KENTUCKY HOTELS
MUST USE PURE
WATER FOR GUESTS
List Of Resorts Complying With the
Boards Order VIII Be Published
the State Board Of Health
Says.

Resorts throughout Kentucky will
not be given permits to open up next
season or, in the case Of those which
are open the year around, to continue
to operate unless the drinking water
that they use is absolutely safe, un-
less they have an adequate system for
the disposal Of sewage, and unless
their kitchens and dining-rooms are
screened against flies.
Notice to this effect will be formally
given all the resorts of the state my
DR.. A. T. Mccormack, State Health
Officer Louisville, and later In the
year DR.. j. l. Whittenberg, State San
itary Inspector, will visit the resorts
to see that they have made or are
making plans to comply with these re-
quirements.
This action was taken by the State
| Board of Health after Dr. Mccormack
had received a letter from the City
Health officer at Cincinnati informing
him that every one of the seven men,
bers of a family which spent last sum
mer at a Kentucky resort had Kta ty-
phoid fever.
The water supply of the report was
investigated and it was discovered
| that it had two springs, one above the
hotel and one below it, the upper one
perfectly safe, but the lower one con-
| taminated by leak from a sewer. In
quiry brought to light the fact that
the seven people who had been i'll
with typhoid fever all had used water
from the lower spring.
DR.. Mccormack announcement of
the requirements of the State Board
of Health for safe water, adequate
sewerage and proper SCREENING also
states that the board will prepare a
list of the resorts which comply with
its specifications, this list to be fur
nished State Health officers outside
of Kentucky. These officials then will
have for ready reference list of the
resorts which it is safe for them TO
recommend,

Prices remained steady on the
Maysville looseleaf tobacco market to-
day and good tobacco is still bringing
what Is considered a good price in
face Of conditions and the general de-
cline. Low grades remain very low
selling as low as fifty cents a hun
dred and no market for them at all.
Factory buyers are quitting on the
low grades and they are taken in most
every instance by either he house
men or the spectators.
Prices went as high as So cents on
the market today--two cents higher
than the highest price offered on yes
terday's sales. The crop of Chas. Rud-
der, grown in the Petersville neigh
borhood, Lewis county, brought an
average of Al cents net at the Home
warehouse this morning.
Block sales at the Amazon and Cen
tral houses were completed this mcrn-
ing and sales were begun at the Home

EFFORT TO Be MADE
TO ACQUIRE LIQUOR
Owners Of Whisky Stored in Bonded
Warehouses To Make Legal Attempt
To Procure Their Property.

Washington, Jan. 1S. - The right Of
the owner OF liquor, legally acquired
before the Volstead Act became eff
fective, but whose goods are in dis
tillery warehouses, to withdraw It for
his personal consumption as may be
done In the case Of goods so acquired
and stored in safe deposit vaults, is
to be tested in the United States Su-
preme Court.
An announcement to this effect was
made here today by counsel for J. j.
Fodesta, wealthy business man of
San Diego, Calf, to whom Prohibition
Commissioner Kramer this afternoon
formally denied a permit for the with
drawal Of a single barrel of whisky
owned by the Californian and now
stored in Kentucky warehouse.
A mandamus proceeding, it is an
nounced will be brought, probably be-
fore United States District Judge Wal
ter Evans, Louisville, to compel the
prohibition commissioner to issue
such permit.
The action, it is said, will be based
on the broad ground that failure to
do so amounts to confiscation by the
Government of private property and
on the specific ground that whereas
the Volstead Act clearly intends tc
prohibit the manufacture and sale OF
intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses it was not intended to prevent
consumption by the owners of liquor
legally acquired before the law was
| enacted

port On Progress Of Campaign
For Relief Of Suffering
Armenians.

Checks continue to come in for the
starving Armenians and Europeans.
The following contributions from the
churches and Sunday schools have
been received since the last report:
Washington Presbyterian church
$35; Washington Methodist church,
500; Helena Methodist church, South,
$2S.O7; Olivet Methodist Sunday
school IS; Salem Methodist Sunday
school and church, $3.50; Colored
Baptist Bethel church and Sunday
school, IS; Third Street M. e. Sunday
school, $107
All these are for the Armenians ex-
cept the last which goes to the Euro
peans. Altogether fourteen hundred
dollars has been contributed, leaving
eleven hundred dollars to complete
our quota which ought to be easily
raised.
The present state Of things in Ar
menia is deplorable. The Turks con-
tinue to harrass them with exhorbi-
tant taxes, plunder their homes and
even take their lives. The children we
are feeding and clothing have been
gathered into temporary orphanages
The number is so great it would re-
quire a table twenty-six miles long
to serve a meal Starving refugees
continue to come in. Seventy-five
thousand young women have been car
ried away to Turkish harems. Some
Of these are escaping and finding
their way back to their native land
All these are entirely dependent for
food and clothing upon American
benevolence.
If this destitution was in our own
doors We would relieve it instantly
Everybody would help, but because il
is thousands of miles away it does not
appeal to us. We should remember
that "God made of one blood all ma
tions to dwell upon the face of the
earth" These are therefore our kins-
men and have a claim upon us. We
cannot let them starve and be limo.

We appeal to people of large means
and people Of small means to give ac'
cording to their ability. The president
of the Armenian republic says that
the Americans have save one million
lives of his people. This is great
work and 1t is a privilege to have
some partin it. Let us go to work

Horrigan Puts On
Real Entertainment
In Kansas Town

The world Is not so large after
all. say the oil boys who meet up
at unusual times and in unex-
pected places all over the world.
Tor instance a few days ago Jack
Grimes was driving car through
from Kansas City and stopped at
a little town known as Ness city.
He earaged his car and walked up
TO restaurant 10 get a bite to
ca: and ne found the whole popu.
laticn of the city assembled In this
restaurant. Crowding farther in
hn observed the center of attrnc-
ton TO hc Barney Horrigan OF the
oil fraternity. Barney had very
little dog at the end OF very big
chain. He was telling the Kan
sasites who happen to inhabit Ness
City that the dog was the most
wonderful dog Known in all his
tory, that it's intelligence closely
approached the intelligence OF the
average human, that il die many
wonderful things. But this dog
performed only every 50 minutes.
1T would do many things for five
minutes and then it would wait
35 minutes before it began over
again. The Kansas people Of the
Z little town had all gathered to
wait tie So minutes out 10 see
the Oklahoma dog surprise them
by It's intelligence.
Norrigan was entertaining the
Ness City people in his inlmitable
manner when Grimes entered. The
two men began TO pass sharp
words. the conversation grew hot
ter until they seemed about ready
TO pull their guns and when they
looked around there was not

they sat at the table 10 be served

Duncan Report Was Error

The Duncan correspondent ot the
Dallas News misled that paper yes-'
terday In rercrt which stated that
the Empire had reached n new sand
in section 20, 2n.sw, in the Duncan
area at a depth of $500 feet. The
dispa,en was not positive in It's state
ment but It aroused much inquiry
and the result OF the inquiry reveals
that the report was without founda-
ton. II. Mcbride who Is well ac'
quainted with that field saw the re-
port here last night and to make sure
he telephoned his Duncan office and
states that the Ardmoreite will be
safe in saying that the report is not
true. The Empire Is drilling such
well the depth is below the 5000
foo, level considerably but 1t has not
reached an oil sand.
