loose In the courtroom. The hun
dreds awaiting the decision climbed
on chairs and cheered the blind sena-
tor: Hats were thrown in the air and
came down to be thrown up again.
The demonstration lasted 20 minutes
and bailiffs were powerless to stop 1t.
When the noise had quoted down,
Judge Clark finished reading the YER
dict. Senator Gore was standing when
the Judge began to read. At the mo-
mentous words he stepped back as II
dazed and his wife seized him in her
arms ard Rugged him convulsively
Tears sprang from her eyes and sobs
shook her frame.
"The only statement l have to make
is my strengthened belief in the fact
that truth always triumphs."
Mrs. Bond fell backward in her chair
and was attended by her husband. She
and some of her attorneys left the

Plea For Farm Training.

= A strong argument in favor Of teach.
ing agriculture in the rural schools
and defending the normal schools is
advanced by State Rural School Su.
pervisors T. J. Coates and F. c. Button
and State High School Supervisor Nc
Henry Rhoads, who joined in state
ment to the press. They declare that
the ''soil of Kentucky is being depleted
by unwise systems of cultivation, and
the yield of her acres is far below
what it should be. 1t is an economic
necessity that agriculture should be
taught in the schools in order to con-
serve the fertility of the soil and to
increase the yield. Some may say
these things will come about without
the schools They will come about
much faster if the children are trained
properly.
1t is an economic necessity because
the people. of the cities are vitality in
terested in reducing the high cost of
living. To bring this about the farm
ers must produce more and market
better. knowledge of better methods
will help the farmers.
ut is an economic necessity in order
to keep more of our bright boys on
the farm. This can be done only by
the right kind of education. Our
schools now are training the children
away from the farm"

DIVORCE TO MACKAYs
FRENCH COURT GRANTS AMERi,
CANS DECREE.
AmIeab4e Agreement Of Separation
Reached About Christmas-Troubie
Revealed by Mrs. Blake.

New York, Feb. 2o-The announce
ment was made here on wednesday
that Clarence Mackay, telegraph mag
nate, has obtained French decree OF
divorce in Paris.
1t is understood that the decree
gives both parties the right to re-
marry.
John B. stanchfield, speaking for
Mrs. Mackay, said:
Everything was settled amicably.
Mrs. Mackay sailed quietly shortly be-
fore Christmas and Mr. Mackay fol
lowed her abroad on January s.
don't know whether there was any
financial settlement or agreement,
and l have no details relative to ali
mony. Mr.. Mackay was in court rep
resented by the firm of Coudert
Freres of Paris. l do not recall the
name of the French lawyer who rep
resented Mrs. Mackay."
Though there have for years been
rumors of a lack of harmony in the
Mackay household, there is no doubt
that the divorce is due directly to the
million-dollar alienation suit brought
by the wife of the Mackays' physician,
DR.. Joseph A. Blake, against Mrs.
Mackay in the summer of 1913.
There had been some trouble be-
fore that, and when in February,
1913, the Mackays united in signing a
deed putting in trust an estate of So
100000 for their son it was said that
they were planning to separate. This
was holly denied.
But the breach in both families
caused by this suit was past mending.
Mrs. Blake was divorced last month
with an alimony allowance of $4,000
year.
Mrs. Mackay was Miss Katherine
Duer of New York. She was one of
the earliest converts to the suffragist
cause.

Stubborn Fight on Glenn Bill.

Because of the desire of those
back of the movement to en-
large the powers of the state rat
ing board whereby it may fix fire in
surance rates in Kentucky to substi-
zute for the Glenn Bill in the senate
&he bill of Representative Greene, of
Carroll, that passed the house, action
on the Glenn measure was postponed
in the upper branch of the general as
.sembly. Eighty-four fire insurance
companies doing business in Kentucky
have notified their special agents to
stop cancellation of policies for re-
newal pur oses, on the ground that
the practice would impede the fight
on the pc ding rating bill. Withdraw
al of the companies from the state in
the event of the passage of the rating
bill, it is pointed out, would be in
effective should the practice be con-
1inued. 1t is said that concert of ac-
-aion was decided upon at conference
of managers held in Chicago.

zConvicts Leaving On Parole.

State Parole Agent Henry Cox met
with 257 convicts in the chapel of the
Eeformatory to discuss their parole.
These are the men who are entitled to
go out as soon as they are provided

them will be scattered through differ

said the men will be paroled as fast
as they can be provided with employ
ment One benefit from the exodus
as he sees it is doing away with the

Frankfort.-House Bill No. 317, re-
fused first reading and a place in the
calendar proves to contain more merit
than at first understood, and it is like
Jy to be made vital issue in the near
future. The bill authorizes the gov
ernor, attorney general and chairman
of the state railroad commission to
appoint an engineer and expert ac-
ocountant to assist in taking the ply
steal valuation of railroads in Ken
lucky in conjunction with the inter
state commerce commission.
Chairman Laurence Finn has just
brought the bill to the attention of
Gov. McCreary. There is no one con-
nected with the railroad commission
who has either the time or the knowl-
edge to do this work" said Chairman
Finn. "The physical valuation of rail-
roads made by the interstate COM
merce commission will be the future
basis for rate making and taxation,
and possibly the basis for the purchase
of the companies property by the gov
eminent, if such a purc.s2se is under
taken by the national government.
The valuation placed on railroad prop
erty in Kentucky in the matter of
freight rates and taxation means mil
lions of dollars to the commonwealth
and to the people for all time to come.
I can think of nothing of more mate
rial Importance than that the valua-
zion is rightly made"
Gov. McCreary asked Mr.. Finn to
put his argument in writing, and he
may become sponsor for the bill.
