CECIL WARNS OF
GLASS DISTINCTION
Points to Recent Railway
Strike I'm Britain as
Example.

LONDON, Oct s.--Lord Robert Cecil
speaking at tho first luncheon of the
American Correspondents Association to-
day. discussed the recent railway itrike
III we are to do our duty, now that
we have had our warming" he said, wv.

every species Of class distinctions"
He hoped that England s example H.
dealing with the strilse had given lead
to the rest of the world. II earnestl,
pray" he concluded, "that those In other
countries who have in hand the settle
ment Of similar industrial difficulties
will be imbued with a spirit OF modsra-
ton and wisdom"
Among the other. guests were the
American Ambassador, John w. Davis
Sir Harry Britain, chairman CT the
British section of the pi grims; Sir
Roderick Jones, director of propaganda,
and Robert Donald, editor of the Daily
Gu, onicle.
Edward P. Bell, WHO presided, said
that a recent visit to America convinced
him that reports of anti British feeling
there were greatly exaggerated. Touch
ing on this subject Lord Robert Cecil
said:
TT would be absurd to deny that
anti-British feeling exists In America
but can truly say that no anti-Ameri-
can feeling exists in this country"
Referring TO President Wilson, he said
| the Presidents illness was a source OF
concern to all mankind, and added "h'
| is a great power for good in interna-
.ional life"
In connection with the strike Lord
Robert paid tribute to the good tenn
per and tolerance shown by both people
and strikers The most encouraging
feature of all. he said. was the remark
| able Intervention as mediators of four
| teen leaders of other unions.
But don't let US be foolish" he ad

PROTEST BRINGS RESULTS

TOXIC, Oct. S.--Negotiations are un-
Ger way between the Governments Of the
Tinted states and Japan concerning the
administration of the Trans-siberian
railroad This has been made neces-
cary. II is said In high diplomatic quar-,
ters because Of the fact that interallied
control of the railway under the prac-
teal supervision of John r. Stevens.
head of the American Railway Commits
sion to Russia, recently has encountered
many obstacles.
Following an official protest OF several
months ago by representatives of the
Allies at vladivostok against interfer-
ence by Gen. semenoff. the anti-Bol-
shevik leader in Siberia, there apparent
ir have developed recently misunder-
standings between the American and
Japanese authorities and troops concern

management means. Engineers under
Mr.. Stevens claim that in the sector
patrolled by the Japanese forces they

the lives and property of the railroad
engineers and had failed to cooperate
with them in the broad spirit Of con-
Quoting the railroad in the interest of
the Russian people, by permitting the
transportation Of food supplies which
were so necessary to the Russians
The American note frankly pointed
out, 1t Is said, that unless effective CO.
operation could be arranged the United
States might feel obliged to withdraw its
troops from Siberia altogether; that
should withdrawal be decided upon
the American Government might feel
compelled to make public its reasons
for the Withdrawal
II is understood that the American
communication. which has not been pub
Gshed here, caused something akin to a
commotion in diplomatic circles. 1t Is
asserted that the American Government
forwarded copies of the communications
TO Great Britain and France and prob
ably also to Italy and China

in the new Phoenix Garage, Nov. A
to g., is being more extensively ad-
vertised than anything of the kind
which has ever been held in Lexing-
ton
Roger Nichols is in charge of ad-
vertising and no section of the cen
trail part of the State is being neg
lected. Slides are being displayed in
thirty-six motion picture shows and
newspaper space and posters are be-
ing used extensively.
The tobacco show promises to be
one Of the big features of the ex-
hibit. Entries have already been re-
sceived from every county in Ken
lucky where tobacco is grown and
some fine specimens of the plant
should be on display. The prizes
offered in the various tobacco classes
are said to be the largest ever offered
in a tobacco competition.
J, Decoration of the building has al
ready been contracted for and this
feature of the preparations alone
will amount to several hundred dol
lars. The Shriners' band of Coving-
ton has been secured to play each

COME ALONG" TO THE GRAND
TUESDAY NIGHT.

Tuesday, October %, is the date
that Come Along" will be seen, at
the Grand Opera House, and coming
as it does, direct from the Nora
Bayes Theatre, New York, local
audiences will witness one of the
up to-date snappy girl shows that
that has had the approval Of the first
city of the land. One Of the prime
features of the production that will
be presented by company of 35 peo-
pie is the likeable and handsome
chorus and it is safe to predict that
Paris has seen no prettier girls nor
better dancers than these clever
choristers.
It's like being on Broadway and
viewing the latest and niftiest in
everything that is attractive from a
feminine standpoint to see the cos
tunes worn by the Come Along
chorus, and not the least attractive
feature of the show is the ability to
display these same costumes, which
means that figures as well as pretty
faces are one of he principal assets
of this merry musical show.
Bide Dudley, of the New York
World is the author of the clever
lines of the show and the tunes are
the sort that linger in the memory,
making a pleasing combination that
places this musical comedy in the
front rank of likeable shows. The
seat sale will open Saturday at
box Office, and those who like high
class entertainment, catchy music
and clean, wholesome comedy with
settings that are colorful and pleas
ing, should see "Come Along"

MAKES STRANGE DISCOVERY
FOR A DRY COMMUNITY,

Strange things are continually
happening, and the old saying that
truth is stronger than fiction" has
again been demonstrated. This time
the scene is laid in the rear of Mr..
John Merringer's property on Main
street, where laborers made a rich
strike, while digging a foundation
for garage to be erected there.
While engaged in this work a
shovel welded by one of the men,
who had been throwing out dirt
and a thick layer of ashes from the
excavation, struck something that
gave forth an unusual sound. Every
body stopped work at the yell of as
constituent that went up from the
laborer when he uncovered a pint
bottle of bottled in bond whiskey
that had from the appearance of the
receptacle been buried there for
many years. No one could account
for its being in that locality, at least
remaining there undiscovered so
long, but the most plausible expla-
nation was given by a newspaper
man, who happened to be around
shortly after. The property next to
the Merringer place, now occupied by
Albert Anthem as a butcher shop,
was owned at least thirty years ago
by Mike Carmody, and used by him
as a saloon. 1t was the belief that
the bottle of wet goods had been
hidden in the ash pile by one of his
customers and forgotten. The bot
tie was donated to the Massie Me-
mortal Hospital to be added to the
store of remedies at that institution.
Since the discovery Mr.. Merringer
has been swamped by offers of free
labor by parties who are perhaps of
the opinion that there may yet be in
the vicinity a treasure trove of bot
ties of the same kind of booze. His
greatest trouble has been to keep
them from digging up the whole

SENATOR BECKHAM SPEAKS TO
A LARGE AUDIENCE

A heavy fall of rain failed to keep
the Democrats OF Bourbon county
from hearing United States Senator
j. c. w. Beckham, who spoke at the
court house in this city, Tuesday af-
ternoon.
Senator Beckham was introduced
by Judge Denis Dundon, and spoke
for about an hour and a half. His
address aroused his audience to fire.
quent bursts of enthusiasm. He eulO-
gized President Wilson and said his
wonderful achievements for the ben
eft and betterment of mankind had
placed him in the front ranks of the
great men of history. Democratic
success this fall would show the
President that his sacrifice of health
had not been made in vain, he de-
clared.
The address throughout was de-
void of abuse. The Senator compar-
ed the past records of the two candi-
dates for Governor, as well as that of
the two political parties, and said
that should be a sufficient guide to
every good citizen as to how he
should cast his vote at the election
in November. He said that the two
last legislative sessions in Kentucky
under the administration of former
Governor Stanley, had performed
more constructive legislation than
had been done under Republican
rule for many years. He discussed
the Federal reserve system aside
from the war legislation, as one OF
the most important pieces of legisla-
ton performed by the Democrats.
Senator Beckham was followed by
Congressman Allen Barley, of Pa
ducah, who spoke for only few
moments. He denounced the prac-
tees of the Republicans in their eff,
forts to discredit President Wilson
and was roundly cheered during the
course of his remarks.

ICE PLANT CLOSES FOR PRESENT
SEASON.

The Paris Ice Manufacturing Co.
closed it's plant for the present sea-
son Tuesday night, after successful
run. Mr. ]. B. GRAHAM, who has
been associated with Mr.. Phil Nip
pert, in conducting the affairs of the
plant, has returned to Covington to
reside until the opening of next sea-
son. Mr. Graziani's return to Paris
is always regarded as sure sign of
the return of Spring, as surely as
the bluebirds come back.
Mr. Nippert stated yesterday that
in spite of the handicaps he worked
under, the past season had been a
successful one, and that the manage
ment had done everything in their
power to keep the people of Paris
supplied with ice. Improvements
are contemplated for next season
that will place the plant in the fore
front of local enterprises, and en-
able it to keep up with any demand
made upon it's facilities.

SET YOUR TTMEPIECES HOUR
SLOW SUNDAY NIGHT

At exactly midnight next Sun
day, October 26, there will be a
change Of time that will for a while
be somewhat confusing, but to which
we will all get accustomed in a short
while. The clocks and watches will
have to be set back an hour at that
time, or before, in order to make GER
tain that you are right up to date
with your timepieces. 1t has been
stated that the best way is to set all
timepieces back an hour on Saturday
night before retiring, so that you
will be sure to have the right time
the next day.
While the change in time will not
suit everyone, it will be Godsend to
the fellow who likes to take an ad-
diional nap before he rises to be-
gin the daily grind. 1t will give
him an hour more, but, on the other
hand, will make him more trouble
at the other end of the day. Alto
gether, the time as it has been
under the daylight saving regu-
lation, would be far more &C
ceptable to most of us.
Don't get in lam" Monday
morning by neglecting to set your
watch or clock back an hour on Sat
urday night or on Sunday morning
This is most important, and will be
the means of saving a great deal OF
trouble
