liable seam;en.'' The demand of An
drew Feruseth, representing the sea-
men. has from the beginning been that
ships Of this character be manned
with liable seamen," trained to- the
launching and handling of lifeboats,
so that in an emergency there might
be two such men at least to every life
boat.
When Will Congress. Act?
Objection that such men would have
to be paid more is the objection made
by the proprietors and stockholders of
ships like the Empress of Ireland, and
this objection has been potent up to
date in killing legislation of this char
acterf The so-called Safety at Sea"
treaty formulated at the London con-
ference dominated by ship owning in
terests, and now In the senate com
mittee, disregards provisions Of safety
which would increase the cost. and by
the smallest fraction reduce the prof
its of the owners of the shipping lines.
That is the answer to these repeated
tragedies OF the ocean.

NARROW ESCAPE
FOR OFFICER
Fired Upon by Three Men Who
Are Attempting to Break
in Store.

Policeman James c. Upton
had rather a narrow escape Sun
day morning when attacked by
three colored men when he sur
prised them attempting to break
into the hardware store of Chen
ault & Orear. Mr.. Upton MOTTO
ed the men on East Main street
acting suspiciously and watched
and saw them climb over the
fence in the rear of the Baumont
Hotel. He then went through
Tabs coal yard where he locat-
ed the men near the back door
of Chenault & Orear's hardware
store. When they saw him one
of the negroes drew a pistol and
began shooting at the officer, the
other two running. Mr.. Upton
also opened fire upon the darkies
but owing to the darkness and
rain his aim was poor and he
does not think any of them were
wounded. There are several
buildings and stables in the rear
of the buildings and the negroes
succeeded in escaping.
Mr.. Upton is one of the best
officers in Mt. Sterling and is al
ways "on the job" He says in
the future after IL o'clock he is
going to carry a repeating shot
gun. His many friends are glad
he escaped without injury.

BECKHAM'S DAY.

The following account of Re-
preventative Owsley Stanley's
speech at West Liberty appear
ed in the Licking Valley Courier:
"The Hon. A. O. Stanley, can
didate for United States Senator,
made speech here yesterday to
an audience of 27o. Mr.. Stanley
made an eloquent address of
more than two hours and re-
viewed his work in Congress as
trust buster and an anti-cor-
poration Representative at
length. A good portion of his
speech was devoted to the denun-
citation of Mr.. Beckham. A large
majority of the Democrats in the
audience was for Mr.. Beckham,
and they Just smiled at his de-
nunciation of their champion.
Applause at reference to Wilson
and Bryan was hearty and spon-
taneous, but that part of his
speech intended to produce an
ovation for Ollie James didn't
get hand clap whats the mat
ter with Ollie?)
Mr.. Stanley is a splendid ora
tor and made a fine speech, but
practically all of his partisans in
the county were present and they
were in hopeless minority.
One lone man in the rear oc-
casionally relieved the situation
by shouting, 'Rah for Stanley
but he was awfully lonesome.
1t was Stanley's appointment,
but Beckham's day.

WILL TEST NEW
COUNTY UNIT LAW

The validity of the IS per cent.
clause in the new county unit
bill, under which local option
campaigns are expected to be or
ganized this fall in this and
other counties in the State, is be-
ing seriously questioned, it is
said, by lawyers who have had
an opportunity to study the
measure. Il
The weak point in the bills le-
gality, it is said, is in the word
ing of the first lines of the first
two sections. The bill reads:
Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky:
Section THAT Section 1854
be repealed and in lieu thereof
the following be enacted as a
substitute therefor"
Then follows the section as it
was proposed to amend it.
Further in the bill appears
Section ? as follows:
Section THAT Section 2557
be repealed and in lieu thereof
the following be enacted as
substitute therefor"
1t will be noted that in neither
the first nor second sections of
the bill is there anything to in
dictate what 1854 or 2557 are
sections of. 1t is, OF course, az
parent that the sections refer to
the Kentucky Statutes, Carrolls
1909 edition, but the point which
the lawyers make is that the
law does not say so, and it is
claimed by those opposed to the
new law that this defect if ever
tested in court will prove fatal.
On the other hand, however,
the "dry" element declares that
the redeeming feature of the
question is that the title of the
bill as it passed stated clearly
that it was a bill to repeal and
re-enact Sections 1854 and 1857
of the Kentucky Statutes. Car
rolls 1909 edition. Whether on
this point or some other it is
pretty generally understood that
a test will be made of the law,
and that the trial of its validity
will be made by Judge ]. H.
Hazelrigg, of Frankfort, and
Judge Lewis Apperson, of Mt.
Sterling.

THE WINNERS IN
DECLAMATORY CONTEST
(By Courtney Horton)


The declamatory contest held
in the High School auditorium
Monday evening was, in every
sense of the word, literary treat
for the large audience assembled.
The young artists showed much
talent and training and every
number was a creditable one.
Never before was such class spir-
it manifested, yells and flying
colors being very much in evil
dence. Rev. ]. S. Wilson, w. G.
Hamilton and R. A .Chiles acted
as judges. They selected Miss
Julia Rodman, a junior class re-
preventative and Mr.. Charles
Smathers, a representative of the
freshman class, as winners. Thus
the hard fought battle falls to
the Juniors and freshmen, al
though the senior representatives
made remarkable speeches and
drew an unusual amount of ap-
plause. Miss Rodman and Mr..
Smathers were trained by Prof.
Jetton and Miss Mary Lock-
ridge.

LARGE CROWD
HEARS STANLEY
Presents His Claims for the
Democratic Nomination for
u. S. Senator.

Con gresham A. O. Stanley
spoke at the Court House here
Saturday to an audience of some
four hundred, in the interest Of
his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for United States
Senator to succeed Hon. w. O..
Bradley. In a few well-chosen
words, he was gracefully intro
duced by Mr.. ]. Coleman Reid,
and after a few preliminary re-
marks LAUGHED out upon his an
swer to Hon. ]. G. w. Beckham's
Elizabethtown speech. Notwith-
standing his assurances that he
would not be personal in his re-
marks, at times he was quite Bit
ter in his denunciation of his op-
ponent. He defended his course
while a member of Con gress up
on all questions affecting the peo-
pie; mentioned his position in the
steel trust investigation and ex-
planned his vote against the Ken
yon-Webb bill, which seeks to
prevent the shipment of whiskey
into local option territory, by
saying that he consciously be-
lieved the law to be unconstitu-
tional. He is a pleasing and elo-
quent speaker and was frequent
ly interrupted by applause. His
friends assert he made great
gains while here. The followers
of Mr.. Beckham, however, are
equally positive in their belief
that the low plain upon which he
has pitched his fight is injuring
him daily and that running on
his opponents alleged dement's is
not a vote-getting platform.
Several out-of-town admirers
were here, including Hon. Ben
Marshall, Collector of Internal
Revenue, Judge A. D. Wells an d
others from the Collectors office
at Lexington; former Warden of
the Penitentiary, Col. Eph Lii
lard and Mr.. Mack Phithian, of
Frankfort; and Mr.. Geo. F. Wy
cof, attorney, Commonwealth
Attorney, A. B. Crutcher, Mr..
Thos. Neaunan, the we'll known
saloonist, representative Wills
and others from Winchester. We
are also informed that several
friends from Powell and Bath
counties were in attendance.

SIC ORE.

Mark Matthews, L. l.. Johnson, AL
Sites and l.. NJ. Kind, of Tonopah,
have secured a two-year lease and
option on the St Ives mine, in Chi
dago district, about twenty-five miles
northwest of Bishop, says the Inyo
Register. The property from which
some of the richest specimens ever
shown here were taken, belongs to
the Lone Star company of Tonopah,
in which w w. Watterson is lead
ing stakeholder. The lessees are be-
ginning work this week. They esti-
mate that $50 tons of ore are on the
dump and 500 tons in sight under
ground
The shaft is down 200 feet, and is
there in a five-foot vein said to aver
age better than $16. At 125 feet,
whence came some very rich rock,
the average of two feet in the south
drift is $14; of the richest three feet,
$25.
A pipe will be laid 100 feet to
bring water from a spring flowing
about an inch. A Tetrault mill will
be installed to work the ore on the
ground It's capacity is about seven
tons daily. The mill, made in Tono
pah, is said TO have proved quite q
success for working on that scale
1t is a stamp proposition. with stamps
of but 100 pounds weight droppine
