Pekin, April 4.-China not only has no

April 4.-With the figures of the
March inventory of food stocks on
hand the assistant commissioner of
food control told me what food Rus
sic has available for export as soon
as transport is in condition to move
it. The totals are staggering beyond
the estimate made by foreign gov

Ten million tons of grains now

Siberia and six million in the Ukra-

In addition to grain there are 1O0,-

Russia is as anxious to send this
food as the rest of the world is to re-

REV. II. }. BELCHER PASSES
Loses His Life In Cumberland River

On Thursday morning about ten
o'clock, Rev. T. j. Belcher, his wife
and family, Mrs G. NJ. Richards and
her sister, Mrs. l.. l.. Marshall and
family, of Pennsylvania, and Mrs.
John NJ. Tinsley went down TO the
Cumberland River just back of the
Tinsley home to battle. Mrs. Belcher
and Mrs. Tinsley remained on the
bank watching the others. Mr..
Belcher took to ducking and was
seen to disappear. Several men and
boys were soon drawn to the spot
but none of them could swim and
it was not until young Arnold Ep-
person trod on the body in shallow
water that it was drawn out by the
boy and Arthur Cannon.
For two hours the city doctors
and citizens worked tremendously to
bring back animation and for a
time it was believed that they might
succeed.
Finally Messrs. c. f. Heidrick and
r. H. hewitt arranged for an aero
plane to be sent over from Jellico
with pulmotor and the trip was
made by Walter j. Carr, aviator, in
twenty minutes. However, the effort
proved to be useless. AS a demon
stration of the determination of the
citizens to leave no stone unturned
to save Mr.. Belchers life the limited
was held at Knoxville in order to
bring a special pulmotor which it
was hoped might prove effective.
The medical men came to the de-
cision that Mr.. Belcher met his death
not thru drowning but that a blood
vessel burst on the brain and caused
instant paralysis. He was under the
water some twenty-five minutes.
Mr. Belcher had been in Barbour
vile less than a year and had ably
filed the two positions of pastor of
the Christian Church and Principal
Of the High School.

CORBIN WOULD swIPE
KNOX CIRCUIT COURT

The following article taken from
the Corbin Times shows that an am
liable idea has taken root in the
minds of some of the people Of Cor
bin thru the development of which
they figure on dividing time with us
on Circuit Court.
Should this prove possible, 1t may
also be possible to provide an extra
Judge or two so that the business Of
the additional courts may be expe-
dited. The docket in Knox County
is far behind and the holding of ad-
ditional courts will most likely prove
too great a task on one Judge
Moreover, if M. d. Reed is right
and Corbin is not third class city
in the legal sense of the word, then
neither is it entitled to a division of
Circuit Court with Barbourville.
Finally, we do not believe there is
any way in which Corbin can take
part time with Knox Circuit Court.
"a temporary writ of prohibition
was issued Saturday by the Court of
Appeals against Circuit Judge II. S.
Rose to prevent his transferring part
of the term of the Whitley Circuit
court from Williamsburg to Corbin
which was made third class city
by the last General Assembly. Under
the act of 1907, where there is a
third-class city ten miles from the
county-seat, the Circuit Court is di-
vided between that city and the
county seat, but 1t was contended by
Tailor NJ. d. Reed that two-thirds of
Corbin is in Knox County, and there
fore there is no third-class city ell
tirely within Whitley County. 1t is
argued further that Corbin might
with equal reason claim part Of the
Knox Circuit Court term and by TAX
ing additional territory get part Of
the Laurel Circuit Court term.
This possibility is presented to
the Court of Appeals in the writ of
prohibition filed by NJ. D. Reed, Jail
err, and E. F. Petrey, Circuit Clerk,
both officers of Whitley County,
against R. S. Rose, Circuit Judge,
who cited Reed and Petrey to appear
before him at Corbin last Monday
to show cause why they should not
be fined for contempt of Court for re-
fusing to obey the orders of the
Court. In that case Corbin may have
the distinction OF being the place of
converting for Circuit Courts for
three counties.
"Corbin, as the city limits now eX-
list, is situated in Knox and Whitley
Counties, the line running thru the
cluded in the city limits is in Lau-
rel County.
"If Judge Roses action is sus-
tanned, then the Circuit Courts of
Whitley, Knox and Laurel Counties
will be conducted in Corbin, and an
ordinance will be passed byt he city
council annexing the population adj
jacent to Corbin, but in Laurel COun
ty. Three sets of County officials
would necessarily reside here.
Not having an opportunity to con
slider the case fully, the Court grant
ed an order temporarily restraining

fusing to obey Judge Roses orders
to move their books and the prison.
