BIRDS CAUGHT IN FOG
San Bernardino Aroused by Clamor
of Featliered Visitors.
PAN BERNARDINO, CaL, Oct. 3.
(Special.) A tragedy of the air occurred
here between midnight and o'clock this
morning, when thousands of birds, storm
driven from their course on a long flight
to Central America for the Winter, were
lost in the heavy fog which blanketed
this vicinity and hundreds perished by
flying blindly against trees and houses
of this city, while many more, finding en
trance to barns and outhouses, churches
and dwellings, were caught alive after
daybreak.
Never, to the memory of the oldest set
tler, has such a commotion aroused the
town as that which awakened the resi
dents as the birds settled down on the
city. Business houses and public build
ings were the first resting places and
when these were crowded, the overflow
alighted In trees and on private dwellings
and even settled in the streets.
Professor R- B. Herron, a prominent
bird man. states the majority of the
birds are Northern phalorope and night
heron.

STCRDEVAXT SAYS HE DODGES
TRIAL OF LAND CASES. '
President Gives Out Letter Showing
.Many Discrepancies Between Gov
ernor's Statements and Facts.
WASHINGTON Oct. 8. President
Roosevelt today gave out for publication
a letter received by him from W. L.
Sturdevant, of St Louis, In which the
writer declares that Governor Haskell's
statement in his letter of September 30,
regarding the latter's connection with
the Creek Indian lands, to so Imperfect
that It is entirely misleading..
The text of the letter follows:
"Dear Mr. President I notice in Gov
ernor Haskell's letter of date of Sep
tember 30, the following statement:
" 'Yes, I believe I am a defendant as
to certain Government townslte lots In
one of nearly 11,000 suits that you have
had brought against as many different
honorable and high-minded citizens of
this state during this Presidential cam
paign year, and you will not undertake
to deny that petty politics tor the pur
pose of Republiounlzing about 20.000 In
dian voters was your sole motive for hav
ing those suits brought; and I charge you
with knowing that there has been no
delay In these cases, except that occa
sioned by the court's deliberations, tak
en by himself as time he deemed neces
sary to consider whether or not there Is
any merit in the petition filed by your
attorney.'
'The above statement regarding the
townslte suits Is so Imperfect that it is
entirely misleading. All those suits in
which Governor Haskell is defendant ex
cept one, were filed In 1907, prior to the
admission of Oklahoma as a state. He Is
charged with a direct participation In the
frauds through which the Indians were
deprived of their property and the bills
seek to hold him personally liable for the
lnjurv thus Inflicted. He has not an
swered to the merits In a single case, but
all pleas filed by his answers are purely
technical and, necessarily, dilatory In ef
fect Mr. Mott attorney for the Creek
Nation, and myself, have many times
urged a hearing on the merits of the
cases, and I have personally proposed
several times to his attorneys of record
that they file answers In the case so that
a hearing might be had upon the merits
and the cases disposed of. Those sug
gestions have never met an affirmative
response and the result Is that the cases
have taken the regular course on a heavy
docket We have announced several
times In open court snd otherwise that
we are ready for an Immediate hearing
In any and all suits filed. This has been
done with a view of obtaining a speedy
adjustment of the controversies and in
order to give any person charged with a
primary liability an opportunity to ac
quit himself of such a charge, if possible,
without delay. This course could have
been pursued without any violation of ul
timate rights, as Jurisdiction over the
parties and subject matter cannot be
waived In the Federal courts; out for
reasons probably sufficient unto them,
the defendant have not approved It."
CHILD DROWNS IN BOILER
Little Tot Walks Into Receptacle
