MAYOR ORDERS POLICE TO AR.
REST ORDINANCE VIOLATORS.

Owing to the strict orders
issued some time ago by Mayor
January and Chief of Police Link to
the members of the police force of
this city, there is now a shortage of
idlers in the city, and only a few of
the "doubters" remain without en-
ployment. Some of them have tried.
so they say, to get work, but few
seem to be of the opinion that Mayor
January, Chief of Police Link and
Police Judge Martin are only joking
about being able to furnish them
with employment.
Some of these "doubters" are wo-
men, strong, able-bodied, who can
work as well as anybody else, and
they will be sure to obtain employ
ment with your cousin Tommy Taul
if they don't get busy soon. Chief
of Police Link has again issued Or
ders to the Paris police to make a
roundup of all loafers. Most of
those who have had warnings pre-
viously have secured employment or
are remaining close at home. The
new State law on vagrancy says that
every ablebodied person Tits Ian
guage is not confined to the word
many must put in at least six
hours a day at work.
Orders have also been issued to
the police to see that the ordinances
governing speed of autoists on the
streets of Paris and of the parking
of machines in Paris are more strict
ly observide. The order also states
that many complaints have come in
in regard to women of questionable
character walking the streets at
night, and that these must be ar
rested and presented in Police
Court. The police are admonished
to keep a strict lookout for violators
of the speed laws in the city and to
arrest them and have them brought
into court.

HELD TO THE GRAND JURY ON
GRAND LARCENY CHARGE.

In Police Court Wednesday after
noon Nose Fisher, a lame colored
boy, who has filled many different
positions in life in Paris, was held in
the sum of 5000 to appear before the
Grand Jury at the June term of the
Bourbon Circuit Court to answer to
a charge of grand larceny. Nose
was unable to produce a bondsman,
and was placed in the care of Jailer
Taul.
The clothing store of I. L. Price
& Co., on Main street, was burglariz-
ed Tuesday night and a quantity of
clothes and gents furnishings taken.
The thief effected an entrance by
forcing the rear door of the stock
room on the second floor, and de-
scending to the lower floor, where
he helped himself with rather good
taste. Suspicion pointed to Nose.
who was seen on Wednesday morn
ing decked out in new Easter suit
He was placed under arrest by Chief
of Police Link, and upon having his
hearing before Judge Martin, pleaded
guilty to the charge, and gave de-
tailed account of how he had gotten
into the Price store, and just what
goods he had taken. The stolen goods
were recovered.
Nose has played in rather tough
luck in recent years, having twice
sion having a narrow escape from be-
ing burned to death when an over
heated stove turned over on him.

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR RED CROSS
STILL COMING IN.

This will ever be memorable
week in the history of Paris and
Bourbon county, in the matter of
Red Cross work. In after years.
when peace has been declared and a
war-torn world has settled down to
rebuild itself, the story of the cam
paign for the Red Cross in this citv
and county during the week of May
2O-27 will be told over and over
again, and applauded wherever the
hearts and minds of men and women
have been attuned to the wonderful
results for good the campaign
wrought.
Contributions have been coming in
since the close of the one-day drive
of last Monday, and it seems that old
Bourbon will go to the front with
one of the largest oversubscriptions
OF the whole district. Other counties
with more wealth were less diligent
and were longer in reaching their
quota. 1t seems that Bourbon county
people suddenly became imbued with
the idea that they must reach the
top at once, and the way they sent
their contributions over the top was
good to see and to hear. Several
large contributions have been receiy-
ed since Monday night, and the end
is not yet. Owing to the fact that it
was almost impossible to give a COM
plete list of the contributors, and
the further fact that it would require
over page of THE NEWS to print
them we have made no effort to OBJ
tain them. Suffice it for the purpose
to say that each and every one from
the sixty-five cent subscription of the
patriotic old lady on Cypress street
to those running in the thousands
constitute a star in the crown of un-
selfishness. The slackers and the
grudging giver will ever be marked
men and women.
On Wednesday the fund had
reached a total of s34;500, away
over the amount asked for, and the
prospects were that it would go much
higher yesterday. The workers were
still busy in the county and city pre-
cincts, and many of them stated
that the desire to give for "the great
est of all mothers" seemed to amount
almost to a passion. AS we close
our forms last night the fund had
reached total of approximately
$500.

COUNCIL MEETING.

The City Council met in regular
session last night, and a great deal
of business was transacted. The
question of tax levy for the coming
year came up and was laid over to
next meeting. Messrs. Ossian Ed
wards, Dan Peed and A. B. Han
cock were appointed a Board of Su-
pervisors. After report is re-
ceived from them the levy will be
made.
A report of Mr.. Weiss, consulting
egineer, was read and received.
The city called on the Paris Gas &
Electric Co. for a detailed report and
statements of its affairs-what the
plant would invoice, what was paid
for current from Lexington and what
the operating expenses had been for
period of the last six years. A
number of other demands were also
made of the light company.

TO DISCOURAGE THE USE OF
FOREIGN-MADE GOODS.

Mr.. Arthur B. Hancock. of Paris.
Chairman of the local Council of Ma
tional Defense, has received the fol-
lowing letter from the State branch
National Council of Defense, at Lou
isville, with a request for it's publ
cation in the local papers. The let
ter deals with an important war
question, which it is desired to bring
to the attention of the people of the
city and county. The letter follows:
Louisville, KY, April 26, 1918.
ITO the County Council Defense:
"Gentlemen:-The War Trade
Board is appealing to the business
interests of the country and the pur-
chasing public for cooperation in
restricting imports and exports to
bare necessities, in order to release
badly-needed tonnage for the trans
pOrtation of soldiers and supplies.
1.-THE success of this movement is
vital to the safety of our fighting
forces in France. And the success of
this movement is largely in the hands
of the retail merchants of this coun-
try.

to you to do two definite things
which will contribute to the success
of the undertaking, to-wit:
"G) To request every merchant
in your county to discourage the
consumption of imported goods,
pushing forward, in their stead, sub
stitutes of domestic origin when
such substitutes exist; and to re-
frain from ordering ahead supplies
of imported goods in cases where
the stock on hand is sufficient for i'm
mediate needs.
"(2) To secure from every mer-
chant of your county an expression
of willingness to comply with this
request.
For your information, and by way
of suggestion, this matter was placed
before the merchants of Louisville in
in the form of a letter sent to the
members of the Retail Merchants
Association, signed by the officers of
that Association and the Kentucky
Council of Defense, and bearing, at
tached, pledge of cooperation to
be signed by the merchant and re-
turned in the next mail.

 T suggest" MT. Asauith said, ito the house that in the common inter- ests of the government them mselves, the army, the state, the allies and of unhampered prosecution of the war to set up tribunal of inquiry which from it's constitution and power would be able to give prompt, de- cisive and authoritative Judgment. l matters there has been a genuine and honest misunderstanding"
 Mr. Bonar Law suggested that he knew of no members of the house who were not either friendly or un- friendly to the government and would not start with prejudice
 Mr. Asquith said, II am sorry to hear the chancellor of the exchequer as leader of this house and custodian and trustee of it's great traditions,
  to suggest that you cannot get five men who are not so steeped in party prejudice that upon a pure issue of fact they cannot be trusted to give Judgment, I leave it there.''
 The ex-Premier then said
 "A distinguished general who for good or bad reasons has ceased to oc- cupy an office he held for two years has 1ffcr he nff lenged the statements made by two Ministers during the time he was in office. During that time he never challenged those statements, when he not merely had access to official in- formation, but to the Ministers them selves"
 The suggestion was made by MT. Asquith that an investigation be made by a party committee of five mem- bers, which probably would be able in two or three days to reach a deci- sion that would be respected by the House and the country.
 What is the alternative" he asked.
 Get on with the war c. B. Stan ton, a labor member, interrupted. This interjection was greeted with loud cheers.
 MT. Asauith responded that the best way to get on with the war was to clear away misconceptions and mis- understandings which might have no foundation, but created doubt in the mind of every one.

 Sir Edward Carson deprecated an inquiry either by two judges or g, spe- cial committee, but would, if con- pe1led to choose between them, pre- fer the latter He besought the house to take stock of where they stood, and also themselves, whether they were being of service to the coun- try or the Allies by a continuance of the debate.

and devotion of MT. Scoville and Mr. Landers.
 When the history of the war is written, it will not be complete unless space is devoted to the alI-absorbing topic of food production and conscrV- atiOn, and in that space must appear the names of Mir. Scoville and Mr. Landers, who have impressed on their fellow citizens the necessity of pro- viding not only for the needs of Amer ica, but also of the Allies. Food will win the war has been the gospel of these leaders and so convincing have they preached it that fields and pantry shelves are laden with the munitions of victory.
 Close cooperation with the authori- ties at Connecticut Agricultural col lege has been the program of the food administrator and the committee. on food supply and the college trustees believe public and fitting recognition of this should be given. It is with the purpose of expressing their appre- citation so the whole nation may know of it that the trustees decided to con- fer the degrees on the captains of the food army.
