RADICAL CHANGES IN
PROPOSED REVENUE LAW

A bill. wbcih will in all probability
become law. was finally approved in
the House of Representatives Ways
and Means Committee at Washington,
Tuesday. by unanimous vote.
The bill is one designated to raise
81 .S00.0 100000 for war revnue The
proposed bill makes some radical in
creases in many lines, and will hit the
newspapers hard, especially. IL will
add $40 100000 to charges against the
of the country under the
new system based upon the present
parcel post zones, and newspapers
would be required to pay five per cent
on all advertising collections. The let
ter postage rates would be increased
from two to four cents, and postal
cards from one to two cents. Most OF
the new revenue would come from the
incomes. excess profits and inheritance
taxes and additional tariff duties, but
the levies of the bill would reach many
other sources.

WARRANTS TO BE
ISSUED FOR STOCkMEN.

Alleging that droves of cattle driven
through the streets without the proper
number of men attending them, a
Pleasant street housekeeper applied 70
Judge January yesterday for a warrant
of arrest for two prominent Bourbon
county stock dealers, and one from
Nicholas county.
The lady represented to Judge JAM
airy that early yesterday morning three
droves of cattle belonging to these men
were driven up Pleasant street with
only two little negro boys to attend
them. She further stated that the cat
tie ruined her young hedge fence anG
lawn by overrunning them on account
of not having enough men along to pre-
vent them from straying.
The men for whom the warrants
were asked are well-known farmers
and stock traders. The warrants viii!
probably be issued and served to-day,
or as soon as the men can be located.

POLICE ARREST WARRANTS
IN ONE-DAY RAID

In a personally conducted raid on the
colored pool-rooms and other abiding
places of colored loafers in Paris,
Tuesday, Chief OF Police Fred Link,
assisted by Patrolman King, arrested
thirty-two colored men, on a charge of
vagrancy.
When presented in the County CouI t
several of the number proved that they
worked at night, othefs were looking
for work" and the remainder were
ordered to get to work at once or go
TO work for the county.
Farmers are offering the highest
wages in years for labor, and complain
that they are unable to secure farm
laborers at this time, when they are
so badly needed.
Later on Chief Link intercepted
three colored men and two white men
who had alighted from a freight train
in the Paris yards at the Louisville *
Nashville. Upon quizzing them the
colored men told a story of how they
had been induced to leave their homes
in the South on a promise of securing
work at high wages in Ohio. They
were taken, with 1,500 others, on two
special trains to Cincinnati, where they
were turned loose on their own re-
sources. The men managed to make
their way back home as far as Paris.
The two white boys had been working
in a factory in Northern Ohio, which
had closed down. They, too, were max
ing their way back home. They were
allowed to go on their ways.
Al the present time there is no good
excuse for men to be loafing around
the streets of Paris. The demand for
men throughout this section is great,
and almost every week representatives
from other cities are here in search of
men to go to work. Farmers are almost
begging for farm hands, and yet the
demand is greater than the supply.

ATTEMPT MADE
TO ASSASSINATE
THE KAISER
Three Shots Fired AT His
Car By Unidentified Man,
Two Shot Striking The
Tonneau.

ROME, May 10.-Kaiser William had
a narrow escape from an assassin's
bullet while motoring to Berlin, a
Zurich dispatch to the Corrier d'Italia
asserted.
An unidentified man fired three bull
lets at the Kaiser's car, two of them
striking the tonneau. the third going
wild. He was arrested.
The dispatch said the police were
silent on the incident.
The greatest precautions always
have been taken to guard the Kaiser
from attack. When he is at the front
he lives in a bomb-proof house, with,
out any insignia thereon, by which hos
tile aviators might learn of his where
abouts.
CircunNStantial stories have told OF
pecial precautions taken during lis
frequent automobile trips, such as an
extra car made up to resemble bag
gage automobile, in which the Kaiser
actually rides, while preceding it is his
gorgeous automobile, with a man re
sembling the Kaiser seated inside.
The newspaper Corriere d'Italia is
the clerical organ in Rome.

NOTED NEWSPAPER MAN
DEAD IN LOUISVILLE

Mr. James w. Hopper, for many
years associate editor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, and one of the most
prominent men in Masonic circles in
the State, died suddenly Tuesday af-
ternoon at Hord's Sanitarium. near
Louisville, after a short illness.
Mr. Hopper was born in Nicholas
county, Kentucky, November %, 1899.
He was educated at Millersburg and
Bethany Colleges and attained a de-
gree of scholarship in both the classics
and modern learning rarely accorded
to one man. After his graduation in
1859 he became successfully teacher,
lawyer and newspaper writer, the
last finally becoming his life work and
in which he rose to distinction.
Mr. Hopper was the son of John
Hopper and Lucy A. Campbell Hopper.
His mother was the daughter Of John
Campbell, a revolutionary soldier and
a sister of Col William Campbell, who
was known as the Hero Of King }
Mountain" His early schooling was
intermittent, though better than en-
joyed by many of the children OF his
period, and he was able to enter Mil
lersburg College when he was 16 years
old.
After his preparatory course at Mil
lersburg College, where he graduated
in 1859, his collegiate career was
prophetic of the distinction he was to
attain as a writer. In addition to the
required courses he took honors in
French, German, Spanish and Italian
languages and the literature of these
nations.
Mr.. Hopper is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Isabelle Johnson Hopper, to whom
he was married in 1872, one son, Mr..
Leo. Hopper, well-known newspa'
per man of Los Angeles, Cali, and one
daughter, Miss Anna Hopper, of Louis
vile, member of the Courier-Journal
staff
The funeral took place at Lebanon
yesterday, the services being in charge
of the Louisville Masons and Knight
Templar Communicates.

the wind goes right through you. It's
colder here right now than it was in
