IMPORTANT RULING
ON LIQUOR STORAGE

Washington, Nov. 8-Liquor le-
gally acquired by a person for
personal use, may be stored in a
place other than his home, under
a ruling today by the Supreme
Court.
The Court declared Congress
did not intend to prohibit the
storage of liquor when the liquor
was lawfully acquired for lawful
purposes, and asserted the retcn-
ton Of liquor by a storage com
pany was not possession" within
meaning of the Erlsscad act, nor
would its transpotra.ic1 from
such storage place to the home of
the owner constitute "trarsporta-

GOOD PRICE PAID
EMPL0YE BY FARMER
Madison County Rate Higher
Than Some Others-Tobacco
Stripping Under Way

Madison county prices for
country work compare favorably
with those of other counties,
while some are above, it is said,
especially for cutting corn, this
work having been almost com
Ipleted III this section.
For shocks 10 hills square, SO
cents is usually paid and in some
instances, IS cents, where other
counties report prices of from Is
to 80 cents. For Is hills square,
Modison county is paying IS and
40 cents it is claimed, while the
prices are quoted lower in other
counties. 1t is believed the ad-
vance dprices in Madison county
are due to the excellence of the
corn crop, some of it being the
largest ever grown here.
There has been little employ
ment thus far, it is claimed, in the
way of stripping tobacco, and
where it is in evidence there is no
stipulated price, except between
the employe and employer, it is
said.
"We have been paying as much
Or more" said one tobacco raiser.
than me in other counties, and |
expect those who work here will
get as much for their efforts as
anywhere else, and probably
more"
When asked regarding the
movement reported to ship much
tobacco to the Lexington market,
a number of them stated they
wanted the best price they could
get and believed they would stand
as good a show getting a good
price here as elsewhere.
"There will be more of a regu-
lation price this year than ever
bfore," said another grower "since
there has been more standardized
ton and grading work done, and
this will be continued as the to-
bacco is stripped, and the result
will be that buyers will see readi.
ly what they are getting, will be
able to judge the quality, and the
producer will just as readily real
ize what he should have for his
product. 1 don't believe there
will be so much slip-shod worl;
found about the markets this
year." he stated, "the producers
being more cooperative in their
method of securing prices, sales.

SMALL GIRL KNOCKS OUT
MIGHTY TARTAN HERO

Donna Pepita Ramirez, playing the
Algerian dancing girl in Revenge
of Tarzan," which Goldwyn is distri-
buting for the Numa Pictures Cor
poration, claims to have knocked out
both the breath and a tooth of the
mighty Tarzan, played by Gene Pol
lar. Although quite a small girl
Miss Ramirez has the distinction of
accomplishing what several groups OF
Algerians and Apaches had failed to
do. 1t happened this way: A scene
of the drama calls upon Tarzan to
escape from window, 20 feet above
the ground, by jumping with Miss
Ramirez in his arms. He jumped, but
the little actress must have concen-
trated all of her 120 pounds in the
wrong place, for when the two landed
after the jump Mr.. Polar, the dancer
thought, seemed unusually quiet. He
was-and there was days delay fol
him to catch his breath and be equip
ped with a new tooth.
'The Revenge of Tarzan," the sec
ond of the thrilling ape-man stories
by Edgar Rice Burroughs to be film
ed, comes to local picture houses on
Thursday and Friday.

FLOYD BYRD TO HUNT
HARLAN MURDERER
Brock Displeased Over Release of
DIR. Winnes - New Probe
Starts Today

Harlan, KY, New. 8.-Senator Hi
ram Brock, who is reopening the in
vestigation into the murder of Miss
Lura Parsons, Sunday protested al
the release of DR.. HI. C. Winnes be-
fore he was given an opportunity to
give any evidence against him.
DIR. Winnes was released from jail
Saturday afternoon on a writ of ha-
beas corpus following his arrest on
Thursday on warrant charging him
with murder and sworn to by Mr..
Brock.
Mr.. Brock said he told officials
Friday to keep his posted on any
steps that might be taken by attor-
neys for DIR. Winnes. The first he
knew of the motion to release the
prisoner was late Saturday afternoon
following the" release, when DR.. Win
mes and one of the attorneys met Mr..
Brock in a telegraph office.
Not only was he not notified Of the
steps by DIR. Winnec' attorneys, but
the arguments before the county
judge were held behind quietly closed
doors, with only three or four persons
present" said Mr.. Brock.
"I understand that attorneys for
the doctor simply told County Judge
Bailey in arguing the motion that he
had no jurisdiction because the grand
jury already had dismissed the war
rant against him.
County Attorney Forester then
said there was no new evidence so
far as he knew and agreed that the
court should not have jurisdiction and
then the order was entered to release
DIR. Winnes," Mr.. Brock continued.
E'I was given no chance to show
any of the new evidence which the
settlement school had obtained and
has reduced to writing. l feel that
should have an opportunity to pre-
sent this. The action of the officials,
it seems to me, indicates undue par
tiality toward the DOCTOR"
Mr.. Brock said, in swearing to war
rants against DR.. Winnes and James
Robinson, negro water carrier at the
convict road camp, he had in min
only the desire to keep these men in
custody pending complete investig a
tion into the assault and murder of
the settlement school teacher on the
mountain trail September z.
Robinson was brought to Harlan
Saturday night from Frankfort and
placed in Jail here. He will be ar
raigncd before Judge Bailey today
and it is probable his examining trial
will be set for Tuesday.
DR.. WINES agreed to stap until to-
day as witness in Robinson's case.
At the same time the probability ex-
lists that another warrant may be
sworn to against DR.. Winnes and any
new habeas corpus writ fought on
the gorunds of new evidence.
A. Floyd Byrd Lexington attorney,
has gone to Harlan to represent the
Pine Mountain Settlement school in
the second investigation which is be-
ing started today, seeking to find the
slayer of Miss Lura Parsons, who was
assaulted and murdered on a lonely
mountain trail leading to the school
September z.
Women's clubs of the state and
friends of the mountain school are
raising a fund to prosecute the inves
tigation, and many prominent people
are pressing the inquiry.
