EXTENSION OF DUCK SHOOTING SEASON Mrs. E. H. Blashfield Says It Means Practical Extermination of Wild' Birds. ATTACKS BILL IN LEGISLATURE Appeals to Senator Roosevelt to Use His Influence to Have It Killed.

Mrs. E. H. Blashheld, the wite of the well-known artist, has written a. letter to Senator Franklin Roosevelt urging Jim to take a stand against Senate Bill No.

9, which extends the shooting sea: 800 for wild duck in Long Island 10 April 1. This letter, which presents the objections to the bill with force and brevity, is part of a campaign for the protection of native birds, which is now being waged under the direction of T. Gilbert Pearson, the secretary of the National Association of Audubon Societies trom the organization's headquarters, 141 Broadway, Manhattan. Mr. Pearson, in a widely circulated appeal for general support, calls attention to the effect which such letters have on au Assemblyman or Senator.

"Last winter," he says, our bill Wa6 up for passage, one Assemblyman, in a speech, stated on tlie floor of the Assercely that he had received over 100 letters from his constituents asking him 10 vote for this bill, which the Audobon Socier; earorated, and he gave that as his yeason for favoring it." Mrs. Biashfeid's letter to Senator! Roosevelt is 26 follows: Mrs. Blashfeld's Letter. "A bill is now presented (Senate Bill No. 9, Assembly Bill No.

2). for consideration in the Assembly, extending the shooting season for wild 1 duck in Long Island to the first of April. "This means practically the extermina1-on of these birds, and is AS unwise as is unsportsmanlike. In all countries that preserve their natural resources the mating season is the closed season. AL os this time the birds are less shy, and more easily destroyed.

They also not in flesh, or in proper condition to eat. A year or two of ary and March shooting will wipe out the wild duck in Long Island. Too many of our American fauna have been deastroyed selfishly and improvidently for immediate proft of a few dealers in plumage, or unwholesome, cold- -storage game. bill 1s an offense to all lovers of nature. "It tends to increase the supply of.

unsanitary food. "It legalizes the destruction of native birds already sadly diminished in numbers. "It is ole legislation in favor of the interests the few against those of the abany. "To sacrifice 0110 of our natural resources is surely bad public economy, and you as one of the guardians of our national wealth share the responsibility for its waste and loss. "Will you not then use your influence, and protest against this unjust and unwise bill? 1 Yours very respectfully, "Mrs.

E. H. BLASHFIELD." Mr. Pearson, in his circular, also calls attention to Assembly Bill No. 359, introduced by A.

J. Levy of New York City, which, he says, too, "is most vicious, and should be defeated at all hazards" will," he says, "not only repeal in effect the splendid Shea White Plumage law. enacted last year, but by substitution of the words 'native birds' in Section 98 of Chapter 256 of the Law of 1910 will, it appears, open the way for the sale of the plumage of many birds heretofore protected." Senate Bill No. 513. Secretary Pearson says.

is worthy to become a law. It prohibits the sale of game in New York. and "would do more for the protection of the game birds of New York State then any other game law on the statute books." EASTERN DISTRICT'S GROWTH. Strong Sermon on the Need of Local Pride by the Rev. Ulysses Grant Warren.

Growth of the Eastern District, Religious and Otherwise," was the subject of the sermon preached the Rev. U. G. Warren, pastor of the United Congregational Church, Lee avenue and looper street, yesterday morning. Among other things, he said: In speaking of the Eastern District, one might talk for an entire day and then leave more things unsaid than he had said.

It is a section of the city vast in size, numerous as to people and great in possibilities. The opportunity afforded for religious work alone is tremendous. When oue says "church work in the Eastern District is limited" he is taking great liberties with the truth. When one says "church work in the Eastern District 18 Jard" he is not 80 from the facts in the case. But the church problems in every section of this great cosmopolitan city are complicated and difficult.

We have some of the people and problems that belong to the Vatican and the Greek church without the authority of these institutions. We have alarmists, revolutionists, socialists, anarchists and heathen, and all the heathen have not come from the other side either. We have men coming here who would gladly slay the life of the very nation to which they 1col. for liberty and protection, and before they can speak our language they begin to jabber out against our laws, and with such material as this to work on how can you expect to have a company of angels in a few generations? The Eastern District hag its share, but only its share. With all of this great conglomerated mass of humanity the churches of this section have the greatest opportunity.

This church has always been a large factor in the religious life of the Eastern District. It was the first in the field that is, still doing business at the old stand. It was organized in May, 1853, when what is now great city blocks on all sides then was agricultural fields stretching away for miles. This church has sent some men and women forth into the fields of human activity who have done some great work for their country, their church and their God. May this history inspire us to g0 forth to do a larger work still, and may we yet render great service to the unchurched element of the Eastern District and help to bring the Kingdom of God into their hearts and homes.

We number something like 1,000,000 people over here in Williamsburg. In point we larger than many Population. Union, and it we would but lift up our voices in matters political, ethical and educational it could be heard throughout the length breadth of thig city. Who is going to help the Eastern District to obtain its rights in subway mattere, political affairs and the prominence and prestige which it deserves in all things? No one. Every, section of the is loking out for itself and we must same.

You all know it 18 impossible to help one who will make no effort own behalf. The Broadway ferries are to be opened. The subway will run under Broadway, or will be trouble. With great industries in our midst, magnificent schools and libraries and a newspaper modern in spirit, big in outlook, full of local patriotism, this section is the home of men who are second to none in brawn and brain, and like Jerusalem of old will return to the days of former glory and prosperity at no distant time. this great work is to be done.

it must be done by those to whom old Williamsburg is near and dear. It must be a service of patriotism and enthusiasm and perhaps of sacrifice. Your attitude toward local conditions must be optimistic. You cannot afford to go around talking about how things "used to be." On the basis of the many tales I have heard about what Williamsburg "used to 'be." I conclude that it was 2 regular Paradise let down from Heaven above, and that its people were saints whose robes were whiter than those of the apostles of Jesus. But I don't believe all 1 hear about the pact.

We have a great many of the old people left among us still, and I find in their midst as many sinners as do saints. From a standpoint of the Eastern District we are not interested in the past to any large extent. Of course, it is a comfort to have a good history. But we are interested in the present and in the future. I don't know what happened around here twenty or thirty years ago, and what is more I don't care, but am immensely interested in what is going to happen around here this year and next year.

Are business men interested in what happened in their bustness twenty years ago? Not one -tenth as much 88 what is going to happon this year and next. Let us not live In the past. but in the present and future, and then our talents, energies and the whole reach of our infuence will be a blessing to the onward march of lite, politic. civic. domestic and religions in the Eastern District.

Neil Burke, former sewer commissioner of of the Borough of Queens, is having a $25,000 residence built on Chicago avenue, Elmhurst. Do you realize what the Bush TerManufacturers minal The is? It is a below -an does industrial show city. picture not it Wholesalers all, because it covers so much territory that no picture CAN show it all. 00.00 The Bush Terminal covers two hundred acres--about thirty city. blocks.

To vizualize its size, think of the distance between 14th St. and 44th Manhattan. Remember, you ride up Broadway, come to 23rd go on up and up and up, and then the car stops for a minute at 34th St. Then comes a rather lengthy ride to 42d St. Fourteenth street seems quite a long way off by this time, doesn't it? Well, the Bush Terminal is a pretty big place.

It is the sort of city you need for your factory or to carry your open and closed stock in. There are no city ordinances regulating its streets of the sort which hamper your business in Manhattan. Bush Terminal streets are private streets, laid out for you and your business. It is a wholesale purchase of land and facilities, rail, water, cartage, labor, power, light, building, everything you can use, and you get it in a wholesale way. You wouldn't buy your raw material or your piece goods, or your supplies in a retail way, would you? Yet you buy retail facilities and pay retail prices for them.

With four thousand of the Nation's Standard merchants buying Bush Terminal facilities, they can be sold in a wholesale way. We sell you--and four thousand othersfloor space at a wholesale price. The same floor space would cost you over $2.00 per square foot if you should rent it in the retail way you rent your present quarters. Think that over. Would You Like to Own a Railroad? You do when you rent factory space or distributing space, or storage space at the Bush Terminalat least you own the facilities of as much of a railroad as your business can use.

The Bush Terminal has a railroad, a private line, fully equipped, with about 25 miles of trackage. This is in addition to the miles of tracks of other roads which run into the Bush Terminal plant. Now if you owned a railroad 25 miles long, winding about your factory or stock rooms, you would get a fine young. Traffic Manager for about $15,000 yearly (and there are few left) and work with him for five or seven years, making traffic arrangements with all the railroads which enter New York City, wouldn't that. you could ship on all these lines.

You would spend a few millions for track connections, rolling stock, car barns, freight yards, loading platforms, wouldn't you? Well, the Bush Terminal makes you a present of all that. Help yourself. Just think of the wasteful retail way in which you buy powerelectric or steam, whether you buy it from others or make it yourself. The Bush Terminal plant uses about 200,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per month. It will sell you one dollar's worth per month, or one sand dollars' worth per month at the same rate--a flat rate--wholesale.

It uses and sells steam the same way. Come to the Bush Terminal, where you belong, and get your power wholesale. Want Some FREE Water Front You can't afford to buy or rent water front property, can you? You would very much like to rent a building right on the Chelsea for half the price you pay for your present location now, wouldn't you? You CAN'T buy it at any price because it's all gone, and the fellows who have it mean to keep it. Well, the Bush Terminal has saved a mile of it for your Help yourself. If you had water-front you would, want to build a lot of fine long so that you could get the steamship lines, which go to the ports you use, to dock right at your door.

You realize perfectly well that water transportation is much cheaper than rail. You would spend several million dollars building the piers and many heartbreaking years trying to get the steamship lines to leave their present berths to come to your piers. Never mind all that trouble and expense, the Bush Terminal has built the piers for you and brought the steamship lines there for you. Help yourself. The Bush Terminal has been building these facilities for you for sixteen years, and it has put in for you a fleet of tugs, car floats, lighters and barges, which would cost you millions to build and maintain.

You remember the controversy, just closed, about lengthening the Chelsea piers, don't you? You remember that they were only 800 feet long, and that some of the whopping big new boats are to be 1,000 feet long, so that one end of the boat would stick out beyond the end of the pier, like a sore toe, when docked. Well, the Bush Terminal piers are 1,300 to 1,400 feet long that's the sort of facilities we give you. You see we have anticipated your needs for many, many years to come. Help yourself. The Bush Terminal has seven of these piers, the finest in the harbor, except the new city piers immediately adjoining.

There is 270 feet width of water between our piers. Seventeen leased Steamship lines, and any number of transients dock: at them. It's putting it mildly to say that these facilities are offered you at wholesale rates--they are facilities which do not exist elsewhere. Help yourself. A Million- Dollar Factory at Your Present Rental or Less.

Now suppose you decided to give up your present location, and build a plant or building for storing and distributing stock. You would want to build a modern one of concrete and steel, wouldn't you? You would want it absolutely fire-proof, wouldn't, A FIFA HT AT AT AT AT AT ARE AT FF RIFF HA BE HE SE IF FF AF HE FF HE RE ARE A -LAud BE NE HE HE FF TE HE HE WE HA RE TE A Here is one small corner of the Bush Terminal. Note the enormous Model Loft Buildings, each 700 feet long and only 75 feet wide. They are built of reinforced concrete and have the fire protection of an $800,000 sprinkler plant. They are practically walled with glass, and because of this and their narrowness are so light that you cannot begin to appreciate it until you see them.

Does this give you an idea of the extent of this enormous industrial development? The six Model Loft Buildings above occupy only one small corner of it--the entire plant is two hundred acres in extent. I Well, we shall have just such! a model factory and loft building finfished by April 15-a duplicate of the standard twin buildings we have been erecting in recent years. This building cost a million. It is tected by a sprinkler system which cost $800,000 to install. That's buying for you on a wholesale scale, isn't it, and selling to you on a wholesale scale when we rent you space for your factory or stock room at a rental much lower than you pay now in an obsolete, old-fashioned building with no facilities at all.

These buildings of ours are 700 feet long and only 75 feet wide, and they are practically walled with glass and are as light in the centre as your present building is right at its windows. They are divided into sections of sizes and we can give you as little as 5,800 square feet or as much as 000 square feet ALL ON ONE FLOOR. You can readily see how this one feature will save you thousands of dollars in payroll charges over your present method of operating on several floors and moving goods up and down from floor to floor, wasting the time of the employes moving the goods and when- disorganizing others on each floor ever the goods are moved. these Perhaps you say to yourself, "Yes, are fine buildings and the Bush Terminal is a fine place for SOME concerns, but not for MY business." Why, bless your heart, we have rented space in these same new buildings your competitors and to a number of concerns who operate just as you operate in lines of business very similar to your own. These two new buildings to be finished April 15th are seven-tenths, leased to-day, and as you should know by this time our buildings have always been leased before completion.

It doesn't seem possible when you look about your neighborhood and other neighborhoods and see the TO LET signs thicker than office boys at a baseball game, does it? That's what comes of doing things in a wholesale way. Look sharp, Sir, or you will have to wait for the next group to be finished during January, 1912, before you can operate in wholesale way and save money in wholesale sums. incoming rail shipments on your floor in the same way--no cartage bills to pay. So you see we give you shipping facilities which don't exist anywhere and give them to you in a wholesale way because we have wholesale freight movement of 96,000 TONS a month, which makes it possible. Help yourself.

At the lower end of the Bush Terminal Plant, as the picture above shows, are 122 Warehouses, and FULL warehouses--remember that. They are sprinkled, too, and connected by railroad tracks. The freight car of EVERY line goes to the of every warehouse. There is a very large volume of goods moving in and out over the railroads from the piers and warehouses of the Bush Terminal. The amount is over 96,000 tons a month.

This is what makes possible the service from our big Loft Buildings. This is why you can just press the elevator button in the space you select on any floor, and by that one movement make a shipment at once without delay over any railroad line and with NO CARTAGE CHARGES TO PAY, because the door. You know we take the shipfreight car of every line co comes to the ments from your floor, put them in the elevator, give you a bill of lading, load the freight car at the door and the car on its way at the New York freight rate. We deliver your The Bush Terminal cuts off your cartage bill on incoming and outgoing rail to $7,000 saved there. The Bush Terminal reduces your insurance rate to 10 cents or to 20 cents per to $6,000 saved there.

The Bush Terminal cuts off a great deal of your labor charges porters, elevator men, watchmen, firemen, shipping to $7,000 saved there. It saves you on rent, on floor space- -no telling how much, till your needs are to $12,000 yearly. It saves you on power, light, heat on other items because everything is wholesale and everything is just what you need. Don't you want us to send you a reproduction of a letter from Faulkner, Page big dry goods merchants, showing how we save them $13,997 per year when their rent with us is only This gives them a good deal better than free rent, doesn't it? Don't you want us to send you the story of the gigantic operations of the United Cigar Stores who use an entire floor with us as a distributing plant? It shows you HOW they opaerate in a scientific way, and HOW they save money by it. It gives you an insight into the scientific management which enables them to offer you a value in everything you buy from them which it is impossible for you to get elsewhere.

WHY they sell you by far the best smokes in the world for the money. Don't you want us to mail you a file of letters from many different tenants of the Bush Terminal covering almost every line of business, yours among them; letters showing how our facilities enable them to save a great deal of money, and to DO A GREAT DEAL MORE BUSINESS?
