in evidence a veritable propaganda Of
insistence upon complete disarmament,
a purpose that has never been contem-

Those who are sounding the call for
full and immediate disarmament are
inspired by the highest motives. They
wish to see the world brought to the
point where reason and justice de-
termine political and social questions
instead Of guns and gas and destruc-
tive force. But they forget that not

have cleansed humanity of ignoble and

RANTS EFFORT TO
LAUNCH BALL CLUB
Mass Meeting Friday Evening Results
In Naming Committee on Ways and
Means For Strong Baseball Club
For This Summer.

The mass meeting at the Council
Chamber last night in the interest Of
baseball1was very successful assuring
those who are leading in the organiza-
tion Of a strong baseball club that the
fans OF Maysville are behind them and
will stay behind them during the sea-
son.
An informal expression was asked
from members Of the audience and
quite few spoke telling their reasons
for desiring a strong baseball club.
Smaller towns than Maysville in this
section have very strong clubs and
Maysville should take her place
among her neighbors. No city in this
section Of Kentucky has contributed
more to big baseball than Maysville
and she should continue her support
Of the national sport The little town
of Brooksville only few days ago
raised two thousand dollars to finance
bali club and certainly Maysville
can follow in Brooksville's lead.
After a general discussion, COM
mittee was named composed Of men
from each ward in the city who will
devise ways and means to finance the
proposed club and 1t is to be hoped
that those desiring baseball will stand
firmly with this committee. The COM
mittee is composed of Messrs. Charles
Triebel. First ward; George Duly, Sec
ond ward; John Fansler, Third ward +;
Chris Brown, Fourth ward; Max
Hendrickson, Fifth ward, and David
n Harrison. Sixth ward.

CIRCUIT COURT TO

Is Concerned But Several Impor.
tant Civil Actions Are
Scheduled for Trial.

The spring term Of the Mason Cir
cult Court will be opened Monday
morning by Judge c. d. Newell at the
court house. The first business will be
the impaneling of the grand Jury
which has been summoned to meet at

VIII also occupy much time Of the

There are seven criminal cases held
over from the lower courts to 20 be-
fore the grand jury and so far as is
known this is all the criminal business
the court will have this term. The
civil docket, however, is a very large
one and it is thought that several of
these cases will come to trial. 1t is
expected that the Sphar will case will
go on trial this term and in this case
much interest is shown.

morning and jury trials will then be-
gin.

LET GO UNPUNIShED
Federal Authorities VIII Drop Their
Investigations Of Liquor Frauds,
Announcement Comes From
Louisville Today.

Investigation into whisky frauds in
Kentucky through use Of spurious
permits has been abandoned by the
prohibition authorities, 1t was discov-
cred yesterday at Louisville.
Hopelessness Of the task Of ever
discovering the perplexities of the
frauds was given as the reason.
More than six revenue agents were
busy checking over all whisky ship
ments which left the state until ap-
proximately three weeks ago, accord
ing to Federal agents, but the records
in the New York prohibition office
were so ensnarled that no accurate
work could be done. 1t is estimated
that between 2,5OO,OOO and 100000
gallons Of whisky were purchased in
the state through use Of fraudulent
permits.
Most of the bogus permits came
from New York and pennsylvania
agents explained. The whisky left
Kentucky in trucks over the various
highways to eventually fall into the
hands OF "bootleggers." The prelimi-
nary Investigations showed that the
consignee, found on the duplicate rec
ords Of distillers, had never heard of
any such transactions.
These discoveries, it is said, caused
the embargo on all liquor withdraw
ais. This ban on whisky, according to
agents, was affected primarily to SIM
plify their work.
Because Of the simplicity of the for
mer permit blanks, their forgery was
only matter of printing. State pro-
hibition directors names were placed
on the blanks with rubber stamps.

England, in approaching the United
States on questions of world policy,
apparently will observe these deci-

Proposals to the new administra-
tion will be guided so far as possible
by the reaction which follows the visit
here of Rene Viviani, former French

"sir Auckland Geddes, British am
bassador to the United States, likely
will be designated to head the British
mission to Washington.
"Unless the United States indicates
she is ready to inaugurate a movement
for world disarmament, England may
take the initiative and suggest dis
armament conference.
Britain will consent to the elm
nation of Article X from the League
of Nations, but will urge that the main
body of the covenant be retained. She
will not go as far as France in modi-
fication o fthe League"
Advices indicate that England will
Lot send any ENJOYS to this country
until the French mission is completed.
She will observe the outcome Of vivi-
