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.
Emperor William, of Germany, repeated
011 his fifty-eighth birthday
anniversary Saturday his promise
previously made to the German army
that Germany would enforce peace
with the sword. His message was
sent to Berlin from the German great
headquarters in reply to birthdaycongratulations,
according to German
newspapers. The emperor's declaration
was made in the face of expectations
in some of the entente capi
tals that he would make a notable
peace move in an address he was expected
to deliver at a meeting of
Teutonic state, military and naval
leaders, assembled at the headquarters
to celebrate the anniversary.
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.
