of the things he has read about and
never dreams of any thing or person

happen at the home or in some place
in which he has actually been, but
never of incidents in other places or in
other lands. Even although he has

GEORGIA CUTS OUT The BOOZE
NEW PROHIBITION LAW GOES IN
TO EFFECT NEW YEAR'S-1O,-
900 OUT OF JOBS.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 31.-With the adj
vent of the new year the law pre-
venting the manufacture and sale OF
intoxicating liquors passed by the last
session of the Legislature becomes eff
f~ective, making Georgia the first Of
the Southern states to be placed in
the prohibition column.
The law prevents the keeping OF civ
ing away of liquors in public places
and imposes Il tax OF $500 on clubs
whose members are allowed to keep
drinks in their individual lockers.
There is some agitation to have the
law declared unconstitutional. The
action may be brought in the United
States court within a month.
1t was said that Atlanta alone would
lose in license taxes $135,6 12 and that
the property value of saloons and
breweries here which will go out of
business on Jan. | is from $1,000, 600
to 81. 10000. For the rest OF the state
the property values involved are about
S., 1000. 900.
1t is estimated that 10000 persons
will lose their employment when Jan.
! rings It's bell on the sale of intOXi~
eating liquors.
That the prohibition law will be en-
forced there is no question. Gov
Smith and the city court officials have
been frank in their statements that
they intend to enforce the laws.

NUDE BODY FOUND IN POND

CRIME WAS COMMITTED WITH

Newark. n. J., Dec. 2S.-A murder
combining all the elements of mystery
and deliberate cruelty that take it out
of the ordinary was committed on the
Hackensack meadows. in the town OF
Harrison, early yesterday. and the
nude body Of the victim, a comedy
woman of perhaps thirty years, nearly

Body Not Identified.
The dead woman was finely featur-

of a recent scrupulous toilet, and such
of her clothing as was subsequently
found suggested in texture and style

The body had not been identified

The most important clue obtained
was furnished last night by Peter Coo

the body as that Of a woman whom he
had seen crossing the meadows in
company with a man early yesterday.
Later he saw the man alone. The man
carried a bundle in his arms. The
man was short and stout.
Two girls returning to their home
in Harrison long after midnight yes

floating over the marsh land. They

Life had been extinct, the O

body was found. A mark on the neck
indicated that strangulation was the
tanner Of death. Scratches on the
leg and trunk and pieces of cinder
forced into the flesh showed that the
body had been dragged along a cinder
path which skirts the pond.

BLOOD MAY BE SHED IF COMPA-

Seattle. Dec. 31.-Washington mill
men are arming their employees to re-
sist any attempts of the railroads to
remove sidetracks in an effort to com
| pei the lumber interests to resume
operations as part Of the projected
campaign to enforce acceptance of the
increased freight tariff to Eastern

Great Northern railway has passed the
word that sidetracks and spurs con-
Meeting lumber and shingle mills with
the main line will be ripped out unless
the mills recede from their hostility.
This has aroused great indignation
among the manufacturers, and they
are ready TO protect their interests
with guns on the slightest %provoca-
ton. Said one OF the leading lumber
men of the state:
Force Justified.
IF the Great Northern carries out
its threat TO remove our Sldetracks
rather than lower its shipping rates to
Eastern points, though | doubt that
President j. J. Hill would resort to
such an expedient, feel that the lum-
bermen would have just cause to arm
their employees with guns to repel any
such attempts. The removal OF spur
tracks would lei financial ruin to
many mills. for it would be at least
two years before connections with the
main lines could or would be replaced
by the railroads. In the eyes of the
law a shotgun course might not be the
right one, but l am certain that the
Great Northern's removal of the spurs
would be equally high-handed and
wrong"
Are Thoroughly Aroused.
Railroad men refuse to discuss the
policy of intimidation reputed to them.
but the lumber interests say the word
was passed out straight, perhaps only
as a feeler or to scare them, but they
are thoroughly aroused and will not
be caught mapping.
Secret meetings have been held to
add defensive plans, and it is almost
certain that bloodshed will follow any
Effort to tear up the tracks. Although
little of this nature has been heard
along the Northern Pacific, a similar
warning has been received in a round
about way by some mills on that line.
4 few Everett mills will resume next
month, but not because of the threat
of the railroads. and all lumbermen
say the fight for the old freight rate
will be continued to the last ditch.

CHINATOWN RAlDED BY MOB.
Fifteen Hundred Men Wreck Oriental
Quarter in Alberta Town.

Quarter in Alberta Town.
Lethbridge, Alb, Dec. 29.-Because
they believed that a prominent citi-
zen had been murdered in a Chinese
restaurant, 1900 men raided and
wrecked the Oriental quarter late
Christmas night. Restaurants and
laundries were smashed and doors,
windows and entire fronts Of build
ings ere reduced to splinters.
The regular police of the town were
powerless and a brigade of mounted
police had to be called out to quell the
riot.
Story Misleads Police.
A story vas circulated that Harry
Smith, a well known cattle rancher,
had been fatally wounded in a restau-
rant. Curiously enough, neither Smith
nor any n else had been hurt, but
even the police were misled by the
tale, and two Orientals were arrested
charged with the murder.
An indignant mob gathered opposite
the restaurant and there was talk of
lynching. Suddenly some one threw
a rock, which smashed a front window.
In a moment the crowd was beyond
control. Bricks and stones were hurl-
ed and when the doors had been
broken In the tables and chairs and
dishes were smashed.
Mayor Appeals to Mob.
The Columbia and Alberta restau-
rants were literally wrecked. Later a
detachment of mounted police appear
ed and the crowd scattered.
Hundreds of the rioters merely
shifted the scene Of %pillaging. Three
blocks away, opposite the Arlington
hotel, they cleaned out another Chi
nese restaurant and roughly handled
two Orientals who were captured with
in. Mayor Galbraith and Magistrate
Townsend both addressed the mob and
urged it to dispense and as all posi-
BILE damage had been done it obeyed.
