MOVEMENT
FOR MUSIC
In Public Schools to be Dis
cussed By Miss Bour-
gard.

An effort is being made by the
musical interests of Hopkinsville. to
have the systematic study of music
made a part of the work in all grades
of the public schools and to this end
they nave invited Miss Caroline Bour-
gard, Supervisor of Music in the
Louisville Public Schools, to visit
Hopkinsville and tell of the methods
adopted by the progressive cities of
the country.
Miss BOurgard will come to Hop
kinsville on Wednesday and will on
Thursday morning go before the Sec
ond and third grades of the schools
and give demonstrations in ear train
ing and sight reading. Thursday
night she will talk at the First Chris
tan church, explaining the methods
adopted in Louisville and by many
other up-to-date cities. She will tell
just how music is taught to little tots
and give the steps of advancement as
children go from grade to grade.
Miss Bourgard is thoroughly familiar
with her work and the talk she will
make Thursday night will be of much
interest to the patrons of the schools.
Where music has been a study in
other cities it has been invaluable to
many noted singers who without hes
itation say they attribute their success
to the beginning made in the lower
grades Of the public schools.
The talk by Miss Bourgard at the
Christian church is for the purpose of
informing school patrons of the good
results to be attained and to interest
all citizens who have the schools at
heart in the movement to have the
Board of Trustees consider the en-
ployment of Supervisor of Music.
In addition to the talk to be made
by Miss Bourgard a program will be
rendered by the High School Orches.
ira and an opportunity will be had to
hear this organization in one of the
best efforts made this season.

Eugene Wilson Shoots Lee
HUMPHREYS AT Cadiz
Saturday.
ALIENATION SUIT IS FILED
Tragedy Follows When MEN
Meet On Main
Street.

Cadiz, KY, May S.-Eugene Will
son shot and instantly killed Lee
HUMPHREYS on Main street here at 4
O'Clock Saturday p. m. The shooting
was without prelude in the way Of
words, it is alleged, Wilson stepping
up to HUMPHREYS and began firing.
The tragedy occurred just outside Nc
Carty's drug store. Following the
first shot HUMPHREYS, who is said to
have been unarmed, ran into the
store. Wilson fired twice more after
HUMPHREYS got inside. All the bull
lets went true and HUMPHREYS fell
dead on the floor. He fell between
William Dunn and Dug Crute, who
narrowly escaped being shot. Wilson
was arrested.
There had been trouble of long
standing between the men. A few
weeks ago Wilson filed suit for S., 900
as damages against HUMPHREYS, charg-
ing the latter with having alienated
his wife's affections.
HUMPHREYS was an influential farm
er and unmarried.
Wilson was arrested before the
third report of his pistol had died out.
Deputy Sheriff Charley HUMPHREYS, a
distant relative of the dead man, was
next door to the drug store and he
ran out and seized Wilson. The lat,
ter submitted quietly and was imme'
diately taken to jail.
He has made no statement regard.
| ing the affair. The shooting, taking
place in the heart of the business Sec
ton, Just across the street from the
courthouse, created an intense excite
ment.
Public sentiment seems to lean to
HUMPHREYS, than whom there was no
more popular or highly respected
citizen of the county. He is survived
by his brother, George HUMPHREYS,
an. an unmarried sister, with whom
he made his home.
LOUISVILLE RELATIVE
He was also an uncle of Adrian c..
HUMPHREYS, prominent young attor-
ney of Louisville. 1t is said that for
the past three or four months Mrs.
Wilson and her three or four chill
dren have been making their home
with her mother, a widow, who lives
near this place. Neither Wilson nor
HUMPHREYS had ever been involved in
any serious trouble before. Humph.
ries was a member of the Woodmen
of the World Lodge, and the funeral
services, which took place at the
HUMPHREYS family burying gronud
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, were
conducted by the Cadiz Lodge OF
that order.
