OIL WELL SPURTS
AS WOMEN PRAY
For Weeks Mother and Daugh-
ter Had Hoped-Wealth
Now Assured.

LEXINGTON, KY. Feb. 17.-Mrs.
Mary Gaines, OF Warren county, to-
day is a firm believer that prayers are
answered. For weeks Mrs. Gaines and
her young daughter had prayed that
oil would be found on their farm.
Their plea has been answered by a
gusher.
The Gaineses have poverty
stricken clay farm near the great oil
field of Warren county. 1t had barely
given the family a living for years.
They leased the land to a speculator.
Mrs. Gaines daughter confided to
the driller that she and her mother
had been praying nightly that oil
would be struck. Suddenly there was
heard a dull roar and the driller
shouted for fires to be extinguished.
This had barely been done when
there came a great rush OF oil. Hun
dreds of barrels were lost before the
big well could be tapped.
Mrs. Gaines bids fair to be indie
pendently wealthy in a few weeks.

International News Service.
The communist, party Is renewing
ifs activities throughout the United
States and 'is threatening to become
as active again as II was before the
Department OF Justice sought TO
stamp II out" Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer declared today.
DEFENDS HIS POLICY.
Palmer resumed his defense OF the
Department OF Justice and It's bureau
OF investigation in conducting feo
raids" when he reappeared before the
Senate Judiciary Committee when Is
considering the question or amnestieS
for Eugene v. Debs and others con-
victed of violations OF the. espionage
and other wartime acts.
The chief object OF the commun-
list party now. as IL was when the
Department OF Justice proceeded
against its leaders. Is the destruction
of the United States Government and
the substitution in it's stead or Soviet
rule" Palmer asserted.
He charged that criticisms Of the
methods employed by himself and
the Department OF Justice in dealing
with men and women rounded up In
the "Red raids" were largely In
spired by widespread propaganda
circulated by those afflicted with the
Communist party. -
KNOWS ABOUT CRITICS.
"We know who are our principal
detractors," Palmer said. I'VE know
they are the same men and women
who have been preaching Boil
shevism and the overthrow OF the
United States Government. They are
becoming as bold and defiant as they
were before we undertook, In com
plete accordance with the laws OF the
United States, to suppress. punish
and deport persons advocating the de-
struction OF our government and OF
officials of our Government. The at
tacks made upon myself. and those
associated with me in the Attorney
Generals office and the Department
OF Justice, emanate from the same
dark, devious sources as the attacks
upon the Government of the United
States itself"
"REDs, ACTIVE AGAIN.
Palmer declared that "Reds" are
not only active again IN this country.
but that they will prove a source
of trouble to the next Administra-
ton.
He presented a heap of documents
Justify the wholesale arrest OF those
caught in the countrywide net thrown
out by the Department of Justice
year or two ago for members OF the
Communist Party and for alleged
Reds.
"I shall later have complete
statement to make in reply to my
critics and detractors," Palmer added.
II shall make this statement In the
interest of law and order, and not
because ! am particularly concerned
with the efforts made by my enemies
to misrepresent or belittle me or my
office. or the Department of Justice.
And 1 shall back up my statement
with proof OF the activities and as
sociations OF some of those whom l
hold responsible for the attacks which
have been made on the Department Of
Justice"

KENTUCKY WILL NOT LOSE CON-
GRESSMEN

Kentucky is not to lose a member of
Congress, if present plans are carried
out, and they probably will be. The
House committee on the census, of
which Representative Siegel, of New
York, is chairman, is planning to
take up the reappointment of new
members under the 1920 census at a
meeting of the committee. This COM
mittee, In the last Congress, reported
a bill providing for the same number
of members as in the present House.
But, because some States had grown
more than others, the retention of
the same number caused a decrease in
the membership of some States and
an. increase in others. Such storm
of protest was aroused by the cutting
down of the representation in these
States that the bill was abandoned
and no change was made in the old
representation.
States which gain in membership
would have to be redistricted or elect
from the present districts and the al
ditional member or members could be
chosen by the State at large until
such time as the Legislature might
redistrict the State. But Kentucky
would be spared this necessity, as the
present districts in all probability
would remain untouched.
1t was very largely because of the
situation in Kentucky that the plan
of retaining the present membership
of 435 in the House was defeated in
the last Congress. 1t was feared
that by reducing the number of mem
bers at time when the legislature
was not in session to redistrict the
State, all the members would have to
be elected at large and the State
might become solidly Democratic. So
the plan was abandoned.

A plea for 2.75 per cent. barley
beer was made before the Joint Con-
