Mrs. King has several golden

qualify as a game bird. The bril-

tions.
Female pheasants are protected
during the hunting season in Mary

killed in day. or six in the season,
which closes December 81. The bag

Birth Certificate Price
May Be Reduced

The price of copies of birth and
death certificates may be drastically
reduced If 1t. Col. Herbert B. Hay
den, U. s. A., retired, the Health De-
partment business manager, wins
final approval of a new plan for
making the copies.
He announced yesterday he sees q
possibility of cutting the price from
so cents to Is cents by making cop
les by photostatic process. He es-
timated that whereas it now costs
the District 43 cents per copy, fig
uring in all overhead costs, the new
plan would reduce the District costs
to 10 or II cents. Priced at is cents,
the District still would make profit,
he said. -.
He reported there is a growing
demand for birth certificates due to
the old-age assistance and other
social security programs. Certifi-
Gates for births since 1907 have been
issued free but there is q charge Of
50 cents for those dated p1!or to
that year. All death certificates cost
so cents. 4

Maritime Union Protests
Training School Plans

The Maritime Commissions ex-
tenSive training program, under
direction of the United States
Coast Guard, has drawn the fire of
National Maritime Union officials,
primarily on the premise of the
alleged military character of the
training.
The commission has received a
complaining letter from Joe Curran,
president of the N. M. u, which,
among other things, seeks a guar
antee that the service will not be
opened to those who have never
followed the sea but are DESTROYS
of entering this field. He also OBJ
jects to use of the Government
hiring halls for the engaging of
seamen by masters of vessels and
protests against the use of the Coast
Guard as medium of instruction
at the training stations at Hoff-
mann and Swinburn Islands in New
York Harbor.
Acting Chairman Thomas H.
Woodward of the Maritime Com
mission, said yesterday that the
union protest had been received by
the commission, but that any action
or discussion regarding the matter
would be deferred until the return
of Rear Admiral Emory S. Land,
chairman, who is now in South
America, and Rear Admiral H. A..
Wiley, member, also with Admiral
Land and who has been directly
handling the training program.
Both commissioners are scheduled
to return here November IS.
In the meantime, the plans for
developing the training stations are
being pushed with all the vigor
possible here and on the. West
Coast, where preparations are being
made for a course to be given on
Government Island. Despite the
protests of the union officials, it
was pointed out that the commission
already has on hand more than
$500 applications from licensed OH
GERS and seamen to be enrolled in
the training schools.

The New Orleans court affirmed
decision Of the Federal District
Court of Northern Georgia which
had denied Beard release on a writ

Court decisions. He will refer to
the Nardone decision by Justice
Roberts which outlawed overlapping

of the prisoner. he said. Wiretap:
ping evidence was used in Beard S
case.
He also will contend that Beard
was placed in double jeopardy when
given two sentences, each of one
to three years. on two counts-set-
ting up gaming table, and setting
up place of gaming. MIR. Laughlin
said. I'VE claim he said, that
is one offense.' In this, Mr.. Laugh
lin said he will rely on Supreme
Court decision in a narcotics case
in which the defendant Blockburger
claimed he was sentenced twice for
the same thing.
Boards appeal also will contend,
his counsel explained, that his con-
stitutional rights were violated, and
reference will be made to a decision
last May by Justice Black, where a
defendant was freed on q writ of
habeus corpus because his constitu-
tional rights were violated.
Beard was sentenced in May 1885
for total of two to six years, but
began serving his sentence in April
