Prohibition May Become
Effective Jan. |, 1917

Atlanta, Sept. 29.-Reliable in
formation is to the effect that an
arrangement has practically been
perfected whereby whatever pro-
hibition bill may be passed at the
extraordinary session of the leg
islature will be so drawn as not
to affect the states revenue for
the year 1916. The bill will be
made to become effective Janu-
airy /, 1917.
The passage of bill eliminat
ing the traffic in near beer, there
by removing the state tax on the
beverage, will take away from
the state an annual revenue of
1925, 600, which, with the pres
ent deficit of $4,000 or more to
be met this year and next, would
put upon the state a financial
burden it would be difficult to
meet.
Just how this condition is 60
ing to be improved in 1917 is not
indicated, but many legislators
are DESTROYS that the curtailment
of the state revenue by $3.50, 900
be postponed for the year 1916.
In addition to this information
received Monday from one of the
members prominent in the anti
prohibition fight at the regular
session, it was stated that a new
local option bill will be introduc.
ed, providing that the general
question Of iron. clad" prohibit
ton shall be submitted to vote
of the people at the next general
election.

Appeal Has Been
FiledBy Ger
man Dynamitel

Boston, Sept. 20. Werner
Horn, the German army reservist
who tried to blow up the inter-
national bridge between Canada
and the United States at Vance
boro, Maine, last February, today
filed an appeal from the federal
court decision denying his release
on a writ of habeas corpus.
Through his counsel the prisoner
questions the regularity of the
extradition proceeding by which
he was removed from Maine to
Massachusetts, and also the
courts refusal to permit him to
invoke the law of nations, or pre-
sent a commission as an officer
in the German army in defence
of his action.
The appeal will be heard by
the federal circuit court of ap-
peals which begins a sitting here
next Monday. Horn is awaiting
trial on a charge of illegal trans
portation of dynamite from New
York to Vanceboro.

these circulatory troubles have
