Search for Weapons
Feature Opening Of
Bailey Murder Trial

Mount Vernon, KY, Aug. 22.-.
The first day of the John Bailey
murder trial, growing out of the
Bailey-White mountain feud, was
productive of nothing more thrill
ing than the search of every person
who entered the court room for
weapons. Soldiers and deputies
stopped each clansman as he entered
the doorway. None resisted the
search and no weapons except a
few pocket knives, were found.
Even the women were not exempt.
When the case was called. both
the commonwealth and the defense
asked for a continuance because es-
sential witnesses were absent. The
prosecution asked for attachments
for four and the defense fov nine,
material witnesses. Circuit Judge
Bethurum appointed Sheriff Walker
to deputize two soldiers to bring the
desired witnesses into court and ad-
journed court until tomorrow.

Men
Not Satisfied
With Bus Lines
Cuardsmen Experience Diff
Guilty in Committing From
Camp Dodge to Des Moines
- Service Is Poor.

Camp Dodge. Ia, Aug. 22.-(Spe.
cial 1.-The transportation service be-
tween Camp Dodge and Des Moines
is not very satisfactory to the Ne
braska National guardsmen in camp
at Camp Dodge. The Lincoln and
Omaha men especially feel the diff
ference between the bus line service
and the street car service at home.
Here the busses and interurban cars
are the only means of travel afforded
the men at Camp Dodge.
The long intervals between cars on
the interurban and the unpunctual
arrival and departure of busses makes
trips to the city somewhat weary
some affairs. Men are forced to wait
long periods before they are able
to catch bus and when they do, it
may be crowded to capacity. The
interurban cars are also very often
overcrowded by men on leave.
Liberty was granted to a large
number of Nebraska guardsmen Sat-
urday and Sunday, extending from 2
p. m. Saturday until midnight Of
the following night. This long leave
from camp was appreciated by the
Nebraska men to the extent that
every pass allowed was taken up.
The long drills and infrequent Wis
its to the city made the special favor
of long passes especially welcome.
During the week no long passes are
granted, but the Sunday leave en-
abled many guardsmen to visit rela-
tives and friends in Des Moines as
we'll as giving them a change from
the camp life to the civilian atmos-
phere.

She sent the letter TO her husband

They advised him to submit the

Ford Tells How to
Run the Railroads

formulae calling for increased pay,
reduced waste in labor and materials
and more efficient service at less cost,
all increasing the volume of business.
"The Ford Motor company
learned about rairoading from the
shippers side and we conceived the
idea that if shippers were to be
served trains had to be started aud
kept moving until they arrived
somewhere" said Mr. Ford. Neither
the railroads nor the shippers were
benefited by trains lying idle in the
yards or upon sidetracks.
Imagine all the freight cars of the
nation moving on an average of lS
miles each "a hours as they did dur
ing the war. Why, two good men
could push loaded car that distance
in that time. We have increased the
D. T. & |. average from l57 to
S57. There is no good reason why
they should not move Us miles in
"a hours.
Exploitation Is Blamed.
whats the matter with railroad
organization?" he was asked.
Exploitation, exploitation was
his answer, grasping the opportunity
ior paying his respects to the bank
ing element which he holds respon-
sible for most of the evils of our
system.
"All business has too many stock
holders who never do anything but
injure the business and draw down
dividends" he continued. Railroads
have not been operated with a view
to giving service. They have been
operated for the purpose of ex-
ploitation and to deliver the percent
age of gain which absentee stock
holders must have.
"The D. T. & I. was for many
years dismal failure merely because
it failed to serve. When receivership
came one after another they pointed
to its running from some remote spot
on the Ohio river to spot near De-
troit, through unproductive territory
with no cities to feed it. Well, the
same D. T. & |. is succeeding now.
Why? Because it serves.

NEARLY All Farms in
Lincoln County Are
Bearing Mortgage:

North Platte, Neb, Aug. a.
Especial. l.)-Over five million dol
lars are loaned out in city. farm and
chattel mortgages in Lincoln coun-
ty. This amount is more than dou-
bic that OF u years ago. In 1910
there was $4,000 loaned out OH
farms, $2o6,000 on town property,
and $88S,000 i'll chattel loans.
At the present time there is $5,-
10000 out on farm loans, $9sS,000
on town and city loans while the
chattel loans amount to $2o00,000,
Over 81 per cent OF the farms are
covered by some form of mortgage.
The effect of the war is clearly seen
III the amounts loaned. From 1910
the amount dropped till the close OF
1917 and then started on a quick up
grade.

nesses, all as the result of clean
up effort by the police department
last night under Chief Martin. sue.
cessor of Chief Maloney.
The shooting occurred in the alley
back of the Savoy hotel several hours
aft, the raid was made. Maloney
and three white men, Murphy, Welsh
and Baird of Hastings and one negro,
Jones, were sitting in a card game
in the alley when Buswell came
along on his regular beat. They de-
clare they do not know who began
the firing. Buswell states that two
shots were fired at him before he
shot Maloney.
Inquiry at the hospital at noon
today revealed the fact that Ma
loney's condition was not regarded
as serious.
Late today the county attorney
and police obtained written con-
fession from one of the eye-wit-
resses who were sitting on the run
ming, board of the car from which,
in the alley behind the Savoy hotel,
Maloney shot Buswell, being later
shot in return. This confession in
cludes the statement that Maloney
opened fire on the policeman as he
came through the alley without say
ing a word or without having been
addressed by Buswell.
An operation was performed on
Maloney this afternoon for relief
from suffering on account Of gases.
His condition is tonight reported
the same. Buswells injuries may
be more serious than at first sup
posed, one of the shots striking him
near the hip. 1t is expected to re-
duire three months before he will
be able to resume his duties.

Your evenings out together are
precious. Keep them up. Once or

deserve seeing a good picture.
There was a time when you might
have thought it not worth while to

changed. The pictures nowadays
give you a different feeling. 1t is
like attending some all-star per-
Torrance in New York or some 9TH

lures today stir your mind and i'm
agination in the most thrilling way.
They show you that drama is an
essential item in a full and happy
life.
After all, is it not natural that
you feel their magic? Think of the
skilled artists and directors that are
brought right here to your own door

Gain. on Capital Assets Taxable

Washington. - Numerous inquiries
nave reached the Bureau of Internal
Revenue relative to the decision of
United States District Court of Con-
nscticut in the Brewster case, in which
it was held that gains and profits real
lied from the sale of capital assets are
aot taxable income. The United States
attorney for Connecticut has been au-
thorized to perfect an appeal to the
supreme Court of the United States
for review of the decision. Since
Congress, under the provisions of the
Income tax acts OF 1913, 1916 and 1913,
has directed the taxation as income Of
such gains and profits, the bureau will
continue to collect the tax thereon, un-
less and until the Supreme Court shall
hold that provision Of law to be uncon-
stitutional. The same question is in
volved In the Eldorado and Ryerson
cases which were argued in the Su-
preme Court some weeks ago. A deci-
sion in these cases undoubtedly will
settle the general question. In view of
the severe penalties provided by law
for false and fraudulent income tax
return, taxpayers are warned not to
omit from their returns for the year
1920 such gains and profits.
