Especial Frankfort Correspondence

Especial Frankfort Correspondence.)
Frankfort, Ky-Fewer elections in
Kentucky is springing up as one OF
the proposition for the legislature to
handle this spring. 1t is claimed that
the state has an "affliction of cleo
tions," and that the primary, regular
in the course of a year are so many
in number as to be wearisome and
burdensome to the voter and the tax.
payer.
1t is said further that relatively un.
important elections coming with fre-
quency have the tendency to decrease
interest in the really important cleo
tions.
The idea of fewer elections is spon-
sored by George L. Willis, of Shelby
vile. Recently former State Auditor
S. w. Hager, of Owensboro, has be-
come a vigorous advocate of the prop
osition.
Fewer elections would be far bet
ter for the people," says Mr.. Hager.
"The taxpayers would not be put to
the expense they are under the pres
ent system, there would be a smaller
drain on the time and patience of the
voter, and the state would not be con-
tinually in the midst of some cam
paign for a coming election.
by expressing their views in i'm
portant and far reaching matters and
deciding the questions that usually
come up with each general election,
results would be obtained equal with
those we secure now"

DRIVE GERMANS BACK

Three Guns in Battle on the
RaWka River.

Paris, Dec. 2S.-Repulse of German
counter attacks by the allies is the
chief feature emphasized in an official
statement issued here. 1t indicates
that the Germans, replying to the
offensive taken by the French, British
and Belgians, have themselves in turn
made attacks almost along the entire
front.
Petrogad, Dec. 2S.-The German
cruiser Hertha and a German mine
layer have been sunk in the Baltic
sea, according to information received
by the Russian admiralty.
BY FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY.
International News Service Correspondent.
Petrogad, Dec. 28.-Smashing their
way forward through blizzard that
rendered operations by the enemy's
scouting aeroplanes impossible, Rus
sian forces celebrated Christmas day
by driving the Germans out of Rawa
on the Rawka river, and drove them
back six miles to Jezow. For five
days the Germans had been in pos
session of Rawa, part of which stands
on the highest point of a range of
hills between the Pilica and Bzura
rivers.
A sanguinary battle took place on
these heights, but after a conflict of
three hours the Germans were driven
down the western slopes. The Rus
SLAMS took 1900 prisoners and three
guns.
According to the Army Messenger,
this victory at Rawa, while not over
whelming in itself, opens way to
making a breach in the German line
to lessen the pressure that the kai
ser's troops are maintaining against
the Russians on both the Bzura and
Pilica.
'The Russian positions on the
BZura are now secure" it says today.
s'The Rawa heights are of great i'm
portance and dominate the situation
between the Pilica and Bzura. 1t is
fortunate that they were taken at this
time, as the Germans are bringing up
heavy reinforcements.
Germany is apparently drawing up
on her last resources to concentrate
one million men on our western front.
Among prisoners passing through
sional men, Scores wore spectaeles,
showing that men who had been re-
jected early in the war had later been
sent to the front"
Under the caption Austrian Army
Surprise" the Army Messenger dis
cusses the Galacian campaign at some
length.
"The stubborn defense of our Aus
trian opponents in western Galicia has
been the greatest surprise of the
war;" it admits. Beginning with the
battle of Dukla Pass it has shown a
resourcefulness and strength wholly
unexpected in view of the early events
of the war.
Though we won at Dukla, taking
several ammunition wagons and more
than two thousand prisoners, the Aus
trians inflicted severe losses upon US.
They contest bitterly for every foot of
ground"

DUAL PAPERS
DATAFOR COMMISSION
New Federal Trade Boy to Be
Well Equipped.
VIII Have a Large Amount of Valua.
able Information and Specially
Trained Employees.

Washington, Dec. 28.-That immedi-
ately upon the organization of the
new federal trade commission created
by the last session of congress there
will be available for it's use not only
large amount of valuable data, but a
cohesive and efficient body of en-
ployes trained in the specialized kind
of work which the commission will of
necessity carry on, is made evident
by the annual report of Commissioner
Of Corporations Joseph E. Davies,
made public today. This report re-
veals the bureau of corporations to be
very busily engaged in the prepara-
ton of data for the new commission
into which it is to be merged, and to
be rapidly completing investigation on
which it has been engaged, with the
purpose of making the bureau force
available at once for the work of the
commission.
During the past few months, a gen.
eral comprehensive survey has been
made by the bureau of the whole in
dustrial field, with a view to having
Immediately available to the commits
sion, if needed, the general facts of
the processes of manufacture, organi-
zation and dominant financial control
in any line of industry. A large card
index system, showing the directors of
the principal industrial, railroad and
public-utility corporations, insurance
companies, and banks, has also been
completed in line with this purpose.
This preliminary work has revealed
that there are approximately $500
corporations, exclusive of those under
the Jurisdiction of the interstate com
merce commission, which have a capi-
tai stock or bonded and other indebt-
edness amounting to S1,000,000 or
over, and which are engaged in inter
state commerce, in addition to many
smaller corporations which will like
wise come within the jurisdiction of
this commission.

FILIPIN3S REVOLT;
PLOT DISCOVERED
Number of Natives Arrested
When An Anti-American DEM
onStration Is Started.
WARNING SENT TO OFFICIALS
Outbreaks Reported in Several Prov
inces, but Troops Are Ready for
Action-lssue Public Protest
Against New Taxes.

Manila, P. l., Dec. 28.-Eight Fill
pinos have been arrested on the
charge of sedition as a result of an
uprising in Manila and it's environs
Christmas eve. Further arrests are
probable.
From army sources it is learned
that a general warning was sent to
all officers Thursday afternoon an
nouncing that fully 10000 Filipinos in
Manila alone were ready for a con-
certed attack on Fort Santiago, the
Cuartal Espana, the Quartet Infan-
terra and the medical depot. The
military units Immediately were pre-
pared and street patrol was started
at dusk.
Uprising Lacks Leaders.
Constabulary agents who are men,
bers of the secret societies disclosed
the plans for an uprising, thus enab-
ling a force of constabulary and po-
lice to disperse gatherings at Bagum-
bayan, Paco and Navotas, near Mala-
bon. At Caloocan squad of Amer
lean sailors seized chairs when a
force of Filipinos approached a dance
hall in which they were gathered and,
using the chairs as weapons, routed
the natives, of whom a number were
injured.
The uprising evidently was badly
organized and lacked leaders. 1t was
composed for the most part of per-
sons trusting implicitly in the word
of Artemio Ricarte, a revolutionary,
who conducts continual propaganda
fn which nlonn he
was banished by the American au-
thorities some time ago. Ricarte, it
is asserted, advised that the anti
American attempt be made on Christ
mas eve, when the American officers
would be expected to celebrate the
holiday
Reports from the provinces tell of
minor uprisings and occasional viol-
ence, but details from these sections
are lacking. The situation today
from all appearances and according
to official statements is we'll under
control of the military authorities.

Harrison is away on an official visit

Protest Against New Taxes.
The foreign chamber of commerce,
supported by the Filipino body, has
issued a public protest against the
legislatures adoption of amendments
to the internal revenue law imposing
additional taxes. The measure was
introduced on the eve of the Christ
mas recess and was passed without
discussion, and also, 1t is said, with
out giving the merchants an oppor-
tunity to express their opinion re-
garding it.
Representations from the chamber
of commerce regarding the new law,
it is announced, are to go today to
Secretary of War Garrison asking
him to secure President Wilson's in
tervention.

Contract Held In Abeyance.

The question of disposing of the la.
Dor of $50 prisoners in the reforma.
tory, the contract for whose labor now
held by the Hodge-Montgomery Co.,
is still before the State Board OF
Prison Commissioners. The present
contract price is So cents the day for
each prisoner, a total of s552.50 the
day. The Hoge-Montgomery Co. did
not bid, and besides an offer from
Charles Irion for $50 men, the board
has a. bid from a company, represent
ed by A. D. Martin, to take the output
OF a prison-managed chair factory. As
the board has no funds with which to
equip a factory and buy stock, this
was found impracticable.
The Hoge-Montgomery Co. exer-
cised its option for the renewal of an
other contract for 400 men for four
years, and there is said to be a pos
sibility yet that the company will
make a new contract for the $50 men,
although the Prison Commissioners
say the company has made no bid, and
the officers of the company deny that
they are making any overtures. Here
tofore contracts for prison labor have
been let for four years with an op-
tion for four years more, the limit de-
fined by the statutes as it has been
found to induce more satisfactory bid
ding. In anticipation of legislation or
constitutional amendment permit
ting the working of convicts on the
public highways, the commissioners
invited bids for a shorter term this
time.

TROOPS PRAY ON CHRISTMAS
Warriors Locked in Deadly Conflict
in Western Europe Cease Fight
ing for One Hour.

Paris, Dec 28.-For one hour on
Christmas day the warriors of the
nations locked in deadly conflict in
western Europe ceased to fight. Dur
ing that brief interval the clash Of
arms and the boom of artillery was
halted and hundreds of thousands of
soldiers knelt in prayer to the Om-
nipotent.
No armistice was officially de-
clared. 1t was as if mightier mind
than those of the commanders of the
greatest armies on earth had decreed
return of peace, even for so brief a
period.
After the short truce had ended,
however, the mightiest combat in the
history of the world was resumed.
Frenchman, Briton, Belgian and Ger
man-all alike put away the visions
of home that the day had called forth
and took up again the task at hand,
the slaughtering of his fellow man.

Is proposed by Congressman Rainey,
of Illinois, on the heels of the prohi-
bition vote in house of congress. Mr..
Rainey says that increased value of
whisky, due to age, cares for the loss
in evaporation. Should Mr. Rainey
succeed in having the "outage" pro-
vision annulled, it means that Ken
lucky distillers will have to pay about
$5,720,000 more revenue to the federal
government than they have been pay
ing. The Outage" allowance is the
Carlisle act, whereby distillers are al
lowed a maximum leakage consession
of 1875 gallons on every forty-seven gal
Ion barrel as loss during ageing. On
this 1875 gallons, whether more or less
has leaked, the distillers pay no tax.
In the various Kentucky districts dur
ing the last fiscal year 100000 gal
Ions were lost through leakage and
evaporation. Mr.. Rainey would have
distillers pay s1.1O a. gallon for this.
