His Home in Union Street

Smelling an odor which he took for
whisky mash, Officer Harry Stewort,
shortly after midnight Thursday sent
in an alarm for assistance and Officers

the colored mans home. It is all cop
per and has perfect copper coil. In
the living room Of the house a half
barrel Of mash was found. The mash
was just about ready to be used in the
still and Moore was probably making

Moore for some time but they have
never before had hood reason to OBJ
tain a search warrant. Moore will be
given hearing by Police Judge H. C.

.lOCBl BALL CLUB LEADERS
Meeting WITH MUCH SUCCESS
Maysyllle Club Officials Having No
Trouble To Finance Organization
Raise $500 In First Day Out.

Maysville is strong supporter OF
baseball and especially league ball,
this is proven by the phenomenal sue
cess with which the officers of the
local Bluegrass league club met on
Thursday, their first day of canvass
ing for finances to make baseball pos
sible in Maysville. In one day out the
local ball officials received contribu-
tons of $1,000 in cash.
1t is estimated that 1t will require
about two thousand dollars to put the
grounds at the old race track in first
class condition and the club officers
think there will be no trouble in the
club meeting its own expenses after
the grounds have been put in condi-
ton.
With about one more days canvass
ing. the officials hope to have enough
funds to assure first class diamond
and then work will be started to put
1t in shape.

feet and 440 volts shot through his

and all medical effort to restore him
to consciousness failed.
Roy Sleeper. coroner, Sheriff Suth-
erland and County Attorney Brown
went to Mildred last night to investi-
gate the affair and the story they
bring back is as follows:
Harding, along with v. L. Smith
and c. Z. Moore, both Of lola, and q
couple OF other workmen, were en-
gagged in attaching some chain falls"
to the roof of the building in order to
do some subsequent heavy lifting. The
men had been working outside and all
of their clothes were weet Smith and
Moore were on tthe roof and Harding
had started to ride a couple OF
heavily insulted wires to put himself
In position to do the work required OF
him. At one spot the wires had once
been repaired and the Insulation re-
placed with wrappings Of wire tape,
Harding apparently touched both OF
these places with his hands at the
same instant and the 44O volts passed
through his body. His lifeless form
was discovered hanging limp over the
wire a few minutes later. Both hands

There were those who believed that
the Senate Finance committee, to

changes in 1t. Some Administration
officers were known to look to the
Senate to pass a measure providing
means for financing the bonus, but
they were not prepared to predict
whether the means would be taxes or
the use of foreign bonds.
Party lines were effaced in the over
whelming vote Of 242 Republicans, 80
Democrats and Socialist supporting
the bill, while ~ Republicans and %
Democrats voted against 1t. Support

Everyday Adventures
That's What You Call Service

When you collect your best let
tiers of recommendation and put on
your neatest clothes and start going
the rounds of the business houses
with whom you'd like to establish
a payroll acquaintance
And you find that your letters
gain you interviews with a number
of prominent employers and you're
sure that you've made a good i'm
preston, but each one of them tells
you that there isn't an opening of
any sort with them
And you're feeling thoroughly
discouraged until you think little
further and a brand new idea ex-
plodes within your troubled mind
and that is-that maybe if EVERY
employer in the city knew about
you, one of them might take you
on
And so you stop at the Palladium
office and get trained ad taker to
help write. an ad telling all about
your experience and ambition
And two days later you feel like
shouting at the top of your voice
Il was RIGHT!'-as you come out
of an interview with the head of a
good firm who "just happened" to
be wanting a man and read your ad
in the Situation Wanted column!
