MAYsvILLE's HISTORY REVIEWED

Maysville, Ky.-The early history of
MaysVille received reference in an
opinion by Judge Shackleford Miller,
handed down by the court of appeals
at Frankfort, affirming the Mason cir
cut court in the case of the Keystone
Commercial Co. against the City of
Maysville, in which the company was
required to take down a fence OBJ
structing Phister avenue, and the ave
nue. was declared a public way. The
city is located in part on an 800-acre
tract patented to John May in Decem-
Der, 1885, by Patrick Henry, then gov
ernor of Virginia. 1t was then in Fay
cite county, out of which Bourbon was
carved, and later Mason was carved
out of Bourbon. 1t was in Bourbon
county when, on December IL, 1887,
the town of Maysville received its
charter, Daniel Boone being one of
the five trustees. Lots were sold,
and early in the last century the tract
involved in this suit was acquired by
Mike Ryan. 1t is situated on the south
side of Third street, between Sutton
and Maddox.

WOULD TAX THE CHURCH.

Louisville. Ky.-In his annual ad-
dress before the National Association
of Controllers and Accounting Officers
In session here, Samuel M. White,
City Controller of Louisville, president
OF the organization, criticised in no
uncertain terms the practice of ex-
empting church property from taxa
ton. Il fully appreciate the fact that
1t is almost universal custom to ex-
empt all property owned by religious
bodies, not only church buildings, but
schools, infirmaries and other institu-
tions deriving revenue from their pa
irons" he said, "and the prevailing
opinion is that this is the right and
proper course to pursue Owing to
the rapid growth of the majority of
our cities much property now owned
by religious bodies is located on most
valuable sites, often in the heart of
the business district, and, in my opin-
ion, where such property consists of
schools other than public schools, in
hrmaries and institutions operated
upon other than strictly charitable
basis, the same percentage of assess
ment and taxation should apply as to
any other holdings owned by any in
dividual or corporation.

TOWNSEND OF MICHIGAN DE-
cLAREs WILSON INFLUENCES
MEMBERS FOR TARIFF BILL.
SAYS IT MAY BE ACCIDENTAL
Republicans Hold Recent DenuncIation
VIII Force Certain Members to Vote

Deny Being Approached.

Washington, June 9.-Senator Town
send of Michigan threw the lobby COM
mittee into an uproar Friday when he
virtually charged that the methods and
influence used by President Wilson
and the Democrats in forcing con-
gressmen into line on the tariff bill
constituted the nearest approach to
undue influence upon members OF con-
gress" that could be found.
Senator Townsend criticized the
committee for not having asked mem
bers of the senate whether the presi-
dent had sought to influence them, and
declared even though the president had
not intended 1t, his recent denuncia-
ton of Hobbies working in support of
changes In the tariff, would force GER

also Republican, following Senator
Townsend on the witness stand, ex-
pressed the opinion that executives had
had more influence in bills than all the
persons put together who had come to

the president says lobbyists are seek

The senate agreed to extend the
time limit for the lobby investigation 20
days, or until June %. Members OF
the committee doubt whether 1t can
be completed within that time.
Senator Townsend's statements In
relation to President Wilson were not
in the form of charges. He expressly
said he did not charge the president
with using improper methods, but hs
insisted the charges that lobbies exist
ed and the activity OF the president in
support Of free wool and free sugai
amounted to an undue influence
even though he did not use the big

Washington, June mime Of the
most influential men in the United
States senate behind the closed doors
of an executive session Friday after
noon voiced their protest against the
renewal OF the arbitration treaty with
Great Britain that expired June 4.
A similar treaty with France has
been renewed.
They declared that these treaties
tied our hands in every direction
where American interests should be
protected
The Bryan plan for universal peace
was sneered at during the discussion
and charged with being responsible
for the yielding to the demands Of all
foreign governments where American
interests we're at stake.
The senators said 1t was because of
this that the United States was afraid
to enter Mexico and protest its own cit.
liens; that the impression had been
created in Japan that this country
would not stand for its rights and had
led to the dispute over California.
