' *13 NEW YORK. -- The remarkable behavior of a white parrot named Jackie was being talked about around the West Fifty-fourth Street police station house. Jackie belonged to Fanny Law, 70, an old-time vaudeville performer who had an act involving "talking birds." Mrs. Law lived in a two-room apartment in the rear of 421 West Forty-eighth street, and she had been in poor health for several years. Recently her illness had grown worse, and Mrs. Ethel Campbell, chairman of the sick committee of the National Variety Artists, began making regular calls at the apartment. This morning Mrs. Campbell walked in to find that Mrs. Law had died. She was lying dead in bed, and on the coverlet was Jackie. Mrs. Campbell is willing to take oath that the bird said: "Mother is sick. 1 don't know how bad." t, And he kept repealing time phrases over and over. Mrs. Campbell said that usually when she has called at the Law apartment, Jackie has greeted her with this: J "What the hell do YOU want? Get the hell out of here!" • She said further that Mrs. Law and the bird often carried on long, involved conversations. One such conversation, she recalled, went this way: Jackie--Mother, I love you. Mrs. Law--Thank you, Jackie. Jackie--Jackie don't feel well. Mrs. Law--Never mind, Jackie; I don't feel well, either. Jackie--What's the matter with you, mother? Mrs. Carhpbell said that the A.S.P.C.A. was summoned and ps Jackie was being taken out of the apartment he cried: "Goodby, mother; goodby!" Jackie was taken to the society's shelter on Twenty-fourth street. POUHD >» fcK- • . • isf POUND-^Row boat with three oars, anchor out, drifting . Monday after* noon in stbtfri.' it. m.

Police charge them with dismantling a four-story building, carting away the material in a truck, and then selling it back, piece by piece, to the original owfier. The youthful quartet allegedly carted away plumbing fixtures, metal sheeting, window and door frames, radiators, steam pipes, and even elevator equipment, and then sold the materials for junk to the Goldberg Iron company. The owner of the recently deserted building, Arthur Goldberg, has a half interest in the latter company. The four youths, Gean Pickett, 10; Leonard Hebon, 25; Charles Cooper, 19; and Frank Dunlap, 19, were arrested while tearing up the floor of the building, police said. Brought to headquarters, they as** sertedly confessed carting five truck* loads of material away from the building before their arrest. They were held under $10,000 bond each.

The last, cabinet appointee to fail of confirmation was Charles B. Warren, whose nomination by President Coolidge to be attorney general was rejected by the Senate in a tie vote, 20 to 20, in 1925.

The 25-year-old El Pasoan found that through somfe error county records show he died at birth, and through a quirk of law he has been since as far as the state is con; cerned. , . The notation "dead at birth" bore the name of Leonardo's mother and of the midwife who attended her. A deputy county clerk discovered the error while searching for evidence of a birth certificate issued for Leonardo's brother. "As far as the county clerk's office is concerned Trevizo must remain legally dead until his father, signs a certificate of correction," the deputy clerk said.
