NO REPORT YET FROM \ HICKEY COURTMARTIAL
BELIEVED THAT THERE WILL BE NO RECOMMENDATION
 OF REINSTATEMENT.

Little Rock, July 19.-Though it ha. been over a week since the courtmar- tial met in Fordyce to hear evidence relative to the dismissal of Capt. L. D. Hickey, formerly captain of the Jones' boro company, from the Arkansas State Guard, no report has yet been filed with the governor. The members of the court of inquiry are under oath not to divulge the, contents of their report, but it is intimated there will be no recommendation that Capt. Hickey be reinstated.
 It is stated that the evidence at the hearing was of such a nature that the members of the guard who were sup ,SDosed to participate in a race riot at Fordyce when the guard was en route the encampment may be exonerated. A negro who was supposed to be stabbed, admitted that he had bottle of whis- key in his pocket, and when he was knocked down, this was broken and . piece of the glass might have cut him. Other negroes gave conflicting testi- mony, differing much from that told by them at the time of the first hear ing. Some evidence was given which gave some reason for the belief that town boys, much as soldiers, were interested in the fracas.
 Hickey is censured for his language addressed to the officials who sought to arrest his company. He also took his company to church, heavily armed with bayonets on their guns, which is in strict violation of the rules of the United States army.

ATTENTION DEMOCRATS.


Before you vote, read the report of
the Grand Jury of Bourbon County:
Your grand jury has made thor
ough investigation of the condition of
the public roads of the county, and
have very serious fault to find with
the manner in which it is kept, the
results received for the amount of
money expended and the general
handling of the countys business in
this regard. We have examined a
number of witnesses and from our per-
sonal knowledge find that a large per
cent. of our turnpikes are in a deplor-
able condition. Some of these have
had practically no repairs made upon
them for the past two or three years.
1--WE have compared our turnpikes
with the turnpikes of other counties
having practically the same road fund
per mile available and find that the
fiscal courts and supervisors of these
counties have been able to keep their
roads in satisfactory condition and
that their condition is strong evidence
that there is something greatly at
fault with the manner in which the
money of our county is expended and
the work done upon the roads. We
are thoroughly convinced from the
evidence at hand that these conditions
are caused by the neglect of the Fis-
cal Court and Road Supervisors. We
find that practically no attention is
given to the condition of the roads or
to the manner of their up-keep by the
Fiscal Court or the Road Supervisors.
again we find that some of the
roads of the county have been shown
preference over other roads in the
county in regard to- the amount of
money expended for their up-keep and
repair. We find no justifable reason
for this. We find that the Road SUI
/ pervisors give a very small part of
their time and practically no personal
supervision to the work on the roads
1--WE have asked for a report from
the Supervisors some days ago, show.
ing the amount of money expended
upon each road of the county, but
we have been unable to get in time
to embody it in this, our final report
We recommend that in the future
the Road Supervisors be required tC
give their full time and personal at
tention to their Offices and to the care
of our roads so that the taxpayers o.
our county may be assured that full
value is received for the money eX
pended from the road fund.
"In justice to the taxpayers of oul
county we respectfully ask that thi:
report be fully published in a promi
nent place in our county newspapers
and also that the report of the Super
visors in regard to the amount o
| Id onI in a
county be also published when it fin
ally appears"
Every Democrat of Bourbon County
before he decides how to cast his vote
next Saturday and before he endorses
Judge Dundon's administration should
carefully reflect upon the report o.
the Grand Jury of Bourbon County

WOULD BE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Hon. Thomas d. Slattery, of Mays
vile, is an APPLICANT for the position Of
United States District Attorney for the
Eastern District of Kentucky, and the
indications at present are that he will
receive the appointment.
Hon. Charlton B. Thompson, of Gov
ington, was originally slated for the ap
pointment to this position, but later
was appointed Collector of the Sixth
District, and Mr. Siattery Immediately
fled his application for the District
Administration.
liz the short time intervening since
Mr. Thompson's appointment and con-
firmation, Mr.. SIattery has received
almost the unanimous Endorsement OF
the bars of the Ninth District and
has been strongly Endorsed by eminent
lawyers and leading politicians
throughout the State, and by members
of the Court of Appeals and the State
Administsrsastion.
| Mr. Slattery is recognized as one OF
/ the leaders Of the Mason County Bar,
one of the strongest in the State, and
! his qualifications for the Office are I'M
questioned.
Many of his friends have been urg-
ing him to make the race from the
Ninth District, but he prefers a posi-.
| ton in the line of his profession and
Judging fom the enthusiastic support
his candidacy is receiving from the
Bench and Bar and political leaders
alike, his appointment is assured.

Slattery, of this city, and is wei
known in Paris, where, he frequently

RAISE LICENSE TAX
AND INCREASE FINES,
SUGGESTS HARDING
Use Extra License Money
to Put on Larger Motor
cycle Police Squad
in the City

There is no doubt but what some
thing will have to be done about this
automobile speeding" said President
w. P. G. Harding of the Chamber of
Commerce, when asked for an opinion
1T is actually dangerous to cross the
streets in some of the residence dis
tricts. The only practical solution that
see is to maintain a large enough mos
torcycle squad of police to keep a con-
stant watch.
II should think it would be a good
idea to raise the license for automo-
biles and then when the next legislature
meets have the law changed so that the
city would get larger per cent of it,
the city to take this extra money an.
use it toward employing a larger mo-
torcycle squad. OF course the speeders
operate almost exclusively outside of
the business district where there are
few policemen and the only way to
handle them that 1 can see is a large
and efficient motorcycle squad.
The next step Is then to give them
such fines when they are arrested that
they will feel it. If necessary, L should
think the law should be amended so as
to allow the recorder to assess bigger
fines. The majority of automobile
speeders are wealthy. OF course there
are many who are not, but 1 say the
most of them are. Now a man with a
lot of money don't care if his chauffeur
is arrested for speeding and he is
fined $40 or SIS, The law should be
so that man like this would have to
pay large enough fine to make him
vince and after that he would be care
full" y

'And because during those years l hap

Such things as the true university and

SAYSF. M. JACKSON
Should Ask for Commissions
as Officers Because Regu-
lar Police Cannot Cover
so Much Territory

There is no cause for so many avoid
able accidents in which so many per-
sons have been seriously injured dur
ing the past week. said f. NJ. jackson,
president of the jefferson County Build
ing and Loan association and d pri-
vate citizen, recently appointed special
officer by Commissioners Lane to arrest
speeders.
ut is deplorable and distressing to
think that owners of automobiles and
their chauffeurs drive their machines
through the streets at a rate of speed
much higher than that fixed by the law.
I can only say that 1t is recklessness
on the part of the drivers.
I'm my opinion the only way to stop
fast driving is for the citizens to take
an active interest in the situation. II
25 or 80 citizens would request Com
missioner Lane to appoint them spe-
cial officers for the purpose of catch
ing violators of the speed ordinances
the speed craze would soon be thing
of the past or 1t would at least be
stopped.
Birmingham has not enough police
to watch the many automobiles run
ming in all directions of the city at all
hours of the day and night. Therefore
think 1t is me duty of private cit
liens to take the matter into their own
hands.
"On numerous occasions L have at
tempted to catch drivers of automo biles
who We're running their cars at be-
tween 40 and SO miles an hour. In al.
most every instance I have never been
able to get a glimpse Of the number
of the car, so fast was the machine go.

penalty of their disobedience''
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-31
GIVE THEM JAIL AND
HARD LABOR SENTENCES

Judge II. B. Abernethy: THE way to
stop speeding is to impose jail or hard
labor sentence. 1t has been proven that
the imposition of a fine does not even
diminish the evil.
Il believe that for the first offense,
fine should be imposed, but for the
second offense the violators should be
imprisoned.
by the time you have put few own
ers of automobiles on the county roads
for this offense there would be but lit
tie speeding. 1t is not always the negro
chauffeurs who violate the law; the
white chauffeurs and owners are equally
guilty and should be punished accordingly
81 am also of the opinion that the fact
that the owners of the cars generally
have an insurance policy to protect them
in case of accident either to the car or
the public tends to make them reckless
and would suggest the cancellation OF
the insurance policy in the event of a
conviction for speeding"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-31
WOULD PROHIBIT AUTOS
IN COUNTRY AFTER DARK

Chappell Cory: 1.-THE driving of auto
mobiles outside the city limits after dark
ought to be prohibited. 1t is impossible
for any one to drive a horse along any
of the roads leading into the city when
darkness has set in, for the bright and
glaring headlights are more than the
average horse can stand.
"Then again the automobilists show alb
soutey no regard for the drivers of horse
vehicles, neither as to observing the rules
of the road or of the rate of speed allowed
by law. / want to say further that 1t
is not always the Joy rider that is guilty
of these practices, nor the negro chauf-
feurs, but in large number of cases
that have come to my notice it is the
owners themselves"

PROMINENT CITIZENS SUGGEST
REMEDIES TO STOP THE SPEEDERS

Walter Moore said: II think the reek-
less driving in Birmingham and its sub
urbs is the most inexeusable violation of
law and rights that can imagine.
'If all the people of this city felt as
do about these joy parties, we would es-
tablish shotgun method of protection.
I have no criticism of joy riders them
selves, as that is personal right. and l
am opposed to robbing anyone of rights,
yet the pedestrians of this community
have rights also, and 1 am against such
recklessness as witness every day.
'I believe the commission by its alleged
economies and It's inefficient manage
ment of our affairs is partly responsible
for the disregard of law and order in this
community. Someone must wave the red
flag and save the pedestrians, as we have
no officers who will perform that serv-
ice"
