Were Murdered, But Motive
Is Not Found.

Mayfeld, Ky.-The bodies OF five
adults and six children were found in
the ruins of the home of Ernest Law
renee, farmer, living about seven
miles from here, which was destroyed
by fire. There were INDICATIONS that
the dead may have been the victims
of foul play, and at coroner's inquest
held here a non-commital verdict was
returned.
The dead are: Ernest Lawrence,
81, and wife, 25, and three children
ranging in age from 5 years to II
months: Otis Drew, %. and wife, %,
and three children ranging from four
years to four months, and Delmer
Drew, Is. Lawrence and Otis Drew
were brother-in-laws and the Drews
were brothers.
Neighbors who were attending a
picnic about mile from the Law
renee house, frame structure, saw
the blaze about 1870 O'Clock. Two
young men, the first to arrive on the
scene, were unable to enter the house
because of the fire, but climbing tree
nearby could see the bodies lying on
the floor.
An examination of the bodies, which
were burned so badly that recognition
was impossible, showed that one of
the women bore wounds that seemed
to have been made by some sharp in
strument A partly charred bit of
clothing of the infant which this WON
an is thought to have been holding in
her arms was drenched with blood
In one of the rooms where several
Of the bodies were lying were re-
volver containing six, empty cartridges,

had been discharged and another ex.
ploded cartridge nearby, double
hitted axe which was lying on the bed

men. and large oil can which had
been kept in the yard.
Particles of clothing were clinging

Screams of women and children and

heard by neighbors shortly before the
fire was discovered.

BIG CUT IN NATIONAL DEBT

Washington. = The United States
Government, for the first time since it
entered the war, is about to close its
fiscal year with ordinary receipts sufl-
cient to cover its ordinary disburse'
ments and the accomplishment of a
considerable cut in the national debt.
In this situation further moves to-
ward economy were taken by the Pres
ident and Director of the Budget
Dawes. They were:
1. The Director of the Budget, with
the authority Of the President, called
a meeting of all Government heads
down to the lesser bureau chiefs and
assistant chiefs to get together for
economy and cooperation. The Presi.
dent will attend and address his as.
sistants.
2. J. Raymond McCarl was appoint.
ed Comptroller General of the United
States to cooperate with Mr.. Dawes
on the budget.
8. Senator Willis, Ohio, secured
from the President assurances that ap-
portionment Of Government workers
would be made along statutory
grounds.
A reduction of more than $1,000
100000 in the public debt will .be
shown when the United States Gov.
ernment closes its books at the end
of the fiscal year 1921, according to
official statements Of the Treasury De.
partment.
The Government also during the
year will have lived completely
within the bounds of its ordinary in.
come, the official statements show.
The statements, complicated tables
of figures, mean that for the first
| year since 1914 the Government has
not only spent less than it took in,
| but in addition has saved something
like $1,O22, 100000 to pay on it's gi
gantic war debt. Unless unforeseen
demands for cash are presented tc
| the Treasury Department during the
next, six days, the financial condi-
ton of the Government may be de-
| scribed as what business men refer
to as solvent and going"
| The gross public debt on May 81
the last day for which an official
statement is available, amounted to
$23,952,741,592 For the same day a
year ago the debt was $24,974,963.02 .027
The reduction was accomplished
through the economy Of disburse
ments At per cent year the en-
tire debt would be retired in less than
20 years. The sinking fund law re
quires it to be reduced only at the
rate Of 2h per cent. per year.
