Earl Tucker, a drug addict, will spend five years in the penitentiary. Tucker had been on probation under a suspended sentence of five years, but persisted in failing %o report as required by the terms of his probation. Justice Siddons re- voked the probation and sent Tucker to prison. i INDORSES CAPPER BILL. Education Commissioner Says Best Minds Favor Measure. Federal Commissioner of Education John J.

The department wants to learn how many pairs of birds actually nest within the se- lected area where the count is made. Birds that visit the area only for feeding purposes must not be counted. “Several kinds of counts are needed for a study of the relative abundance of birds under changing and station- ary conditions. Tt is hoped that many persons interested In bird life will make one or more counts this season. If only one count is made the tract selected should represent average farm conditions, for the locality should not have an undue amount of woodland or orchard: and should con- tain not less than forty acres a quar- ter of a mile square nor more than ecighty acres. Third Fourth Counts. The department suggests to lovers of bird life counts of nesting birds where some definite area of woodland, which is part of a large timbered tract, is em- braced, and that it might be ‘well to select new areas where physical con- ditions are not likely to change for a number of years, so0 that if succeed- ing_annual counts show changes In bird population it will be known that they are not due to changed environ- ment brought about by man. On the other hand, there is much to be learned Tegarding the adoption of birds to changes of environment. Any area, therefore, on which reports can be made year after year may be chosen, even though conditions are likey to change. —————e e ASK BUS EXTENSION.
