THE COMPENSATION
ACT IS UPHELD BY
COURT OF APPEALS
Kentucky Court of Appeals AfIirms LO-
cal Court and Up-HOlds COnstltu-
tIOnalIty of State WOrkmen's
Compensation Act.

A case which has attracted more
than statewide attention of lawyers
was the case of Kelley Grannison's ad-
ministrator VS.. The Bates & Rogers
Construction Company, carried to the
Court of Appeals from the Mason Cir
cult Court and which was acted on by
the states highest court Tuesday when
Judge Newell was fully affirmed.
1t will be remembered that in 1917
Grannison, while working at dam SS,
fell into. the Ohio River and was
drowned He had accepted the terms
of the State Workmen's Compensation
act and compensation was paid his
surviving relatives by the state com
pensation board. This suit was then
brought asking $4,000 damages and
contending that the Workmen's Com
pensation act was unconstitutional in
death cases.
Attorney Stanley F. Reed, represent
ing the Construction Company, demur-
red to the petition and Judge Newell
sustained the demurrer, dismissing the
suit, when appeal was taken by At
torney A. D. Cole, representing the ad-
ministrator. This decision fully estab-
fishes the constitutionality of the act
as far as state courts are concerned
but it is understood that Mr.. Cole con-
templates taking the case on to the
United States Supreme Court for con
struction on the act.

INDIANS PLAN BIG
SOCIAL GATHERING.

Those Indians down at the wigwam
of Wyandotte Tribe had some rousing
time last night. Sixteen warriors were
given the final act" and all came out
smiling. They can now be called Chiefs
with due propriety. Two more former
Indians renewed their allegiance to
the tribe making an addition of eigh-
teen to the tribes roster of members.
Next Tuesday night the meeting will
be in charge of Chairman Jim" Frost
and his excellent social ommittee.
Those who know "Jim's" ability to put
up good eats know that a big time
along that line may be expected. Then
there will be several long" and
short talks especially by the newly
made Chiefs. 1t is rumored around
that Chief Herb" Williams has been
burning the midnight oil' preparing
his long talk. Herb" will tell the
boys all about the Warriors degree. A
large crowd is sure to be present. The
Tribe would urge the older members
to come next meeting and see the

FIRE HALL FOR EAST
END IS SUGGESTED
Councilman Hunslcker Suggests
Building Of Fire Hall on Old jan
uary Park site In Union Street.

Councilman Frank Hunsicker this
morning suggested to Mayor Russell
and other officials, the erection of a
city fire hall in the eastern section of
the city for the housing of the fire
fighting machine "Uncle Bob" manned
by at least two firemen
This suggestion is made Mr.. Hum
sicker states, when it became known
to him and others through the recent
city-owned fire hall agitation, that at
least 60 per cent. of the fires in the
city are above Limestone bridge. He
points out that If such is the case, a
fire company should be established in
that section of the city Immediately
The January park site on Union
street is suggested as it is on the di-
viding line between the Fifth and
Sixth wards of the city and is in the
center of the big tobacco district. This
suggestion may develop into some ac-
tion on the part of City Council.

PLAN EDUCATIONAL
TUBERCULOSIS DRIVE
Welfare League WIN Finance Program
To BE Launched BY State Tuber-
culOsls Association at Once.

The General Assembly, during its
last days OF the 1920 session, passed a
bill providing that the state take over
and finance Hazelwood Sanatorium, on
the Fourth street car line, south of
Louisville.
Hazelwood is one of three tubercu-
losis sanatoria in Kentucky, but it is
the only one that takes patients from
over the entire state, as the other two
are open but to county cases. The law
provides that the county from which
the patients come shall pay for them
while they are receiving treatment, If
the individuals are unable to pay for
themselves.
Hazelwood has been maintained and
financed by the Louisville Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association, which in turn is
financed by the Welfare League. Since
the sanatorium has been received by
the state, the association is planning
an education program, which will be
financed by the funds usually given to
Hazelwood In this way, the care of
tubercular patients is guaranteed and
progressive educational plan is also
secured.
The Federal Government has offered
to buy the sanatorium for its eX-serv-
ice men, but it was thought best to
keep it for those needing it held in
the state as the Government will no
doubt build one of its own.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING.

The Ripley Bee says: Sam and
Arch Lemons were catching driftwood
in the Ohio River last Wednesday, and
attempted to land a small fleet of logs
as it swept by in the swift current.
They struggled with the raft and
we're taken down the river to Levanna.
At this time their johnboat upset and
Sam, who could not swim, was caught
beneath the boat, and would have
drowned but for his brothers efforts.
When the boat capsized, Sans left
hand was caught between the boat
rope and side and was badly injured,
One finger had to be amputated."

MORROW COMMUTES
DOUTHITT'S SENTENCE
Governor COmmutes Chas. DOuthitt's
Sentence From Death To Life
Imprisonment.

Frankfort KY, March 23.--Governor
Edwin P. Morrow commuted to life i'm
prisonment the death sentence of
Charles Douthitt. The Governor says
while the lay has the right to take the
life of a citizen who has violated its
law in his opinion at has no right to
inflict upon him time after time the
agony of death"
For more than two years Douthitt
has been in a death cell at Eddyville
Penitentiary under death watch. The
death cell is located near the execu-
tion chamber in which the electric
chair is located. 1t is Immediately ad-
jacent to the electric dynamo from
which is furnished the death h-dealing
current.
Eight times" Governor Morrow
said, "Douthitt has seen those confined
with him go from their cells to their
death. Eight times they have passed
him, stopped long enough to bid him
last good-by. Eight times he has
known that they would never return.
HE already has passed through the
agony of death eight times. 1 do moi
undertake to sit in Judgment upor
those who have permitted this delay
l make and know no explanation for it
1t is enought to say that those charged
with the execution of the law SHOULD
have acted in this matter one way OF
the other long ago."
The application for commutation o
sentence was signed by Judge Rober
L, Stout, Commemorative Attorney
Victor A. Bradley, II members OF tn,

COST OF PRODUCING
BURLEY TOBACCO TO
Be SHOWN IN REPORT
Extensive Sur cy Conducted In Burley
Bet BY Experiment station
Dark Belt Survey
Completed.

The cost of producing tobacco in the
Blue Grass hurley belt in 1919 will be
shown in a report of production costs
in the area to be made public within
the next two weeks by the Kentucky
Agricultural Experiment Station,
which is conducting the first tobacco
production cost survey in the world.
Experts of the Experiment Station
have been working in the hurley and
dark tobacco districts of Kentucky
since April, 1919. and the results of
their first year of endeavor in the cost
field will be given to the farmer of
Kentucky shortly.
A report on the survey in Christian
county, heart of the dark tobacco belt
in Kentucky has Just been given.
Statements show costs ranging from
.116 to 29.1 cents pounds and acre
costs from $99.O3 to $3OS69. The bur
ley belt is larger than the dark belt
and the hurley report will not be ready
for publication until some time within
the next two weeks.
Elghty-four crops in Fayette, Jessa-
mine and Scott counties were studied
by w. r. Gabbert, field agent for the
hurley belt, in his survey on the costs.
He visited each of the 81 farms every
week, keeping an account of expendi-
lures for labor, materials and cash for
the crops, Every care was used to
keep the records accurately. In select
ing the farms no effort was made to
get the most successful growers but
rather to have them fairly representa-
tive of the general average.
In April, 1919, the Experiment Sta
ton, with the cooperation of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
began an investigation OF the cost OF
producing tobacco, the object in MIND
being to ascertain the quantitive units
of labor in dollars and the correct re-
lation of the crop to other farm enter
prises. Two routes were laid out, one
in the hurley district, with w. r. Cab
bert, of Lexington, as field man. the
other in the dark belt, with j. B. Hut
son in charge. w. D.. Nichols, of the
College Of Agriculture, was in charge
of the Experiment Station, and F. w
Peck, of Washington, for the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
