ASKS AN INJUNCTION.
Restraining Order Against Print
ing Commissioners to Prevent
Removal OF J. W. Hedden.

At Frankfort, KY, July 81, to
prevent the Republican Board of
Printing Commissioners from re-
moving him from office of State
Superintendent of Printing, J. w.
Hedden, of Mt. Sterling, one of
the very few Democrats who still
draw salaries from the State of
Kentucky, filed application in the
Franklin Circuit Court for an in
junction to prevent the Printing
Commission from so ousting him.
Upon the filing of the suit, Cir
cult Clerk Ben Marshall issued a
temporary restraining order against
the Printing Board, and until it is
dissolved by the Circuit Judge or
a higher court Superintendent
Hedden will hold on to his Job
without interference from the
Printing Commissioners, even if
they should decide to remove him.
HAzELRIGG FILES SUIT.
Judge James H. Hazelrigg, at
torney for Mr.. Hedden, fled suit.
The petition AYERS further that the
term for which he was appointed
has not expired yet the present
Board of Commissioners is threat
enlng to remove him. 1t is claimed
that under the act which created
the office, the Superintendent of
Printing is to be appointed for a
term of four years, only remova-
BILE for cause. The act creating
the position was passed by the
1906 General Assembly. The
salary provided is 81 800 per year.
REMOVAL OF HIDDEN RUMoRED.
Since the political complexion of
the Printing Commission became
Republican-it is composed of the
Governor, Auditor, Treasurer. Sec
rotary of State and Attorney Gen
eral-it has been repeatedly ru-
mored that an effort would be
made to remove Superintendent
Hedden, despite the four-year
term provided in the act.
The names of John G. Wood, OF
Mt. Sterling, and Geo. A. Lewis,
of Frankfort, have been mentioned
in connection with the appoint
ment, in the event of Hedden's
removal. a rumor has been per-
sisteht for several days that Mr..
Lewis has been decided upon by
the Commission as the man for the
job, and that steps would be taken
at once towards separating He'd

MAKING THREATS.
lawIeSS Element of the Saloon

Members of License
Board.
louisville Evening Post, July 81


Mr.. Ed. B. Green, chairman of
the Board of Public Safety and
ex-ofiicio member of the License
Board, received word today that
his life had been threatened by a
certain saloonkeeper.
2 The threat was the climax OF
mutterings that have been heard
against Mr.. Green at the various
sessions of the License Board. 1t
was made at a gathering held re-
Gently, at which a number of sa-
loonkeepers were present. The
exact statement was:
Green would make an excel
lent subject for an undertaken. l
understand that coffin handles sell
for $3.50 a piece. You under
stand"
This gentleman who heard the
threat knew it's significance, that
the person who uttered it meant
business, and he Immediately told
Mr.. Green of his danger.
This latest development shows
the desperate ends to which the
lawless saloonkeepers have re-
sorted. They realize that they
can expect no quarter from the
present administration unless they
obey the law, and instead of COM
plying are trying to fight against
the inevitable by the only method
they know.
