travels in. and they are: Madison,

GIRLS BODY EXHUMED-
NO CLEWS FOUND YET

CINCINNATI, July Zo-NeopeIllliS
late yesterday afternoon at St.
Stephens Cemetery, Ft. Thomas,
of the grave of Clara Fisher,
pretty 15-year-old daughter Of
Anton Fischer, Newport, served
to verify many of the assump-
tions upon which Investigators
have been working since Friday
in an effort to establish the ideni-
ty of the ghoul or ghouls who
took the body from it's grave
Thursday night.
Detectives are pondering upon
the possible significance of one
new feature of the case, namely,
the fact that the girls left arm
was broken presumably when
the body was exhumed by the
ghouls in the silence of night
and dragged to the shelter of a
tree several yards away from the
grave. A match found in the
grave yesterday may furnish
another clew detectives said.
Another angle developed when
detectives were informed from a
source which, they said, they
were not at liberty to disclose,
that a. Newport woman who
suffers from deformity had
been told by a fortune teller that
a deformity of some kind could be
cured if rubbed with a cloth or
rag taken from attire of a dead
person.
The grave was opened in the
presence of Campbell County
officials, operatives of the Cal
Grim Detective Bureau, and
Trustees of St. Stephens Gene
terry. After the examination
Drs. Youtsey and Digby annouced
these things:
Thatthe left arm was broken.
That there were stains and mud
on the clothing, mostly the stock
ings and slippers.
That cloth used to hold the
body in place, known among
undertakers as body napkin"
had been removed.
That thorough search of the
grave, the coffin, the clothing and
Of the premises failed to reveal
any trace of the lily which was in
the girls hand at the time of the
funeral last Thursday morning.
That the body doubtless had
not been mistreated to the ex-
tent feared by members of the
Fischer family and detectives
who viewed the body Friday.
Stains found on the garments
of the dead girl may be placed
under a microscope today,
Interest in the case was in
,reased when Detective, Paul V.
Ryan, principal in the investiga-
ion, announced threats had been
made against him. Mr.. Ryan said
lie was called from his bed at Fl
o'clock yesterday morning by the

CONFUSION IN REGARD
TO REGISTRATION
Judge Price Thinks He Should
Have Called Special Registra-
tion, So Issues Order.

Expressing the belief that under
the election laws Of Kentucky, he
should have issued a call for spe-
cial registration of voters in Rich
mond, County Judge W.. K. Price
has issued call for another spe-
cial registration to be held next
Saturday. so that those who did
not register last fall, may be en-
abled to vote in the special con-
gressional election. Judge Price
says he is proceeding, under the
section of the law which says that
the registration shall be ordered
by the county judge or other of
fcer" calling the election. AS
the "other officer" calling the
election was Gov. Stanley who did
not order special registration,
Juwge Price says it looks like it
is up to him to do so.
On the other hand County Clerk
J. W.. Maupin and other officials
point out that Judge Price has
nothing to do with the calling of
this special registration, assert
ing that the language of the law
is plainly that the officer calling
the election must call the special
registration, and inasmuch as
Judge Price did not call the cleo
ton, he has no power to call the
special registration.
However, the call for the regis
tration has been issued by Judge
Price and is given in full below.
This registration will be held at
the four regular voting precincts
OF the city, and must be conducted
by the regular officers in those
precincts. Notwithstanding the
confusion that seems to have re-
suited over the special registra-
ton, it would be we'll for all vot-
ers who registered last Saturday
to go to their several voting
places and register again. The call
issued by Judge Price is as fol-
lows:
Notice of Special Registration
Notice is hereby given that a
special registration will be held in
the four voting precincts of Rich
mond, KY, on Saturday, July 26,
1919, between the hours of 6 a. M.
and 9 o'clock p. m, for the pur-
pose of permitting voters who
were absent from the city at the
last regular registration held IN
1918, and who were otherwise
lawfully deprived of registering at
said regular registration, and
those who have become of age
since the saidlast registration, to
qualify to vote in the special cleo
ton called for August 2, 1919. to
choose a successor to the late
Harvey Helm as congressman
from the Eighth Congressional
District of Kentucky, said special
election having been called by A.
o. Stanley, on May IL, 1919, who
was at that time governor of
Kentucky. w. *. PRICE,

"Ihc work of the American and
South Carolina Cotton Associa;ions
is proceeding in accordance with sound
business and economics PRINCIPLES,
The presidents and Executive Com
mlttces Of the Association hold what
the producer of the cotton is entitled
to reasonable portion of the wealth
accrulng from the production Of raw
and manufactured cotton. They hold
that the price of cotton should be de-
tcrmined by several factors, the sup
ply of cotton available in relation to
the existing demand; the cost of the
production of cotton, including lcgi-
Innate sum calculated for the owner
OF the cotton, who in many cases per-
forms all the human labor in it's pro-
ductlon; the cost of the manufacture
, of staple cotton fabrics and price at
which these fabrics sell. In other
words, the work of the Cotton Asso
cIatlon looks ultimately towards a
just sharing of profits among all con-
cerned in the growing of cotton it's
handling and its manufacturing.
"New England must not be surpris
ed, however, if the Southern cotton
producer hesitate to welcome any pro-
posals emanating from New England
with regard to the acreage to be plant
ed in cotton, the regulating of the
price of cotton or other matters con-
corning the interest or the producer.
The producer cannot immediately for
get that for sixty years the price he
has received for the product of his
laborious toll has been entirely out
side of his own control and outside
of the people of the South. He must
remember that his own control and
outside Of the people Of the South.
lie must remember that his financial
