GAME WARDENS ARREST Law
VIOL.ATORS

Bourbon county game and fsh
wardens are strictly on the job, day
and night, as a number of law violat-

ly. In the past few days five arrests

OTIS SKINNER APPEARS IN FA.
NOUS "KISMET" ROLE

In all the length and breadth of
fiction there is no more picturesque
a character than Hail, the beggar Of
Bagdad. Edward KnOblock, the play
wright, made Hail famous in the
stage version of "Kismet," and Otis
Skinner, perhaps the best known and
rlost popular actor in the country,
immortalized Hail during the years
he gave life to this characterization
on the stage.
The Robertson-Cole Company has
filmed the famous play, which will be
run for two days at the Alamo and
Paris Grand, to-day and tomorrow,
and thousands of people in this city
are going to have an opportunity Of
seeing Hail, the beggar portrayed by
no less a person than Otis Skinner
himself. 1t is a safe prediction that
the staggering, crafty, adventure
loving and amusing old Bagdad vag-
abond will win every ones heart and
in the years to come when old plays
are discussed, his memory will be
green.

BOURBON ORCHESTRA MAKES
GOOD,

The Bourbon Orchestra, composed
OF six talented young Paris must
clans, closed weeks engagement at
the Grand Opera House Saturday
night, much to the regret of the pat
rons, who voted them as in every re-
spect worthy successors to the Gregg
Orchestra. The boys rendered excel
lent musical programs at each per-
Torrance, delighting the audience by
the excellence of their selections.
This orchestra is composed of Paris
boys, who have made a careful and
thorough study of music. That they
have succeeded is evidenced by the
applause which they received at each
performance during the recent en-
gagement.

GEORGE McCANDLESS SUICIDES
BY SHOTGUN ROUTE

With the entire top of his skull
blown away, and the rugs, walls and
other parts of the room spattered
with his lifeblood and brains, the
dead body of George McCandless,
aged hfty, well-known Paris meat
cutter, was found in an upstairs
room at the home of Ben Lewis, on
South Second street, Saturday morn
ing. By his side lay a single-bar-
relied shotgun, with which he had
ended his life. g
McCandless had been in despond-
ent mood for several days, and had
told several parties in his room that
ne did not care whether he lived
much longer or not. 1t was stated on
the authority of one who knew him
well that he had become involved in
financial difficulties and seeing no
way out of the maze, resolved to end
his life.
Early Saturday morning McCand-
less went to the home of Ben Lewis,
on Second street. Meeting Lewis and
some of the family some distance
from the house he asked permission
to go in and lie down, as his head
hurt, and he wanted quiet. Lewis
sent him to the house. In a short
tome after McCandless had entered
the home the members of the family
heard the muffled report of gun,
which seemed to come from the room
where McCandless had gone. Hasten
Ing there they found McCandless'
body on the floor, with his skull
blown away, and the smoking gun
by his side. There was no one in the
house at the time, the closest ones be-
ing Lewis and his family, who were
some distance away. Coroner Ru-
dolph Davis was summoned, and af-
ter conducting an investigation of the
premises, had the body removed to
the Davis undertaking establishment,
where it was prepared for burial.
Coroner Davis impaneled jury
and held an inquest at the court
house yesterday morning, conducting
rigid examination into the affair,
owing to many rumors that had got
ten into circulation regarding the
possibility of foul play. The jury,
composed of H. M. Collins, foreman,
Frank P. Lowry, Harry Ogle, John H.
Doty, d. c. Parrish and Frank Clay,
returned the following verdict: we,
the jury, find that George McCand-
less came to his death from a shot
gun wound, inflicted by himself on
July 8, 1921"
McCandless had no immediate rel
ative in this vicinity, save an aunt.
aunt, Mrs. Frank Farmer, and sec
Ond cousin, Mrs. L. T. Bramblette,
both of Paris, and an uncle, VIM.
Cameron, of near Shawhan.
McCandless was native of Peters
burg, Lincoln county, and had been
a resident of Paris for many years.
He was meat cutter by occupation,
and had been in the employ of Bald
win Bros. for the past five years. He
was son of Robert and Mile Cam
eron McCandless, both of whom pre-
coded him to the grave some years
ago. He was unmarried, and was a
member of the Knights of Pythias
and Junior Order of United American
Mechanics of this city.
The funeral was held at 4:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon, with SER
vices conducted at the grave in the
Paris Cemetery by Rev. w. E. Ellis,
pastor of the Paris Christian church.
The commital services at the grave
side were in charge of Bourbon Coun-
Gil Junior Order United American

LONDON, July 8.-The conference of
dominion premiers here has finished
it's work, although it will continue to
sit for another fortnight. With all
consideration Of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance virtually taken out of their
hands by Lord Birkenhead's ruling, the
members of the conference have de-
voted most of their attention to i'm
perial affairs of lesser Importance.
However, they still regard the Anglo
Japanese treaty as matter Of great
concern to them, and are looking for
ward to Premier Lloyd Georges pro-
nouncement on it Monday.
The conference has Endorsed the pol
icy Of the London government in Con-
tinental Europe, 1t has also accepted
the English policy in the Near East,
particularly as it affects the mandates
over Palestine and Mesopotamia.
Premier Hughes of Australia, who
building up of imperial communities
tions, has elected from Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, Secretary Of State for
the Colonies, the statement that radio
communication between London and
India by way of Cairo will be possible
this fall.
Two subjects are being soft-pedaled
citizenship in the dominions and the
status of Egypt. 1t is said that India
has agreed to the right of the domin-
ions to choose their own citizens, and
that Japan also has acceded to this
view.
Considerable interest in the British
administration of Egypt seems to be
stirring in conference circles, but Off
cial silence is maintained regarding the
trend of the discussions. The Morn
ing Post says that one word-Egypt-
keeps cropping up in all the conference
debates, and that "the whole imperial
organization seems to pivot on Egypt."

Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
Canal Is Recommended
$252,728,2OO Project Is Sub
1nitted to International
Joint Commission

DETROIT, July s.-Reporting favor
ably on the feasibility of the proposed
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterways
and estimating the initial cost of the
undertaking at $252,72S, 200, Colonel W.
P. Wooten, United States Army en-
gineer, and w. A. Bowden, chief en-
gineer for Canada, have submitted their
report to the international Joint Com

The estimated cost is based on a
channel depth of twenty-five feet, with
provision in the permanent improve
ments for increasing it to thirty feet,
if desirable, at an additional cost of
$17,986,18O.
Maintenance would cost 1852, 900 a
year, the engineers estimate.
The program recommended provides
for series of nine locks, for thirty
three miles of canals, forty and one
half miles Of lake channel, and 1OS
miles of river channel.
The recommendations provide for a
power plant with 1,464,000 horsepower
through great dam at Long Sault
Rapids, near Ogdensburg, N. Y, This
being about 40 per cent of the poten-
tlal power in the ST. Lawrence River,
according to the engineers.
