thought she danced with New the
night Of the murder.
This developed today when the dis
trict attorney announced he would
insist that Miss Pritchard visit New
in his cell and see If she could iden-
tify him. She will even be permitted
to dance with him in Jail, it was de-
clared. If it will aid in the identifica-

The defense today refused to dis
cuss any feature of the case. Many
rumors of Miss Lesser having had
other suitors than New, and even of
one of these having warned New not
to be attentive to her, were in circu-
lation. So far, however, none of tile
alleged rivals FOR Miss Lesser's favor
has been identified.
Indications were today that the dis
trict attorney is planning to demand
the death penalty for New. On the
other hand, despite his written con-
fession. New will plead not guilty
when arraigned Friday, 1t was said.
The trial, according to court officials,
probably will be held in September.

SELL TAGS TODAY
TO AID ST. JOHNS

Early returns from the sellers of
tags in the interest of the st. Johns
College extension campaign indicate
that the drive in the downtown sec
ton today will be a considerable fac
tor in swelling the fund Of $4,000
which it is hoped can be raised by
July %. Later in the day numerous
.other workers will take up the job
of disposing of tags.
Last night there was a dance at
Carroll Hall to aid the drive, and
during the evening a committee went
to Baltimore and discussed with
Cardinal Gibbons the plan of stimu-
lating interest among Catholics. The
drive has the full appreciation of the
prelate, and as a result of the talk,
a meeting of the Catholic pastors of
this city is now being arranged to
arouse enthusiasm in the fight be-
tween the parishes for the honor of
raising the greatest sum.

CAN'T DIVORCE LEAGUE
FROM TREATY OF PEACE
DECLARES SENATOR COLT

The league Of nations is inseparable
from the peace treaty because the
treaty cannot be enforced through
the league" which is absolutely nee
essary to secure the present and
maintain the future peace Of the
world" declared Senator Colt, Repub-
lican. Of Rhode Island in an address in
the Senate today. *
Upon the question OF reservations.
I reserve my, judgment for q full dis
cuBsion and consideration" Colt an
nounced, however. Although ''ih ia
vor of the principles embodfAd in the
league of nations" he said That did
mott mean that he had reached a de-
cision that the league should be rati-
ned in the precise form in which 1t is
now presented"
Colt was one of the Republican Sem
ators who conferred with the Presi-
dent at the White House today.
America cannot divorce the league
from the peace treaty" Colt said.
There are only two courses open to
us: we can remain in the league and
become responsible for the enforce
ment Of the terms Of the peace or we
can quit Europe and notify the allies
that our responsibility is at an end;
but If il is unthinkable for us to de-
sert England, France, and Italy when
the world is in chaos, we must become
a member of the league as providing
the only machinery for the restora-
tion of peace and order.
"The League of Nations in its es
sence is simply an association Of free
nations" Colt continued ats object
Is to prevent war through interna-
Iional cooperation. Broadly speak
ing IN cOvRrs three basic princinIes
obligatory conferences when war is
threatened. compulsory submission of
every International dispute to some
form OF arbitration or investigation
and report before resorting to war,
and reduction Of ornaments.
There is no conceivable solution of
the great problem Of preventing war
except along the lines of closer union

the principle Of cooperation or fed

MOTHER OF NEWS VICTIM

TRAGEDIES IN HER LIFE
By wINIFRED BLACK.

LOS ANGELES, July 17.-Friedn
Lesser's mother is a little better, and
they are beginning to hope that she
is going to live after all. They have
not been sure OF that for one hour
since she was called to the door just
before the gray dawn and told that
Frieda was dead. They aren't sure
even yet, but there is some comfort
in the hope.
Miss Saunders, the nurse who is
taking care Of Mrs. Lesser, and Mrs.
Putnam, the neighbor who is help
ing, got Mrs. Lesser out Of bed and
helped her to walk into the little liv-
ing room and sit for awhile in a big
chair upholstered for the time with
sofa pillows.
For days she has been unable tC.
lift her head from the pillow, or raise
her poor, tired hands from the coun-
terpane, but suddenly, as sometime
happens in cases Of nervous collapse
she moved, opened her eyes and
wanted to get out of the bedroom,
where she has. lain like one stricken
by a mortal blow ever since Harry
New killed her little girl and the cor
oner came out to the house just be-
fore daylight and told Mrs. Lesser
about 1t.

WHAT ABOUT IT7

A couple Of weeks ago at the sug-
gestion Of a most excellent gentle
man, we suggested a big celebration
for the soldier boys for the Fourth
Of July, and requested that COM
mittee be appointed to take charge
of the matter and make it big day
for everybody. We named Mr.. H. G.
Hoffman as Chairman of the Com
mittee, and he very promptly said
he was ready to cooperate in any
way he could, but that he had men,
toned it to several people, and that
everybody seemed to want to put the
real work on the other fellow. The
gentle who made the suggestion, the
newspapers land all three are will
ing to do their part) will not benefit
one cent by the celebration and if
the merchants Of the town are not
live wires enough to see the benefits
for them, then as far as we are con-
cerned the matter can go by the
boards. We have one, if not the best
city its size in Kentucky, but how
badly, oh, how badly do we need
awakening to our real opportunities
and the great chances for advance
ment we are letting go.

GROWERS GIVEN
WARNING
Head Of Large Tobacco Compan,
Warns Against 0ver-Production
Coming Year.

A couple of weeks ago the Lex
ington Herald edited by Mr.. Desha
Breckenridge advised the farmers
and growers to be careful about in
creasing their facilities for handling
large tobacco crops, advising them
not to be ver-confident on account
of the very high prices being paid
this year as they have no assurance
OF high prices for the coming sea-
son. In the issue of yesterday the
Herald reproduced letter from j.
p. Taylor, of the j. P. Taylor Co.,
of Richmond, Va, and one of the
largest leaf tobacco dealers in the
country, and we are taking the lib
erty Of reproducing this letter for
the benefit of the growers Of this
section, without comment on our
part:
~ want to congratulate you on
the editorial in your Monday, Feb
ruary Bird, edition, headed "Tobac-
co Outlook" Your advice is so
sane, good and practical that l
can't refrain from writing you. If
you can persuade your farmers to
follow same it will mean many dol
lars in their pocket and a most sat
isfactory result in every way. The
present abnormal prices are a great
temptation to farmers to over-pro-
duce and if they follow this policy
it will certainly bring low prsces
again in the near future. / hope,
therefore, that you will continue to
keep this matter before them as 1

IN The PRICES
High Grade, CoIory Tobacco Selling
Well, But Slight Break In
Cheaper Grades.

Although weather conditions have
been unfavorable, the three ware
houses continue to receive consider
able tobacco. There has been a
slight break in the prices of the low
and medium grades, and while they
are hardly as high as they were a
few days ago, the prices received
are in most instances acceptable, if
not entirely satisfactory to the
growers and we have heard no com
plant regarding the high grade to-
bacco. Those in charge of the ware
houses say there is quite large
amount of tobacco yet to be stripped
in this and adjoining counties. As
soon as they can do so the growers
should get their tobacco on the mar
ket.
