HE coming to the fore OF
man like Jacob Weltner
Ii in Hungary following the
downfall Of the regime of
Bella Kun indicates that the Hun
garian working class masses are
pretty we'll cured Of Bolshevism
Jacob Weltner is the head Of the
Hungarian Soviets and as such he
was the medium Of communication
between the Allies and the Com
munist government in the negotia-
tions that led up to the latter's
resignation.
Weltner is a man of medium stat
ure, dark complexioned, and is about
forty-two years old. He is So
cial Democrat of many years
standing and has played leading
role in the Socialist movement of
Austria Hungary and in the Inter
rationale as whole.
The writer met Weltner in
Stockholm in December, 1917, soon
after the beginning of the Brest-
Litovsk negotiations between Ger
many and the Bolshcviki. He came
to Stockholm in great excitement
over the new turn of affairs and
was particularly put out By the sep
arate peace negotiations initiated
BY the Bolshcviki. Those were The
days when Europe still lacked faith
in the ability OF the United States
to exert any appreciable military
influence upon the situation and
when the probability of a German
victory seemed certain to the minds
Of neutrals and the peoples Of the
| Central Empires.
New-York tribune., 1919-08-24


Mayor and Unexpectedly received his
present appointment.
Ready to Quit
Time and again DR.. Copeland has
intimated his readiness to give up
the job Of Health Commissioner
When the armistice was signed
he sent in his resignation to
the Mayor, but it was torn up. As
soon as he prepared to get out,
some pressing question arose, and
although the possibility of his resig-
nation has been revived, he wants
TO see the drug question on a firmer
basis before he returns to his pri-
vate practice, which, by the way, is
much more remunerative and less
arduous than his present work.
Dr. Copeland is a picturesque
figure. It is sometimes said of him
that he is too affable to be a hard
working man. AS matter of fact,
those who watch him most closely
know that he is one Of the busiest
officials in New York; that he works
early and late; that his luncheon
usually consists of sandwich
snatched about o'clock in the
afternoon; and that he is always
ready to do favor and hear the
petitions of all and sundry. During
the "fu" epidemic he did not have a
meal in his home for two weeks.
He is one of those men who think
it takes no more time to be courte-
Gus and friendly than it does to be
rude and brusque. He has a warm
handshake for every one and an all
enveloping friendliness that sends
his visitor away happy even if he
hasn't got what he wanted. Fine
address and a certain richness of
personality make him generally
popular. He is at his best on the
platform. But he has sufficient
force Of character to make many
enemies, and his path as Health Com
missioner has not been a smooth
one, chiefly because Of his habit Of
shattering precedent and going
ahead impetuously with whatever
measures he thought necessary.
He has had versatile career. His
father, Roscoe p. Copeland. is
Mayor of Dexter, Mich, and
president of the Board of Education
there. Young Royal started out by
selling in store in Chelsea, Mich.
That bored him so he turned
to the livelier occupation of teach
ing in a little country school. He
earned the magnificent sum of $3s
a month This was decided advance
on the time when he had been vii
lage lamplightcr and store clerk. In
1889 he was graduated with distinc-
ton from the medical department
Of the University Of Michigan, al
Ann Arbor. Then he took post
graduate courses in medicine, spe-
cializing in ophthalmology in Eng
lish, German, Swiss, French anc
Belgian universities. He is consid
cred a brilliant and daring opera
tor on the eye. In 1901 he was
elected Mayor of Ann Arbor. He
was called to the deanship of the
New York Homeopathic Medica
College in 1908. When America en-
tered the war he organized the
Flower Hospital unit and was eager
to go to France, but was requested
to stay, as he was one of the mer
who could be more useful at homo
And so it proved. II for nothing
else, he will be remembered, whes
he finally relinquishes office, as th'
man who put New York in the fore
front in the fight against drug ad
diction. There are other thing
to his credit, but this, perhaps, wa
his most unique achievement. III

OPENING BREAKS
WILL Be SMALL BUT
ICEEXPECTED HIGH
Very Little Tobacco on the Floors OF
the Local Warehouses This After
noon But Small Loads Are
Almost Every Hour.

It will not take long Tor the crew
of buyers to go through the tobacco
that will be offered for sale on the
floors of the local warehouses Tuesday
in the opening sale on the Maysville
market for the 1890 season, it ap-
pears this afternoon.
All of the warehouses report that
they have very small amount of
the weed on the floors but crops are
coming in almost hourly. All Of the
crops, however, are very small ones
and every indication Is that the open
ing sale will be one Of the smallest In
the history Of the Maysville tobacco
market Quite bit Of tobacco Is ex-
pected to be delivered this evening and
early Tuesday morning ready for the
opening sale but the warehousemen
report that they are not expecting any
thing like a big sale as the farmers
are not ready with their crops.
Every indication, however, is that
prices will be high and the buyers to-
! day are not expressing themselves but
from the prices obtaining on other
| markets throughout the state, there is
every reason to expect good big
price for the openiny sale on the
Maysville market.
A big crowd Of people is expected
in Maysville on Tuesday to see how
the sales come out and what prices
are obtained by the farmers selling
on the opening sale.

awake, It was some time before
neighbors came to the rescue. Mr..
Becketts 14-year-old daughter and his
mother-in-law, Mrs, Reuben Gill, who
was at the Beckett home nursing Mrs.
Beckett and her child born on Friday,
escaped from the building unharmed,
however, and ministered to the woman
terribly weak and grief stricken with
her little babe and to Mr.. Beckett, who
by this time was overcome.
After the, building had been COM
pletely burned this morning, the char
red body Of little Orville was found
several feet from the bed. 1t is
thought that awakening and finding
the house on fire, he left the bed and
attempted to crawl to safety.
Mr.. Beckett is 30 horribly burned
that there is little hope for his re-
covery. His physician, DR.. Hord, stated
this morning that II he could carry the
man through the next IL hours. he
would probably recover but 1t is not
known whether the flames entered his
throat or not. His face is burned al
most beyond recognition while his
hands and arms are terribly burned
and he will probably lose several of
his fingers.
Mother and Babe Exposed
The mother and her three day old
babe were left for more than two
hours in a cold barn with nothing to
protect them from the cold night air
but hay and blankets gathered about
the barn and 1t is feared that they
have contracted a severe cold which
may develop into something much
worse and cause them a severe illness
If not death.
Charles, the eleven year old boy, is
burned terribly but only on the hands
and face as the clothing his fathel
wrapped about him as he carried ths
lad from his bed to safety, kept the
flames from his body.

HEAD and LIMBS
OF Jesse GLENN
ARE Still MISSING
Thomas Marksberry Protests His In
n0cence of Murder Of Friend Al
though Circumstantial Evil

Against Him. II

Although efforts have peen con-
tinued to find the head and limbs of
Jesse Glenn, Bracken county man
whose torso was found near the home
of Thomas Marksberry all such efforts
have thus far been in vain.
Information from Augusta this af-
ternoon is to the effect that there are
no new developments in the case and
it has now been almost decided that
the head and legs and arms Of the
murdered man were thrown into the
Ohio river, which is about half mile
from the place where the torso was
found.
AT the Covington Jail today Marks
berry continues to protest his in
nocence.
Fearing that the infuriated citizens
of Bracken county would form a mob
and attempt to take from the Mason
county Jail Thomas Marksberry, being
held for Bracken county authorities on
charge of murder, Deputy Sheriff
Thompson, of Augusta, came here
Sunday afternoon and took Marksber-
ry by train to Covington where he
was placed in the Covington Jail for
safe keeping.
The cause Of this frsh outbreak of
rage on the part Of the Bracken coun-
! ty citizens, was the finding on Sunday
morning of the trunk of Jesse Glenn's
body buried two feet under the ground
on the tsFm !wherS. Marksberry wan q

PROTEST MADE
AGAINST REMOVAL
OF |. AND N. train
Train Which L. & N. Railroad Pro.
poses to Remove Tomorrow For
the Conservation Of Fuel Is the
Most Valuable Of all to
Maysville.

The L. & N. railroad company an
nounces that beginning Tuesday be-
cause of the shortage of fuel they will
remove the passenger train arriving
here at $50 a. m. and leaving at 8 :25
in the afternoon. This train is of
more value to Maysville than all of
the other trains on this division of
the l.. & N. because it carries to our
city the shoppers from the great L. &
~ district and also brings the tobac-
CO dealers in that section of the coun-
try and several school children who
are attending the Maysville High
School.
Because of the great Importance of
this train to Maysville, Mayor T. M.
Russell this morning filed a severe
protest with the Superintendent of this
division asking that this train be al
lowed to remain on its schedule time
and that If necessary the other train
be removed.
Just at this season of the year when
the local merchants are displaying
their Christmas goods, this decision OF
the railroad company is a very severe
blow to Maysville. 1t means that per-
sons shopping in Maysville must come
here at night and remain here two
nights for there will be but one l.. &
N. train out of Maysville a day and
that will be early in the morning.
1t Is hoped that some reconsider
alton of this order will be made by the
railroad authorities
