ROME Is AGAIN
ALL EXCITE MEMT.

Rome, May 12.-Discontentment
and irritation Of the Italian people is
again growing into a flame because
Of the news from Paris that Italy is
/ ct likely to get what She claims on
.he eastern eGore of the Adr!atic.
Other reasons which are adding 10
the flames of the anger among the
people is the INSTRUMENTATION
alliance from which Italy is excluded
Another matter is the assertion that
the former Austrian merchant marine
vii be didived among the allies, al
thought it is held that it belongs EN-
tirely to Italian firms.
A clause in the treaty with Ger
many, saying the three principal pow
ers are sufficient to ratify the treaty
is also a cause for objection among
the Italian people, as this clause it is
alleged, excludes Italy. The reported
scheme to place Ethiopia under the
protection of France is also a dis
turbing element in the minds of the
people.

well known land owner and stock rails
or, OF near Manchester, has brought

Bernstein alleged that he>had obtain
ed some goods from him under false

DETECTIVES UNABLE TO
CLEAR UP BANK CASE

Unable 10 Clear Up Attempted
Robbery Of West Union bank
Professionals Had
Confederate.

The attempted robbery of the West
Union Bank has not been cleared up
although both Pinkerton and Burns
detectives have been on the scene. 1t
seems to be their opinion that the
men were part of gang who have
been operating over the state, with
headquarters at Toledo. However,
there seems to be no doubt that the
men had an able assistant in some one
who was living at West Union or in
the vicinity, and there may be more
than one local party implicated when
the arrests are made.
The Bank is we'll guarded day and
night while repairs are being made
on the vault, and 1t is said that when
the work Is done, the vault will be
safer than 1t ever has been, and prac-
tically burglar proof.
The detectives are of the opinion
that the yeggmen ran out of gas, and
for this reason left when the job was
so nearly completed.

$34.4O Is AVERAGE
ON THIS MARKET FOR
THE PAST week
Weekly Average For Second Week Of
Maysville Looseleaf Market Shows
Decline Of $50 Per Hundred
From First Weeks
Figures.


! Supervisor William Mitchell of the
Maysville looseleaf tobacco market re-
ports that during the week closed with
Fridays sales the local market sold
a total of e11,s3O pounds OF tobacco
at a general average of ss4.40 per hun
dred pounds. This report shows that
more than twice the tobacco was sold
during the second week of the market
than was sold during the first week
but the average shows a decline of
$50 per hundred, the first weeks av-
erage having been s43.1O.
The Supervisor says that a very
large per cent. of the tobacco offered
for sale during the past week was Of
very inferior quality, much of 1t hav.
ing been very common. He reports
that colory tobacco is in big demand
and that anything like a good qualit,
of the weed is bringing splendit
prices.
A much better market is expected
after the holiday season as a bettei
quality of tobacco will probably be de
livered. The warehouses will not sci
during next week and the market viii
reopen on Monday, December 2stl
with the first sales at the Home an,
the Planters houses.

ASK AID OF POLICE
WHEN wife LEAVES
FOR FORMER HUBBY
Manchester Man Complains to Local
Police Asking For Warrant-Is
Referred Back to Ohio
Authorities.

Ernest McHenry, of Manchester, o.,
called at police headquarters Satur-
day afternoon and asked for a war
rant for the arrest of an Aberdeen
man who he charges is now living
with his (McHenry's) wife in Man
chester. He was advised by City At
torney DAILY that the warrant should
be issued in Adams county, Ohio, and
the young man returned to Manches-
ter this afternoon.
McHenry stated to the officials here
that some time ago he married an
Adams county woman in Maysville and
1t later developed that she had been
married before and had not obtained
divorce from her former husband.
He now states that his wife has de-
serted him and has returned to her
former husband with whom she is now
residing. He stated that he had taken
the matter up with the Adams county
authorities and they had all referred
him to the Maysville authorities.
While technically bigamy was COM
mitted when McHenry married the
woman here, local authorities say that
the offense Of which he complains and
the offense against society, II the
mans statements are correct, is now
being committed in Ohio and that the
Ohio laws cover such offenses.

SELF-DEFENSE IS
CLAIMED BY EDDINCS
In CONFESSION
this 10th day OF December. 1919.
DUDLEY McCLOY,

DUDLEY McCLOY,
Notary Public Fayette Co., KY,
"My Commission expires June 10,
1928"
In the local jail today Eddings
sticks to his confession saying that he
has told the whole truth and that no
one Is implicated in the matter with
! him and no one saw him when he
was in Maysviiie Monday night. He
says the l.. & N. train on Monday night
was very late and that when he alight-
ed at the local depot, he walked down
Bridge street to the G. & o. railroad
and went directly down the railroad
track to the Cotton MIL He says, to
be certain his gun was working, he
shot it twice into the Ohio river from
the G. & o. tracks before going into
the mill. He then pulled down the
fire escape by means of a stick and
threw the stick over the river bank.
He then went to the fourth floor of
the building and waited there FOR
Schumacher to make his rounds. He
says he met Schumacher as he was
making his one O'clock round and
that he was compelled to kill Schu-
macher in self-defense as he feared
schumacher intended to kill him al
though he had come there to talk the
matter over and make peace with the
man.
Eddings says that after the killing,
he came from the building in the same
manner he entered II and went out the
L. & N. railroad to Clark Station
While waiting for the morning train
on Tuesday, he says black cat ran
across his track and he shot at 1t
with his pistol but missed It. His.
missing the cat seems to worry Ed
dings considerably as he believes 1t
was an omen of bad luck.
He says he carried bis shotgun to
Maysville wrapped In paper and that
he unwrapped the gun on the railroad
track before entering the Cotton Mill
and assembled It. After the shooting.
he says he went back to the place
where he had left the paper and break
Ing down his gun again wrapped 1t in
the same paper. The gun was dou-
BILE barrel shotgun but one of the trig-
gers was broken and this accounts fc-
the shell being discharged and found
on the Cotton Mill floor. He also car
ried 80 caliber revolver which he
did not use.
Eddings says that In many letters
which Mrs. Schumacher has written
him she has often told him that her
husband had threatened to take his
| life and this is what brought him to
Maysville on December 9Th.
| A warrant charging Eddings with
murder was issued by County Judge H.
P. Purnell this morning and Eddings'
examining trial has been set for Mon
day. The man has not yet retained a
lawyer but 1t Is more than likely that
he will waive an examination and his
case will go direct to the Mason Coun-
ty Grand Jury which will meet on
Tuesday. January 9Th.
The police officials and detectives on
this case have done excellent work as
the case ie probably the most stub
born that has attracted the attention
| Of the officers of the law in this dis
| trict in many years. They are not
through with the case however. and
will continue their Investigations in
an effort TO prove Eddines guilty OF
first degree, premeditated murder. His
contention of self-defense is very
fiimsy one. the officers believe and
