SEMITE Halt Tariff Amendment That Would Admit Plumage From All Species Outside America. CHATTANOOGA, Aug;. 30.—On the very spot that veterans of the Con federacy celebrated their twenty-third annual reunion just three months ago the Grand Army of the Republic will hold its forty-seventh encampment, and the land on which the meeting takes place has been hallowed by the blood of men who wore the gray and soldiers of the blue. For the first time since the close of the struggle between the States the Grand Army holds Its encampment on Southern soil. It is regarded hr typically fitting that the place is Chattanooga, around which many of the most spectacular battles were fought. It is held as no less fitting that the time will he September 19-20, the fif tieth anniversary of the battle of Chickamauga. whig! came so near halting the invasion of the South by the Army of the Cumberland. Great Reception Planned. Chattanooga has made mammotn preparations for the entertainment of the veterans of the blue. As soon as the Confederate reunion cloved last Friends of bird protection won a victory In the Senate, when the feath er provision In the tariff bill was re ferred to the Finance Committee for further consideration after that com mittee had amended it to permit the admission of feathers of all birds killed as pests and feathers of game birds The provision originally barred feathers of all wild birds, except os trich feathers, and feathers of do mestic poultry. “Inasmuch as practically all birds are killed as pests In some parts of the world, due to ignorance of their value, and as most birds are like wise killed as game birds, somewhere or other, by different races of men, the pa-sage of --his amendment would remove protection from all the birds of the world which live beyond our bounds." declares James H. Rice, Jr., field agent of the Audubon Society. “The Audubon Society seeks to bring about such legislation in all civ. lllsed countries as will prohibit the use of feathers taken from any W'ild bird as an article of commerce Insects' Toll a Billion. “The United States loses $1,000.- 000,000 yearly through harmful in sects, Georgia $40,000,000, and birds ure the only check to the insects It requires 250,000 bushels of insects a*, day to feed the birds of Georgia. In sects are largely migratory. The boll weevil came from Guatemala; the cabbage butterfly from the Malay Ar chipelago; the gypsy moth from Eu rope. “The destruction of bird life In any part of the world will affect every other part, because the insects, if not checked, will multiply enormous ly and must migrate for food. Kill 300,000.000 in Year. “The objection to the slaughter yearly of 300,000,000 birds for their plumage becomes stronger by reason of the fact that most of the birds whose plumage is used in commerce are killed during the nesting season, when they are tame and their plum age has an added luster. Many, like the snowy heron, known as aigrettes, have a special nuptial plumage bridal dress. “8o heavy has been the agricultural loss of the world that every civilized government has been forced to pass laws conserving the birds within their boundaries."

Municipality Adopts Charter Plac ing Responsibility for Affairs on One Man’s Shoulders. DAYTON, AUK. SO—Following the adoption of the decidedly new form of city government, Dayton Is now looking about for a competent man to asiume the position of "City Man ager," upon whom will devolve the whole duty of managing the affairs of the municipality when the charter becomes operative next January. In addition to the City Manager, the charter provides for five commission ers, but their duties will be purely legislative. There Is no diffus'on of responsi bility as seen in the straight commis sion plan where each commissioner Is in active charge of a department. Tt complete the balance of power, tha people are given the right to the ini tiative, referendum, protest and re call. An intergral part of the Dayton plan of government is the short non partisan ballot and the elimination of ward lines. At the same time a long list of petty offices are taken off the ballot and made appointive. Undpr the new plan the commissioners are chosen for a four-year term, half of the body being elected every two years. This feature of concentrating responsibility In the hands of a few men was desperately fought by all of the old party machines. The administration of the city Is divided Into five departments, the heads of which are appointed by the Manager. Ail remaining city officers are subject to civil service appoint ment. A unique feature is the creation of a department of socle’ welfare, which, in addition to supervising the depart ments of health, parks and play grounds, must make Inquiries into the causes of poverty and disease In the city, and make recommendations to the legislative body. The new charter Is also unusual in providing for the complete adminis trative machinery of the city, de signed in harmony with the most ad vanced ideas of city management. Plans are made for a sclentlflc bud get, complete auditing of city ac counts. a modern accounting system, purchasing agent, standardisation of city supplies, time and service records and many other advances. These in novations are the result of investiga tions made by the Charter Commis sion into the government of New York, Philadelphia ..nd Cincinnati. The new charter will take effect January 1, 1914. The charter is said to be the most advanced ever adopted by an Ameri can city. Dayton Is the first city of any size in the country to acquire a city manager, and the first to com bine the best features of the old com mission plan with the manager idea.
