BOYS KILL FRIEND i ? ? PUT TUBE Of COMPRESSED AID MACHINE IN HIS MOUTH VIOLENCE IS INDICATED Arrested and Held for Trial the llov* Maintain That it Was Only a Practical Joke, Which They Attempted Without an Idea of Ilurining Their Comrade. At Camden, N. J., Joseph De Fine, an eighteen-year-old employee of the Victor Talking Machine plant, located there, died Monday night in an ambulance that was taking him tc the Cooper hospital. Two boys, one seventeen and the other sixteen, now under arrest, have admitted to the police that without realizing what would be the consequences of their act they persuaded De Fine to put tho brass tube of a compressed air machine into his mouth and then turned 011 the air full and violently into the lad's .body, rupturing his stomach and the intestines. The boys are Eugene Rysclier of No. 211 South Fifth street, Philadelphia, and Walter Simon of No. 2923 lligli street, Camden. Young Do Fine lived with his parents at No. 704 Chist.ian street, Philadelphia. If U * O a flnriir or 1 lr A " * 4 K - v n uu v? u i iil^ U1U HUUil UUlll iVt tilt plant that I)e Fine was tortured Three new compresed air machines had been placed in the plant in the morning and the hoys, in the idle noon hour, spent some time seeing how the machines worked. There was none to witness what really oc curreel when l)e Fine received his in juries. The other lads came running into the otllce, saying that Dc Fine was sick. The men who went to in vestigate found him unconscious anc gasping, his face empurpled. The superficial examination made by an ambulance physician indicatec that the boy was suffering from hear disease in conjunction with a fit. I l is believed that the frighteneel tor turers lost considerable time befori calling for aid in efforts they them selves made to revive their victim r. but in any event De Fine's injuriei were so terrible that he could no have recovered. lie was dead befor< the ambulance had gone three block on the way to the hospital. When the body was stripped fo examination at tho hospital Corone lientley and physicians noted tin greatly swollen condition of the bod; and later, it was said, that marks o violence were found on tho boy' arms and throat, which may at tin Coroner's inquest be adduced as con tradicting the story that Byscher am Simon tell. They were arrested and committei by Justice Huyett in default of $1, 000 bail each on a charge of atro clous assault. The detectives say th boys protest that they had no grudg or ill-will against De Fine and tha their only notion in submitting hir to the powerful shock of compresse air was by way of playing a "joke on him. They assert, despite th marks of bruises on his arms an neck that they did not force the tub down his throat. They deny tha they held him down and forcibl kept the tube in his mouth after the had persuaded him, as they say, t insert it. ? HAVE HOT WORDS. ? Congressman Warm Up In Presone of President Wilson.

BATHER S HEART FAILS ? - Willi,F IN TIIK Sl'ltF AT TIIF ISLE OF I'AIiMS. ? . II. Marvin Allison, of Atlanta, At* * tending Dentists* (Vmvention, Meets Sad Fate. t H. Marvin Allison, of Atlanta, . travelling representative of the i Johnson-Lund Company, of Atlanta. dealers in dental supplies, met death . in the surf in front of the pavilion . at the Isle of Palms, at about four o'clock Friday afternoon, llis death j is believed to have been due to heart , failure rather than drowning, and ? this was stated to be the opinion giv, en by Dr. Simpson, surgeon at the j army post, who was summoned by r telephone. Mr. Allison was in water I deep enough to cover him, but his . head never went below the surface. , Mr. Allison had been at the Isle of Palms since last Thursday in connection with the meeting of the Dental . Association. Friday afternoon ho _ was going in bathing with Dr. M. II. . Yarn and Mrs. Yarn, of Atlanta. Dr. j and Mrs. Yarn went down to the beach tirst, but before going into the ? water, stopped to pick up some shells. Dr. Yarn then returned with the shells and left them at the cigar 1 stand. In the meantime Mr. Allison had gone down to the beach and en_ tered the surf. Dr. Yarn, after leaving the shells, was returning when Y he heard cries for help and saw several men pulling Mr. Allison out of . the water. a Allison was not at a great distance 3 from the shore, liis cries for help 3 seem to have been heard by several 3 bathers, but some at least of these , seemed to think the man was not in i earnest as his head did not go under 0 water, and others failed to locate the 1 cries. The first man to reach him - was Mr. J. P. Mayes, who caught - him first by the head and then by :1 the middle of the back and pushed :1 him toward the shore. T. W. Winston went to Mayes' assistance and y C. S. Mixon, of Augusta, was the a next man to reach him. These three n kept Allison afloat until the life raft, k launched by the Island life-savers, g who rushed from the pavilion, reachd ed the scene. Allison was then stretched out on the beach and ef11 forts were made to resuscitate him :. by Dr. Truluck, of Olanta, S. C., who s was the first physician to reach him. y Another physician soon arrived and also Dr. Simpson, who had been sume moned by 'phono from the army !- post. All efforts to revive Allison g were vain, however. He was then rei moved to the bath house and in n r- short time was pronounced dead, y Very little water was found in his lungs, so lltle that it is believed that his death could not have ben due tc drowning but was probably caused by heart failure. Dr. Varn stated that this was the opinion given by Dr. Simpson. Restoratives could nol be immediately secured, though bystanders furnished ammonia anc ? some whiskey was secured. Mr. Allison was a man of about twenty-seven years of age. He wat ' physically strong, being about 5 feet 1 1 inches in height, and weight aboui ?_ 175 pounds. He was a good swim mer. Ho is survived by his father j_ who lives near Hendersonville, N. C. and by a brother, C. N. Allison, wlu ^ also travels for the Johnson-Dune Company. The J. M. Connelley Com pany took charge of the body which will bo shipped to Atlanta. Allison bad boon in swlmmini either once or twice Friday befor< the fatal accident occurred and ha< been in the habit of going in thre< l(j or four times every day. The tid< at the time was rather low and wai :o ebbing. in ;e WIFE STOPPED MARRIAGE. a_ \ow Yorker,.

CloniMon (1olleno K\|n?rt (iivos ltulcs to Prevent Spread. Mr. Kay Powers, one of the expert in charge of the Cloinson College Kxtension work, gives the following rules to prevent the spread of cholera: By failure to properly dispose of tho carcasses of dead hogs. Buzzards, dogs, and other animals feed | upon these carcasses and carrv in fection to other premises. All carcasses should be burned or burled immediately. (This is now required by State law) and buzzards should be destroyed In communities where they are not protected by law. In communities whore these scavengers are thus protected, the law should be repealed and the birds destroyed. By persons walking through yards or fields where sick hogs are kept and carrying tlie infection on their shoes and clothing to other premises where healthy hogs are confined, it should be remembered that discharges from a hog infected with cholera are very infectious and owners should not go, or allow any of their help to go on premises where thero are sick hogs. Neither should they allow neighbors to go among their hogs when cholera exists in a community. Healthy hogs should be cared for by persons who have not been where the disease exists and no one else should be allowed near the healthy drove. By streams receiving draninage from infected premises. If streams running through hog lots are draining infected premises, the hogs should be immediately moved to other premises. By buying hogs from premises where the disease exists or from public stock yards. Hog cars and stock yards must always be considered dangerous. By allowing neighbors the service of your stock hogs. This is a dangerous practice. By failure to isolate newly purchased hogs until their freedom from disease has been ascertained. Now hogs should be isolated for a month. If they have cholera or have been exposed, the disease will develop in this time. CAVCJIIT I'XDKIl 1 WI/ldNd TIOXT. ? Coolliondrd Work of Florence Men Saves rnnie During Storm. Hut for the cool headedness of strong men there would hove been a serious affair at the Chautauqua tent, on the grounds of the Y. M. C. A. at Florence Thursday night. Just after the evening perform' atico was begun, and after the throng of interested patrons of the Chau1 tauqua had been seated, a severe storm, accompanied ,by a terrific 1 wind, lightning and rain swooped down upon the city, and in a few seconds a largo part of the tented canvass came tumbling down. Hadies dressed in their finery, men in their evening suits and children ' dressed in summer apparel were caught under tho canvass and in a t few seconds were drenched to the ' skin with tho terrible downpour of . rain. t As soon as tho tent collapsed the men, who with coolness of head piul . strong arms began to grapple at the . poles that held tho tent in position > and to tug at theni to hoist them 1 back into position. This was almost - an impossibility, as the already heavy ? canvass was made doubly heavy by tho weight of the water puddled in 5 spots. It was soon seen that serious 3 trouble was in sight. The men then 1 quickly stood, and with their heads 3 elevated the canvass to such a height 3 as permitted tho ladies and children 3 to pass out into the terrific rain that was pelting down from tho heavens. It did not take but a few moments for every one under the tent to get a severe drenching before they could % get to the Y. M. C. A. building nearby for shelter. During the excitement only one or i two children were jostled and not a [> single person was in any way injurf ed, which was remarkable, and only - goes to show what cool headedness - and strength amount to in such a e time. 3 ? r Ate Colored Chalk and Died.

SHOOT UP THE COURT .11 IHiK HIDKS UNDKIt OKSK AM) OTHKIiS KKCAPIO. Wild Scramble for Places of Safety When Prisoner Whisks Out Pistol and Fires Three Shoots. Judge, lawyers, policemen and spectators were sent scurrying to cover in the Criminal Court at Washington late Monday, when Hay M. Stewart, aged eighteen, tired three wild shots in an attempt to "shoot up" the Court. At the tirst crack justice Wendall P. Stafford disappeared beneath his desk and out in the Court room there wsih :i wni<i scramble for places of safety. Some, fren/ied by fear, leaped into windows and dropped to the ground llfteon or twenty feet below. Justice Stafford had just refused to release Stewart on probation after conviction for attempted highway robbery. The boy whipped out a pistol and tired three shots, two of which narrowly missed Assistant United States Attorneys Samuel llawken and Harvey Given and Policeman MolTett. He was in the attitrde of turning toward the Judge as if to shoot when a witness sprang upon him and choked him into insensibility. In the confusion that followed many thought Justice Stafford had been struck by a bullet, but the Judge emerged from his haven without a scratch. Stewart had been convicted recently of holding up a negro in a Washington suburb last December. He had applied for probation as a first offender. The Judge had barely uttered the last word in passing sentence when the prisoner began to shoot and just missed llawken, who ducked under tho table. The next shot went toward tho jury box and passed dangerously near Detective Sergt. Grant's head. It. struck a wall and rebounded, falling near Justice filnffnrd'a li?ni>li Tim I struck the celling. As the youth wheeled and faced the bench, Edwin Plane, a clerk in the department of agriculture, who had been a witness fur tho State, seized the hoy by tho throat and carried him to the door. By this time the Court room had been nearly cleared of ofllclals and spectators. Stewart lay unconscious for several minutes after being disarmed. Gated ho was removed to the cell room beneath the Court room. Counsel for Stewart said the youth was unbalanced as tbo reeult of reading cheap literature. Tho hold-up for which tho boy was about to bo sentenced, had many features of tho dime-novel variety. Monday night the boy was in jail awaiting trial on tho charge of shooting with intent to kill. GATHERING AT GETTYSBURG. Veterans Who Fought Fifty Years Ago to Frolic. Gathering from north and south for the fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, several hundred Civil War veterans arrived at Gettysburg, Pa., Thursday, coming early, they said, in order to avoid the great rusn or tne earl][ part or next week. Mingling with the blue uniforms were some in gray and the men from the South were given a hearty greeting. With their uniforms of gray, topped by campaign hats, tho Southerners soon became central figures on the streets and scarcely a person they passed failed to stop and ask the privilege of a hand-shake. Warmer than all others was the welcome extended them by the Union veterans, many of whom are here for the opening of the stato encampment. Thursday night tho historic old Adams County court house witnessed a reproduction of the wartime campfire, with its stirring patriotic songs of tho days of '61 -'65, and many speeches in which reminiscences of (lays gone by wore mingled with suggestions and plans for the obervance of the coming week. Final arrangements at the big camp were completed Thursday. Practically everything is in readiness to receive the first arrivals on Sunday, and Thursday many veterans visited tho place, inspecting the tents and furnishings, together with arrangements for mess and sanitary arrangements.

Free sugar in 1916 and freo raw wool aro now established in the taritf revison bill, having been approved late Wednesday by tlie Democratic caucus of ti?e Senate, after a two days' tight. The sugar schedule as reported by majority mombers of tho nuance committee and prune . it passed tho House was approved by a vote of 4 0 to 6. Free raw wool as subletted by t lie majority and 4 just as is passed the House, swept the Senate caucus by a vote of I I to 6. This ratification of President Wilson's tariff policy, he having insisted upon tho wool and sugar propositions before the ways and means committee in the beginning, came after a long series of developments since tho tariff Hill passed the House, in which the President was an activo participant. When the fight of tho antifree sugar and tho antt-freo wool iaterestw unst in-.* i?_~~ .. n^vt,,,h iiw inu I I t'3* Ident issued a public stateinnt declaring that any sugestlon on tiie wool and BUgar schedule was to be absolutely out of the question and later ho stirred all administration leaders to action when ho made his charge about the existence in Washington of an "insidious loby," invesation of which has brought results regarded as favorable to the tariff bill. The six Democratic Senators who voted aginst free sugar on the final vote approving tho schedule were Hitchcock, Nebraska; Newlands, Nevada; Ransdell and Thornton, Louisiana; Shaffroth, Colorado, and Walsh of Montana. Tho six who opposed free raw wool to tho end were Chamberlain of Oregon; Newlands, Nevada; Uansdell and Thornton, Ixmislana; Shaffroth and Walsh. No attempt was made in the caucus today to bind the members to the action of the caucus. The question will come up when the entire bill has been passed. Some members fought it, but administration leaders said to-night they believed only tho IsOuislana Senators would ask to bo released from tho caucus pledge If one is submitted. Tho gonoral opinion is that a binding resolution will bo offered. Discussion of tho issues was lively all day. Senators Uansdell, Thompson Thornton, Newlands, Dans and Shaff roth took up inoBt of tho time for the opposition, whllo the chief Administratlon defenders were Senators James, Thomas and Pomorene. The arguments were not long and teo weather hot, and most of the Sentors removed their coats in tho privacy of the caucus room. When sugar and wool had been disposed of the caucus ratified the committee amendment, placing hair of tho Angora goat on tho agricultural schedule was then resumed and a dispute at once arose over the committee amendment puting a countervailing duty on wheat and flour. As the dlscuslon developed the opposition grew and decision of tho question went over. Some Democrats asserted following tlie adjournment that tho countervailing duty would bo stricken off leaving wheat on the unrestricted free iist on a parity with cattle and meats. ?
