ELEVATOR CAGE
DROPS FOUR FLOORS IN FRA
TERNITY BUILDING.
Five Hundred Dollars Damage Done
10 Lift in Few Minutes Last
Night.

Three negro elevator boys had a
narrow escape from death last night
when the elevator in the Fraternity
building fell from the fourth floor
to the bottom of the shaft. Out Of
the wreckage at tne nrst floor May
nard Stovail and James Adams leaped
and practically were unhurt. while
Roy Davis. made a flying, leap out
of the door as the elevator dropped
by the second floor. The elevator is
damaged, but it can be repaired.
II was at Z: 40 O'Clock when the
elevator boys change watches. and
Davis was in charge of the cage. He
turned on the power and the right
side OF the encasement caught some
exposed weights. Part OF the ele-
vator was carried to the roof, while
the main part of the cage was twisted
and II dropped to the first floor.
Somehow as the cage dropped by the
second floor Davis threw open the
door, and jumped into the clear,
while the two other negroes remained
as passengers.
The damage to the elevator will
amount to about $500. An elevator
expert arrived this morning from
Louisville, and he has begun work of
repairing the cage. When the cage
fell the entire building was shaken
and many of the occupants thought
an earthquake was on.

has been suddenly intensified. and
the meeting Of the state central COM

awaited with the keensst anticipa-

Is to direct Democratic lestinies in
the commonwealth.
The friends OF former Governor
Beckham. who was supposed by his
opponents TO have passed out as a
political factor, are insisting that
Beckham is now as much alive as
ever, and that the Beckham men CON
troll the Democratic state central
committee and consequently the Dem
ocratic party in Kentucky.
That there is a good deal in their
claim IS proved BY the way in which
Henry Prewltt. chairman OF the state
central committee. was ridden down
in the call for the meeting. Prewitt,
who has gone to California for a
lengthy visit. before his departure
issued a call for meeting which was
to be held April 2S. after his return.
Instead eight members Of the COM
mittee got together and issued call
for meeting to DE held April 2.

Southern gentlemen We'll have
to take it from their counsel, for
at this distance, judged by what
has brought them into greatest

to be anything else. Anyway,

for acting like cut-throats and
