HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS
FROM MAYSVILLE FRIENDS.

The Fleming Gazette says: &C. L.
Dudley, one of the well known boys
about town, was the victim of a
storm party one evening last week, the
occasion being the 18th milestone in
his youthful career. Though possibly
not so bad a storm as the one that
raised the town branch, still it washed
in a lot of valuable and useful pres
ents, with which to while away the
hours when not engaged in his present
holiday sport of building a modern
garage on the site recently purchased
by the Dudley Garage Among them
was a dainty cullud maiden, all
dressed up pretty and dancing on
string, the handiwork of his kid sister.
Mrs. Harriette Ashton, a top and
pocketful of tads He'll probably be
out with the other boys in the road, his
knuckle on the dust line soon. A table
full of candles round a whopping big
cake with lots of pink and white ice
cream, made everyone hope Uncle C.
l." has about seventy-five more birth
days soon.

POLICE CONTINUE SEARCH
FOR GIRLS MURDERER
Rejected SultOr OF Murdered Michigan
Girl Is Being Sought BY Officials
and Others Are Held.

Pontiac. Mich, April 2S.-With two
men detained in connection with the
death of Miss Vera Schneider. whose
body was found on the porch of va
cant house here Sunday, Oakland
county authorities tonight were cen
tering their investigation of the mys-
terry on search for another man who
had been a persistent but undesired
suitor of the dead girl
This man, according to Mrs. Charles
Holtzmann, was in Pontiac Saturday
afternoon. Since then, the authorities
said, he disappeared, leaving no clue
to his Whereabouts.
Prosecutor Gillespie stated last
night that Alfred Webb, detained yes
terday, had apparently proved an alibi
and probably would be released.
Allen Best, of Flint, Mich, was held
for investigation today, but officers in
dicated that he would be detained only
as witness. They believed, they said,
that Best had not known Miss Schnei-
der. Best had been stopped and ques-
toned by a patrolman near the scene
of the girls death shortly after her
body was found.
Miss Schneider's body was taken to
her home at Elkton, Mich, for burial

WOMEN MAY VOTE FOR
PRESIDENT, RULING SAYS
Attorney General Dawson Gives Opln-
Ion that Kentucky Women May
Vote For President.

Frankfort, KY, April 2S. - Women
may vote in November in the presiden-
tial election in November whether the
to the Federal Constitution
is ratified or not
The recent act of the Legislature ex-
tending suffrage to women in presiden-
tial elections does not offend the state
constitution, in an opinion by Attor-
ney-General Dawson, given to State
Banking Commissioner Speer.
Speer inquired if women have a
right to participate in the Democratic
county conventions to be held on Sat
urday May l, for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the Democratic State
Convention, to be held in Louisville
on May 4. On this subject Attorney
General Dawson says: 81 am in no po-
sition to give you an opinion, as l do
not have before me either the call of
the party rules under which these con-
ventions are to be held"

BIG ATTENDANCE Is FORECAST.

Next Sunday is going to be the big
gest Go-To-S Sunday y-School-Day Mays
Vile has ever had. If you don't be-
lieve it just take a walk around town
and note the very few homes and busi-
ness houses that are not displaying the
window cards, saying to every passer-
by Were going to Sunday School
May 2nd. How about you?" This is a
pledge to the world that those in the
home or business house expect to at
tend Sunday school next Sunday. Now
if these pledges are kept some OF our
churches will be crowded as never be-
fore. It is surely encouraging to see
the sril.t with which our people have
taken to the campaign.
Let's make it unanimous! We mean
those homes that have not a Go-To-
Sunday-School-D card in their win
dows. If you have not been given a
card call phone 622 and one will be
sent. DO it now.

CROWDS FILL CAPITAL
OF BRACKEN AT The
MARKSBERRY TRIAL
Marksberry Goes On Trial For Murder
of Jesse GIenn-PrisOner Remains
Calm as He Enters Plea of
"NOt Guilty.

Telephone messages from Brooks
Vile this afternoon are to the effect
that a record-breaking crowd of peo-
pie from all parts of Bracken county
fills the capital today anxious to hear
some of the evidence in the case of
Thomas Marksberry, former preacher
farmer, on trial for the murder of his
bosom friends, Jesse Glenn, a part of
whose body was found buried on the
farm occupied by Marksberry.
The opening of the trial this morn
ing was delayed several hours await
ing the arrival of the prisoner and his
attorney. Hon. Blaine Mclaughlin,
who came to Augusta from Covington
over the c. & o. and were transferred
to Brooksville by automobile, the pris-
oner being in charge of Deputy Sher-
iff Thompson.
Reports from Brooksville this after
noon say that although there is a rec
ord crowd Of people in the town they
are all very orderly and no demonstra-
tion against Marksberry has been
shown. Relatives of both Glenn and
Marksberry are present and occupy
seats in the court room near the bar,
The prisoner is said to be very calm
and when he was formally arraigned
by the clerk he stood erect and entered
plea of mot guilty"
Because of the delay in beginning
court this morning only half of the "a
men making up the special list sum
moned for this trial as jurors had been
examined, by , o'clock this afternoon
OF these twelve men examined by the
! lawyers on both sides, eight had been
( struck and four remained in the jury
| box. This is much better than had
been expected as some had thought
that it might become necessary to
summon a number of men outside OF
Bracken county to get the jury OF
twelve men but it now appears that
the jury will be gotten together prob
ably by noon tomorrow or sooner.
The great throng of Bracken county
people in Brooksville this morning
tried to crowd into the court room
Every seat was taken and many stood
while others sat in the windows. The
moving about of those standing seem
ed to greatly annoy the court and
Judge Newell at noon announced thai
no more would be allowed in the court
room for the balance of the trial than
could find seats.
Every precaution against any sort o.
trouble is being taken by the officers
1t is more than likely that night ses
sions will be held and in that event th'
prisoner will likely be kept in Brooks
vile under constant guard. 1t was a
first thought that he might spend thu
nights in Mason county Jail but thii
4 would be almost impossible with nigh
sessions of court.

TENDENCIES TOWARD FED
ERALIzATION EXPLAINED
Prominent COyingtOn Attorney Deliv-
ers Most Interesting Address at
Court House.

There was very good sized audi
ence at the court house Tuesday eve
ming to hear Hon. Harry B. Mackoy,
prominent Covington lawyer, discuss
the subject of Tendencies Toward
LIBERALIZATION and Its Causes" This
was another of series of educational
addresses on political questions more
especially for the enlightenment of the
women voters who will exercise their
right of suffrage for the first time in
the 1920 presidential election.
After tracing the history of the ma
ton through its early days from the
Colonial times down to the Civil War.
Mr.. Mackoy stated that it was indeed
fortunate that after the Constitution
of the United States federalizing the
colonies or states into one great un-
ion, George Washington was chosen
the first President with the great Alex
ander Hamilton, firm believer in cen
tralization of government, as his chief
advisor. He also stated that it was
indeed fortunate that Marshall was
chosen as the first Chief Justice to in
terpret the laws and hold sacred the
constitution thus closer cementing the
nation.
Mr.. Mackoy gave as his opinion the
causes of the present tendencies to-
ward liberalization % Sense of high
er efficiency; (2) the nation has grown
much closer together by its telegraph
telephone, railroads, etc; tS) ma
tional ideal, a national pride and ma
tional patriotism have been increased
by wars; (4) education.
Mr. Mackoy's address was mos
scholarly one and those who heard hin
were indeed fortunate.

nON'T WORRY.

Don't worry about the working man
not being able to buy overalls. If the
price is advanced the overall club can
furnish him his overalls at wholesale
prices which is much less than the re-

responsible for that propaganda about
the working man.
