STATE BOARD RESC|NDS ITS
RAISE OF CLARKS TAX LEVY
County Judge Evans and l. COGheI Make Showing Frankfort and
Have Original Rate Restored

After hearing before the State
Board of Equalization on Wednesday.
that body decided to rescind its ten
tahve raise of Clark county's tax
levy five per cent and to allow the
levy to stand as made.
County Judge J. II. Evans and Mr..
Late Cockrell, member of the conn
ty board, appeared before the State
board and showed that such a raise
would be unfair; that instead of the
levy being lower than last year it was
IN reality, 312 per cent higher. That
there had been a gain of $27. in
real estate values; and the loss of
$4,000 In personality, was more than
made up by the loss in the lumber
business at Ford.
The action of the State Board in
allowing the original assessment to
stand, means a saving of $4,000 to
the tax payers of Clark county.

SOME FALLING
BY THE WAYS|DE
Part of CanvasserS For Commercial
Club Members Not Doing
Much.

The diamond pin is going to be
easy for somebody. The canvassers
out for new members of the CONNER
cial Club are some of them falling by
the wayside. Several are, however,
adding to their score rapidly.
But there is still plenty of time for
a dark horse to come with rush
and win easily.
Frank Murphy is so busy writing
ads. and selling clothes for Easter
that he has let up a little on getting
members.
j. w. Chambers feels so badly be-
cause some of the East Tennessee
telephone poles blew down that he has
let up on his canvass until he re-
covers from the stroke.
Stoke was so busy aiding Ike to
avoid testifying in the McCullum trial
that he has not been able to C. any
new members.
Frank jackson said that if he had
not been roped in to make up a jury
he'd easily have secured the pin.
And all this time President Bowen
is Tuning because he thinks the win
ner is not going to earn the pin.

prOved-Started Labor
Thursday.

Work was begun building the
streets and laying off the lots in Rob-
mson addition to the city of Winches-
ter Thursday. When this work is
completed the new addition will be
one of the prettiest portions Of the
city. The streets that are being built
will begin on the Lexington pike and
run to Forest avenue and thence to
the Lexington pike extending around
the lots. The streets will be macada
mixed, trees set out, and pavements
built. In putting down the macadam,
oil will be used and they will be roll
ed making practically an asphalt
street. Between the pavement and
streets grass spot will be left add
ing much to the looks.
Mrs. T. C Robinson and Mrs. V.
Bloomfield threw out the first shovels
Of dirt.
A number Of the lots in this addi-
ton have already been sold and be-
fore the summer is over, there is no
doubt but there will be several nice
houses built in this section. The adj
dition is just past the cemetery and
it is the object to build the streets

ADVOCATES OF
FREE OIL Win
House insurgents" Gain Signal Vic
tOry-Unite With DEM
OcratS.

Washington, April s. - By a coali-
ton between some Republican house
insurgents" and the Democrats, the
ways and means committee was
bowled over and the advocates of free
crude oil and its products won a sig
nal victory, when an amendment by
Mr.. Morris of Nebraska, placing the
Insignificant duty of l per centum ad
valorem ON these articles, was adopt
ed by substantial majority.
A decision of the chairman that
amendments could not be offered to
the oil schedule other than the one
covered by the special rule of last
Monday, and which provided for the
removal of the countervailing duty on
crude petroleum and applying an ad
valorem duty of 25 per cent, was over
turned, and not even a fervid appeal
by the speaker in an endeavor to
rally the Republican forces was suffi-
cient to stem the tide avowedly
against the Standard Oil company.
BY a practically unanimous vote the
cOUntervailing duty went out as the
committee recommended.
On all other propositions the COM
mittee was sustained. The barley
schedule ran the gauntlet without
change, tea and coffee were placed on
the free list and the duty on barytes
increased from rs cents a ton to S1.50
ton. A colloquy, at first humorous
but later developing into PERSONAL
ties, developed between Mr.. Stanley
(Ky) and Mr.. Clark (Fla.), and was
terminated only upon an objection by
Mr.. Crumpacker Qnd), that it was
against the dignity of the house.

GREAT CROWDS
At H. H. HALLS
Main Street Furniture Store Was
Crowded All Day
Wednesday.

Mr.. Henry H. Hall entertained his
friends and patrons Wednesday after
noon and evening with a handsome
"Opening" at his store on Main street.
"A thrOng Of visitors accepted his in
vitatiOn. In the afternoon from
twelve to fifteen hundred persons
passed in and out of the attractive
store, and in the evening large num-
Der of guests were entertained.
The windows of the building were
beautifully dressed for the occasion.
One represented a colonial dining
room, with its handsome mahogany
furniture, rich red draperies and
oriental rug. Here the round table
stood as if for an elegant luncheon. 1t
was adorned with lace mats and cen
tire piece. Colonial tumblers and
candle sticks with red candles and
red flower shades. The effect of this
window was extremely artistic and it
was much observed and talked of by
all who passed the store.
The other window was tastefully
decorated in Southern smilax and red
pointsetters and contained the sani-
taire bed which is to be given away
Saturday.
The first and second floors of the
store were deliberately and brilliantly
decorated in trailing vines of South
ern smilax and red and white point
settlers, while on the tables and stands
rested large vases of cut flowers.
In an alcove on the second floor
was a table from which delicious ice
cold frappe was served all during
the hours of the afternoon and even
ing. The guests enjoyed the sweet
music of the Winchester orchestra
which was stationed on the second
floor.
Mr.. Halls store is crowded with
furniture Of all kinds. The three
floors were visited by hundreds all
day. The stock carried will in vari-
ETY. and extent compare favorably
with the large stores in Lexington
and will exceed anv other store in this
section of the State.

TAFT REFEREES
WH|SKEY CONTEST
Distillers Continue Fight on Pure

White House. q

Washington, april 8. - The bitter
controversy which has been in prog
ress ever since the pure food law was
enacted as to what is whisky" was
renewed at the White House before
President Taft as referee. The de-
bate enlisted the services Of many dis
tinguished lawyers, among them Jo-
seph H. Choate. former ambassador to
Great Britain. and John G. Carlisle,
former secretary of the treasury. In
addition there were present the rep
resentatives of practically all the big
distilleries of this country. Attorney
General Wickersham, Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson and DR.. Harvey
W. Wiley, the pure food expert, were
among the government representa-
tives heard.
Under the ruling of Former Attor-
ney General Bonaparte. in consonance
with an opinion by Dr. Wiley, all
whisky not aged and freed from fusel
oil by several years Of storage in
white oak barrels which have been
charred on the inside, has been made

anxious to have this ruling reversed.

pure and free from deleterious ingre-

INDEPENDENTS
AND Burnley
Growers Get Together and Settle
All Their Differences
AmicahIy.

CINCINNATI, o., April Sat the
conclusion of the final session late
yesterday all matters which resulted
in the call for the meeting here of the
Independent Manufacturers and Elk
ecutive Officers of the Kentucky Bur-
ley Tobacco Society regarding the
pooled crop Of Burley tobacco had
been disposed of amicably to all par
ties concerned.
The ten per cent of the crop which
the BureIy Society still had on hand
as a result of the failure of a Louis
vile firm to take up its purchase; it
was announced had been taken over
by these firms.
John j. Bagley & Company, De
troit; Larus Brothers, Richmond /;
Lowell, Burlington & Company, of
Covington; The United States Tobac-
co Company, of Richmond, and the
Peoples Tobacco Company, Of New
Orleans.
With the final putting through of
this deal representing three hundred
and eighty-fve thousand dollars, il
was stated, there is now no Burnley
tobacco to go upon the market.
An /. .portant action of the meet
ing of Burley Society and the In
dependents was the appointment by
the latter of an exchange committee
composed of f. c Frank, Of Louis
vile, and f. w. Lowden, of Cincin-
matt, with W. L Petty, of Lexington,
KY. as an advisor.
This committee is to act as a sort
of clearing house between the man
ufacturers and also between them
and the growers. An effort was made
In the meeting Of Independent manu-
facturers, held apart from the Bur
ley Society, to pool the tobacco now
in their hands, but the proposition
was rejected.

FEAR REVISION UPWARD
Senate Finance Committee AssaiIed
by Many Interests.


Washington, April = Onslaughts
upon the senate committee on finance
by prominent members of congress
have become so vigorous since it be-
came known that the work of insert
ing rates in the bill soon to be re-
ported has actually begin, that there
is danger of revision being decidedly
of an upward trend, it is said, unless
deaf ears are turned to importunate
interests.
In spite of these conditions good
progress is being made, and Senator
Aldrich, the chairman. said he could
predict that when the bill is reported
it will be seen that the revision has
I'been downward, especially upon the
necessaries of life.
Senators Dick and Burton intro
J duced delegation of coal producers
from eastern Ohio who ship their
products to Ontario and other Cana
dian provinces, who desire to retain
the reciprocity clause in the Payne
bill.
The pottery and fine china SEIZED
ules were considered. The views Of
the national association of wholesale
| dealers in pottery were presented by
Jerome Jones of Boston, f. H. Pitkin
of Chicago and George w. Kinney of
Cleveland. They contended that the
actual protection to American pottery
manufacturers is much greater than
represented by the specific rates of 55
and so per cent, and it is claimed
that the actual protection amounts to
80 per cent on decorative and 90 per
cent on white china. They ask a re-
duction to 40 per cent ad valorem on
white and 40 per cent on decorative
china. The delegation had been re-
ceived previously by President Taft.
Mr.. Jones talked to the president
about speeches delivered by him in
the recent campaign, in which the
president declared that the pottery
industry needed greater protection.
The delegation gained the impression
from Mr.. Taft that he was speaking
generally of the pottery industry and
had no special reference to the man.
ufacture of fine china. 1t IS said
there is a disposition on the part of
senators to still further increase the
duty on china.
