American governments, vie In being
Wilsonians in the affairs OF other

Naturally there are many differences
Of opinion In the suggestions alta ched
to these assurances OF support. but on
one point all are agreed. The mind Of

guarding OF the Italian populations on

The foreigner who rises against

they never understands
In view OF statements that Italy &C
cepted Mr.. Wilson's Fourteen Point,
without reservation. II Is well TO repeal
that Premier Orlando made definite
reservation at the time Germany signed
the armistice rssarding the frontiers OF
Italy, and to add that he was assured
that Germany's acceptance Of the Four
teen Points as the basis OF tho arms
tice did not prejudice the italian sttua
ton as regards frontiers.
Premier Orlando has definitely stated
this reservation, and II may be hopee
this argument will not be used again.

connected with their discovery.
It Is asserted that In the cellar, which
Is cemented, large bioodstains covered

The chief evidence adducsd against
Landru since his arrest according to
the police authorities. has been supplied
by papers found In his possession. These,
IL In asserted, included a list of eleven
persons-ten women and the young son
OF one Of the women. 1t has been ascer-

The speaker said President Wilson's
message had hurt every Italian heart
and that the chamber must give a frm

equally sacred right OF revolutionary
Russia.

CIRCUS DAY DRAWS
Big CROWD TO CITY,.
MANY SEE PARADE
Gentry Brothers. Circus Attracts Old
Time Circus CrOwd-GOOd Show.
Ing Made in Parade-Many
Attend Show.

Wednesday circus day saw a
great crowd of country people from
all over this section in Maysville. The
people in this district had been very
hungry for circus for long time
and the parade that Gentry Brothers
shows put up leads one to think that
their show was the kind the folks have
been wanting for long time.
The parade was a very creditable
one with pretty little ponies, lions,
camels, elephants, pretty women, fun
ny clowns, good horses and highly
colored wagons as well as the usual
cage Of monkeys and well behaved
dogs The showing made in the pa
rade drew quite crowd out to the
grounds for the afternoon perform
ance and 1t is expected this evening
the large tent will be filled to over
flowing.
Reports come from other cities that
Gentry Brothers are putting up a real
ly first class entertainment this year.
One of their feature circus stunts is
William Georges somersaulting. This
wonderful acrobat daily turns 20
somersaults in 70 seconds and on
Monday in Lexington on bet he
turned 100 times in 100 seconds. The
other usual circus stunts are to be
found in profusion.

Lewis HARRIS TO
Be ELECTROCUTED
BEFORE DAY FRIDAY
Maysville Negro Man Charged With
Most Bold Murder In the COunty's
History VIII Die In Electric
Chair Friday Morning.

Before sun-up Friday morning, June
6, Is the day set for the execution at
the state penitentiary at Eddyville,
KY, of Lewis Harris, colored, of this
city and all arrangements have been
made for carrying out the sentence
placed upon him by a Mason county
jury and sustained by the Kentucky
Court Of Appeals.
Harris crime is fresh in the mem
ory of local people. 1t has been re-
hersed several times and although
Maysville and Mason county has had
several cruel murders in its history,
1t has never had more cruel one
than that for which Lewis Harris will
pay Friday morning. The Court of
Appeals in reviewing the evidence in
the case on a motion for a retrial,
stated that 1t was one of the most
heinous crimes they had ever been
called upon to review.
Arrangements have been made, 1t is
understood, by Harris aged mother,
who was at his side and gave him
financial assistance in the fighting of
the case, to have the electrocuted body
returned to Maysville and burial will
be made at this place. This arrange
ment was made with local undertake
er several weeks ago and will be car
ried out as 1t is the aged mothers de-
sire that her sons body be near her,
Harris had threatened that he would
never go to the chair but that he
would take his own life or make it me-
cessary for some of the officers to kill
him before he was led to the chair.
Otherwise he has been a model pris-
oner both in the county Jail and since
he has been confined to the death cell
at Eddyville. The officials have watch
ed over him very carefully, knowing
of his threats, and have not given him
the least opportunity to do himself
violence.
Harris at no time denied that he
killed his wife but claimed that he did
not know what he was doing. So long
as he was confined to the Mason coun-
ty jail he showed no remorse and re-
fused many times to make any state
NETS for the public either to newspa-
per representatives or to officials.
So far as is known there will be no
one from Mason county at the execu-
tion and after the execution an Eddy
vile undertaken will claim the body
for his mother and forward 1t to this
city.
