Paris.-zeppelin airships raided
Paris and vicinity and dropped half
a hundred bombs, but the damage
done was unimportant Seven or eight
persons were injured, but only one
seriously. Several of the aircraft
started for the capital, following the
Valley of the Disc, but only two
reached their goal. Missiles also were
dropped at Compiegne, Ribecourt and
Dreslincourt, but without serious re-
suit. Paris remained calm while the
aerial invasion was in progress and
residents of the city exhibited more
curiosity than fear as to the result
Trumpets gave the signal that all
lights must be extinguished as soon
as warning was received of the Zeppe-
Inns approach. Searchlights were
turned upon the clouds, antiaircraft,
guns opened fire and aeroplanes rose
to attack the Germans, but their op-
erations were, hampered by a heavy
mist.
British Steamer Torpedoed.
London.-The British steamer Cairn-
torr was torpedoed off Beachy Head
in the English Channel, and sank, ac-
cording to a Central News dispatch
from Eastbourne. Her crew escaped.
When the steamer was struck rescue
boats put out to her and attempted
to town her into port. She sank eight
miles out, however. The Cairntorr
was bound from New Castle for Genoa
with coal. The Cairntorr was a ves-
sci of 2,293 tons and was built in Sun
derland in 1904. She was owned by
the Cairnn Line of New Castle.
Shots Stop German Steamer.
San Juan, Porto Rico.-The German
merchant steamer Odenwald, which
attempted to leave port without OBJ
tanning clearance papers, was stopped
as she was passing out the entrance
to the harbor by two shots across her
bow from a fiveinch gun and direct
shots from a machine gun. She then
turned and was taken in charge by
the American Collector of Customs.
Permission TO sail was refused the
Odenwald by the Collector, pending
instruction from Washington. The
steamer has been at San Juan since
August. She was bound for Euro
pean ports from the West Indies with
freight and passengers, and sought
refuge here.

Governor Without Knowing It.

Governor Without Knowing II.
State Senator M. o. Scott, of Ed
monson, president pro tenn of the Sen
ate, was governor for about two hours,
but probably unaware of the distinc-
tion. Both Gov. McCreary and Lieut.
Gov. McDermott were out of the state,
the former in the east and the latter
in Cincinnati delivering a ST. Patrick's
day address. AS Lieut.. Gov. McDer-
mott remained across the river only
long enough to make his speech, and
then crossed back to Covington, it was
not considered necessary to disturb
the slumbers or the peace of the un-
conscious bearer of the brief dignity
and responsibility by notifying him.

Especial Frankfort Correspondence.)
Frankfort.-Commis of Roads
r. C. Terrell and Gov. McCreary have
returned to Frankfort, pleased with
the success of their trip to ask for fed
eral aid in road construction in Ken
lucky this year. Commission Terrell
said the Department of Agriculture
consented to detail four highway en-
gineers for duty in Kentucky, one of
whom will arrive at once. They will
be assigned to designated territories,
each probably being given ten coun-
ties to travel over. They will super
wise the road construction under the
state-aid plan for the State Depart
ment of Roads, and give advice to
county engineers, Just as government
farm demonstrators aid the agricul-
turists.
Besides these four field men assign
ed to the State, Gov. McCreary and
Commissioner Terrell secured permis-
sion to send the excess bridge work
to the Bureau of Highways, Washing
ton. All bridges costing more than
$500 are built under plans and specifi-
cations furnished by the Commission
er of Roads, and this work, in addition
to the highway plans under state aid,
will crowd the Office here. The work
which can not be got out in this Office
without hampering its other activities
will be sent to Washington. Commis-
sioner Terrell said this will save his
Office the expense Of three extra
engineers.

Suggest Mccreary for Commissioner.


The President received Gov. James
McCreary, when in Washington at
the executive offices. The governor,
who was in Washington in the interest
of the good roads movement in Ken
lucky, called with Senator James to
pay his respects. There is a rumor
afoat here that practically all the
Democratic factions in Kentucky have
recommended Gov. McCreary to the
President as a member for an Ameri-
can Peace Commission, should one be
appointed, to draw up articles of set
tlment of the European war. The gov
ernor is one of the fathers of the ar
bitration movement. Gov. McCreary
announced that in all seven Federal
engineers would be sent to Kentucky
to instruct in all road work. Four are
road engineers and the other three
are bridge officers. The governor,
with Secretary Bryan, attended the
Pan-American conference at the Union
building this morning and was shown

Vote on Two Amendments.

Vote on Two Amendments.
Kentucky will be called upon this
year to vote on two most important
constitutional amendments-the work
ing of convicts on public roads and
the vitality important one which in
wolves the question OF retaining the
present antiQuated, grossly unjust sys-
tenn of taxation-which drives capital
from the state-or of establishing a
system under which intangible prop
erty will be made to bear its just pro-
portion of tax burdens. Under the
present system it is within the limit
to say that the owner of visible prop
erty pays not less than IS per cent Of
the taxes collected, while the greater
part of the remaining 15 per cent goes
into the pockets of tax inQuisitors and
their lawyers. 1t is true that Ken
lucky voted largely in favor of both
amendments last year, but the will of
the people was choked off by the neg
ligence of the secretary of state in fail
ing to give due and legal notice of the
submission. That is the way the court
of appeals viewed it, and Kentucky
will have to bear the burden of anoth-
er expensive election because of neg
lect on the part of the secretary.

AGENTS MEET SUCCESS

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
Blacksburg, Va, May 9.--Asked to
say something about the meeting Of
the county agents of the Virginia
Canning and Home Demonstration
Clubs at the Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute last week Miss Ella Agnew.
chief of these agents and director Of
the normal, said after the last ses-
sion Friday afternoon:
1T is the unanimous verdict OF my
agents that they have gotten more
out of this meeting than any we have
ever had. feel particularly gratified
at compliment paid us by one OF
the United States Department of Agri-
culture representatives, who said she
had never seen such an enthusiastic
body of women or such an untiring
one.
las to the meeting itself I cannot
help being eiated that every one Of
those announced on the program as
speakers, or who were to take part In
any way, were present and that the
schedule for the five days was carried
out to the letter. We have gotten
many new ideas from the men and
women from Washington, Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and the farm
demonstration and extension work In
Virginia who talked to US and per-
sonally feel much encouraged at the
reports made by the agents"
The twenty-seven agents left
Blacksburg Saturday morning and
their stay here was both pleasant and
profitable. not only for them, but for
the ladies OF the community. Much
of each afternoon was given up to
demonstrations in packing and re-
packing canned goods, canning such
fruit as was available, and showing
the agents and others how to use
many of the devices for saving time
and money in the home; devices that
it's fine to read about. but not always
easy to get any real service from. The
fireless cooker was an old acquaint-.
ance of some. but many were con-
WINGED for the first time that THERE 10
really such a thing as an iceless re-
frigerator. Two OF the latter were on
one made by the girls at
the Harrisonburg Normal at q cost
Of s3.t5. the other the work OF chill
dren In a. one-room country school.
and costing only the price Of the
hinges, hooks and pan, not more than
forty cents at most. With all due
respect to the experts in manual
the last one seemed quite as
as the Harrisonburg pro-
duct.
