MANY TEACHERS FAIL
IN STATE EXAMINATION
Fifty Per Cent of Teachers Taking Ex-
animation In State Under
New Plan.

Frankfort, Ky, June II. OF the
2,402 teachers who took the examina-
ton for teachers certificates, 1882
failed to pass. Sal were granted first
class certificates and 679 second-class
certificates. The figures show that 81
per cent. passed the examination and
40 per cent. failed.
The failure of so large per cent. is
due to the fact that teachers are de-
prived of scholarships in training
schools. Heretofore rural teachers
have been so poorly paid for their
services that 1t has been impossible for
them to receive training in teachers
training schools.
Progressive states have adopted the
plan of bringing the training school to
the teacher by providing one year
teachers training course in each coun-
ty. While Kentucky is far behind along
this line the time is not far distant.
according to Superintendent of Public
Instruction George Colvin, when
teachers training courses will be es-
tablished in a high school in each
county in the state.

LEXINGTON GIRL
PROTESTS INNOCENCE
OF ANY IMPLICATION
Lexington StenOgrapher Questioned
About Elwell Murder Says
She Knows Nothing.

Lexington, KY, June H. = Here I'm
Lexington there is pretty girl
stenographer who bears an excellent
reputation and whose family and con-
nections are all good people living In
this and adjoining counties. The girls
first name is Anne. Her last name isn't
given because she claims to be the
victim of a circumstance and innocent
of wrong doing.
During the recent spring race meet
ing she was introduced to Joseph B.
Elwell by one of her married women
friends one of the several society
women who had entertained the whist
expert while he was here with his
horses.
81 thought Mr. Elwell a gentleman"
she stated today. 81 was told he was,
and he treated me as though he were
gentlmean. was told that he was
not married At the races one after
noon | accepted an invitation to his
box, and on another occasion | dined
with him. He was very nice. l be-
came i'll and he sent me flowers. When
l recovered he had departed for New
York and wrote him a note of thanks,
1 received his response the day after
he was killed"
This young womans father is man
of very moderate means, who resides
in an adjoining county, and she has a
brother who is employed in a neigh
boring town.
The impression here is that the New
York authorities, having found the let
ter acknowledging the flowers and
signed Anne, have seized upon the cir
cumstance to divert attention from
their movements in seeking the slayer
in Elwell's own circle.

IN SUICIDE ATTEMPT.

Carlisle, KY, June 17.-Henry Flynn
farmer, residing on the Maysville and
Lexington pike about three miles from
Carlisle, attempted suicide last night
by drinking liquid which he claimed
was carbolic acid.

Mr.. Flynn was relieved to some extent
by the physicians, who arrived soon
after he made the attempt to kill him
self. He is somewhat improved today.
The physicians say that the chances
for his recovery are fair.
No cause was assigned for the at

Interest in finished cotton goods last
week was centered mainly on new lines
Of wash fabrics fol spring, 1921, offered
by converters. Several spring lines
we're opened and were inspected by
obbers, but rush to buy was lacking.
Some standard lines, such as plain
white goods, were fairly we'll sold, one
firm reporting half the spring produc-
ticr ordered in two or three days. Gray
or unfinished goods were weaker in
second hands and more mills showed a
disposition to come somewhere near
the second hand market on the price
question. 1t is rumored that the mills
are making concessions to large buy
srs. but are holding for firm prices
when approached with small orders.
The slowing down of the automobile
trade is having great effect upon
the cotton goods market. Tire and
top concerns are reported to be asking
that deliveries Of tire fabrics and goods
used in the making Of tops and car up
holstery be delayed in delivery or held
up indefinitely. Outright cancellations
are few, but the important point that
cotton goods men see in the changed
condition is the fact that the automo-
bile trace is net taking the wide cloths,
principally sheetings, as avidly as it
was which portends some relief in the
sheeting shortage in the near future.

Wooiens

While many sellers of woolens and
worsteds who represent the mills as
sert that the general tone of the mar
ket is improving, the improvement is
not noticeable in the movement of
goods. Jobbers' prices weakened fur
Their, particularly in womens wear
fabrics, for which there is a slight
growing demand. The mems wear
market drfted along, and thought now
is being conferred on the showing of
fabrics for spring, 1921. 1t is expected
that the spring openings will be de-
layed as long as possible and will de-
pend largely upon the buyers first
showing some interest. Raw wool
prices sagged still further under a
lack of demand. Many mill owners are
debating the advisability of following
the lead of the American Wooden Com
pany in closing down completely.
