Friends and relatives of Judge

his mind was not altogether right but
for the past few days he is said to
have become worse until it became
necessary that the authorities take
some action.
Judge Wyatt is ex-County Judge of
Fleming county and for several years
had edited newspapers through this
section of the country. He came to

while managed the st. Charles Ho-

CONGRESS SCORED
BY RIVERMEN AT
ANNUAL MEETING
Congress Should Pay More Attention
To the Development Of the Ohio
Says Prominent Insurance
Man.

Louisville, KY, December 1l-An
enlarged program for the association
next year and immediate action by
Congress in making necessary i'm
provements in the Ohio River were
urged by speakers today addressing
delegates attending the twenty-fourth
annual meeting of the Ohio Valley I'm
provement Association in session at
the Seelbach Hotel.
Speakers, including Colonel Lansing
II. Beach, United States Division En-
gineer, and James Lee Smith, of St
Louis, President of the Mississippi
Waterways Association, declared that
the time has come for the Ohio Valley
Improvement Association to deal with
the many waterways improvement
problems in big way.
Congress was scored by Edison c..
Gibbs, a retired marine insurance man
of Cincinnati, for its delay in making
river improvements. For 25 years,
| under the the leadership of Colonel
John l.. Vance, we have labored long
and patiently, and think the time has
come to speak out" said Mr.. Gibbs.
During the "a years, he said, %
dams have been built, while SO dams
are needed. He said the time has
come to ask Congress if the people
will have to wait as long for the bal
ance as they have waited for those
which have been built However, he
said, the dams in recent years have
been coming faster, and this, he said
has been due largely to the work and
efforts of Colonel Lansing II. Beach
the Division Engineer.
Referring to the war, Mr.. Gibbs said
it had been brought to a close in q
short time because it was done thru
unity. and the same unity shown by
the country in the war and applied in
the Ohio Valley to the competition OF
the river improvements would bring
speedy victory there.
The delegates listened to an address
by Congressman-elect Charles F. Og'
den, of the Fifth Kentucky District
who pledged his best efforts to having
Congress speed up the improvements
so much needed on the Ohio River ant
its tributaries.
1t was Congressman Ogden's frs
appearance since his election in No
vember and he was given an enthusi
astic welcome. His statement that HI
would be on the job all the time wheI
there is anything doing in river i'm
provement was applauded by the dele
gates.

WANT LOCAL TRAINS TO
MAKE EXTRA STOPS HERE
Farmers and Tobacco Dealers Anxious
That the c. & o. Railroad Again
Make Market and Poplar
Streets Regular Stops.

Some months ago the c. & o. Rail-
road Company discontinued their re-
gular stops at Market and Poplar
streets for local trains. This was done
as a conservation measure and now
that the war is over and the great
need for the conservation of fuel
seems to have passed, those who were
greatly convenience by these stops
are anxious that the railroad company
again establish regular stops at these
streets for local trains.
A number of farmers and tobacco
dealers have appealed to the Chamber
of Commerce to use their influence
with the railroad company in this re-
spect and today the matter was laid
, before Agent w. w. Wikoff.
1t is pointed out that the stop at
Market street is of great conven-
Iyience to the large number of shoppers
coming to Maysville from the nearby
counties and that the stop at Poplar
street will be of great convenience TO
the large number of tobacco men, who
though operating daily on the Mays
vile market, spend their nights at
home in nearby towns.
1t is expected that the L. & N. will
resume its stops at Lexington street
for the benefit of the tobacco men u.s.
ing their line.

MCADOO SEEKS
EXTENSION OF ROAD
CONTROL 5 YEARS
President Joins Director General in
Asking Continuation Of Federal
Control of Railroads.

Washington, December 11-EXten-
sion of the period of government con-
troll of railroads for five years, until
January 1, 1924, was recommended to
Congress tonight by Director-General
McAdoo. Advantages of this, Mr. Nc
Adoo said are that ii would take the
railroad question out of politics for
the present, give time for carrying out
an extensive program of improve
ments and provide opportunity for a
fair test of unified control to indicate
the permanent solution of the railroad
problem.
"The President has given me per-
mission to say that this conclusion ac-
cords with his own view of the matter
Mr.. McAdoo concluded.
The letter was addressed to Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, and Repre-
sentative Simms, chairmen, respec-
lively of the Senate and House inter
state commerce committees. Mr.. Nc
Adoo explained that to continue gov
ernment operation for twenty-onc
months after formal declaration Of
peace under present conditions wJuld
mean disruption of morale among en-
ployes and officers and could not en-
able the government to go ahead with
Improvements and purchase OF equip
ment. Another alternative. the
prompt return of the railroads to pri-
vate control, without legislation to
permit elimination of the old wasteful
competition, would be "hurtful alike
to the public interest and to the rail
reads themselves" he said and the diff
fculty of obtaining immediate legisla-
tion providing a permanent solution,
is apparent.
There is one, and to my mind only
one, practicable and wise alternative
Mr.. McAdoo continued, "and that is to
extend the period of federal control
| from the one year and nine months
provided by the present law, to five
years, or until the first day of January
1924"

DAWSON URGES ALL TO
Be RED CROSS MEMBERS
National Chairman Returning From
Europe Urges Universal Menu
ship In Organization.

The Public Ledger has been asked
to call the attention of its readers to
a paragraph from the statement made
by Chairman Henry p. Dawson of the
Red Cross War Council on his return
from spending three months In Eu-
rope.
The paragraph deals with the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call for men,
bers to be held in Mason county and
the country over December 1928. 1t
says:
During the week before Christmas,
there is to be Roll Call, giving ev-
cry citizen an opportunity to register
as a member of the volunteer humani-
tartan agency of the American people,
which is recognized throughout the
world as the American Red Cross.
This membership involves no commit
ment beyond the payment of one dol
lar, but this payment will register a
continuance of humane sympathy and
at the same time it will have the very
practical value of contributing to the
continuation of Red Cross chapter
work and to the meeting of the needs
within our own country"
The Public Ledger has also received
word from Lake Division Red Cross
headquarters stating that SO per cent
of the Kentucky chapters had appoint
ed their local Roll Call managers up
to December 2. On the same day, In
diana and Ohio were rs per cent or
ganized in this respect.

FRANCE, Oct. %, Tuesday. (By the Associated Press. Searching the skies ct night for German aviators has become the newest trick of American fliers, who are already alluding to themselves as night air eyes" When the enemy bombing planes came in groups one after the other on Monday night the American night fliers were sent out in force to hunt for them. Among the Americans was Maj liar old Hartney, of Pasadena, Calf. who got nearer to the Germans than any of our fliers.
 q was so close to one boche," Ma jor Hartney said, that I could see his tracer bullets at intervals shot through the air like lightning flashes, and I followed them here and there but I could not see the bOche. Then I maneuvered and tried to get the Ger man between myself and the moon but never could see him"
 These night patrols are continuing even when the weather is cloudy. the American fliers going out in relays until dawn
