CIV Associated Press,l

N6y ASSOC1dlCu EESSSsy
Murray, KY, Jan. 12-In line with
his announced intention to give the
mob "a chance to lynch the governor
of Kentucky frst," Gov. A. o. Stanley
arrived here early yesterday and took
charge of the situation growing out
of threats made by mob
against the lives Of Circuit Judge
Charles Bush and Commonwealth At
torney Denny Smith.
A special train on which Governor
Stanley arrived was left standing with
steam up ready to take them from
Murray if further demonstrations
were made against their lives.
Open threats were made on the
streets that any attempt to remove
Judge Bush from Murray or to pre-
vent the trial today Of Lube Martin,
a negro, charged with killing Guthrie
Duigiud, a white man, would place
the governors own life in danger.
Il have come here to uphold law
and order and to protect this court
with my own body If necessary" said
Governor Stanley to q crowd which
filled every available space OF the
circuit courtroom.
With almost every available member
of the Kentucky National guard on
the Mexican border. he was forced to
rely on such forces as he could sum
mon to his aid here for the mainten-
ance of order.
He deputized seventy-five citizens
and ordered them to prevent at all
costs any outbreak, His next move
was to make an address to the crowd
which filled the courtroom when court
convened.
"A little more than q year ago." he
said, 81 put my right hand on a Bible
and called to God to witness that as
chief magistrate of Kentucky and sup
porter of the law. would maintain
its integrity. / have come here today
to plead with you to allow the law to
take it's orderly course and to declare
that ! am here to uphold the law and

.FOODpRICESATC CHICAGO
FIXED BY ADMINISTRATOR ON
SUGAR, sPUDs AND FLOUR.
Was Before" Declares DR.. Harry
A. Garfield.

Chicago.-For the first time in the
history of the United States, a govern
ment representative has fixed the
fair" price of certain foodstuffs. Har
ry A. Wheeler, food administrator of
Illinois, Tuesday announced the prop
er price for sugar, potatoes and flour.
Grocers for the most part have agreed
to put the prices into effect
Mr. Wheeler's list gives the price
which the retailer should pay the mid
dleman and the price which the GUS
toner should pay over the counter.
Other prices for staples will be an
nounced as quickly as possible.
The price fixed for flour is from
s2.95 to 1913 for quarter barrel sacks,
for which retailers were asking s3.15.
One-eighth barrel sacks the price was
fixed at s1.49 to SLIGO, as against s1.59
asked by the retailer. Five-pound
sacks were listed by the food admin
istrator at &c to 81 cents, and retailers
were quoting them at 35 cents.
Potatoes jumped in prices overnight,
and were quoted by the food admins
traitor at AZ to 46 cents per peck,
while the grocers were selling them at
40 to 43 cents.
Sugar prices were fixed at 7A to 81
cents per pound. while dealers were
asking 9h and 10 cents. The scare
ity of sugar, however, has compelled
retailers to pay fancy premiums in or
der to get enough to supply their
trade. Sales in nearly all cases were
limited to two pounds to customer
when other goods were purchased.
Strangers going into a store and ask
ing only for sugar were refused.
Pittsburg. Pa.-Declaring that just
so long as the power of fuel dictator
was bestowed upon him he purposed
to see that the production of coal in
the United States is kept at maxi
mum, and even higher, DR.. Harry A.
Garfield addressed a gathering of
more than 1000 operators from all
over the country here.
Goal shall be produced as it never
was before" he said, and factories
and homes will be plentifully sup
piled"
DR.. Garfield's address was brief He
urged the coal men to forget their
differences and put themselves solid
ly as United States citizens behind
the government in it's prosecution OF
the war.
Warning the operators of the gov
ernment's power to take charge of
the mines. he said:
Some persons resent the idea. but
is it more drastic to take that action
than for the government to take the
nations young men?"
1t was expected that DIR. Garfield
would announce when the higher wage
scale would go into effect and also
touch upon some of the details of the
coal business. This he did not do,
saying he wishes only to impress on
the operators their duty to the gov
ernment in this crisis
