COMPENSATION BARRED.
Attorneys Pressing Private Pension
Bills for Passage.

Senators and Representatives are very
much interested in the fact that the pension
appropriation bill soon will become law,
because they hope to obtain from it some
relief from the pressure on them to secure
private pension legislation. The bill con-
tains a provision making it a criminal Of
Tense for attorneys, claim agents or other
persons to receive compensation for ser
vices rendered in connection with the pas
sage through Congress of private pension
bills" They say there are now many times
as many bills before Congress as possibly
can receive attention during the Congress,
and the number is increasing daily. They
recognize that many Of the bills represent
just claims. but they also feel that claim
attorneys have been more active than they
were called upon to be-. IT is also declared
that claimants have been imposed on in
many cases and persuaded to pay money
for the Introduction Of bills which stand
NO show of becoming laws. The bill is now
in the hands OF the President.

statement, denouncing the article as abso-
lutely and unqualifledly false Never by act,
word, deed or intimation. he said, had the

position relative to the Cuban question. As

BURNED TO DEATH.
COlOred Child Fatally Burned
Near LOngview.
Left Alone in a Room With Other
Small Children and Clothing
Caught From the Fire.

A negro child of Quint Lacy, a
farm hand living on Frank b.
Lacy's place near Longview, was
fatally burned Wednesday evening.
The child was between three and
four years old and was alone in a
cabin with two other children about
the same age. The mother was
absent at the time.
While playing around the FIRE in
the room, the little girls clothing
caught FIRE and the flames quickly
burned all the clothing from her
body. Her screams attracted the
attention of other children in a
nearby cabin and one of them
about 7-years old ran to the rescue
but could do nothing. The child
lived in great agony for three
hours and then died OF her burns.

"FINNIGAN'S BALL"
VIII Be sented at the Opera
House Tonight.

"Finnigan' Ball, comedy of
many good qualities, plays an en-
gagement at Hollands Opera House
tonight in a new dress, but as of
old, it sparkles and scintillates
with fun and humor. Many new
features have been infused 10 this
delightful "skit, which seems
hardly possible, as it has been in
the past seasons the epitome OF ex-
cellence. Managers Murray aud
Mack state that the company they
have engaged to support Moran
and Murphy is by far the strongest
cast ever engaged to produce this
piece. There is no one that is not
an artist in his or her chosen line
of work, while the musical portion
of the performance is of an interest
ing nature, Songs are all new and
the latest; the dances picturesque
and novel, the specialties original
and amusing. The scenery and
electrical and mechanical effects
are carried intact for each act,
which enables them to offer a per-
Torrance perfect in every detail.

Better Roads Since The Grader
Has been Used.

Editor KENTUCKIAN: l think we
have had much better roads since
the grader has been in use, and the
farm hands have not had to do
more than half as much on the road
as they did before we had the
grader. If the pixies bought need
so much repairing so soon, | am
afraid the county has bought as
white an elephant as Uncle Sam
bought when he paid Spain twenty
millions for an aged rebellion. l
may not have been correctly in
formed as to the action the court,
but if l was, l think a vigorous pro-
test should be made against stop
ping the grader. For it will not
be just to give pixies to some roads,
spend all IN sight 10 make them
better, and at the same time in
crease the burdens OF those who
have no pixies. Aud from present
prospects it will be some time be-
fore all Of them will have. Would
be glad if some member Of the
county court would give you the
writings of the court Tor publication
IN your paper, as that will Proba-
bly, reach more of the farmers of the
County than any other paper.

EMMA JONES HAS
BAFFLED POLICE
FORONE LONG YEAR
Mysterious Woman Who Is a
Professional Servant
Girl Thief
HELD ONE JOB FIVE HOURS
This Gives Her Time to Locate Money
In the House, Which She
Promptly Appropriates
and Leaves.
HELD ONE JOB FIVE HOURS

Emma Jones has again turned up, adj
ding one more to the long list of robber-
les for which she is wanted by the po-
lice department. She is a negro woman
who has been hiring out to different fam
lilies in Birmingham for the last year
and staying at etch place only long
There are about twenty-five cases of
robbery against the woman and the en-
tire police department has been on the
lookout for her for nearly a year. So
far she has kept out of their clutches In
the most mysterious manner.
Her plan is to hire to family and
work long enough TO find out where the
money Is kept. all of which she appro-
PIRATES and leaves the house. She is
never dressed the same way twice and
no correct description of her has ever
been given to the police. The only point
in the description which always tallies
is a scar on her left cheek. Where she
lives between raids Is mystery to the
police and they have Swallowed a hun
dred women, thinking they had the right
one, only to be fooled again. She always
gives her name as Emma Jones.
Yesterday the marshal of Woodlawn
telephoned n message to police head
quarters that a negro woman giving her
name as Emma Jones had hired to Mrs.
r. II. Simpson. OF Woodlawn. and that
she had been there only two hours when
it was discovered that she had stolen a
purse with 80 in 1T and a savings bank
with 81.
Emma has worked all around Birming-
ham and all over Birmingham. She
seems to have no trouble IN getting
place and less in finding where the mon
ey is kept. She never stays more than
five hours and never fails to carry some
cash away with her. The police depart
ment would rather catch her than almost
any criminal in the State.
