Throughout the campaign Judge
Morgan has not made e1travaSant

RETURNED MISSIONARY TELLS
INTERESTING STORY OF JAPAN
Rev. S. L. Hager, Student of DIR. Dick
ey, Gives That Good Man Credit for
Great Work Done In Island
Empire.

There was a very large audience at
the Little Brick Church" Sunday eve
ming to hear Rev. S. f Hager, return
ed missionary from Japan. tell a most
interesting story of his % years ex-
perience in that Island Empire during
which time he has established many
churches and baptised thousands of
converts.
Rev. Hager paid very high tribute
to DIR. Dickey. the local pastor. when
he laid at the feet of that veteran all
the laurels he had won across the seas
and admitted that all he had been able
to accomplish through the Almighty
was due directly to the influences.
training and support given him by DR..
Dickey.
Mr.. Hager was discovered in the
mountain town of jackson by DR..
Dickey. He was educated in a school
founded and taught by the local pas
tor who baptized him and first licens-
ed him to preach.
Mr.. Hager's lecture was very inter-
esting. He traced the progress of Mis-
sion work of the Southern Methodist
Church from its establishment TO the
present time. His address was filled
with touching incidents and he
brought it to great climax by sing
ing in Japanese, the audience joining
in the chorus in English.

DETECTIVES FIND MAN
UNDER INDICTMENT
IN MASON COUNTY
Mason County Man Who Cashed Two
Cheeks Issued BY Commission Mer-
chants Brought Here From
Ohio To Face Trial.

Since last January Mason county au-
thorities have been looking for Dora
Owens, a former farmer of the Mays
lick neighborhood, who was indicted
by the January grand jury on charge
of obtaining money falsely. He was
located Sunday by the aid of opera
tives of the Burns detective agency at
the home of a brother near Higgins
port, Ohio, and was brought to Mays
vile this morning by the marshal of
Higginsport and turned over to the
Mason county authorities.
1t is alleged that Owens sold a ship
ment of cattle to Budd G. Company,
Cincinnati Commission Merchants and
received from them check for $996.22
in payment for the cattle. A short
time later the firms bookkeepers
found they had made a mistake in is
suing so large a check in Owens ia
vor and they issued a corrected check
for $961.SS which they sent to him ask
ing that the first check be returned. 1t
is alleged that Owens cashed both
checks in a local bank and left for
Ohio.
When it became known that the To-
cal officials could not locate Owens in
this section, the Cincinnati commission
house retained the services of the
Burns Detective Agency and they
have been trailing the man and final
ly located him on Sunday.
Owens brother came to Maysville
with him and offered to put up a cash
bond for his brothers release A check
for $500 was rendered Circuit Clerk
James B. Key who refused to release
the prisoner, however, until he had as
certained that the check was good. The
check was deposited in a local bank
and the Higginsport banker was wired.
When the Higginsport banker wires
Mr.. Keys banker that the check is
good, the prisoner will be released on
bond for trial at the September term

MCADOC GAINS
STRENGTH AS Big
CONVENTION OPENS
Big Fight Of Democratic Convention
Opening Today Promises To BE
Over Wet and Dry Issues.

San Francisco, June %. - The first
and the biggest fight in the Democratic
National convention opening here to-
day, will be over the question of wet
OF dry declaration in the platform.
Only when that is settled will the dele
gates take up the matter of nominating
national ticket.
]. Bruce Kremer of Montana, vice
chairman of the National committee,
had been selected to call today's ses-
sion to order and to present National
Chairman Homer S. Cummings. At the
conclusion of the keynote address of
Mr.. Cummings all that remained to
complete the days program was to ap-
prove the selections for the various
committee members already made by
the State delegations.
Every evidence today is that a group
of independent delegates had planned
to seize the bit in their teeth and run
away with the convention so far as Sc
leCtlOn Vi lhe pTeSlueulldi hOiiihSO iS
concerned.
If this program is carried out sue
cessfully. William G. McAdoo, despite
his formal withdrawal from the race.
will be nominated within six ballots.
The most optimistic McAdoo enthusi-
asts even predicted his nomination on
the fourth.
Seasoned political observers, i'm
mune to political mirages and other
phenomena, generally agree the main
thing standing in the way of a Nc
Adoo victory has been the lack Of CO.
ordination among his supporters.
His friends. however, expect to COM
plete an effective organization within
a few haurs.
McAdoo's "irrevocable" withdrawal
statement apparently had had the
same effect as though he had stamped
on a big fire, subduing the principal
blaze, but scattering sparks that i'm
mediately sprang into life as a myriad
of smaller blazes. Backers of the for
mer secretary of the treasury hope
| these minor blazes will spread suffi-
ciently to intermingle in a huge con-
hagration that will sweep the national
convention.
