'ASSASsINATED BY
"SOOTLEGGERS

Robert T. Thurman, a policeman of
Glasgow, was murdered between IL
and 1 o'clock Saturday morning on
West Main Street, and one-half block
from the Court Square.
More than one year ago bootleg.
ging" became so open in Glasgow
that something had to be done. Ac-
cordingly, the City Council of Glas-
gov, headed by the Mayor, met and
employed Mr.. Thurman, with the I'M
derstanding that he would try to ar
rest every violator Of the law. He
was stranger there, and therefore
could have no favorites, and within a
few weeks he had arrested and con
victed twenty-five persons.
This, of course, made him many
enemies, and the threats were fire.
quently heard that they would kill
him. Interested persons offered him
large sums of money to leave, but
these he refused and stayed at his
post of duty.

ule will not be maintained on the

starting point from the rear OF tne
Court House and out to the Bethie
hem pike on the five cent rare, ant
the ueople had become so accustomet
TO this arrangement that many homes
were built in the suburbs on thu
strength of the five cent car rare.
The return to the old schedule wa
made possible after conference III

of this city, died at his home on

four o'clock
Mr.. Foote had been in declining
health for a number of years, but had
always been able to be up and attend
ing to the duties of his boat landing
and poultry interests, which took up
all of his time. He was home lover
in every sense of the word, and had
for somt time led a rather secluded
life in the quiet of his home. He was
an ardent sportsman, and being of a
jovial disposition was one of the most
companiOnable of men.
Mr.. Foote was an accomplished VIC
linist, and in his younger days was
the leader of an orchestra composed
of the best musical talent in this city.
Their services were in constant de-
mand, especially at the old-time dane
es, and there's many a sad heart in
Paris to-day among those who remem.
Der the pleasure they experienced in
dancing the hours away to the witch
ing strains of Mr.. Foote'S violin.
There are others who did not know
him in this capacity but who remem
Der with pleasure the jolly fishing
| trips in which Mr. Foote was the life
of the party. He always had a fund
of good stories, and his hearty laugh
was Infectious, He was quite unas
Stunning, but a good friend and lover
of Nature, and whatever faults he had
these virtues are sufficient to offset
them.
Mr.. Foote was 50 years old last
May. He is survived by his wife
Mrs. Laura Foote, one daughter, Miss
Ettavieve Foote, of Paris, one son
Mr.. Elmer Foote, of Lexington, and
two step-sons, Mr.. Willard Hutchin

M. [. CONFERENCE REPORT SAYS MANDY
 INTEREST NOTHING
Suggest That New TheOl0g- ical School and University Be EstabIished-MinOr-
 ity Report Differs

Oklahoma City. Okla, May 15 Whether the Methodist Episcopal church, south, will turn back to the original eight patronizing conferences whatever interest the church retains in Vanderbilt university and establish another educational institution or con tinue in efforts to execrise control over Vanderbilt, will probably be determined next week by the general conference of the church, in session here.
 Both suggestions were made 10 the conference today in reports submitted by the committee which investigated lthe status of Vanderbilt university in its relation to the church in view of a recent decision of the Tennessee su- preme court. The majority of the com mittee held that the interest now is negligible and suggests that new theological school and university be established. A minority report urged that the church continue to exercise its rights and calls upon board of trust to assist in efforts to bring about a more cordial relation between the school and church.
 , Special Order Tomorrow
 Proposal was made that the matter be made a special order for tomorrow, but before action could be taken the confer ence adjourned for the day. Arrange ments will probably be made tomorrow to take up the reports either Monday or Tuesday of next week.
