lieved it's adoption would go far in allevi-
ating what he termed was a growing
impression that every one connected
with the motion picture industry was i'm
moral, and would be a means of off
setting the notoriety to the industry
caused by the Staying of William Des-

PINCHOTS ASSAILED
AT END OF EMO CASE
Relatives Trying to Break
Will Are Money Mad
Says Shearn.
ALIENISTS DENOUNCED
DR.. Carlos +. Mcdonald Got
$1,000 for Services, AS
serts Lawyer.
DENOUNCED

Clifford Pinchot and the other rela-
ing his will on the ground that he was
suffering from senile dementia when
he made it were held up yesterday TO
the jury in the Surrogates' Court as
for money, even to dragging out the
least edifying skeleton in the family
closet"
The criticism was made by Clarence
]. Shearn, counsel for the executors, in
summing up. The case will so to the
jury to-day
Mr.. Shearn described Mr.. Pinchot,
who was Conservation Commissioner in
the Roosevelt Administration, as that
"delicately constituted man whom you
have heard on the witness stand telling
what his mamma thought of his possibll-
tiles for the Presidency" and embraced
the whole Pinchot family in description
of "a family which has never done any
work nor earned a dollar and which
would not know how to work"
Attacks Word of AlIenists.
Mr.. Shearn also scored the alienists
who, after listening to a hypothetical
question requiring a day to read. said
Emo was unsound mentally when he
made his will. He said:
"It is one Of the worst defects in our
system of Jurisprudence that men who
have never seen the patient about whom
they are about to testify are permitted
to come before juries ana state flatly
that the man they never saw was
insane.
There is Dr. Carlos F. Mcdonald
who testified here. and who received
S11 900 altogether for his services in
the case. $4,000 for it for attending the
conference where the hypothetical ques-
tion was framed. These hypothetical
questions and the answers to them are
not worth any consideration by juries.
High priced lawyers working with
high priced specialists in mental dis
eases get together and frame hy-
pothetical question and decide on the
kind of insanity to be charged. Then
the high priced specialists take the wit
ness stand and unhesitatingly agree
that the "hypo' question shows the
man hypotheticated to have been in
sane. Then other lay witnesses. most
of them with axes to grind, tell of &C.
centric details of the alleged incom-
petent's life and the picture is filled
out and made complete"
Says Diaries Show Sanity.
Mr.. shearn insisted that the diaries
Emo kept from day to day and which
are in evidence in the case are the best
proof that he was sane. He asked the
jury finally to remember that the rela-
tives who want to set the will aside are
entirely willing to take the benefit of
will Mr.. Emo made year and half
before he made the one complained of.
Max d. Steuer. summing up for the
contestants, stressed an agreement be-
tween Emo and his brothers and sisters
when their fathers property was di-
vided. This provided that the family
fortune be divided according to the
plan followed in the will which the pres
ent contestants desire to have admitted
to probate.

Little Red Schoolhouse
Barred as Disease Center

"HICAGO, Feb. 15.-More than
half of the school children OF
the United States are attend
ing rural schools and these rural
children on the average are less
healthy than the children of the
cities, including all the children OF
the slums, the Rev. c. NJ. Nc
Connell of Chicago said to-day be-
fore the National Methodist Hos
pitals and Home Association.
Examination of 10000 school
children in New York State over a
four year period showed health de-
fects in 72 per cent. of the children
in city schools and 81 per cent. OF
the pupils in rural schools, he said.
For the last ten years the death
rate in rural New York was 19 per
cent. and in New York city it was
but 16 per cent.
There is a need for medical mis-
sionaries who will go out into the
country and build up the health OF

SAMPLE TRUNKS ROBBED

Ben Downey, travelling salesman
for the David AIDES Dry Goods Co.,
of Lexington, who resided here many
years until moving to Lexington,
parked his truck, containing his
sample trunks, on Seventh street,
while he went to the ball park to
root for the team representing his
old home town, Paris.
On his return he found the trunks
broken open, and rifled of goods
amounting to about SIS, besides some
articles of personal wear.
The matter was reported to Chief
of Police Link, who arrested and
jailed a young white boy named
Arthur Mack, charged with having
broken open the trunks and remov-
ed the missing goods. The goods
were recovered and restored to Mr..
Downey. Mack had only been re-
leased from Jail about three weeks

complete the 100000 fund to erect
a memorial building on the Univer-
sity of Kentucky campus will be
successful, it was reported by Her

Although the fund has not been
paid in, the spirit among the chill
dren to raise their one dollar quota
is high and when the reports are all
in the $500, 900 will be secured, Mr..
Graham said. Previously $4,000
has been given, leaving 100000 to
be raised.
Bourbon county is officially the
first county over the top, it was an
nounced by Mr.. Graham. Prof. Lee

900 quota of Jefferson county has

Ption before the home of former

FULL TINE HEALTH BUREAU
FOR BOURBON

The recent announcement that
the Paris Commercial Club has ad-
vocated a full time health depart
ment for Bourbon county and the
city Of Paris has ELECTED many in
quiries from interested citizens. Sew
eral prominent physicians of Paris
have endorsed this movement as one
OF the most progressive steps in
community welfare that has ever
been endorsed by any organization in
Paris.
According to a statement made
by Secretary Harris, the purely
commercial value Of the full time
health department estimated in
terms of increased hours of indus
\ try due to better general health con-
-ditions is far in excess of the yearly
expense of maintaining this depart
ment. He stated that entirely from
the standpoint of economics, bank
ers, merchants and farmers should
be equally interested in the plan to
supervise efficiently and constantly
the application of the principles of
hygiene and sanitation to our COM
munity.
Many of the knotty civic problems
that seem almost impossible of So
luton are handled by this depart
>ment in a manner encouraging to
laymen who have ventured into this
difficult field. We have in Bourbon
county in the Health and Welfare
League an organization that can
automatically become part of the
full time health department, as has
been the practice in other counties,
and retain the services of a woman
who has been invaluable in her
work in our community.
The State with the aid of the
Rockefeller Foundation proposes to
give Bourbon $1,000 provided like
amount is raised, and financial as
sistance may be expected from the
Red Cross, Anti-TuberculosisL League
and other welfare organizations.
