Two Bills Returned By Grand
Jury for Criminal
Libel.
JUDGE BUSH EDITORIAL
Grand Jury Completes Its
Work and Adjourns
Finally.

The grand jury completed its work
Saturday afternoon and adjourned
finally after a session of two weeks.
Another batch of indictments, some
of them of importance, brought the
total number up to about so. Two
separate indictments growing out Of
the Courier Journals attack on Judge
Bush were returned. One is against
Claude w. Perry, State news editor
of the Courier-Journal, and the other
against the Courier-Journal Compa-
ny, alleging that they criminally Ii
beled Circuit Judge Charles H. Bush.
Mr.. Perry is charged with Undue
ing" the Courier-Journal to publish
an editorial criticising Judge Bush in
connection with the Lube Martin MUIR
der trial at Murray, Ky. The indict-
ment against the Courier-Journal
Company alleges that the intent and
tenor of the editorial in question was
to disgrace and dishonor and in
jure" Judge Bush. Much cores
pondence followed the publication OF
the article in the Courier-Jonrnal,
which the paper refused to retract.
In letter written by Denny Smith,
Commonwealth Attorney, it was
broadly intimated that the courts
would be opposed to-.
This is the case in which Governor
Stanley made a hurried night trip
from Louisville to Murray for the
pu pcs, of re som lily taking cha Iee
of the situation. The grand jury also
returned statement, signed by all
the members, in which they express
our fullest confidence in Judge Bush
and our firm belief upon that occasion
he conducted himself as fearless,
upright and honorable Judge and that
any reports to the contrary are false,
malicious and libelous.
In the case of Frank Parker, who
had been in Jail several months and
who proved to be a troublesome pris'
oner, no indictment was found. he
was charged with forgery and during
his incarceration made one escape and
was caught trying to. make another
a few weeks ago. The grand jury
reported that the evidence was insult
ficient to indict.
Charges against Dave Long, col,
for assault, and Link Kendrick, col
ored woman, for malicious shooting
were also dismissed without finding
bills.

A FURTHER
RETIREMENT
Of Germans Admitted al
Berlin on French
Front.

In Persia the Turks are receiving
hard usage at the hands of the Rus
slams according TO Petrograd. In
northwest Persia the Russians have
captured the town of Sahna and the
Ottomans who were driven out of
Hamadan are still in retreat. In Asia
Minor, along the Sivas road the Turks
attempted to 90 on the offensive hut
were repulsed.
No action of great importance has
been reported from any of the other
theaters of the war. The Germans
near Nouvron, north of the Aisne
have been engaged in a violent artille-
ry duel with the French. Northwest
of Rheims and near Bezenvaux attacks
were attempted but were repulsed.
The French, on the other hand carri-
ed out successfully several surprise
attacks on German trenches. Berlin
admits the retirement OF the Germans
before the British near lrles, cd Sat-
urday.
On the Russian front there have
been only minor operations and artil-
lery operations. There is no news
concerning the situation in Rumania.
Artillery actions are in progress
along the entire Austro-Italian front.
An official dispatch reports the sink
ing of the Danish steamer Rosborg of
1874 tons while on a voyage from
Baltimore to Denmark. Six members
of the crew were killed. The dis
patch does not state whether the
steamer was sunk by submarine or
mine.

Elected President by Biggest
Vote and in Freest Ballot
ing Country Ever Knew.
VOTING DONE ON SUNDAY
Congressional Elections Held
But Results Not Yet
Definitely Known.

Mexico City, Mex, Mar. 12.-Gen-
eral Venustiano Carranza was Sunday
elected president of Mexico by what
is believed to have been the largest
vote ever cast in the republic.
Although the voters had the privi-
lege of writing in or declaring any
name they desired, General Carranza
received all but few scattering bal
lots. The estimated vote cast runs
all the way from several hundred
thousand to a million. The presi-
dental election Sunday was provided
for in articles adopted by the constitu-
tional assembly which met at Quere-
taro. Many of the old residents de-
clare that this was the first real
election ever held in the country.
Reports from various parts of the re.
public indicate that there was no dis.
turbance or intimidation.
| Mexico Will now nave c0nStltu-
tional president for the first time
since 1911, when Francisco MaderC
received more than 100000 votes.
General Victoriano Huerta called ar
election in 1914 and declared himself
elected, but later nullified the election
on the grounds that an insufficient
number of votes had been cast.
The election yesterday was simpli
fed by the fact that there is no vic,
president under the constitution. |
will be some time, however, before
the returns of the congressional cleo
tons are definitely known.

son Lot Purchased Ten
Years Ago.

Architect John T. Waller is now at
work on the plans for the new apart
ment store of j. H. Anderson e Co.,

the Woodwork company and the new
building will front AZ feet on Main
and run around to Ninth, with a front
age opposite the Cherokee building.
1t will be three stories high and
equipped especially for their business.
Mr.. Waller expects to have the
plans ready soon, when bids will be
opened and the contract let for the
building to be finished before the end
of the year. 1t will be provided with
handsome show windows on both
fronts and the upper floors will be
reached by electric elevators.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
she Paper Highwaymen.

Newspaper owners are watching
wiz interest the federal grand jury
inquiry in New York into the past
behavior of news print manufacturers.
\ )ne phase Of the situation is the por-
tofof the antitrust act which permits
snose who have been injured by the
operations of a convicteN Monopoly to
obt3ii, damages from that onopoly.
This would mean that in theBvent Of
a conviction newspapers which have
been paying exorbitant prices for
their paper would be in position to
demand restitution. This would come
easily in the event of indictment and
conviction. II would not be so simple
by any means should the government
fail to obtain both, for instead of con-
viction establishing the basis for a
later judgment, the aggrieved news
papers would be compelled to prove
their own case exactly as in civil
suit. standing on its own merits. II
has been suggested that if the depart
men, of justice abandons its grand
jury investigation il should turn over
to the publishers the evidence it has
gathered to aid the publishers in a
fight Of their own. The manufactur-
ers virtually admitted their guilt and
ave allowed the federal trade com
Mission to fix their schedule of prices
)r six months at saving OF about
10 ton. They were anxious tc
lave prosecutions stopped, but nc
promises were made to do this. The
gang who robbed the publishers Of
$30,OOO,000 in one year will resume
operations in September unless the
courts act.

London, Mar. l2-Bagdad, thgs
chief Turkish city in Mesopotamia-
and formerly the capital of the emp
pire of the caliphs, has been captured
by the British forces. Announcements
of the capitulation of the city was
made this evening by the British Off
cial bureau
The statement was received on re-
ceipt of a telegram from General
Maude saying the British forces haEf
occupied Bagdad early Sunday morn
ing. No details of the capture OF fix
city were contained in Gen. MaudeHSs
dispatch.
Apparently the occupation was ef-
fected without resistance and with
only slight losses. Even if the Turks.
succeeded in extricating all their
forces the loss of Bagdad is a grayEs
blow to them. Bagdad has beer ths
base of all Turkish operations in Per-
STA. Up to within few days ago the
Turks occupied about 10000 square
miles of Persian territory, but wakfse
the Russians pressing them closely
from Kirmanshah, as well as from
the direction of Erzerum, Indications
point to speedy junction of the Bxia-

METHODISTS
RAISED ENOUGH
Total Of $4,000 Subscribed
Up to and Including the
Service Sunday.

The $50 balance on the new
Methodist church, which the commit
tee on finances started out to raise
last week, was more than made up.
The FIVE captains turned in an ag-
gregate of $l4, 100 and on Sunday the
amount was run up to $4,000, or
1000 more than was asked for.
This with the sale of the old church
property will pay the $4,000 needed.
The extra $1,000 will be applied to
the organ debt the ladies expected to
pay, the stewards formally relieving
them of the obligation.
1t has also been decided TO place
memorial tablets to Mr.. and Mrs.
Price who gave the old church site
and to John C. Latham, who gave the
new lot. They will be located on
each side of the main entrance. These
will soon be received.
The final report by captains was as
