Honesty Is to Be Cues
toned

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 26.-Rep-
ersentative Frank C. Greene, of Car

House to-day when he charged that
certain House committees had been
appointed for the purpose of throttl-
ing the will of the people of the State
at large and that certain known lobby
lists and politicians had a hand in the
makeup of various committees. This,
he said, he considered dishonest, ex-
planning that hem a.de the statement
after due consideration. He said he
would rather suffer suspension than
take bacg any part of his statement.
Representative Walton, of Lexing-
ton, asked Mr.. Greene if he was in
a position to prove his charges, and
the latter replied that he was willing
to cite the specific instances to which
he referred to the House lobby
probe" committee, of which Mr.. Wal
ton is a member, or he would give the
information to the public.
The charges of Mr. Greene were
made during a debate on whether his
bill looking to the abolition of the
State Fish and Game Commission
should be given a second reading and
placed in the House calendar despite
an adverse report on the measure by
the House Committee on Fish and
Game.
R. B. Htchcraft, of Bourbon
county, member of the Fish and
Game Committee, asked Mr.. Greene
whether he meant to reflect upon his
honesty, and Mr. Greene replied in

saloon keeper, who shot and wounded
Reuben Henderson, a negro, from the
effects of which he died at the St. Jo-
seph' Hospital, in Lexington, yester-
day morning, was arrested yesterday

was committed to Jail. He was taken
into custody at his home on Tenth
street.
The warrant against Curtis was
sworn to at the instance of County
Attorney George Batterton, after he
had received the information of the
death of Henderson. The warrant

Moreland, who served the former war
rant against Curtis charging him
with shooting and wounding with in
tent to kill. The previous warrant
will be dismissed and he will be tried

der treatment since the shooting.
The trouble, which resulted in Hen
