A BOY FATALLY BEATEN.
The Shocking Crime of -Four
Young Thugs.
ALL BECAUSE HE WAS A HEBREW.

Little Tobias Hippar is Set Upon and
Kicked and Pounded with Stones and
Left Lying in the Gutter-Death Relieves
Him Of His Pain.
New YORK, April l2 Tobias Hippar, g.
year-old child, living with its parents on the
top floor Of the four story tenement house No.
l,Gi4 Second avenue, died last night at his
residence from the effects Of beating admin
istered wednesday night by a lO-year-old lad
named Willis Lutz, the son Of another tenant
Of the snme house.
From all that could be learned Of the case,
it appears that jealousy has existed between
the Hiprar and Lutz families In fact all
the tenants Of the house have shown an an
tipathy 10 the Hippar family because they
are Esirews The feeling has extended so
far that the childrentook it up, and quarrels
between them were Of frequent occurrence.
On Wednesday afternoon little Tobias was
playing outside Of the door, when he was sud
denly set upon by Willie Lutz, Charles and
Willie Dorr and Lewis Harrington, all lads
If TO- who live in the immediate neighbor-
hood Lutz was the ringleader, and encour-
aged the others to abuse the little fellow by
throwing dust in his eyes and kicking him.
Finally they knocked him down in the gut
! ter pounded him with stones and kicked him
mmorctuly. A stranger passing by drove
the young thugs away and picked the little
victim out OF the gutter.
Blood was flowing from wounds in the back
OF his head and his face was cut and bruised
in dozen places He pluckily recovered
and although suffering considerably dried
his tears and walked up stairs. His mother
met him on the stairs and hardly recognized
| him from the dust and dirt that covered him
| The little lad told his mother what had hap
pened and then she sent for DR.. Palmer, Of
! No sos East Eighty sixth street, who hur-
ried TO the house, but owing to the actions
and dctations Of the lal's father refused 10
attend him DR. Stone, of l64 East Eighty
| fourth street. was then called and attended
| the boy until he died last night.
MIR Leon Hippar, the little victims father,
was almost frantic with grief last night, and
could not give any intelligent history of the
various indignities TO which he and his family
hns been subjected during their residence
in that house. Mrs. Hippar was more talka-
! tive, and made all sorts Of charges against
several Of the occupants.
The case was reported to the police last
night, and detectives from the East Fifty
eighth street station arrested all the lads con
ceined ia the assault
Dr. Stone, in speaking Of the case last
night, said the poor little fellow raved all
Wednesday night and in his delerium he
called upon his mother to "Save me from the
devils, who are torturing me.n Mr. Hippar
is furrier by occupation, but has been out

Experience has constrained us reluct-

exist to be disturbed and overthrown by
absolute prohibition prohibition pol
icy can at present make itself ade

have accordingly felt willing to have the
experiment of what is called high license
thoroughly tried: the more that, if it
failed, that failure must react to cause
all who sincerely desire the abolition of
the liquor traffic to revert to prohibition
as the only remaining alternative; thus,
perhaps, securing to it that decided pre-
