PROFIT IN GARBAGE
Commissioners Plan Survey OF
Possibility of Municipal
Collections.
WORK DONE NOW AT COST
OF $68, 400 EACH YEAR
Dead Animals Gathered for $1,000
Annually and Is Believed $4,000
Could Be Made.

That substantial profit may he real
lied by the District in the collection AMI
handling of garbage is the belief of Off
cials of the engineer department. upon
whose recommendation the Commission
ers have included in the estimates an
item for a survey to determine the prac-
ticability of municipal collection OF all
city waste.
1t is evident that the question Of keep
ing Washington in the b5st sanitary con-
dition possible is coming in for a consid-
erable amount of consideration by the
commissioners, Congress and Washing
tonians generally. Rough estimates made
in the engineer department indicate that
should the city take over the garbage
collection contract which is maintained
at cost of SOS. 40o year, it could pro-
vide this service at profit by reason of
the revenue to be derived from the ma
terialS handled.

which cost $1S.1a0 and $1,000 year. re-
spectively. it is believed tn be doubtful If
the city could assume this work at less
expense. but advantages would be de-
rived through extension of service and
supervision under operation by the mu-
nicipaity, it is predicted.
The city now pays about $1,000 year
for the contract under which the dead
animal service is maintained. 1t is
claimed that this work could be done
directly by the municipality at a profit
of about $1,000 annually.

TRAGEDY
Follows the Death of B. L.
Banks.

On last Wednesday, Mr.. B. L.
Banks, one of our leading citizens,
left here for a few days rest at
his old home in Adair County.
While there, he was stricken
with pneumonia and died on Sun
day afternoon at about three
o'clock Messages bearing the
sad tidings were received by his
family here.
Mrs. Banks, who had been i'll
for some months from nervous
troubles, was completely crushed
by the blow. Their little son,
Ben Jr., was not informed of his
fathers death.
Friends called at the residence
and rendered aid and all that low
ing, sympathetic hands and hearts
could do, was done to cheer and
revive Mrs. Banks.
About ten o'clock that night
Mrs. Banks asked to see her hus-
bands will, saying that it may
suggest where he desired to be
buried. While her brother Mr..
COrneliSOn was in the library
reading the will, she called her
little son to her side and shot him
through the temple, then placing
the weapon to her own temple,
fired the second shot, falling pros
trate on his body. Hearing the
shots from above her brother
rushed to her room to find it lock
ed. Breaking it open, the awful
spectacle was before him. His
own son, a lad about twelve years
/ old who was in the room, told the
circumstances of the tragedy.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Banks stood
high here in the social and busi
ness world.
Mr.. Banks was the Junior
member of the firm of Covingtor
and Banks, one of the fashionable
Gents Furnishing Stores of the
City.
Mrs. Banks a few years ago
designed the double red cross
tuberculosis insignia which has
been universally adopted.
Mr.. Banks was inferred at his
old home on Monday. Mrs
Banks and Ben Jr., will be inter,
red at the Cornelison buryine
ground near Fort Estill on We'd
nesday.

The Governor then gave a bril-
liant and glowing description of
the engagement of Lake Erie in
which Commodore Perry cap
tured the British fleet. He
praised the work of the Ken
lucky soldiers who took part in
this engagement.
The speaker then told of the
splendid work of the Kentucky
troops in the battle of the
Thames, giving striking examples
of heroism of officers and pri-
Yates, followed by still further
illustrations of Kentucky heroism
at the battle of New Orleans.
Gov. McCreary then gave a
comparison of our country, then
and now, saying in part: Then
there were but 18 states in the
Union; now there are 48. There
were but eight million people
in the United States; now there
are 95 million. The area of our
country at the close of the revo-
luton was only $4,000 square
miles; today we have three mil
lion and twenty-siX thousand
square miles in this great repub-
lie" He then went into detail
as to the progress the country
has made as to population, etc.
He said: 1--WE enjoy four priv
ileges now that we did not have
then. They are peace, Educa-
tien, Good Morals and Freq Gov
ernment."
He then gave a review of the
progress that has been made to-
ward international peace, saying
in part: Friends, is there any
thing more beautiful than for our
country to take the lead in peace,
for our country to be able to pro-
claim peace on earth," to be able
to so conduct diplomatic relations
as to have peace with the whole
world? There could be no work
so important as that"
Gov. McCreary then took up
education, saying in part: Il have
been delighted at the great inn
provement that has been made
in Kentucky in our educational
movements. Kentucky was slow
in establishing Normal Schools
but in the last ten years Kentucky
has made great progress. There
is a higher standard of education
in Kentucky now than ever be-
fore. There are more high schools
in Kentucky than ever before
and Superintendent Hamlet says
that before long the Common
Schools in the Commonwealth
will be seven months instead of
six"
He then gave striking examp-
les of the improvement Kentucky
has made along different lines,
closing with a beautiful tribute to
the students and faculty, caution
ing the students, who are to be
teachers, to prepare for the great
battle of life, to make thorough
preparation in order to serve the
the interests of Kentucky to the
best advantage.
Dr.. Crabbe, after the speaker
had finished, said to the students:
/ "You have heard this morning
a man who has rendered long
Eand most excellent service both
to his state and to his Nation. l
thank you, Gov. MeCreary; we
are proud of your record. We are
proud of our twice Governor, Jas.
B. McCreary."

GREAT SPEECH
Delivered by Gov. Jas. B
McCreary at the
Normal.

Gov. McCreary came over from
Frankfort last Monday and on
last Tuesday morning he address
ed a large and enthusiastic audi
ence at the auditorium at the
Normal School.
AS Gov. McCreary, accompa-
MED by DR.. d. H. Scanlon and
DR.. Crabbe entered the audito-
rum, the audience arose and
sung America"
Governor McCreary was intro
duced by DR.. Crabbe who said in
part "We are glad that Gov. Nc
Creary has come to speak to us
on this, November 4, 1913. but |
am also especially glad in the
presence of these young men
and women assembled, to know
that Gov. McCreary comes to us
from Frankfort, our Capitol, and
the first thing he did was to go
to the polls and exercise his right
of suffrage. | believe it is the
duty of every citizen, great or
small, to exercise that right, to
help build up a great citizenship
and great civilization in our coun-
try. Gov. McCreary delivered at
Put-In-Bay during the Perry Cen
tennial Celebration a very re-
markable and now famed ad.
dress. The topic was, Ken
tucky's Part in the War of 1872" j"
When Gov. McCreary arose to
speak he was greeted with en-
thusiastic and continued ap
plause.
During his speech the Govern
or compiirnented very highly the
work of the Normal Schools over
the United States and particu
larly the work of the Kentuck,
Normal Schools.
Gov. McCreary referred to the
fact that Kentucky took an i'm
portant part in the war of 1872
Before that war commenced
Kentucky was active in sending
Gen. Clark and his men acros:
the Ohio, who drove the Indian:
and the French from that wilder
4 ness and out of this territory
came the states of Ohio, Indiana
Illinois, Wisconsin and Michi
! gan.
Gov. McCreary then com
mented briefly on the causes Of
the War, giving Jefferson's posi-
ton in the matter and the decla
ration of war under the admins
tration of Madison.
He said in part: News came
to Kentucky that war had beer
declared by the United States
then having but l8 states in all
against this greatest country o
the world. England was thel
known to the world as a worll
power. Yet the. Kentuckian
did not hesitate, did not delay
did not complain but raised th'
$500 men that was Kentucky
quota in thirty days. In every
war that has ever occurred where
Kentucky was called on fo
troops, she has always furnished
them promptly"

incidents leading up to the mas
sacre at lRaisin in which hun
dreds of Kentuckians were mur
