PICTURES OF PRIZE FIGHTS.
An Illinois Lawmnker Proposes ts
Prohibit Their Reproduction.


SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. March 19-Repre-
sentative W E. Lamont of Chicago today
introduced a bill in the legislature. with an
emergency clause attached, which will pro-
hIbit the reproduction of pictures of prize
nights, and fixes a severe penalty for vio-
lating it. Mr.. Lamont had in mind such a
measure ever since 1t was announced by the
press that the Corbett- -F'itzsimmons fight
would be reproduced in this manner. Dur
ing the last three or four days he has re
ceived a large number of letters from bust
ness men and fathers advocating the pas
sage of such bill.
The bill prohibits the exhibition not only
of pictures of prize fights but any other
act prohibited in the criminal code Of this
state.
The bill in full is as follows:
Whereas, there has recently been a
most brutal, demoraliZing and disgusting
two men of the name of Corbett and Fitz-
simmons: and. whereas. such exhibitions
are prohibited by the criminal code in this
state: and,
Whereas. such exhibitors have a ten
dency to degrade, corrupt and injure the
morals of the citizens of this state. and
more especially the morals of the young
men and the children of this state:
Whereas. certain persons have by means
of electricity. scientifically applied, taken
photographs of the said prize fight, which
will present the fight on canvas In all
its disgusting, revolving and demoralizing
details, and whereas such reproduction
will be as injurious to the morals of the
people Of this state as the prize fight itself,
therefore

Extra Deputies Sworn In to Protect
the Prisoner.

E4AtTh Deput1cS sworn In to Protect
the Prisoner.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
GEORGETOWN. Del. March 10-This
usually quiet section was in state of con-
fusion and turmoil last night. and the ex-
element has not subsided. Feeling
against James NJ. Gordy. the accused mur-
derer of Mrs Mary Lewis of New York.
became so intense after the coroner's
inquest at Milton yesterday afternoon
that several parties organized for the pur-
pose of coming here to take Gordy from
mis- cell and lynch him. One party formed
at Milton and another at Milford, and a
third at Seaford.
Sheriff John H. Johnson heard OF the
movement and became alarmed. At mid
night he received dispatch informing
him that 800 men were on their way to
lynch Gordy. Immediately he swore in
twenty deputies, ten of whom were sta
toned outside of the Jail armed with Win
chester rifles An extra guard was placed
near the cell in which Gordy is confined.
Besides the deputy sheriffs Johnson swore
in several men who acted in the capacity
of scouts The latter drove to and from
over the various roads near the town in
order to be able to warn the sheriff of
the approach of the lynchers. The scouts
operated all night. and every time they
drove into town to report to the sheriff
tneTe was STedt cOHmOtlOu among the
people. AT daylight the lynching parties
had not appeared. and Sheriff Johnson re-
leased ten of the deputies.
At 10 o'clock tnis morning he received
telegram saying that the lynching parties
had temporarily abandoned their project
owing to the bad condition of the roads
The sheriff still fears an attempt to take
Gordy out of the Jail. He says he Is pre-
pared to defend the Jail to the death, and
has ordered more rifles from the armory.
Gordy the accused murderer, was awake
all night. He got an inkling of the move
ment to lynch him. and when he heard the
deputies outside he became thoroughly
frightened and paced up and down his cell.
Several times ne inquired of the guard
around his cell, Have they conner"
The verdict of the coroner's jury holding
MIN for murder reached Gordy this morn
ing. and SO completely unnerved him that
ne Is now temporarily insane. His condi-
tion is such that the authorities apprehcnd
that he will become a raving maniac.
Superintendent w. II. Hancker of the Del
aware State Hospital of the Insane at
Farnhurst. was notified by Attorney Cen
eral White Of Gordy's condition. and 1t
may be necessary to place him in the hos
Dital.

Herr Vollmar declared that the secretary

the knowledge of Prince Hohenlohe. the

Continuing he said:
why did he (von iIollmann) not saw
