Political Parties to Use Phono.
graphs.

New York, Aug. II. Photographs
will be used by both the Republican
and Democratic parties in the ap7
preaching presidential campaign, it is
announced, the plan embracing a pro-
gram which will permit the residents
of small towns and remote hamlets to
hear the speeches of eminent orators
at the same time that the records are
released in large cities.
The photographic campaign will
be opened September l, when records
containing utterances by Attorney
General Palmer, speaking for the
Democrats, and others registering
the speech of United States Senator
Lodge, voicing the sentiments of the
Republicans, will be released. These
speeches will be reproduced at clubs
societies headquarters, churches,
MONDAY meetings and in the homes
of the party workers.
Following the releases of the
speeches of Attorney General Pal
mer and Senator Lodge, other rec
ords will be distributed monthly and
it is expected that meeting places
and homes throughout the country
will echo and reecho with the words
of the orators as conveyed by means
of talking machines. The extent of
the part which monographs may
play in the campaign can be estlmat-
ed by the statement that two manu-
facturers of the machines are known
to have more than 100000 phono-
graphs in use in the United States.
Among the speakers scheduled for
photographic oratory by the Demo-
cratic national committee are Pres
ident Wilson, Secretary of War Ba-
ker, Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
ident Wilson, Secretary of War Ba-
former Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and William j. Bryan.
Former President Taft, Major
General Wood, Elihu Root, Chauncy
NJ. Depew and United States Serfa-
tors johnson and Borah are on the
list of speakers chosen for talking
machine oratory by the Republican
national committee

Children Of Maysville Schools To Be
Weighed and Measured Regularly
and Their Development to Be
Noted on Report Cards.

The latest model "Y" scales for the
weighing and measuring Of children
have Just been installed In the city
schools and all of the students OF the
Maysville schools are now being
weighed and measured by their teach
ers. A report on the correct weight
and height of the child will be put
on their report. cards so that the par
ents can tell from time to time .wheth-
er the child is developing physically
as a child of the same age should de-
velop.
A schedule of the weight and
height of children Of various ages as
prepared by experts is hung near the
scales and the teachers from time to
time can ascertain whether the child
is developing as 1t should or not.
This is quite new feature in the
local schools and is splendid one for
parents should know that their chill
dren are developing physically as we'll
as mentally.
These scales were purchased with
money the schools have made through
entertainments and lyceum course

provements in the city schools which
assist in making the local schools
abreast with the times and compare
favorably with any public schools in
the state, are made possible by means
of this extra fund obtained by the
school children themselves or by iy-

EDDINGS WAIvESAND
IS HELD TO GRAND
JURY WITHOUT BAIL
Henry L. EddIngs, Confessed Slayer Of
Hen Schumacher, Waive an Ex-
animation and WIN Go Direct
to Grand Jury ON jan
uary eth.

The Police Court room was crowded
this morning and standing room was
at premium for there we're many
persons who wanted to get o look at a
real murderer. Persons left their
work to attend the examination which
lasted but for few minutes.
Eddings was brought from the Of
fee of Chief of Police ort into the
court room before Judge Purnell and
County Attorney Rees stated that Ed
dings had not yet employed a lawyer
and that he wanted to waive an exam
nation and go directly to the Grand
Jury with 1t. The witnesses were rec
ognized by the court to appear before
the Grand Jury on Tuesday. January
8, and Eddings was held without bail
on the warrant charging him with
murder In the first degree.
When Eddings was taken from the
court room to the police office by De-
tective Kifmeyer, the confessed slayer
met Mr.. Frank Bromley, superintend.
ent of the Cotton Mills and shook
hands with him. Mr.. Bromley and
Eddings talked for short time and
Eddings continued to claim that he
was compelled to shoot Schumacher
He said that he was now very sorry
that he had done 1t but that it coult
not now be helped.
On Sunday afternoon Chief Ort tool
Eddings to the Cotton Mills and thu
slayer went over the scene Of thu
killing with the officers, explaining II
detail to them just how he shot ant
killed the night watchman. Officer'
say he did not deviate from his origi
nal confession made in the Lexington
| Jail and that he continues to stay Will
his original statements claiming tha
they were the exact truth.
| Mrs. Schumacher called at the jai
Saturday to see and talk with Edding
but they talked only in the presenc'
Of jail attendants. Eddings is said u
have told Mrs. Schumacher that h
was afraid OF her husband because sh'
had often told him that Schumache
had intended to kill him. To this Mrs
Schumacher is said to have replie'
that she did not remember of havinl
told him this. Eddings then rem!nde'
her that she told him of Schumacher
threats many times to which Mrs
Schumacher replied that II she ha'
ever told him that her husband in
tended to. kill him. she did not remem
ber 1t.
| Eddings has only about $12 Il
i money and will not likely be able 7
employ a lawyer to defend him Il
Circuit Court which will make
necessary for the court to appoin
some attorney to defend him. II
understood that Eddings wants
speedy trial and II is more than likel
that he will be given a trial at tn
present term of the Mason Circui
Court II he desires 1t SO soon.
