Reports today from the bedside
Of Mr. and Mrs. w. B. Heys, who
are so critically ill of pneumonia at

the effect that little hope is now
held for their recovery.
Early this morning Mr.. Heys'

Mrs. Heys was as i'll as to cause
grave apprehension to the attend

feared they may not survive the

SPORTSMEN READY

Scores of Hunters Seek Flats

rows Lifting of Ban.

"To be shot at sunrise" is the SEN
tence facing thousands of migratory
birds that will become effective to-
morrow morning, opening day of the
season for killing reedbirds, ortolan
and blackbirds on the marshes in
the District and nearby Maryland
and Virginia.
Because of the gradual lesSenine
of the shooting grounds in the Dis
trict, a result of the reclamation o.
the Anacostia fats. the greater num-
ber of sportsmen who delight in the
slaughter of the birds will find their
way to the flats of the Patuxen1
River. The PatuXent River Hats to
the north of Chesapeake Beach rail
road bridge comprises hundreds of
acres of shooting territory.
Scores Take to Marshes.
Yesterday afternoons trains car
ried scores of club members to the
vicinity of the Patuxent River
marshes Glebe. Jackson Landing and
Italian Clubs homes being near th.
railroad bridge. Club members are
more fortunate than individuals in
the matter of licenses to shoot, il
is stated. clubs having blanket
licenses to protect its members.
No license fee is charged gunnerS
in the District, but those who indulge
in the sport in Maryland. whethe:
residents of the State or nonzresi-
dents, are required to pay license
fee.
1t is reported that reed5i'Ls and
blackhirds have appeared IN the
nearby marshes in fairly lar-te num-
bers, and the ripened oat- should
mean that they are in good condi-
tion. Only a few ortolan have Eeen
seen, it is reported. such birds usually
delaying their arrival until cooler
weather.
Police on Lookout.
Police of the harbor precinct are
taking the usual precautions to pro-
tect gunners and others. They have
been instructed to require str.c. com
pliance with the law and will be on
hand at sunrise looking after the
gunnerS.
1t is thought there will. be an TN
usually large number of sportsmeu
on the marshes tomorrow because of
the holiday. Sale of birds is pro-
hibited under the federal law, ard
this will mean an absence from
lunchrooms of the familiar sign,
''Reedbirds on toast
There is no provision of law pro-
hibiting sportsmen from presenting
birds to their friends, however, and
friends probably will be much in
evidence at the close of the days

circumstances leading to the with

editor)
After detailing the principal sue
cesses since Labor had been in power,
the premier said a cure for unem-
ployment had not yet been found,
but no government has done more
than this government, in such un-
precedented conditions. to alleviate
the hard lot of the victims of unem-
ployment." The next Labor budget.
he added, would carry on the good
work of it's predecessor in the reduc-
tion of taxes and duty on commodi-
ties for the benefit of the workers.
After making his declaration
against Communism, the premier ex-
pressed hope that the Labor move
ment in England and other countries
would not be induced to fall into the
Communistic trap and thus render
countenance to one o: the ordinary
excuses which capitalism was always
seeking to increase it's grip on the
lives of the workers.
The prime minister's address was
applauded by the conference which
adopted unanimously resolutions con-
graduating the government on it's
record, approving it's handling Of the
Irish situation, applauding it's recog-
milton of Soviet Russia, and offering
fullest support and encouragement to
the premier. the cabinet and the par
liamentary party.
