THUNDERCLAP BEATS OVER THERE IN BIG
 RACE AT AOJEDTCT

New York, Sept 24-Sam Hn- dreth and Buddy" Ensor monopoliz- ed the news of a rainy. sloppy after noon at Aqueduct, yesterday. Ensor rode three winners out of three mounts-Bif Bang, Pictor and Car narvOn-while sam Hildreth saddIed Thunderclap, which beat Over There, the disqualified Realization winner. in what amounted to a match race in the Roslyn Handicap; and then partly cleared the way of dangerous contender in some stakes he is anxious to win, by buying Corn Tassel from R. T. Wilson for $15,- 900.
 Telling first of the RosIyn Handi- cap. four of the six horses were scratched, leaving over There and Thunderclap to meet under 124 pounds each at one mile and a six teenth.
 About two weeks ago at Belmont Park, Thunderclap gave Over There two pounds and a beating over a muddy track. On that occasion however, an excuse was offered for the latter on the ground that 1t was necessary to use barplates, a distinct handicap in heavy going. and when the good horse came out two or three days later and galloped to easy vic tory in the Realization (from which he was disqualified on account of fouD, it was felt by many that he had not run his race against Thun- derclap.
 Much interest then centred in their meeting yesterday, and those who made the journey to the track in spite of the rain were about equally divid- ed between H1em.

JAKE EILRAIN WENT TO ENGLAND g YEARS
 AGO TO SEEK TITLE

1887. Jake KilraIn sailed for Eng land to fight Jem Smith, the British champion, for the worlds title. Smith had issued a challenge to fight any man in the world, and Sullivan was expected to accept the def, but for some reason John L. backed out. Jake Kilrain, who had also vainly at tempted to get Sullivan in che ring, then volunteered to fight the Brit isher. Shortly before sailing Kilrain was presented at Baltimore with the Fox belt, an emblem of the heavy weight championship of America, and the costliest pugilistic trophy ever awarded Charlie Mitchell accom- panied Kilrain to England, and it was arranged that the fight between Kil- rain and Smith take place in Decem- Der on an island in the Seine, near ROuen, France, for the belt, the championship of the world, and $5,000 a side. The men fought 1O6 rounds, when darkness put an end to the contes-, which was called a draw although Kilrain had the shade. When Kilrain returned to America Sullivan consented to meet him, and Jake lost in 75 rounds.

PINSK IS CITY
 0F HUNGER AND
 FEAR SINCE RIOT
Conditions Following Pc grom Which Has Stirred All Jews Reported
 Terrible.

New York, Sept. 24-Pinsk, Poland, which was reported some time ago the scene Of a bloody pogrom that stirred the Jews of every country in the world, is today city of. starva- ion and fear, according to a com munication just received by the American Jewish Relief Committee from pr Boris Bogen, executive director for Poland of the Joint Dis tribution Committee of American Funds for Jewish War Sufferers.
 About 1000 Jews in Pinsk are ab- solutely destitute. pr. Bogen re ports. Practically no food can be bought in the open market. Char ity is administered picturesquely un- der military observation, and soldiers attend all relief meetings.
 we have a children's kitchen where 5000 children receive rations daily, but a large number are still without food" pr. Bogen states. 'At every railroad station between Brest- Litovsk and Pinsk, the train was met by children begging for bread. These hungry children get no food other than that given them by the passen- gers of trains that pass through this territory once or twice day
 "The situation in Pinsk is appall- ing. The town is still under military rule. No meeting can take place in Pinsk without special permits, so when I arrived I reported to the mil itary authorities and they gave me permission to call meeting. A soldier watched the proceedings. which naturally made the situation very difficult, as the people are so nervous and excited that they do not seem able to take any definite ac- ton.
 "The amount of food in town is very limited. There is practically speak ing nothing to be bought in the open market It struck me as rcmarka- ble that the people still continue their schools and in that respect do not lose heart. The question of housing and providing fuel is also extremely urgent and I hope that additional funds from America will be forthcOm- ing.
 While in Pinsk. I got in touch with the Red Cross station in Kobryn. and succeeded in getting supplies of linen, etc. for the hospital We also sent considerable amounts from our own supplies, and, while this has done a lot of good, men. women and chil- dren are still in rags. But the most unfortunate feature in Pinsk Is the restless, unhappy inner life of the people. They are afraid of every step they take. and. in general, pro- duce a picture of deep distress"

 Mysterious Wedding

communication to that effect shortly thereafter. Two children were born of the first marriage.
 The marriage to Mrs. Geraldine Garrison Kerr, who also had been freed by divorce at Colorado Springs, not long before her marriage to Lane, took place January 30. MT. Lane at present is living with Mrs. Geraldine Garrison Kerr Lane and the two children who have been in the custody
 of their father since the Reno di- vOrce of the parents.
 Following the alleged appearance of the strange woman in the Newark
 court rooms in the Prudential build
 ing. sixth floor, early in June and
 following on the heels of the pubIi-
 cation of the marriage of Lane to
 Mrs. Kerr, the vice-chancellor "took
 a vacation He resigned the day
 after the reputed dramatic scene.
 His resignation was accepted by
 Chancellor Walker, who had appoint
 ed him three years ago. Lane at that
 time was thirty-fve years old, the
 youngest man ever to have been des- ignated for the New Jersey chancery
 bench.
 Then entered the mysterious mar riage of a Joseph Lane'' to a Miss Grace Hercht, who gave her birth | place as Railway, N. J., and her present address as New York city. In their talk with Chancellor Lane | last night press representatives took | up with him the question of what
 motive persons might have for invOlv- i ing his name in such a proceeding as | the Connecticut marriage, but he de- | clined to discuss this.
 :, He did say that he had for some | time been hearing all sorts of rumO-s 1 but he would not explain them. 1 How do you account for the fact 1 that in the Stamford marriage cer- i tificate your parents names. Joseph | Lane and Emma Cokelet, were used? ! And does the presence of these names | on the certified copy give you any 1 idea which you might wish to talk | about or suggest an explanation :? | Does the use of these names suggest | to you any motive on the part of any i persOn2" The reporter asked. { T do not get any idea for discus l sion from those names" was the only | reply Lane would make.

 Fresh Vegetable Season Closing.
 The season for the more perisha- ble vegetables is rapidly drawing to a close. A few weeks ago it was not an uncommon sight to see trucks loaded with four CT five thousand ears of corn or 75 to 100 baskets of tomatoes. Now the total daily amount of sweet corn and tomatoes brought to the. farmers market hard ly equals a large load. Trucks are still coming in well loaded but with a wide variety of vegetables instead of one or two products. The late summer vegetables are being replac- ed by the fall crops. Peppers, egg plant, cabbage, green tomatoes, beets and carrots in baskets. Lima beans and late string beans are some of the more common vegetables now being offered on the farmers market. Cauli- flower, onions, sweet potatoes and cranberries are being shipped in from outside sources.
 Soon after the first heavy frOsts sweet corn. tomatoes, peppers, beans and highly perishabIe vegetables will l have disappeared from the market so the housewife should make use of l these vegeta bles while they last. Crab Apples Scarce. Supplies of crab apples have been very light this year. Peddlers and store keepers have had standing or | ders for crab apples and many of them have been unable to obtain suf- fcient quantities to meet the demand. l A few baskets of crab apples were of- fered to the trade this morning and were quickly snapped up at s1.5O per l4 quart basket.
 The following are wholesale prices. The consumer should expect to pay on the average from 20 to 40 per cent. above those prices, to cover the retail CTS cost of doing business and his legitimate profit. Quantity infor- nation is the approximate amount of produce on the Farmers Market.

and stenographers as yet Neither does it include a lengthy list of in vestigators who received from $1O to more than S10O a day. This salary list totals at the rate of s15,1OO a year, or S1,258 plus a month, leav- ing a balance of some $S,75O a month according to the estimate, to carry on the travels of the European, Pa cific and other tourists of both war and shipping committees up to Jan 10.
 Three Representatives are in Eu- rope accompanied by six others an attorney, a clerk, a stenographer, a deputy sergeant-at-arms and two others whose identity seems yelled.
 The select committee on shipping board expenditures had not rendered any vouchers up to Sept. 5 but Mir Page was advised they had designat- ed a clerk at S200 a month and a public accountant, or investigator at s75O a month. This committee is also on the Pacific coast for an ex- tensive trip.
 Judging by progress to date, the Democratic leaders can see no indi- cation that the Graham or shipping board committees will finish their work by Jan. 1. and consequently they expect to see a request for an other large amount in due time.

ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS CAMPAIGN

The Anti-Tuberculosis campaign in
Lexington and at various points in
Henderson county has been fairly
satisfactory, put on as it was and con-
Quoted with partial organization. Up
to this time Lexington has given be-
tween $4,000 and 100000, which In
cludes $1400 secured by DR.. Sam I,
Parker, at Wildersville. Several
points which have taken the matter in
hand are yet to be heard from. We
are proud to say for DR.. Bradfield, at
Stafford, that his contribution of $500
is the most liberal given by any ply
stefan in the county, but others may
vet do as well. With others who are
and have been helping me in this
great appeal to humanity, | am very
grateful to all who have responded
to the appeal to help save the average
of nearly 5000 lives year in Ten
nessee alone from the white Plague"
Tuberculosis.

The Republicans in their recent
committee meeting passed a eamo-
flaging resolution limiting subscrip-
tions to the national campaign fund
from any one person to 81 1000, which
doesn't mean that the campaign is
going to be "short." When politicians
suddenly turn to virtue in the index
we may be sure that they are get
ting ready to do some neat work in
the Observation-Disclosures Times,
This thousand dollar dodge will no
more bother the Republicans than the
act Of good citizens holding bank stock
in the names of the children to dodge
taxation interferes with their chris
tianity, Both the "Repubs' and the
"Dems" will take all the cash they
can get.

Emma Goldman, the "shemale" An
archist, last Friday gave up the fight
against deportation, rather than be
separated from Alexander Berkman
and other radicals, who were sought
to be sent to soviet Russia. Berkman
has been principally noted for at
tempts to murder and it is only a
wonder that he was not hanged or
shipped away long ago. Emma said
she expected to soon read in Russia
of Americana citizens being de-
ported to Guam or some other COLON
ial possession despite the constitu-
ton which guarantees free speech and
free press. We hope that Emma is
right about it, but we are positively
against deporting anarchists to any
spot on the globe where Uncle Sam
will have to continue to feed them.

NOTICE.

The end of the year is about here
and many of the overseers Of the
county have not filed their reports
for the year 1919, This should be
done at once so collection can be made
of those who have not worked their
full time
Overseers should be very particu-
lar and not report any to have worked
when the same is not true We quote
from Section l6 of the present Road
Law which has application to over
seers who attempt to shield persons
who have not worked their time,
as follows: ANY overseer in charge
Of any road who shall have a receipt
showing work done where said work
was not actually done shall be guilty
Of misdemeanor and fined not less
than $4,000 nor more than 5000" A
gentleman was in the office the other
day and stated that he had been cred
tied with two and one-half days on
his road, when he had not put in more
than that number hours actual time.
This is fraud upon the county and
in strict violation Of the law above
quoted, and should not escape the at
tention of the next Grand Jury.
All male persons between the ages
of 18 and so years, who have not
worked their full time are subject to
pay the residue at the rate of One
Dollar for each day not worked. The
amount has been delinquent since the
first day of September, and should not
longer be neglected The law touch
ing same is as follows: 1.-THE commu-
tation tax shall be due and payable on
September the LIST of each year, and
If the said tax be not paid on that date
same shall on that date become de-
inquent and the Highway Commits
sion shall institute suit for the paw
ment of said tax, and which proceed.
ings shall be by civil suit, and no
property shall be exempt from execu-
tion in the enforcement of the collec-
ton of this judgment, or the High
way Commission may proceed against
said delinquent by criminal action, or
by both civil and criminal as they may
deem expedient. section Is present
road law.
1t can be readily seen that the
Commission under the law,
has no discretion in the matter, and
if it did, it would be unfair and un-
just to permit some to escape while
others are periodically putting in
their time.
Very Resptfully,
Highway Commission Henderson
