Four-Year-Old Birdie Lee Bannow Calmly Wakes From Sleep of 3 Weeks BRITISH LABOR LEADER DENOUNCES COMMUNISTS | Official of Miners’ Federation De- clares Group Never Will Ac- cept Doctrines. | By the Associated Press. LIVERPOOL, England, October 3.— ) A vigorous denunciation of the Com- munists by Herbert Smith, vice pres- ident of the Miners' Iederation, was the most important development of the closing session of the Parlia- mentary Labor Conference yesterday. Mr. Smith declared his cohfidence that the miners never would adopt communism, ‘and his declaration is looked upon as important because the Communists have claimed to have more influence with the miners than with ‘the men of any other in- dustry. Ramsay MacDonald, the former Labor premier, expressed himself as thoroughly satisfied with the proceed- ings of the conference, saying he belleved the attitude of the Socialist party in turning down Communist proposals would be a source of strength at -the next election and would bring the party hundreds of thousands of votes. The Parliamentary Labor Confer- ence began its sessions on September 29 and immediately passed resolutions by large majorities against admitting Communists to the party. A After sleeping continuously for three weeks, 4-year-6ld Birdie Lee Bannow of 1716 North Capitol street opened her eyes several days ago, looked around casually as though she had just taken a nap and ended the long and anxious vigil of her parents and attending physicians, At was learned today. Birdie, who apparently had been suf- fering from encephalitis lethargica, or sleeping sickness, was in a_cheerful, wide-awake mood today, and it is be- lieved she has entirely recovered from the strange malady Meanwhile ar-old Margaret Ann O'Brien of anning. street north- east was entering the second week of slumber resulting from the same dis- ease” News of the recovery of Birdie Lee greatly heartened the O'Brien girl's parents. _ Physicians Differ on Diagnosis. The Bannow. child’s.ailment has not beeh definitely diagnosed as sleeping sickness, however. A number of spe- clalists who examined her failed to agree cn_a positive diagnosis, it is said. Birdie Lee began her long sleep after she had been vaccinated, it is said. More than.a Wweek after receiv-' ing the vaccine she complained of a “‘sore arm” and of feeling drowsy, shortly thereafter falling asleep. Men- ingitls tests were negative, and Dr. E. A. Cafritz reached the conclusion that the girl was suffering from a peculiar form of encephalitis lethargica. During the early stages of her sickness the Bannow girl aroused for brief intervals, but toward the end she was rigid in sound slumber. The O'Brien baby can be aroused enough to take nourishment from her bottle, | but she is unable to remain awake, according to Dr. F. V. Atkinson. Her color, respiration and genergl appear- ance are of a perfectly well baby in the throes of sleep, he said. Mystery Disease Still Perplexes. Health Department officials are still nonplussed over the mystery dis- ease of a different type which caused the deaths recently of three infants the Florence Crittenton Home. ite numerous bacteriological , the exact nature of the trouble, which was akin to dysentery in its symptoms, has not been determined, it was stated today by Dr. W. C. Fowler, District health officer. The ravages of the disease, at one time so threatening, appears to have been checked. One of.the four chil- dren taken to Children’s Hospital was able to be returned to the home yesterday, and the others are pro-’steamsh! gressing favorably, it was stated.
