COAL INDUSTRY
DRAWS CRITICISM
(Bv Associated Pressl

Washington, Dec 14-Sharp criti-
cism of the national coal industry,
with an implied threat of drastic leg
islation by congress to meet alleged
evils of profteering and speculation,
accompanied partial report of the
Senate Committee on Production and
Reconstruction submitted to the SEN
ate today. In general the report,
which asks power for the committee
to continue its Investigations, sug-
gests government activities to bring
about cooperation. In addition, the
republican members, Senators Cald-
er, Edge and Kenyon asked special
legislative attention to the present
methods of producing and distribut-
ing coal. Calder asserted "this must
be corrected" while Kenyon declar-
ed that if it is not corrected "harsh
as the remedy may be, 1 shall favor
taking over the mines" Edge voic-
ed opposition to government intrusion
into private industry, but advocated
legislative scrutiny.
The report asserts that coal profit
eering is continuing unchallenged by
the Department of Justice.

AT power PLANT
Establishment of KY. Utilities
One of Most Modern and
Complete In State

The new machinery at the plant of
the Kentucky Utilities company has
been installed under the supervision
of Superintendent G. T. Fawkes, and
is now operating in very salts
factory manner and the plant is be-
lieved to be one of the most modern
ly and completely equipped of any in
this part of the state.
The company will henceforth have
power for the entire city for years,
with some to spare. The building
has been improved also as a result of
the accident of sometime ago, which
necessitated the installing of a new
engine, new generators, eXciters and
other paraphernalia. The engine now
in use is twice as powerful as the
old one. The work of starting the
new machinery, together with the
completion of the building has been
finished much to the satisfaction OF
representatives of the company. The
plant with the new machinery is g
wonderful power-producing estab-
lishment.
Representative of the company
in speaking of the improvements, ex-
pressed their appreciation of the
consideration of the public in gen
eral during the time the plant was

LEAF WAREHOUSES;
WILL Open DEC. u
Preparations Being Made To
Move Finest Grade Early To
Make Room For Livestock

! The first of the tobacco to reach
4he local warehouses, is expected
to make its appearance within
short time, since it is reported the
houses will be opened on Decem-
Der 18th.
This will admit of many, it is
claimed, moving much of their to-
bacco, which they are anxious to
do in order to make room for the
housing of their stock for the
winter. Owing to the fact that
the acreage was greater than ever
before, every available foot of
barn and shed space has been
utilized and much of the leaf was
exposed to the weather in some
instaces.
The sales are expected to &c
started on time, according TO n
dications, and reports have it tx:
tee will be a bountiful supply
of the weed on hand =.
Producers are preparing TO take
the advice of many and are pre-
pairing to move only the best
grades to the warehouses for the
early sales especially. The to-
bacco is being graded closer than
ever before, and it will be easy to
discern at a glance, the grades
present. Some declare the pros
poets for a good price are better
m this than MANY other counties
but would not give their reasoN
for SO stating. The matter c
afiliating with the Burley Tobao-
co Growers Association is still
hanging fire, although there are
indications that there will be a
good representation from this
county when the sales start.

DEMPSEY Defends
HIS TITLE TONIGHT
(By Associated Press)

New York, Dec. 14-For the
first time since Jack Dempsey
won the heavy weight champion
ship, New York patrons of the
fstic sport will have an oppor--
tunity of seeing the big fellow in
action at the Madison Square
Garden tonight.
Bill Brennan, formerly of Chic
ago, but now residing here, is the
challenger for the title. These
two met at Milwaukee nearly
three years ago and on that occa-
sion Dempsey scored a technical
knockout in the sixth round. That
was long before Dempsey beat
Willard for the title. Brennan
still believes that he has chance
to redeem himself in this bout.
"I'm not afraid of Dempsey"
Brennan said a few days ago at
his training quarters here Jack
knows [ gave him good battle
when we met before and but for
an injury to my ankle when I fell
I could have gone along with him
in good shape"
Most of those who have seen
both men in action, however, are
not quite so confident as Brennan
on this point. So far as build and
measurements go the men seem
pretty evenly matched on paper,
but when seen in ring costume at
their respective training quarters.
Dempsey looked to be much the
more robust of the pair. The
champions weight looked to be
more evenly distributed while
Brennan is the rangy type of ath-
lete who does not round out quite
as pleasing to the critical eye but
gives unmistakable indications OF
possessing two essentials, assur-
ance and endurance.
| Since the Walker law permit
ting a revival of boxing in this
state became operative nearly
three months ago, local fans have
been looking forward for heavy
weight but to be put on by some
lof the promoters and Tex Richard
, is furnishing the initial clash be-
tween the big fellws under the
new legal conditions.
Brennan has been seen here
several times in bouts during the
lregime of the Frawley law and in
nearly every instance the Chicago
man acquitted himself creditably.
Some New York patrons OF the
ring only remember Dempsey as
an unpretentious newcomer from
the west, who boxed twice at a
Bronx club house, and in another
minor battle a few years ago. To
night they will see a wonderfully
| improved fighting machine, who
in little over four years has
made his way to the top of the
istic ladder through persistent
hard work and who possesses al
the attributes which are neces-
| sary in the makeup of cham
lpiov heavy weight pugilist.

GARAGE BURNED;
AUTO DESTROYED

The garage at the home of George
Velmillioc, one mile west of Ford,

night, an automobile belonging to
Mr.. Vermillion being burned as well
as other contents of the building.
1t is understood that there was no in
surance on any of the property de-
stroyed. Mr.. Vermkllion does not
know the origin of the fire. The

HARD WORK TO
ENFORCE GAME LAWS
Warden Who Was Doing His
Duty and Is Known Here,
Arrested In Adair
(By Associated Press)

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 14-Sixty-
three arrests for violation of the Ken
lucky Fish and Game law, with 80
convictions, was the record of the
game wardens throughout the state
during October and November, ac-
cording to Maj. c. j. Meredith, super
intendent of wardens of the State
Fish and Game Commission. Thirty
two of the arrests and % convictions
were obtained by volunteer wardens,
who are assisting the department in
it's efforts to conserve the fish and
game of the state.
One of the bitterest fights in the
history of Kentucky is being waged
continuously by the Fish and Game
Commission in it's efforts to conserve
the fish and game of the state, says
Secretary John Dillon, of the commits
sion. In some sections the efforts
to enforce the conservation laws are
being fought by even the judges of
the courts, he said.
Strenuous efforts have been made
to enforce the laws in every part of
the state but with little effect in
some, according to the secretary. In
Owsley county, for instance, he said
that only two hunting licenses had
been issued up to Dec. LIST.
"Owsley county has not had game
warden for more than two years."
said the secretary. "We have been
unable to get anyone who would
make arrests since Warden Roberts
was killed from ambush as a result
of his activities among the noun
taineers."
Mr.. Dillon told of a fight being
waged in Adair county. Warden S. J..
.Embry, of Stanford, caught several
men hunting out of season in Septem-
Der, 1919. All except one escaped at
the time but later were arrested and
pleaded guilty.
In July these men obtained an in
dictment against the warden on
charges of trespass and breach of the
HCttCC. IIC WdS IIGCu VI IAIC CiCoDCoo
charge but was found guilty and fin
ed $50 and costs on the other.
An attempt is now being made to
have Mr. Embry indicted on charge
of perjury growing out of his last
trial, according to letter written to
the commission by X. S. AlcOrn, a
Stanford attorney who was retained
to defend the warden. The judge
who heard the case, Mr. Alco1n
wrote the commission, advised the at
torney to have his client plead guilty
to the charge of breach of the peace,
declaring that if he took the stand in
his own behalf, he would be indicted
for false swearing. Embry refused
to plead guilty.
In the case of man at Camp
bellsvile who buys and sells gray
foxes, which, according to Mr.. Dillon,
is contrary to the Kentucky law, the
man was freed and fox given back
to him by the county judge, after a
game warden had caused his arrest.
