Nuremberg county branch of the
American Society of Equity met
here to-day and ratified the sale of
the tobacco held by the society. The
tobacco was sold to John II. Hoge,
of Paducah, at prices ranging from
IS to 50 for leaf and Tugs, and SO
for trash. There are about 2,200,-
900 pounds in the pool which was
sold by the action of the farmers
to-day. The price is about 81 low
er than that realized last year, and
President M. w. Carver and 9TH
ers of the society say that the ac-
ton of the new Green River Dis
trict of Owensboro in selling g.
100000 pounds at these figures
about five weeks ago, is responsible
for the loss to the Muhlenberg
growers. There is an organization
at Penrod, in this county, that
holds 100000 pounds of tobacco
that has not been sold.
Mr.. Hoge will begin receiving to-
bacco here Wednesday and at South
Carrollton later in the week. Bus
mess here has been considerably re-
tarded on account of the failure of
the farmers to sell. and great salts
faction is felt now that the deal
has been closed.

SUBTRACT BOMBS
FAIL OF PURPOSE

London, May 1.-two more Of the
now familiar bombs, which the militant
s~uffragets are attempting to scare the
British parliament into giving the par
~liamentary franchise to women were
discovered this morning. One of them
was found in the passengers waiting
room at the street railway station in
Liverpool and the other in the sorting
room Of the postoffice at Reading. The
fuse Of the Liverpool bomb had been
lighted by the perpetrators of the out
rage, blu a died out before 1t reached
the gun powder. The bomb consisted
of a tin tobacco box filled with gun
powder and iron nuts and the long fuse
was laid in the center.
The Reading machine was wrapped
in a bulky parcel to which the atten-
ton of the postoffice employees was at
tracted by the sound of ticking. The
police were called in and on examina-
ton found that the parcel contained
an electric battery connected by clock
work with explosives and accompanied
by quantities of the suffraget Iitera-
ture. The parcel was addressed to a
municipal official at Reading now on
his vacation. The officials express the
opinion that 1t was timed to explode in
his residence during his absence. The
clock work arrangement was in perfect
working order.

pressed against the federal position.
with a wicked rifle fire. Five hundred
cavalry moved down from the right
wing under Majors Trujillo and Cutter
rez, with General Obregon command
er of the state forces directing the
advance from the center rear.
So persistent was the Insurgents adj
vance, forming Its semicirc1e OF FIRE,
that soon the federals began to retreat
despite their artillery, which tossed
shrapnel behind the hills and anyon
where the constitutionalists were con-
cealed.
The federal formation, seen through
high owe glasses from the states
right, had 10 cannon in the center and
cavalry to the right, a total of 1900
men, the main bodies of which were
two miles apart. Both divisions fell
back toward GuayamaS.

But Defers Action at Presi-
dents Request.

Washington. May 12.-Peace has set
tied over the democratic camp again
and the laurels rest with the admin
stration. The democratic congression-
al committee which met last night To

any final action. This delay was at
the request of President Wilson.
In a statement, issued by retiring
Chairman Lloyd. approved by the pres
ident, it was set forth that the presi-
dent is not inimical to the candidacy
OF any one for the craftsmanship, but
that he desired principally to increase
the effectiveness OF the committee by
adding a number OF senators to its per-
sonnet. 1t was understood previous to
the Lloyd statement that Mr.. Wilson
has opposed the selection Of Represent
ative Johnsons for chairman. Johnson
is of the Clark-Underwood faction. The
meeting last night was held at the in
stance of Representative Pepper, Of
Iowa, who is a candidate for secretary
of the committee.
