MODIFICATION OF
VOLSTEAD LAW
Is Favored By Majority of Those
Who Have Voted In Nation.
Wide Straw Vote

! Much interest is being aroused
over the country i'll the nation
wide poll being taken by the Lit
erary Digest on the prohibition
law enforcement question and
the soldiers bonus. The second
weeks tabulation of votes has
just been made. With more than
100000 votes received, the Lit
erary Digest, in its current is
ste, makes public the following
results
Those in favor of strict en-
forcement of the eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead act
1857.
Those in favor of the modif-
cation Of the Nolstead law to per
NIT light wines and beer-85,-
If52.
Those in favor of repeating
the present prohibition amend
nent- As, 1916.
Those in favor of Federal
bonus for. all soldiers and sailors
who wore the uniform during the
World War-102,978.
Those opposed to such a Fed
eral bonus-102,370.
The returns in the second
week of the poll more than dou-
bled those of the first week and
apparently showed slight de
crease in the wet sentiment.
The decrease in the strength
of the outright vets is slight, as
the figures show, and it is still
obvious that the voters are reg
istering themselves emphatically
and in major numbers against
continuance of the present meth
cd of dry law enforcement, par
tictlarly the Volstead act.
1t also would appear that the
voters are opposed in the main
to the return OF the wide open
days before the passage of any
prohibition amendment.
In the letters received by the
Literary Digest there appears
common protest to the saloon
and all that it stood for. Ger
tain writers suggest laws such
as are in force in Quebec and
British Columbia, where in the,
absence of saloons, citizens may
buy what they wish from Gov
ernment stores. To such pro-
posals the bone-dry faction re
plies by terming them attacks

The Railroad Strike
(By Associated Press)

With government agencies
outwardly inactive as far as
the rail strike is concerned,
there is little change in the
situation today and hopes
for any move leading to
peace centered in the meet
ing at Baltimore tomorrow
when the Baltimore 4 Ohio
will seek separate agree
ments with its men.
B. M. Jewell. head of the
shopcrafts, had no comment
to make ON the situation,
while Ben Hooper, chairman
of the Labor Board, still de-
clined to discuss his recent
conference with President
Harding.
Railroad heads reiterated
that separate peace agree
ments cosfd be made by the
roads but there is no indica-
ton on the part Of employees
to accept anything but a ma
tiOnal settlement.

new BRIDGE To Be
BUILT over river
State Engineer Boggs Plans To
Build One By State and
Counties at Clay's Ferry

A new bridge over the Ken
tucky river at Clay's Ferry, to
be jointly owned by Madison
and Fayette counties and the
state, is to be built at an early
date, according to State H. h
way Engineer Joe S. Boggs.
Such all Improvement will cut
out the old toll bridge which is
privately owned-principally by
Madison county peopie-and has
been operated for many years.
The Lexington Leader had the
first intination of the new
bridge plans in its Sunday paper.
1t said:
The historical old wooden toll
bridge on the Lexington and
Richmond pike which crosses
the Kentucky river at Clay's
Ferry, which has been standing
since the memory of man run
netht not to the contrary, and
which was a strategic point dur
ing the civil war because it was
used extensively for the passage
Of troops and supplies for the
army across the river, is to be
replaced by a modern structure
next year, if plans of the State
Highway Commission material
ize, as announced by Chairman
Joe S. Boggs.
This information was brought
here from Frankfort by County
Engineer w. H. Edwards, who
was at the capital the past week
attending a meeting of the COM
mission, at which the project
was discussed.
Chairman Boggs and members
of the State Highway Commits
sion have been invited to spend
the day iii Lexington on August
Is as the guest of Engineer Ed
wards and it is expected tha.
the party will make a trip to
Clay's Ferry to note the pro-
gress of the reconstruction OF
the Richmond road to that point
and also to view the proposed
site for the new bridge, which,
it is understood, will be about a
half mile up the river from the
old wooden bridge if tentative
plans for the project are approv-
ed.
The Lexington and Richmond
pike will be part of the famous
Dixie Highway thru central Ken
tucky and construction of this
road is now under way on both
the Fayette and Madison side of
the Kentucky river. p. J. CORN
ley has the contract for the new
work on the Fayette side, while
the Carey-Reed Company, of this
city, was awarded the contract
on the Madison county side byI
the Madison county fiscal court,
for a splendid stretch of con-
crete road extending from theI
top of the incline at the river to
the city limits of Richmond. A
large force of men is now at
work on both sections of the
road and excellent progress IS
being made

PAINT LICK WINS
ANOTHER GAME
Takes Blue Lick HustIers Into
Camp Saturday BY Close
Score of Z to S

In a hard fought baseball
game at Paint Lick Saturday af
ternoon Blue Lick was defeated
by a score of ] to ) by Paint
Lick'S crack nine. The game
caused unusual interest as the
two teams are well matched and
are the two leading teams in the
section. Previous to this game
the two teams had met 5 times
three of which were Paint Lick
victories. Blue Lick has a rec
ord Of II games won and 8 lost
for the season, while Paint Lick
has captured ! out of Il. Paint
Lick has been playing fine ball
of late and will furnish tough
opposition for most any team in
this part of the state.
The game Saturday was slow
but hotly contested. Paint Lick's
star twirIer, Red" Beasley was
on the hill and showed good
form at times, allowing only 7
hits. Calico, Manager Harris
selection for Blue Lick, allowed
only 8 hits, but did not seem at
bis best.
Blue Lick could. not score but
once in a single inning but they
did this i've times. Stephenson,
the first Blue Lick man to come
to bat, worked Beasley for a
pass, stole second, took third on
all out at first and scored when
"Simp" Rogers dropped the ball
after Stephenson had been
caught between third and home.
Calico placed a jinx on himself
by tanning the first Paint Lick
man up. This proved to be dis
astrous when the final count
was taken. Blue Lick's run III
the second was due 10 B. Harri-
sons triple and Calico's single.
They scored in the fourth on er-
rors, but Clark opened the sew
enth with double, took third on
wild pitch and scored on an
cut at first. Robinson's home
run accounted for the last Blue
Lick tally. He drove the ball to
deep LETT center and should have
been held to two or three bases,
but Davis lost the ball i'll the
weeds and Davis circled the
bases. 1t was d real drive at any
rate.
Paint Lick held two big scor-
ing rounds which proved to be
too much for the visitors. They
scored four times in the first
when Blue Lick blew sky high.
A walk, Duerson's doulSe, Roop's
scratch hit, two errors and a
"boner" on Calico's part account
ed for the runs. In the fifth
Paint Lick Won the game by
scoring three runs without the
aid of hit, base on balls, two
rank errors and some bad judg-
ment by Blue Lick lost the game.
