trade agreement adjourned yesterday.
At the conclusion Of the meeting the
commissioners issued a joint statement
and each and every one of them posi-
lively refused to add another word or

a promise'm made in the meeting room that

CARLISLE. KY, January 21.-Ths
greatest sensation that this section OF
Kentuckys blue grass region has ever
known came today when Laura Gray. a
beautiful twenty -three-year-old girl. was
arrested. charged with having brutality
murdered her newborn child. Mrs. Lucy
Gray. the girls mother. and Richard
Smot. one Of the weaithiest farmers I'm
this section Of the state. were arrested At
the same time. The mother was released
upon the girls declaration that she had
been innocent of any knowledge OF the
murder of the child. but Smot was held
as an accessory in the crime.
Particularly Brutal Murder.
The method by which the child was
done to death was atrociously brutal A
large pin had been driven into its brain
through one Of its eyes and his skull had
been battered into pulp with a club. The
girl. it is charged. committed the murder.
The sensation that the case has caused
is intensified by the social prominence OF
all of the parties. Miss Gray Is one OF
the most beautiful and accomplished girls
of Carlisle and for years has been one
of the towns acknowledged bellies. Smot
has been equally prominent socially, and
for some time had been markedly At.

Efforts to Gain Information.
AS the statement issued from the de-
partment clearly indicates there will be
no information afforded as to the sched-
ules affected before next Thursday, II
then. Strenuous efforts have been made
by senator's and representatives and
other prominent men to secure some
inkling Of the action taken in regard to
products in which they or their constitu-
ents are directly interested, but they
have all met with failure. the commits
sioners grimly declaring that any state
ment made on that subject will be abso-
iutely and purely speculative. 1t is not
even known what form the announced
agreement will take; whether 1t will be
presented in the shape of a treaty or
take the shape OF a simple joint resolu-
ton to be laid before the American Con-
gress and the Canadian parliament. OF
course, il the decision Is i'm favor OF
treaty, the commissioners and the State
Department people would be absolutely
bound to refrain from giving any infor-
nation as to it's details, and especially
as to the schedules affected until the
United States Senate had acted upon the
convention and removed from it the seal
Of secrecy.

players with whom it is a favorite OFF,
season amusement. have frequently been
discussed, but the consensus or opinion
now seems to be that too great an IN
diligence in the diversion is not good for
them. Bowling has entirely different
motions from base ball. and tends to
develop muscles not needed in the latter.
with the consequence that when the men
go on tie diamond they may find them
selves handicapped by muscles which in
terfere with the quick and free throwing
so essential in the national pastime.

and there is lost and undone portion
Of the population which plays poker, but
such are hardly exercises. Hence, when
the pleasures of bowling were once APP
preciated people who like competition and
exertion in their amusements took to it
with astonishing avidity.
Bowling Is very old game. The mod
ern variety is entirely different from that
bowling on the green which was pop
ular In medieval Europe and which fur
nished amusement for the gentry OF Eng
land. Strangely enough, although the
game was so popular In England and
was played by the English cc.onists in
New York, it was preserved largely by
the Germans. 1t was not many years
ago when the only bowling alleys to be
found in the United States were located
at German picnic grounds. When the
great revival began about twenty years
ago the list of champions read like the
roll call OF the kaiser's bodyguard. Even
now the roster Of the teams In the big
cities is suggestive of a Saengerbund Pc
titiOn. But the Irish, French Canadians
and other nationalities are coming into
their own, and the Teutons no longer
have monopoly Of tenpin honors.

The earliest record of modern bowling
in the United States was contest on the
knickerbocker alleys in New York jan
uary l. 1910, but with the alleys Of those
days 1t must have been a sad affair. The
old ia shioned balls, only more or less
rounded, the pins of uncertain size, and
the players with few opportunities for
good practice, probably produced q score
that threatened no record Of the present
day.
Some effort has been made to revive in
this country the game of bowling green
or lawn bowls. This Is not at all like
bowling, but resembles quoits or the
Scotch game of curling. 1t is played
on the grass. 1t is played in England
and all the English colonies and is a
survival Of the old game on the green's.

thing to the southern farmer.
we did not reject the plan he
declared at was the south which
rejected It., and the southern farm
ers are opposed to It only because
they do not understand It, They
will have to be educated into the
knowledge that our scheme is not q

the south TO believe

put through the plan which we pro
posed some time ago to the commit
tee from the south. which met In

the south TO accept something II
does not want, but II 1t should mp

we would see to IT that the plan w
suggested was put through.
AS It Is. number Of individual
farmers OF the south have express
ed their desire TO have Us handle
their cotton for them on the plaf
which we proposed for the entire
south. This viii be lesson which
will show the rest OF the south just
what we intended, and II Is prob
able that by next year others will
be willing TO fall In with tho
scheme.
