OTHERS CONFESS AND PUT BLAME
 ALL ON WILLIAMS
Clever Detective Work Re suits in Locating Flee ing Automobile Which
 Seemed Hopeless


 clews with which the police au thorities had to work on the case of the killing of little Harry Terrell, the 6-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. H. J. Fer rell of Graymont, whose tragic death, resulting from being run down by an automobile, shocked the community. But these clews led to the arrest of Grover c. Williams, 8 white man employed by the Wofford Oil company, who is now in Jail with a charge of murder en- tered against him.
 The killing of the Terrell child was considered particularly heartless. as the driver of the automobile which sent and speeded away, and for time evaded the officers. The child's mother and father were witnesses to the oc- currence.
 CHAIN OF EVIDENCE
 From the confession of A. l.. Al dridge a fellow employe, and three
 white W omen who were in the car at
 the time of the tragedy, a strong chain
 of evidence was developed
 In addition to the Imprisonment of
 Williams three white women, Della
 Harrison, Leila Elchoglan and Mrs. Par
 rish, and the fellow -employe named A.
 L. Aldridge, are being held at the jail
 as material witnesses against the de-
 fendant. All were in the car at the time of the tragedy, and all have con- fessed.
 Following the notification of the killing to the police, Chief Shirley de- tailed Motor Scout w E. Degroat and Sergt. Eddie Lyons on the case with instructions to drop everything else and devote their entire time to the case. Later he detailed Scout Patterson. While there were many eyewitnesses to the running down of the child, none of them could give other than little information as to the car or it's driver. It was known, however, that the driver was a white man and that in turning a corner to escape the car nearly over turned, which caused the scream from the women. In turning the corner the tires of the swiftly moving car left their imprint and it was found from this that the rear wheels had new non- skid tires on them.
 VISITED ALL GARAGES With these faint clues the officers began their Investigations, visiting the repair shops and garages, and finally learned that Mitchell car had been recently equipped with these kind of tires Every Mitchell car in the town was investigated and finally car used by Manly and Lexis Williams as a jitney to and from Dolcito was identi- fled as the one that corresponded with the evidence in the hands of the de- tectives.
 l By this time Chief Shirley Joined in the hunt and on Thursday night the two Williams boys, their cousin, Grover I Williams. A. l.. Aldridge and two other men were arrested and taken to the office of Chief Shirley. In the mean time the officers had learned that the ] Williams boys had rented their car tc
 Grover on the night of the tragedy and were able to locate the three womer 1 who were in the car with Williams and Aldridge.

NEWSPAPERS REJIARLE.

Hartford, Sept. 9.---Athough the food administration revised wheat conserFation program has been in op~ eration since the first of the month, the office of Robert Scoville, federal food administrator of Connecticut, has been almost overwhelmed with in quiries about the rules which were ex- pliCity stated in plain language.
 Many of the inQuirers say they hav3 been warned not to accept what they see in neWspa pers as official and au- thentlC information bout the food ad- mi1lStratiOn's regulations, but in every instance they have been answered that whatever Connecticut newspapers pub fish as coming from Hartford or from Washington may always be accepted as reliable and that Connecticut de7l- CTS are only liable to err when they attempt to follow regulations published in Boston or New York papers and applying to Massachusetts or New York Jurisdictions. In some instances Connecticut newspapers have confused dealers in this state by reprinting sons of the New regulations which may or may not bc in operation in the Con necticut jurisdiction, but such Care1 have become infr9duent of late

What will American Merchant Ships
Do For Women? ~

Women are becoming more indie
pendent economically. Anything that
affects American living standar ds
and national prosperity is important
to them as bread-winners and home
managers, American earning power
comfort are based upon transporta-
ton. We all know what transporta-
Ition does for us daily in the form Of
railroads. Merchant ships are simply
transportation in another form-the
American merchant marine will carry
our railroads around the globe on
our own trade routes, increase our
intake of products from other coun-
tries, increase our sales of farm pro-
ducts and factory goods abroad, sta
billie our business, and employment,
and wages. Every America woman
who is her own bread winner will
beneft directly, and every American
woman charged with maintaining a
home and family will benefit to
even a greater extent, because great
er earning power, comfort and stabil-
lty will benefit those she loves as well
as herself.
American women can begin pre-
pairing now 10 1nUelllSenlly support
the American merchant marine. They
can study our maritime past and learn
why the American flag disappeared
from the ocean for two generations.
They can study the new American
ship-building industry created by
war, and learn how war is giving US
ships once more. They can study
other. nations, and world trade, and
languages. They can assist greatly
in the task by learning facts them
selves, and by imparting them to
Others. Thanks to the intelligence
and open-mindedneSs of American
women they have already organized
themselves to study public questions,
disseminate information, and act
thereon. If the women of the nation
interest themselves in ships as they
do in other public affairs the Ameri-
can flag will never again disappear
from the worlds trade routes The
American merchant marine will be
an important center around which to
work for the American merchant
marine now, so it will later work for
them

SAVE COAL By USING WOOD IF
POSSIBLE.

Mr.. James HI. thompson, Federal
Fuel Administrator for Bourbon
county, has received the following

wood for fuel to replace coal, and
thereby effect a greatly-needed saw

Dear Sir:-You have doubtless

however, note that he calls upon us
All to relax none of our v,sllance

saved by the use of wood as fuel. Of
course this latter is difficult to obtain,
the few men left on the farms are
almost wholly occupied with the task
of feeding those who fight or make
but now that the corn is
cut and the wheat is in there must be
days Of comparative leisure. There
will at least be days when the ground
is too wet to break for future crops
and on those days wood can be cut
for fuel. Let this wood be burned in
the daylight hours and the coal will

There are portable saws in almost
every neighborhood which can be
utilized with such cooperation as ex-
lists along farmers at threshing time.
Cooperation will secure fuel for the
needs of community buildings, such
as schools and churches. The wood
once cut, trust the neighborhood
children to get it in.
Wont you please try to inaugur-
ate movement in Bourbon county to
increase our coal supplies by substi-
tuting wood as a fuel, asking each
community to foster it's development?
Even the top of tree will have fuel
value. Help the good work along.

DEMONSTRATION OF POWERFUL
FIRE FIGHTER.

A public demonstration of a re-
markedly powerful fire fighting ma
chine was given in this city Wednes-
day afternoon, when an automatic
pump auto-truck, built for service at
Camp Knox, near Stithton, for the
Government, was exhibited on the
court house square. The machine was
in charge of Mr.. John Aherns, of the
Cincinnati fire department.
The machine was placed at the
FIRE hydrant at the corner of Main
and Third, and line of hose, with
/ " inch nozzle, was put into opera
ton. A solid stream of water was
shot over the tower of the court
house, a height of several hundred
feet, with as much ease as the old
tpye machines play a small stream
on aStwo-story building. At the same
time another stream of smaller di-
mansions was playing from the same
machine on another side Of the
building. The machine was moved
TO the corner of Main and Fourth
streets. where two large streams
were thrown over the top of the five
story First National Bank. The
test was a most convincing one In
every respect. At the conclusion Of
the demonstration, which was wit
messed by Mayor January, member
of the City Council and citizens. the
IRE fighter proceeded under its owr
power to Camp Knox, by way o.
Georgetown and Frankfort.
