In justice to Judge Barnes, want

STATE HEADQUARTERS
IS some BUSY PLACE
CORDIAL WELCOME AWAITS EV-
ERY VISITOR ON FOURTH
FLOOR OF SEELBACH.

Republican headquarters on the
fourth floor of the Seelbach Hotel in
Louisville is some busy place these
days. II Chairman Petty is engag-
ed in conversation with five hundred
or more visitors from out in the
State you will be met at the door
of the reception rooms by an assist
ant and in less than three seconds
you will begin thinking that you own
controlling stock in the company. 1t
is genuine hospitality. Men are
mingling, shaking hands. talking ov-
err the situation and suggesting and
working out plans to carry Kentucky
for Hughes and Fairbanks November
7th.
You decide to look around over
your property and looking into one OF
the other rooms you are dumfound-
ed. The hum of the Underwoods
sounds like a country saw mill. Girls,
good looking ones too, are fitting
here and there the busiest little
things you ever saw. There are
many things to do and each one has
a specially.
An Ohio countain is especially at
home for there is Avis Bennett, sec
rotary. and John Thomas, publicity,
and while they. too. are working like
Irad they take little time off to chat
with one from home. Politics comes
first. They want to know just what
majority will be given in November.
One mustn't take much time from
these fellows for they are hard at it..
You pass on down the hall to the en-
trance and Tom Cooke yells, hurry
back"
One staggers slightly from the
whirl. No, not that, for j. Barle-
corn has absolutely no place in Re-
publican State Headquarters. Any
one else, however, always finds a
welcome. When welcome Is de-
served.

FIND HAIR, CLOTHES AND BONES
BURIED IN MUDDY
WOODS.
OFFICERS ARE NOTIFIED
Rush to Scene With Health Officer
Where n Careful Investigation
Is Made.

While coon hunting in Muddy bot
toms, near Hartford. Friday night
two local men detected some very
fine hair scattered over the ground
and upon investigation were startled
to find what they believed to be hui
man bones wrapped in some old
clothes. They concluded at once that
there had been a murder and that
some prowling animal had dug up
the remains of the victim.
1t was not one of those black, sui
try nights of which Shakespeare was
so fond of telling. On the contrary
the moon was shining very brightly
and the air was fresh but the
thoughts OF unearthing such terri
BILE tragedy was upsetting to the
nerves of the hunters. The long
white hair was undoubtedly that of
an infant The fact that the body
had been wrapped in the old clothes
and then buried indicated that the
murderer had worked with GOODNESS
and deliberation. The thoughts of
the silent two were as one-this
childkiller must be brought to JUS
tice; this willful murder must be
avenged.
In low tones a short consultation
was held and the hunters made their
way silently to Hartford where an
officer was notified of the discovery
that ONCE made public, so they be-
lieved, would start thousands Of
tongues to wagging. 1t was thought
best to await the coming of day to
make further Investigations. Two
officers and the two hunters departed
early the following day for Muddy
bottoms in an automobile.
AS the machine approached the
scene of the discovery the group
waited with breathless spectations.
They alighted and approached the
spot. Someone bent over and pick
ed up a bone. 1T looks very much
like the bone of human" spoke one
of the physician officers. They dug
into the little grave. Further evil
dence was found. One physician
smiled at the other.
Whoever owned the little dog must
have been very devoted to it because
apparent pains had been taken in Civ
ing the animal a decent canine bur-
ial.
The party returned. A vow was
taken to remain silent but somehow
a tiny leek was sprung and you have
the story.

MAKE GOOD ON HIKE
kentucky Brigade Makes Highest
Rating on March of Over Hun
dred Miles.

Tanned by the burning sun of
Texas and hardened by the life of
soldier on the border Captain C.. B.
Shown, of H Company, Kentucky Ma
tional Guard, blew into Hartford
Wednesday night. He had been on
the road since Monday and had Villa
been in these parts he would I'M
doubtedly been taken by surprise fOr
none here knew of the Captains COM
ing. He was Immediately surround
ed by relatives and friends of the
boys on the border and questions
were fired into him with the rapidity
of a modern machine gun.
1.-The boys are all well on the bor-
der" was about all the visiting SOL
der had to say for he could hardly
wait to see the home folks and get
a Whit of the aroma of Kentucky
ham and other home dishes. Texas
seems to be agreeing with Capt.
Shown. He has taken on about
twenty pounds in weight since going
there and If all the boys are in as
good condition the folks back home
need not worry. The commander of
H Company will be here for twenty
days and will then return to his COM
mand.
That Kentucky troops are making
good in the service is evidenced by
the fact that they made the highest
grade on the hike from Ell Paso to
Las Cruces and return, distance of
over one hundred miles. Company
II stood the hike well and made an
excellent showing.
Several members of the Hartford
company have been transferred to
various other departments. Several
have gone to the machine gun COM
panies while others have been trans
ferred to the commissary depart
ment. There are now about thirty
nine left to uphold the reputation of
the company. Captain Shown is in
sole command as Lieut.. Barnett is In
the recruiting service at FIT. Thomas
while Lieut.. Osborne is absent on
leave.
Only guesses can be made as to
how long the Kentucky troops will
be on duty. Some think the boys
will be recalled about the first of No
vember while others seem to think
they will be out until spring. Il
seems improbable that they will be
for many weeks at the shortest. Win
ter clothing has been issued and the
camp is being prepared for winter.

BRITAIN NOT To
ACT IN U-53 Case
VISCOUNT GREY SAYS U. s. AN
NOUNCEMENT WILL BE
AWAITED.

Ibndon, Oct. 1.-THE British
government will not make any off,
cial representation to 1.-THE United
States concerning the German sub
marine U-53 pending an announce
ment of its attitude by the American
Government said Viscount Grey. Sec
rotary of State fof Foreign Affairs
in the House of Lords today.
The question concerning the Ger
man submarine raid in American wa
tiers was raised by Baron Charles
Bersesford, former. commander of the
British home fleet; Earl Grey, for
mer Governor General of Canada
and others. Baron Beresford asked
whether British cruisers were remov
ed from American waters owing &c
American objections and if so what
steps the Government proposed fol
the protection of British vessels. He
criticized the submarine reply as al
least curt and said the American
ideas of neutrality were curious.
Earl Grey wanted an assurance
that the report was untrue that
American commanders of destroyers
had acceded to the request of the
German submarine commander to
clear out of the way and gixe him
room to blow up ships.

SIXTEEN COLLEGES
Enter Plan to Train Students For
Army.

Washington. Oct. 1S.-Ofhcial au-
thorization for the training in mill
try science of students in sixteen OF
the country's leading universities and
colleges has been given by the War
Department to executive officers of
the institutions at a conference be-
tween them and ranking department
officials.
The purpose of the'conference was
to establish a systematic method for
training reserve officers along lines
described by the army reorganization
law. 1t has been estimated that a
corps of $4,000 reserve officers will
be necessary to establish an adequate
military force, should the United
States become involved in war with
a first-class world Power.
The curriculum will be drafted to
cover such subjects as are known to
junior officers and will exempt grad
yates of such institutions from the
necessity of taking the regular army
examination in order to obtain com
missions as reserve officers. 1t will
be made effective when completed by
a general order issued by the Secre-
tary of War. Many other education
al institutions are expected to install
military training courses later.
