PRISONERS TRIED UNDER
QUEER CIRCUMSTANCES

Lebanon, KY, Feb. 27.-An unu-
sual trial took place here this morn
ing when Dexter Adams and Oscar
Stewart, young men who claim Hell
ton. N. c., as their home, were ar
raigned before County Judge John
A. Burton to answer a charge of
petit larceny.
On account of case of smallpox
at the Jail the premises have been
placed under quarantine. Conse-
quently the men could not be
brought out of prison for trial and
the court officials and witnesses
gathered in the yard a short dis
lance from the Jail and called the
prisoners to the cell bars. The trial
was held while the accused stood
just inside the Jail. They were
found guilty and given a thirty-day
sentence in Jail, but had they been
found not guilty it would have been
impossible for the court to have
given them their freedom.

Mrs. Peavler said she and her
husband spent the afternoon shop
ping at Harrodsburg. Her husband,
she says. seemed in the best of hui
NOR, but ON returning home he used
abusive language toward cousin
of hers. young woman who had
been visiting at the Peavler home.
81 asked daddy not to talk that
way" said Mrs. Peavler, "but my re-
quest only served to further incense
him. He persisted in using vile
epithets and finally asked my IA
year-old son where the shotgun was.
81 realized he meant to kill me
and knowing the weapon to be In
an adjoining room, l rushed to get
it. Daddy followed at my heels. He
threw open the doors of the ward
robe where the shotgun had been
kept. This time it stood in one cor
ner of the room and while my hus-
band was pulling things out of the
wardrobe. l got the gun. When he
looked up | had it leveled at his
breast.
81 told him to keep his distance
as | meant to shoot II he advanced
step nearer me. He paid no at
tention. Fearing that he would kill
me if he got his hands on me,
pulled the trigger.
81 didn't want to kill him." said
the wife. "but he made me do it. 1t
was his life or NINE"
Mrs. Peavler said she fed from
the house when she saw her hus-
band fall and she did not know un-
til half an hour later that he was
dead. Neighbors bore her the news.

such great popularity that the Ger

hundreds of women and to forbid

hearts had discarded the flags and
other national color adornments

hats Of cavalrymen and carbineers,
which they tilted at a rakish angle.
s"The fad threatened to create a
public nuisance, as the wearing OF
the hats by the women caused out

EARLY MARRIAGE ON TRIAL.
Pedigree Contest to Determins
Merits and Dement'S.

Scientists and savants have argued
on the merits and dement's of eu'
genics. and particularly whether q
not early marriages tend to lower I'll,
intellectual standard of the race. Now
the babies themselves are called or
to decide the question
The American GenCtic Association
of this city is conducting a "pedigre,
contest" that. it is hoped, will settI.
the moot question in the black anC
white statistics. The pedigrees Of the
children of syoung and old parent:
are being kept and from the genera,
average the conclusion will be drawn
II is admitted that so far the figures
have not led to any definite de-
cision.
Paul Popence. editor of the Journal Of
Heredty, the official organ of the as
ISOLATION. denied yesterday the statement
attributed to c. l.. Redtield. a member.
to the effect that the organization is OPP
posed to early marriages.
This is one of the most important
questions in the whole study of eugenics."
said the editor. and this association has
not determined whether early marriage
detracts from the intellectual power Of
the offspring. II is to determine this
question that We are conducting the pedi-
gree contest, and until we have definite
proof based on statistics, We shall not
oppose early marriage"

SUMMER WHITE HOUSE
HERE IS PLAN in BILL
Representative Bartlett Introduces
Measure to Buy Site on
Mount Dome.
Alrpoys Iook for that Name

Marking the start of a campaign to
locate summer White House In the
District of Columbia. Representative
Bartlett OF Georgia. yesterday intro
duced a bill appropriating scS0.00o for the
construction of summer home for the
President on Mount Dome, Randle High
lands.
The Bartlett bill is offered in opposi-
ton to a strong movement looking to the
purchase of Monticello. the magnificent
estate of Thomas Jefferson. now owned
by Representative Levy, of New York,
for the same purpose.
The proposition behind the Bartlett bill
involves the donation of twelve acres
comprising Mount Dome by the pro-
meters of Randle Highlands property.
Mount Dome is an elevation about on the
level with the dome of the Capitol build
ing. II commands sweeping view OF
the Capital, and is about twelve minutes
ride from the business section of the
city.
While no action is expected on the
Bartlett measure at this session. 1t is
said to represent a strong movement
which will manifest itself in the next
Congress.

Commissioner of Revenue Directed to

Alexandria, Va, March THE State

sixty days late this year because C..
Lee Moore. State auditor. has directed
Commissioner of Revenue Charles H. CAL
lahan not to make the assessment until
after the State Legislature meets next
week. The Legislature will take final
action on the new tax laws. This will.
therefore, mean a delay In the city as
sessment and it is hardly thought that
the city tax bills, due and payable July
j, will be gotten out on time.
There is an entire new system of taxa
ton 10 be installed and this coupled
with the fact that it will take the COM
missioner of revenue some time to famil-
iarize himself with the new system. will
add TO the delay. 1t is hardly thought
the work can be started before the lat
ter part of this month. 1t is generally
started about February I. Taxpayers
will have to given in intangible prop
erty and will have to itemize 1t and state
its market value.
John G. O'Laughlin. national president
