new CLUES IN GRAVE
ROBBERY ARE FOLLOWED
Detectives Handling Case Believe Mys-
terry Will Now Be Solved In
Very Short Time.

Within twenty-four hours Campbell
county officials and detectives believe
that they will clear up the mystery
surrounding the dissertation Of the
grave of fifteen-year-old Clara Fischer
In st. Stephens cemetery, near Fort
Thomas, KY, last Thursday night.
Three men are believed to have been
implicated.
An investigation indicated that the
coffin probably had not been lifted
from the grave and the body removed.
The crushed grass beneath the bent
boughs of the nearby tree, where it
was first believed that the body had
been taken by the ghouls, is believed
to have been caused by the men who
remained in hiding there until they
were certain that Fred Blye, the sex
ton, had left the cemetery.
William Schoulties, farmer, told
Detective Paul Ryan that he passed
two men wearing clay-stalned khaki
trousers on the Three-Mile Creek road
100 yards from where the grave was
opened at 4:30 a. m, Friday. He said
that the men were about 25 years old
and also wore light shirts and straw
hats. They avoided his gaze as he
slowed down his horse when he drove
past.

AIRSHIp CRASHES
THROUGH SKYLIGHT
INTO CHICAGO BANK
Eleven Killed When-Tan on Dirlgible
Explodes and Ship Falls Into
Bank Building.

Chicago, July 22.-The Illinois Trust
and Savings bank, Jackson boulevard
and La Sale street, in the heart of
Chicago's shopping district, was con-
verified in the twinkling of an eye yes
terday afternoon from place of bust
ling business activity into scene of
death and destruction.
Literally, the fatal bolt came out of
clear sky. Unseen and unsupported
by the bank employees engrossed in
their duties, giant dirigible ballon
passing 500 feet above the structure,
suddenly burst into flames. Crump-
ling to earth like a bird wounded in
fight, the mammoth aircraft plunged
downward.
Spectators in the street were strick-
en- motionless with horror when they
beheld the balloon dropping with its
bag aflre and witnessed the desper-
ate eorts of the pilot and the four pas
sengers to save themselves by means
or their peracnuteS.
Inside the bank there was nothing
to warn the workers of the swiftly
descending doom. 1t was past the re-
gular banking hours, but the clerks
we're still busy at their various desks.
A shadow fell across the marble ro-
tunda as If cloud were passing over
the huge sklight in the top of the
structure. The next instant there was
deafening crash, and the whole
buildin seemed to be enveloped in
flames, through which could be heard
the screams and groans of the wound
| ed.
The present toll of IL dead may
be increased, as several Of the 2f
injured are so badly hurt that they
are not expected to live. Nine Of the
II killed were employees of the bank
while the other two we're passengers
IN the balloon.
Boettner, the pilot, made the fol
lowing statement to the police: GAS
we neared State street l felt the ma
chine buckle and there was a tremol
throughout the fusilage. l knew
something had happened and saw the
flames licking the bag. l shouted fol
all to jump, and leaped out of the car.
State street is three blocks from thu
point where the machine fell.

BLACK AND CARROLL
IN A LONG DEBATE
AT MAYFIELD MONDAY
Nothing New Deyelopes When Two
Democratic Candidates For Cover
nor Meet on Same Platform.

Mayfield, KY, July 22.-The William
Tye allegation and Judge Carrolrs al
legged failure to support the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor In 1899
furnished the principal vehicles for
discussion in the joint debate held
here Monday by the Democratic candi-
dates for the gubernatorial nomination
both speakers taking up much of their
time in discussing these matters.
About 700 voters heard the speakers
and Governor Black appeared to have
the best of it from point of applause.
A large number of the Black support
ers from almost every district In
the county were present. The Cover
nor was introduced by j. T. Daugherty
a Confederate veteran. Judge Gard
ner introduced Judge Carroll, who led
off with speech lasting an hour and
a half.
He reiterated the charges that Gov
ernor Black had disqualified himself
for the high office of Governor by writ
ing the letter to the L. & N. Railroad
asking a pass for man whose rela-
tives and friends are influential and
frequently called for jury service In
Knox county.
Judge Carroll did not touch upon the
text book question, except to deny that
he had shirked his duty in failing to
be on the bench when the case was de-
cided by the Court of Appeals. He said
he quit the bench when he first be-
came a candidate and long before the
school book case was before the low
er courts.
Judge Carroll discussed at length
proposed changes in the tax laws
Judge Carroll charged that Black hao
taken possession of Stanley's ap'
pointees and they had possession Of
him. He favored elimination of many
unnecessary offices and declared the
principal business Of the holders was
to build up political fences for theil
chief.

There are two things TO be done by the prohibition
statute One is TO define the prohibition; the other is to
provide methods Of enforcement. Prohibition Is best de

line against any liquor that intoxicstes. The limitation
of onehalf of one per cent of alcoholic content is strictly
in accord with the intention of the ~prohibitio amend

of the whole movement. 1t is what everyone should have
expected, and as a matter of fact did expect. 1t is not an
exaggeration OF the principle anything else would be an
evasion and a notification.
Indeed, We do not see Why anyone should complain
Of The definition. TO the anttprohibitionist il should be
especially welcome as really forcing the issue on the pub

months trial. is a nauseous beverage, probably ruinous

effects of the sourness and the ferments that it contains.
To persons who crave alcohol it would surely work much
harm, as they would be likely to use larger quantities in

On the other hand. the concession of this mawkish
stun would inevitably prevent a real test of the effects of
prohibition. whether material or physical a stimulation

On the other hand again. the elimination from the
law of vexatious features. personal searches anG invasion
OF the privacy of homes is both wise and just It prevents
the law from becoming an instrument OF fanatical perse
