phase Of the tax problem and devoted
himself entirely to the preservation of
law and order in Western Kentucky.
He said the State had only recently
been disgraced by the hanging of two
negroes by mob at Paducah and
that he did not intend to have a repe-
tition if he was able to stop it, even if
he had to sacrifice himself to the mob.
Advices received from Paducah at
midnight were to the effect that the
Sheriff of Galloway county, while on
his way from Murray to Hopkinsville
with the negro, was intercepted at
Princeton by telegram signed os-
tensibly by Judge Bush to return the
prisoner to Murray next day and that
he had reached Paducah after the de-
parture of the last train for Murray
and was spending the night there
with the negro.
1t was said the prisoner had been
placed in the city Jail for the night
and was in the custody of James Col
Inns, City Jailer, and that he had not
been placed in the county jail in
charge OF Jailer Whittemore, with
whom Gov. Stanley had communist
ed over The telephone from Louis
vile.
The Paducah information was to
the effect that the Galloway county
Sheriff had planned to leave Paducah
for Murray with the prisoner at 8
O'Clock next morning unless another
order was received to keep him in
that city.
II was not known at Paducah, ex-
cept to Jailer Whittemore, that Gov.
Stanley had issued an order to keep
the negro in custody there until his
arrival.
Goy. Stanley communicated with
Judge Bush at Murray regarding the
situation and was told by the lat
ter that it was critical and that he had
acted when it appeared that his life
was in danger. He said he had done
everything in his power to preserve
law and order.
Gov. Stanley on special train
reached Murray early Thursday
morning and found that the excite
ment had abated in the absence of the
negro, who was indicted Monday,
and the news come by telephone that
an agreement to try the negro at once
would restore order. The report
also said Gov Stanley was making a
speech to the big crowd that had
again assembled.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Tho Courier-Journal Of yesterday
IN 1h editorial attack upon Judge
Clos II. Bush has gone out Of its
vs. to Willy and libel man Of cour-
ace character and rare wisdom. He
saved the negro's life, he stood his
ground and defed the mob, even
when his appeal for protection passed
l1nheeded. Under what law is a
Judge ON the bench required to deal
with mobs, without military baching3
What Judge in the state would have
engaged in single-handed fight with
1000 armed men? 1t was the part Of
wisdom and common sense to concil-
late, in the absence of the peace Off
GERS of the city and county, until the
Governor could have time to act. The
attempt to condemn Judge Bush for
the steps he took to gain time to APP
peal to angry mems reason is libelous
and contemplate. He at once re-
ported his actions to Gov. Stanley and
with the Governors assistance order
was restored the following day. The
excited editorial writer in the Cour-
Ter Journal has done a grievous in
justice to a man as brave as himself
and far wiser than those who con-
denim his courageous course.

even at the risk of his life, and it was
found that the mob spirit had quieted
down, until the Governor was given
a courteous hearing. The Governor
declared that the negro would not be
brought back until he ordered his
return. Comparative quiet was re-
stored and Governor Stanley and the
court officials then left about noon for
Paducah. The Governor returned TO
Louisville and Judge Bush arrived
home at 3:20 o'clock.

Local Report.

Murray, KY, Jan. 11.-Re-estab-
lishment of law and order through
the personal efforts of Governor A.
o. Stanley of Kentucky continues
here tonight after a period of excite
ment that at one time threatened the
destruction of Circuit Judge Charles
Bush and Commonwealth Attorney
Denny Smith at the hands of a mob
which had become angered because
the trial of Lube Martin, a negro,
charged with the murder of Guthrie
Diuguid, white man had been de-
ferred.
After a turbulent night during
which the mob threatened to dyna-
mite a hotel, the refuge of the Judge,
Gov. Stanley, accompanied by three
friends, came to Murray to plead with
the crowd for the preservation of
order. His presence early in the day
sobered the citizens and his later adj
dress to a throng in Judge Bush's

court room lined up public sentiment
with him. His declaration that he
had come to Murray to uphold the
law and protect the court with my
body if necessary, moved a brother
of the man the negro was charged
with killing to openly endorse his APP
peal. Leaving the court house the
governor moved from group to group
on the streets reproving those who
exhibited tendency to flout the law.
Before noon he apparently dominated
the situation and shortly thereafter
left the city on special train with the
Judge and the prosecutor.

Judge Bush gives the following ac-
count of the trouble:
81 opened court on Monday and en-
paneled grand jury that returned an
indictment that evening against Mar
tin. He was then ordered to Murray
and arrived Tuesday morning at 8
o'clock. The case was called and the
commemorative attorney, assisted by
Wells & Keys, Coleman e. Lancas-
ter, Barnett, Jones and Diuguid, local
attorneys, announced ready for trial.
The negro had no attorney and | an
pointed Attorney Pat Holt to defend
him. After an honr's consultation
with his client Holt reported not ready
and asked time toprepare an affidavit.

Use Movies To Undo
Work OF Enemy Spies

CHICAGO. Nov. 2O.-America is
already fighting the Germans in Rus
sia not with men and guns, but with
moving pictures.
William A. Brady motion picture
producer and ex-orficia chairman of
the national moving picture war CO.
operation committee, made this state
ment in an address before the four
minute men of Chicago Monday.
I'VE are fighting the German SPY
system in Russia with films Brady
said. I'VE are showing the Russian
soldiers the most ignorant fighting
men in all Europe, that the United
States is not an autOcracy, as the Sc
cret agents of the kaiser have told
them. and mailing the lie that we arc
only making a pretense at war.
MANY of the Russian soldiers cam
not read, but they understand tn,
universal language of the cinema
This is the only way we can reach
them and President Wilson realized
this when he sent a delegation Of mo
tion picture lneh t6 the chaotic re-
public to counteract the work Of the
German propasandists with films.

Young Business Man Opens Quar-

Indication that real estate In Wash

fact that numbers of newcomers are
entering the ranks. Quite recently
new firms have sprung up, seemingly
over night, and in several instances
men have forsaken other employment
for this branch of work.
Edgar A. Miller, one Of this
city's most enterprising young bnsi-
ness men, has announced his en-
trance into this vast field. Miller
some years past was Unidentified with
w. K. Ellis in the real estate bust
ness. having had five years expert

Miller's new quarters is located at
7o9 Twelfth street northwest. He will
make speciality of renting, realizing
that war conditions have greatly i'm
proved realty in this respect. How
ever, he does not intend to overlook,
the vastness of the loans and insur-

Miller should make one of the citv's
