Lieut.. Louis NJ Custy of the w. North
avenue police station was made the
basis of charges made against him
with Major Funkhouser
The complainant is Frank Glenon,
a teaming contractor, 455 N. Hermit |
age avenue. Glenon was beaten,
horribly, and to such an extent that |
it might cause permanent injury,
when he went to the station to sign |
bonds for two of his employees.
Friday afternoon Glenon's two en-
ployes were arrested for hauling
bricks from Board of Education prop
erty at Evergreen street and Oakley |
avenue. Shortly after their arrest |
Glenon hurried to the station and
produced a duly signed permit grant |
ing him the privilege of taking the
bricks.
When the matter was almost adj |
justed Lieut.. Custy came hustling
through the door. He appeared rath- |
er wild-eyed
whats the matter" he demanded. |
The desk sergeant explained. Custy |
turned on Glenon. He resented the |
latter's interference.
The lieutenant went into detailed |
account of Glenon's ancestry and |
wound up by ordering the three book
ed for larceny.
Glenon objected. Then Custy, ac-
cording to Glenon, turned and knock
ed him down with a crushing blow
behind the ear. -
The contractor, remembering
something about the constitution of
the United States, came back at Gus
ty and that worthy rushed for a club.
Then Glenon received the beating.
He was knocked down several times.
He was dealt dangerous blow over
the head, which may have resulted
seriously and at least Is blows on the
chest, stomach and other parts of the
body. T.

Responding to numerous in

which he held that election Off
GERS appointed to serve at the
last regular election are not en-
titled to serve at the primary
election. and that new election

County Election Commissioners
to hold the primary election.
He also decided that if only
one party had candidates before
the primary twill be necessary
for the election officers to be APP
pointed from both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties.
The Attorney General has re,
ceived many inquiries asking
that where only one party has
candidates before the primary
whether election officers must be
chosen from the Democratic and
Republican parties. He says the
law Is strict on this subject, and
plainly states that election Off
GERS must be chosen from both
parties.
Candidates may withdraw
from the primary after filing
their petitions, is the opinion of
the Attorney General. Several
inquiries along this line have
been received by Judge Garnett.

Railroad Freight Rates.

There has been a great deal of
agitation and complaint on the
part of our people about Rail-
road Freight rates, claiming they
are too high, and criticising the
Kentucky Railroad Commission
for not regulating these rates.
The Editor recently had an in
terview with Mr.. H. q. Garrett,
the Commissioner from this Dis
trIct, and he made the following
statement, in substance:
The Railroad Commission has
no power whatever to regulate
Railroad freight rates without
making thorough investigation
and giving the Railro IDS the
proper legal hearing. Most all
of the Courts have made decis-
ions on this point. If the peo-
pie think aud believe the freight
rates are too high, they should
make complaint to the Commits
sion and let the matter be tried
out. He also states that he has
had many letters and had many
statements made to him, CON-
planning of the high freight rates,
and at all. times he has asked the
parties to file complaint and 1T
would be properly tried out. If
the people in Eastern Kentucky,
or any other part of the State are
too cowardly to contend for what
they believe to be their rights,
then they are not entitled to a
hearing before the Commission.
1t is only business matter and
a square deal should be given all
around.
He also stated that only a let
ter backed up by the party max
ing complaint coming before the
Commission, shall have all the
attention possible and the Com.
mission will put forth every ef-
fort to see that justice is done.
1t is not even necessary for the
complainant to have an attorney.
The Chairman of the Commits
sion, Hon. Lawrence b. Finn, is

Took After the Roads.

Soon will be the time of year
when the roads of Powell county
get what work they dosset. The
Times would like to impress up
on the road workers the. all inn
portance of doing what work is
done as early as possible as late
worked roads do not have time
to properly settle before winter.
Another important feature is to
have all partr of the road well
drained. This much thoroughly
done, and no real bad places will
be found this winter. The grade
work, of course, is important but
nothing is of the importance that
is drainage. Mr.. Overseers,
please see to this work this fall
AS best you can, then the travel
ing public will rise up and bless
your name this winter when they
can use these improved roads.

earnestly these young folks will sit
back and laugh and whisper during
the whole service. 1t would be
good thing for the church to rent a
building or build one where young
couples can go and do their spoon
ing instead of during the relig-
ious services. These young peo-
pie do not think that there are
Others there who want to hear the
preacher but who are disturbed by
the gigling and whispering. Last
Sunday night one couple were so
spoony that they were oblivious of
The preacher and of the crowd that
sat behind them who wanted to
hear the preacher but were disturb
ed. If a young man or woman
has no respect for the church and
want to giggle and whisper then
please do not come to the services
for that purpos. You have no right
to disturb others who are anxious
to hear the preacher.

But Kentucky is the finest state in

Kentuckisns have left this state by
the thousands and have travelled
and settled down far and near but
there is always longing for old
Kentucky that is irresistible and
finally brings the wanderer back to

will over this country of ours and
there is no state song that is sung
as much as "My Old Kentucky
Hone" Even other states thai
have their state songs love our
song the best. At the great Worlds
Sunday School Convention in
Washington three years ago twenty
thousand delegates shook Wash
Ington from one end to the. other
in the singing of our state song and
they said that it brought the tears
to thousands of people who Were
from Kentucky or who were living
in other states but were born in
Kentucky. Yes, there is no place
like Kentucky after all.
