|OVERALL CLUB AT
THE STATE NORMAL
Organization Perfected Mem
bership Increases AS Economic
Wave Spreads Thru School

| Prof. Keith appeared down town
Tuesday donned in overalls and jump
er. He said that the young women of
the institution were discussing econo-
mical matters and that there would
probably be report from them later
on. He admitted his interest in the
movement and believes that the
measure will be for the benefit of all
and that the organizations should be-
come general.
There is a real, for sure Overall
club at the Eastern Kentucky State
Normal school, the organization hav-
ing been perfected Tuesday afternoon
at meeting attended by more than
thirty. There is already a good MEM
bership and this it is claimed, will be
greatly increased as the wave of
economy, as it is called, spreads
through the ranks. According to the
constitution drawn UP and which will
be signed by every member being adj
mitted, there are strict rules to
govern the body, and an ample supply
of legal and other talent to see to the
future welfare both Of the organiza-
ton and members. The constitution,
which was drawn up by Prof. Keith,
the chief promoter, followes:
When it becomes necessary for any
body of people to form league club
or society, public opinion demands that
reasons be given for such action.
The high cost Of wearing apparel
makes it imperative that adequate
steps be taken to combat increasing
prices. Therefore we, the undersign-
ed pledge our support and co-opera-
ton to the following rules and regu-
lations:
"The name of this club, shall be
known as, "Eastern's Overall Club.
Any member of the school who pro-
cures for himself suit of overalls and
wears them each school day of the
week except when excused by a COM
mittee of three, who shall be elected
by majority of the club, shall become
qualified member.
Anyone signing this pledge, who.
does not comply with the above stated
requirements shall be fined 25 cents
| for the first offense and so cents for
each additional thereof.
| If any special occasion arises, upon
request, the president may call the
society together and by a majority
vote, the members shall be permitted
to change dress, for that time only.
The officers of this club shall be
President, Vice President, Secretary,
Treasurer, Prosecuting Attorney,
Seargent at Arms and an Executive
Council of three, to be elected by
majority. To this end we the un-
dersigned, pledge our loyal support.

BIG CHANGE IN
U. s. COURT DOCKET
Due to Activity of Judge Cochran
Who Disposes of Numerous
Cases

y
posing of large number of cases
as the days go by, and the docket
for the present term in the Unit
ed States District Court is rapidly
changing as a result. There were
many transfers again Wednesday
and a number of convictions.
There were several pleas of gull
ty and some of not guilty among
the various defendants presented
to the court.
The first case disposed of was
that of Hugh Logan, Russell
Hines, Raymond Sageser, and
Fred Watts, charged with having
broken into the old Downing
warehouse and confiscated a
large quantity of whisky. All en-
tered pleas Of not guilty and gave
bond late Wednesday for their
appearance, and the case was
transferred to Lexington for
hearing at the next term of court.
John w. Adams, of Breathitt
county, charged with an infrac-
tion of the United States postal
laws, entered a plea OF guilty and
. fine OF $lOO was assessed, which
he paid.
Ira Banks, of Perry county,
charged with operating a whisky
still unlawfully, was acquitted.
He was arrested some time ago
and pleaded not guilty and gave
bond for his appearance. The
evidence against him was not sui
ilclent to warrant a conviction.
Crisley Baker was ont $1OO as
the result Ola fine to that amount
being paid as result of his enter
ing a plea Of guilty to charge of
making whisky unlawfully.
Dan Fandeberg, Earl Huffman,
{. P. Williams, and Milford Ev-
ans, of Boyle county, entered
pleas OF not guilty to a charge of
stealing from a common carrier.
They gave bond after their cases
had been transferred to Lexing-
ton.
George Durham entered a plea
of not guilty to charge Of pur-
loining from a common carrier,
and gave bond for his appearance
later.
O. F. Spencer entered a plea Of
guilty to violation of the ma
tional prohibition law. No SEN
tence was decided upon as yet.
George Wright, against whom
there was a charge OF Violating
the prohibition law entered a
plea of guilty and Is awaiting SEN
tence.
Henry Combs and Gabc Neace
both'entered pleas to a charge of
violating the prohibition law and
each was fined $l00, which they
paid.
Estill Wallace of Irvine, was
found guilty OF transporting Ii
quor and was fined 81 upon advice
of the court, since Wallace stated
that he was not aware that one of
his passengers had liquor in his
possession. Wallace operated
bus line in the vicinity OF Irvine.
The small fine was assessed at the
instigation Of the court, who held
that the carrier of passengers
should learn the contents Of their
Sacks" when such suspicious cv-
idence was apparent.
1t cost Joseph Branson just an
even $100 besides his expenses
and worry, in entering a plea to
a charge Of violating the prohibi-
tion law. He arranged to pay
the fine as soon as it was assess
ed, after he had ertered his plea
and there were but a few minutes
spent in hearing and disposing of
this case.
George Hays, who entered a
plea of guilty to having unlawful
ly been in the possession OF intox-
icating liquor, paid a fine of $50
and Wade Combs paid 500 which
he was fined for similar oHense,
as did Aaron Fender.
