Lexington, KY, April 5.-Mrs.
Elijah Carr. who lives near Millers-
burg, in Bourbon county, has be-
come insane and is physically pros
trated by the shock from her son
having been drowned in Hinkston
creek during the flood a week or
more ago, and the body not having
been recovered. The boy was
drowned by falling from the horse
on which he had ridden into the
creek land an older brother who
accompanied him almost lost his
life in futile effort at rescue. AS
soon as the food in the creek had
in a measure subsidized the stream
was dynamited from the point
where the boy had fallen in. to Rud-
dies Mill, a distance of four miles,
in the hope of bringing the body to
the surface. This proving futile,
the Licking river into which the
creek empties. was searched for
some distance but no trace of the
body was found.

we'll known young society men OF
this city, who went to Dayton. o.,
on their motorcycles three days ago
on a sightseeing expedition to view
the damage the flood did, report in

In the little town of Franklin, o.,
which is under martial law, they
were pressed into service under the
emergency regulations prevailing
there and put to work as common
laborers to help clean up the city.
Their first work was to help clean
out the court house cellar and dis
infect Easements and other places
where refuse had accumulated.
Their soft palms and Sunday clothes
did not prevent shovel being
placed in their hands for use, and
in their letters to their folks here
they say there is no place like home.

Fearing Trouble.

For the Apprehension and

MEN ALTERNATE AS GUARDS

The destruction of beds in the
Barron and Anthoston sections last
Thursday night, the banding to-
gether of farmers. to maintain
watch at night over plant beds, and
, the announcement that many farm
ers in several sections of the coun-
ty had divided themselves into
squads in an attempt to capture the
invaders and secure the 81 900 re-
ward offered for their conviction,
are the developments in the tobacco
situation, says the Henderson
Cleaner
The Cleaners correspondent at
Basket stated Wednesday night
that beds had been sown with grass
seed on the farms of George Cheat
ham, Thomas Enochs, William
Green, Floyd Edwards, Lee Basket
and A. II. Harding. Most of the
farmers have been heard to make
the statement that they would not
replant their beds, saying they be-
lieve the agency at work is too pow
! erful to oppose and that any effort
to raise crop this year would be
a waste of energy. On the other
hand comes the report from Heb
bardsville that probably half of the
farmers of that section are making
arrangements replant their beds
and will guard them with their
lives.
The bed of Sam Brooks, of the
Barron country. was visited Tues
day night. Brooks planted his bed
Tuesday afternoon and found We'd
nesday morning that his work had
been to no avail. Robert Jordans
plant bed near Anthoston was also
destroyed Tuesday night.
From several sections of the
county come the reports that farm
ers whose beds have not been visit
ed, intend to keep out the depreda-
tors. Farmers living in the same
neighborhood have entered into an
agreement to alternate on watch,
going on at 6 O'Clock at night and
guarding the beds with guns flung
across their shoulders until
o'clock the next morning. In many
neighborhoods several growers
burned their beds in the same
woods and farmers who have done
this are the ones who have banded
together to maintain vigil.
1t will be five or six weeks before
it will be time 10 draw the plants
from the beds and plant them in
the fields, but the farmers will
stand guard during all this time.
j. Stokes Taylor, general mana
ger of the Henderson county pool,
who has offered a reward of 81, 900
for conviction of the guilty party or
parties, told the Cleaner yesterday
that growers in different parts of
the county had organized into
squads to apprehend the depreda-
tors and will divide the reward
should the parties be caught and
convicted.
Lee Eakins and other prominent
tobacco growers of the Robards sec
tion were in the city Wednesday
consulting attorneys in regard to
the steps to be taken 10 run to
earth those guilty of sowing tobac-
co plant beds with grass seed.
They received advice which they
refused to divulge. but stated they
would make It uncomfortable for
plant bed depredators.

Years Democrats Are In
Complete Control.
sUFFRAGIsTs ON THE SCENE

washington, April The House
of Representatives of the Sixty
third Congress this afternoon re-
elected Speaker Clark. He received
271 votes; James r. Mann, of Hi
nois, Republican, received Ill
votes, and Victor Murdoch, of Kan
sas, Progressive, received eighteen
votes.
Four Progressive Republicans
voted for Representative Cooper, of
Wisconsin. Mr. Cooper voted for
Representative Nelson, of Mime
sofa.
The sixty-third Congress, the first
in many years with the followers OF
Thomas Jefferson in a majority, be-
gan business at noon.
Just as Speaker Clark was drop
ping his gavel in the House, Major
ity Leader Underwood dropped the
tariff revision bill into the hopper
and thereby officially started bus
mess that promises to keep Con-
gress. at work through the Wash
ington dog days" and well into
August.
While the legislators were find
ing their new seats a procession of
woman suffragettes representing
every congressional district in the
United States invaded the Capitol
and presented petitions demanding
a constitutional amendment for
equal suffrage
In the House the days proceed
ings were principally Of organiza-
ton. The reelection of Speaker
Clark was the first business after
about 100 new members had been
sworn in. Most new Senators, how
ever, had been sworn in on inaugu-
ration day.
Vice President Marshall called
the Senate to order and administer
ed the oath to Senators-elect Sher-
man. of Illinois, and Golf, of West
Virginia.
A complete revision of the tariff
law: modification of the nations
currency system; proposals for
Philippine independence: for the
repeal of the Panama canal free toll
provision. and for the immediate
construction of Government-owned
railways in Alaska, are the chief
problems confronting the first ses-
sion of the new Congress.
Summoned by President Wilson
for the express purpose of revising
the tariff, the new Congress faces
extreme pressure from many quar-
ters for early action on the other
subjects named. Whether any of
these other than jhe tariff will be
taken up during the special session
depends upon the progress made
with the tariff revision and the sue
cess that may attend preliminary
work upon general currency re-
form bill.
For the first time in eighteen
years Congress assemblies with both
its branches under control of the
Democrats, and with q Democratic
President to cooperate in shaping
its policies and to approve its acts.
The tariff law to be passed by the
special session that opens to-day
will be the first general Democratic
revision of the revenue laws since
the act of August 81. 1894, known
to history as the Wilson, German
law" and which President Cleve-
land allowed to become a law with
out his signature.
