BAD ADVICE Responsible FOR
MUCH NEWPORT DISORDER
Judge Cochran Makes This Statement
In Refusing New Trial to Men Con.
yicted Of Intimidating Workers,

Much Of the violence in Newport
has ben due to bad ADVICE Judge
Cochran said in overruling a motion
ut Covington Monday for new trials In
the cases Of Andy Bogenschultz, Carl
Brucehaber, James O'Brien, John
Donsbach and Steve Fackerty.
The men were convicted last Fri
day by Jury on a charge Of con-
spring to Interfere with trade in vio-
'ation of the interstate commerce
laws. They were represented by At
torneys Arthur Hall, Bellevue. and O..
NJ Rogers, Covington, who sought a
new trial for their clients.
Attorney Hall in his argument, con-
tended that his clients had committed
no offense and were resorting to
peaceful means to induce Albert Yock-
ey, truck driver, to quit delivering
, steel billets from the Andrews Steel
Plant to firm in Cincinnati on last
December 6. -
Judge Cochran said that If the strik-
ers had sought to prevail on Yockey
to quit work while he was not in the
act Of performing his duties they
would be acting within their rights
!'e said Yockey was engaged in driv-
ing his loaded truck, and that the de-
:endants had no right at that time to
interfere with him.
Judge Cochran held that the Clay
ion act did not give the strikers the
right to interfere with men while al
work, but that they had the right to
approach them at their homes and at
other places in the effort to persuade
them not to work while the strike was
on.
"If you point gun at mans head
and then argue with him you can not
call that persuasion" said the Court
In reviewing the testimony Judge
Cochran said; These men surrounded
the truck that Yocker was driving;
that is intimidation and not persua-
sion. II the Newport strikers have
been given the advice that they can
do this kind of persuadine 1t perhaps
is the cause of az Of the violence" The
Court overruled the motion for a new

The pageantry attending the arrival
of the Queen of Sheba at the court of
King Solomon, which has held its
place fo rcentures in song and story
as supremely magnificent, is visual
'zed in the picture drama in manner
completely satisfying to ALL
There is scene after scene of great
beauty and maghificence in Queen of
Sheba"-the marriage festival at the
court of King Armud, the arrival at
Solomon's court, the day of races and
games, including the chariot race be-
tween the Queen of Sheba and the
Princess Vashti; the arrival of David,
son Of Solomon. the little Prince of
Shebai the battle between the forces
of Solomon and Adonilah, and the pa
thetic final departure of the Queen of
Sheba for her own realm.
Betty blythe is voluptuously royal
and beautiful Queen of Sheba, and
enacts the exacting role impressively,
besides showing great daring and skill
in the chariot race; Fritz Lieber. the
noted Shakespearian actor, is an eff
fective Solomon: Nell Craig is the
Princess Vashti, George Siegmann is
King Armud, and Claire de Lorez is
Queen Amarath, wife of Solomon.
The chariot races in their thrilling
realism came as a distinct surprise,
bringing audible expressions of en-
citement and admiration from the aud

Dear Sir Our attention has been

I'm this article / statement is made
that there was shortage of over $780,

recently completed an audit of the
books and records of the Treasurer of
the City of Maysville. for the period
December 1, 1918, to December 81.
1921, and IN this audit covered every
thing with the exception of the De-
iinquent Tax Account and found all
receipts and disbursements properly
accounted for.
"1n our report of February "a, 1922,

Sheet shows that the city had a net

1918, of s114,71OO6 and at December
81, 1921, s92,S7357. AS explained in

against all outstanding bonds as
shown by the books, and there was not
taken into consideration any fixed or

CATTLE PROBLEM

InAsmuch as the math fans are
again showing unusual interest in
problems, we will be glad to get
difficult problems as offerings to
these sharks. They must be plain
and reasonably brief, however, with
algebraic and geometric characters
eliminated. as the linotype machines
do not have these. With each prob
lem submitted we shall expect the
authors own solution for our infor-
nation. II in the form Of drawings.
they must be in black ink and on
white paper.
The cattle problem of c. ].
MENASCO brought a large number
of answers. There may be many
combinations of answers and that
explains why the maths do not all
send in identical solutions.
Both CLARENDON" and PHIL"
practically agree on this particular
solution: One horse, SIS: one cow,
$35; four calves at 1915, $35; five
hogs at $1,000, $3.50: six pigs at
$3.50, $21; twenty-eight sheep at
s1.75, $40; fifty-five goats at $3.50,
$3.50. Total, $3.50.
