ENACTED At HICKMAN

Kills Deputy Sheriff-Is
Killed By Citizens.

Hickman, KY. Sept. 9.-Three
men are dead as the result of a Sc
ries of shooting affairs here tonight.
The dead are Willie Collins. a mi
nor. Deputy Sheriff w. A. Naylor, a
former County Judge, and Claude
Johnson, an alleged "bootlegger."
There is much excitement. and the
facts are hard to obtain. but from
the best information at hand IL is
said that the trouble began a few
days ago when Collins gave testimo-
ny to the effect that Johnson had
sold him liquor in violation Of the
law. This is said to have greatly en-
ragged Johnson, and tonight he went
to the Collins home and called for
the youth. The boy came to the
door with his mother holding him on
one side and his sister on the other,
fearful for him to go out while
Johnson was there. While Collins
was so held. it is said, Johnson shot
him with a doubls-barreled shotgun,
killing him instantly. One charge
took effect in Mrs. Collins arm.
Deputy Sheriff Naylor attempted
to arrest Johnson, and was shot in
the neck and head, death resulting
ten minutes later A fusillade OF
shots was fired at Johnson by uni
IDENTIFIED persons, one of the bullets
causing his death.

STATE AID MEANS REAL
SERVICE TO KENTUCKY

The Louisville Times, which has
done more than any other newspa-
per to promote bodybuilding in Ken
lucky, gives the following brief his
tory of the progress made in this i'm
portant phase of Kentucky develop
ment:
"The present state aid and super
vision law was enacted by a Demo-
cratic assembly and approved by a
Democratic Governor. Under 1t, 104
of Kentucky's 100 counties have ask
ed and been granted State aid and
supervision. There will be spent this
year the sum of $3.075. 900 on State
aid roads, leading from county seat
to county seat, and in the future
from State line to State line. OF
this sum $1,325.60o has been raised
by the State and counties jointly
through the general and the automo-
bile license road tax; $1,790,000 by
bond issues by the counties. Within
five years a Statewide system of
roads will be completed, making ev-
cry county seat the center OF no.
less than four roads. forming part of
the system"
Why will Democratic orators have
to go further than this to present a
most convincing argument for the

THE STARS AND STRIPES
ASSUME A WIDE RANGE

Washington. Sept. 9.-The Ameri-
can nag now floats over more ships
in the foreign trade than at any 9TH
err time since 1868, and the United
States Is pressing close on France
and Norway as maritime nation.
On June 80 there were registered in
the foreign trade 2,76s ships total
ing 1.s13.775 gross tons, an increase
of SeS ships and 1898 tons for
the year.
Assistant Secretary Sweet, of the
Department of Commerce. in a state
ment said:
This is about triple the increase
in registered tonnage for any pre-
vious year in American history. Our
registered tonnage is now much
greater than at any time since 1863.
when we had 2.O26.114 gross tons
in foreign trade. 1t is many more
times efficient, however, as the
steam tonnage now amounts to L.
273,067 gross tons, while in 1868 1t
amounted to only 1925 tons.
THE increase from the ship regis
try act of August IS. 1914. to June
10. 1915, was so rapid that tonnage
under the American flag now en-
ployed in foreign trade is nearly
equal to such tonnage under the
French or Norwegian flags. British
tonnage, of course, is more than ten
fold greater"

new LINEUP FOR
WESTERN ROADS
Union Pacific and Burlington in q
Big Deal for the Through
Business.
TO USE U. P. WEST OF DENVER


Passenger traffic officials Of roads
having through car arrangements
with the Union Pacific on western
business are considerably exercised
over the tie-up that the Overland
system has made with the Burlington
TO handle its cars west from Denver
Saturday The Bee announced that
effective May 80, the Burlington
would haul the cars over its own rails
to Denver and there they would be
turned over to the Union Pacific to
be hauled to ogden, there to be taken
on by the Southern Pacific.
Now Il seems that these cars are TO
start from Chicago over the Burlington
and run through ST. Louis, and from
there on routed as stated. This. how
ever, only told half the story. for accord
ing to the agreement entered into by
the Union Pacific and Burlington. May
%. and daily thereafter. the Burlington
will run a Chicago train through Omaha.
and from hero II will so to Denver. where
II will be consolidated with the Chicago
=
Union Pacific. This will be an abso-
lutely new train out OF Denver and over
tho Union Pacific will be hauled to
ogden. where Il win be split, one part
going on to San Francisco. over the
southern Pacific and hauled by Southern
Pacific engines The other part will be
taken over by the San Pedro and Will he
hauled to Los Angeles. Similar arrange
ncnts win apply on the eastbound bust
ness.
AS II lie figured out at this time, the
Burlington viii have enough passengers
TO mi a train off the two trains into
Denver. In the event IL should not. the
Union Pacific reserves the right TO at
tach It's cars at points enroute.
This tie-up IL the sensation IN railroad
circles. as Il is known that in the past
the Burlington has used the Denver &
Rio Grande exclusively from Denver to
Ogden. and that west OF there II has
had close traffic arrangements with the
Western Pacific. This latest move is
taken by railroad men here TO mean that
the Hill and Cloud systems have broken,
or partially broken off the friendly re-
lations that have existed since the COM
pletion OF the Western Pacific.
Il Is also taken to mean. say the rail-
road men. that II indicates possible
break between the Union Pacific. North
western and the Milwaukee. and that the
traffic arrangements BY which the first
named road has been hauling the cara
OF tho two roads last named may end
in Tho near future.
Union Pacific officials here are not
taking, m~'eiy asserting that the new
move Is solely for business. Officials Of
the other roads interested are not cloSe
enough % the inner circles. 80 that they
feel az liberty 10 express opinions as to
what the new move on the railroad
