Automobile and "Whlte Mule Left
With Danyille Officers By
Two Strangers.

Danville, KY, July 23.-Sheriff M.
]. Farris and Chief George T. Thur.
mond have in their possession an auto
mobile and three gallons of moonshine
liquor. They observed the car going
west on Main street. There was moth
ing out of the ordinary noticeable ex-
cept there were no license tags. The
driver was halted and asked about the
tags. He picked them up from the In
side of the car and stated that he had
Just failed to put the mon. He was
being warned to attach his tags before
proceeding further when the officers
took q look into the rear Of the ma
chine to find three gallon jugs. Fur
Their investigation was made and all
three jugs were found to be full of
pure white liquor. The two men in the
machine we're arrested, the moonshine
put in the vault at the court house and
the car locked up in garage.
The men said their memories failed
them absolutely. The officers told
them to remain in the sherlff's Office
and probably the name Of the person
who had furnished the moonshine
would come to them. about five min
utes the officers returned and the two
men were beating It down the street at
break-neck speed.
Neither Sheriff Farris or Chief
Thurmond had any idea that the men
would try to make their get away,
leaving the machine. The two men
were chased some distance but finally
evaded the officers. The two men told
the officers that they lived in the ex
IRENE west end Of Boyle county. 1t is
thought moonshine still is in opera
ton somewhere nearby. The license
numbers have been forwarded to
Frankfort to the Commissioner of Mo
tor Vehicles in order to establish the

LANGLEY ASSURES
SEN. HARDING KEN
TUcKY'S SUPPORT
Kentucky Congressman Tells Repub.
ncan Candidate That Kentucky
VIII Stand BY Him.

Marion, o., July 22.-John w. Lang
ley, member of Congress from the
Tenth Kentucky district, called on
Senator Harding Tuesday afternoon
and gave him assurance that Kentucky
will roll UP Republican plurality in
November both for President and Unit
ed States Senator.
Kentucky wants a change in the
national administration at Washington
and will do her full part In giving the
country Republican President" said
Congressman Langley to newspaper
men following his visit with Mr.. Hard
ing.
1T was disappointment to many
Kentucky Democrats for Cox to go to
the White House and come away with
the statement that he is in full accord
with the Wilsonian Democracy. l sup
pose Cox must go along with Wilson,
as the Wilson cabinet members have
been required to do to get along with
their chief. Neither Kentucky Repub-
leans nor Democrats will swallow
Article X, although that seems to be
what Cox is now willing to do since his
White House conference.
"Kentuckians like Harding because
he is a plain man and intensely human
and sympathetic. They don't want any
more one-man or super-man govern
ment. They know that Harding's cleo
ton means teamwork in national gov
eminent, that it will assure coopera-
ton between the executive and legis-
lative branches of government. Put II
down that Harding will carry Ken
lucky and also that Beckham's days in
the Senate are numbered"
Congressman Langley motored here
with friends from Huntington, w. Va.
He went to Columbus at night, but will
return Thursday for the notification
ceremonies He reports that Governor
Morrow and A. T. Hert are arriving al
Columbus today after a vacation al
Mackinac Island, and that they will be
in Marion Thursday
