While fishing for suckers on the
Delaware river last Friday, N. Y.
Evans saw a large bird struggling on
tho be. He went up to it and found
that both of its feet were frozen to
the wo. The bird was a large one,
similar in appearance to a crane.
Ho urought it to this village and after
having been examined by some of
our ornithologists it was pronounced
a blue heron. It had lpng, slim legs
and neck, a long, sharp bill and Its
wings measured six feet from tip to

this region, this being the first one
ever captured in this vicinity. De

With tho co-operation of several
of the executive departments, tho
Smithsonian Institution and of tho
Field Museum of Natural History, a
party of about ten naturalists were
sent last year to the Panama Canal
Zone. Largo collections of biologi
cal material were obtained, includ
ing specimens of a considerable num
ber of genus and species new to
science. The Republic of Panama
was so impressed with tho import
ance of the work that it invited tho
Smithsonian Institution to extend
the survey within the bounds of that
country which was done, with grati
fying results. When the Panama
Canal is completed, tho organisms

Expert Says That Arsenic in Lee's
Stomach Probably Was Injected.
Montrose. Several points wero
scored by the defense on Thursday
last in tho case of Mrs. Minnio Lee,
of Lanesboro, charged with adminis
tering a fatal dose of arsenic to her
husband, Willis Lee. Congressman
W. D. H. Ainey, Mrs. Lee's counsel,
I obtained an admission from ono of
i the prosecution's export witnesses
j that the arsenic found in tho vital
j organs of Lee might have been one
of the ingredients of the embalming
lluld used in preparing the body for
burial.
j Tho witness was Dr. John Mar
I shall, instructor of chemistry at the
university oi rennsyivania. un m
rect examination Doctor Marshall
told of analyzing Leo's stomach, kid
neys and Intestines and of tho dis
covery of arsenic In all the organs.
Tho stomach was empty when it
reached him, ho said, except for a
small quantity of fluid heavily laden
witli arsenic.
The doctor admitted on cross-ex
amination that tho drug might have
! been injected into the organs aftor
i death, and when pressed by Ainey
! he expressed an opinion that tho fluid
, in the stomach had been placed tliero
- In that manner.
; Two witnesses for the prosecution
I testified that they had purchased ar
I sonic for Mrs. Lee in Juno and July
j Inst.
Horace Bursehell said that Mrs.
Lee gave him 5 cents to got arsenic
! in Susquehanna on Juno 28, and
Fred Effnor testified that ho also
bought 5 cents worth of tho poison
1 for her on July C.
i Leo died July 10.
i The druggists' records of poison
sales contained entries, showing that
arsenic was purchased by Durscbell
and Effnor on tho dates given, "to

BERNSTORFF
AC CDAfVir
Ambassador Explains Moroc
can Mixup and Defends His
Country's Motives.
COUNT VON HEUNSTORFF, till
German ambassador to the Unit
cd States, in an nrtlclc In tin
Outlook discusses the prcsen
attitude of France and Germany to
ward one another, "with special refer
cucc to the Moroccan question." Ih
represents Germany ns being quite sat
Isflcd with the Kongo concessions oli
talncd as the result of the latest Fran
co-German agreement and Insists thai
nt no time was Germany flecking trou
ble with France by her Moroccan at
tltudc.
The action of the kaiser's govern
ment In dispatching the German cruis
or Panther to Agadlr and thus creating
a situation which amounted at one
time to n war scare, is alluded to as i
simple necessity. The article follows:
"The Moroccan question has parsed
out of its controversial stage nnd ii
now a part of history, so that we art
able to look bnck on It with an lmpar
tinl spirit nnd to Judge the alms and
results of tho German government's ac
tion with fairness a fairness whict
seemed to be sometimes lacking dur
ing the hent of the discussions.
"It is well known thnt until 19CM
England and France were contending
with each other for supremacy In Mo
rocco. Then followed the Anglo-FrcneL
agreement of April, 1004, and in tlu
fall of the same year n French banking
syndicate contracted a new large loan
with Morocco. Privileges of such ini
portance wore granted to this group ol
banks that the eventual fate of tha
cultan's empire seemed to be decided
Germany, however, intervened. The
emperor Tlslted Tangier, and n few
months later the conference of Alge
ciras was held. In fair words it pro
claimed the Independence of Morocco
nnd the sovereignty of the sultan. II
also created a multitude of provision!
and stipulated the "open door" in Mo
rocco. At the same time, however, po
lice powers were granted to France
and Spain in eight open Moroccan
ports, and, furthermore, the trenty con
cernlng the above mentioned loan wa
ratified with certain amendments.
Above all, owing to the long Algoro
Moroccan border line, the conference
could not prevent French influence in
Morocco from continuing and even In
creasing. On account of the wholly
unsettled snd untenable conditions in
Morocco which it is no use denying
opportunities for the exertion of
French Influence could not long be
wanting. In fact, the occupation oi
UJda and the bombardment ns well a?
the oecupntion of Casablanca soon fo!
lowed.
"All this could have been prevented
only If Germany had been Inclined to
restore order iu Morocco and first to
go to war, as would have boon inevi
table, with the powers hostile to such
an act on her part. The course of
events will always prove to be more
powerful than tho most perfectly
worded treaty provisions, and the Al
geeiras act could not expect to alter
the fact that Morocco and her inhabit
ants no longer in themselves possess
ed the strength to reorganize their
country. Some enthusiasts believed
that Mulai Ilafld would be able to per
form this tnsk, but they soon had to
recognize that, notwithstanding his
skill nnd ability as a statesman, he did
not hnve the power to bring about the
necessary changes without foreign as
sistance. "For the German government there
was therefore only one way open to
protect German commercial interests
in Morocco viz, by securing France's
protection of these interests. This re
sult was achieved by the Morocco
agreement of Feb. 0, 1000, which ex
pressly mentioned the Algeclras act as
Its basis. Clearly the object of this
agreement could only be to delay
French advance In Morocco ns long as
possible, so that German trnders, farm
ers and manufacturers wero in the
meanwhile under this same French
protection, guaranteed by trenty, able
to consolidate their interests in Moroc
co to such n degree thnt a French pro
tectornte could not destroy them. No
one who knew the conditions In Mo
rocco as they reiilly were and not ns
one perlinps wished them to 1k could
entertain the slightest doubt that n
French protectorate must in the course
of tlmo be established.
"This would have been considered
the natural course' of events had the
nRpect of affairs not suddenly changed
when M. Plehon retired from the
French foreign olllco and was replaced
by M. Cnippl. It seems thnt colonial
fnnntics who could not await the rip
ening of the Moroccan fruit took ad
vantage of this cliango to obtain the
consent of tho new minister of foreign
affairs for tho expedition to Fez. The
pretended danger of tho military mis
slon and of the European colony In
consequence of the reliclllon of tribes
In tho neighborhood of Fez formed a
welcome pretext. The cnpltnl was
reached, and military posts were estab
lished. "During all this time semiofficial
German newspapers had constantly re
iterated that, according to communica
tions received In Germany, the Euro
peans In Fez were not at all In dan
ger. When these hints proved to be

of no effect the North German Gazette
on April 30, 1011, nddressed n new
warning to France which could not bo
misunderstood, declnrlng that a sultan,
governing with the aid of France, no
longer represented the sovereign sul
tan ns defined by the Algeclras act
nnd thnt Germany therefore would be
entitled to resume her former free
dom of action. This wnrning was not
heeded. Events took their course, nnd
It was soon clear that the south of
Morocco would also be drawn Into the
growing unrest. In this case the se
curity of the Europeans living there
nmong them many Germans might
indeed have been in dnnger, since there
were no French troops In the south
and no forces of the sultan which
could be counted on. At any rate, sev
eral Germnn Arms feared that their
interests and their officials were in
danger nnd during the month of June
nsked the German government for pro
tection. As a consequence the German
cruiser Panther was sent to Agadir.
"The French newspapers published
during those days prove that after
having been startled at first French
public opinion very soon perfectly un
derstood the meaning of this step. F r
any one who had followed the com so
of the Moroccan question it wns in
conceivable thnt Germany should t,ud
denly wish to conquer Moroccan terri
tory. Even during the most critical
moments of the whole affair Germany
had always emphatically declared that
she pursued only economic Interests in
Morocco, nnd tills with good reason
For Germany the occupation of some
part of Morocco apart from the war
which no doubt would have ensued
could mean nothing else than n ona
nnd continual display of military force
perfectly out of proportion to the pos
sible gain. The friendship of the M
roccans for Germany naturally wo'-'-have
turned Into enmity as soon as
followed the exnmple of France an
took up the role of nn aggressor. It i
only necessary to glance at the maj
and to look at the sea route from V '
lielmshaven. in Germany, to Morocco
by way of the ISritish Isles to under
stand what it would havo meant for
Germany to send a large military fori e
to Morocco.
"As already stated, the attitude oi
Germany was soon understood in I'ar
Is. The error of the expedition t.
Fez having been made, there wn
nothing left but to bear the conse
quences nnd pay dearly for what oili
erwise in the course of time might
hnve been obtained without any sacri
flee whatever.
"There could be no doubt what pric
Germany would ask.
"On the one baud, Increased am!
precise guarantees for the mainte
nance of the open door In Morocco,
which would enable Germans to settle
and do business in Morocco in spite of
n French protectorate.
"On the other hand, a compensation
iu tho form of colonial territory,
which had nlrendy often enough been
mentioned during the earlier phases
of the Morocco affair. Frequently the
desire had been expressed in Germany
that such a step should be taken. The
j-'ovornment, however, had hesitated,
hoping that tho independence of Mo
rocco might be ninlutalned. Tills
hope was now destroyed by the force
of events, nnd Germany must be con
sidered lucky for having been nble to
return to the Idea of compensation.
"It Is well known that from the be
ginning this compensation was de
sired In the French Kongo In order to
unite as much as possible the adjoin
ing Gorman colonies on the western
co:it of Africa wore it only by form
!n',' nn economic unity through tho os
tnblishment of appropriate trad,
routes. This gonl wns reached hy thf
recent Morocco agreement botwoei
Franco ami Germany, which gave tl e
latter power access to the Kongo arl
tho Ubangh!.
"Althmich, of course, opinions mnv
differ nlKiut the value of tho territory
coded to Germany, It Is evident t'nf
Gorman commerce and Industry, fir
man miners nnd farmers, hnvo ol
tallied valuable guarantees for their
Interests In Morocco. The agreement
funilhes n powerful Instrument Ii.
the hands of the German government
enabling It permanently to pro(o
German Interests In spite of nil cu-i
trary efforts. A careful reading '
the text of t ho agreement will be con
vliielh ; In this respect. The explicit
prohibition of differential treatment
of goods Imported by foreign coun
tries, which Is of equal benefit to nil
nations. Including tho United States;
the severe rules for controlling this,
the possibility of nn nppenl to a clear
ly defined system of arbitration with
regard to claims ngnlnst Moroccan and
French authorities, the possibility of
tho construction of prlvato railways
without public competition and their
administration by private boards-- all
these provisions of tho agreement enn
not be too highly valued.
"On the whole, It CHn therefore bo
snld thnt the negotiations conducted
under the moral pressure of tho send
ing of tho Panther to Agadir led to a
satisfactory result for Germany, be
cause she avoided chasing phantoms
and tried only to reach a goal which
It wns possible for her to attain."
