widow of johnson f. Speed, who
was one of Abraham Lincoln s

Tin Rooster Wouldn't Work

Henry Peterson, a farmer resid-
ing a short distance north of Yer
oxua, purchased from an agent a
tin rooster which was guaranteed
to turn red six and seven hpuis
before each and every storm, thus
giving him plenty of time to pre-
pare for the blow. Storms came
and went, but the rooster did not
change color, and Peterson started
an investigation in an attempt to
recover the $50 check which had
been given for the device. He
found the check at the village
bank. 1t had accomplished what
the rooster failed to do. 1t had

Wants the Government 10 Seize
and Operate Mines.

President Roosevelt has in his
hands a plan submitted by Martin
Dolphin, former President OF the
International Order of Railroad
relegraphers, by which Mr.. Dol
phin thinks the strike in the an
thracite coal fields could be ended.
The plan is to have the Govern
ment exercise the right Of eminent
domain and seize certain number
of mines and operate them for the
purpose of taking out all the hard
coal required by the government in
the various buildings, on the ships
of the navy department and for all
other governmental purposes.
The right of the Government to
intervene in a strike which inter-
feres in any way with government
tai functions was proved, Mr..
Dolphin contends, by President
Cleveland's action in the Chicago
strike of 1898, when he ordered
out United States troops to keep
the strikers from interfering with
the transportation of the mails.

Opening of Game Sea-
son Took Sportsmen to
the Marshes.
AFTER THE SUCCULENT REED
That Bird, the ortolan, Snipe, and
Others Unprotected by Law Fell Prey
to the Many Hunters-Some of the
Big Bags"

The legal prohibition against shooting
small birds, especially reed birds and
ortolans, was removed yesterday, and
in addition to the recreations of Labor
Day the sport of cunning was enjoyed
to the full. Thousands of sportsmer
among the marshes of the Eastern
Branch.
The slaughter of the feathered tribe
began early in the Anacostia swamps.
AS the first streaks of the morning ap-
peared beyond the eastern hills ex-
perienced gunners were seen striding out
Pennsylvania Avenue and the Benning
Road to where the reed birds were be-
ginning their search for food. Along
the flats bordering the Eastern Branch
from the Navy Yard to the District line.
gunners sought favorable positions for
shooting. Before sunrise the sharp crack
of the guns were heard in almost con-
slant fusillade against the little brown
birds which two months ago were filling
every Northern meadow and hillside
with song. They fell by scores before
the swift flying shot from the sports
mems guns.
Great Flocks Were Seen.
Big focks of the birds through the
morning hours swept over the marshes
and river From side to side and end to
end OF the swamp stretches of the East
ern Branch they moved, while from
every cIump OF bushes and from the high
reeds belched the hail of leaden shot.
soaring the winged creatures and giving
them no rest. Their mates fell with
sharp cry as one and another was
pierced by the flying lead. and the flocks
grew thinner with the advancing hours
BY O'Clock the swamps and coves
were full of men, and hundred boats
were flying along the murky stream.
About 10 o'clock the gunners came
trooping into John Fraas' saloon on
the other side of Benning Bridge with
big bags of birds. They rested awhile,
told long stories of the mornings
shoot, ate hasty lunches and started
again for the marshes intent upon the
hunt
Frank and Joe Simonoski were among
the fortunate ones. having bagged 200
birds each at IL O'Clock. Marion Fowler

shot between s and II o'clock. NJ H.
| Price shot four dozen and went home.
There were many others, but these were
some of the biggest scores.
The shooting was pronounced good by
all. rather better than for the past two
years.
Similar scenes were enacted below
Benning over on the Virginia shores, and
on Analostan Island. Big bags of birds
were secured By the crack shots, and the
day was full of sport. II was a tired
and hungry lot of hunters which caught
the incoming cars at sunset and sought
their homes. In many house reed birds
were served for dinner.
Danger in Marshes.
While the opening day generally
brings out all of the crack shots. the
fact that yesterday was Labor Day tend
ed to keep many of these away from the
sport, as at present the reeds are very
high, making it difficult to see twenty
feet in front of oneself. For this reason
there is much danger in pushing through
the marshes. as many are out who have
had little experience at the sport, and
are careless in handling their guns.
The birds were driven from their flock
ing grounds in New Jersey and Delaware
because of the early advent of the cool
weather, and there were as many reedies
out on the marsh two weeks ago as there
are today
For many years past there have been
inexperienced sportsinen who have gone
out and shot about everything that
looked like bird. According 20 law no
crane, sage hen, or summer duck can be
shot at any time during the year. These
birds were the subject of target prac-
tice yesterday for those not familiar with
the game laws. The game wardens were
rather plentiful. however. and it is not
thought that much damage was done
When seen last night Mr. William
Wagner. the veteran sportsman, who is
on cunning around these parts,
predicted very successful season. He
said:
Mr.. Wagner's Prediction.
From all reports this will be very
good season for the gunner. Two weeks |
ago there were by far more birds on |
the marshes at Benning tnan there |
were al any time last season. and they |
are still coming Will | go out the |
first day? No, sir! l would like very |
much to go. but there is too much dan
ger. The reeds are so high in many
places that II is impossible 20 see
twenty feet in front of you, and the
many inexperienced persons who go on
he opening day are rather inclined to
be careless in the handling of their
shooting pieces.
This year We have had the largest
crop of rice in many years. and this
accounts for the goodly number OF birds
already feeding in the marshes around
Not only will reed birds
re plentiful, but as usual there are d
great many blackbirds. There likewise
