Notes of the Game

The Essex are playing at Winches-
ter this afternoon, and are expected
to take the Dodgers into camp with
out serious trouble. They have a
new pitcher and infielder who report
ed yesterday and are said to be
SOME ballplayers. The new twirler
will doubtless start the game, but if
he wobbles the least bit Harrison
will be sent in. Mt. Sterling has an
over-supply of talent at this time
and the wedding out process is 60
ing to demand a great deal of care.
We have several players who would
be worth much to some of the other
teams in this league and we are hop
ing some advantageous trades can be
made whereby our hitting will be
strengthened, as this appears to be
our weakest point just at the pres
ent.
Lefty Monholland has been sold
by the Lexington club to Cynthiana.
This is the first sale reported in this
league. Monholand is splendid
pitcher and should add much to the
Harrison county outfit
Announcement has been made that
Howard Camnitz, Pittsburg world
series star in 1909, would manage the
Winchester club during the remain
der of the season. and will assume
his new duties at once.
Barney Dreyfuss, president of the
Pittsburg National League club, has
notified the Winchester management
that John (Rasty) Wright, who is
the property of the Pittsburg club,

son with Winchester and he has
been ordered to report to the Dod-
gers at once Last week Wright Sc

Colored Fair Opens
With a Big Parade

The Montgomery County COlored
Fair opened here yesterday with a
splendid attendance. The feature of
the morning program was the parade
over a mile in length, headed by the
famous Booker T. Washington Band,
of Louisville. The parade was under
the management of M. W. Darnell
and was featured by fancy decorated
cars and horse-drawn vehicles.
The Davis & Morris Company is
furnishing the midway attraction and
is said TO have many high-class
shows. The Burns Greater Shows,
advertised to be here. were unable to
reach this city on account of the rail-
road strike.
The 2:17 pacing event was won by
Princess Montgomery, with Albert o.
second.
The floral hall is one of the feat
ures Of the fair this year and the ex.
hibits are many aud varied.
There is a large crowd of out-of-
town colored people in the city and
immense crowds are expected for the
remaining three days.

New Hotel Leased
For Period Of Years

A contract was closed yesterday by
the officers of the new hotel company
with Maurice Todes, of st. Louis,
Mo-, under which Mr.. Todes secures
a twenty-year lease on the property.
Mr.. Todes is also the lessee of The
watterson and Plaza hotels in Louis
Vile; two hotels In st. Louis, one
in Chattanooga, one in Newark. N.
j., one in Knoxville, Tenn, and one
in Middlesboro. He is one of the
most successful hotel men in this
country and we feel that Mt. Sterling
is indeed fortunate that the hotel
company has Interested such man
in the lease. Under the terms Of the
contract the lessee Is to install fur
niture and fixtures to the value of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. He Is al
80 to pay for all upkeep Of the inter
for of the building. The price which
the lessee is to pay the hotel COM
pany is $4,000 per year for the first
FIVE years; s4,750 per year for the
second FIVE years; $3.50 per year
for the third FIVE years, and $500
per year for the last five years. This
rental will net the stockholders 5
per cent on their investment and
does not include the five business
rooms which will be leased separate
ly.
It is expected that the contract for
the new structure will be let within
from 10 to 20 days and it is hoped to
have the building completed by
March 1, 1923. The new hotel which
is to be erected at the corner Of
Maysville and High streets will have
4S rooms and will be modern in every
particular.
With the erection of such a
structure, leased to such a capable
and experienced man, Mt. Sterling is
indeed fortunate, and the stockhold-
ers are assured of fair return on
their money for the next twenty
years.

Renaker Evidence
Not Made Public
The winchester Sun SAYS:

Detectives from the Cal Grim De-
tective Agency who were called into
headquarters on Sunday afternoon
have returned to Winchester and be-
gan further investigation in the slay-
ing of Leon Renaker.
Additional evidence has been Sc
cured since Monday afternoon, but
will not be made public by the Off
GERS and detectives Every possible
clue that has been given the officers
is being sifted to the bottom and it
is felt that by keeping the informa-
ton which they have secure from the
public that they will be able to Sc
cure more valuable information than
they would were 1t spread broadcast
"The theory has been advanced by
number of residents that there is a
well organized band of lawbreakers
who have representatives that are Sc
curing all data that is being secured
ny iOCdl diC buh
ing it over to them which tends to
keep the guilty party or parties post
ed as to just what procedure is being
made from time to time.
Winchester, as all residents fully
realize, is not free from lawbreaking
elements that would not leave a
stone unturned to protect member
of the band who had committed a
crime and for this reason certain in
formation which has been given out
has been detrimental to the progress
of the officials who are bending their
every effort to see that the murderer
is apprehended.
"The detectives have some well
founded clues that they are sitting to
the very bottom and have informa-
ton that it is thought will eventually
lead to an arrest. Suspects are be-
ing shadowed in an effort to secure
information that would clear up the
mystery"

nett, who was with her in Reckless
Youth" once more heading the fem
mime contingent in support
Evidence" presents vistas of fan
ciful condition on the stage and in
society. An actress marries into a
family of snobs and gets just the
treatment she anticipated. Facing
these unhappy conditions. the act
ress is making good headway until
an actor, bent upon revenge for a
jilting, steps into the scene and at
tempts to compromise the girl. En-
ter now a scion of the snobbish fam
lily to overpower her with his inexor-
able demands for a divorce.
'If | must be divorced" says the
actress, "Pll at least choose my CO.
responder" she chooses the
overbearing snob who would not lis
ten to her explanation. Because of
the clever manner in which she pre-
sented her Evidence" there is no
likelihood of a divorce-because
there was originally not the slightest
grounds for action.
In turning the tables on her tor

Red Cross Writes
Letter Of Appreciation


The following letter from the
Montgomery County Chapter of the
American Red Cross, addressed tn
The Advocate, is published below:
THE officials of the Montgomery
County Chapter thank you most
heartily for the editorial, Holding
the Home Sector" in your last
Thursdays issue It sketches condi.
tions among our disabled veterans
that should be known and pondered
by every citizen not only of this com
munity. but of all communities over
the United States.
"The very nature of our home SER
vice work makes 1t impossible for us
to give it systematic and thorough
publicity. Practically every man
who comes to us has a story that,
written in realistic detail would read
more like tragic fiction than brutal,
present-day fact But such stories
are strictly confidential. We cannot
advertise in print the physical and
economic troubles which beset
scores of our veterans, however
much, in our opinion, it might react
to their benefit.
"Yet this we can and will do: II
there is any individual or organiza-
tion that wishes to help the Red
Cross in this work, we will gladly re-
fer them to those cases where help
is most needed.
"Quite often we hear the complaint
that certain men are receiving COM
pensation in excess of their disabit
ity; that this or that man, apparent.
ly in perfect health. should not be
receiving compensation at all
PLEASE be assured that the Mont
gomery County Chapter is as care
full to report an unworthy case as to
prosecute to the very limit worthy
case. If anyone knows veteran who
is obtaining compensation fraudu-
lently, and will bring the matter with
the evidence to our attention, we will
take action Immediately to have that
claim reconsidered by the govern
ment and stopped. Furthermore. if
it is desired, the informer's name viii
be kept secret.
"a formal report ON the chapters
disbursements will be given the pub
lie at the close of the present fiscal
year. But you may be interested to
know now that the organization has
in it's broadcast sense only two paid
workers: The home service secre-
tary, whose duties are far out of pro
portion to her allowance, and the
public health nurse, to whose salary
we contribute monthly. All our 9th
er workers are unpaid volunteers.
The Montgomery County Chapter
has more than six hundred fifty
1922 members. Our office and exc.
cutive meetings are always open to
them, and we earnestly solicit from
them any criticisms, advise and sug-
gestions that will enable the Red
Cross to carry on bigger and bet
ter work.
Sincerely,
LEWIS II. FITZPATRICK,
Chairman, Montgomery County
Chapter, American Red Cross"

Alexander Bell Dead;
Inventor Of Telephone

DR.. Alexander Graham Bell, inven-
tor of the telephone, died Tuesday
night in his home at Baddeck. Sgd
ney, N. S.
Although the inventor had been in
failing health for several months, he
had not been confined to bed. and
the end was unexpected. Late Tues
day, however, his condition became
serious and DR.. Kerr, of Washing
ton, cousin of Mrs. Bell a house
guest, and a Sydney physician at
tended him.
With Mr.. Bell when he died we're
Mrs. Bell, a daughter. Mrs. Marian
Hubbard Fairchild. and her husband,
David G.. Fairchild, of Washington.
The inventor leaves another daugh-
ter, Mrs. Elsie NJ Grosvenor. wife
of Washington magazine editor.
1t is understood that the funeral is
to be held in Washington.
Alexander Graham Bell, world-fa-
nous as the inventor of the tele-
phone, was born in Edinburgh, Scot
land, March 3, 1S47, the son of AL
exander M. Bell, a distinguished
Scotch scientist and educator. The
younger Bell received his education at
the Edinburgh high school and the
Edinburgh University. and in 1867 en-
tered the University of London. In
1870, his health having become i'm
paired by over study, he removed
with his father to Canada and two
years later settled in the United
States, becoming first a teacher of
deaf mutes and subsequently profes-
sor of vocal physiology in the Uni
versity of Boston.
In 1867 he began to study the prob
lem of conveying articulate sound by
means of electric current, and after
nine years of research and expert
ments, completed the first telephone
early in 1876. In that year it was
exhibited at the Centennial Exhibi-
ton in Philadelphia, where it at
tracted universal attention, although
it's possibilities and commercial i'm
portance were by no means realized
at that time.
Mr.. Bell filed his application for
patent at the patent office in Wash
ington on February IA, 1876, and it
is singular fact that an application
for a patent for a speaking telephone
was received from Elisha Gray. of
Chicago, on the same day, but few
hours later. The patent was granted
to Mr.. Bell on the ground of priority
of the time of filing and not because
of any difference in the merits of
the claims.
The Bell Telephone Company was
organized in 1877. and in the follow
ing year the first telephone ex
changes under the Bell patents were
established. In 1879 the new meth
cd of communication became firmly
established, and since that time ii
has come into use in all parts of the
world. In the first eight years of the
Bell Telephone Company's existence,
81, 900, 900 in dividends was distrib-
uted among the ten stockholders.

Roads will Operate
Without Strikers


Railroad executives in session at
New York Tuesday rejected the pro-
gram advanced by Presindent Hard
ing for settlement of the rail strike.
Willingness to accept conditionally
two suggestions put forward by the
White House-that both sides abide
by decisions of the railroai labor
board and that lawsuits springing
out of the strike be withdrawn, but
the heads of the 14S roads represent
ed declared emphatically that they
would not reinstate strikers with full
seniority rights, which was the third
provision in the presidents plan.
The union heads in session In Chi
cago voted to accept all of the pro-
posals as advanced by President
Harding and place the responsibility
for failure to settle the strike on the
railway executives.
After setting forth reasons why the
railroad executives held the seniority
question as an insurmountable OBJ
stacle, railroad chiefs ended their re-
ply to President Hardings proposals
as follows:
at is submitted that the striking
former employees cannot be given
preference to employees at present in
the service without doing violence
to every principle of right and JUS
tice involved in this matter and with
out the grossest breach of faith on
the part of the railroads to the men
at present in their service. Under
these circumstances, it becomes ap-
parent that the railroads cannot con-
slider any settlement which does not
provide protection in their their pres
ent employment both to the loyal en-
ployes who remained in the service
and to the new employees entering it."
Late dispatches from Washington
state further government action is
being held in allegiance, though it is
stated that the executives have ap
praised administration agencies that
the door was still open for negotia-
tions, and if protection of seniority
rights of shopmen who have contin-
ued to work might be guaranteed.
compromise might be affected. 1t is
understood to be the sense of the
White House to give the railroads an
opportunity to maintain transporta-
ton over their various lines in spite
of the strikers. If the various rail-
way companies can assure the public
reasonably satisfactory transportation
it is not likely that the government
will again attempt compromise
within the next few days.
What we want the government TO
do is to let us alone; to let us settle
this strike in our own way" declared
President Smith, of the New York
Central railroad.
"We have organized new shop
forces and are getting the roads back
to normal. Unless the government
ceases it's interference. we will have
a far worse strike on our hands. You
must stand by those who stand by
you to maintain discipline. If strik-
xutf nv
rights, it will be impossible to main
tain discipline.
Acceptance of President Hard
ing's proposal would result in COM
plete decentralization of Americas
system and the sys-
tenn of honorable cooperation be-
tween employer and employe upon
which IL was founded"

PRESIDENT HARDING UR-
GEES END OF CHILD LABOR

Tragic incidents in present child
labor conditions, will shortly be
published by the National Child
Labor Committee in a special report
for which President Warren G..
Harding has written the foreword.
President Harding says: The
against child labor in Am
erica must be pursued until such ex-
Iamples of neglect and misus, as are
recorded in these pages no longer
exist. The progress already made
through the various agencies engag-
ed in this campaign, chief among
Dor Committee, proves what can be
achieved by united and persistent
effort. We must labor TO complete
a work so we'll begun"
One of the incidents told in this
report is that of "a young factory girl
Is years old, whose hair was caught
in quilting machine. AMI her hair
and scalp torn from her skull.
Another story is told BY an in
spector of the New York State In
dustrial Commission. While visit
ing tenements, he found little g.
year old girl making bead necklaces.
The child was crying and when ask
ed what was the matter, her mother
said, Jaw, she wants TO go on the
street and play" The inspector
asked her what she wanted her to
do. go on stringing beads? and she
replied, Sure, why not?" II this
child should work steadily days a
week, eight hours day, strnging
1000 beads AN hour, she would earn
less than $2.00 a week.
1t is not only in our cities that
children are SO exploited. The story
10 told Of a small boy in the cotton
Fields Of California, who said, II
sometimes pick till have over 100
pounds. I pick az long as can
pull the bag and until 1t gets 30
heavy I can't walk straight.
This pamphlet has been prepared
especially for use in connection with
Child Labor Day which will be OBJ
served in churches and Sunday
Schools, Sunday, January goth; in
Ieynagogues an the preceding Satur-
day; and in schools colleges, and
civic clubs, on the following Mon
day.
