JJI RWORY JJILM Thousands of Them Are Now .On' Their Way Mousit. Asheville Citizen . Migratory birds are au thelf- way South again and may be ob'erved stop ping to feed and to rest. A few ducks have been noticed passiJg over York Ville, and occasionally, a plhalaux of wil geese, flying so high that their "honk," *'honk," barely audible, is seen. The marking of migratory water fowl, which has been practiced by the I collaborators of the liological Survey, t United Statcs Department of/Agricul ture, has given evidence that it will be a most Interesting and important in- I vestigation. Although the iwork has I been in progress for only two years it has had notable results, it is announc ed. Ducks and other birds, the move- I ment of which are 'being studied by this method, are caught, mainly by the use of special tralps, light aluminum bands are. placed on one leg and the captives are released, says a depart iental report. Each band bears a se rial number and the legend "3iol. 1 Survey, Wash., 1). C." In the .Washington oflice of the' Bio logical'Survey these canded birds are I card indexed, so that when a hunter bags a duck 'bearing a band and re Ports its capture, by referring to the t card 'file the route covered by the bird in question can be ascertained. Wlhen 1 such records are received the hunter I is advised where the birdNwas ban(led, J while ,te person who -attached the ( hand is informed where the bird fell. t Duringifall shooting seasons for the last few years a large number of mal- t lards and black ducks, with a few f American, because the species also w ters in small numbers in the Gulf region, and it is to that area that the more northern 't irds might be expect ed to go. g. - '4 "The return record of ducks of oth er species, banded near Toronto, have I afforded valuable data relative to their migration," the report continues. "The < lake where the banding was done, ( Lake Scugog, is surrounded by marsh- ( es and thus offers excellent opportuni- ( ties for the ducks to feed and rest 4 before starting the long flight to the ( South. The trappings and banding were carried on continuously through the' gutumn, so that by the time the big'southward movement began sev eral hundred birds had !been marked. At this time the season was open from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Alexico, and the migrating birds had to run a veritable gauntlet of sportsmen. A large number of return records were therefore received. '4in tracing the route of these birds I it seemed apparent that the mallards I and 'black ducks travelqd together and I their course from 'Lake Scugog was southwesmward along the shores of Lake EFrie by way of the St. Clair flats. Here the route divided, the majority continuing toward the Southwest, I cross-country to the Ohio river, thence td thze iississippi valley, where many I of them $pent the winter. "The second group that -parted from i their fellows in. the vicinity of Lake ' Erie took a southeasterly route, cross ing the Allephenies and reaching t~e I Atlantic coast by way of Chesapeake I and Delaware- Boys. It is interesting i that, although 'both of tliese kinds of ducks arc present and the black duck is 'plentiful along the coast of New York. SU~IbIE.E COUILT 0(ANGES F01tM IN APPE.ALS TJakes Drastic Steps to Prevent Delays in Executions. Columbia, Nov. 3.-4ranting a netw trial to Cliff illawklns, of Greenville, whlo has twice had sentence af. deat/h passed upon him for the murder of W~illiam Morgan in 1920, the upr'emie Court of Soyth Carolina today handed down a decision making drastic changes in the procedure to be follow ed in capital cases in the future, with a viewv to preventing unneces'aary de lays in execution. The order provides that, after the Supreme Court hals once affirmed a death sentence of the lower courts, the dlefendant cannot obtain the bene fit of a motion for a new trial on the gr'oum~d of after-discovered evidecnce, the only course then open, exc(1pt with the consent of the State Supreme Court. If there 'be n'o sitting of-that court between the days if sentencing *and the date sot for the electrocition, the '1efendant must secure from ,the Governor a temporary reprieve to giv~e *him 9pportunity to present 'his case to the court. The granting of the re prieve is optional -with the Chief Eoi ecutive. Heretofore, /circuit judges have granted a ner trial on the ground of additional evidence, after thge $41 *premne Court had sustained a sentence of c4eath.
