FIRST BIENNIAL STATEMENT 35 



automatic and "pump" shotguns are so bitterly hostile to 

 him, on account of his hostility to those weapons, that 

 never while the world stands will any aid from them or 

 from their friends ever come to this Fund ! In view of the 

 millions of capital invested in the gun and ammunition 

 trust, and the distribution of that capital, this means more 

 than appears on the surface. 



But we accept that situation cheerfully, even joyously. 

 There is money for our work outside the ranks of the makers 

 of machine guns for the slaughter of birds; and nolens 

 volens the war on the guns of ungentlemanly slaughter will 

 go on as long as those guns are made, sold or used. Else- 

 where in this Statement there will be found a bit of history 

 bearing upon this point, which we never before have com- 

 mitted to writing. It will show the annual income that the 

 Campaigning Trustee might today be expending at his 

 discretion — under certain conditions. 



William T. Hornaday, 



Campaigning Trustee. 



FORM OF BEQUEST TO THIS FUND. 



I hereby give and bequeath to the Permanent Wild 

 Life Protection Fund of New York, founded by Will- 

 iam T. Hornaday, Clark Williams and A. Barton Hep- 

 burn, as Trustees, and payable to them or their 

 successors, the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars.
