KENTUCKY GUARDS
we're IN ACTUAL
SERVICE AT FRONT
Old Kentucky Of Which Mason Men
Were Members Was Divided and
Some Members Saw Active
Serylce-NTain Division on
Way Home.

Frankfort, Ky, November 29-Not-
withstanding the fact that the 159th
infantary, the new designation of the
old I'd Kentucky, is with the 3Sth Di-.
vision, which saw no action, a large
percentage of the enlisted men, who
went to Camp Shelby as members of
that regiment have seen service, and
many long since were reported in cas-
ualty lists.
When the 159th went overseas, out
side the auxiliary units and commits
stoned officers and some noncoms, it
was composed largely of Mississippi
and Arkansas National Army men,
with a sprinkling from Illinois.
The Kentucky volunteers, as far as
the enlisted personnel of line compa-
nies was concerned, largely had been
transferred to other regular and Ma
tional Guard outfits and been sent
across last summer.
The return of the 3Sth Division does
not mean the coming home of Ken
lucky volunteer infantrymen.
The old Sd Regiment, which had
been absorbed into the 159th, largely
when infantry regiments were ex-
panded, also is well represented in the
combat divisions in France.
Maj. c. w. Longmire, of Frankfort
who was in command of one of the
battalions of the 159th, was among the
few commissioned officers who got
over in time. He was assigned to the
162d Infantry, and many of the
Guardsmen served with him. in that
regiment.
1t will be remembered that the band
of the old Second Kentucky was in
Maysville for several days on a re-
CT uiting trip just before the regiment
was taken into the national service
and that many Maysville and Mason
county men-some twenty-five or thir-
ty-enlisted with them while here.

ED. RAND ASKS FOR
DAMAGES AGAINST
COUNTY OF Lewis
Lewis County Contractor Files Suit
Against Lewis County and Flem-
Ing Jones, Another COntrac-
tor, Charging Breach Of
Contract.

Another echo from the Lewis coun-
ty road troubles was heard here this
morning when attorneys for Ed Rand,
who at the last session of the Mason
Circuit Court was acquitted of
charge of conspiracy to fraud Lewis
county in the construction of roads,
filed suit asking damages in the sum
of $4,000 from Fleming Jones and
Lewis county. Attorneys R. B. Wilson,
of Vanceburg and A. d. Cole, of this
city, represent Rand.
In his petition, which is one of the
longest ever filed in the local court,
Rand recites all of the terms of the
contract between Fleming Jones and
Lewis county for the construction of
the Concord Hill road, which has been
the matter of litigation for many years
in Lewis county. He states that he
entered into a contract with Jones
whereby he sub-let the stone and con-
crete masonry work and steel and iron
work in connection with the construc-
| tion of bridges and culyerts along the
| road to Rand. Rand states that by the
terms of this contract Jones agreed to
| release any and all of his rights in
the work mentioned but he charges
that he later settled with Lewis coun-
ty.
The plaintiff states that notwith-
standing the agreement of the defend
ant, Fleming Jones, as set forth in his
contract with the plaintiff, to release
any and all rights he may have had in
the work mentioned therein to the
| plaintiff he did on or about August
| 10, 1918, and on divers and sundry oc-
casions prior thereto, break his con
tract, in that he entered into writ
ten agreement with Lewis county
whereby in consideration of $76S he
undertook to release his co-defend-
ant from all claims and demands aris-
| ing out of the contract between Jone
| and the county which was then IN It'll
cation and that the defendant Lewis
county, Notwithstanding its obligation
to the plaintiff, under and pursuant tc
the contract between Lewis COUNT
and Jones, has failed and refused to
comply with it's contract in that ii
has failed and refused to settle with
the plaintiff in full for the construc
ton of the bridges along the road
The plaintiff, Rand, claims to havr
been damaged in the sum of $4,000
and asks for judgment against Flem-
ing Jones and Lewis county each and
both for the sum of $4,000 and his
costs.

COURT OF APPEALS
TO review HARRIS
CASE DECEMBER 6
Stay Of Execution In Local Murder
Case Is Issued and Court Of APP
peals Fixes Date For Hear
ing Appeal of Lewis Har-
ris' Sentenced TO Die.

The Kentucky Court of Appeals yes
terday fixed Friday, December 6, as
the date for the hearing of the appeal
of Lewis Harris, convicted of murder
in the Mason Circuit Court and SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair at
the Eddyville penitentiary on Satur-
day, December 2Sth.
Circuit Clerk James B. Key has just
received from the clerk of the Court
of Appeals a stay of execution of the
Judgment of the local court until the
matter is finally settled by the Court
of Appeals.
The higher court probably will not
return their decision in the case for
several days after it is submitted. If
the local court is sustained, the de-
fendant will be given a period of thir-
ty days to file grounds and motion for
a re-hearing. The motion for a re-
hearing will have to be acted upon
and if the hearing is refused the Gov
ernor will set the date of execution
If the higher court reverses the local
court, the case will be returned here
for re-trial.
It will be remembered that Harris
was found guilty of the murder of his
wife by jury during the last term OF
the Mason Circuit Court He is now
a prisoner in the Mason county jail
and will remain here until after the
decision of the Court of Appeals.

WILHELM FORMALLY
RELlNQUISHES RIGHTS
Germans in His Party Think He VIII
Soon Resume His Throne.

Amsterdam, November 30-William
Hohenzollern has definitely renounced
all future rights to the crowns of
Prussia and Germany and has releas-
ed all officials and officers from their
oaths of fealty, according to the text
of a document signed by the former
emperor, which is quoted in a tele-
gram received here from Berlin.
The abdication decree, according to
the message, expressed the hope that
"the new regent" would be able to
protect the German people against
anarchy, starvation and foreign supre-
marcy. The use of the word regent
in the message is commented upon
here as possibly significant.
1t is understood at Amerongen that
the ex-kaiser has been awaiting the
arrival of his wife before going else
where. Germans in his suite believe
he will return to Germany and are
optimistic enough to think he will
resume the throne.
A member of Count Won Bentinck's
household said today that the for
mer emperor was greatly moved
when his wife arrived, and seemed
particularly delighted. One of Herr
Hohenzollern's servants is reported
to have said that his master was
much brighter" and to have added:
Things are looking better for u.s."

VALUABLE FISH
 WASTED BECAUSE
 OF POOR GRADE
Department of Commerce Says That Lack of Pre- pairing Fish Is the
 Main Cause.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O-The De partment of Commerce in it's annual report referring to the fish bureau and it's work and handicaps, says: For years the Bureau has suffered for lack of facilities for practical demonstrations and experimentation in the methods of preparing and pre- serving fishery products. The fish cry industries, particularly those con. cerned in canning and otherwise pre- serving food products, labor under the serious drawback of ignorance of the scientific principles underlying their operations. There is also an underconsumption of fish, due in part to the inferior quality of much that is placed on the market and in part to the ignorance of the con sumer regarding the dietetic quali- ties and peculiarities of the several species. with consequent improper preparation for the table. As re. suit there is an annual loss of hun dreds of millions of pounds of valua-
 
 ble food fish. With adequate equip equipment and personnal provided, the Bureau has held that it could render effective aid in developing methods for overcoming such difficult ties and that important results could be achieved in some fields within short time.
 You have approved and authorized an allotment of s125,000 from the fund for national security and de- fense for a laboratory and its equip, ment for the conduct of work of this character and for a temporary per: sonnel. This is being pushed yigor- ously, and investigations have begun which will yield important results in available larger quantities of

BUSINESS MAN SAYS TIMES ARE
 GOOD IN JUNEAU
J. P. L. Graves Says Trade Is Better and Conditions Improving Here; People
 Want Only the Best.

There has been altogether too much talk about discouraging busi- ness conditions in Alaska" said J. P. l.. Graves, manager of the Juneau Music House, discussing business con ditions. "The Juneau Music House has done a better business this year than last, and we are looking for ward to even better results. We would have done better this year if it had not been that we had soma delay in delivering goods, but even that condition is now being overcome. Factories are now running full blast, and the people will get better ser vice in the future"
 Mr. Graves says his business also denotes that we have a high class of people in Juneau. We have proved that the people are music low ers,- and they want the best. That is shown by the demand for the bet ter and higher cost musical instru- ments, records and music that con stantly exists here"
 We have found," said Mir Graves, that the people prefer the classical productions of the worlds greatest artists. Juneau's homes are filled with the most costly and higher grade musical instruments, records and music, because they want the best
 There is no place in the country where the people are more prosper ous or where the outlook for business is better than in Juneau. The people here should be glad that they are here, and be jubilant over the fact that our people are coming back and over the prospect for improved con- ditions next year."

 NOW IN EAST; AT
 ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Liberty Rooster, which was raffled for the Red Cross at Juneau and other Alaska towns for the beue fit of the Red Cross was last heart! from at Rochester, N. Y., where if was being raffled for the benefit of that organization. The rooster was started on it's way from Ruby, Al aska, and was raffled there, at Ne mana, Fairbanks, Dawson, Whitehorso, Skagway, Juneau, Petersburg Ketchi- kan and other Alaska towns. From Alaska it went to Seattle and from Seattle it proceeded East. In each instance the winner of Nthe rooster had him sent to the next town and raffled again. A record of the var ious rallies was printed on the cage in which the rooster was shipped.
 The rooster that has been the center of so much interest is large Rhode Island Red, and was furnished free transportation and food through out Alaska. He made his home at the Gastineau Hotel while in Jul neau The raffle in this city netted $109 50, mostly given for tickets by employees and guests at the Gas tineau, though the newsboys sold some tickets throughout the city. That was last October.
 Accounts from Rochester, N. Y. chronicle the rooster as in good con- dition, and oblivious to his notoriety. and chiefly interested in his menus.
