NEEDED BY CITY
Should be Purchased For
Convention Purposes, Club
Directors Say.

Because the Auditorium is badly
needed as q convention building. the
Commercial club directors have in
augurated a campaign to have the
building purchased by the city. The
city commission has fixed June 81 as
the date for the special election up
on the question Of purchasing the
structure, and the club is anxious to
get all the facts before the voters be-
fore that time.
1t is pointed out that the city needs
q building with a large seating ca
pacity for big conventions. It will be
used two days this week for a con-
vention that will bring several thou
sand delegates to the city. It is
easily zen what. such conventions
mean to the city in a business way.
II the Auditorium should not be pur-
chased. by the city and should be
closed. there would be no building
large enough for big conventions or
for big dramatic and musical events,
and consequently the city will lose.
Z Then. too, the building is needed
for armory purposes for Company
M. 1t is said. Without it, the mem
bers of the militia would have no
place in which to drill.

There is more talk OF independ-

MURDERED GIRL
Was NATIVE or
NEIGHbOR COUNTY
Miss Louise Doyle Murdered nj
Portsmouth, Was Former
Resident Of Cars, Lewis
County.

The Coroner and officials OF Ports
mouth, Ohio, are working daily in an
attempt to unravel the murder OF j..
w. Newman and Miss Louise Doyle,
who were found shot to death in an
abandoned farm house near Ports
mouth several days ago. Thus far
they have been unable to find any
clews that might lead to the murder
er or murderers. The theory OF sui
eide pact has been exploded.
1t develops that Newman was ma
tive of Adams county, Ohio. while
Miss Doyle was daughter of James
and Molly Doyle and was former
resident Of Cars, KY, just east of
here. With her parents she moved to
Portsmouth about four years ago. She
would have been 10 years old had she
lived until May 10 next. She had for
three years been employed in the file
department in the Excelsior Shoe
plant. She is survived by her mother
Mrs. Mollie Doyle of 1916 Grandvicw
avenue and one brother, Gus, and one
sister, Grace Ellen. aged 16, Her
father James Doyle passed away tn eC
| years ago.
The examination Of the bodies made
by Coroner Hendrickson showed that

ear, through the forehead and thrcua'
the left side, the bullet entering neal
the heart The bullet that caused the

10th BIRTHDAY OF
MERz BROTHERS TO
Be CELEBRATED
Great Sale To BE Held In Celebration
OF Anniversary Of Local Firms
Purchase Of the Old Bee
Hive Store.

Twenty years ago - In 1901, Merz
Brothers came to Maysville and pur-
chased the old Bee Hive store, then,
as now, one Of the most popular wom-
ems shops In Maysville. During those
twenty years, however, great changes
have taken place and today the Bee
Hive Is four times the size of the
store in 1901 and its line OF merchan-
dies is much larger with greater va
rieties including many mems lines.
Today the Merz Brothers store is
one of the most up-to-date retail
stores to be found in the Ohio Valley
handling the same lines of merchan-
disc. With buyers in al 1.-The large mar
kets of America, the management OF
this store is enabled to offer the peo-
pie Of Northern Kentucky and South
ern Ohio the best possible bargains in
,, ready-to-wear clothing, millinery
shoes, and everything else that can be
found in such a store at prices which
may be compared with those prevail
ing In cities many times as large as
Maysville.
Maysville and the people Of this
section have greatly profited by the
coming to Maysville twenty years agC
of the Merz Brothers. These men, gen
tlemen Of the highest type, citizens o
true civic patriotism and business
men of honesty, have since their es
tablishment here, become real par
of the community.
In celebration of their twentieth
birthday, the management of this BIZ
store announces a sale of wonderful
bargains. They propose to divid'
profits during this sale with the peo
pie who have made their success pos
sible. Watch for the announcement
they will be most interesting.
