Relatives Of Anthony William Hol
felner, the student burglar shot ant
killed Monday by Franklin Schappelle
a member of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, have failed to reach the city.
Frank Holfelner. retired carpenter
of Buffalo. n. Y, father of the slair
boy, telegraphed the Coroner's offic,
yesterday that he would come to Phila
delphia. Detectives also were in com
munication with Louis Holfelner, q
travelling salesman, brother of the stu
dent who led the dual life that caused
his death. He is believed to be on his
way.
The last train from Buffalo today
reached the city, but no members of the
family were on board.
The date for the Coroner's inquest
has not been set.
Professor Schappelle's attitude to
ward the shooting was explained today
by Albert p. Handy, his attorney.
Repeated reports that the professor
feels no remorse for the killing are en- =
barrassing to him. Mr.. Handy said.
"He does feel sorry for the youth, but
at the time of the affair he could not
tell whether the man was a university
student or an iliterate, an aristocrat
or a burglar, and believed it was u
case of shoot or be shot.
HE was sorry even then, but thought
he was shooting to protect the livC+
of himself and fraternity brothers.

"DRyS" ATTEMPT
To CURB RADICALS
House Prohibition Leaders Fear
Drastic Enforcement viii
lmpcril Cause
PRIVATE JUG IS IN DANGER
Representative Pou's Warning
Against Extremes Leads to
Many Conferences

Washington, July 1T.-Conservntiv'
members of the prohibition faction In
the House set out yesterday TO curb
what they described as radical attempts
to make the pending enforcement bill sc
drastic that it might cause n rcvulsion
of feeling throughout the caentry on
the whole question Of liquor drinking.
Warning was given by the conserya
tives that if the radical element went
too far and added other severe restriC
tions they would be certain to invite
defeat in the Senate and possibly find
all of their work thrown out by prcst-
Dental veto.
The need of wise counsel was pointed
out by the conservative prohihitioniStS
In view of the published announcement
that Representative Morgan, of Okla
homa, a member of the judiciary com
mittee, had given notice he would
endeavor to make 1t violation of law
for man to keep jug of liquor III
his own home for his own use.
Word was spread during the dav that
other prohibitionists were preparing to
write into the bill provision. stricken
out by the committee. which would
prohibit a mans using any littI"
liquor he might happen to have around
the house Under the bill now before
the House. it is extremely doubtful, n
member Of the Judiciary committee said.
whether a person could give a drink Of
whisky to friend at his own tircside
without running the risk of arrest.
There were many informal confer =
ences at which some of the drastic
provisions of the bill. ms pointed out
by Representative Pou. of North Car
olina and a pioneer prohibitionist, were
called to check the radicals.
The farmers wife, who makes a
quart of blackberry wine at home fo"
use in her own family, Mr.. Pou said.
could be prosecuted and sent 90 Jail.
The farmers home. where littI"
cider is made for the family. would be-
a nuisance under the law, according
TO Mr.. Pou, who declared that Russia
in the days of the cars highest power
never made a law that was so far
reaching.
Members from some of the southern
states were questioned by eastern and
western representatives as to the volume
of LIQUOR turned out BY mountain dis
tilleries and known as "mOOnShine.
Mr.. Pou told the House the other day
that in a dozen states, that have al
ready adopted prohibition. there are in
operation more illicit stills than there
ever were saloons at any time in the
history of those states.
Indications are that consideration of
the measure will not be resumed today.

] will be only too glad to accord the
new trial asked for. "A jury of your
peers found you guilty and we could
impose n sentence that would imprison
you for a lengthy time, but we are
not disposed to do this nor do we feel
that all should receive the same sen =
tence, as we do not believe all as guilty
as some others"
Trial Changed to West Chester
The trial was held in the court at
West Chester after the defendants in =
sisted that they would not receive a
fair trial in the Philadelphia courts.
Deutsch, who was the most prominent
of the defendants at West Chester, was
South street butcher and for years
follower of James A. Carey, former
leader of the Bloody Fifth" Later
Deutsch became Ware leader in the
ward and Carey's opponent.
Lieutenant Bennett. acting under
Deutsch. was charged with having
thrown the power of the police in the
Fifth ward to the Wares during the
primary election campaign in Septem-
Der, 1917. A reign of terror in the
ward followed, in which there were
raids. numerous political arrests and
clubbings and finally the bloody riot
ing of primary day.
Detective Epplcy was fatally wound =
ed by a revolver shot fired by one of
gang of New York gunner imported
here to intimidate the voters. At the
same time Assistant District Attorney
James NJ. Maurer was badly beaten.
Carey was also attacked and injured.
Various arrests grew out of the case.
Mayor Smith was arrested, as was Will
liam f. Finley, councilman and head
of the Republican city committee. The
thugs were arrested for actual partici-
patton in the rioting and are now serv
ing prison sentences here.
