BULL FIGHTING OUTLINED.

No more bull fighting in Mexico is to be tolerated. Carranza that modern exponent of liberty for all men and equality in particular has issued edct proclaim ing the barbarous sport outlaw pasme In fact the Mexican public hasn't time for bull fighting. As be- tween engagements around Chihuahua on the U S. bor- der with Villa Obregon Orozco, Trevno and host of other celebrities who cling with tenacious loyalty to the faction possessing the largest quantity of ammunition and the greatest amount of chil and beef there isn't time for any sdeshows between Mexico City and CO- bus Frankly however Cananza is to be congratulated for accepting twentieth century idea of decency. He declares that the de facto government is under obga

Mathematician
 Makes Invention

During long session of con gress a mathematician figured that 56 days had been consumed in roll calls alone A voting machine, which now is being considered, has taken 90,000 roll calls, says Pop ular Science Monthly. It would give congress 200 years work to call the roll that many times. The inventor has installed his system in the state legislature of Wtscon- son, and it is giving excellent ser vice there. In single session of congress, he says, he can lop off 90 days work by calling the roll with his machine.
 Each member votes by pressing a button on the desk in front of him. He and everybody else can see how he voted, as his vote duplicates it. self on large board within the view of all
 The board also totals the vote automatically. In the event that a member wishes to change his vote he merely presses another button provided for that purpose, and the total of yeas" and mays" is ac- cordingly corrected on the board.

ROumania Fears
 Belgium's Fate

London, Oct. 14--The Times pub fishes an interview with the king of Roumania, in which the monarch appeals to the allies not to permit his country to suffer the fate of Serbia and Belgium.
 "The Roumanians will not falter, :" the king said, "in their allegiance to the cause, nor can the enemy wean them from their faith in their allies. Yet the Roumanians pray that, in spite of their existing eXi- gencies and their own huge prob lems, the allies will not allow the affairs of Roumania, who has stalk de her all in this conflict, to pass into the back of their minds and to suffer to such an extent that she may meet the fate of either Belgium or Serbia"

Politician in
 Kentucky Slain

Paris, Ky, Oct. 14.-Sidney G. Clay, former member of the Ken lucky legislature, politician and a prominent member of the noted Clay family of this state, was found shot to death in a doorway here yesterday.
 Lee Beavers of Paris was arrest ed and charged with shooting Clay. Beavers told the police that he had warned Clay to stay away from his home, but that he had failed to heed him.
 He said he found Clay in his home when he returned there early yesterday and shot him.
 Clay and Beavers were together Thursday night at the home of the late P. L. Millett, the turfman. By the side of Clay's body the police found a revolver with one chamber emptied. There were six bullet wounds in Clay's body.
 Clay was 45 years old. Two years ago his wife, who was Miss Mary Stoner, daughter of Col. Rob- ert c. (Fighting Bob) Stoner of Civil war fame, divorced him and went to Baltimore to live. Shortly afterward Clay attempted to kill himself. He telephoned to a fam fly physician just before firing the shot what he was about to do.
 A short time ago Clay was brought to a Lexington hospital sui fering from several revolver wounds.

THE ST. LOUIS OUTRAGE.

A three-year old boy in St. Louis was kidnapped two weeks ago. The abductor, afraid to hold the child longer and fearing also, to free it, beheaded the infant and threw the body in rubbish heap The crime is so revotng that ones mind is almost dazed to think of it. We oppose capital punishment but there instances when death in painless form is too good for bres of this type The old Indian method of tying victims to a tree and applying the torch moderately from day to day would fail to wiring from this murderer half the anguish he has wrung from the hearts of the childs parents In ancient days the Spaniards were celebrated for their
 ability to convert prison walls into earthly he where the piteous appeals of humanity pleading for relief from physical suffering fell upon dead ears. Too bad this custom which passed out of existence in the fifteenth cen tury cannot be reestabshed when the murderer of the St. Louis child is brought face to face with justice
