PROPOSE PLAN
TO THE ARTISTS
Law Brothers Would Connect
the Hopkins Institute of
Art With the Fairmont
DESIRE COOPERATION
Terraced and Graded Road
way Talked OF and the
Project Looks Feasible

With merry jest and 1.-The bottled laugh
ter Of the peasant girls of France" Art
and Commercialism, both residents Of San
Francisco, were gayly welded last night,
Charles ]. Dickman the parson, DR.. Her
bert Law and Hartland Law best men,
Willis Polk doing the giving away"
stunt and Arthur Street the ushering.
And it all happened thusly: A IBID" had
gone abroad along the daisied lanes OF
Bohemia for the artists hereabouts to
fOregather at the festal board; that DR..
Herbert Law and Brother Hartland would
be among the guests. and they would
have something to say to the painters
that would awaken their interest, and, in
cidentaIy, their cooperation in art and
well, in the Fairmont.
But why not? Isn't this an age of rec
iprocity? II the Laws can help the art
lists, why shouldn't the artists help the
Laws? And behold how the Laws can
help the artists! The Institute of Art is
dead. The big men won't, and don't, ex-
hibit there And the reason they assign
is that mo people go up there" which is
lamentably truth-they don't.
Now the Laws propose to bring the peo-
pie to Hopkins by bringing them to Fair
mont. And they propose to bring them in
this fashion, II the powers that be at
Hopkins will permit them. The chief
drawback to the popularization of Hop
kins-and incidentally of Fairmont-is in
accessibility. And herewith is the undec-
Grated scheme TO run q, graded roadway,
practically on the lines already existing,
from the corner of Pine and Mason
streets through the Hopkins grounds. out
upon the crest Of the hill on California
street this to be connected with a ter
raced roadway from Stockton and Pine,
the necessary land being donated by the
Laws 10 the city, something like forty
feet along the north side of Pine
This plan would of course make
superb and easy approach to the In
stitute of Art-and incidentally to the
Fairmont: but wouldn't the Institute Of
Art be sharing in the patronage of the
people thus attracted?
Besides. Herbert Law announced his
readiness to defray all expense that would
accrue to Hopkins in the reconstruction.
AS a sidelight. let it be said that the
matter has already been discussed in the
board of directors of the institute. and
been practically rejested, on the basis of
vested rights. But as result of last
nights nuptial feast, the matter will be
reopened. and Hopkins may yet be saved
from ossification

According to the passengers who ar

boycott in China is thing of the past

settled in this country. the feeling is
as bitter as ever.
One passenger said that before leav-
ing the Orient he had been informed by
an oficial of the American Trading
Company that there was no longer any
boycott in Shanghai.
In spite of the partial lifting of the
boycott however, say men from the
Orient. it will be years before Amer

Commercial Club Will Make
Effort to Bring Them
Here For Outing.
WORTH STRIVING FOR.
Councilman Davis Will Go
to Frankfort as Club
Representative.

If there is a fighting chance for
dopkinsville to secure the encamp-
ment of the State troops, we are
going to have it.
At the called meeting Of the Com
mercial Club Thursday night it was
determined by those present to put
forward every effort to bring the
encampment here this year.
The crowd had on its hunting cos
tune and is going out for game in
earnest, and it seems that the club
is game enough to go for what is
now in something that will
yield large returns on what will have
to be expended in order to bring the
soldiers here while on their summer
outing.
Every business man in Hopkins
vile who wants to add to his busi-
ness should put his shoulder to the
wheel and help the club in the effort
to bring the military here. The club
cannot succeed without the cooper
alton of the merchants and citizens
generally. The strongest argument
that can be made for the support of
the merchants is that they are really
the only ones who will reap any
financial reward by bringing the
troops here. If the club does not
have the hearty support of the busi-
ness men particularly, and thepeople
generally, they had just as we'll
throw up their hands and cease to
exist as club of men who have the
desire, but not the ability, to help

SECRETARY LUcIAN H. DAVIS.

the town in future Development
just because they do not have the
encouragement of its citizens. Look
the conditions squarely in the face
and you will readily see that this is
correct; and if this is true, then
Hopkinsville does not deserve the
encampment or anything else calcu-
lated to fill the tills of moss-back
merchant or any one with not ener-
gy enough to help along a monument
that will ultimately be of great help
to us as a city.
Hopkinsville is the, logical place
for the encampment. Other cities
of our population have had the en-
campment and want it again. Hen
derson is. probably, our closest COM
petitor. She knows by experience
the great advantages of having the
soldiers and is putting in great work
for again securing the encampment.
The Adj. General we believe is leaning
toward us. while there is not the
least prejudice existing among the
military or any of the state officers
to prevent our people having a
square deal in the matter in fact,
we might say that the officers of the
state as well as the military are rath-
er inclined to have the encampment
here. Besides there are a few things
that Hopkinsville can pull that other

candidates for the encampment car
not get hold of, and if they did
would do them no good.
Hopkinsville will 20 into the race
prepared to comply with every con.
dition required by those empowered
to make the selection of a camping
place. When some of the officers
were here not long since they were
shown the ground that would be
given them if they would pitch their
tents in our midst for a season and
it was pronounced satisfactory. The
gentleman who has control of the
Sharp property notified the Com.
mercial Club that the field could be
used without cost-that the soldiers
were more than welcome to it.
In order to make the field what is
required it will be necessary to put
in about dozen arc lights, extend
the water pipe through the center,
and make several attachments, be-
sides a few other matters of but
little expense-th the whole thing cost
ing considerably less than thousand
dollars. This expense was practically
arranged for at the meeting Thurs.
day night.
1t is estimated that the soldiers
during their stay here and their
visitors should spend not less than
$4,000. Isn't this worth the effort
of securing? It's up to our people
to go after it, and to go in earnest.
The military are not out handing
around invitations (?) to be allowed
to go into camp anywhere. 1t is
just the reverse. Live towns are
doing the inviting and wire-pulling.
Mr.. Lucian Davis was appointed
Thursday night by the club to go to
Frankfort and present Hopkinsville's
claims for the encampment. Mr..
Davis is just the man for the duty.
He is competent in every way to
represent the club and the city and
we hope thrc ugh his influence and
the support of the people he may be
able to get the encampment.

WAGES OF SIN.
Three Men Lose Their Lives
Over a. Bad Woman.

Louisville, KY, June 14.-Clarence
Sturgeon shot and killed w. J. Bru-
ner, aged twenty-six; Wilford Nc
Michael, aged forty-fve, and
Ed. Blackerby, aged about fifty,
in front of the resort of Daisy Jack
son, at 431 Eleventh street last
night. Sturgeon emptied his five
chamber revolver, and every shot
took effect. The men on whom he
fired ran to the corner of Eleventh
and jefferson streets, short dis
tancesS:away, where they fell in a
heap, Bruner and McMichael dead,
and Blackerby so nearly Sc
that he was unable to speak when
assistance reached him. He was
taken to the city hospital, but died
without ever being able to make a
statement.
Surgeons infatuation for the wO-
man, Daisy Jackson, appears to be
responsible for the triple tragedy.
Except the woman, no one saw the
affray. and no satisfactory statement
can be gotten from her.
