c. ". BYRNE, FAITH
CURIST, SENT TO JAIL
His SIx.Year-old Child Died Of
Pneumonia.
NO FAITH IN MEDICAL DOCTORS.
Believed in the Efficacy of the Re
ligious Faith TO Which He Belongs
Sent to Jail for Thirty Days for
Not Calling a Physician While His
Child Was iii.

New York Especially Clarence w.
Byrne, who was recently tried and
convicted on charges growing out of
his failure to employ medical assist
ance for his six-year-old daughter,
who died of pneumonia, was sem
fenced to 80 days imprisonment by
the Court of General Sessions.
Byrne, who is a salesman, was found
guilty of violating section 2SS, of
the Penal Code. which provides that
"a person who willfully omits, with
out lawful excuse, to perform a duty
by law imposed upon him to furnish
food, clothing. shelter or medical at
tendance to a minor is guilty OF q
misdemeanor."
The complainant was Coroner p.
p. Acritelli. The decision was given
by Justice Kean, and the whole court
was unanimous for conviction and
sentence. The defendants excuse for
not calling a medical practitioner
during his daughters illness was
want of faith in medical doctors"
and reliance upon the efficacy of the
religious faith to which he belongs.
The court held the sole question be-
fore it to be whether the omission to
furnish medical attendance under
the circumstances constituted law
full excuse" and in a lengthy decis-
ion says
ITO answer that question in the
affirmative by granting the motion
in arrest of judgment would estab-
lish a precedent that might be ex-
tremely vexatious in other directions
An individual of some other cult,
with equal plausibility and earnest
ness, could plead disbelief in edu-
cational methods as an excuse for
not sending children to school; could
withhold food, clothing and shelter,
leaving each, as a part Of his reli-
gion, to be furnished through the
same or similar agency"

KOREANS PATHETIC FIGHT
Hopeless Resistance Against the
Japanese.

Seoul (By Cable) A Korean bat
talon mutinied against the disarma-
ment order and engaged in a fight
for several hours with the Japanese
troops near the consulate quarter
with rifles and a machine gun.
japanese troops surrounded the
Korean barracks after an imperial
proclamation had been issued dis
banding the Korean army, composed
of 1000 men. Several hundred Ko-
reans, gathered at the great building
during thunderstorm, we're dispers-
ed by a company of Japanese SOL
diers. The outlets from the Korean
army barracks are guarded by ma
chine guns.
The proclamation disbanding the
troops says that the disbanded SOL
diers will be granted one years pay
According to official reports re-
ceived by General Hasegawa up to
8 o'clock p. M. there we're 120 casu-
alties among the Koreans as a result
Of the riots growing out of the dis
bandment of the Korean troops
Marquis Ito, in his audience with
the Emperor, assured the Emperor
of his complete safety Marquis Ito
provided the foreign consulates with
guards as a precaution for safety.
The Japanese military take the
credit for a prompt suppression of
an outbreak, having prepared to sup
press all garrisons In the event of
sympathetic uprising.
The Imprisonment of fugitives
from the Shiawa regiments contin-
ues. The remainder of the Korean
Army, distributed throughout the
country, will be disbanded as fast
as the imperial rescript reaches the
different stations. No trouble is an
ticipated. The residency general re-
CARDS the urgent question, that re-
lating to abdication, settled, and be-
lieves that an army of several thou
sand Japanese is sufficient to main
tain order
Toxic (By Cable) With the ex-
ception of an unsuccessful attack on
the japanese troops by some dis
banded Korean soldiers, resulting in
slight casualties on both sides, the
japanese losing one officers, a gem
eral calm is reported in Seoul. The
disbanding of Korean troops does
not apply to the court guards, the
court being allowed to retain six
battalions out of consideration of
imperial prestige. 1t is believed that
a lack of ammunition by the disaf-
fected soldiers, coupled with the
trictest surveillance on the part of
the japanese authorities, will pre-
vent risings on an extensive scale.

By the Temperance Movement

'hibition, lacking in the wave that
swept the Northern States many
years ago, in the effort to suppress
the crimes of drunken people. But
the South's most important cities re-
main obdurately wet"
Politicians in the South have come
to realization that the prohibition
movement in their region is one
which must be taken with the utmost
seriousness. The politico-temper-
ance crusade, with its new life and
energy, constitutes the most startling
development in Southern politics to-
day. The advocates of compulsory
abstinance are growing more power
full day by day. The movement is
not so much against the consump-
tion of whisky and other alcoholic
beverages as against saloons, rum
shop, bars and the like.
The average American is in the
habit of regarding Kentucky, Tennes-
see, the Carolinas, and in fact, most
of the other Southern States, as dis
tinguished for the production and
consumption of liquor. 1t is inter-
esting in view of this, to have atten-
ton directed to the fact that in the
State of Kentucky ninety out of one
hundred and nineteen counties are
mo license" That is to say, in none
of the ninety counties will be grant
ed a license to sell liquor. The
whole State of Tennessee Is "dry"
save for the cities of Memphis, Nash
vile and Chattanooga. In the dry"
districts no alcoholic beverages may
be bought--not even glass of beer
or claret with dinner
The State of Texas is said to con-
tain ninety counties that have abol-
ished saloons. North Carolina, Mis-
sissippi and other States of the South
tell the same story. Anybody may
have spirituous beverages sent to him
in any of the dry" districts; but
throughout these regions every sa-
loon has been extirpated One may
travel up and down the rural parts
of Kentucky and Tennessee without
finding one bar or crossroads sa-
loon such as may be found in pro-
fusion throughout, say, New York,
New Jersey or Pennsylvania.

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest

OF Trade says:
Trade reports from the leading
cities are singularly uniform in maxi
ing favorable comparisons with the
corresponding week In any previous
year At most Western and South
ern points the Improvement in crop
prospects has brought little fall or.
ders and there is evidently more
confidence in the future than at any
time since Il was found that many
of the principal farm products had
made a bad start. Jobbing-houses
are preparing for winter trade on q
scale seldom equaled the consump.
tion of seasonable goods promising
to deplete stocks most satisfactorily
Manufacturers still receive orders
In abundance, few clothing cancella,
tions appear, and il is the exception
when plants have smaller contracts
than year ago. More detailed re-
ports for the first half of 1907 add
to the earlier testimony that all
records for six months we're far sur.
passed.
Settlement of the ore strike re-
moves any danger of interruption to
activity at pig-iron furnaces, which
promise to establish a new record OF
output during the second half of the

port of the American Iron and Steel
Association, all previous figures
were surpassed during the six
months with an aggregate of 49,

women, men and children waited for
hours in the capitol corridors while
the members of the House were vot-
ing on the amendments, getting them
out of the way in order to get down
to the real question.
Then when the doors of the House
were opened and 1t was announced
that the measure had been passed by
the vote of 139 to 39 a scene of the
widest rejoicing took place. Wright,
Covington and other stanch support
ers of the bill were swept from their
seats, thrown upon the shoulders of
admirers and taken from the House
to the capitol grounds. From that
place the crowd proceeded to the
Grady monument, where the Doxol-
ogy was sung and speeches made by
all leaders of the fight for the bill.
Tuesday night after the Grady
monument scene the crowd swept up
the sttsets to the Governors man
sion, where he was giving reception
to the young people of the city.
There he made a speech to the people
OF Atlanta and told them he would
sign the bill just as soon as It reach
ed him, and the Governor was cheer
ed to the echo. He is not in favor
OF prohibition; he prefers local op-
tion, but 1t was the will of the people
and he could not oppose them.
In Atlanta here is brewing com
pany, representing probably an in
vestment OF $1,0O0,000, and in Sa-
vannah there is another worth $780,
600. There are 263 saloons in Sa-
vannah; there are 1876 in Atlanta.
In the remainder of the state there
are about $50. All must close ont
in about five months. This means
confiscatlon for the breweries, so
says Mr.. Dunbar, of Richmond, lead
er of the "antis."
