the biggest opium ring discovered on
the Pacific coast in recent years, is be-
ing broken up by customs agents.
Cities in which agents of the ring
were active were said by federal
officers, to be San Francisco, Seattle,
Portland, Tacoma, Spokane, Butte,
Salt Lake City, Chicago and New
York on this side of the border, and
Victoria and Vancouver in British Col.

Samuels Hailsman of Seattle, who
was ostensibly engaged in the real
estate business and had offices in a re-
putable downtown building there. was
arrested in Honolulu on Feb. Z with q
large quantity of opium in his posses
sion.
Three arrests followed in Portland
Thursday night and customs agents
say now they have a confession-with-
held for the present until other ar
rests have been made-which explains
in full the workings of the ring.
Those arrested were John w. Rog-
ers, alias ]. A. Ralston as he is known
in Seattle; Charles Looey. a promi-
nent Chinese merchant of Seattle, and
a young married woman who gave her
name as Marion Bergman, which the
Seattle customs officers say is an
alias.
AS a sequel Of the arrests q search
was made in Seattle of Looey's Office,
Ralston's room, and the apartments
occupied by the Bergman woman and
her husband, who was ignorant of her
activities. Correspondence and ap-
planes for handling opium were
found.
Looey. the C~hinaman, is accused by
the authorities OF being the directing
agent for the Pacific Northwest. Raj
ston said when arrested:
Tn only a pack horse and the
custom officers said he told the truth.
No figures of the business zone have
been given out, but the amount Of
opium seized when Ralston was arrest
ed on one OF his regular trips is worth
$500. and the trade is sweepingly de.

Washington, March 8. - President
Wilson saw most of the phases that go
with the presidency Thursday. He met
his cabinet for it's first session of Of
fetal standing; received the congratu-
lations of some of the kings and en-
perors of the world, and replied to
them; talked with several men men
toned repeatedly for diplomatic posts;
shook hands with $50 east room visit
ors; was consulted about the legisla-
tive program of the Democratic con-
gress and suited his action to his word
by declining to interest himself in pat
ronage matters until one of his official
family had been seen.
Not so Rushed as Wednesday.
The day lacked some of the rush of
Wednesday, but it was busy enough to
keep the president on the jump most
of the time and to force Secretary Tu-
multy to spend many crowded minutes
out in the corridors of the executive
offices ~disposing of callers at a rapid.
fire rate. Tho president quit work
promptly at 4 o'clock and went for an
automobile ride with Mrs. Wilson.
At night he saw William McCombs,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, and Joseph E. Davies, it's
secretary. Both men have figured
prominently as possible diplomatic APP
pointees. They were closeted with the
president in the White House proper.
Mr.. McCombs arrived first and stayed
but a short time and Mr.. Davies did
not appear until after the White House
dinner was over.
Didn't Discuss Ambassadorship.
Mr.. McCombs said he had not dis
cussed the matter of accepting the am
b~assadorship to France. His visit con
cerned questions of patronage. Friends
who talked with him during the even
ing were all agreed that Mr.. McCombs
would decline the Enthusiastically and
retain the craftsmanship of the Demo
cratic national committee. His health,
however, requires a trip, and whether
or not he takes the proffered position,
he soon will leave for Europe.

VOTERS AT FULTON CAST
BALLOTS FOR DEAD MAN

Hickman. Ky, Aug 2.-While the
remains of Judge H. +. Remley are
being inferred, his friends are at
the polls voting for him.
Judge Remley, who was candi-
date for the nomination as County
Attorney, was killed last night when
his horse plunged over an embank-
ment and fell on it's rider. The
tragedy occurred while Judge REM
ley was on his way home from a
political meeting. He had a large
following of friends. all of whom
declare they will vote for the dead
man out of compliment to him.
AS Judge Remley's name is on
the ballot the votes so cast for him
will be legal. If he should be de-
clared the nominee of his party, it
is expected Governor McCreary will
be called upon to appoint somebody
to make the race Judge Remley
would have made had he lived.
After the funeral of Judge Rem
ley this afternoon at o'clock, the
remains were taken to Columbus.

A FAIR THIS YEAR
IS NOW ASSURED
And Everything Points to
a Great Event.
sept. "a, 25,s26 ANO q
Will Be the Days Embracing
the Fair--Fine Program
Being Arranged.
,pR. l.. .B. BEAN Is IN CHARGE

With characteristic enterprise
and civic pride. DR.. l.. b. Bean, OF
Hartford, has secured the ONO
County Fair grounds and will give a
fair this season of the kind which
formerly made Ohio county famous.
The exhibition will be held four
days-Septemb "a, %, 26 and II.
This is an ideal season of the year
and the date will conflict with no
fair in this section of Kentucky ex-
Sept at Bowling Green-fifty miles
Away. The weather will in all like
li'hood be splendid, and there is no
reason why vast crowds should not
attend. The greensboro Fair oc-
ours Just the week after.
DR.. Bean intends to make this
fair equal If not surpass any former
event of the kind. 1t is quite well
known that Hartford has just about
the prettiest and best arranged fair
grounds in the State. The half-mile
race track is perfect one and any
body can stand flat-footed on any
part of the grounds and see every
sAep a horse takes. There is an
abundance of shade, which overlaps
the grandstand and the whole
grounds, embracing twenty acres,
are splendidly shaped.
DR.. Bean will at once begin work
OF repairing the grandstand, stalls
and other buildings, also the track
will be. gotten in shape, There will
be all kinds of show rings and pre-
miums offered for farm products. A
fine racing program will be arrang-
ed. with generous purses offered.
Novel attractions of various kinds
will be on hand and it will be an
up-to-date affair in every respect.
No pains will be spared to make 1t
the equal of any fair that has been
or will be held in this section of the
State. Let the people of Ohio coun-
'ty get ready. for we are sure going
to have a fair this year and it will
be a memorable and worthy one in
every respect.
1t has been four years the COM
ing fall since the last Ohio County
Fair.
