MARRIAGE LICENSE
Was Issued TwiCe-LOOse Con.
ditions Found by the
State Inspector.

A Frankfort special says: State in
spector and Examiner Thatcher has
submitted to Gov. Wilson reports OF
his examination of the offices of
county officials of Powell and Owsley
counties.
Mr.. Thatcher found a most unusual
condition existing in the matter of is
suing marriage licenses by the coun-
ty clerk. That official allowed his dep
uties to Issue marriage license at
any old place they could be found and
one instance is cited where a deputy
clerk issud a license, written in lead
pencil on a piece of plain paper. col
lected no fee, and almost a year af-
terward the man to whom it was is
sued used it to marry another woman
than the one named in the original
licnese. Mr. Thatcher says in his re-
port: 81 have not found in any other
county wherein have made eXamina-
tions, where a like practice prevails,
but | am told that this is true in one
or two other counties in the same Sec
ton. In Owsley the practice seems
to have grown up because 1t was con-
venient for license applicants to APP
ply to the nearest deputy clerk and
the county clerk appears to have
given to these deputis the $3.50 fee
for the usual. If officiating
ministers and magistrates fail TO re-
turn to the county clerks office, as
the law requires, marriage license
after the ceremony Is performed, and
If the duputies fail to return to the
clerk the proper memoranda of the
usual of such license, there results
a complete absence of formal record,
and in course of time when memories
fail and witnesses die, the fact Of
many marriages in Owsley county
may be attacked because of the fail
ure to find any record thereof, where
the law directs that same shall be
kept, and there will be placed on pos
terlty, in many cases, an unjust
stigma"

OEPOS|TORS SHARE EQUALLY.
So Decides Higher Court In
Daviess County Bank and
Trust Co. Matter.

A special from Frankfort states that
the consolidated cases of Edward
FRANKIE, ct. al, and Burnes, ct al,
against the Daviess County Bank and
Trust company have been affirmed by
the court of appeals.
This decisions means that all de-
positors Of the Daviess County Bank
and Trust company shall share alike
the holders of mortgage certificates
having no priority over holders of or
binary certificates or commercial de-
posts.
These cases, just passed upon, were
considered by local attorneys to be
decidedly the mos important actions
now in the Daviess Circuit Court
They were filed by the holders of
mortgage certificates of deposits in
an attempt to have the court order
Assignee Anderson to pay the mort
gage certificates in full. Such GER
tificates were outstanding to the
amount of $4,000. The holders of
the ordinary certificates fought the
suits and contended that the entire
assets of the defunct bank should be
divided equally.
In making his report to the lower
court, Assignee Anderson asserted
that, in his opinion, the holders of
the mortgage certificates should have
their claims paid in full and the re-
mainder only should be distributed
among the other claimants. However
the court decided against this sugges-
ton in the assignee's report and ad-
judged that no depositor should have
preference over another. The case
was at once taken to the higher court
and now finally decided. The de-
cision means a considerable loss to
those who hold the mortgage GER
tificates, but gain to the other de-
positors of the bank and the holders
of ordinary claims are much in the
majority numerically.

NAME COMMITTEE
TO VISIT BUYERS
And Negotiate For Sale of
This Years Crop.
ALL SAMPLES WERE VIEWED
DiSsenSiOn Averted by Cool
Heads and Meeting
Ended Happily.

Greensboro, Ky. Nov. 10.-The joint
selling committee of the Green River
Tobacco association, the Home Ware
house company and the A. S. of e.
spent all of Tuesday afternoon in ses-
sion here for the purpose of consider
ing the price at which the tobacco
crop of the present year should be
sold. The meeting was held in the
Hughes tobacco warehouse on West
Ninth street, where the samples are
now displayed. There was full rep
resentation of all the associations,
but there was no definite agreement
as to what price should be demanded
for the tobacco. The general drift of
the discussions showed that several
representatives of the Green River as
ISOLATION were very much In favor
OF selling at once and at the same
price as was offered and paid last
year. The representatives of the A. S.
of E. and of the Home Warehouse
company stood firm for higher price.
At one time in the discussion it
seemed as If the delegates of the
Green River association were on the
point OF leaving the meeting and re-
fusia2 to deal longer with their fell
lows. They contended that all the
surrounding country was filled with Il
surplus of tobacco SO that the Amer
lean Tobacco Company was indie
pendent of the present crop in this
section and that if the crop were not
sold for the price that the American
Tobacco company waned to pay,
there would be no sale for many
months, and probably this year,
unless the crop of next year were
vhnlly cut out. The big Burley crop
of this year was pointed to and the
fact that there was practically none
raised last year in the same Ken
lucky territory was also pointed out.
1t was also urged that the Bowling
Green region and the Southern In-
didna field had a much larger crop
than was grown there last year. 1t
was also claimed or pointed out that
several million pounds of Hender-
son county tobacco of last year was
still unsold.
The principal reply to all this
was that the prices of all articles
have advanced and those that the
farmers had to buy had shown
special advance. The instructions of
local organizations to their dele
gates were also pointed out and this
was given as an added reason why
the delegates of the Home Ware
house and the A. S. of E. could
never agree to the minimum price
that was supposed to be acceptable
to many of the Green River people.
For a time it was feared that the
meeting would disband never to
come together again, and then there
were some econciliatory talks and
pleas TO stand together because of
the greater prestige that the organ
izations would have with the buy
ers and also with the people. Then
the suggestion of the wiser heads
began to prevail and it was agreed
that a special committee should be
appointed to see the buyers and see
what they would be willing to pay.
This committee is composed of
Messrs Bib, of Mclean county,
and Shaw and Marksberry, of Da-
viess. 1t will report to a later
meeting.

cessful flight in his aeroplane at Fort
Myer, remaining In the air five min
utes and thirty seconds, during which

tional speed Of about forty miles an
hour and circled the parade grounds
han a dozen times, distance Of about
three and a half miles.
Just before the fight Mrs
Nicholas Longworth. daughter OF for
mer President Roosevelt, enthusiastic-
ally examined the aeroplane with the
inventors, and Secretary of the Navy
Meyer gave it CAREFUL inspection.
Others who congregated about the
flying machine and Its makers were

la Barra, and the Mexican military at
tache. Major Fortino Davila: Senators
Lodge. LaFollette and Shively, Joseph
Letter, Congressman Ransdell, Assist
ant Secretary Of State and Mrs. Hunt
ington Wilson and Second Assistant

The motor was started and Orville
Wright mounted into the seat When
the signal was given the machine shot
forward instantly and mounted grace
fully into the light breeze. Mr.. Wright
guided the flyer to the lower end of
the large parade ground and circled
around toward the starting point,
gradually rising higher from the
ground. IA burst Of applause greeted
him as he passed the starting point
and sped away on tho second round.
Six times he rounded the course,
the machine attaining an average
speed Of about forty miles an hour, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wright himself.
After passing the crowd the sixth
time the aviator decided to make q

ed easily and lighted with no appar-
ent jar, the machine sliding smoothly
over the ground until 1t came to a
stop at point near the shed.
