Mrs. Ethel Byrne, birth control advocate, was so ig fed at Blackwell's island after she had become practically }unconscious as a result of abstaining from food and water for a period of 103 hours. Mrs. Byrne, who is the mother of two children, was rolled in a blanket, a rubber tube inserted in her mouth and a pint of milk, two eggs and a stimulant | , administered. An offictal statement from the de partment of corrections this morn- | ing stated that Mrs. Byrne's condi- | tion was “slightly improved.” J. J.
