PAIRFAX, Va, November 1.—The greatest confusion reigns at present ml the minds of sportsmen in this section | as to whether or not the hunting sea- | son has been curtalled. Conflicting statements have been made in the press, some of them purporting to come from members of the State Commission on Game and Inland Fisheries. Official Says No Change. Albert Fletcher of Warrenton, game supervisor for the eighth congressional district, this week informed Deputy | County Clerk Elton R. Holbrook, who | is in charge of issuing licenses in Fair- fax County, that the commission has made no change in the law in regard | to Fairfax County except that no tur- keys or pheasants can be killed this ear. The bag limit on partridges has | n reduced from 15 to 10 per day; | ducks from 25 to 15 per day: geese from 8 to 4 per day. no person to have in his possession at any one time over 30 ducks and 8 geese. The duck season opened today and will close January 31, unless action is | taken before that time by the State | Commission on Game and Inland Fish- eries. Holbrook says that Fletcher has characterized as erroneous the state- ment that the season would last only two weeks. The commission will make | no change in the season if game is found plentiful. If reports show it to be unusually scarce, the commission will doubtless shorten the time Rabbits November 15. The season on partridges and rabbits opens November 15. Under the state | law it continues through January 31 ‘The Fairfax County Supervisors have in former years ended the local season | December 31. Fletcher stated this| week that the State law did not forbid local governing borddes from shortening the period allowed by the State as a maximum. The supervisors are ex- pected to take edvantage of this ruling and to re-enact the provision in effect here before the change in the State law | was adopted last vear. | 'FRONT-PORCH CAMPAIGN HELD BY CONVALESCENT CANDIDATE William T.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Novem- ber 1 —Recovered to such an extent| that he is able to resume his official duties, but still too weak to take an active part in the campaign, William T. Davis, Prince Georggs register of wills, whose life was sal by several blood transfusions during a serious ill- ness last Summer, has been conducting a “front-porch campaign” for re-elec- tion during the past few weeks. Constant Procession. The porch and parlor of his home, & few doors from the court house, have | been the scene of a constant proces-, sion of friends and Republican political | leaders, who have received messages | from Mr. Davis and carried them to the | voters in all parts of the county. It was overlooked at the time, but the fact looms as significant now, that many of those who volunteered, and some of those who actually did give their blood for transfusions to Mr. | Davis, were of the opposite political persuasion. Mr. Davis has been register of wills sirice 1919 and during the past four years of his administration has made the office self-supporting. His friends say that his recent illness will have the | effect of making his majority this year | even larger than in the past. WILLIAM T. DAVIS.
