For several years past we have
had game laws in Kentucky but
as rule they have been wink
ed at and il was no uncommon
sight to see hunters coming in
,,.veral days before the opening
Of the hunting season with a
day's kill. This year we have
siricter laws and they are being
strictly enforced and verify the
way of the transgressor is hard.
Quite a number of men and
Toys in Knox County have had
"a ray the penalty for violation
Of the game laws during the
past few weeks aud as a result
the fish and game has been let
alone very muchly. Whether
these laws are satisfactory to us
or not, there is one thing certain,
hey are being enforced,

Some time ago it was announc-
ed that the Corbin Times had
changed hands, but that the edi-
torial policy, as far as politics
was concerned, would remain
under the control of former edi-
tor Metcalf until after the cleo
ton, after which time the new
editor, Mr.. James Price would
announce his political policy.
Last week was his first issue un-
der the new management and
they came out as an lndepend-
emit, or if they have any prefer
ence they fail to so state. We
have our own ideas as to what
its politics would have been had
Seavy and the Progressives been
successful in the district.

That Cirofcrs attorney made no objec-
ton to having his hearing before the
coroner continued until tomorrow lent
strength to the rumors of coming state
ment.
In "Dago Franks" behalf, however, 1t
was stated by his counsel, Caesar de Bar
ra, that an alibi would be proved Three
witnesses will appear, De Barra said. to
show that at the time OF the shooting
Cirofici was in Harlem seeking to obtain
bail for a woman who had been arrested.
Ciroficis mother was in the coroner $
court and conferred for some time with
her son and Attorney De Barra.
That hard legal battle IN behalf OF
Lieutenant Becker will be made was in
d.cated today by arrangements said to
have been made by his attorney to OBJ
tain every delay possible. The main at
tack in the early stages, it is said, will
be upon the hurried indictment found
against Becker at night session of the
grand Jury, claiming 1t was irregular.
Every effort of the prosecution to hurry
Becker to trial will be fought vigorously,
Halt in Case
An evident halt In the progress OF the
states case against Becker became no.
ticeable today. This is said to be due
largely to the great amount of work in
volved In finding corroborative evidence
to support the statements of Rose, Web
Der and WALTON, upon which the Becker
Indictment was based. Probably a hun
bred or more Witnesses must be locked up
and their statements taken, 1t is said,
and many of these have not been found.
The attention given by the authorities to
running down the allegations of grating
police officials also has delayed work
upon the Becker charges to some ex-
tent.
One direct result of the graft charges
against the police came today when four
members Of the Strong arm squad"
formerly commanded by Lieutenant Beck
or, who were employed in getting evidence
against gambling resorts were trans
ferred to precinct duty.
Public attention recently has been at
tracted TO the operation Of the STRONG
arm mem through the large expense ac-
counts submitted in gathering evidence
against gamblers.
The allegation by Bald Jack" Rose
that the graft tribute collected by GER
tain police officials amounted to s2,400-
COO annually was ridiculed today by John
W. Hart, attorney for Becker, for whom
Rose declared he had been collector
from gamblers.
ut will take more than Rose or half
dozen like him TO make a New York
jury believe there ever was q fund like
that" said Mr.. Hart. This was the only
phase of his clients case that Mr.. Hart
would discuss, although he had long
conference today with Becker. BY Mr..
Harris order silence also has been I'M
posed on the accused lieutenant and all
those close to him. Becker today de-
clared his greatest concern at present is
for his wife.
The thought of my wife and her po-
stion is the worst thing have to bear"
he said. Everything is going to turn
out all right. however, you can be sure
OF that
