Former Wife of Mellon to Wed New York Man License Issued to Mrs. Nora Mellon and Art Dealer, Who Is 14 Years Younger. New York, March 1.—Mrs. Kora Mary McMullen Mellon, 4 4, divorced wife of Andrew AA'. Mellon of Pitts, burgh, secretary of the treasury, is to be married to Harvey Arthur Lee, 11 years her junior, and reputed of little means. Their marriage license was obtained yesterday. Mrs. Mellon has not been before the public much since 1912, when a divorce was granted to Mr. Mellon cn grounds of desertion after he with drew allegations of misconduct with Alfred George Curphey, an English man. Mrs. Mellon was awarded cus tody of their two children. Both wore reticent today concerning their plans. Mr. Lee said they met IS months ago in this city. He de scribed It as love at first sight, and said their friends have known,for seme time their marriage was immi nent. Closes Antique Shop. Mr. I,eo had an antique shop on Park avenue, but he closed it Feb ruary 1 and expects to open another business, lie said, though declining to name it. Thn antique shop he described as a plaything but he is also reported as saying he has comparatively little money. Mrs. Mellon, the daughter of one of the founders of tHe Guineas Brewing company of Dublin, Ireland, lias a large country place on the Hudson, and is understood to receive $30,000 alimony annually from Mr. Mellon, v ho also is said to have settled upon her $1,330,000 when they were di vorced. Appeals to King. An effort to get his divorce secretly was made by Mr. Mellon but Mrs. Mellon appealed to the British king and parliament to intervene, claiming an agreement with her husband in 1909 not to divorce her. Sir Edward flrey, then secrctnry of foreign af fairs, ruled that Mrs. Mellon sur i endued British citizenship when she married an American and denied her pita. After vacating the Mellon home In Pittsburgh in 1911 on court orders, Mrs. Mellon was divorced through the report of a commission in Pittsburgh which had taken testimony in Eng land. France and cities in this coun try. Board Must Approve All Dodge County Salaries Fremont. Neb.. March 1.—(Special.) — District Judge F. \V. Button grant ed an injunction ordering that the salaries of Dodge county officials must he approved at a meeting of the county board before being paid. The order follows as a result of litigation brought under the name of Edward Ruwe against County Clerk Fred Pierce and Chairman W. A. Murphy of the board of supervisors . This action is the latest step in til a fight against the present salaries of the county officers. The plaintiffs claim that the Dodge county officials are drawing salaries in excess of that allowed, according to the population ^ Although the last census credited Dodge county with 23.000 people, the plaintiffs state that 23,000 is nearer correct. If the latter claim is proven it will mean a cut in the salaries for the officials of this county. Ppcress of Humble Birlb. Medina, March 1.—Lady Cook, widow of Sir Francis Cook, whoweoently died ip.

Bedtime Storv & y Writer, Totes Gun for Sparrows Thosnton TV. Burgess, of , tiailon ' wide fame ns a creator of bedtime stor ! ie» for children, who soon will join The Omaha Dee's star staff of con l tributors, is a "gunman.” And thereby hangs a tale of con . flict between friends, a wordy war in ■vf’hich typewriters serve as can non and statistics as G. I. shells, with Bully, more commonly known as the English sparrow, "serving as a piece de resistance, a ltuhr basin of ad vance, or an animate No Man's land. In the bedtime tales written by Burgess, to be printed soon in The Omaha Bee, the sparrow is dubbed Bully, which expresses just what Bur gess thinks of hint. Despite his hu mane treatment of animal topics gen erally, Mr. Bed Timer is perfectly willing for one to catch every Bully and wring his neck on the spot. Ready to Help. Better still, he's ready to help by shooting. He keeps a gun handy at his home in Springfield, Mass., so he may rush out to deal death to the j winged tribe. It is only an air gun, and the barrel Is crooked, and it I shoots in circles and Burgess never ' has hit anything yet, but he thrives on hope. “Every day in every way I'm get ting madder and madder at Bully," is his translation of Coueism. All of which is very wrong, in the opinion of John Fitz Roberts, 2304 South Thirty-second avenue, president of the Audubon Society of Omaha, prominent tigure in the livestock in dustry and 100 per cent protector of bird life, who is the other “army” in I the wordy war. Idlest Broadside. Burgess' latest broadside jvas (Taled February 15 and was as follows: "I am delighted to know that you are still loyal to your friend Bully the English sparrow. Loyalty is a splen did tiling. Don't lose sight of the fact, however, that a few’ instances in which good is done cannot offset | a great number of instances when harm is done. It is possible that out I in your country Bully has had a j change of heart and that it is reflect j ed in his character. No one has ever i denied that at times he destroys some noxious insects. But the good he does In this way is overbalanoed by the harm he does in driving away those birds which feed almost wholly on I noxious insects and weed seeds. Birds Have Indiv idualily. "Then again you must not lose ! sight of the fact that there is in- 1 dlviduallty among bird*. There are good and bad individuals. In estimat ing their plares in our economic life : we must Judge the race as a whole. * Bully and his friends are exceedingly numerous around my home. I have i dally opportunity of watching them | and I am going to confess to you that I keep an air rifle within reach be- | cause of them. The darned thing will i not shoot straight, so none of the sparrows has suffered up to date, but j they have been repeatedly frightened and are growing very canny. I am feeding many birds on a window shelf, including chickadees, whose services to mankind cannot lie overestimated. Were it not for my persistence in driving away the sparrows these 1 other buds would have small chance of getting the food they need on my ! window shelf. "Last summer in spite of all I could do the English sparrows broke up the ■■ housekeeping uf a pair of wrens in two houses in my yard. They tried the same trick on a pair of white breasted swallows but 1 Was able to discourage them in this instance. Flare Not in America. "I do not deny that Bully has his place in the world. What I do con tend is that his place is not in Amer ica. lie doesn't belong here, and should never have been brought here. If we could coniine him entirely to large rities. which other birds avoid, it^would be a different matter.” Xow Hoberje has lead ''2,000 bed time tales by Burgess.” and has found the Information unwaveringly correct —except as \/( sparrows. In the 2,001st story he discovered his friend Bully was being lampooned. “You have one argument against him. which is he is un-American," he stated in a letter to Burgess. "My daughter and I have been watching him for years and we find he is one of our most v aluable birds for destroy I ing millers, eating weed seed*, etc. i Once we saw one kill a locust." Later on he tired some more farts at Mr. Nine O'clock. “Farmers’ Bulletin No. 41(3 of the United States Department of Agri culture," lie said, “contained indis putable data in defense of the spar row. Investigation by the bureau of birds that destroy the alfalfa wee vil in northern Utah, showed Eng lish sparrows were feeding their nest lings largely on • weevil larvae arid cut worms, both of which ore very injurious to alfalfa. In this case the sparrows, attracted by grain in the fields and poultry runs and by excel lent nest sites afforded by the thatched roofs of many farm buildings, had left the city and taken up their abode In the country where the weevil out break subsequently occurred.” Outside of their war over sparrows, Burgess and Roberts are good friends. Burgess looks forward with pleasure to an expected trip to Omaha—his first—and a journey down to Senora island, where them is a heronry of the grefct blue herons, the largest fly ing birds. If is one of the few know n heronries in the middle west and usually boasts of about 150 nests.
