MANY MEN GETTING WORK

The plan of Chief Of Police Harry
A. Ort to make all the idle men about
the city go to work is showing splen-
did results. Some of the men have
been employed to clean off the streets
and cutters and others have been
given employment at the tobacco
warehouses, redryers and other plants.
There is no reason for anyone to be
out of work in Maysville at the pres
ent time and if a fellow simply re-
fuses to work he will be brought into
Police Court, given heavy fine and
be forced to work for the city free OF
charge. This is no time for anyone to
be idle and Chief Ort is to be COM
mended on the action he has taken,
and to back him up he has the full CO.
operation of Mayor Russell and the
City Council, as well as the heart sup
port of the public in general.

FORTY ARMED MEXICANS MAKE
RAID ON Ell PASO; ONE AMER.
ICAN SOLDIER HURT

Ell Paso, Texas, January 25-Forty
armed Mexicans crossed the Rio
Grande in the southern part of Ell
Paso tonight. Soldiers and policemen
armed with rifles were rushed to the
scene. Fifteen minutes later, firing
was still in progress. Private Linn,
on outpost duty, has been brought in
with a bullet wound in his body.
After firing several hundred shots
the Mexicans retreated across the riv-
er. A company Of United States in
fantry on guard at the Santa Festre
international bridge fired at the re-
treating Mexicans, but it was not
known if any was hit. Patrols have
been sent north and south along the
river in anticipation of an attempt by
Mexicans to rush the guard on the
theory that the men on duty would be
attracted by the firing in Ell Paso.

TAYLOR BONE DRY Bill
Passes Kentucky House-Shlpment Of
Liquor Into Dry Territory for Bey.
erage Purposes Is Prohibited
and Fine Is Provided for
Persons Who Receive
or Solicit Orders
For Its Sale.

Frankfort, KY, January 25-If the
Kentucky house Of representatives
concurs In the action Of the senate all
the prohibition territory Of the state
will soon become as dry as the pro-
verbal bone. The senate today pass
ed the Taylor "bone-dry" bill that
prohibits the shipment of liquor into
dry territory for beverage purposes
and lays penalty on receiving liz
uor in dry territory and on solicit
ing orders for the sale Of liquor in
person or through hand bills and pos
tiers. The vote was 26 to 4.
Those opposing passage of the bill
were Senators Burton of Grant coun-
ty, Huffaker and Perry Of Louisville,
and Rayburn Of Lewis county.
Under the present law the amount
that may be shipped to an individual
in dry territory is limited to one gal
Ion of whiskey and five gallons of
beer in one month and must be only
for personal use.
The Taylor bill that the senate pass
ed today is so drastic in its provisions
that some Of the senators expressed
their doubt as to its constitutionality.
Some of them said that it could not
be construed to prevent man from
personally bringing in liquors for his
own use. The bill as originally drawn
did not even permit liquors to be
brought into dry territory for sacra-
mental, medicinal or scientific pur-
poses, but when it was proved that
this would be in conflict with existing
state and federal laws, the bill was
amended SO as to permit importation
for these specific uses.
The present members of the state
prison commission and the tax COM
mission were renominated today

on the western battle front.
The official war office reports put
out IN Paris and London today told
only Of heavy artillery duelins along

Further light upon the hesitancy
Of the Germans to renew their twin

captured from German officers.
These show that the German losses
were terrific IN the first stages Of
the Big drive Some divisions lost
as much as 20 per cent. of their
