CLAIMS WIRELESS

HUMAXK OFFICER APPEALS TO
GOVERNMENT FOR THE PRO

GERED BY WIRELESS STATION
United Press Service
SAN DIEQO, Calif., April 38.
Humane Officer Mutters today seat a
formal appeal to the government to
make Its big wireless station at Point
Loma stop killing pelicans.
Pelicans used to be thick in San
Diego harbor. Now there are only a
few of them. Mutters Is sure the
powerful radio waves which the sta
tion sends out do the mischief.
He says he has seen scores of birds
suddenly stricken In mid air fall dead
Into the water. The waves might be
toned down, he thinks, so as to do less
damage.

said Project Manager J. G. Camp of

The latest solution offered for the

say that the cost would be Terr slight,
as the city water mains are already

Will Change
Names Suggested by Matthews Go Before Cooncil
The changing ot names ot Klamath
Falls streets waa the' text of a reso
lution Introduced at lost night's meet-
tug of the council by Councilman Mat
thews. It was tabled for further con
sideration. The object ot the resolution Is to
prevent a repetition ot names In dif
ferent parts of tbe city, and the con
tinuing of streets under the one name,
Instead of making frequent changes
and Jogs from their strait route. The
changes recommended follew:
West Klamath Falls Pacific street
to Tule street; Bridge street to Main
street: West Main street to South
Riverside street; Mill street to North
Riverside street; High street to Canal
street; Paul, Illinois and Park streets
to Rogers street; Kentucky and West
street to Qeorgla street.

"We can only say that we are hopeful.

say the mediators.
Following this comes the recoacll-
'ing or questions mat are apparently
'irreconcilable.
If a strong man Is developed In
Mexico, mediation may succeed. It Is
admitted that Huerta, Villa sad Car
ranza ate to be eliminated, yet none
can command the support of the peo
ple unless he has been partisan.
t rur tuia reason me mediators are
watching tho lessor factional leaders
In the hopes that one of them may
succeed.
It Is learned that America Is to be
magnanimous, but Wilson Insists oa
the elimination of Huerta, and the
guarantee of an actual constltutlomal
government. It is hardly probable
that he will press demands ot Indem
nity for the death of the marines at
Vera Crux.
