f., My Dear Albright:
Knowing your interest in the

furnishing you a chapter in con,
nection with it. If you have
already been made cognizant of il
then this will be useless, other.
wise | think worth publishing.
In 1874 Hon. Ben Hardin was
appointed secretary Of State by
Gov. Owsley. In speaking OF
this Hardin says When Gov.
OWSley was preparing lis message
in that year to be communicated
to; the General Assembly he
pointed out to hlm-that the
turnpike road be extended from
Cab Orchard to Cumberland Gap
and that the state dividends
on the turnpike road from Louis
vile to Grab Orchard be .ap.
propriated to extend the pike to
Cumberland Gap"
Mr.. Hardin was a wing and in
favor of internal improvements
state and national; and besides
being far sighted man must
have held the view that the ex
tension would be a valuable con-
Meeting link between Louisville
and the South, and as the
mountains, without reaping any
benefit, had been taxed to build
number of pixies in more
favored parts of the state that
something should be done for it.
There is nothing to show that
any sentinentality as to Boone
played any part in the making OF
the suggestion tho it is by nc
means an improbability. This
might be used with effect in in
ducing the Legislature to give
aid based on what in former times
had been done for the blue glass
regions, Yours truly

WILSON'S ACTION ENDS
DOMINICAN rebellion
Leaders of Revolt Ask Minister SulE-
van to Arrange Compromise
with Government.
SIGNIFICANCE OF NEW POLICY

The new and drastic policy OF President
Wilson for the purpose Of discouraslnS
revolutions in Latin America has brought
formal suspension of hostllltles IN
Northern SantO Domingo. where a reVo-
luton has been in progress. Reports 10
the State Department yesterday from
Minister Sullivan indicated that the Pres
ident's notice to the rebels that they VIII.
IL successful. get neither recognition nor
the receipts Of the Dominican customs,
of which the United states is the re-
Ceiver. is having lis effect
simultaneously with the announcement
that they would suspend hOstilities, the
rebel leaders announced that they would
like to have Minister Sullivan try to ar
range a compromise between them and
the government. Mr. Sullivan will do so.
and to this end will journey about the
northern part OF the republic for the
purpose of bringing about an adjustment
Of the situation. II is not expected that
there will be any more fighting in the
present revolution.
State Department officials declare that
the significance Of the new policy cannot
vet be realized. That II will have most
far-reaching effect on the situation in
those Caribbean countries most subject
TO revolution is conceded. BY announcing
to the Dominican rebels that he will
withhold from them, # they are success
ful in turning out the present govern
ment by force. both recognition and the
dominican funds. the State Department
has taken away the only object for which
the rebel leaders have Deen lighting. 1t
is believed that when the terms ol the
notice served on the Dominicans are
known and comprehended by the turbu-
lent clements in other nefghbOring cOun-
tries that II will act as a deterrent upon
those inclined toward revolution.

PuIitzer's Magazine the newest mem

bow to the public this week. 1t is A
safe prediction that those who have had
their expectations aroused by the hints
Of his plans that Mr. Walter Pulitzer
has let drop from time 10 time Will be
in no wise disappointed.
Having incorporated with it Uncle
Remus' Home Magazine Joel Chandler
Harris life work, PuIitzer's naturally
has a strong leaning toward the South
land. on the other hand, II steps at
once into the ranks of periodicals OF
large circulation and into a well-defined
place.
On the serious side William Jennings

Of The Man in the White House" Sec
retary Of War Garrison treats Our
Army as it should be. Bertha Georgia
brennan, in the Silent Woman" opens
up new lines of thought on suffrage.
Flashes from Washington" conducted
by WingrOve Bdthon, is a magazine nov
city that should win appreciation.
Mr. Bathon enters a strong defence
of Mr. Bryan, who has been so merci-
lessly criticised for adding to his income
Dy lecturing tours, and presents some
facts relative to the movements of his
predecessors that compels one to look
upon the matter from a different aspect.
MIR. Bryan. as Secretary of State COM
plains that he is unable to exist on the
salary Of that Office, and therefore must
seek other ways and means OF over
coming the deficit Mr.. Bathon flays the
SecretaTys critics and says 1T is Mr..
Bryan's business. and no ones else"
Lovers OF good fiction will find their
wants well supplied. Karin Michaelis
Stangeland's Mummy Hand" is every
bit as compelling a story as her last
sea sons success. The Dangerous Age"
The other fiction features are hardly
less attractive. and the many illustra-
tions are particularly noteworthy.
Current events. particularly Washing
ton affairs, receive unusual and timely
attention. while literature and the stage
are strongly featured.

Federal Commissioner Of Fisheries, the
Secretary and Assistant Secretary of

merce next Tuesday morning.
Complaint has been made that the
fertilizer companies are engaged in
wholesale and indiscriminate slaugh-
ter of shad and other food fishes, as
well as menhaden. for use in the mar
-ufacture of fertilizer. II is charged
also that they have strung their nets
across the mouths of streams running
into Chesapeake Bay, as well as in the
bay itself, to an extent that not only
rnterferes with navigation. but threat
ents the complete eXJermination of fish
in those waters.
An effort will he made at the meet
ing to arrive at plans for cooperative
action between the States and the Fed

of the FISH and the better enforcement
