AFTER BIRD BUTCHERS
NEW YORK, June lS.-That
whole regions of the Florida ever
glades have within the last three
years been robbed of every vestige
of bird life to supply the world's mil
linery market with the plumage of
the heron that formerly bred there
in countless numbers was reported
here to-day. From several ornitho
logists, who have just completed a
survey of this section, reports have
been sent to the headquarters of the
National Association of Audubon
Societies declaring that where Ameri
ca was most rich in tropical races of
birds it is totally barren to-day. At
this rate of devastation, it is asserted,
the plume hunters will leave this
country entirely stripped of all its

Detailed reports of the discovery of
"wonderful rookeries of the small
blue herons and of white birds with
brilliant red legs and beaks probably
ibis" in the regions where the Harney
River enters the everglades were
sent to the Audubon officials on
March 27th, 1905. At the time an ex
ploring party described the tropical
birds in these unknown parts as
"countless" and expressed apprehen
sion that their discovery might lead
to some inroads by the world's army
of professional bird butchers. Since
the first word of this find came to the
ears of the millinery marauders, allj
live feathered creatures have been
exterminated throughout the entire
region. ' '
To balk the world-wide activities
of the nrofessional nhime hunters.
whose forces have reached and de
spoiled America's rarest resorts, Eng
land is already taking firm steps.
From end to end the British Empire
lias been ravaged as Florida has by
the market feather seekers. A bill ;
similar to the "model law", which the j
Audubon workers have succeeded In
leading almost every state in this
country to adopt, is to-day being
pressed by Lord Averbury in ' the
House of Lords for the prohibition of
the importation of the plumage, skin
or body of all wild birds except ostri
ches, eider ducks and birds used as
articles ' of diet. Acting upon the
startling reports from Florida, the
Audubon officials ) declared to-day
that laws against the sale of the
trophies of this butchery, irrespective
of where they were taken, would be
urged throughout this country, Al
though the English bill is even more

sweeping than the Audubon "model
law" here, it is believed that with
proper entorcement the latter may
serve to stay the encroachment of the
international commercial bird slaugh
ter. Eventually it is the purpose of
the association to perfect an interna
tional organization to check this
scouring of the globe for the adorn
ment of the nations at the expense of
their birds l'fe.

Dutcher, president of the National
Association of Audubon Societies at
its headquarters, 141 Broadway, to
day. "The primary reasons are strict
ly economic. These birds, entirely
aside from their wonderful delights
as objects of beauty, form the basis
of our nation's health as well as pros
perity. What the street cleaning de
partment is to this metropolis the sea
birds are to the whole country. As
their activities as scavengers are
checked by unnatural destruction,
pestilence and death will surely fol
low. The birds stand at the founda
tion of all cur natural resources and
our very existence as well. To take
up this hard fight against the monied
interests that are killing our country's
birds we need the individual support
miral and financial of every man,
woman and child in the country, It
is reported that we have been endow
ed with a million dollars; but this is
untrue, as we depend solely upon the
interest of less than a third of this
sum, and the annual five dollar bills
of our sustaining members. Many
