Frankfort, KY, May S.-Circuit
Judge r. l.. Stout, of Versailles, pre-
siding judge of the Fourteenth dis
| trict, has instructed the grand jury
of Scott county to inquire carefully
into the legality of the troops patrol
| ing Scott county in times of peace
without the request of the civil au-
thorities as is provided in the consti-
tuition. He said that he had inquired
and learned that the troops had not
been requested by County Judge J. J.
Yates, nor Sheriff Warning, nor by
himself, nor had they reported to any
of these officials. He instructed the
grand jurors to call the troops in be-
fore them and find out who sent them
into the county, and for what pur-
pose they were sent there.
EFF they are here for the purpose
of intimidating the people then they
and those who sent them are guilty
OF conspiracy" said Judge Stout,
"and all connected with the con-
Ispiracy should be indicvted."
The troops we're sent into the coun.
ty under the instructions of Governor
Wilson and Adjutant General John
ston, and if ordered by the chief ex-
ecutiye of the state, and the highest
military official in the commonwealth
will have to go before the Scott
county grand jury to give their testi-
mony Judge Stout instructed the
grand jury to indict without fear or
favor. That IL the troops. were lille
gally sent into Scott county. those
who sent them should pay the pen
atty of the law. As a result of these
instructions squad of the state
guards who have been patrolling in
Scott county, just over the Franklin
county line, appeared before the
grand jury. They wera closeted with
the grand jury for some time. but de-
clined to talk when they came out OF
the grand jury room.

Famous Case Tried in Police
Court This Morning.
MILK TEST NOT PASSED ON

| All the trouble with the milk deal
ers over procuring a city license to
sell milk was adjusted this morning

cided that a milk dealer is one who
sells milk to regular customers on
regular days. He said if the dairy
men wish to carry II to higher court
he will enter fine, buS the dairymen
are satisfied with the decision, and r.
b. Hicks, city license inspector, has
been busy issuing licenses today. The
city ordinance reads that one who
makes only three trips to the city is
except from the license
State Senator Wheeler Campbell
represented the dairymen and made
the point, that If one milk dealer is
liable for a license all of the dealers
are. Judge Cross statement was;
THE only question for a decision in
this court is a definition of the term
milk dealer as determined in the or
d.nance. | think every firm, company,
person or corporation selling milk or
butter in the city of Paducah with
regular customers and regular deliv-
cry days are subject to this ordinance
and liable TO pay this license. | think
farmers may sell a surplus of their
products of milk and butter without
being liable for license"
Dairymcn Pleased.
The dairymen have until tomorrow
to take out city licenses and the war.
rants will be dismissed without
costs. The milkmen were pleased at
the decision, and say they will swear
