Sent to Leaders.

The appeal went forward today to
Carranza and Villa and to more than
a score of other military and political
leaders throughout Mexico. AS re-
plies are asked for within ten days
after the appeal is received, no fur
ther meeting of the PanlAmerican
conference is planned until they have
been received or it may be apparent
that some of the Mexicans addressed
do not propose to reply.
The conferees confidently expect
within a reasonable time enough ia
vorable replies to warrant them in ex-
tending their aid to arrange for the
proposed peace congress.
Carranza's attitude still is matter
of speculation here Although his po-
sition thus far has been regarded as
defiant, it is hoped the friendly tone
of the appeal may lead him to open

negotiations with the conferees. 1t
generally is believed he will reply by
making counterproposals of some
sort.
Should Carranza make no reply
whatever, it is expected the conferees
will accept the invitation of other fac
tions to arrange details for a peace
conference without his participation.
In support of government not rep
resenting all of the factions probably
it would become necessary to extend
the plans of the Pan-American confer
ence. An embargo on arms against
forces which might oppose the new
government probably would be the
first step.

BANKERS PROMISE HELP
FOR GRADUAL MARKETING
Conference of Southern Financiers De-
EelOps Pledges of Aid to Meet
Complication Of Situation.

Galveston, Aug. 14.-Representative
bankers from eight cotton. growing
States today pledged themselves to
stand solidly behind the producers in
an effort to secure fair and uniform
price for cotton, and in this they
pledged the support of the four South
ern, federal reserve banks.
The means by which it is proposed
the perpetuation of the Cotton States
Bankers conference, tie next meet
Ing of which will be called for Novem-
Der or December. Joseph Hirsch Of
Corpus Christi, Texas, president of the
Texas State Bankers association, pro-
posed the conference held today.
The meass by which it is proposed
to secure to the producers fair price
for TER staple is the gradual market
ling of cotton. The bankers agreed to
advance money to the farmers on cot
Ion securities and the federal bank
representatives agreed to rediscount
this paper. Thus t-ey hope to offer
no more cotton than the market will
Instantly absorb. The purpose of such
graduated marketing is not specula-
tive, It is pointed out, but for the ben
eft Of the producers.
In the meeting today presidents of
five State bankers associations, repre-
sentati1es of three federal reserve
banks, and numerous prominent clear
ing l-ouse representatives took part.
Jnanimity of opinion marked the dis
,cussion and the opinion of the bank
ers, as expressed, was that the fnan-
cial South is solidly behind them.
There were 72 bankers present.
That tie federal reserve banks are
in sympathy with the movement was
Indicated by the interest shown by W.
P. G. Harding, chairman Of the fed
eral reserve board In a telegram to
Mr.. Hirsch, Mr.. Harding expressed a
willingness to meet with a committee
of Southern bankers in Birmingham
on August 25. Pursuant to this eX-
preston, a committee is composed OF
one representatives from each State,
and nearly all the members are presi-
dents of their respective State bank
'ers' associations.
The formation of an association OF
Southers bankers had been one of the
plans of the leaders in calling the
meeting held here today, but after the
delegates arrived it was decided to
abandon this plan.

MUZZLE THE DOGS.

Reports from the State Bacteriolog-
ical Laboratory show that rabies is
unusually prevalent at the present
time. Four persons have died from
hydrophobia in the last three months,
two in Trigg, one in Owen and one in
Caldwell counties. Either one of
these four persons was worth more
than all the dogs in the State of Ken
lucky. The dog population of the
State is innumerable, and many hun
dreds are stray and homeless creatures.
These are the dangerous ones, and
ought to be killed without ceremony.
Half wild and usually ravenous for
food they readily attack pets, domeS-
tic animals and human beings, and
these spread the dread malady, rabies,
very rapidly. The surest way TO
stamp out the epidemic is to prevent
the dogs from biting, and this can on
ly be accomplished by muzzling. Own
ers of dogs owe it to their neighbors,
and to themselves to see that their
dogs if permitted to run at large are
muzzled, and combined effort should
be made to kill the homeless dogs. A
relentless war ought to be waged by
every one against these homeless and
worthless members of the canine fam
lily. Don't speak of dog having n.y.
drOphobia, they never do. Hydropho-
bia means dread of water, and rabid
dog never breads water. He will rush
into stream of water and lap it up to
the last moment of his life. We have
ordinances in our town against the
running at large of horses, cattle and
hogs, and it is far more important to
pen up the dogs. 1 am not opposed to
the stock law, for voted for it, but
if l had to vote in favor of one or the
other, would vote TO turn the cows
loose, and restrain the dogs.
