GENERAL POLITICAL NEWS

Chairman w. A. Berry, OF the
Democratic city executive committee,
expects the usual grand rush to-
morrow when the time limit for pay
ing the entrance fees to the Demo-
cratic primary, expires. SO far the
interest in the various Offices, with
one or two exceptions, has been re-
markab'v apathetlc. In the Offices
with little or no remuneration, no
candidates have announced at all,
nor have any entrance fees been paid.
When the time expires tomorrow, the
executive committee will look over
the field and MI out the vacancies.
In the mayors race. every candi-
date has paid in the entrance fee ex-
|cept Colonel Joe Potter. As there has
been no indication of his withdraw
ing he is expected to pay up before
tomorrow night. Early after opening
the books for the entrance fees, the
candidates for city jailer. began pay
ing, and there are now nine candi-
dates announced and paid In
The ninth candidates to announce in
this race, was ]. w. Fowler. 1t Is the

Nobody has announced for city en-

Magistrate Bleich Ascertains How

EASY ESCAPE FOR INMATES

McCracken county will have a
new Jail. It will not be built this
year, but is assured, within the
next two or three years. Only one
thing stands in the way. the debt
created by the building of the new
county sanitarium. When this debt is
wiped out the fiscal board will build
new jail.
THE county needs new Jail, and
this will be the first Improvement the
fiscal court will consider when the
poor mouse debt is wiped OUT said
Magistrate John ]. Bleich, as he
scratched several inches of rotten
mortar from between bricks inside
the Jail yesterday afternoon. He
had gone there in the interest of
the county to examine the hole made
by James Taylor, a prisoner, who
tried to liberate himself and other
prisoners.

BRICK CUTTERS
ARE CONDEMNED
Doctors Will Appear Before
Aldermen Tonight, Repre-
senting Sense of Medical So
ciety on Subject
THE CONDITION is UNsANITARY

Drs. Frank Boyd. II. p Sights and
G. II. Brothers, as a committee rep
resenting the McCracken County
Medical society, will appear before
the board of aldermen tonight to
protest against the construction of
any more brick cutters in the city.
At the meeting of the Medical soci-
ETY. Tuesday night. resolution
unanimously was passed condemn
ing brick cutters as unsanitary, and
this committee was appointed to
lay the reasons of the society for
objecting TO brick cutters and pave
ments. before the general council.
The physicians say that brick gut
tiers never remain permanently in the
position they are laid; that separate
bricks sink down lower than the
general level, causing pools and
holes which allow filth and waste
to accumulate. Water stagnates in
these holes affording breeding
place for malarial germs. Another OBJ
lection from the sanitary point of
of view, is that grass grows up be-
tween the bricks. both in the gut
ters and pavements, and this grass
stops the free flow OF water and Nth
The physicians say that an Inspection
of any brick cutters in the city, that
have been laid any time. will corrob-
crate these facts.

Yesterday afternoon an unsuccess-

was made but he refused Detective
Moore descended the jail steps, hand
lcuffed to Kellocl1. Turning into the
back yard he made for the rear of
the jail where photographer stood
with camera ready.
''No, will not be photographed, .
he declared in sudden fear, sinking
back behind the wall and pulling the
detective wit hhim. "The laws of
Kentucky will not stand for 1t. You
can take me If l am convicted, but
not before"
All persuasion on the part Of the
detective was futile, and Kellock
was led back to his cell.
Kelloclz was looking for the best
chance to escape. He even tied his
shoes securely to insure safe run
ming. and wanted the detective to
handcuff his. Kellock's. hands to

this.
HE might run away. but if he
