 During the long cross examination of Ansell, direct attack was made on the lawyer for accepting employment as counsel for an 'infamous draft dodger.'

Passions Playground"

With story, star and production that bid fair to set the pace for screen attractions for months to come, .'Pas- sion's Playground adapted from the famous story of Monte Carlo, .'The Guests of Hercules" by c. N. and A. NJ. Williamson, will be shown at the Lyric theater today.
 The infinite opportunities for pic. turization of the famous gamblins story induced Katherine Mac Donald, the American beauty" to select it as the starring vehicle for her latest re- lease under her contract with First National Exhibitors Circuit. Despite her remarkable past successes, Miss Macdonald has never been seen in picture that equals Passions Play ground for dramatic moments.
 Reared in convent, the blood of gambler in her veins, unknowing of the ways of the world, Miss MacDon- aid takes the part of Mary Grant who leaves the convent upon receipt of her inheritance to make her way to Mon- te Carlo. Here, Mary becomes invo:v- ed in the schemes of a set of society bleaders whose efforts to ensnare her prove to be replete with thrills.
 Perhaps no other fictionized work dealing with the attempts of titled personages and wealthy men and women from all parts of the world to stake their fortunes and titles upon the chance devices at Monte Carlo has met with the popularity of The Guests of Hercules."-

STATE LAW TAXING MIGRATORY FLOCkS OF GOATS, AND HERDS
 OF STOCK, IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

PHOENIX, May 1.-The state law taxing migratory flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle and bands of horses owned by non-residents of Ari- zona was held invalid in the supreme court today. The decision was rem dered in the case of James Smith, a resident of Utah, appellant, against W. P. Mahoney, sheriff of Mohave county.
 smith was tried andAconvicted be- fore a justice of the peace in Mohave county of having brought sheep into .he state without paying the tax on them. He was fined $50 and in de- fault of payment was committed to che custody of the sheriff. The appel iant procured a writ of habeas corpus out on the hearing the court denied the writ and dismissed the petition. It was from that order that the ap- peal to the supreme court was taken.
 The appellant attacked the license tax as being in violation of the con? stitLtions of both the state and na- ton The state contended that it was a police measure requiring the pay ment by non-residents of license fee for the privilege of grazing stock in Arizona.
 In it's opinion the court said:
 Tt is apparent at first blush that the license provided for in this extra ordinary act is imposed for the pur- pose of revenue and consequently does not fall within the protection of the police power of the state. It can not Dc said with any degree of conf

"Assion''


 On May II and 15 the Eagle theatre will have an attraction extraordinary, an offering such as few motion pie ture theatres ever offer. It is Pas sion.'' the First National superdrama with the brilliant Continental Star, Pola Negri, in the stellar role. Pas sion unfolds a thrilling story of the rise of humble little French milli- her to a position where she is able to dominate king. She is character replete with strang mixture of vir- tues and faults, but, above all, she possesses irresistible wiles and smiles, such as easily ensnared men of the highest rank But her great est triumphs prove to be her great undoing in the end and the sequence of events through which she passes in her rise and fall combine to make one of the most appealing and most sen sationally expressing narratives the screen has yet yisualized It is a fore gone conclusion that an unusual :real is in store for every patron of this theatre in witnessing this great phuto- play spectacle

KENTUCKY COAL
INDUSTRY GAINS
OUTPUT in 1920 is 4,5oo,ooo TONS
GREATER THAN IN YEAR
BEFORE.

Kentucky's greatest industry-pro-
duction OF coal--continued It's marvel
Gus growth in 1920. Output of the SS1
mines aggregated 35,000,000 tons, ac-
cording to an estimate made by Law
ton Blenkinsopp, State Mine Inspector
from reports to his office at Frankfort.
In 1919 31,530,OOO tons were produced.
Only four States exceeded Kentucky's
output. They were: Illinois. West
Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Without complete reports from 227
of the SS1 mines, reports up to Sep
tember 1, 1920, showed a production of
23,453,3S9 tons In that period the
leading producing counties were Pike,
Harlan, Letcher, Muhlenberg and
Hopkins. Floyd county in the eight
months period this year produced
1,09S,5G0 tons, with reports incomplete
from 81 mines. compared with 1,004, ,63l
for the. entire year 1919.
The following figures show produc-
ton in Eastern Kentucky counties for
the first eight months of 1920 and the
year 1919.

Building Roads Will
Give Large Employment

The London report says that there
are a million unemployed men in Eng
land and that fully three fourths of
them have families or others depend
ent upon them. The situation is de-
scribed as being most grave" The
government has been appealed to for
relief. The Labor party has asked the
unemployed or to pay each man forty
shillings a week and each woman
twenty shillings, with additional
allowances for dependents. Reports
say that the government plans soon to
provide work for fifty to sixty thou
sand on public buildings and that the
matter of further relief is under care
full consideration. The number out of
employment is rapidly growing in this
country. One suggestion-and it seems
to us to be a wise suggestion-is that
large sums of money already appro-
priated for road building be used all
over the country at this time. The
money is sufficient to put several hun
dred thousand men to work, and even
If it costs little more to build roads
now than it will cost little later 1t
should not be put off. since men need
ne work and the country needs the
roads. The mild weather so far this
winter has t'een a great blessing in
keeping down fuel and clothing ex
penses, but everyb3dy ought to- he-a
work. Let's build roaVa.

ed when much ammunition, stored on
the third floor of the building, eNplod
ed.
Within four hours after the fire was
discovered the Capitol building, con-
tanning the Governors office. State
Departments and priceless records, was
nothing but a mass of smoking ruins.
state officials made no attempt to
estimate the loss, but they said that
the records destroyed, upon which no
insurance was carried, could not be
replaced, and that 1t was impossible
TO estimate their value,
Some State records were saved by
clerks. officials and firemen, who car
ried them from the burning building.
The Capitol building, erected in
1881 Mt cost OF more than 100000.
is believed to have been the only brick
capitol in the United States. State
officials said that the building was
valued at approximately $3.50, 900.

Following Teports from Ciarksburg
that agitation has been started there
for the removal OF the capitol from
Charleston state officials expressed
their opinion that the seat OF the state
government will remain in Charleston.
Governor Cornwell said there is no
probability that the capitol will be re-
moved. He intimated that he will rec
ommend to the Legislature when It con
venes next week that provisions be
made Immediately for the construction
OF another building in Charleston.

ions for the convening of the legisla-
ture, announced that the sessions of

on January ~.
The house of delegates will hold its
sessions In the Baptist temple ,adjoin-
ing the state grounds and the state
senate will convene In the Y NJ c. A,
auditorium adjoining the executive
mansion.
Governor Cornwell speaks of the
capitol fire as something little short
of calamity" because Of the destruc-
ton of records in the several depart
ments, The extent of this damage can
not be ascertained until the vaults are
opened and the condition of the con-
tents disclosed,
The loss in money will not be heavy,
the governor says, because of six mill
lion dollars of insurance carried in a
blanket policy on all the state build
ings.

Growth Of Industry.

Kentucky began producing coal in
1928, and records have been fairly well
kept since that time. But in the 62
years from 1928 to $780, the State pro-
iuced a total of less tons of coal, by
several millions, than the amount now
mined in single year. II now pro-
duces as much in two years as it did
in the entire decade from 1898 to 1907,
when 7O.O00,000 tons were lifted from
the mines.
From 1911 to 1918, inclusive, eight
years, the State produced 176,105,234
tons, as against 1871, 500 tons pro-
duced in the period from 1928 to 1910,
Inclusive.
1t is said that the production would
have been much larger, in both East
ern and Western fields, If the ship
ping facilities had been sufficient. The
act IS that the allotment of cars was
far below the capacity of the mines.
