PRESIDENT WILSON FLATLY
COMMENDS STANLEY'S
CANDIDACY.
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The
who1e-hearted support of Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United
States, goes out to Gov. A. o. Stan
ley in his campaign for the United
States Senate.
Anyone who doubts this may 20 to
Hickman, KY, and call on the Rev.
Z. l.. Miley, pastor of the First Chris
tlan church, of Hickman, who has in
MS possession personal telegram
from the President expressing in I'M
mistakable terms Mr. Wilson's desires
regarding the election of Gov. Stan
ley.
Here is the Presidents telegram:
THE Rev. E. l.. Miley, First Chris
tan Church, Hickman, KY: I earn
estly desire the election of Gov. Stan
ley to the United States Senate. I
supposed that my whole-hearted sup
port of him was well known through
out Kentucky"
Exactly where the Republican pa
pers in Kentucky are going to land
with their claim that the President
is not back of Gov. Stanley is difficult
to see.
Not only has the President sent the
telegram mentioned above, but the
Courier-Journal correspondent has
authoritative information that the
President stands ready and willing to
furnish anything in the nature of an
| Endorsement that Gov Stanley wants.
In fact, it is known that the Presi-
dent will shortly repeat in another
form the earnest wishes that Gov.
Stanley be sent to the Senate to take
the seat left vacant by the death of
Ollie James.
: The effort of Republican papers to
make capital out of the letter the
President wrote Senator J. G. w.
Beckham necessarily falls fiat. The
letter was merely a letter wishing
Senator Beckham good luck on his
departure for Kentucky to assist in
opening the campaign.
Taking it for granted that every
body in Kentucky knew he was for
Gov Stanley, the President did not
attempt to go into details on the sub
ject.
! Now he has expressed himself to
the Rev. Mr.. Miley, and this will be
! followed by statements which will
show with equal conclusiveness how
he feels toward Gov. Stanley and his
candidacy.
! Another charge of the Republican
press is that the purpose of Governor
Stanley's recent VISIT to Washington
was to be beg an Endorsement from
the President AS a matter of fact,
the question of an Endorsement was
not mentioned at the half-hour con-
ference Giy.-Stanley had with the
President.
The President exhibited the keen
est interest in the Kentucky situation
and expressed sincerest desire for the
Governors victory. AS indicated in
the Presidents telegram to Mr.. Miley
both the President and Gov. Stanley
took it for granted that the Presi-
dent was known to back Gov. Stan
ley to the limit.
Gov. Stanley, 1t was learned here
Wednesday, has never applied to the
White House for an Endorsement.
Nor have his friends made any effort
in that direction. The Presidents
telegram to Mr.. Miley went in re-
Spouse to an inquiry from Mr.. M1ley
as to the Presidents views regarding
Gov. Stanley's candidacy.

BOURBON MAN ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH MURDER.

Detectives Malcolm Brown anl
Waller Marshall, of the Lexington
police force, came to Paris, Monday
and accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
JAMES Gibson, of this city, arrested
WiH G.. Kiser, SON of G. Wat Kiser
and VIII Kearns, also of this county
charged with the killing of billiard
Tudor, in Fayette county, Saturday
night.
According to information at the
time the shooting took place near the
Haggin pumping station, on the Rus
sell Cave pike, in Fayette county
The details of the affair have not
been learned, as attorneys for the
men implicated advised them to say
nothing for publication Tudor was
taken to the Good Samaritan Hospi
tai, in Lexington, where he died
Monday night. He was employed on
the farm of r. E. Upton, in Fayette
county. His. dying statement was
taken a short time before he expired.
Kiser and Kearns, both of whom are
about nineteen years old, were taken
to Lexington and placed in the Lex
ington Jail.
i The examining trial of Kiser and
Kearns was held before County Judge
Bullock, in Lexington, yesterday
hol fn q
Fayette Circuit Court on a $4,000
bond, while Kearns was discharged.
Bond for Kiser was furnished by his
father, Mr.. George Watson Kiser. and
his attorney, Judge Denis Dundon, OF
Paris, and he was ordered to appear
before the Circuit Court.
In a statement made by Tabor to
Coroner, Magistrate Dodd and Lieut.
of Police Donlon, of Lexington, ne
said that he and man by the name
of Levi Willis were driving down the
Russell Cave pike from the Kearney
and when they got to the concrete
bridge at Russell Cave, just below the
Haggin pumping station, they were
stopped by Allen Jones, colored
man who worked with them as a farm
udlu tuO 1lPtOh loA LIZ ~ S>.~N
that Jones explained to them that ne
had ridden out from the crossroads
with two young white men who were
standing by buggy. while their
horse was feeding. These two white
boys who were with the colored man
had supply of whiskey and asked
Tabor to take drink with them.
They had several drinks and the
whole partey were getting intoxicat-
I'd. They finally became involved in
an. argument which wound up in
free Tight, in which he had whipped
one Of the boys, neither one of whom
he knew personally. Taber said that
the other boy then declared, MY
name is Kiser, and thate's not ID
man in the crowd that can whip me
and that he drew a revolver and shot
him (Tabor.) This statement, the
police say, was fully corroborated by
Allen Jones.

INFLUENZA SITUATION HERE RE-
MAINS "ABOUT THE SAME ~

There have been no new develop
ments of particular interest to the
public in the influenza situation here.
TWO or three new cases have been re-
ported to the Board of Health. and
all those that have been previously
reported are doing well. The Board
OF Health and the physicians of the
city and county have, the situation
well in hand, and it is thought that
the threatened epidemic will not ma
terialize. f.5t =
DR.. C. G. Daugherty, local Health
Omcer, stated yesterday that there
was nothing Of special interest tore
port, and that the Board Of Health is
very well pleased with the aspect of
things as they are at present. He
said that, as a matter of course, the
disease had not been stamped out,
but that the situation was somewhat
better than it has been. DR.. Daugh-
erty also said that he was gratified
to note the ready compliance of the
public with the regulations imposed
by the Board with the view of safe
guarding the public health, and that
to the spirit of cooperation the peo-
pie had shown was due a. great deal
of the credit for keeping down the
disease. He was very optimistic re-
garding the prospect for the future,
and said that in about ten days per-
haps, the danger may have been pass
ed. AS compared with many other
places Paris has been very fortunate,
he stated, and it was to be hoped
that this good state of affairs would
continue unabated.-
The damp weather of the past two
or three days has increased the num-
Der of colds and bronchial troubles,
and it will be wise for everyone to
keep an eye to their personal well
fare, and promptly treat the very
first appearance of a cold. If neg
lected it might invite the way to in
f1uenZa or pneumonia.

SURRENDER OR REMOVE AUTO
Gratis" SAYS PRESIDENT
TO GERMANY.

President Wilson has answered
Germany's latest note regarding
peace. In brief, he informs Germany
that the only armistice he would feel
justified in submitting for considera-
ton to the allied Governments would
he one which would leave the United
states and the allied Powers in a po-
sition to enforce any arrangements
that may be entered into and to make
2 renewal of hostilities on the part
If Germany impossible, To this end
the President has transmitted his
correspondence with the present Ger
man authorities to the allied Powers.
"Not peace negotiations, but surren-
der" will be the demand, if the Unit
ed States has to deal with the mill
fary masters and the monarchial au-
thorities of Germany. The following
is the Associated Press story from
Washington:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Presi-
dent Wilson has Informed the German
government that he has transmitted
its correspondence to him seeking
an armistice and peace, to the allies
with the suggestion that if those gov
ernments are disposed to effect peace
on terms and principles indicated
their military advisers and the mill
fary advisers of the United States be
asked to submit the necessary terms
of such an armistice as will fully pro-
tect the, interests of the peoples in
volyed.
He says that should such terms of
armistice be suggested, acceptance by
Germany will afford the best con-
crete evidence of her unequivocal &C
ceptance of the terms and principles
of peace.
"The Presidents reply to the last
German note was made public here
and will be transmitted to Berlin
through the Swiss legation immedi-
ately.
TT says that having received the
solemn and explicit assurance OF the
German government that it unreserv-
edIy accepts the terms of peace and
principles enunciated by him and
that the desire to discuss the details
of the application emanated not from
those who hitherto dictated the Ger
man policy, but from ministers who
speak for the overwhelming major
ity of the German people and having
received explicit promise that the hu-
name rules OF civilized warfare will
be observed by the German armed
forces the President feels he cannot
decline to take up the question OF an
arrnistice with the allies.
"The President says that Significant
and important as the constitutional
changes seem to be which are spoken
of by the German foreign Secretary
it does not appear that the principle
of a government responsible to the
German people has been yet fully OF
permanently worked out. He reiter-
ates that the nations Of the world &c
not and cannot trust the word Oh
those who have hitherto been the
masters Of German policy and gives
warning that If the United States
must deal with the military masters
and the monarchiaI autocrats OF Ger
many now or later, it must demand
not peace negotiations but surren'
der" ,-s
