pany and will be actively connected

had many years experience in the

Suit May Affect
Local Race Track

The question of the right of the
city council of Ashland to permit a
lodge or private organization to use
the Central Park in that city for a
fair and also the right of the Ash
land lodge of Elks to conduct a race
meeting at which pari-mutuel betting
machines are used, is involved in a
suit for an injunction filed at Frank
fort by Joe Russell, suing as a tax
payer. The action was brought be-
fore Judge Thomas after the Boyd
circuit court had refused to grant an
Injunction.
A decision in the case is expected
soon. The racing law provides that
county fair organizations may con-
duct race meetings with pari-mutuel
betting without paying the $4,000 a
day license and without the state
racing commission being in charge.
Private organizations, however, it is
claimed, must pay the license and be
under the direction of the commits
sion.

Truce Move Made
By Strikers Chief

Hope for the speedy settlement OF
the countrywide shopmen strike was
seen last night in statements issued
by Ben w. Hooper, chairman Of the
United States Labor Board, and B.
M. Jewell, leader of the shop crafts,
who ordered the walkout.
In reply to a letter from Mr.. Hoop
er, which was regarded as concilia-
tory in tone, Mr.. Jewell declared that
the strikers were willing to consid.
err any negotiations with anyone in
authority for settlement of the strike.
"We are willing to confer with any
body authorized by the railroads to
bring peace proposals to u.s." said
Mr.. Jewell. 81 include or exclude
nobody, but if the labor board, for
instance. came to us with a definite
proposition, we would not hesitate to
consider it,"
Mr.. Jewell then made public for
the first time the exact figures on
the strike vote taken by the 100000
members of the six shop crafts. The
vote was divided into three separate
ballots, the first on accepting a $780,
100000 reduction in wages ordered
by the labor board; second, the res
toration of seven working rules al
tered by the board, and, third, the
adjustment of outside contracting
by the roads.
A tabulation of the ballots show
ed, Mr.. Jewell said, that only 94.7
strike on the question of wages, the
heaviest vote for a strike being on
the question of outside contract la
Dor, which polled 81 per cent of the
vote cast. The ballot on rules came
second, with 96.2 per cent for the
strike. Union leaders said that the
relative Importance of the issues was
demonstrated by the votes on the
three points by their membership.
In railroad circles it was declared
that the way had already been clear
ed for a full settlement on the grav-
est issues-that of contract work
by the agreement of II roads to abol-
ish outside contracting at the labor
board meeting last Friday. when Mr.
Jewell ignored an order to appear
and explain his strike order.

WALTER n. WRIGHT'S
SATURDAY SPECIALS

w. H. Wright is busy all the time,
and there is a reason for it. He
studies the trade, knows it wants and
supplies it from producers, so that
middle profits are saved to the Gus
toner.
This is one reason and the other
is that he gives first grades at the
same or less prices than seconds go
over many counters.
His stock is complete with stand
ard and fancy groceries and for this
year with a good fruit crop he is sup
pied with fruit jars, rubbers and
caps. He can furnish the trade with
caps and rubbers for old jars. This
stock should be purchased now for
the large crops will exhaust the sup
ply.

Mason in Kentucky and probably the
Oldest in the country, died Tuesday
midnight at the Old Mason's Home
at Shelbyville, where he had been a
resident since October II, 1916.
A stroke Of paralysis, suffered on
Saturday, and infirmities caused his
death, but he retained his faculties
and was conscious to the last.
Mr.. Noel celebrated his hundredth
birthday anniversary March 81, at
which time all of the grand lodge Of
ficers and other dignitaries of the
state attended the ceremonies in his
honor. On that occasion Mr.. Noel
laid aside the cane which he usually
carried. The principal table orna-
ment at the dinner was a mammoth
cake, decorated with the Masonic EN-.
blem surrounded by roses.
A native of Boone county, Mr.. Noel
was raised a Master Mason in 1856
in Napoleon lodge, No. 1888, Graves
county, later transferring his mem

Three ame-a-Week
Schedule Is Adopted


The Blue Grass League next Sun
day will inaugurate a new schedule
of three games a week In place of
the present card of two games, IL
was decided at a meeting Of the
league leaders at Cynthiana last
night The first game of the new
schedule will be the same as those
now carded under the old schedule,
and will find Lexington at Mt. Ster-
ling, Cynthiana at Maysville and
Winchester at Paris.
The league season is to be split,
and the teams will start on even
terms under the new card, which will
call for forty games for each team
the season closing Sunday, October
8. Maysville is thus the winner of
the first part of the season, with a
total of games won and six lost.
It was stipulated that Lexington
should have ten Sunday games at
home and each of the other clubs
was to have either six or seven Sun
day dates. The Cynthiana club has
also requested that all of it's Satur-
day dates be played away from the
home diamond. Under the old sched-
ule Lexington would have had two
more Sunday games at home.
The last game of the two-game
season will be played off between the
Lexington and Mt. Sterling teams
Saturday at Mt. Sterling. This is
the result of a protest made by Mt.
Sterling on the game won by Lexing-
ton on June by the score of to
2, the protest being allowed by Pres
ident Thomas M. Russell. If Lexing-
ton wins this game, the club will fin
ish in second place in the league; If
the STUDIES lose they will be tied with
Paris for second place.
When the Mt. Sterling-Lexington
udlLic 10 uiopoSCu VI, CoSh Siup III
the league will have played 22 games
for the first part of the divided sea-
son.
The schedule President Russell
announced. would be ready for pub
LEGATION next Sunday morning at the
latest.
The meeting at Cynthiana last
night was said to be the most har-
monious so far held by the league.
Now that a new schedule has been
adopted and the season is to be
started all over again, it is to Mt.
Sterling to start in from the start
with a winning team. 1t has been
proved beyond a doubt that Mt. Ster-
ling has as good crowds as any town
in the league and will undoubtedly
support winning team. If two or
three weak gaps can be filled we will
have as strong a nine as there is in
the circuit and there is no reason
why Mt. Sterling should not be re-
turned the winner of the second half
at least, let's work with that ac-
complishment in view.
Remember, Lexington will be the
attraction at the local park both Sat
urday and Sunday and let's have a
Ibig crowd both days and cheer the
local boys on to victory.
The game at Winchester Sunday,
the Fourth, was won by the Essex by
the score of to 7. II was a very
poorly played affair. each team try
ing to see which could play the rot

GEORGIA OWES THIS DUTY.


The Crawford w. Long Memorial
Association, os ped under a char
ter granted bS the state, has gone to
work with determination to conf
plete by anuary / the fund necessary
to place in the National Statuary hall
lin the capitol at Washington, a life
size bronze statue Of Or. Crawford
W. Long, diseoverer Of anaesthesia,
Iaccording to a statement just issued
land sent out from Atlanta, which is
Interesting.
In accordance With resolution of
Congress, Georgia was invited by the
President of the United States more
THAN a quarter of a century ago to
name her two most distinguished cit
liens and place memorial statutes
of them in what has long been known
las ''The Hall of Fame in the ma
Itional capitol.
In response to this invitx n. the
Georgia legislature namea Craw-
ford W. Long who disco anaes-
.thesia, and Alexander II. stephens,
who was vice president Of the Con
federate States. There the Legisla-
Iture stopped, and although the mat
ter was brought up on several occas-
ions, not one penny has ever been ap-
propriated by the State Legislature
to place these Georgia memorials
along with those from other States
in the National capitol building.
Thousands Of Georgians who have
visited Washington and have gone
through National Statuary Hall have
been embarrassed over the fact that
while practically every other state in
the Union has made use of this priv
ilege, and put there the statues Of
its distinguished sons the space as
signed to Georgia remains vacant
1t is the purpose Of the association
to do now, and do at once, what Geor-
gia has failed to do after this oppor-
tunity extending over nearly quar-
ter Of century, has been given.
The memorial Of DIR, Long should
appeal to, every Georgia citizen, aa,s
