BARI EYCORN'S GHOST
BOBS UP IN CONGRESS
PLAN TO PUT THROUGH A
MEASURE TO KEEP JOHN
COMPLETELY DEAD.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The ghost
of Tohn Barleycorn will bob up in con-
qress again next week at house judi
ciarv committee hearings on Chairman
Volstead's bill to keep him completely
dead.
Enemies of the departed plan to de
liver final whack. Considering the
dry composition of the house, mem,
bers predict that the new Volstead
measure designed to prohibit sale OF
beer to the sick will pass.
A flood of petitions has reached Mr.
Volstead for and against the added re-
striction. Doctors seem to be divided
about ffty-ffty, according to the let
ters on medical beer.
So the committee agreed to hear
them all, beginning Thursday, and
then, Mr.. Volstead predicted, put
through the bill designed to put med
ical beer in a grave all its own.
Aside from Mr.. Volstead's tighten
ing-up measure three OF four Others
affecting prohibition are pending. The
bill which would permit American
ships to sell liquor beyond the three
mile limit will be considered by the
merchant marine committee, but the
Volstead committee will pass on the
Hill bill to repeal the prohibition en-
forcement act, and also the Wood bill
transferring enforcement from the
treasury to the department OF justice

Carrying Out Native Custom, Man
Twisted OFF Wife's Ears.

faithful wife should" declared Frank
Miller, who early yesterday twisted off
his wife's ears because she had given
her love to Joe Romanhoff. Il will

Miller explained he was carrying
out custom of his native land in
marking Mrs. Miller as an unfaithful
wife
He pleaded at the county jail to be
allowed tc return home and put his
four small children to bed, while the
children fearing their mother refused
to remain at home.
Mama will come home and cause
trouble" they told Mrs. Miller's broth
er, who was forced to take them to
neighbors.
Despite the brutal attack neighbors
of the Millers and relatives today Of

STATE ANTI-SPEED
LAW HELD INVALID
ASSEMBLY PASSED LAW AT A
SPECIAL SESSION NOT CALL
ED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

New trials for all defendants con-
victed of manslaughter or any other
form of homicide, in automobile
deaths, under the act of the Georgia
legislature passed at the 1915 extra
ordinary session, is forecast in a
decision handed down by the Georgia
supreme court Friday, holding uncon-
stitutional the state law setting an au-
tomobile speed limit of 80 miles an
hour and prohibiting the driving OF
an automobile while intoxicated.
The decision reversed the Fulton
superior court in the case OF Charles
tones. a negro. who ran down and
killed young Hoke Smith Lee near
Hapeville several months ago.
The supreme court Friday in a de
cision written by Judge w. H. Fish,
and in which all the justices concurr-
ed. gave Jones a new trial on the point
raised by Judge James K. Hines, his
attorney, to the effect that the law
under which Jones was convicted
the act passed at the 1915 special ses-
sion OF the general assembly-was
unconstitutional because the governor
had not called the legislature in ses-
sion for the purpose OF passing the act.
Judge Hines contended that under
the law, a special legislature can do
only those things which the governor
calls it to do and that the law COM
planned OF was not included III the sub
iect matter OF the call The governor
called the special session to consider
prohibition and other matters, but not
to pass any law regarding the driving
of automobiles.

Attorney Cooper Fined
By Court for Use of
Alleged Vulgar Remark

OUITMAN, Ga.-Attorney John
R. Cooper, of Macon, former candi-
date for governor and United States
senate, counsel for ]. Lewis Hamlin,
charged with attempting to make a
criminal assault on young lady OF
Valdosta, was given severe repri-
mand and fined by Judge Thomas in
the criminal superior court this morn
ing. Reprimand and fine came imme-
diately upon the heels of verdict in
the Hamlin case, which resulted in a
verdict of guilty and sentence of one
year i'll the penitentiary. Soon as the
verdict was read Mr.. Cooper arose. to
make a motion for new trial, but
Judge Thomas asked him to sit down
as he wanted to make statement
from the bench, in which he said Mr..
Cooper went entirely out OF the rec
ord in making vulgar remarks on the
case, and imposed fine of SIS.
Mr.. Cooper was on his feet imme-
diately with an apology, but Judge
Thomas said the incident was closed.
Mr.. Cooper then made a motion for
new trial for his client.

STAR BUNCO MAN
WILL GIVE NAMES
IT. c. M'BRIDGE ARRESTED IN
BALTIMORE SAYS HE WILL
TELL ALL HE KNOWS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Atlanta' famous
"bunco" probe which has been lagg-
ing along for several weeks after a
sensational start, now gives promise
of blossoming into real riot since
the arrest in Baltimore of ]. c. Nc
Bride, admitted lieutenant of Floyd
Woodward and proprietor OF the re-
sort on Central avenue which was
raided by the solicitor general at the
start of the crusade against gambling
in the city.
Probably no one is able to shed
more light on the Vaccinations OF
the underworld in Atlanta than Nc
Bride. He is quoted in dispatches from
Baltimore as saying that he has all his
records and that since he is to be pros
ecuted for running a gambling house
he is going to give the solicitor gen
eral a chance to show his good faith
by giving him the names OF more
than 1,500 Atlantians who have gam
bted in his house and who under the
law are equally guilty OF crime.
Will Tell on Prominent Citizens.
Mcbride is said to have declared
that some of the most prominent cit
liens OF Atlanta have patronized his
games of chance, from making books
on horse races to shooting the lowly
craps and that he is going to peach"
on the whole works as we'll as those
in official life who have accepted mon
ey for providing immunity and then
double-crossing the sporting fraterni-
ty.
Both sides in the bunco probe pro-
fess to be very eager to have Nc
Bride take the stand in the councilman
ic investigation; detectives now put
ting up their defense say that he will
place the onus OF having been pro-
tected on the state court, while the
representatives of the state declare
that he will bear them out in their
contention that the detective depart
ment has either been corrupt or negli-
gent. Both admit that Mcbride knows
all about the confidence and gambling
schemes that have been perpetrated
here in recent years.
Mcbride, who was on bridal tour
was arrested by postal inspectors on
a federal warrant, but it is possible
that the government may permit him
to testify.

TWO PASSENGERS KILL THEMSELVES
BYLEAPING INTO THE SEA FROM LINER

from stem to stern, but the man was

On the following day at 1880
O'Clock in the morning Walter Forbes,
forty-fve years old, who lived in De
troit, came out on the promenade deck
and, poising himself on the rail: jump
ed into the sea. The boatswain who
saw him leap raised the cry and the
Algeria was brought to stop. Before
she had lost her momentum, however,
lifeboat manned by eight men and
George Young, the second officer, was
lowered over the side. When it clear
ed the falls it was spun around and
the second officer was hurled over
board. He was hauled in quickly by
his mates and the boat then headed
for Forbes, who had been trying to
clutch a life ring that had been thrown
to him soon after he jumped from the
deck
An hours search in the vicinity
failed to find Forbes and the Algeria
proceeded on her course.

JAZZ MAKES 'EM
WILD, TEST SHOWS
IN N. Y. zoo DIS
PLAY BETTER TASTE THAN
MANY HUMAN BEINGS.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Humans may
like Jazz, but animals don't. This was
the conclusion reached by group OF
scientists who recently assembled in
the Central park ZOO to see what a
saxaphone and traps would do to the
emotions of monkeys, lions, leopards,
elephants and other jungle beasts.
A quintet of musicians, guaranteed
to rag anything, was massed in front
OF the moneky cages for the first labo-
ratory test to determine whether the
line music hath charms to soothe the
savage beast" was, after all, only poet
ic license.
According to a corps OF unscien-
tifc reporters who journeyed to the
zoo with scientists from Columbia uni
versity, American Museum of Natural
History and New York Geological
park, the monkeys registered emotion
all right-but OF rather savage kind.
Then the latest jazz was banged
into the ears of lions and their mates.
All hoped to their feet, with fur
bristling.
AS for Mrs. Murphy. hippopotamus,
she merely wrecked the experiment by
diving into her tank and shutting out
the racket The elephants seemed to
tremble with rage.
Only one beast was found that ap-
parently was able to endure, il not
enjoy, jazz That was Bagheeta, the
leopardess But when a hymn was
played she started six day race
around her cage. splitting sparks. The
scientists, however, put a question
mark after Bagheeta's test, for atten-
tion was called to the fact that, at the
moment, keeper whom she chose to
relish only as a potential meal, had
lust passed her cage.

MILLION DRUG ADDICTS
IN THE UNITED STATES
VAST SUMS ARE SPENT IN UN-
THE UNLAWFUL DISTRIBU-
TION OF DOPE"

The most dangerous agent OF vice
and crime in America today is the IL
licit drug bootlegger, say federal au-
thorities.
Operating through highly organiz-
ed syndicates,. and supplied by inter
national smugglers, the dope peddler
has in this country more than a mil
lion clients.
L. G. Mutt, director of the federal
narcotic field force, says thousands OF
addicts are young men and young
women. He declares there has been a
great increase in the number of girls
of respectable families who have been
lured into drug rings"
Toledo, O., is said by government
operatives for the narcotic field force
to be the chief distributing point in
the United States. and from there the
underground channels ramify to other
cities as far away as the Pacific coast
and the gulf.
The big volume of opium and CO.
caine enters the United States at the
port of New York, is there safeguard
ed by counterfeit labels, routed
through Canada and again enters the
country through Toledo.
One dope syndicate in that city is
| known to government agents to be
financed to the extent Of $500,OO0 and
has $150,000 always available for de
fense of arrested hirelings, though
none of the principals have ever been
apprehended. -.
The chief source of supply is said
to be certain English interests.
Legitimate importations OF opium
in 1917 ran to 86,812 pounds and in
1920 jumped to 628,971 pounds, &C
cording to the governments month
| lv summary of commerce. Thus far
in 1921 there is a considerable drop.
Available statistics show about an
equal number of men and women ad-
diets throughout the country.
The class of addicts which consti-
tute public menace through crime
or degeneracy are almost wholly sup
piled through illicit channels.
All drug users are not to be Jumped
in one class, authorities state. Many,
they point out, are such because OF
protracted medication with opiateS:
Generally, it is maintained, cases OF
medical origin in the opiate division
remain on practically level as they
were before, particularly when the
dosage is small.
The Harrison narcotic act recog-
nizes these distinctions in the cause
and nature of addiction, but does con-
cede the use of drugs merely to re-
lieve. the cravings of the. confirmed
user not otherwise diseased.
The law is rapidly tightening up
sources of hitherto legitimate sup
plies, and thousands of habitues con-
fronted with this situation have elect
ed to get their supply from under
world sources at exorbitant prices.

WATSON AND HARRIS
FIGHT IMMIGRATION
FOREMOST IN AN EFFORT TO
KEEP OUT EUROPEAN AN
ARCHISTS AND OTHERS.
JUNIOR SENATOR In DEBATE
Says There's a "Colored Gentleman
In the Woodpile." Trammell, of
Florida, Vigorously Supported the
Georgians's Position.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-When
Senator Tom Watson, of Georgia,
said in the debate on the immigration
bill that the "nigger in the woodpile"
is cheap labor he voiced the senti-
ment of thousands of forward thinking
people in the United States. He has
been foremost, as has been Senator
Harris, in his efforts to prevent the
anarchists, thugs, red necks, bolshev-
lists and that cast off generally from
Europe from entering this country.
1t was his firm conviction that he
wanted none of the scum OF the earth
here.
Senator Watson was supported in
this position by Senator Park Tram
nell, OF Florida, and w. J. Harris, of
Georgia; who we're equally as vigor-
Gus iii their opposition to any bill that
would continue to permit the worth
less from foreign lands coming to the
United States.
Senator Harris position is already
we'll known. He wanted all immigra-
ton stayed for a period of five years
and said that it would take this long
for the war-ridden countries of Eu-
rope to get on their feet again and to
be able to utilize their people and not
dumpt them on the United States.
Senator Trammell offered an
amendment to the bill making the time
limit two years, and said:
AT this particular time when bus
mess institutions are more or less dis
organized, when we are just rallying
from the staggering influences of the
war, when, we have labor idle by the
millions here in this country, | cannot
see why we want to invite very cor
daily others to come here. What ser
vice or benefit will they be to Amer
lea?
I'VE have heard great deal about
| America first, and | heartily share III
! these sentiments when they are sin
cerely spoken, because | sincerely be
liev in America first and in standing
by our own flag and our country; but
what benefit are we to derive iron
| having immigration come here? | be
lieve we should prohibit it absolutely
for two years and give the nation al
opportunity to 60 through the recon
struction period"
Senator Watson said: 1--WE do no
want little Germans here that speal
German and have German customs
German ideas and nothing in the worlc
but German love. The same can bC
said OF little Italys and little Rus
SLAMS.
"All this talk about steamship com
panies fails to appeal to me. There il
a colored gentleman in the woodpilt
whose name has not been mentioned
and that colored gentleman is cheaI
labor. The steamship company is nj
the only offender in this regard. There
must be an accomplice somewhere
AS a matter of fact there are sew,
eral accomplices There are various
interests that want more people
brought here to compete with those
who are already here.
"A few years ago the whole country
was Mortified by conditions that exist.

that 81 different languages were spo-
