 They were in the habit of playfully shooting at each others feet in the rear of the shop" says a Washtucna dispatch conveying the newa that Todd Brockmann had been fatally shot, presumably by JudA Mathews. at KAhlotus, wash. It is furtheS stated that both were swinging their guns in a rotary motion and 1t is not absolutely certain which fired the fatal shot" Erom these particulars 1t would seem that the playful recreation aduiEed In at Kahlofus was a harmless as shooting firecrackers in a powder magazine.

As a result of the discussion of the agitation now being carried on by the committee of one hundred on national health in every state in the Union which was presented by Prof, Irving Fisher. president of the committee of one hundred, before the committee on resolutions. the subcommittee report ed favorably plank in favor Of the waste of human life from tuberculosis and other preventable diseases, for the fall platform, This platform will be adopted by the convention of the dem ocratic party which will meet in the fall.

Locker Clubs To Be
Broken BY Judge Speer.

1AOASAA ~ I0~6~ 0S~~Ap
Savannah, Ga, Jan. 20.-Trou-
bic OF deep nature is looming
ahead for the locker clubs of Gcor.
gia, those olses in the desert into
which the prohibitionists have
converted the state and unto which
those who are sore at thirst are
wont to wend the way.
This trouble is not that which
is lurking in the approaching SEES
sion Of the legislature, either, but
it awaits the clubs in the term of
the United States court for the
southern district of Georgia, which
is to convene in this OH February
20.
FEDERAL LAW VIOLATED.
Today Judge Emory Speer sound
ed the docket for the term. He
will return to hold court begin
ming February 20.
Asked about the status OF the
locker clubs in Georgia, Judge
Spccr caused great surprise when
he said that he would charge the
United States grand jury that the
CLUBS arc conducted in opposition
to the status requiring that each
place where liquor is sold or dealt
in any way shall pay a license of
$50 to the federal government for
each and every member of the
clubs, said Judge Speer, is under
the law, liable for such a license.
Ae is required to take out such
license and to post it in a conspic-
Gus place. Thus far the members
have in no case complied with this
law, and the judge says he will
charge the jury to investigate this
commission.
DEATH OF LOCKER CLUES
This, of course, would mean the
death of the locker clubs.
Judge Speer said the impression
prevails up the state no Savannah
jury would take cognizance of
failure to observe the prohibition
law. This he is not inclined TO
believe, he said, for he had found
Savannah citizens every ready TO
do their duty as jurors. However,
the judge naively continued that
if he found it necessary he might
call upon the ''sturdy yeomanry"
of Builoch, Emanuel Screvcn and
other ncighboring counties to come
to his aid in enforcing the law.
1t WIS quite evident that Judge
Speer was fully informed OF the
rapid growth of locker climbs in
this city.
