MILITARY TRAINING AT LOCAL
SCHOOL MAY Be HELD up
Appropriation For Military Instruc.
tors In Schools Over the Nation
Has Not Been Passed and
This May Hold Up Course
Here This Year.

1t became known here today that
there was probability that the Mays
vile High School would not have
course in military training during the
coming spring and summer. The ap-
preparation for the payment Of these
instructors has not yet passed con-
gress, it is learned and there is
great probability that there will be no
extra session of congress in which
this matter may be brought up before
the beginning of the term.
1t was at first thought that the in
structor would come on to Maysville
Immediately but this is not the case.
The League of Nations proposition
seems to have the right of way over
everything else just at this time and
there may be no action by congress on
this matter for several months.
The Maysvlle High School has been
selected as one of the High Schools in
the state to have military Instructor,
however, and as soon as the necessary
finances are furnished BY the govern
ment the course will be begun here.

JUVENILE JUDGE
ISSUES Warming AS
T0SALE EXTRACTS
Youngsters Have Been Reported as
Drinking Extracts Added to Nom
alcoholic Drinks With Which
They Have Been Known to
Become Drunk.

It has been generally known that
for several months old topers who
have not been able to get their liquor
regularly have been manufacturing a
drink which seems to produce prac-
tically the same effects as liquor. 1t
is said that witch hazel is not the only
thing that is being used TO produce
intoxication but some have been said
to get on a cheap drunk by the use OF
lemon extract and cola drinks.
Juvenile Judge H. P. Purnell this
morning said that 1t had been brought
to his attention that young boys IN
the city have been known to. get drunk
recently by the addition of lemon ex-
tract purchased from local grocery
stores to cola drinks of various kinds.
Judge Purnell says that one man
has reported to him within the past
two days that his son had come home
intoxicated and that upon investiea-
tion the father had learned that the
boy with others had become drunk
through the use of extracts and bot
tied soft drinks.
This morning Judge Purnell sound
ed a warning to the grocery keepers
urging them that they assist him, In
that they refuse to sell extracts to
youngsters of juvenile age unless thev
have a written order signed by their
parents. The investigation of the Juv-
emile Judges office had led to the dis
covery that there are more BOYS in
Maysville using this self mixed drink
than is, thought by the general public
which Is not in possession of the facts.
There is no law, of course. to de-
mand that the grocers refuse the sale
of bottled extracts to juveniles bu'
Judge Purnell points out that all well
meaning grocers will cooperate with
him in breaking IN this terrible prac-
tise among the Youths Of the commun-
itv which. in time, may develope into
something much more serious.

FIRE ALARM TO Be PLACED
ON LIMESTONE BRIDGE
Loud Siren VIII BE Installed on Llme-
stone Bridge to Warn Against
Approaching Fire Engine.

At the meeting of the Fire Com
mittee of the City Council held Tues
day night it was suggested that some
sort Of warning signal should be in
stalled on Limestone bridge as we'll
as at Second and Market streets to
warn traffic Of the approaching Of the
fire engine 80 that the bridge would
be cleared and the matter was ordered
and placed in the hands of Fire Chief
Ruliff Newell.
The firemen say that several times
this year they have been called to the
East end Of the city to extinguish a
fire and that upon their reaching
Limestone bridge that bridge would
have several heavy tobacco wagon on
it. In several instances very serious
accidents have been narrowly avert
ed.
The installation of the fire alarm
signal on the Limestone bridge was
suggested by the Public Ledger sew
eral days ago and it is more than
likely that Chief Newell will have the
signal installed within very short
time.

ALLEGED FORTUNE
TELLING SW|NDLER
UNDER arrest HERE
French Woman Who Is Charged With
Having Swindled Vanceburg Ne.
gro Woman Out Of $40 Is
Placed Under Arrest
Here To-day.

This afternoon Policeman p. Ryan
placed under arrest a foreigner who
gave her name as Stella Jones and
who says she Is French. The woman
was arrested on the streets shortly
after the local police were advised by
wire that foreigner was wanted in
Vanceburg on charge of swindling.
1t is alleged that the French wo-
man, who came from Cincinnati, got
into the good graces of one Sallie
Barnes, colored, who lives in Vance
burg and by means Of telling her for
tune and making her believe that she
could perform wonders procured from
her 1910 in money and other valu-
ables. When the woman was arrest
ed here this afternoon all Of the
money except $3.50 was found on her
person.
Sallie Barnes, the colored woman,
claimed to have been swindled, to-
gether with her brother, came to
Maysville this afternoon and identi-
fled the woman under arrest here as
the same woman who, by her smooth
manners, had swindled her out of her
little fortune.
1t Is said that the French woman,
who is accompanied by her little
daughter, probably twelve or fifteen
years of age, told the colored woman
that she had super human powers and
could obtain for the Negro all that she
wanted in this life and the next. The
French woman promised the colored
woman that she could procure for her
the kind of husband that she wanted
and that she would bring to her fine
home and everything that was neces-
sary to make life happy. By this
means, the traveller is said to have
taken away from the colored woman
all that she possessed.
The Jones woman says her home is
not in Cincinnati and that she has no
home but travels about trading and
telling fortunes. The local police be-
lieve that with the arrest or this wo-
man they have brought within the
clutches of the law dangerous pro-
fessional crook. The French woman
'as a very strong personality but ap-
Uears to be a gypsy in dress and ap-
pearance. She speaks broken Eng
lish and contends that she did moth
ing that was wrong when she took the
Negro woman's money. She claims to
be an expert nurse and to have ex-
traordinary powers in healing the
sick.
The woman has been lodged In the
Mason County Jail and the money has
been restored by Chief Ort to the
Barnes woman's brother. 1t is ex-
pected that County Attorney Strother
of Lewis county, and a deputy sherit
will be here late this afternoon to re-
turn the woman to Vanc>>nrg.
The woman had been In Vanceburg
but since Monday. She disappeared
from Vanceburg mysteriously late
Tuesday afternoon when the officers
there heard of the swindle and start
ed a search for her She said this af-
ternoon that she walked to the sta
tion below Vanceburg. spent TUESDAY
night at farm house and caught an
accommodation train which reached
Mavsville this morning.
The little daughter cried when It
became necessary for the police to
place the woman in the county Jail
and at her request she was allowed to
go to Jail with her mother. They have
been placed in the hosnital ward.

CITY SCHOOL BOOK
COMMITTEE WILL HOLD
MEETING TONIGHT
Representatives of the Majority of the
school Book Publishers In the
Country Have Swarmed Mays.
vile in the Past
Few DAYS.

School book statesmen have been
running close second to oil stock
statesmen in the lobbies of the local
hotels for the past two weeks. As
soon as 1t became known that the
School Book Committee of the Mays-
vile Board of Education was about to
adopt the books for use in all of the
city schools for the next five years.
these statesmen began to flock to Mays
vile to present their books and their
merits.
The second meeting of the School
Book Committee will be held at the
CITY High School building this even
ing. A meeting was held about a week
ago when the committee went into the
prellminaries but at tonight's meet
ing the matter will be gone into more
thoroughly. The members of the COM
mlttee will look carefully over the
books offered by the various publish
ers and will take the matter of
changes into consideration.
AT tonight's meeting it is hardly ex-
pected that anything final will be
done. 1t Is understood to be the opin-
ion of all of the members of the com
mlttee that as few changes as posi-
BILE should be made in the books for
the next five years. The history and
geography will be changed consider
ably and all students will probably be
required to have new books at the be-
ginning of next school term but ar
rangements will be made with the
publishers for the publishing of sup
plements or something of the sort
next year to add to the books pub
llshed at the beginning of the term so
that 1t Will not be necessary for the
students to purchase new books again
at the beginning of the next term.
