". C. 7. U. COMES OUT
OPENLY AGAINST TOBACCO
Having Succeeded In the Prohibition
Of Liquor Temperance Organlza-
ton Turns on Tobacco.

st. Louis, Mo-, November 18.--Gaz-
ing upon the PROSTATE figure of de
mon run" yesterday, the national Or
ganization Of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, in convention at
the Odeon, surveyed the horizon for
other words to conquer" promptly
selected tobacco, whereupon Va new
battle cry arose from an assemblage
of $50 at the forenoon session.
1t is war to the death on tobacco,
the leaders declare.
World prohibition is to be desired
fought for-but that battle is to be
waged in other lands, in the republics
of Europe and countries remote. The
w. G. T. U. in America stands for the
suppression of tobacco. A great pro-
portion of the $1,O0O,OOO that is hoped
to be subscribed is to go into the fight
against tobacco and its uses.
Mrs. Frances E. Beauchamp, Presi.
dent of the Kentucky w. c. T. u, of.
ficially fired the opening gun into the
strongly fortified position of the to.
bacconist.
In her speech she urged her hear
ers of the w. c. T. U. to go bravely
into the open and to abandon thu
guerrilla warfare" of the past few
years.
Let this be national fight and ;
national victory" she said.

DRIVEN FROM HOME
AT POINT Of GUN,
wife SAYS IN SUIT
Wife Asking For Divorce From Her
Husband Charges He Attempted
to XIII Her and Used Fraud to
Get Her Signature to
Deeds.

Mrs. Ethel Poe, OF the county,
brought suit in the Mason Circuit
Court this afternoon against her hus-
band, James A. Poe, asking an abso-
Lutte divorce and alimony.
The wife charges in her petition that
on one occasion the husband threat
ened to shoot her, driving heE from
their home at the point of a, gun
and when she was in the act of leav-
ing in accordance with his command,
he discharged gun at her attempt
ing thus to kill her without any cause
whatsoever on her part.
She says that in 1917 she filed a
suit in the Mason Circuit Court for
a divorce setting up these facts, but
that by the false representations and
Inducements of the defendant she was
induced by him to settle the case on
the representation that he would live
with her and make for her good and
dutiful husband, performing his mar
tial duties in every fitting manner.
She says, however, that in fact these
! representations were false, he design
p, ingly coming to live with her that he
might procure her signature to the
transfer of certain properties, one to
the son Of the defendant by former
marriage, no part of the consideration
of which has been paid and the other
deed to John Henderson. She says
, that her signature to the deeds was
procured by coercion, fraud and de-
ceit and that the procurement was q
part OF we'll laid plan Of the defend
ant to rob her Of her martial rights,
She says that he was again guilty OF
cruel and inhuman treatment toward
her after she had signed the deeds
and that the transfer to the son Of the
defendant of certain property was
done with the knowledge and conni-
vance of the son who was party to
the fraud.
The wife asks for an absolute d.
vorce from the bonds of matrimony
for restoration to her maiden name
Ethel White and that the defendant
stepson, Isaac d. Poe, be required te
answer setting up the real transaction
as to transfer Of property to him. Sh'
also asks for $4,000 alimony and fol
general restraining order restrain
ing him from disposing Of any of hi
property. A general order Of attach
ment was issued against the Bank o
Maysville, Farmers and Traders Bank
State National Bank and the Bank o
Germantown.

the Mill Creek neighborh' I'D, a couple
Of weeks ago and then made his es-
cape into Ohio where he was arrest
ed and held for local authorities, was
brought before County Judge Purnell
late Monday and waving an exami-
nation, he was held for Grand u ry in
vestigation by the Judge and his bail
was fixed at $4,000. Payne was un-
able to give this large bond and he
was returned to the county jail to
await the meeting of the December
Grand Jury.
Payne, by his refusal to return to
Kentucky without requisition, put the
state to considerable expense in hav-
ing requisition papers issued for his
return and in making 1t necessary for
an officer to go to Columbus and then
to Georgetown to bring him back for
trial.
The crime charged against him is q
very serious one and felony. AL.
though County Judge Purnell has
been in office nearly two years, thi!
is the first felony case, aside from Goa
'heaving" cases, to come before hin
for an examination, which speaks
pretty well for Mason county outsid,

MOVEMENT WILL Be
STARTED TONIGHT TO
ORGANIZE A union
Day Laborefs WIN Meet This Evening
to Discuss the Organization Of
Mason County Union for All
Men Who Labor by
the Day.

1t is expected that there will be
quite a delegation of laborers gather
at the Cox building this evening at z
o'clock when the first meeting is sche-
duled to be held to go into the matter
of organizing a union for the men who
labor on all kinds of works by the
day.
Most every kind of skilled labor In
Maysville and Mason county has been
organized into trades union and the
unskilled laborers have begun to feel
that they, too, should have some sort
of organization to protect them in the
matter of wages and the hours Of la
Dor.
| The meeting scheduled for this eve
ming will not be meeting of final de-
cision but the men will be called to-
| gether to talk the matter over in an
informal manner and the real purpose
of the meeting is to learn the desire
and opinion of the majority of the
men engaged in unskilled labor thru
out the city and the county. If at the
meeting this evening 1t is found that
the men desire to organize local la
borer's union, an organizer from the
international headquarters will be
asked to come to Maysville in the very
near future and at that meeting the
union will be Iinally launched.
There are hundreds of men who are
classed as unskilled laborers at work
in Mason county every day and If they
see fit to organize a union, 1t should
be a very strong one.
