OF COLUMBUS RAID
SENATOR CHARGES THAT WAR
DEPARTMENT HAD INFORMA-
TON But DID NOTHING.

Washington, May 17.-Attacks on
the provision for a Government nj
trate plant incorporated in the army
bill delayed adoption of the confer
ees' report to-day in the Senate. Sem
ator Hardwick, Of Georgia, led in the
attack, characterizing the provision
as dangerous, socialistic and pater-
nal. The debate was broadened out
By Senator Lodge denouncing the re-
duction in the Senate provision for
the size of the regular army.
with not soldier left on the At
lantic coast from Maine to Fortress
Monroe, to-day they are taking the
coast artillery-and the Pacific coast
in the same CONDITIONAL to take
care of the little trouble in Mexico"
said Senator Lodge. ait seems to me
practically incredible that either
branch of Congress should be willing
to put s2O,OOO,OOO into a nitrate
plant at Muscle Shoals or some 9TH
er place and not be willing to give
the country soldiers enough for its
immediate defense against troubles
so trivial as confront us on the bor-
der. do not believe our conferees
could have gotten more. / am
thankful for what they did get, but
don't want Senators here to be I'M
der the delusion that they have got
ten what they should have for their
country"
Senator Newlands suggested the
ACCESSIBILITY of refusing to accept the
conference report.
81 am not willing TO run the risk
of losing what little we have gained
in this BILL" responded Senator
Lodge. 81 think it was the original
plan of those in the House to do alb
solutely nothing"
Senator Smith, of Michigan, de-
clared a current report that the War
Department had advance information
of the raid at Columbus, N. NJ, and
had not taken proper steps to pre-
vent it should be investigated. Sena-
tor Fall agreed that the War Depart
ment should be Intercepted on the
subject, and said he intended to ad-
dress the Senate soon of the sub
ject.

THE DU POINT CANDIDACY.

The Business Mems League is putt
ing up a game fight against odds for
the nomination of Gen. T. Coleman
du Pont for the Republican nomina-
ton. using as their slogan, "A Bus
mess Man for President" If that is
what the people want no better bus
mess man could be be found than Mr.
du Pont and he possesses the admiral
trait of loyalty to friendship, cherish
ing it as did Damon and Pythias.
No one can be blamed for wanting
more business sense displayed at
Washington. The present administra-
ton has shown none. But as bad as
it is needed we are in greater need
of diplomacy for one diplomatic
blunder may destroy the result of
years of toll on the, part of the bus
mess man. 1t can also be truthfully
said that there is very little brilliant
diplomacy around the capital city.
Mr.. du Pont formerly lived in Ken
lucky, is well known in Ohio county
and was at one time a citizen of our
neighbor county of Muhlenberg. II
his presidential aspirations are I'M
successful we hope to see him firmly
located in a good Republican cabinet
next year where he will have an OPP
portunity to serve his people with his
splendid business ability.

MODERN BLUEBEARD'S rs
WIVES ALL ARE MISSING

Budapest, via London, May "a
Further official investigation into the
case of the modern bluebeard in the
village of Cinkota, who, it develops,
was known as Bella Kiss, shows that
the man made a practice for years,
according to the police, of decoying
women by marriage advertisements,
obtaining their money on marriage
promises and then numbering them.
The police have a record of eighteen
women with whom Kiss was at var1-
Gus times associated, eight of whom
lave long been reported as missing,
While the ten others have not yet
been found. In the house he had oc-
CAPPED were discovered packages of
love letters from all parts of the
wcfld, including the United States.
Four OF seven sealed leaden cases
found in the dwelling were opened.
three contained the bodies % strang-
lon women, while in the fourth were
seven women's dresses. Cne was
identified as belonging TO a young
V oman who has been missing for ten
years.
there appears to be no doubt that
Kiss died at Valjevo, SeIbia, as re-
rorted previously. Although he
rarely worked, he spent money so
generously that he was known gen
orally as 1.-The American Uncle"

Hardinburg Fair Recognized.

The Breckenridge County Fair has
been reorganized with Judge c. c.
Owens as general manager for this
year.
Judge Givens resides at Madison
Vile, where he has conducted the
fair for 20 years. He is also eX-
tensively identified with the business
interests OF Henderson, where he is
publisher of the Henderson Daily
Cleaner, president of the Henderson
Commercial Club and secretary and
principal owner of the Henderson
Fair, which has been a great success
under his management for the past
nine years.
A liberal program of races, ring
shows, floral hall, cattle, hog and
poultry exhibits will be offered, and
in addition a splendid line of free
attractions will be provided to fill in
between the races in the afternoon.
There are no prettier grounds in
Kentucky than those at Hardinsburg
and there is every reason to believe
that with the assistance of Judge
Owens the Fair can be put on its
feet in such way as to hope for its
continuance on a broad scale from
year to year.
No gambling. liquor selling or i'm
moral shows will be tolerated and the
atmosphere will be such as to appeal
to the better elements OF the com
munity.
The dates this year will be July
rs, 26, 27 and 2S, with the Fairs at
Henderson and other west Kentucky
points following, thus placing Hard
insburg with a good active circuit.

BEADS ODDLY STRUNG
(By j. II. Thomas.)

An industrious propaganda, head
ed by Ormby McHarg, is sending out
tons of literature urging the Repuh-
licans to nominate a big successful
business man for president. No
special candidate is favored but Root,
Weeks, Burton, Fairbanks, Estabrook
and du Pont are on the list of eligi-
bles.
The Wilson administration has
shown the most reckless disregard
for the civil service system, and it is
claimed the civil service league, COM
posed of a hundred thousand infiue-
entail members, will vigorously OPP
pose his election this fall.
80
Three weeks ago Col. Roosevelt's
nomination appeared a certainty; to-
day it looks like Hughes. but it Is
hazardous to guess what twenty days
may bring forth.
80
Somehow neither party ever gets
real het up over the nomination for
vice president.
over one hundred invitations have
been sent out to cranks to attend a
national convention of cranks soon
to be held in California. Col. Bryan
was invited.
The national wholesale liquor deal
ers met in Louisville last week, and
although they elected twenty odd Off
GERS there wasn't Kentuckian
among them. 1t wasn't fair.
An ignorant liveryman, who could
not write an intelligent letter, was
freak candidate for president At
the Nebraska primary and received
twenty thousand votes-a splendid
argument for presidential primaries.
Henry Ford carried Michigan over
Senator William Alden Smith at the
recent presidential primary but the
Michigan State convention instructed
for Hughes who had received only
three hundred votes in the primary.
Another strong argument for primary
elections.
William Jennings defeated for de-
legate to the national convention and
brother Charlie defeated for the nom
nation for Governor the same day
shows how little regard Nebraska
Democrats have for their most dis
tinguished family.
