EXEMPT SCHOOL DEBT.

Frankfort-TheK Kentucky court OF
appeals decided that the proposed
bond issue Of 100000 for street i'm
provements is valid, as the debt OF the
debt OF the Newport board OF educa-
ton can not be counted as part OF the
aggregate bonded debt Of the city
proper. II the school debt had been
counted as part OF the city's debt, Il
would have carried the total debt be-
yond the constitutional limit, and the
proposed bond issue would have been
invalid.

'EIGHT INVOLVED
IN PLOT
Enormous Reward Offered
for Apprehension of Dyna-

No New Light on the Outrage
Committed on Newspaper

Los Angeles, Oct. 6.-The rewards
offered for the apprehension of the
dynamiters who blew up the Times
building last Saturday morning were
reduced from an aggregate of more
than one hundred thousand to thirty,
five thousand following Mayor Alex
ander's statement that in his opinion
the total had reached far too large
a figure. The Merchants and Manu-.
facturers' Association through Secre-
tary Zeehandlaar announced today
that it had cut its offer down to $l5,.
600 and will devote the balance of
$4,000 originally posted to other pur-
poses. However this still leaves the
amount more than any offered in re.

from the police today that at least
eight men are believed to have been
involved in the plot to destroy the

effort to apprehend the dynamiters
still centers around San Francisco

trated the outrage are believed to
have come.

surface in safety. The managers say

Elected on the Republican ticket
by large majority in Quay, a strong
.ly Democratic county, Charles H
Kohn is a merchant, who may justly
feel proud over his selection as a del
egate to the constitutional conven.
tion.
Charles H. Kohn first saw the light
of day at Las Vegas, N. NJ, June s.
1871. His boyhood days were passed
at Las Vegas, and the foundation for
future years was laid in the schools
of that city. In his 18th year his moth
er thought it wise to send him east
to attend famous high school of New
Jersey from which he was graduated
four years later.
At Denver, Colo, during the follow.
ing four years he prepared himself,
under the guidance of one of that
city's merchant princes, for his future
career. 1t was in 1900 that Mr. Kohn
returned to Las Vegas, where in com
pany with brother, he opened a
small store. This was operated two
succeeding years and discontinued on.

Thus Rules the Supreme
Coure OF the-sstase-ef

VOID FORWANT Of JURISDICTION
Staggering Blow to Chief Indus
try of Nevada's Pictures
que Resort.

New York, Oct. 6.-"The Prospec-
tive Widows Colony" at Reno, Neva-
da, has suffered bad blow in a de-
cision of the New York supreme court
just announced. 1t is ruled that the
woman who goes to Nevada for the
purpose of securing a divorce and
then returns to New York state, is
still the wife Of that husband. 1t is
declared that the New York court
may arrive at this conclusion from
any evidence which shows that di-
vorce proceedings were instituted as
soon as she had remained in Nevada
long enough to satisfy the authorities
that she had obtained a residence.
The Reno divorce, the court rules, is
void for want of Jurisdiction.

LITERARY CLUBS THAT
DISPENSE BOOZE
Texas Authorities Have Organizations
of That Nature Under Close
Surveillance However.

Austin, Texas, Oct. 6.-Social, mus
ical and literary clubs of Texas are
under surveillance of the state au-
thorities. This does not arise from
any hostility to literature or music or
to society, but because the charge
has been made that some of these
clubs are used to get around the Sun
day closing law and allow thirsty
man to get drink by buying dollar
membership. 1t is said in some OF
these clubs that If man shows dol
lars worth of interest in Shakespeare
he is presented with a bottle of booze
by way of inspiration. Most of these
clubs charge ten cents a month dues
and member is expelled after he
fails to pay his dues for several
months. Their bylaws, however, do
not always prevent member from
joining again if he makes UP his ar
rears. At least this is the states &C
count of the system used and in GER
