GUM Shoe BRAND
OF night RIDERS

Owenton, KY, March >25.-Owenton
was visited early today by a gum
shoe" band of Night Riders, who set
fire to three large tobacco ware
houses, causing loss Of about $780,
900 and destroying 100000 pounds Of
tobacco, In addition to three build
ings.
According to the statement of sew
eral persons, the Night Riders came
into town on foot and very quietly, a
few at a time. They apparently had
no regular formation, as in the case
of genuine raid, and their presence
did not give the idea of an armed
band. They were not masked and
did not carry arms, nor did they at
tempt to molest anybody.
The first building set on fire was
the big new Equity warehouse
owned by a. stock company. This
had in it about 100000 pounds Of
pooled tobacco and 10000 pounds oi
Independent leaf
From the Equity warehouse the
flames spread to the American Tobac
co company's house and a smaller
independent house. Neither of these
had any tobacco in them, howeve,
and the principal. loss . on tbs + lu;t,

claration that the time has come for
revision of the tariff ELECTED hand
clapping on the part of the Demo
cratic members.
Democratic approval was also
given by way Of pounding the desks
to the suggestion that congress could
with advantage forthwith remove the
tariff on wood pulp, with a cores
ponding reduction on paper made
from wood pulp.
The Republicans waited and con-
fined their applause to the message
as a whole.
In the senate the message was re-
ceived without comment or applause
of any sort.
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
l call your attention to certain
measures as to which l think there
should be action by the Congress be-
fore the close of the present session.
There is ample time for their consid-
| Grafton. AS regards most if not all of
the matters, bills have been intro
duced into one or the other of the two
houses, and it is not too much to
hope that action will be taken one
way or the other on these bills at the
present session.
In my message at opening of the
| present session, and, indeed, in var
rious messages to previous Congresses
I have frequently suggested action on
most of these measures.
Il Child labor should be prohibited
throughout the nation. At least a
model child labor bill should be
passed for the District of Columbia.
1t is unfortunate that in the one place
solely dependent upon congress for
it's legislation there should be no law
whatever to protect children by for
bidding or regulating their labor.
renew my recommendation for
the immediate re-enactment of an
employers Liability law, drawn to
conform to the recent decision of the
supreme court. Within the limits in
dicated by the court, the law should
be made thorough and comprehen
sive, and the protection 1t affords
should embrace every class of EN-
ploye to which the power of the con
gress can extend.
In addition to a liability law pro
tecting the employees of common cal
J. riers, the government should sho'
it's good faith by enacting a furthe
law giving compensation to its ow
=, employees for injury or death incurre
in its service. 1t is a reproach to u
y as a nation that in both federal an
state legislation we have afforded les
protection to public and private en-
ployes than any other industrif
country of the world.
l also urge that action be take
along the line of the recommendation
have already made concerning IL
e. functions in labor disputes. No ten
IS porary restraining order should b
N issued by any court without notice

MALICIOUS AND

ISLANDER.

Information has come to the
Daily News that a rumor has

that the paper was about to

This report is not only false,

And the Daily News hereby
denounces it as a lie out of the
whole cloth, circulated for the
sole purpose of injuring the
paper and it's business.
The Daily News is more
prosperous than ever before

able to "tote its own skillet"

many years a potential factor
