JACKSON COUNTY ROAD
PROJECT ASSURED
To Be Called the BoswOrth Trail

A delegation from Madison county
composed of County Judge Goodloe,
Messrs. Kellogg, Turley, Earring
and Baxter from Richmond, and
Messrs. Gay, Stephens, Dean, and
Clark, from Berea, went to Frankfort
Monday, May s, to meet the State
Highway Commission for the pur-
pose of discussing the Jackson
County Road Project. After a con.
ference Of some length the commits
sion voted unanimously to approve
the building of the road from Rich.
mond to Mckee.
It is thought that the surveys will
be made and contracts let in time for
the real work of road building to
begin in the spring of 1923. The ex-
act location of the road is to be de-
termined by the engineers. 1t will
probably be necessary for all land
tsners along the route decided up
Sn by the engineers to give a free
right of way thru their property.
1t is the plan of the road COM
mission eventually to extend this
road from Mckee thru Manchester
and Red Bird to Pineville. The
building of this road will be an
enormous task and will probably re-
quire three or four years for compile
tion. Every progressive citizen not
only along the line, but at both ends
must realize the vast importance of
this road project and should lend it
his hearty support so that the work
may be done as rapidly as possible.

THE second plenary session OF the

1t grows more apparent each day
that the Conference at Genoa is not
likely to accomplish what il started
to do. There were three main OBJ
jectives, one was to make a settle
ment with Russia, such that trade
might be renewed; another was to re-
store Germany to the association
with other nations, and a third was
to make some kind Of an agreement
that would bring about harmony and
prevent aggression between nations
of Europe. SO far these objects
have been defeated by Russia's atti-
tude of unwillingness to commit her.
self to the payment Of her obliga-
tions. and by the treaty between Ger
many and Russia on the basis of
mutual cancellation of debts and OBJ
legations and the renewal of diplo-
matte relations. Conditions NAV
change at any time, but so far the
main purposes have not been at
tanned.

KILLED MAN WHO OWED HIM S.
Tie Baker In Jail Charged With
Murder of NJ. J. Abney
Near BearwallOw

NJ. J. Abney, we'll known in the
Bearwallow section, was shot and
almost instantly killed by Tie
Baker, on the road near F. M
Jones' store, late Sunday afternoon
Baker was arrested and is in jail
here. He admits the shooting but
has said nothing about the cause OF
it except that it was over some
money.
Abney lived long enough to make
a dying declaration, in which he &C.
cused Baker of having shot him with.
out cause. The statement will be
used in the trial Of Baker. Com
monwealth Attorneys hope to have
an indictment returned by the
grand jury at once and have the
trial next week. County Attorney Joe
p. Chenault said that the case look,
ed to him like a sure shot for the
electric chair.
According to the dying statement
of Abney, Baker asked him fol
s. he claimed Abney owed him
Abney said that he told Baker that
he (Baker) owed him Sl9. Abney
said he then turned away and Baker
shot him. He said in the statement
that he did not see Baker pull his pis-
tol.
He said that after Baker shot him
he came to Abney and took the S5
out of his poke and then jumped
over a fence and went off. Abney
said that the men had been good
friends up to that time.
Baker fired only one shot from his
pistol, the bullet entering his groin
and causing his death in short time
There were at least IL eye wit
nesses, officials say, and he says that
Baker shot Abney without cause. He
said that after he was shot Abney
went and sat down under a tree and
Baker went to him and took the S.
from his pockets; that Abney re-
marked to him "Don't shoot me a,
gain; you have already killed me-
Several other witnesses have beer
summoned in the case. Officials say
that their information is that the ST
Baker claimed Abney owed him wa:
for some moonshine whiskey, while

owed him was a gambling debt.

that it was in accord with that Doc

DEVELOPMENTS of last week al.
~ most II not quite put the Genoa
conference on the rocks. More than
that. they brought Great Britain and
France to the verge ~ n rupture. At
this writing the prospect Is dark, for
all except the soviet Russians, who
appear to have maneuyered themselves
into just the position they wanted.
Prodded by TchItcherin and his col
leagues to give a quick answer 10 the
proposals Of the Russians, the allies
drew up terms which Lloyd George
declared embodied the maximum that
would be granted Russia and the mini
mum that would be- demanded from
her. Summarized. these were:
Russia recognizes her prewar debt.
The war debt will be recognized
but reduced, --.-.------
Russia must restore foreign property
or indemnify the owners for damage or
coniiscntion.
Russia will he expected 10 take such
judicial and other measures as will nj
tract foreigners 10 Russia for business
purposes.
France had yielded 10 the British on
the matter Of absolute restoration of
conhscated property. at the insistence
OF Lloyd George. but forced an amend
ment forbidding property In Russia to
be sllocated TO other persons than the
former owners. To this Lloyd George
appended this rider:
III exploitation OF property can only
be carried out by Its incorporation
In n general group. the preceding ar
rangemenfs will nnt Apply" ~
France then signed. but Belgium
absolutely refused to approve the prop
osition. Barthou hurried 10 Paris
and Premier Poincare told him some
things that had not come out at Genoa.
Thereupon the French cabinet agreed
unanimously 10 support Belgium and
withdrew the assent 10 the proposals
offered 10 Russia. This alone was
enough 10 strain International rela-
tions, but the Paris press added 10 IT
by its explanation Of the dispute over
the property clause. II made the fiat
charge that the sOvlets were negotlat-
ing to transfer TO English and Ger
mans oil field property that belongs
TO Frenchmen and Belgians, and that
Lloyd George added the above men
toned rider 10 further that scheme.
II did not seem probable, anyhow,
that the Russians would accept the
terms offered them. They were espe-
cially dlspleased with the fact that
recognition OF the soviet government
was not included. and they did not
like the article concerning foreign
property restoration. There were
other features that did not suit them.
and they got into communication with
Moscow. with the intlmation that their
answer might not be ready for some
time.

During the week there has been
fighting between the forces of the
two opposing generals, Chang Tsao-
Lin and WI Pei-Fu, in the neighbor-
hood of Pekin. General Chang was
defeated and obliged to retire to
Manchuria. General WI represents
Central China and aspires to unite
the parts of the republic. Both sides
profess to want the same thing. The
victory of WI makes possible the
continuance in office of the same
president, but his minister has been
forced to resign. 1t is the purpose
of the leaders to have a convention
called and more representative gov
ernment established. No great num-
bers have been involved in this in
ternal fighting, but it has been an
interference with trade and has
caused anxiety, as no one can tell
to what such conflict may lead.

The British Budget, introduced by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir
Robert Horne, into the House of
Commons is notable in several re.
spects. In the first place, it esti-
mates reduction in the expenditure
for the coming year of a billion dol
lars. This is made possible. cf
course, by the close of the war ard
the stopping of her naval building
program. Another feature that is
attracting notice is the rise in the
value of the English pound sterling.
By this rise the foreign debt of Eng
land is more easily paid, as it re-
quires less number of pounds to do
it. What is true of the rise in ex-
change value of English money is
true to a less extent of French
money and to a slight degree of Ger
man money.

A difficult question for England has
been raised by recent claim on the
part of Egypt to the region drained
by the upper Nile, usually called the
Sudan. This was gained for Egypt by
England in opposition to a fanaticaI
religious rebellion, and she did not
intend to renounce her protectorate
there, as she has done in lower
Egypt. The Sudan is region that
has been developed under England's
control, especially in the production
of cotton. 1t is NATURAL that Egypt
should desire to include the Upper
Nile. Aside from its production, the
Sudan has a strategic location in re-
lation to England and Frances CO.

Northern Africa.

JULIA MARLOWE IS
APPEALING PORT|A
She and e. n. Sothern Revive
"Merchant Of Venice"
at Lyric

Lyric--For the opening offering Of
their Shakespearean fortnight. Il. II:
Sothern and Julia Mnrlowe revived
''The Merchant of Venice thus giving
an aspect of novelty to the inaugural Of
their season, since this comedy has been
out of their repertory for several years.
Shakespeare tale Of Shylocks woes
and Portals craft is one OF the most
finished presentations in the Sothern-
Marlowe list, and last nights perform,
ance had all the fidelity to detail and
legitimate respect for the traditions, us
we'll as general harmony, that have in
the past characterized the co-stars'
productions.
The role of the resourceful Portia.
surely u prototype. of the advanced
woman clamoring for admission to the
bar and emulous of mixing in affairs, Is
better suited to Miss Marlowe's matured
art than the Juliet, which she used to
act with such rich youthful passion, or
even the Ophelia, which she still voices
80 richly in the lines. Her Portia Is
sophisticated, yet none the less OF
charm. She read the fine speeches. par
.ticularly "the quality Of mercy" with
exquisite intonation and expressive
feeling. These speeches are much like
the favorite arias of the Opera-waited
for expectantly and rapturously re-
ceived.
Mr.. Sothern's Shylock is a significant
and believable figure in its denotement
of longing for vengeance on the SIAN
derer of himself and. more deeply
lying, of his race; 1t has malevolence, q
touch of usurious greed. but that not
too much emphasized, for 1t is not the
primary motif and an abandon of frus
trated purposes and profound woe; it is
touched with realism, but never loses
the mood of romance which was Shake
speare's. lie read his lines as can few
actors on the contemporary stage in
the field of blank verse.
Outstanding In the very excellent
support were the gallantly romantic
Bussanio Of the admirable Frederick
Lewis and the opulently funny and
globular I.ancclot Gobbo of that sterling
veteran, Rowland Blackstone.
In restaging The Merchant for the
first time since their retirement in 1913,
- joint actor managers abandoned
heavy set and quasi realistic scenery
