VOICE OF MARS CALLING
10 EARTH MAY HAVE
KILLED FLOCK BIRDS
NEW YORK, April 18—Science ad
mitted itself baffled today when con-1
iron ted with tae story of the death oi !
lour acres of blackbirds which while
flying- over the apple orchard of the
' farm of J. L. Lippincott, in Burling
ton County, N turned up their
toes and with one faint squak of sur
prise, fell to the ground.
“‘One explanation for this unpre
cedented phenomenon," said Profes
sor John Harold Morecraft, of electri
cal engineering in the Columbia Uni
, versify, “would be that it was another
J effort of Mars to communicate with us.
Just think of what Mars must have
been trying to say.
‘“As for the idea that radio waves
might have knocked down the flock
docs not seem probable. If a bird were
to come very close, say within 100 feet
of a big radio antenna, it might get
■ a shock, but there seems to have been
! no antenna in the vicinity of Lippin
cott’s farm.
“I am not positive, however, that
radio is not to blame. Strange and un
usual things are going to come of ra
dio—more strange and more unusual
even than the stories that have come
from fishing and golf.”
Meanwhile the agents of Dr. J. B.
Litman, Director of the New Jersey
State Experiment Station at New
Brunswick, are investigating.
“‘If these four acres of blackbirds
had just happened to eat four acres
of poisonous bugs at the very same
time, they would quite possibly die all
at the same time,” said Dr. Litman.
; “Or they might have eaten beetles that
had been sprayed with poison when
farmers were spraying their fruit
trees, as they do every year. Beginning
about in February ,this is the custom.
Anyway, it’s unnatural.”
Meanwhile further verification of
the story was obtained from Mrs. M.
Kembie, housekeeper at the Lippincott
! farm. Just before the birds fell, she
J explained, those in the center were
' seen to flutter downward, as if propel
1 led by a gust of hot air from above.
Then the whole flock dropped, scatter
ing over four acres of orchard, and
many bushels of the birds were
carried off.
I None of the birds can be found now.

TITLE TO TIDE LANDS
VESTED WITH U, S.
Until Congress grants some supe
rior title than now possessed by them
the right of Indians in Alaska vested
in lands, either tideland or upland,
is merely that of occupancy, accord
ing to an opinion by John H. Edwards
solicitor for the interior department,
copies of which have been received
by Gov. Scott C. Bone. Such right
cannot be disposed of under exist
ing law.
The' question as to title of lands
occupied by Alaskan Indians was
raised by W. L. Paul, in connection
with certain tidelands near Ketchi
kan. In giving his decision Edwards
declared that the Indians of Alaska
are in the same category as other
Indians of the United States.
