Wild ducks which died in southern Oregon and northern California from a mysterious ailment appar ently wore the victims of a chem ical poison, rather than bacteria. said Dr. William Levin, who made examinations of two of the ducks at the state public health labor atory here. He said the examina tions so far made had failed definitely to determine the cause of the trouble, and that the exact nature of the malady might never be known. Dr. Levin said It had been definitely learned that botul inus was not the cause of the ducks' illness. One dead duck was brought from southern Oregon, and one duck suffering from the poisoning also was biuuhiit. The latter died at the laboratory. Chemical analysis of the soil of Tule lake showed the mud was heavy with hydrogen Bulphide, gas sufficiently poisonous to cause the death of tho duck.s. But whether the water also was af fected by the gas was not de termined, as samples sufficient for chemical analysis had not been sent to the state authorities, It will be some days before a final report on the matter Is sub mitted.

Washington, 0t. 21. (A. P.) Two American destroyers have been ordered from Gibraltar to Alexandria, Egypt, to remain in readiness there for use in Syrian ports should their presence becom necessary for the protection of American lives and property as a result of the revolt by tribesmen in that country. Instructions wero cabled Vic-: Admiral Roger Wells, command' ing the European squadron, after a request for the ships had be&n received here from Paul Knab shue, American consul in Beirut, Syria. State department officials arc hopeful that it will not be neces sary to move the ships from Alex andria, but in any emergency they would be within quick sailing distance of Syrian ports. Advices concerning the Syriaa disturbances show that it centers in the vicinity of Damascus. A high mountain rango separates Damascus and the Mediterranean coast and for this reason it la be lieved the revolt will not spread lo the coastal regions to threaten American life or property. Admiral Wells' flagship, tho Pittsburgh, was enroute from Cherbourg to Gibraltar when the nst ructions werq dispatched. It' is due in Gibraltar probably to day. Th? navy department left to the judgment of Admirnl Wells the ships which chould be sent to Alexandria. It is estimated that about 150 Americans are In Dumascus or the inimediatG vicinity. The majority of these, as well as of the more than 1000 American nationals in the Lebanon administrative dis trict, which Ties in the mountains between Damascus and the coist. are naturalized (Syrians who have been in the United States nnd re turned to their native country nnl who have registered with th American consulate, insuring themselves American projection. 25 T El Paso, Texas, Oct. 21.

Charlotte Anitu Whitney, club woman and civic leader, who 1b awaiting commitment to Sun Qucntin prison to serve a sentence of from one to 14 years for a vio lation of the state syndicalism act, said bore today that she would not apply for a pardon. City Attorney V. J. Locke of Alameda, who fathered the syndi calism act in the lower bouse of the legislature, while serving as a member of that body, character ized the conviction of Mrs. Whit ney as a "mistake," I am not going to ask for a pardon,'' said Mrs. Whitney. "If the governor Is disposed to pardon anyone let him liberate the poor men who are now imprisoned for a violation of this Bame law and whose guilt may be less than mine. He could more closely ap proximate justice by pardoning them than by extending a pardon to me, a woman of money and in fluence.' As Mrs. Whitney was admitted to bail on the testimony of physic ians that incarceration In a prison would be fatal to her, a group of her friends here contemplated asking the governor for a pardon that basis. Otherwise any other pardon appeal would have to be signed by the prisoner.
