NEW YORK, Aug. 2C Charges by the Bar association against George Al fred Lamb, who was attorney in the Peter Power proceedings against the Northern Pacific Jtallroad company, were sustained today by George B. Ab bott, a referee, to whom the matter had been referred. The referee's report has been filed with the appellate division of the Supremo court. Referring to the Northern Pacific stock alleged to have been the property of Power, the ref eree said: "The certificate was never assigned to Peter Power, so far as anything appears on its face, nor was It ever de livered to him. It does not appear that any consideration for any stock of said corporation ever passed from Power to Lamb, to Wejdenfeld or any body else. The whole proceedings to my mind savors of fraud, deceit and duplicity." The referee summarized the testi mony at considerable length and reached this concluslpn: "I think the conclusion can hardly be established that such action and con duct on the part of a duly practicing at torney was gross unprofessional con- ,i.,f nml mnlnrno.tleo. which wns hltrhlv reprehensible and more calculated to defeat than to further the ends of jus tice." The appellate division, which will pass upon the referee's report, will not resume lis regular sessions until Octo ber The Peter Power suit was brought to test the legality of the merger of the Northern Pacific Railroad company, the Great Northern Railway company and the Chicago, Burlington &i Qulncy Railway company.

An Expert Now at Work en Her Country Estate. Will Breed. Martins and Swallows for Purpose of Exterminating Mosquitoes. ROXBURY, N. Y., Aug. 26. Active steps are being taken under the per sonal direction of Miss Helen Gould to make her estate here a paradise for birds. Under the supervision of Col. Isaac W. Brown of Colorado more than 100 nests are being built as an invita tion to bluebirds, swallows, robins and martins to make their homes on the grounds. Though Miss Gould's great in terest In natural history .is responsible in a measure for her new departure, there Is a further object In the experiment uoi. .tsrown lias a wiue repuiauon as "tho bird and bug man," and it is one of the first principles of the. doctrine he preaches that every bug has its na tural foe in some bird, and that to ex terminate the bug it Is only necessary to have the proper bird on hand. The dreaded potato bug and the Hessian fly, he says, practically have been ex terminated by redblrds and quail. By encouraging the breeding of the purple martin and the swallow the Colonel alms at nothing less .than the extermi nation of the mosquito. Deep Interest in His Work. Mi,fl Gould Is an acknowledged con vert to the Colonel's cause. That she- is interested In natural history has been kno,wn, and recently she lias been fol lowing the work of CoL Brown with great Interest She asked him to visit 'her In her country home here, and he has been her guest for several days. He has found Miss Gould an eager pu pil In bird culture. She ha9 taken him all over her estate, and together they have chosen the, best locations for the different- cotes and nesting places that it has been decided to establish. Col. Brown has won Miss Gould and her guests over to the belief that the first step to betaken in the war against the mosquito Is a campaign against the so-called English sparrow. This bird, which, he says, in reality Is a native of Russia, practically has exterminated the purple martin and swallow, and, as these birds were the most aggressive enemies of the mosquito, their absenco Is responsible largely for the growth of the pest If the Colonel had his way, a bounty would be placed on sparrows, since not only the martin and swal lows have been driven out by them, but quail, doves and redblrds also are on the decrease. Finds Proof in tho West. He cites experiments made recently in Indiana, where quail have been bred systematically for the last few years, with a marked diminution In the num bers of the Hessian fly and a corre sponding Improvement in the wheat crop. As for the swallows and the mos quitoes, he says that at the encamp ment on Winona lake. In Indiana, three years ago folk practically were driven out by the mosquitoes. The next year dovecotes were built for martins and swallows, with the result that this year the campers have not been molested at all by mosquitoes. The use of oil, he says, Is nonsensical, and never will have any lasting effect In driving out the pest NOTABLE jj CHICAGO, Aug.

Secretary Taft briefly re viewed the Issues and history of the parties and discussed the platforms of both parties. In a review of the ad ministration of President Roosevelt, to which the greater portion of the speech was devoted, Secretary Taft eulogized the President highly, saying: "He is not a tyrant, but ho Is a lead er. He does believe In a strenuous life. He doe3' believe In doing things. He be lieves that a man who Is given brain and muscle Is charged with the respon sibility of making the most of them and of doing as much with both as possible for his fellow men. He represents as high a type as there Is in the country of energetic American manhood. "No man ever sat in the Presidential chair more anxious to avoid war or con flict with foreign nations than he. His impulsiveness of manner and his quickness of thought and speech co exist with n. real conservatism of ac tion that makes It as certain as It was under Mr. McKlnloy, that no policy will be followed noedlcssly exposing the in terests of the country to the peril of war."
