FIGHT OVER PROHIBITION.
Precipitated in Georgia Legislature
Thursday Morning.

The prohibition fight promised the
Georgia State legislature took def
mite form in the upper House Thurs
day, when Senator Hi1on, Of the
Thirty-seventh District, introduced a
bill to make the federal Webb law
applicable to Georgia. Senator Hix-
on's measure, he declared, has the
hearty approval of the Georgia Anti
Saloon League and other prohibition
organizations, and was introduced at
their behest.
Briefly, the measure provides that
mo malt, spirituous or vinous liquor
can be brought into Georgia by any
common carrier. Following the in
tant of the Webb law it will prevent
all liquor shipments into the state OF
Georgia, notably from Tennessee and
Florida. The Webb bill was intended
to confer upon states the right to
legislate in this manner and not be in
violation Of the interstate commerce
laws.
The measure means the precipita-
ton of a straight-line prohibition
fight in the legislature. Senator
Hixon, sponsor for the bill In the
upper House, will, with Senator W..
E. H. searcy, lead the fight for the
prohibitionists. Representative ]. E..
Sheppard, Of Sumter, doubtless, will
lead the prohibition forces in the
lower House.
Upon this bill the pronib1tionists,
it is understood, are pinning their
whole hopes. No other anti-liquor
legislation will be sent in with their
support, it is said. The whole fight
will be directed towards the passage
Of the bill which makes the Webb law
applicable to Georgia.

PUT TUBE OF COMPRESSED air
MACHINE In his MOUTH
VIOLENCE IS INDICATED
Arrested and Held for Trial the Boys
Maintain That it Was Only a Prac-
teal Joke, Which They Attempted
Without an Idea Of Harming Their
COmrade

At Camden, n. j., Joseph De Fine,
an eighteen-year-old employee of the
Victor Talking Machine plant, locat-
ed there, died Monday night in an
ambulance that was taking him to
the Cooper hospital. Two boys, one
seventeen and the other sixteec. now
under arrest, have admitted to the
police that without realizing what
would be the consequences of their
act they persuaded De Fine to pat
the brass tube of compressed air
machine into his mouth and then
turned on the air full and violently
into the lads body, rupturing his
stomach and the intestines. The
boys are Eugene Byscher Of No. 21l
South Fifth street, Philadelphia, and
Walter Simon of No. 1928 High
street, Camden. Young De Fine liv-
ed with his parents at No. 704 CHS
tian street, Philadelphia.
1t was during the noon hour at the
plant that De Fine was tortured.
Three new compressed air machines
had been placed in the plant in the
morning and the boys, in the idle
noon hour, spent some time seeing
how the machines worked. There
was none to witness what really oc-
Cured when De Fine received his in
juries. The other lads came running
into the Office, saying that De Fine
was sick. The men who went to in
vestigate found him unconscious and
gasping, his face empurpled.
The superficial examination made
by an ambulance physician indicated
that the boy was suffering from heart
disease in conjunction with a fit. 1t
is believed that the frightened tor
turers lost considerable time before
calling for aid in efforts they them
selves made to revive their victim,
but in any event De Fines injuries
were so terrible that he could not
have recovered. He was dead before
the ambulance had gone three blocks
on the way to the hospital.
When the body was stripped fo-
examination at the hospital Coroner
Bentley and physicians noted the
greatly swollen condition of the body
and later, it was said, that marks OF
violence were found on the boys
arms and throat, which may at the
Coroner's inquest be adduced as con-
tradicting the story that Byscher and
Simon tell.
They were arrested and committed
by Justice Huyett in default of ST.
600 bail each ON charge of afro
cious assault. The detectives say the
boys protest that they had no grudge
or ill-will against De Fine and that
their only notion in submitting him
to the powerful shock of compressed
air was by way Of playing "joke'
on him. They assert, despite the
marks Of bruises on his arms and
neck that they did not force the tube
down his throat. They deny that
they held him down and forcibly
kept the tube in his mouth after they
had persuaded him, as they say, to
insert it.
