BROWNSVILLE, Texas, March 25.-
Texas' bird sanctuaries, set aside by
the last Legislature in Cameron and
Kleberg counties, bid fair to become
world renowned among naturalists In-
as much as one species that exists in
no other part of the United States and
several species that are very scarce,
have been found there.
J. Gilbert Pearson, president of the
National Association of Audubon So-
cieties visited the sanctuaries recently.
The "bird cities" are located on Green
Island. on North and South Bird Is-
land and on the Three Islands—all
small bodies of land in the Laguna
Madre.
Among the birds that seek refuge
on these islands ar® bluebills. teals,
mallards, redheads and canvasbacks.
The wild birds. according to Mr Pear-
son, apparently realise that they are
safe on their reservation. for they re-
•main unruffled and unfrightened by
visitors or noises that otherwise would
frighten them away.
(Jame birds not found elsewhere in
the United States live in this section.
The islands are distant from human
habitation and rarely are visited by
hunters. There are no predatory ani-
mals on the islands to destroy the
eggs.
Green Island at high tide has not
more than twelve acres of ground and
thirty to forty acres at low tide It
is about thirty miles south of Corpus
Christi, and North and South Bird Is-
land* are a little further south.
There is a large number of royal
tern and laughing gulls on Green Is-
land and a colony of brown pelicans
on South Bird Island, according to vis-
itors. Other birds on South Island
include Ward’s heron. Reddigh egret,
Louisiana heron and Great Tail grackle.
On North Bird Island Mr. Pearson
found white pelicans, a bird he said
the Audubon societies wanted to con-
serve, and several varieties of falcons,
which, he said, were found no place
elsewhere in the United tSates. The

WASHINGTON, March 25.—With
the four-power Pacific treaty itself
ratified by a margin of four votes over
the necessary two-thirds, administra-
tion leaders hoped to see Senate ac-
’ tion on the pact completed today by
ratification of the supplemental treaty
reserving purely domestic issues from
the scope of the agreement.
Shut off from debate yesterday, how-
ever, by the agreement for voting on
the treaty, opponent* of the four-power
pact were prepared to renew their as-
sault when the supplemental declara-
tion came up for ratification today.
This was called up immodiately after
the final vote oa the four-power treaty
late yesterday, but consieration was
put over until today's session, when
Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas,
announced that he desired to present
and discuss an amendment to the su-
plement pact it was understood he
would seek to amend the latter so that
the island of Sakhalin, occupied by
the Japanese, would be excluded from
th® scope of the four-power agreement.
More than twenty unsuccessful at-
tempts to qualify Senate action by
reservations or amendments distaste-
ful to the administration were made by
the irreconcilable element yesterday
before the treaty was ratified by the
final vote of 67 to 27. Th® only reser-
vation adopted was the "no alliance**
declaration proposed by the foreign
relations committee and accepted by
President Harding, which carried by
a vote of 90 to 2. On the ratification
roll call twelve Democrats voted for
the treaty and only four Republicans
opposed it.

ing rate*.that were thought excessive
and unfair.
After going through tables of figures
showing revenues and expenditure* of
the city water and light department,
Mr. Baldwin pointed out that the plant
receives pay for only 33 per cent of its
total water production and only 61 per
cent of its total electric production.
The -report of the committee revealed 1
the fact that the operating expenses
of the plant for the fiscal year ending
August 31, 1921, were $307,090 and that
an additional expenditure of $30,000
for the peration of newer service
brings the total expenditure for 1922
up to $337,000. •
It was also pointed out that the city
faces the situation of having to pay
out $100,900 to retire bonds of the
water and light department that fall
due on July 1. 1922
Following are the recommendations
made by the committee investigating
the present high water, light and
power rates:
1. The committee favors the present
type of power rates embracing a
charge for demand as well as one for
energy used. It recommends, however,
that the minimum charge b® applied
on the basis of the maximum demand
of the customers in any one month
rather than the horsepower capacity
of the connected load. The committee
also recommends that thirty hours’ use
of the maximum demand at the regu-
lar rates be used, instead of the 5 per
cent as at present, for all motor loads
over ten horsepower in capacity. This
adjustment will equalise the charges
between the smaller and the larger
power consumers.
2. The committee recommends that
steps be taken to ascertain with some
degree of accuracy the actual cost of
producing the' kilowatt.
3. The committee recommends a
eo-r-te-t e--oy for the nurpono of
ascertain whether a higher degree
of efficiency of plant operation may
not be secured.
4. The committee strongly recom-
mends that the loose method of off-
settings public service against interest
charges on the plant bonds be re-
formed. so that strictly public service
be paid for by publi, moneys and the
plant be required to pay the legitimate
charges for its own support.
Concerning the need of a bond issue
to make needed improvements imme-
diately, the committee clearly pointed
out that such a bond issue would not
be levied against the taxpayers of the
city, but, instead, would fall on the
consumers of water, light and power
to carry the burden. It was shown,
however, that such a bond issue should
be welcomed by Austin citizens, since
it will not Increase the amount that
the consumer* are already called on
to pay, but would reduce the imme-
diate payments by drawing them out
over a ten-year period instead of com-
pelling th® total indebtedness incurred
by needed improvements to be liqui-
dated immediately.
It was shown that in the event of
such a bond issue carrying, th® pres-
ent deficit existing in th® water and
light department could- be liquidated
within one year’s time with the present
rates for water, light and power now
in force.

mended the committee for its investl-

IDLANPOLIS, lad.. March 25-.
President John L. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers of America, today gave
hi* interpretation of the miners’ de-
mand for a six-hour day, five day
week, being a part of any new wage
agreement affecting the soft coal in-
dustry. In a formal statement he
said:
"There has been so much misunder-
standing among the people as to the
real meaning of the position of the
United Mln® Workers of America with
regard to the proposed six-hour day
and five-day week that I believe some-
thing should be said that would set
the public right on the subject. It has
been charged by coal operators that
the miners are demanding more pay
for lees work The principle of the
shorter work day does not mean any-
thing of the kind. They do not ask
for the six-hour day as the maximum,
but they do ask that they be given
reasonable assurance that they will
have reasonably stedy employment six
hours a day throughout the year.
"Under present conditions the min-
er* work eight hours a day only a
small part of the time each year. In
1921 they were employed only about
40 per cent of full time and were Idle
60 per cent of the time. They were
employed only an average of about
135 days in 1921, out Of the 300 or more
work days of the year. They cannot
make a living for their families under
such conditions. Last year they
earned an average of approximately
$700 per man.
"The bituminous mines of the coun-
try have a capacity of 700,000,000 to
800,090.090 tons a year. In normal
times the demand* is for approxirnate-
ly 500.900,000 tons a year. If the min-
ers had reasonably steady employment
they could and would easily produce
in a six-hour day enough coal to fill
every possible requirement. If it can
be done in a six-hour day, why should
miners be required to work eight hours
a day only a part of the time?
"Many years ago miners were com-
pelled to work ten, twelve or more
hours a day, and when they made
their fight for a shortening of the
work day to eight hours they were met
with the same kind of fight they are
now facing in their request for a six-
hour day. But they won, and the
country has had all the coal it could
use ever since.

crow, nor is it a menace to th® coun-
try. as some employers would have us
believe. It is simply a humane prin-
ciple."
MYSORE, India, Feb. 19. (by mail to
the Associated Press.)—The wild hunt
witneesed here by the Prince of Wale*
was one of the most, picturesque and
exeiting of the numerous events ar-

exciting part of the hunt.
Mounted on an elephant and accom-
panted by th® Maharajah, th® prince

wild inhabitants of the jungle were
