The six men in the saloon, includ-

from the register and place it on the
bar. AS he gathered up the sixty
odd dollars another man entered the
saloon only to be held up and robbed
of $l.S5. The bandit, whose appear

Dog "Comes Back"

Leslie Radford, young son of Mr..
&C. Radford, recently had a coon dog
shipped to him from Princeton and
after keeping the dog here for three
weeks again shipped it to point three
miles below Gracey, about 10 miles
from Hopkinsville. This was two
weeks ago, but Saturday the dog re-
turned to his adopted home here
having made the trip on foot. He
was shipped into and out of Hopkins
vile in a closed crate and could not
have known the way from observa-
ton. How did he know the way
back?

Made By Barksdale HAMLET Of
Statement Made By
Hatcher.

Frankfort, Ky. Feb. 27.-I his
testimony before the Special Pike
County Probe Committee Friday night
Prof. Barksdale HAMLET, former State
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
and defeated Democratic candidate
for Secretary of State, positively de-
MED statements previously made
before the committee by F. Tom
Hatcher, of Pikeville, State Prison
Commissioner, that he, Hamlet, had
stated that the vote of State Senator
Thomas j. Moore, of Breckenridge
county, could be secured for the Pike
Division Bill for 81, 900, or any other
amount, and he denied that he had
ever talked to Hatcher about the vote
of Senator Moore or any other men,
Der of the Legislature.
While on the stand Mr.. Hamlet
testified that Mr.. Hatcher had told
him that the advocates of the new
county bill had plenty of money to
pass the bill and that Gov. Stanley
was pledged to its passage in return
for a contribution of $4,000 or $12,-
600 to the Democratic campaign fund
made by the interests that sought the
creation of the new county.
Prof. Hamlet said that he regretted
that Gov. SANKEY'S name was brought
into the affair as the Governor was
his friend and he was stronger for
him now than ever before, but the
blame was on Tom Hatcher, who
made the voluntary statement in an
interview with him.
The Probe Committee held a spe-
cial and unexpected meeting Friday
night in order to accommodate Prof.
Hamlet, who left for Hot Springs,
Ark, Saturday morning, and request
ed that he be allowed to give his test
imony before he left.
Prof. Hamlet stated he had no res
idence or occupation. Asked if he
had any connection with the Pike
County Division Bill, he stated he had
none whatever.

ROUSING
SPEECHES
Made By Several Orators Yes
terday For Good Roads g,
At The Court House.
HEARD BY LARGE CROWD
Col. W. R. Howell In Strong
Argument Appealed To All
To Vote For Bonds.

Yesterday afternoon a rousing
meeting for the proposed bond issue
was held at the court house.
r. Z. Cooper presided and speeches
were made by J. a. Whitaker, gov
eminent road engineer, by John Fe-
land and by Col. W. r. Howell
Col. Howells speech was IN the
main an answer Of the objections that
are being urged to the bond issue in
some quarters and these were taken
up one by one and disposed of with
arguments that were unanswerable.
The sentiment for bonds is growing
stronger every day and tine opposi-
ton that has shown itself has mar
rowed down to a few localities where
the people already have a pike. The
objections to the bond issue are due
mostly to a misunderstanding or a
lack Conformation and speeches along
the line of Col. Howell's argument
seldom fail to remove such objections.
Speaking appointments are an
nounced for to-day at Kelly at 1870
and at Dogwood at Z p. m, by Col.
Howell and c. 4. Clark.
Tomorrow the same speakers IRE
booked for Owl at 80 and Haddock's
school house at night and Thursday
for cambridge.

In the last twenty years rubber has
attained place in modern industry

THE WORLD NEEDS
MORE RUBBER.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

With millions of motor cars all over
the world eating up tires, and warning
Europe using rubber hospital supplies
and boots in enormous quantities, the
demand for rubber and its price are
both reaching heights unprecedented
Wherefore Uncle Sam, through the bu-
reau of standards, is making a special
and very interesting study of rubber
with view to standardizing the
product.
This is always a long step toward
cheapening any material, and is one
of the most important services that
the government renders to industry.
When the work is completed the man
ufacturer of rubber will be able to
order a certain grade of rubber and
to know exactly what he is getting.
At present the bureau is eXperime
ing extensively in the manufa cture
rubber, and Is also testing the man
factured rubber products now on tn,
market to see how well they are made,
how honest the material in them is.
* X
A complete rubber mill equipment has
been set up at the bureau OF standards
and every process of
Ruhher Mill SET manufacture is being
studied with view
Up for Study. to perfecting it. Per-
haps the most important development to
date is in the nitric acid process which
the bureau has evolved for the re-
claiming" Of scrap rubber. By this
process old rubber may be made over
into a product that is better than some
of the lower grades of fresh rubber.
The importance of this discov-
ery may be gauged from the
fact that about $4,000 tons of scrap
rubber from wornout automobile tires
alone will be put on the market in the
United States this year. This particular
pile Of junk will be worth about $685.
600. 900. Then there will also be about
10000 tons of old rubber shoes and
boots, worth about II cents a pound,
and a good many thousand tons of old
airbrakes, rubber hose. insulated wire
and other manufactures of rubber. In
view Of this immense crop Of rubber
junk, and the extreme scarcity Of new
