SAN FRANCISCO IS
READY FOR SHRINERS
(Bv Associated Press)

San Francisco, Calf, June IL
San Francisco is turning itself in
to tented oasis for the delegates
and visitors to the Golden Jubi-
lee of the Ancient Arabic Order
Mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine,
June Is to 10. For the conven-
ton period the San Francisco
bay district might justly be term
ed the Caliphate of California,
for it will be made to resemble a
bit of the Old World Islam as
closely as mans ingenuity will
permit.
The ordained procedure of the
rearn Islam to spread rugs for the
caliphs and the lesser mobiles on
state occasions will be reversed
somewhat in the transplanted Is
lam. The rugs, or their replicas,
will hang overhead on the streets
taking the place of the usual
bunting or 1eStOOllS.
Market street, the main thoro-
fare, is being turned into a lane
closely akin to- the picturesque
arteries that lead to the old world
mosques. The great Ferry Build
ing, San Francisco's front door"
will be recognizable only as a
Bedouin tent and the blazing
electroliers along the main thoro-
fares will be softened with trans
parencies in which are blended
the red, green and gold of the
new Near East.
Traversing the "hot sands" that
lie between the bay and the Civic
Center the pilgrim will come up
on the place of the kneeling
camels, and right beyond, the
minarets, pavilions and obelisks
of an Arabian village. In the
background will be seen the new
City Hall, transformed into an
awe-inspiring throne place, its
great dome glowing at night
with ad amber lights and by day
with riot of pennons, gorgeous
ly hued, swapping in the breeze
Wednesday, the second day OF
the convention, the United States
Army will put on an aviation pro-
gram with confetti and American
Beauty Roses as the bombing
ammunition. On the same day
the 13O mile Golden Jubilee ma
tional championship automobile
race for purses aggregating SIS
600 will be run on the San Fran,
cisco speedway at San Carlos
south of here. The following
days the air manuevers will be
continued and other events vii
be land and sea sham battles.
Regattas, excursions and visits
to the great battleships and the
lesser craft of the Pacific fleet
will be other events.
The outstanding event from {

ASKS CLEMENCY FOR
COYLE'S MURDERER
Danville Advocate Makes Plea
For Youth Who Killed
"Uncle Ike" in Cold Blood

"UncIe Ike IN Cold Blood
The Danville Advocate makes
a plea for the pardoning of Steve
Mcqueen, a 19-year-old Rock
castle county youth, who is TN
der sentence of death in the cleo
trio chair at Eddyville June 20, in
an editorial which begins as fol-
lows:
1t is commencement time, with
the carnival festivities fast ap.
preaching, and the spirit of youth
fills the air-care-free, buoyant.
and joyful. Gay times and good
fellowship are in store for most
everyone, but in the local Jail
languishes a youth, a mere strip
of boy, crushed by depression.
He is slowly counting off the
hours until June %, when he is
sentenced to die in the electric
chair. 1t has never been Our pol
icy nor is it Our intention now to
interfere with the just workings
of the law, but we have a heart
felt sympathy for this lad. How
often are we prone to take credit
for Our own good deeds and how
self-satisfed with our virtue,
worth and standing in the face of
the world when it really is a ma
tural result of our youthful train
ing, care and attention, Our teach
ing and environment? Man is
is as great an imitator as a mon
key. The child of today is the
man of tomorrow. The incentive
to follow a good example is as
natural as it is for the night to
follow the day. 1t takes a strong
man to rise above his environ
ment and surroundings.
Mcqueen is II years old. He
was raised in the mountains OF
Rockcastle county. Reared in a
backwoods community where
moonshining was the principal in
dustry and hate of the "reven-
ner" the chief tenet of his relig-
ion. Six months in country
school was the extent of his edu-
cation, and never in his life did
he see in the inside of a church
door. Poor, unlettered and with
bad companionship his daily lot,
is it surprising that he went the
wrong way? Can we place the
maximum blame upon one whose
opportunities to say the least.
were: so extremely limited? Jus
tice tempered with mercy is one
of the finest principles of the
American people. Greater love
hat no man than a Kentuckian,
and the genuine sympathy of the
American people for the under
dog has ever been one of our out
standing virtues" :
Several Danville men have been
engaged in an effort to obtain
clemency for the condemned
youth.
The Advocate goes on to say
that Mcqueen never had a
chance from the start" but in its
editorial does not recount the
crime for which he was convict
ed. Mcqueen, it was charged,
killed "Uncle Ike" Coyle, a man
of about 90 years in his home
near Big Hill and then robbed the
body. The evidence, according to.
reports of the trial, was conclu-
sive. The sentence of death was
the first capital punishment given
by a Rockcastle county jury in
81 years, as related in this column
heretofore. This was in 1876,
when Joe Taylor, a negro con-
victed of an assault on a white
woman, was hanged in Mt. Ver-
non. The scaffo1d was left stand
ing, andi in 1876 the XII K1ux
Klan hanged three men thereon
and two within 20 feet of the
scaffold.

New York, Dec. 2.-Outspeeding
the police tug Manhattan, which had
been ordered to overtake her, the Gu
nard Liner Asyria tonight slashed
past Sandy Hook and headed for
Scotland carrying with her 11,505
cases of whisky deported by federal
prohibition agents, and two deputy
sheriffs alleged to have been "kid-
mapped while executing an order to
seize part of the crago."
When the Manhattan gave chase
the Asyria already was well down the
bay on her way to Scotland. The po-
lice boat was under orders of Chief
Deputy Inspector Cohalan, to whom
the sheriff had appealed for aid.
The deputies had gone aboard to
execute writ of replevin against the
1000 cases issued in behalf of the
Alps Drug company. The prohibition
officials refused to honor the writ;
threatened to arrest the sheriff depu-
ties; placed two prohibition agents
on board to guard the cargo over
seas; and the Asyria pulled out.

PUTNAM COUNTY FAIR,

and there promises to be added at
fractions to the previous showings.
The presence of sJohnnie j. Jones"
will be decided feature of the week
while it will not detract from the
many splendid exhibits which will be
shown in the many sections of the va
rious divisions.
The first fair fathered by Putnam
county promises to be complete
success. Indications now point to a
large attendance, not only from resi-
dents of the county, but from those
living in adjoining counties, for the
reputation Of Palatka for doing all
that is promised, and little more, is
well knwon.
Every resident of Palatka should
take an active interest in this affair
and should do everything possible tc
encourage it. The private individual
owes it to the city and county to say
good things for the fair and to the
good words add the frequent attend
ance The fair will be of nature
that one trip will not show all the
good things; only by repeated visits
will the excellence of all entries be
fully realized.
The regular program of the fair
will be given each day in The News
and any changes which may be de-
cided upon will thus be given public
ity. One change has already beer
made. Friday had been named as
"Colored Peoples day." and this will
be the fact up to 6 in the evening. Al
T in the evening the Shriners, headed
by the Johnnie j. Jones band, will pa.
rade from their hall to the grounds
and the remainder of the night viii
be devoted to the actions and an
tics of that body. 1t is declared thai
what they will not do tthe fair anc
at the carnival could be told in a few
moments; but the orders have gont
forth that the entire grounds are tt

Tendency
tBy United Press.I

St. Louis, Dec. 2.-Re-entry of
America into European affairs, either
as member of the League of Nations
or on some other basis was urged by
Georges Clemenceau, wartime pre-
mier of France, in the fourth of his
series of addresses in this country,
delivered at the Odeon before a ca
pacity audience that applauded him
roundly at frequent intervals.
The Tiger summarizing what he
thought he had accomplished so far
on his tour of America, declared he
believed he had convinced the coun-
try that France was not materialistic
or imperialistic, and that she had ev-
cry intention of paying off her debt
to the United States.
In the midst of his discussion of
militarism he reiterated his state
ment that America showed signs of
-militarism herself and launched into
a criticism of her naval policy.
81 do not intend to interfere in
your policy" he said, "however, you
interfered in mine (referring to the
militarism charges), and l think l
have the right to say that sometimes
you were very much inclined toward
the development of your military es-
tablishment."

make it possible to find satisfactory

The commission decided at today's
