The action of the committee fol.

DEMONSTRATION
DRAMATICALLY.
0RGAN|z zED
SYLVIA PANkHURST AGAIN AR.
RESTED WHILE ON WAY TO
SEE FRIME MINISTER.
BORNE IN A LITTER BY -FOUR MEN

LONDON, June 1O.-Miss Sylvia
Pankhurst was not even permitted to
approach Westminster tonight to in
terview Premier Asquith.
The proposed visit to the prime
minister was arranged some days ago
by Miss Pankhurst and other militant
leaders, and it was decided that she
should be carried shoulder high in the
procession, as she was not considered
strong enough to bear the strain of
what promised to be an arduous Jour-
ney.
Before the procession had gone a
mile Miss Pankhurst was arrested for
the eighth time since she was SEN
fenced to six months Imprisonment
for melting riot in Hyde park and
conveyed to Holloway Jail.
The procession struggled on with
out leader, but by the time it
reached the Strand it had been dis
persed by police.
Under the leadership Of George
Lansbury, former socialist member
of the house of commons, a deputa-
tion Of women proceeded to parlia-
ment, where they were received by
F. S. Illingsworth, the chief liberal
whip, after having been rebuffed in
all attempts to see the premier.
The demonstration was organized
with all the cleverness of the suf-
fragettes for dramatic effect. A crowd
of 10000 people gathered at o'clock
at the junction of Commercial road
and High street, White Chapel, where
two professions were to join about
the same hour.
Suddenly from an upper window
Of the house where Miss Pankhurst
resided appeared the surpliced figure
of the Rev. Mr.. Wills, and Sylvia
Pankhurst by his side, looking i'll and
careworn. The clergyman addressed
the waiting crowd, begged the people
to keep order, and offered a prayer,
invoking divine protection for the
militant leader.
Miss Pankhurst also addressed the
crowd to the effect that it might be
the last time she would have such a
privilege.
"But if I sacrifice my life in this
cause, it will not have been in vain,
if l carry on the fight in the same
spirit.
The procession then formed, head
ed by Mr. Wills, Miss Pankhurst be-
ing borne in litter by four stalwart
carriers.
The crowds grew steadily, but the
police had carefully laid their plans,
and when the procession had arrived
at point where the narrow road and
the t1amway traffic compelled it to
divide, sharp command was given.
The streets were quickly cordoned by
police and before her supporters knew
what had happened Sylvia Pankhurst
was under arrest and was being
whisked away in taxicab, followed
by few shrieking women.
Disheartened at the loss of their
leader, the women reformed their
ranks, but made slow progress. A body
of students attempted to interfere
with them and create disturbances,
but were foiled by police, who arrived
in such number all along the route
that they were as numerous as those
in the procession.

KENTUCKY LAD
Loses His Sight and Reason
as Result of ChumS'
Franks.

Frankfort, KY, Sept, 25. -O'Rear
Eversole, u years old, was adjudged
insane and sent to the State Hospital
at Lexington, KY, as a result of the
childish pranks of his chums two
years ago who had seen Indians in a
picture show burn their victim at
the stake. In reproducing the play
the Eeersole lad was tied to tree in
the old State House yard and leaves
were set afre around him. AS his
companions held a war dance around
the tree the flames crept nearer to
young Eversole than they intended,
and burned him badly. He first lost
his eyesight and then his mind as a
result of the tragedy.

COUNCIL HAS RIGHT TO
CONTROL The CITY FUNDS
Lawmakers of Ludlow Did Not
OverStep Their Authority
In Selecting Depository.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. U.s. James
A. SteI hens, City Treasurer of Lud
low, in a suit against the Common
Council of that city, which is of the
Fourth class, attempted to eDjoin rhe
Council from enforcing an ordinance
providing that bids should be taken
from competing banks for the privi-
lege of handling the city funds.
Stephens contended that as the aw
makes him responsible on his bond
for the safety of the funds he, and
not the Council, should be permitted
to select the city depository. The
Kenton Circuit Court refused him an
ii junction, and the Court Of Appeals.
in an opinion by Judge Carroll, af.
firmed it.
The court held that. inasmuch as
the city charter does not specifically
deprive the Council of control over
the funds, it retains the right to
designate the depository and require
interest to be paid on the daily bal
ances.

twenty-five years reports some of
his experience in life. In the follow

pass from youth to middle age:
"To me the passing of youth was
escaping from a torment of passion,
strife and trouble into placid content.
My griefs and joys grew less violent,
ceased hitting those who had wrong
ed me and, in lesser degree, grew
calmer in my attachment. Undis-
turbed by passions, | found / could

RAILROAD RUM0R.
Reported That L. & N. Is To
Adopt New System. I

According to reports coming from
unofficial, but reliable sources, the
Louisville & Nashville railroad is to
inaugurate over all its lines the
white System" of train auditing.
The report says the service is to start
on October l.
The white System" is now in use
on several roads in this country and
is used to keep check on passenger
conductors to see that all tickets and
cash fares are collected, and that no
passengers ride without proper trans
portation. With it in vogue experts
board the trains without notice; af-
ter they have started on their trip
they take over the conductors cash
fare stubs. tickets and passes, and
then check up the passengers to see
that none are on board who have not
paid fares or have passes. If every
thing is all right the conductor re-
ceives an o. K. report, otherwise a.
report is made to the general offices
of the company. After auditing a
conductors tickets and records these
experts leave the train at the first
convenient station to board some
other train.
The l.. & Ms passenger conduct
ors have had no intimation of the in
auguration of this system, and this
announcement was a surprise to
many of them.

A New Gas Bomb.

A remarkable tale illustrative of
wsr,ime gossip comes from Peri, of
the invention by a French scientist
of a gas bomb which kills every living
thing within 300 yards from the
point where il bursts. The story
goes that The French are prepared to
make use of the rev invention if the
Germans continue to use the dumdum
bullet and sawtooth bsyonet. which,
it is alleged. they employ freely.
1t is declared that the bomb was
tried on 80 sheep. 1t burst 200 feet
away. eut all the animals succumbed
to the deadly gas.

taken from his current story appear
two samples of hobo slang: WAS
it rap or just pick-up?' be asked

accusation is rap A pickup is
an arrest merely on suspicion for
purposes Of inve ,tigation. and with

Graft.

The surrender of the fortress at
Namur astonished the world, be-
cause it was calculated that they
would retard the German army for
several weeks. The French govern
ment has made an investigation now
and has discovered that the reason
they were so soon demolished was
that graft was present in their con-
struction.
The materials were poor and the
specifications were not carried out.
The concrete was so poor that in one
instance a single shell demolished an
entire turret, and in other respects
the plans of the engineers had been
sighted and insufiicently carried out.
The same thing was shown when
we went to war with Spain. only in
a greater degree. The Spanish fleet
was insufficieDtly served and the am
was. in all cases, bad.
If Germany's force was over
trained there was at least honesty in
all their transactions. The artillery
and the great guns were we'll con-
5tructed. Germany gets what she
pays for. In this she sets an ex-
ample to all nations. The only trou-
Bile, perhaps, was that she got too
much. Henderson Journal.

Is Appointed On Recommended
ton Of The State Com
mission.
TWO LADY MEMBERS NAMED
DR.. J. E. Stone Heads The Com
mission and Board Is a
Strong One.

From a list of thirty nominations
for the Christian County Board of
tuberculosis Hospital Trustees SUBJ
mitted to Judge Walter Knight by
the tuberculosis Commission, the
Judge has appointed the following:
DR.. j. E. Stone. for years.
Mr.. James West, for years.
Miss Katie Mcdaniel. for years.
Mr.. Thos. Jones, for years.
Rev. H D. Smith, for 8 years.
Mr.. Tom F. Clardy. for 2 years.
Mrs. Frank Yost, for 2 years.
1t will be the duty of this Board
to select the site for the proposed
hospital in cooperation with the State
Commission, and to supervise its
construction and maintenance out of
the appropriations made therefor by
the Fiscal Court. An appropriation
sufficient to purchase the site from
this years tax levy will be available
in December.
The composition of this Board of
Trustees is such as to commend itself
to the people of the county. and
guarantee the honest and efficient
conduct Of the hospital.
In 1913, there were l52 deaths
from various forms of tuberculosis
in Christian county. In 1912, the
was 1874. The need for the
hospital is further shown from the
fact that last year, as in the year be-
fore, the death rate from consunp-
ton in Christian county was nearly |
twice as much as for the State on an
average; and the death rate for the
State is the highest in the whole
country.
