GETS TUBE MEAL. Mrs. Byrne Forcibly Fed for First Time. New York, Jan. 27.?.Mrs. Ethel Byrne, who began a hunger strike when she was sentenced to 30 days in the penitentiary on Black well's j Island last Monday for birth control | propaganda, was subjected to forcible feeding late today for the first time since she began her prison term. A bulletin issued by the physician in charge declared Mrs. Byrne "offered no resistance" and indicated that she was willing to receive food, "but made no effort to take it of her own accord." The food, adminis tered through a mouth tube, consisted of a pint of milk, two eggs and some brandy. One-sixteenth of a grain of strychnine also was given. Concerning Mrs. Byrne's physical condition, the bulletin said her blood pressure, respiration and pulse were normal; temperature slightly subnormal," and that she was "generally improved." She had taken no exercise today and her face and hands were washed for her, the bulletin said. The decision to feed Mrs. Byrne forcibly was reached last night, after the physicians had come to regard ac Han?prnus. At that UQi VVUUiwvu uw ?? ? 0. time she was given eggs and milk through a mouth tube. Her sister, Mrs. Margaret Sanger, who is facing trial on a charge of spreading birth control propaganda, issued a statement early today that Mrs. Byrne had become unconscious and was in a precarious condition. Repeated appeals of Mrs. Sanger for permission to visit her sister were denied by the authorities. Her lawyer also was refused a permit to see her. Later he issued a statement in which he characterized as ''untrue" the statement of the prison officials that Mrs. Byrne took food without assistance. ASK FOR LICENSE. Delegation From Charleston Appears Before Judiciary Committee. Columbia, Jan. 25.?License to cities of over 40,000 population to sell light wines and beer was the plea presented to the judiciary committee of the house this afternoon by prominent men of Charleston. Mr. Joseph Fromberg, a member of the house from Charleston, opened the discussion by stating the purpose of his bill. Mr. Fromberg said: io o nrmricinn in the COn 1 UCIC 1C ?* JJ/4V/ . ? stitution now that prohibits the general assembly from delegating to cities the power of licensing the sale of alcoholic beverages. This' bill seeks to repeal this provision and to amend the constitution so as to allow municipalities of over 40,000 population to license the sale of light: wines and beer under such restrictions as the general assembly may impose. "As a constitutional amendment, this bill would have to be passed by a two-thirds vote of the house and senate, then be sent to the people to \ be voted on two years hence in the regular election for the house of representatives. This measure is a temperance one and a compromise one. The people of Charleston will never be satisfied until they get a high license system?then and then only will the people see that the laws are strictly and properly enforced." Mr. Fromberg pointed out that on account of Charleston being a seaport town the population was composed of all sorts and creeds of peoand that the conditions were W**wv necessarily complex. JAILER HEARD XOISE. Got Busy and Kept Marlboro Prisoners From Escaping;. Bennettsville, Jan. 26.?A well planned jail delivery was discovered early Wednesday night by Jailer Hubbard in time to prevent the escape of the twelve prisoners in jail. Shortly after 10 o'clock Mr. Hubbard detected the sound of what he thought was the sawing of the prison bars. He made his way to the room from which the stairs lead to the cells above, and then crawled to the top of the stairs. There he saw what was going on and watched the negroes for a short time. Warren Stubbs, charged with house breaking and larceny, had been left in the "run around" to keep up the fires and he was working with a hack saw on the bars on the outer windows. Allen Beatty, charged with larceny, was on the inside of the vaults, at work with another hack ' A- -A K/v+V, saw. two Dars were uui m uum places. Sheriff Patterson was called and a search revealed a two-fork crow bar, a hack saw and several hack sawblades. The negroes implicate outsiders and say that the tools were secured by means of a string let down from the inside. Other arrests will be made in connection with the attempt to escape. The Conebo, Shippo, Cocoamo and Yahua tribes of Amazon Indians are still wearing clothes of grass. ENFORCE PEACE WITH SWOHl). Kaiser Repeats I*romise Previously Made to His Armies.

On Battle Fronts. The victory of Hill 304, in the Verdun sector, and the Riga region of the Northern Russian-German front continue to be the chief centre of military activity. After subjecting the German defense works at Eparges and Hill 304 to an intense bombardment, the French stormed the trenches recently occupied by the Germans, but, according to the Berlin war office, the attack failed with heavy losses. Fresh Russian troops have reinforced the line east of the river Aa in the Riga district, but were unable tc drive the Germans from ground they recently captured. On the other hand, German attempts to throw back the Russian line in the vicinity of Kalnzem were unsuccessful. The artillery has been active on the Franco-Belgian line between the Somme and the Ancre rivers, as well as in the vicinity of Riga. After eleven hours of desperate fighting the Roumanians have forced backward the Teutonic troops south of the Kasino and Suchitza valleys in Moldavia. Activity on the other fronts is limited mainly to artillery duels, trench raids and aerial combats. NOVEL SPARTANBURG SUIT. Verdict Against Bakery for Burning Fruit Cakes.
