Acuna is one OF the leaders of the con

The shooting afiray was discussed
with heat in the lower house of con
gress last night The discussion mel
with an immediate protest from the
deputies including General Trevlno and
General Hay.
The opponents of the constitutional
liberals asserted that while the attack
may have been real. Senor Acuna's fol
lowers were trying to make political
capital out OF it and there was nothing
to support such position. They said
that the former minister had naturally
incurred the enmlty OF many while an
officer, and that there was no proof the
attack on him had been of a political
nature.

Murray, KY.
IN EFFORT TO UPHOLD
THE RULE OF THE LAW
Tremendous Ferment Over
Trial of Negro Charged
with Murder

Murray, Ky Jan. lin line with his
announced intention to give the mob a
chance to lynch the governor of Ken
lucky first, Governor A. C. Stantry ar
rived here early to-day and took charge
of the situation growing out of threats
made yesterday by a mob against the
lives of Circuit Judge Charles Bush and
Commonwealth Attorney Denny Smith.
The special train on which the governor
arrived was left standing with steam
up. ready to take the officials from Muir
ray if further demonstrations We're made
against them.
Open threats were made on the street
that any attempt to remove the Judge
from Murray or to prevent the trial to-
day of Lube Martin. negro charged
with killing Guthrie Diugid, white man,
would place the governors own life In
danger. 1t was because of continuance
granted yesterday by the Judge in the
case of Martin that the anger of the mob
was aroused. Immediately after the con-
tinuance was ordered, Martin was spir-
tied away and taken to Paducah for safe
keeping.
When the mob became threatening, the
Judge last night agreed to have Martin
to-day and have the trial pro-
reed Immediately. Governor Stantry, on
his way here, however, stopped at Padu-
cab and ordered Martin retained there.
Il am governor OF Kentucky and that
negro will be taken back to Murray when
say so and not before" he declared.

CHURCH WORK HAD
PROSPEROUS YEAR
First Presbyterian Society Heard Good
Reports at Annual Meeting
Last Evening.

In spite of the stormy night, members
adherents and friends of the First Pres
byterian church gathered in good mum
bers in the vestry last evening to trans
act the business of the society and hear
the reports for the year just completed.
And the reports, every one of them,
would bolster up even the weakest bel
ligerent, for they were most encouraging.
.Comfortab bic balances in the treasures of
the many organizations connected with
the life of the church gave evidence OF a
very successful year in its history.
Tribute was paid to the great losses to
the church the past year, death having
removed two Of the burden bearers, the
late James S. Milne, for many years
clerk of the session and secretary of the
Sunday school, and the late George b.
Milne, whose munificence TO the church
will be missed. Both men had the inter
est of the church at heart, and its well
fare was ever in their minds. Other
losses by death and removal although
severe, have brought pastor and people
into closer relationship, and the spiritual
welfare OF the church will not suffer.
During the year 1915, 10 new members
were added to the church roll, the pastor
at II baptisms, 20 marriages
and "a funerals. The report of David
Stuart, secretary of the Sunday school,
was very gratifying; the total average
attendance per Sunday during the year
was lS2.
Reports concluded. the annual election
Of officials was in order. Managers re-
elected TO serve for three years were:
Alex. Cordiner, John Walker and Will |
lam Stephens; for two years. William |
D. Macdonald; for one year, James V.

elected financial secretary, and David |

urned to their present offices as audit

hurch the coming year. Other minor
,ffices were returned to the present hold

A vote of thanks was given all church
workers. Officials and members of the
hurch expressed their gratitude to Rev.
ir. Grassland for his untiring and un
tinted work among his people, and with
oyal cooperation the good work prom
ses to spread during the year 1917.

"The undersigned members OF the fac

sire to make to the president of the
United States and to the head of the de-
partment of state this formal declaration
of their adherence of the recent out
RACES of Germany in deporting into bond

tion now very generally understood that
no assessment is valid which is not based
upon a valid and legal list. TO attempt
list is like whistling against a 60-miles-
an-hour gale, waste of effort
Prior to 1910 legal grand list was the
exception; to-day it Is the rule. The
advantages which have accrued to the
towns and the state itself growing out
of centralized supervision of the ad-
ministration of the general tax law are
measured in dollars and cents and run up
into the hundreds of thousands, as one
may observe for himself.
BY referring to the table on page one
of the report, one observes that the rev.
enue derived from corporation and inner
itance taxes has increased from S2,204,-
730.5l for the biennial period ending June
30, 1912, to $3,306 1856 for the biennial
period ending June 30, 1916 an increase
of $l,0 ,725.04, an increase of nearly
80 per cent for the two biennial periods.
Attention is called to the editorial por
tion of the report found on pages one to
Is, inclusive. The recommendation con-
cerning the appraisal OF stocks and bonds
of domestic corporation is based upon
the report of the commission on taxation
made to the Legislature in 1908. Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island have a law
very similar to the one suggested, and
Connecticut reaches the same end through
its recently enacted income tax law.
Consideration of that portion of the
report having TO do with the exemption
of farm machinery" found on pages Is
and l6 of the report is also asked. The
says: "The more | have to
do with the administration of the tax
laws, the more firmly convinced | be-
come that tax laws should be so drawn
BIS to disclose their clear intent to every |
taxpayer without pressing upon him the
burden and necessity of applying to a
court or resorting to litigation in order
