Spirit Of A. W. Pyle Left His
Body Tuesday Morn
ing.
THINKING OF GRANDSON
Funeral Services Held at
Christian Church Yester-
day Afternoon.

An attack of heart failure that came
without a moments notice ended the
life of A. w. Pyle, one of Hopkins
ville's oldest business men Tuesday
morning about 8 o'clock. He was
in his usual health in the morning
and as was his custom went with his
son-in-law, Paul VIM, to the latter's
coal Office at Seventh and railroad
streets. He had given no indications
of illness, had attended church Sun
day night and had been about the
coal Office the day before. About
nine o'clock Mr.. Pyle was standing
by and watching Mr.. VIM make a
squirrel cage for his little eight-year-
old son, Paul. The grandfather was
taking lively interest in the work,
his little grand son being the pride of
his heart Suddenly without word
of warning, Mr.. Pyle pitched forward
unconscious and fell at Mr.. VIM S
feet. Hastily raising him up, Mr..
Winn called for assistance but Mr..
Pyle gasped once or twice and died
in his arms in less than a minutes
time.
Abner Winchester Pyle was born
in Christian county Nov. %, 1874, the
eldest son of John and Jane Meacham
Pyle. He grew to manhood on his
fathers farm near the Brick Church
and went first to Princeton and later
came to Hopkinsville and learned the
trade of cabinet maker in the fur,
niture stores of that day.
In 1868 he formed a partnership
with the late w. B. Mason, ST., and
with an occasional change in partners
remained in the furniture business
for 80 years. He added an under
taking department and also MAIN
tanned work room, making much
of the furniture he sold. He was a
natural genius in mechanics and in
vented many Improvements and ap-
pliances, including a folding bed with
unique features.
On Sept. 20, 1870, he was arried
to Miss Ollie Wade, a daughtel of the
late Henderson Wade, who survives
him. Three daughters were born to
them, only one of whom survives,
Mrs. Paul VIM, the youngest Mr..
Pyle was a lifelong member of the

Another conference has been held
at which it was decided that Attorney
General M. M. Logan is to be perma-

chairman and the chairman of the
state executive committee have al

London, May 3.-The recruiting
problem in England is to be dealt
with by the British parliament in a
bill to be introduced ky the govern
ment calling for general and immedi-
ate compulsory enlistment.
Although since the commencement
of the war the naval and military en-
listments have exceeded 5,00O,0 600
men, Premier Asquith told the house
of commons that the existing machine
~ for recruiting was not sufficient to
get more men to the colors and that it
was the purpose of the government to
ask for legislation which would COM
pei so-called "slackers" to answer
their country's call.
Five hostile airships attacked the
northeast coast of England and the
southeast coast of Scotland last night.
The official announcement of the raid
says that the movements of the raid
ers appeared uncertain, adding: "a
few bombs were dropped in York
shire, but there are no details yet re-
garding the casualties or damage"
With the situation in Ireland virtu-
ally normal, the military authorities
are now busily engaged in running
down the few remaining Sim Feiners
who have failed to surrender.
BELGIANS REPEL ATTACKS
A German attack against the Bel
gians to the north of Dixmude is the
only infantry engagement reported at
any point along the western front.
Artillery bombardments, especially
severe to the northeast of Verdun,
have been the sole method of warfare
on the other sectors. North of Dix
nude the Germans, after a violent
preparatory bombardment, charged
and occupied positions of three Bel
gian advance posts, but the Belgians
in counter attack Immediately drove
out the invaders.
A German attempt to assume the
offensive against the Russians at Rag
gasem, near Riga, was put down but
the Teutons continue their heavy ar
tillery fire against the lkskull bridge

Douglas, Ariz., May Am attempt
by body of de facto Mexican caval-
ry, the advance guard of Gen. Arm
ulfo Gomez's force, to enter Chihua-
hua through Pulpito Pass, was blocked
Tuesday by American troops, accord
ing to a reliable report received here
from American sources.
The Mexicans, according to the re-
port, were under command If Col.
Jesus Maria Aguierre, and had pene-
trated l8 miles into the pass before
their movement was discovered by
United States military aeroplane which
reported their presence to the Ameri-
can commander.
The American troops are said to
have been drawn up in strategic for
nation to hold the pass and Col. Agu-
ierre did not attempt to press forward
but went into camp and dispatched
messengers to the rear, presumably
to communicate with Gen. Gomez.
Col. Aguierre's advance into Chi

the forerunner of general move
ment.

with the entire situation and who
said:

HOME RULE SPLIT
House of Commons in Row Over
Irish Law.

London, July 25.-Confirming pub
licly the suspicion that cabinet had
been unable to reach a decision in
regard to the home rule amending,
AsQuith in the house of commons to-
day announced that the government
would not introduce any bill Of this
kind with regard to which there was
no substantial agreement among all
parties.
This was taken in the Hobbies of par
lament to mean that home rule had
been dropped for the moment and that
David Lloyd-GeorgeS negotiations had
come to naught.
The stumbling block appears to have
been the retention in the imperial par
lament of nationalist representative
in unliminished numbers.
John Redmond, leader of the ma
tionalists, moved an adjournment OF
the house to discuss the premier's re-
ply, and a lively debate, when the
regular business of the house of com
mons was concluded, was anticipated
Mr.. Redmond asked amid national
list cheers whether the government
had decided to depart from the terms
of the agreement arrived at by the
Irish party and based upon the pro-
posals made by Secretary of War
David Lloyd George whether the gov
eminent had determined to insert in
the bill new proposals at variance
with the agreement without consult
ing the nationalists; and whether the
premier had received any intimation
that a bill SO framed would be vigOr-
ously opposed by the nationalists.
Premier Asquith in reply, pointed
out that the agreement was subject to
the approval of, and revision by the
cabinet
