IbANK ROBBERS
II COMING TO GRIEF
Kentucky Police Continue TIC
Make Arrests and Get Big
Rewards For Work

!! The belief upon. the part of the
police departments i'll vaious
cities OF Kentucky that the band
|of bank robbers who operated so
lpersistently thruout the north
and west, found life too strenuous
after a number had been captur
ed and killed, an disbanding HE
themselves off to erluchy
where operations were started, is
growing stronger. While this
has been suspected for some time
nothing public has been given out
1t is also believed that if this is
the case. the work of the Ken
tucky police is equally as effective
in rounding UP the gang as that
of the officers to the north and
lWcst.
Several have been captured
lsoon after their arrival over the
border from Indiana and other
western cities. Dick Howell
wanted for more than six months
apparently believed himself safe
here. but was picked up at Irvine

tering business for himself. 1t

FEDERAL JUDGES | Hi.
ENJ0|N COLLECTION
Noted Case Concerning Liquor
Taxes Wiz Go To the
Supreme Court

AN important decision i'll tne
high courts which has been anx=
iouSly awaited by many for sew
,efal days, was made at Lexington
Thursday afternoon.
Holding that the case of the
Kentucky Distilleries and Ware
house Company was in many re-
spects similar to that of the A. &
J. Freiberg case recently decided
in which the state of Kentucky
was enjoined from collecting the
50 cents a gallon liquor tax as in
conflict with the constitution OF
the United States, Judge Arthur
c. Dennison, of Grand Rapids
Mich. Judge of the United States
Court of Appeals for the Sixtl,
Circuit; Judge A. M. ]. Cochran
OF the Eastern District Court OF
Kentucky, and Judge Walter Ev-
ans, Of Western District Court
of Kentucky, in Federal Court
granted the temporary injunction
asked for in the petition of the
warehouse company.
The plaintiff must give bone
pending an appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States, to
which Attorney General Charles
Dawson announced it would be
taken by the state.
About $4,000 in taxes is invol-
we'd in the case.
Arguments before the cour:
were oral and very brief, merely
the contentious of the distillers
and of the state being presented
the former being Represented b.
William Marhsall Bullitt, of Lou
isville, former Solicitor Genera
of the United States, and the
Commonwealth by Attorney Gen
eraf Dawson.
The entire proceedings did no
consume over three-quarters O.

then vacated the bench and Judge
Cochran resumed the trial O

RECORD RUN MADE
BY CITY FIREMEN
Illustration of Efficient Service
Being Rendered Which Is
Greatly Appreciated

Just three minutes after a tele-
phone message recently summoned
the Richmond city fire department to
the Payne home, on Estill avenue, ex-
actly one mile from the station, Stone
Maupin climbed from the truck, di-
rected the hose and was playing a
stream of water upon a blaze in the
roof of the building, which was ex-
tinguished with loss of less than
$40.
This run was made on Irvine
street, detour being necessary, ow-
ing to the rough condition of Main
street, and consisted of turning
around the piles of stone in the
street near the entrance to the fire
department, traversing a hill at the
start, negotiating the hill further
east, making two turns, also a COM
plete stop to let passenger train
pass and then another start and run
for the burning building, all of which,
summed up, is some record, to say the
least 1t is doubtful if this perform
ance has been beaten in this state, OF
any other, as for that, and one who
casually observes the action of the
fremen does not realize the service
as it is being presented here. This
fact came as surprise to far. Mau-
pin himself, as we'll as Nose Nelson,
who caught the truck as it wss leav-
ing the department, after the bell
had sounded the alarm.
The time would have been a triflc
shorter, had it not been for the OBJ
stinate refusal of citizen in ringing
the fire bell before the start, which
necessitated Mr. Maupin leaving his
seat and performing this necessary
service before the start could bo
made. The performance has caused
much talk about the city, and while
the firement are not aware of it, In
many instances, they are being high
ly complimented. The service is ap-
precated by the citizen who takes suf-
fcient interest in the affairs of the
city to be a keen observer.
Thus far there have been an ever
dozen fires in Richmond, within ra-
dius Of three miles, this year, the SIX
months period having been all bu'
passed.. Thcs most disastrous was tha'
of the yStose of, Dave Vandeever, OF
Irvine street February led with hal;
of the CONGREGATIONS, six having oc-
Cured in that month. Of these u
Maupini drove. to seven and Nelson
five. There has not been single slight
accident in any way to the truck o.
city property, nor any delay upor
, the part Of the truck, it never having
failed to respond on the instant. The
city firemen were praised some time
ago by the salesman for big fire
engine company for the condition If
| which the local city fire fighting par
aphernalia was kept.
