MURDER CHARGE AGAINST WO-
MANS ASSAILANT.

> The death in Lexington, Wednes-
day afternoon of Sarah Shepherd,
colored, who was brutally beaten by
Henry Hawkins, colored, near Clays-
vile, several days ago, resulted in a
charge of murder being placed
against her assailant. The warrant
was served on Hawkins in the Paris
Jail Wednesday.
Z An examination of the woman's
body conducted by Coroner Rudolph
Davis, of Paris, assisted by the hos
pital physicians, developed ample
testimony of the extremely brutal
treatment to which she had been sub
jected. Hawkins, though, claimed he
had only used his open hand in "cOr-
recting" her.
The examination divulged a frac-
ture of the skull, besides numerous
body bruises. Her face was badly
bruised and swollen.
Hawkins is paroled convict, sent
up for robbing the general merchan-
disc store of Mr.. c. N. Martin, at
Stony Point, in this county.

HEAVENS! LARUE COUNTY'S
QUOTA RAISED ON FIRST
CALL.

They are still raising men in Larue
county, Kentucky, where Abraham
Lincoln was born. Not single
man there failed to pass the physical
examination or claimed exemption
from the National Army draft for any
cause, and the county's record is per-
feet up to date.
Larue county's quota for the Ma
tional Army was 1872 men. Exactly
1872 men were examined and every
one proved satisfactory from both
the physical and patriotic standpoint.
They were all lank, lean and lively,
just like Lincoln, and all willing to
fight that Government of the peO-
pie, by the people and for the peo-
pie shall not perish from the earth. !"
The records received by the Dis
trict Board show that married men
were included in the list of accepted
legistrants. They also show that none
of the married men from Larue
county objected to being included.

PRESIDENT FIXES COAL PRICES
FOR COUNTRY.

Bituminous coal prices were fixed
by President Wilson, Wednesday
night for every mine in the United
States.
The next step in coal control, q
White House announcement said.
will be to fix the charges to be charg-
ed middlemen and retailers.
Prices were set on cost of produc-
ton estimates furnished by the Fed
eral Trade Commission after months
of exhaustive Investigation. The
country is divided into 20 districts
and every producer in a district will
market his output at the same price.
The prices f. o. b. mines In Ken
lucky are as follows:
Kentucky-Run of mine, $195;
prepared size, 1870; slack or screen
ings, $40.
Kentucky Jellico-Run of mine
s2.4O; prepared size, $2.65; slack or
screenings, $2.15.
To these prices must be added
freight, which to Paris, is about
$3.50 to $1.55 per ton, which will
make the coal cost from 1925 to
$4.20 per ton f. o. b. Paris. To this
must be added the cost of delivery
and dealers profits.

COAL EMBARGO LIFTED

The freight car embargo, according
to reports received here by interested
parties, is being gradually lifted, and
the Louisville e Nashville railroad is
now engaged in moving storage cars,
which for several months have been
held in the side tracks along the
line of the road.
The embargo which has been in ef-
feet on the Eastern roads, has been
largely responsible for the holding up
of cars on the Louisville e Nashville
and the indications now are that the
entire number will be under way
within the next few days. Most OF
the cars held in storage by the rail-
road company were loaded with coal
which the railroad companies in the
East refused to accept for -transpor-
tatiOn.

DR.. BARROW COMPLETING PER-
SONNET OF HOSPITAL UNIT.

Orders to complete the personnel
and organization of Base Hospital
Unit No. 40 have been received by
DR.. David Barrow, in Lexington,
from the Office of the Surgeon-Gen-
eral of the United States Army at
Washington, and as soon as the nee
essary authority to enlist the 153
men, who will compose the corps
comes. in, the unit will be ready for
service. DR.. Barrow expects this or
der to come in short time.
If the necessary orders are received
in short time it is probable that i'm
mediate action will be taken on the
application of several Paris and Bour-
bon county men, among them are
Messrs. Douglas Clay and Ireland
Davis, of this city. DIR. LYDIA Pogue
and Mrs. Carrie F. Stone, of Paris,
who will be members of the nursing
staff, are making their arrangements
to accompany the unit when the
start is made from America to La
Belle, France.
Commissions to the medical and
surgical staff of the Lexington unit
are being issued, according to the
surgeon generals letter. The enlist
ment of men in the medical service
was discontinued some time ago and
direct authority is necessary before
these men can be called in. DIR. Bar
row has ESQ men who have signified
their intention to go with him if ac-
copied and as soon as possible he will
mail them notices to appear for en-
liStment.
DIR. Barrow is confident that the
equipment for the hospital unit will
be ready when the men are called.
The status of the men who signed up
and then were drafted is still unset
tied, and ruling by the Provost
Marshal General is being awaited.

CONGRESS PASSES AUTOMOBILE
TAX BILL,

Disposition by the Senate of many
provisions of the $1,000
100000 war tax bill almost cleared
the way for the sharp fight which
probably will begin over income and
war profits taxes.
Among important features disposed
of were the wine and motor vehicle
schedules. The revisions of the Fl.
nance Committee, levying between
$40,000,00O and $4,000, 900 on own
ers of motor vehicles instead of
$68,000,000 on manufacturers, as
proposed by the House bill, were
adopted, as were the increased rates
on wine, estimated to raise $21,O00,-
900 against 100000 under the
House rates.
House provisions levying a per
cent. tax on gross sales of many
manufacturers and designed to raise
also were formerly
eliminated, the new automobile and
other reduced excise taxes being
substituted.
The section now provides the fol-
lowing motor vehicle taxes, payable
by owners of those not used exclu-
sively for business purposes:
Motorcycles, $3.50. Automobiles
costing under $500, SIS annually;
costing between $500 and $3.50
$3.50; costing between $3.50 and
$1,000, $40, with 5 per cent. addi-
tional for each $500 up to $4,000
and $40 for each $500 above $4,000
The tax based upon original list
prices would be reduced by 10 pei
cent. for each years use of the ma
chine up to gross allowance of so
per cent.
