APPEAL IS TAKEN ON
wHISkEY DECISION
Decision Of Judge Evans at Louisville
on Whlskey Case Goes to Cir.
cult Court of Appeals. .

The fight of liquor dealers against
wartime prohibition centered in Gin
cinnati Friday, when 1t was announced
appeal would be filed in u. s. Circuit
Court of Appeals from decision of
Judge Walter Evans, of U. s. District
Court at Louisville, who has enjoined
the government from preventing re-
moval of tax-paid whisky from three
bonded warehouses.
Judge Evans has granted the Gin
cinnati Distributing Co.. of Covington
and two Louisville concerns permis-
sion to dispose of stocks, holding GER
tain portions of the wartime provis-
ions are unconstitutional
The Cincinnati company refused to
say early Friday whether it would
make sales across the river from Gin
cinnati.
Dispatches from Louisville said
considerable liquor was being sold
surreptitiously. but few sales were be-
ing made openly, pending decision of
the upper court on Judge Evans de-
cision.
One report from Louisville was that
Cincinnati bootleggers were on the
ground waiting to stock up goods al
$40 case.
Sales of whiskey were not made in
Covington and Newport Friday, al
least not by saloonkeepers who are in
associations.
They have been advised by their at.
torneys to hold off because the govern
ment has announced it will prosecute
selling in the event the higher courts
reverse Judge Evans decision.

Opie Read VIII Deliver His Latest
Lecture at High School AuditO-
rum TOnight-Many
Tickets Sold.

Opie Read is like no one else in the
world. His very presence lends a
strange enchantment to his stories.
You may have enjoyed his books in
the solitude of your library; per-
chance you have been stirred by his
plays, or spent delightful half-hours
in the reading of his clever character
sketches; but unless you have sat
within the sound of his voice, and
heard from his own lips the quaint
tales that originate in his brain, you
do not fully appreciate the splendid
genius of the man.
On the platform Mr. Read shines
with brilliance all his own. Every
where he is received with enthusiasm.
The indescribeable witchery of his
words, the charm of mis- voice and
manner, the influence of his personal
ity, combine to weave the magic spell
that holds his hearers enthralled. One
minute roaring with laughter at some
humorous bit, the next staring at the
speaker through hot, binding tears
with a feeling that you will never
smile again-only to break into fresh
screams of laughter Immediately after
you realize that this remarkable
man has the power to sway his au-
dience at will.

His program is varied and each num-
ber is gem. In all his readings he

Commission WILL GO INTO
MATTER OF FILTRATION


certain matters, the most important
of which is the question of securing
proper return upon the sum that may
be invested in the filtration plant. The
Water Company further states that If
filtration plant is not desired, then
it will, nevertheless, proceed with the
reconstruction Of its plant, SO as to
provide for the city the requisite
quantity of water We feel, however,
that quality as we'll as quantity is to
be considered, and that filtration
plant is desirable thing, If not ne
cessity.
OF course, the Water Company must
ascertain as soon as possible just what
improvements are to be made, so that
1t will know what financial arrange
ments it must make. Consequently,
the question as to whether or not n
| filtration plant is to be constructed
must be determined in the near future.
Therefore, your committee has re-
quested the Water Company to submit
a written proposition covering all of
the foregoing suggested improve
ments, with proof of the company's f.
nancial ability to make said improve
ments. This the Water Company has
agreed to do, and as soon as received
this committee will lay such PROPOSE
ton before the municipal authorities
and the public, with such recommen-
dations as the committee may feel
called upon to make.
In the meantime, your committee
will secure the best legal advice that
1t can obtain as to whether or not the
Water Company can be required, un-
der it's charter, to install and main
tain at its own expense, filtration
plant. When obtained this legal ad-
vice will be laid before council and
the City Attorney.
If your committee is not already so
authorized, it requests that it be given
competent lawyers who are in no
way connected with either the Water
Company or the City, and whose opin-
ion will be entirely disinterested. 1t
is necessary that we should know, as
definitely as possible, the nature and
extent of the rights and obligations of
both the City and Water Company, so
far as the erection and maintenance OF
a filtration plant is concerned.
In conclusion, we wish to emphasize
the fact that the present serious sit
uation can not be remedied In day
, or week. 1t requires careful handling
and proper spirit of fairness on the
part of the Water Company, the City
Government. and the public. We deem
i it only fair to state that the commit
e tee believes that the gentlemen who
D are now In charge of the Water Com
pany are doing all in their power tc
e meet the situation. We have beer
q given proof that these gentlemen have
I had many difficulties to overcome
both inside and outside of the Com
pany: and 1t has only been within thu
: past few weeks that the Compan!
: could be reorganized so as to put 1t IL
r a position to definitely formulate plan
g for the future. The above Is not sal,
r In excuse OF the gross mismanagemen
n of the past, but merely as recogni
g ton of what the committee believes !

The undcrcurrent of tsolly's thoughts,

had had to go away to camp, and why
he went without letting her know, and
whether she should ever hear from

where he was. She told herself that
really it did not matter, she should
not care If he didn't care enough about
her to even let her know.
And then one day, as she talked to

ly looked up to see Matthew standing
at the edge of the crowd, his brown

noon in his big car he found a radiant
Polly waiting for him. She was so
radiant that there seemed to be some
new, added quality in her charm.
There was something new and little
strange about Matthew, too. After
they had sruck into quiet road where
other cars were few he slowed down
suddenly and began to speak, slowly,
as though he had been thinking some
thing over for long time.
"POcy," he said, Il wonder-if you'd
think-I was the sort of fellow girl
could marry? A fine girl with lots Of
character and the very sweetest ma
ture in the world? 1 don't amount to
much, I know, but you see I've fallen
in love"
Polly almost saw the bright day
fade before her eyes. He was think
ing of Mary Curtis, of course. But
she swallowed bravely and tried to
smile before she answered.
"Of course" she said. "You-why
you're the very finest boy I've ever
met. Any girl ought to be glad"
Try as she would, Polly could not
finish the sentence. But then, she
did not have to, for Matthews arm
had stolen about her.
"Could you marry me, Polly? I've
loved you always, but when l see how
sweet and good you are, and how
different from other girlS-When saw
you in that store wearing uniform,
Polly, and working for your country
instead of acting as though it didn't
matter-I-could hardly wait for
chance to ask you to marry me, even
though I'll have to go to France"
"rll marry you'll" Polly murmured
through a mist of happy tears. 81
