Public Urged to Remember
Birds While Frost Lasts.
Warning Given Asralnat Spreading;
Food Where Cata May Collect.
WINTER snows are again upon the
little feathered creatures of the
city. Yesterday children of the city in
suburban districts fed the birds, and
branches of the Humane Society pro
vided food for the hungry and cold
birds that flocked about on the enow.
Snow has covered many of the usual
sources of bird food and from now on
until Spring it will be the duty of the
public to flee that the birds do not
starve. Hundreds of them were saved
last year by people who were inter
ested enough to provide for them
systematically.
Letters have been sent to officials of
parks in the northern states of America
by the biological survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture urg
ing them to co-operate in the feeding
of birds and pointing out to farmers
the value of birds to the community.
Local bird fanciers have suggested
that it will be well when feeding birds
to see that the food is put in some shel
tered place where the snow will not
cover It in a short time, and to see that
it is not put where it will have a ten
dency to collect cats to eat the birds.
Cornmeal and other meals, suet and
bread crumbs are good for the birds
and will give animal heat that will
prevent them freezing to death.

M'GINN MAKES DENIAL
NO PRIVATE LAW CASE ACCEPTED
WHILE ON BENCH, JUDGE SAYS.
Story of Retainer in Liquor Matter In
dlsrnantly Refuted Rulea of
Ethics Are Laid Do'
Indignant denial that he was plan
ning to accept any private husiness
while he still was judge of the Circuit
Court was made by Henry E. McGinn
yesterday, in contradiction of an an
nouncement that he had been retained
as counsel for the defense in a Federal
case Involving liquor traffic between
California and Oregon.
Not only is he accepting no engage
ments at the pVesent time., but he
pledges himself not to act as attorney
in the future in any case which Is now
pending in the courts.- Professional
ethics demand such a stand, he be
lieves, asserting that the commingling
of private interests with the Interests
of the public in any fashion Is-corrupt.
"I am not running a court as an ad
junct to a law practice," declared Judge
McGinn. He continued: "I have con
stantly refused, and I shall always re
fuse, while on the bench, to allow any
one to speak to me on the subject of
professional engagements to commence
after my term of office as Judge is over.
"Let me make this plain: I shall ac
cept employment from no one In any
cause pending in any court, anywhere,
which cause is pending when I retire
from this bench.
"I trust I do not have to say that
there is In this statement nothing of
mental reservation. It means all it
says and all it implies. I shall make
my own professional engagements. No
one is authorized to make them for me.

LIQUOR SALE PROVED
Edward Knepper Is Convicted
of Bootlegging by Jury.
NEW EVIDENCE IS UNDOING
Letter Telling of Purchase in San
Francisco Is Found in Raid on
Another Place, Under Sus
picion of Officials).
Edward Knepper. who served ginger
ale highballs as well as sauer kraut
at his delicatessen store at Stark and
Park streets, was found guilty of boot
legging by a Jury in the District Court
yesterday after a few minutes delib
eration. It was the second trial, ft for
mer Jury having disagreed. Sentence
will be pronounced tomorrow.
Knepper walked into a trap laid by
the state yesterday, and evidence not
produced at the former trial was of
fered by Deputy District Attorney
Pierce.
Among the papers seized at the d&lry
lunch of W. Margulis a short while ago
in ft raid by Special Agent Geren, of
the District Attorney's office, on the
purported local agency of a San Fran
cisco liquor firm, was a letter to Mr.
Margulis from a brother, who Is In the
liquor business in San Francisco. This
letter said among other things that
Ed Knepper had Juflt dropped In and
purchased $77 worth of wet goods and
had arranged for further orders.
Many Sales Testified.
On the stand Wednesday, Knepper
testified that he had disposed of all the
liquor stock ht; had when he closed his
saloon January 1. The Inference was
that he could not have bootlegged to
any extent with the meager monthly
allowance he might have received. The
testimony had been that many quarts
of the liquor had been sold at his store.
On cross-examination Wednesday
Knepper admitted being in San Fran
cisco at the time the letter was written.
"Did you ever go to the Margulis
liquor store In San Francisco while you
were there?" asked Deputy Pierce of
the defendant.
"Who? Me?" replied the witness.
"Yes. You."
"When?"
"In May."
"Where 7"
"In San Francisco."
"What?"
"Did you buy booze of Margulis in
San Francisco?"
"No."
Testimony la Conflicting.
"Do you know Bill Margulis of Port
land?"
"Who? Me?"
"Yes. You."
"No
This was the dialogue Wednesday
afternoon. Yesterday morning W. Mar
gulis was placed on the stand by the
prosecution. He not only identified
Knepper as an old acquaintance, but he
refused to say whether or not he had
any business dealing with Knepper for
fear he might Incriminate himself. Mar
gulls was relieved of the necessity of
testifying to this matter by Judge
Jones because he is under Indictment
in both Federal and state courts for
liquor transactions.
