GAME WARDEN
ON THE WAR PATH
Virginia Official Wants to Get His
Clutches on Secretary Bryan For
Hunting Without License.

Grim justice is camping On Secre-
tary Bryan's trail in the person of
the game warden of Fairfax county,
Va, who wants only to get his good
right hand on the secretary's broad
shoulder in order to bring him face
to face with the Virginia game law.
The warden charges that on
Christmas day, when, of all days, the
poor little rabbits should have been
safe from gunfire, the secretary hied
himself forth, shotgun on shoulder,
with intent to Stay rabbits. He didn't
slay any, but he intended to, which
at least is violating the law in the
second degree, as the warden sees it,
and now the officer is watchfully
waiting for Mr.. Bryan to come with
in his reach.
For, says he, if our most exalted
personages are to be permitted to
go forth and intend to STAY rabbits,
why should not the humblest among
us, by following this evil example,
be permitted to go and do likewise?

ATLANTA.-Can the governor of
Georgia revoke a pardon or commu-
tation of sentence after he has sign
ed such a paper and it has been en-
tered upon the minutes of the execu-
tive office?
This is a question which the state
prison commission has called upon
Attorney General Grice to answer.
Acting upon the recommendation
of the prison commission Governor
Slaton on December IS last commut-
ed the sentence of Robert Lee, color
ed, to time already served.
Lee had been convicted of a mis-
demeanor and was serving his SEN
tence on the Polk county changing.
There arose some doubt as to his
guilt, which prompted Judge F. A.
Irwin and Solicitor J. A. Wright to
approve his application for executive
cIemency. The negro had also made

CAN GOVERNOR REVOKE PARDON

State Prison Commission Put Question Up to AorneyGen

a model prisoner UP to the time his
application was filed. After grant
ing the Communication Governor Sla-
ton turned the papers over to the
prison commission. Before they
could be served on the warden OF
Polk county Lee escaped from the
gang. The commission then with
held the Communication and recon-
mended to the governor that it be
revoked.
Whether the governor can follow
this last recommendation is ques-
ton which the attorney general must
decide. To a layman it appears that
the signature of the governor to the
paper made it effective and that its
transmission to the prison authori-
ties, to the particular warden in
charge of the convict, would be mere
ly matter of routine so that it could
serve as a receipt for the delivery OF
the convict to freedom.

stronger Law. would HuC Near
Beer Saloons Out of Business and
Stop Illegal Sale of Whiskey.
ATLANTA-An entirely new pro-
hibition law which will be far strong
err and more effective than the pres
ent statute is what the Georgia Anti
Saloon League proposes to seek at
the coming session of the legislature.
G. w. Eichelberger, superintend-
emit of the State Anti-Saloon League,
makes two statements. He says that
the present Georgia prohibition law
is weak and defective and in almost
the same sentence declares there is
not enough sentiment for prohibition
and law enforcement in, Georgia.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Eichelberg-
ers admission of lack of sentiment
in behalf of prohibition he makes it
the announced purpose of the league
to get a new prohibition law this
summer He confidently declares
that eve are going to put the near
beer saloons out of business and get
some enforcement laws that will stop
the illegal selling of liquor"
Between now and the time Of meet
ing of the general assembly it is the
purpose of the Anti-Saloon League,
according to the superintendent, to
arouse a sentiment for a stronger
law and for the more stringent en-
forcement of the prohibition laws al
ready enacted. He says if necessary
they will scatter Georgia knee-deep
in literature against liquor and loose
laws. The trouble with the situation
Mr. Eichelberger says, is that the
work of arousing sentiment has not
been pushed heretofore, but he be-
lieves it is we'll started now.
Superintendent EicheIberger says
that through their work in the south
ern part of the state he has already
put eighty keepers of blind tigers be-
hind the bars and has thirteen more
names of towns to which he proposes
to send detectives. He says the league
has positive information that the near
beer saloons are violating the law by
selling real beer and in many parts
of Georgia by selling whiskey. He
does not blame the saloon keepers so
much as the state. on account of Ii
censing them.
When asked about the Atlanta So
cial clubs Mr.. Eichelberger said it
was not the present intention of the
league to investigate or to attempt to
indict them for violation of the law.
The league, he declared, would not
attempt the impossible.

case to the state supreme court, set
ting up that the sale was made by

"Our train was near Lake FucinO.
There was one shock of great vio-

had been towns I could merely see
enormous whir1winds of dust and

The dispatch adds that almost all
the way to Tivoli buildings along the
railway were in ruins. Troops sent
from Rome rescued hundreds of per-
sons, but in many cases cries for help
we're heard from beneath ruined
buildings.
It is estimated that 1000 persons
