Traffic Ordinance Being C0nsid-

That there is loophole in the Ken
lucky laws to permit the escape from
heavy fines of the speeders of motor
cars and motor cycles. was brought OUT
clearly in the city court at Louisville
last week when a dozen automobilists
were arraigned onlthe chagre of rum
ming motor cars at excessive speed, in
violation of the law.
The State law provides motorists
must not exceed the legal limit of Is
miles per hour, for more than one
eighth of, a mile. and the inability to
prove that the culprts were guilty of
the charge resulted in the dismissal of
the one, and they were fined on a
modified charge.
At present there is in force in the
city of Paris an ordinance regulating
the speed of automobiles in the city
limits which provides that motor cars
| cannot be run at speed in excess of
eight miles an hour. and five miles per
| hour in turning street corners. The
police are making an effort to enforce
| the law and close watch is being kept
for all speeders within the city limits.
The accident of 4 Sunday night in
which very valuable horse was killed
and in which human lives were endan-
gered, was the result of fast driving
and an example made of a few who
insist upon the violation of the law
would perhaps be a warning to others
Another matter which is likely to be
ltaken.up by the city council is tht
passage of an ordinance regulating
traffic. A fair sample of the mead O.
such an ordinance was given Saturda!
| lof ~, cf~ off
close of the fair, was in such con
gested condition as to render the pass
age of vehicle impossible. 1t j
probable the council will pass an Ordi
nance similar to that now in effect il
Lexington. Such an ordinance woul
no doubt lessen the chances for acci
dents and relieve conditions that eXis
almost daily on our narrow streets.
The Bourbon news., 1912-09-10

A horse belonging to Mrs. r. A..
Flanders and driven by her nephew.
Chas. johnson, was so badly injured
that it had to be killed when SUNDAY
night about 8 80 O'Clock it was struck
by an automobile driven by Harry
King, of Carlisle, ,sat the intersection
of the North Middletown and Mays
Vile pixies at the city limits. That
the occupants of the buggy were not
injured is regarded as miraculous, as
King was said to have been driving
the machine at an excessive rate of
speed.
Johnson in company with Turner
Reid, of North Middletown, was Ie-
turning from Little Rock where they
had spent the day and were turning
from the North Middletown pike to-
ward Paris when the car driven by
King struck the horse, breaking the
left foreleg. The occupants of the
buggy:made several attempts to have
the driver stop the car but without re-
suit and he continued in the direction
of MilJersburg.
Both Johnson and Reid were badly
frightened and it was several minutes
before they realized the extent of the
damage from the collision. Residents
of the neighborhood heard the distress
ing sounds made by the injured horse
and went to their assistance. DR..
Frank Campbell was called and after
examining the animal found THAT it
was impossible to save it after which
it was humanely destroyed.
According TO the statement of John
son, King only had one light on his
car burning and that he was driving
the machine at rate of speed in ex-
cess of twenty five miles an hour when
the horse was struck. The horse,
which was the property Of Mrs. Flan-
ders, who resides on Walker avenue,
was very valuable animal.
The buggy in which the young men
were riding was uninjured.
Axwarrant was issued yesterday for
the arrest of King and was sent to
Carrilse last night. The warrant
charged him with reckless driving.

contempt in the proceedings growing
out Of the publication in the American

and his sentence was deferred.
because these respondents have
shown themselves ready to repeat the
seditions of the past, the penalties in
these cases ought to be in proportion
to the gravity Of the offenses," declar-
ed Wright in his decision.
Wright declared that Eugene v.

tempt of court was not sufficient, land
the offense OF the least of these (Mor.
rison) was more malicious than that
Of Debs."
Three of Wrights colleagues sat on

Fight on the Floor.


That the opposition to Bryan be-
lieved that he would carry his fight
to the floor was shown by the fact
that they have been dickering with
the Clark leaders to swing their
strength into line behind Parker. The
Clark forces have refused to take this
action but the pressure was still being
applied when the national committee
went into session.
Reports that Bryan has been asked
to compromise the fight continued to
circulate.
II is known that Lewis Nixon and
other friends of the Nebraskan who
are close to Murphy. Taggart. Sulli-
van and Mack, have carried messages
to Bryan They know just what men
he would be willing to accept as tenn
porary chairman and have reported
their identity to Bryan. But whether
one Of these will be substituted for
Judge Parker will not be known until
the committee completes its labors
this afternoon.
The muddle over the Craftsmanship
seems to have pleased the rank and
file of the delegates, who have been
arriving here in constant stream
ever since Sunday morning. There is
none OF the bitterness apparent that
was in evidence in Chicago SO far as
the rank and file OF the organization
lis concerned. They seem confident
that all difficulties will finally be
settled, and the party united. So they
have set themselves to the task of dis
cussing candidates, and platforms with
avidity.

Bryan u Brave.

Bryan has positively refused today
to be frightened over the declaration
OF the anti-Bryan members of the ma
tional committee that they had the
votes to put Parker over in the con-
vention. and that not only would they
run the steam roller over Bryan and
his aides, but that they would put a
few spikes into the great steel wheel
and mangle few Of them.
The count Of the votes will show
that the democratic party is progress

are going to win. The candidate OF
this convention will be man whose
progressivism can not be questioned
and the platform will be short,
snappy declaration OF the principle
now sweeping the country, the abso-
lutte right Of the people to rule
Bryan positively refused to consider
the possibility OF state of affairs de-
veloping here which would make the
progressives follow the example OF
the progressives at Chicago and bolt.
he insisted to personal friends who
claimed that they saw fusion I'M
pending between the Clark forces and
those OF Underwood, Harmon and the
80 New Workers controlled by Murphy
of Tammany, that they were placing
too MUCH Importance on rumors. He
declared that Clark had fought as a
progressive and there was no reason
to doubt that he was progressive and
if he should go over to the reaction
aries, Bryan is understood to have
pointed out, he could not count on hi
followers on any of the questions OF
convention organization and they
could leave him at any time after they
had discharged their obligation by
voting for his nomination on the ini-
tial ballot.
