NC KEE ROAD TO BE BUILT

Richmond, Ky.-The largest crowd
that has attended a session of the
Madison Fiscal Court in many years
was present Monday morning when
the court voted to accept state aid on
the highway to Mckee, Jackson
county, and at the same time voted
to recommend a road tax or bonI
issue for improvement of the other
main highways in the county and
for a citizens committee to cooper
ate with the court in handling the
road problems of the county.
This action was taken only after
extended debate in. the county court
room Monday morning when the road
question for Madison county was
threshed out along every angle.
The Citizens Committee, named by
the court, met at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon and voted for a zoe road
tax for period of five years, to be
used for meeting state aid on every
inter-county projects that shall be
approved. A committee, composed of
Messrs. Harvey Chenault, County
Judge ]. d. Goodloe and County Road
Engineer j. G. Baxter, was named
to draw up and formulate submission
of the road tax question to the
voters at the November election.
The members of the special Citi-
zens' Committee, as named by the
Fiscal Court to cooperate with them
are. Messrs. M. C. Kellogg, r. E. Tur-
ley, John Gay. Harvey Chenault, R.
NJ. Rowland, Arch Hamilton, Walter
F. Park and Rice Woods.
The motion for the acceptance of
the Mckee road offer of the
State Department was made by
Magistrate Dave Smith of Be.
rea. The motion was carried, but
lively argument ensued before it
was put over, the main contention
being that Madison county is at the
present time short Of funds and the
available money from reular taxa
tion should be used on repairing
roads that have long been built and
are in bad state of preservation.
But after the vote of the citizens
committee for zoe road tax, the
general feeling twoard the Mckee
proposition was much better and the
people were ready to endorse the
project.
1t is estimated that 100000 would
be sufficient to take care Of Madison
county's part of all state-aid projects
and that 2Oc road tax for five years
would amply meet the needs.

 Crawling through a steampipe tunnel which runs under the prison yard, and dugging under three concrete walls, the fugitives made their way into the base- ment under the warden's residence and escaped through a basement window.
 The alarm was given at 4-30 o'clock, when the men were-Dut into their cens for the regular night ''to check up." About twenty guards and a detachment of state police started search but were hampered by heavy fall of snow. Within half an hour two of the fugitives were appre- hended, but the others had not been found up 10 late hour tonight. :.
 One of the escaped men is Eddie weis. man of Detroit, who with Tony Yarnick assaulted a deputy sheriff in the railroad station at Bay City last summer while they were being transferred to Jackson from Marquette and made their escape WeiSman was later caught in Detroit and returned to prison under a tentenee of from twenty to forty years.

 The announcement comes on the hee.s
 of a special report on oil promoters issued
 by the committee after an investigation in the Texas oil fields by Edward Schwab
 former postofice inspector, and a number | of government inspectors. In a state. ment tonight the advertisers committee
 declared that much evidence had been ob-
 tained against bogus operators and that it would be placed in the hands of gov ernment prosecutors. "In pursuance of it's policy of concen- | trating on the abuses in one particular in- | dustry at time, until they are removed or materially reduced" the statement 1 says. "the national committee will for the
 present devote it's activities to oil, and as
 Texas is the great incubator for sucker | lists. Mir. Schwab will continue his work !. in that state until conditions show radi. cal improvement"
 Owing to the increasing difficulty in the
 publicity line. the report says. some bogu, oil stock operators are publishing theii own newspapers, through which the,
 build sucker lists and then, by use ol i the mails, drive home the stock appeal; of one promotion after another.

Greece Experiencing a Ministerial Crisis
Caused by Trial of Former Greek Cabinet Ministers on Charge of Treason.

Athens Nov. 25.-Dy the A. P1- The trial of former cabinet ministers and others charged with treason, in connection with the defeat of the Greek army by the Turks is reaching it's last stages.
 The past two days were spent by the counsel for the revolutionary com nittee in addressing the court in sup port of the contention that the defend- ants are guilty. Todays proceedings were given over to the defense. A verdict probably will be reached early next week.
 A ministerial crisis has arisen in consequence of the declaration of the British representatives against the inn position of death sentences against the accused. The officials of all the other countries, except France, have orally supported the British.
 The revolutionary committee hold; that the verdict of the court must be carried out, no matter what it is. The Greek official worli and ihr general public indignantly resent th3E foreign intervention. It is unders;oo, that if difficulties arise in the form1- tion of new cabinet to take the place of that of Zamais which re. resigned Friday, the revolutionary com, mttee will take up the reins of govern ment and constitute a military cabinet which will include civilian minister: from certain of the departments.

 This unquestionably is a move calcu- lated to secure peace in the Balkans, but Europe hesitates to take over direct responsibility concerning Balkan terri tory, which so many wars have been fought and where the national aspira- ; tionse'' are still a powerful factor for discord.
 Similarly Turkey asks that the Aege- an islands which lie near her Ana:oiian coast be demilitarized and an autono- nous form of government established This is an extension to the sea of the mural belt proposal suggested for the ! Balkans.
