GOLD DOLLARS MAY
Be SOLD TO FINANCE
GRANT MEMORIAL
Bills Introduced In House and Senate
Authorizing Coming Of 100000
Gold Coins To Bs Sold for
Memorial Projects.

Because General U. s. Grant at
tended school in Maysville when a
young man and because his birthplace
and home Is located only a few miles
from this place in Ohio, great interest
VIII be taken here In the success with
which the Grant Centennial Associa-
tion Is meeting in its efforts to erect
suitable memorials to the General.
The House Coinage committee has
reported favorably upon the bill which
authorizes the coinaage OF 10000 gold
dollars to be sold as souvenirs to
raise funds for the Associations un-
dertakings.
There are two bills pending for this
undertaking. One was introduced b,
Congressman Kearns in the House an(
the other by Senator Willis in the Sen
ate. They are identical and this pro
cedure was undertaken that when tim,
for action came. quicker adoption
could be secured.
The first, or preliminary work afte
preparation Of the bill was to set be
fore the Coinage Committee the pur
pose Of the undertaking. First, tn
Question was raised of whether tn
coins should be gold or silver. Thi
was granted as first requested to b
of gold. Those in charge of the bill
have explained tina, memorials are t
be erected through the sale of tn
coins at Georgetown and Bethel, an
a highway built from New Richmon
to Point Pleasant, the birthplace O
General Grant, and that their issuanc
called for no obligation for the gov
ernment which will be reimburse,
through their SALE
Private information from Washing
ton is to the effect that the bill will b
presented for passage before the ad
journment of the national law-makin
bodies, and with this the President
signature can readily be obtained Thi
will mean that the coins can be mad
land placed for sale in banks w'thl
the next few months.
The Centennial Association feel tha
these coins will be eagerly sought an
this part of the undertaking soon com
pleted.

GERMANTOWN FAIR
DRAWS Big CROWD
Thousands Of People to Crowd Ger.
mantown Fair Grounds today
Hundreds Go From Mays.
Vile Early.

The Germantown Fair grounds will
be crowded today with, thousands Of
people from all parts Of Mason, Brack-
en- and Robertson counties and there
will also be scores Of people from
other nearby counties to take in the
last big day Of the biggest fair the
Germantown Fair Association has ever
staged on the famous old grounds.
In many respects this has been the
best year in the Old Reliable's history.
Those who have attended regularly re-
port that never before have there been
so many entries Of all sorts of live
stock as there is this season. The sta
BILE room was crowded from the OPEN
ing day. up to Saturday. The show
rings have been most attractive and
the judges have had no little trouble
In getting their decisions settled, so
close have been many Of the entries.
The Poultry Show has been fea-
ture and the outside attractions have
been many and have been we'll patron
lied. The order on the grounds thus
far has been wonderful, much to the
credit Of the splendid special police
department in charge Of the grounds
One OF the big features Of the meet
ing has been the splendid concerts
given by the Kentucky Cardinal Band
The band has never made better music
than 1t has made this year at German
town and the members of the band are
getting in splendid condition for their
engagements this summer at Lexing-
ton and Columbus.
Saturday being the final day Of the
meeting, there will be much activity
on the grounds this evening in getting
things in readiness to leave. The
night shows on Thursday and Friday
nights were great successes and will
no doubt be repeated again next sea-
son.

MANY BANKS

IN Big SCHEME
Fully Forty.Eight Financial Institu.
lions Involved In Plan I'm.
covered to Swindle
Millions.

Chicago, August 27. The financial
failure Of at least forty-eight banks
and kindred institutions In the middle

from various enterprises sponsored by
the alleged heads Of the "swindling
trust and the mail robbery group,
who with assistants are being held
here.
Not only were financial institutions
to be involved, but some of the biggest
financial men in the country were list
ed as prospects. The names of hun
dreds of prospective victims Of the
vaccinations Of the financial wizards
was found in the possession Of Alva
Harshman, French's secretary, accord
ing to the assistant district attorney.
Among the names listed was found
that Of Coleman Du Pont, u. 8. SEN
ator from Delaware, and wealthy man.
ufacturer of explosives. Scores Of
other names prominent in the finan-
cial world were found in this ledger

In contrast to the dealings Of the
alleged swindlers in millions and their
plans to wreck scores of banks, a pic
ure was presented Thursday Of the
activities Of the same group in what
federal authorities termed the "piker's
iield"-cleauing war savings stamps.
Casper Staub, Jr., dealer In for
eirn stamps, told Mr.. Clinnin that

some war savings stamps and when
shown stamps seized in raid on

sidewise. 1t seemed to remain sus-

A dark object fell from the machine

Miss Bromwell was swung clear Of the

Experienced aviators declared the

the plane probably was due to having
swung from the seat so far she could
not reach them.
She was flying high enough, they
said to have brought the plane safe

because Of Miss Bromwell's small
