Pool, or No Pool !?

The above was the all absorbing
question upon our streets yesterday
among the court day crowd. At two
o'clsck the large circuit court room,
in the court house was crowded to
overlooking with men to hear the
speakers on Pool, or No Pool. -.
Mr.. A. L. Ferguson, of Georgetown,
was the first speaker introduced by
Mr.. John A. LaRue, who presided at
the meeting. Mr.. Ferguson favored
the new pledge of the Burley Tobacco
Society and urged the growers of Bour-
bon, his old county, to sign the new
pledge.
Hon. e. NJ. Clay was the next speak
er. He took issue with Mr.. Ferguson.
and handled the Burley Society and the
promoters without gloves, making
forcable arguments against pooling and
signing the new pledge.
Mr.. Clay was followed by Miss
Alice Lloyd, for the Burley Tobacco
Society. WIN made several telling hits
in answering Mr.. Clay.
Hon. J. G. Cantrill, President of the
Equity Society. followed Miss Lloyc
and scored the Burley Society and the

Gun Shoot Won by Fayette Team

By a margin Of twenty-three points
out of 1000, the team of men from the
Fayette Gun Club won the trophy from
the picked team from the Bourbon
Gun Club Friday afternoon at the
Bourbon County Fair Grounds.
Messrs. Henderson, of Lexington,
and Clay, OF Paris, tied for the high
est honors of the day with score of
"a each.
The Fayette team went 1000 tar
gets breaking 833 while the Bourbon
team on the same number, broke 80,
coming just % behind the visitors, the
Fayette team showing team work of
833 per cent. won the match. At that
it was not such a walk away as the
Bourbon team made an 81 per cent
team score which is several degrees
from poor.
The handsome trophy which the
Bourbon men were contesting for
among themselves was not awarded.

Attempt to Wreck Interurban Car

Interurban car 40. 100 enroute to
this city had a marrow escape from
being wrecked with about forty pas
sengers on Friday night about 8 40
O'Clock near station As at Monterey.
Some person or persons evidently
with the intention of wrecking the car
placed three railroad ties on the track
in position to throw the car from the
rails. One tie was lying along the rail
and two others were on top of it so
when the car should strike the one
lengthwise the others would prove a
trap to derail the car.
The obstruction was noticed just in
the nick of time by MOtorman Pickett.
The car was running at high rate Of
speed but the brilliant headlight en-
abled him to see good way up the
track and he brought the car to a stop
after it had struck the ties.
Most OF the passengers were well
known citizens Of this city, who had
returned via Lexington from the ball
game in Frankfort. The miscreants
should be caught and severely dealt
with. The Blue Grass Traction Com
pany offered a reward of 500 for the
arrest and conviction of the guilty
person or any information that will
lead to their arrest.

Leaf Tobacco Amendment Elk
planned.

Senator Bradley Saturday made the
following statement: under the
leaf tobacco amendment the farmer or
producer has perfect freedom to sell
his leaf tobacco in the hand to whom
he chooses without payment of any
tax. Retailers will be required to
register with the collector of the dis
trict, their name or style or place of
residence, trade or business, and the
place where such trade business
is to be carried on. This can be
done simply by letter to the Collec-
tor and upon receipt of the answer
thereto, and the rules prescribed for
keeping books, they can proceed to
sell, and may sell leaf tobacco in the
hand raised in the United States to
any person in any quantity less than a
hOgshead, except a manufacturer of
tobacco, snuff or cigars, without the
payment of any tax. If one fails to
register he is subject to a fine of $50.
He is required TO keep book and en-
ter therein daily, his purchases of leaf
tobacco and his sales, where such sales
amount TO two pounds or more, to one
person in one day. Such record shall
be kept written up to date in such
form and containing such entries as
shall be prescribed by the Commiss-
Toner of Internal Revenue, with the APP
prevail of the Secretary of the treasury,
and such books shah be kept open at
all times for tt e inspection of any in
ternal revenue officer or agent.
He is required under regulation pre-
scribed as aforesaid, tc furnish on de-
- 49, II az
authorized agent of the treasury De-
partment, true and correct state
ment, verified by his oath or affirma-
ton of all sales in one day with the
name and residence of the person to
whom sold, with the quantity sold.
eff the retailer wilfulIy refuses to
furnish such information or to keep
the book, for knowingly makes.any false
statements or false entries In such
book he is liable to a fine of $50 for
each offense.
1.-The keeping of the book is simple,
as also the meaning of the written
statement, and will require but little
trouble, as small sales under two
pounds will not have to be entered.
There has been much criticism of
the bill by per5ons who were misin-
formed and who were misled by the
fact that the ten--pound limit in the
amendment as passed in the Senate
was omitted from the bill requiring the
farmer to keep book, as under the
Mckinley law, was stricken from the
present bill.
1.-The argument that there is no more
reason why memorandum OF sale of to-
bacco should be kept than sale of corn
is utterly misleading. Corn is not
taxed, but tobacco is. Manufacturers
of tobacco, snuff and cigars are taxed,
and if there were no steps taken by
which the sales of leaf could be trac-

ed, such sales would open the door to
fraud There is much cigar tobacco
raised in the United States. and those
who manufacture cigars, if no trace of
the sales of leaf were required, could
fill their depleted cigar boxes with
fresh cigars from time to time and
thus escape detection and defraud the
Government 1t is true that no cigar
tobacco is raised in Kentucky. but the
bill could not be made applicable to
Kentucky alone, but necessarily en-
brace the whole country. So far as
corn is concerned the regulations make
it impossible for the distiller to use it
in making whisky without being de-
tected by reason of the strict rules ap-
pilcable to the same.

SWlTCHMEN EMPLOYED
AT TERMINAL POINTS
OF ROADS QUIT WORK

SEATTLE, Wash. Nov. S0.-All the
switchmen employed at Pacific coast
terminal points by the Northern Pa
cific, the Chicago, Milwaukee and Pu-
get Sound and the Great Northern rail-
WAYS went on strike at 6 o'clock to-
night, following the action of the oitl-
GERS of the switchmen's union in call
ing out all the men employed on the
northern transcontinental lines west of
ST. Paul and Duluth. AS result of
the walkout not a wheel is turning in
the terminal yards at Seattle, Tacoma,
Everett and Bellingham.
The roads are making no effort to-
night to move freight trains except
stock trains, devoting their attention
to the transcontinental passenger SER
vice.
The Northern Pacific and Great Nor
thern are bulletining thtir eastbound
passenger trains to leave on time. The
trains that have been made up since
6 o'clock have been gotten together by
the terminal superintendent and their
assistants.
Several hundred swltchmen are af-
fected in the Pacific northwest by the
strike order. In Seattle 200 men are
out. Tacoma reports 100 more and
Everett thirty. Advices received from
the division points in the mountains
indicate that the switchmen have
obeyed the orders to strike and that
no freight is moving out of the yards.

FIRST TIME LOCAL CLUB MAY
BREAK INTO NATIONAL
Entries Indicate That Next Meet viii
Be One of National Importance
With Elaborate Events
on Program

The Federation of American Motor
cyclists (F. A. M will know a new
champian after next Sundays events
at Ascot.
The Los Angeles Motorcycle club will
hold their fifth annual meet of this
popular sport and a great program Vt
events has been arranged by the club
race committee, consisting of Paul
Derkum, G.. Blaylock, S. L. Lyon, Z,
Schmalzried and c. j. Swinnerton.
The national championship to be COM
peted for is for five miles. This Is the
first time in the history of motorcycle
racing in California that a national
championship has been awarded a
western club, and the local one is
more than proud of the honor bestowed
upon it by the f. -. NJ. This not
only shows that the local clubs work
in the past has been sincerely appre-
ciated, but that they are among the
strongest of their kind in the country
and are growing into national fame.
The entries to date IN the hve-mile
f. A. NJ championship are Charles
Bake (MerkeD, Frank Loge Qndian),
and Hubert Kittle Qndian). 1t is I'M
derstood that post entries will be al
lowed, so several others have signif1cd
their intention of competing.
There will be eleven events in all,
ranging from two miles to the final
hour race, in witch there are sew
enteen entries.
Paul Derkum, the peer of all dirt
track riders, will ride a one-mile exhi-
bition race against the track record
and also compete in the five-mile and
ten-mile professional events against H.
whittier of Salt Lake and Arthur
Mitchell
Thanksgiving day was the time set
for these events, but on account of the
rain they were postponed until Sunday,
December 8. Up to the time of post
ponement last Thursday there were in
the neighborhood of 500 spectators who
were brave enough to see the racers
risk their necks on the fast track.
Sunday should find a mountaineering
crowd at the popular race course.
Paul Derkum of the local club is
overseeing the track work, and reports
that the rain has put wonderfully
good and fast surface on it, so that
local records and possibly others should
be smashed skyward.

SIX-H0UR RACE DECEMBER IL
WILL FILL TRACK
RULES CHANGED TO FAVOR
DRIVER AND MEcHANlclAN
Limit of Racing Cars Are Placed at
TweIve-opportunity for Local
Drivers to Meet Eastern
Men Grow Apace

Entries are coming in fast for the
six-hour auto race scheduled for Ascot
park December u, and Manager Wal
ter Hempel announced yesterday that
he would limit the number of starters
to twelve so as not to overcrowd the
track in the long grind.
Another point has been brought up
in connection with this race which
may result in the changing of an i'm
portant A. A. A. rule. A racing rule
now in force requires that the driver
and mechanic Of every contesting car
must make all repairs and change all
tires without any outside assistance.
J. S. Conwell, the local Maxwell rep
resentatiYe, who will enter car, has
written the Los Angeles Motor Racing
association suggesting that the rule
be changed. as the drivers will be put
to terrific strain driving six hours
without a rest. This race will be at
a terrific pace, and with so many cars
it will be a constant test on a driver >
strength and nerves. 1t is desired that
two assistants be permitted. Hempel
wired Chairman Hover of the contest
board and expects a reply by wire
today or tomorrow. This seems to be
a Just change. The rule in the first
place was made to protect the small
manufacturer in big races. Before 1t
went into effect the big fellows would
have tire camps every quarter of
mile. Locally this does not apply, as
the tire companies would be only too
willing to take care of the cars using
their tires.
Los Angeles and the west has been
accorded a high honor by Motor Age,
the current number of which arrived
Yesterday. The paper contains re-
view of the seasons racing, in which
the leading drivers in America are
named. Bert Dingley distinctly
coast product, is accorded first honor.
Robertson is placed second, CheVetlel

Langdon stated that Gallagher, who
was granted immunity because ne had

GENERAL TIE-UP OF ALL
SWITCHMEN is INDICATED

ST. PAUL, Nov. 30-Early reports
received by switchmen indicate that
all the men have walked out and that
there has been a general tie-up of
traffic in all the yards of the roads
In st. Paul and Minneapolis the men
are all out and reports from Brainerd
and Fargo are that all switchmen
there struck.
George Slade, general manager of
the Northern Pacific, said tonight he
had only meager reports of effects of
the strike. He said local traffic had
been delayed, but that the railroads
had a scheme by which they hope to
facilitate handling traffic. Just enough
switching has been done in the Twin
City yards to keep passenger trains
moving. This switching has been
done mostly by train crews.
