ALLEGED FAKE STOCK
SALESMAN TO RETURN
HERE FOR TRIAL
II. W. Norris, Who Is Said to Have
Beat Many Kentucklans Out Of
Several Thousands Of Dollars
VIII BE Returned From
Dayton, Ohio, For
Trial Here.

District Prosecutor B. S. Grannis
arrived in Maysville this morning
from Columbus, Ohio, where he had
been to appear before Governor Cox
and the Secretary of State to urge the
honoring by that state Of requisition
issued upon them by Governor A. o.
Stanley for the return to Kentucky for
trial of II. w. Norris, who is said to
have been one of the most successful
fake stock statesmen who has ever hit
the state Of Kentucky.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago Norris was in Maysyille and
made big hit with the numerous in
vestors of this community. His story
was that he owned more than a thous-
and acres of coal land in Carter coun-
ty, Kentucky, which he proposed to
develop and the proposition was to
organize company here to take over
and develop the land. 1t is said he
promised the Mason county men the
Presidency Of the new company but
they contended for the Secretary and
Treasurer and this is where the plan
balked.
From here Norris is said to have
gone to Fleming county and there he
succeeded In getting about fifteen
thousand dollars. After harvesting a
rich crop of dollars from there he
went to Shelby county and succeeded
in getting good sized sum of money
there. He then left for the state of
Ohio and was not heard of for some
time.
The losers in Shelby and Fleming
county became uneasy about their
money and raised fund to investi-
gate. They found they had purchased
stock in an air castle scheme and they
Immediately raised fund to see if
any of their money could be returned
to them and if not to bring the pro-
moter back to Kentucky for prosecu-
ton.
The investigation made by lawyers
disclosed that the money was gone
forever and search for Norris was
instituted. He was located at Dayton
Ohio, some time ago and Governor
Stanley was asked to issue a requisi-
ton on the Governor of Ohio for his
return.
District Prosecutor Grannis was
employed by the Shelby and Fleming
county men who had lost their money
in the deal and he has just returned
from the capital of Ohio this morning
after arguing the case with the offlc-
ials of that state. The requistion has
been honored and Norris will be re-
turned to Shelby county for trial un-
der an indictment but before he is re-
turned here it will be necessary, un-
der the laws of the state of Ohio, to
hold sort of examining trial in Day
ton and witnesses will be taken there
for that examination next week.

WARRANT ISSUED FOR
ARREST OF MINISTER
ONDEAC0N' REQUEST
Pastor Of Holiness Church Charged
with Breach Of the Peace BY
One Of His Most Prominent
Members = EvangeIlstic
Singer Also Complain.
cd Against.

Warrants were issued today in
Squire Fred w. Bauer's court charg-
ing Rev. ]. c. Wakefield, pastor of the
Apostolic Holiness church and Mr..
McKelley, evangeIlstic singer, with
breach Of the peace. The trials will
probably be held tomorrow at the
Court House.
The warrants were issued at the re-
quest of Stanley Mitchell, one of the
deacons of the Apostolic Holiness
church of which Rev Wakefield is
pastor. Mitchell made complaint to
Squire Bauer that his pastor and the
evangelistic singer came to the Nit
chell home on Sunday and used lang
uage to him in the lpresence of his
wife and family that was calculated
to provoke breach bf the peace. It
Is said that the minister displayed
considerable anger toward Mitchell
and caused quite an excitement at the
Mitchell home. ,.-
The exact trouble will come out at
the trial but 1t is understood that the
trouble arose when Mitchell objecteI
to certain local man occupying the
pulpit az the Holiness church one
evening last week. Mitchell, it is said
contended that the man was not H.
,oensed to preach, did not carry the
necessary credentials of the denomi,
nation to admit him to the pulpit ane
therefore should not be allowed tc
preach sermon for which he had
been advertised. A revival meeting
has been in progress at the Holiness
church for several weeks and during
the past week several various minis
ters have been preaching on various
evenings.
Mitchell's objection to this one
mans preaching is said to have
caused the pastor Of the church to
become angered.
When 1t became whispered about
this morning that the warrants had
been issued considerable excitement
was created over the city and espe-
cially among the members of the Holi
ness denomination. Thinking that pro-
badly the case would be called this af-
ternoon. quite number of the mem
bers of the congregation gathered at
the Court House this afternoon anx-
ious to hear the evidence
Interest is running high. So far as
is known this is the first time in the
history Of the city that warrant has
been issued for the pastor of any
Maysville church. Members of the
congregation seem to be separating
into two cliques-one standing by the
pastor and the singer and the other
opposing them and upholding Mr.. Nit
chell in his action.
Both of the gentlemen in the case
are looked upon as first class citizens.
Rev. Mr.. Wakefield came to Maysville
about year ago from Chicago hav-
ing been in business in the Windy
city. Since his coming to this city he
has conducted himself in manner be-
coming a minister and has made many
friends. Mr.. Mitchell is recognized as
one of the city's squarest, best and
cleanest citizens.
The final outcome Of the case will
be watched with much interest.

Germans Angered
When Told Cost of
Occupation Armies

Berlin, Oct. 17.-Indignation was
expressed today by members Of the
budget commission Of the national
assembly when the national treas
urer announced the cost of maintain
ing entente armies of occupation and
various control commissions would
be from 2,5O0,00O,OOO to 100000
900 marks annually.
Socialist and democratic deputies
declared the entente demands tex
ceeded all limits of moderation" and
charged the troops were indulging in
"extravagancies at Germany's ex-
pense." Four leading Berlin hotels
have been requisitioned for the ac-
,commodation of inter-allied missions
which are expected to arrive next
week. A government official told
the budget committee today that eff
forts to induce the entente to reduce
the size Of these missions had been
futile. A wireless dispatch receiv-
ed here says it is expected the mis-
sions will total 400 officers and 300
men and will bring 200 automobiles
to this city.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys If Back
Hurts or Bladder BOthers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells US that meat
forms uric acid which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your ston,-
ach sours, tongue is coated and when
the weather is bad you have rheuma-
tic twinges. The urine gets cloudy,
full of sediment, the channels often
get sore and irritated, obliging you
to seek relief two or three time dur
ing the night.
TO neutralize these irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get fous'
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness. .t-
Jal Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, and makes delightful effer-
vescent lithiawater drink. adv.

Vandy VS.. Tech.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 1.-THE first
big game of the 1919 football season
will be played here tomorrow when
Georgia Tech, premier southern ele-
ven for the past three years, and
Vanderbilt, which held that title for
many years, meet on Grant Field
| here.
The Tech team admittedly is not
as powerful as the eleven of two
years ago that defeated the Commo-
dores 80 to O., and earned the title
Of the Golden Tornado" Vanderbilt
is represented this year by much
stronger machine than for several
years.
The Vandy backs are expected to
give Techs line, possibly the weak
est point of the Peismann machine, a
severe test tomorrow, and results
should indicate what Tech followers
may expect a week hence when that
line tries to hold the Pittsburgh Uni
versity rushes.
While interest in this part of the
south centers largely on the Vandy-
Tech game tomorrow, there are half
a dozen others of more than early
significance. These include University

New York, Oct. 1.-THE results
of several of the football games to
be played on eastern gridirons to-
morrow will have an important bear
ing upon the final standing Of teams
of this section at the close Of the
season. Pittsburgh and Syracuse,
with records unmarried by defeat,
meet at Syracuse, while Cornell and
Colgate clash at Ithaca, under SINH
lar conditions.
Chief interests probably centers in
the outcome of the struggle in the
Syracuse stadium, for both Pitts
burgh and Syracuse have powerful
|elevens, ambitious schedules for the
remainder of the season and two of
the shrewdest coaches in the history
|of the game.
Colgate appears to be slight ia
vored to win from Cornell due
principally to the decisive defeat ad-
ministered to Brown week ago.
The other important games in the
least Saturday follow:
Brown at Harvard, Swarthmore at
Pennsylvania, Boston College at
Yale, Rochester at Princeton, Penn
sylvania State at Dartmouth, Will
