KELLEY IS
AFTER SQUIRE BOWEN
Writes Letter to Chesterfield Council
Suggesting Drastic Legal Proceed
ings I'm Matter.

Chas. r. Kelley, executive secre-
tary of the state council of defense.
has written a letter to J. B. Watkins.
of the Chesterfield council OF defense.
con plaining of the action Of Magistrate
Bowen in reference to the trial and
conviction Of four women and three
men for unlawful conduct at house
on the Petersburg turnpike in Chest
erfield county. The violation alleged
by Mr.. Kelley is that the magistrate
after imposing a fine on the parties,
turned them loose on the pubic in
the face of the law which provides
for the examination and punishment
of persons convicted OF prostitution
or OF keeping house of ilI-fame or
designation and for commitment Of
such persons to city farms or hospi-
tails"
Mr.. Kelley. following the statement
of the case, concludes his letter IN
the following language;
Whether you desire TO have Bowen
indicted by a grand jury for misfeas-
ance or summoned before you for a
disciplinatory lecture Is a matter for
you or your council to decide. but
wish you to know that you have power
10 do either, and I hope you will exer-
else that power.
The other matter relates to the
constabulary of the county. This very
roadhouse which was recently raided
has long been a notorious place of III
fame, and If the recent raid had been
few days earlier or few days later,
in other words, on Saturday night, in
stead of some other evening, the num-
Der OF persons would probably have
been quadrupled Just why the mill
tary police did not select Saturday
night is a matter Of wonder to me,
because they know all about the con-
| ditions there, which were described
| by "a member of our council to the
military authorities som etime ago. 1t
certainly seems TO me that your con-
stabulary have been negligent. and I
suggest this also as matter for your
| council 10 investigate"

-FOUR NATIONAL league
MANAGERS NEWCOMERS

The task of building UP the Vest
ern clubs OF the National league Heo3
with four new managers.
None of these pilots has as yeti
served two years as manager.
Mitchell and Mathewson are .serving1
their second seasons, while Bezdek
and Hendricks are in the midst OF
their first full pennant races as pilots.
The unlimited money bags behind
the Chicago Cubs put Fred Mitchell
in a commanding place when he first
took the reins of the Chicago club.
But during his first season, as sue
cessor OF Joe Tinker, Mitchell was
forced to do lot of experimenting.
so that this season afforded him his
first real chance.
Christy Mathewson's success with
the Cincinnati Reds last year was
phenomenal. He lifted the team out
of the doormat class and made it e.
real factor In the 1917 race. It Ia o.
factor again this year. and the an-s
swer appears TO lie with Matty aione,l
as he is the first Cincinnati manager
who has been given free hand to do
as he pleased.
Hugo Bezdek took hold OF the Pr
lots reign at Pittsburg late last sea-
son. succeeding Jimmy Callahan. He
put new spirit into the team and
made such an impression that he was
| signed for the 1918 season. So far,
he has made good with a vim, and
Pittsburg fans are enthusiastic. N
Jack Hendricks, highly successful
in the minor leagues. inherited what
looked like a strong ball club from
Miller Higgins. but the Cardinals "a
far have failed to make much of an
impression. However. Hendricks haa
scarcely had time to get acclirnated.
and 1t must be remembered that the
Cards have been hit many a hard
blow by the draft and enlistments

Patriotism Is Keynote.

Patriotism was the keynote of the
opening session Of the Kentucky Sen
ate, and each mention of the great con-
fiict in which this country is engaged
with the European allies was received
with-profound respect by the members
of the body and those who filed the
gallery. BY a unanimous vote of the
entire membership the Senate went on
record, approving the course pursued
by President Woodrow Wilson and the
administration in attempting to stamp
out autocracy and to use every effort
to conserve that the men of this ma
tion now in the trenches can be pro.
tected while fighting for the cause of
democracy.

A look of shame was on his face,
The sparks dripped from his eyes
He had sent his resignation in,
To the thrown above the skies.

And he said It with a sob
There are others that outclass me,
And want to give up the job,
He'll isL't in it with the land.
That lies along the Rhine,
I'm old and out Of date,
And therefore resign.

Or to Sultan Abdul Hamid,
Or to some such men of War.

The spot love SO we'll.
But feel that I'm not up to date

At a birthstone humble bee
And muttered, "I'm outolassed
