PROHIBITION RESULTS.

To those who claim that prohibition does not
prohibit and that disorder does not exist any
more in places where the sale Of liquor is al
lowed than It does in places where prohibition
prevails, We append two reports for the month
Of February. One from the Farmville Herald on
the dry town Of Lewiston, with 10000 people
largely laborers and mechanics in the iron and
steel industry; the other from the Newport News

GERMANS FROWN
0NATR0C|TY YARNS
NEWSPAPERS ADVISED AGAINST
PUBLISHING REPORTS THAT
MAY BE UNTRUE.

Berlin, Jan. 15.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-The Bavar
ian war ministry, in a circular warn.
ing newspapers against disregarding
the rules of censorship, says of par.
ticular case:
''The Munich-Augsburg Evening Ga.
zette published in No. 325 an article
written by Hans Bayerl In Ratisbon,
entitled "England's and Frances Col
ored Troops" in which horrible atroci.
ties were reported. The official inves'
tigation has disclosed that the author
is not able to adduce the slightest
proof for his assertions. Inasmuch as
the populace is needlessly aroused by
such thoughtless articles, written only
for the sake of coarse sensation the
editors of this newspaper must be
strongly warned against giving space
to such articles hereafter"
While the authorities Of the other
German states have not taken similar
action in regard to atrocity tales,
such stol'es have practically disap-
peared from all but few of the less
responsible papers. A great part of
the credit for the saner mood now pre-
vailing in this regard Is given to the
socialist paper Vorwaerts, which from
the first set out Immediately to show
the groundlessness of atrocity tales.

of Case After Nine Years
Is TOLD THAT HIS SERVICES Ae
SPECIAL COUNSEL ARE NOT

New York, Jan. 27-For the first
time in nearly nine years that the
case of Harry X Thaw has been be-
fore the courts Of this state, William
T. Jerome, former district attorney
Of New York county, will not appear
for the state today when Thaw Is
brought before Justice Davis in the
supreme court to plead to an indict-
ment for conspiracy to escape from
the Matteawan asylum for the Grim.
inal insane. Mr.. Jerome's connection
with the case ended yesterday when
he was relieved from duty as a spe-
cial deputy attorney general by At
torney General, Egburt q. Woodbury..
Franklin Kennedy, deputy attorney
general, will hereafter have charge Of
the case for the state.
John B. Stanchfeld Of Thaw's coun-
sci said the removal Of Jerome would
not. in any way affect his plans for
the liberation Of Thaw. He will ad.
wise Thaw to plead not guilty to the
Indictment for conspiracy. No request
for bail will be made, he said, but JUS
tice Davis will be asked to commit
Thaw to Bellevue hospital for exam
ination as a suspected insane person.
II that request Is refused and Deputy
Attorney Kennedy asks for Thaw's
