LEADER and
OFFICER dead

Mountains But Another PrOhibi-
= tlon Officer Is Killed Making
Death of Three.

Lexington, KY, Dec. 15.-A week Of
skirmishes between moonshiners and
Federal prohibition agents in the hills

ment man killed, fell in today's battle.

capped.
Members of the outlaw band cap
tured by. the posse were: JEFF Ballard,
father, and Albert Ballard, brother of
the slain leader; William Feguson,
Joseph Glen and Elwood Riffee.
The smashing of the Ballard gang"
by Federal men followed a week of
hill-country campaigning, marked by
three spectacular gun battles.
The drawn-out battle was inaugur-
ated last Saturday, when r. E. Duff
agent, was shot to death while leading
party of raiders against cave used
by the outlaws as still site.
The following day large posse Of
Federal agents and deputy sheriffs
went into the hills, but returned after
David Trcadway, deputizcd by Federal
authorities, was slain by hidden rifle
men.
The large posse was disbanded fol
lowing Treadway's death and Federal
operatives adopted "under-cover'
\ methods to locate their men.
This morning a picked force Of &c
agents moved upon a cabin where the
Ballards had taken up headquarters
The ensuing fight at the cabin was the
| last stand of the outlaws.

CHRISTMAS FIRE
WARNING ISSUED BY
FIRE AUTHORITIES
Fire Prevention Department Issues
Annual Warming Against
Fire At Christmas
Time.

The following official notice issued
by the department of Fire Prevention
at Frankfort:
At Christmas time, many people are
SO epgrossed with the idea of enter
tainment and amusement for their
children, that they are forgetful of the
dangers that accompany these enter
tainments.
Picture the family reunion. Gather
ed around the annual Christmas tree
children, grandchildren, nieces, neph-
ews, cousins and all-the tree with its
many decorations, its lighting effects,
its imitation snow, tinsel, the pres
ents for all-and Santa Claus with his
white locks and flowing beard-when
suddenly a flash, and the fiend-fire
appears. Someone has been careless
and the accident occurs. Some little
fellow hopelessly SCARED for life-or
maybe the loss of life. The happy
scene is changed without warning to
one OF sorrow, misery and despair.
There, is q Christmas, the horror OF
which is forever burned into the mem
ory and hearts Of those who but q
short time before were so gay and
carefree. A family reunion that will
never be forgotten. But always the
darkness of death or accident in the
ascendant. The family with home
gone, a loved one burned, that scene
that began 80 happily. changed in a
moment to one Of borrow and distress.
Lighted candles, on trees in connec-
ton with paper tinsel and celluloid
decorations, the same on electric lights
or light wires, dried holly or mistletoe
on gas light, or electric fixtures. and
their wires, any of these might be the
cause OF the above picture.
These Christmas time pleasures and
programs may be so arranged as to
preclude the possibility Of any such
tragedy occurring in the home. Proper
supervision OF the children, and little
care in preparing the decorations will
accomplish this result
This department requests that all
people throughout the state Of Ken
lucky bear these facts in mind in pre-
pairing their Yuletide festivities. To
that end we extend heartiest greetings
and good cheer to all throughout the
state, praying that not a single calam-
ity of the kind pictured above may
be the part OF any resident of this
great state. To that extent. we ask
your cooperation.

For Strict Enforcement OF Explo.
siyes Law In Maysville.

Following many complaints of the
reckless handling Of explosives on the

day afternoon issued orders to all of

the use Of explosives in any form on

COURT RULES
KY. ROAD BILL
IS NOT valid
APPELLATE Decision Affirms Franklin
Circuit Court Judgment Which
Held Legislature Has No Author
ity to Name Commission.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 16.-The Sim
mons road department reorganization
bill passed by the 1922 General Assem-
bly, was declared unconstitutional by
the Court of Appeals Friday.
The higher court affirmed the judg-
ment OF the Franklin circuit court.
The lower court declared the law
unconstitutional on the grounds that
the Legislature did not have the au-
thority to name the members of the
proposed highway commission, as this
was an executive function.
All the judges OF the Court OF APP
peals concurred In the opinion, which
was written by Judge Gus Thomas,
with tho exception OF Judge Rogers
Clay. who dissented.
The road bill was held unconstitu-
tional on the same issue decided In
the Franklin circuit court. Judge
Thomas held that the Legislature did
not have the right to name the COM
mission.
ITO adopt the latitudinous con-
struction that the Legislature may do
anything expressly or impliedly pro-
hibited by the constitution would. to
our minds, at once destroy the separa-
ton Of the powers OF government into
three great departments" the opinion
stated.
In the dissenting opinion Judge Clay
said that while the constitution could
not provide that one department could
not exercise any power properly be-
longing to another. that at is an en-
tirely different thing to define with
accuracy the line OF demarkation
which separates these departments one
from the other" He also held that II
