CHIEF OF POLICE SHOT TO
DEATH IN IRVINE

Charles Gurley, chief of police at
Irvine, KY, was shot to death on
Sunday evening by man whose
name is thought to be Harris Daniels.
Since the shooting took place there
have been several conflicting reports
as to the causes which led to the
tragedy.
1t appears that Daniels had been
arrested by Gurley and taken to the
police station and there got the up
per hand of his captor and killed him.
Curley had a reputation of being
daring man and one whom the
moonshiners feared. It is said that
his life had been threatened several
times before.

RURAL COUNSEL FORMED
Plans Made at Saturday Lunch for
Cooperative Community Develop
ment for Southern Madison

A luncheon and meeting was held
at Boone Tavern, Saturday, January
28, which will, without doubt, have
an important bearing upon commu-
nifty development in Southern Madi-
son county.
Representatives were present from
seven important communities within
reach of Berea. They were, John
Anderson, Big Hill; A. b. Strong,
Scaffold Cane; I. B. Chestnut, Silver
Creek; II. o. Lamb, Wallaceton; Mrs.
NJ. A. Moody, Hickory Plains; John
McWilliams, Whites Station, and
George Moody. Kingston. These
were in conference with Robert F.
Spence, county agent, Everett Dix,
community development, and Helen
Kersey, recreation. The group or.
ganized themselves into a counsel for
community development. A commit
tee for Junior Agricultural Clubs was
appointed and confirmed as follows:
A. B. Strong, Chairman, Mrs. M. A.
Moody and Mrs. r. c. Coomer
They will have more or less regu-
lar meetings from time to time for
the purpose of considering the needs
Of our rural sections and for pro-
noting plans for their development.
An important movement now going
forward is series Of community
meetings being held in all of the
places mentioned, with the exception
Of Hickory Plains. and one other
place, Bobtown. Each of these points
is to have four meetings. One each
month during January, February,
March and April.
Following these meetings which are
intended to be entertaining, instruc-
tional and neighborly, it is intended
to put into operation projects for
general improvement and definite
achievement along certain lines. Each
community will undertake and accom-.
plish one or more definite things in
agriculture, health. sanitation, school
and home equipment, community,
community organizations, church and
Sunday-school work, or such projects
as they decide are most needed in
their respective communities.
The January meetings have already
been held and results have been very
satisfactory. Enthusiasm and de-
termination to accomplish something
have been in evidence at each meet
ing place. All forward steps and de-
cisions as to what is to be done are
made by the people OF the local COM
munities.
The workers in Berea consider them
selves only as helpers as being pres
ent only to carry out the desires Of
these people who have become arous-
ed to the Importance Of bettering
community conditions.
The various movements in commu-
nifty development augurs well for the
future Of Rural Southern Madison.

The proposed conference at Genoa
is a subject of much discussion. The
United States is invited to attend,
but the President let it become UNDER
stood that our country would not be
represented. The disappointment in
Europe was so great that he has de-
cided TO reconsider the matter. Care
full students Of current events believe
that the conference would be of little
value in bringing about an economic
reconstruction Of Europe unless there
is a full opportunity to thoroly dis
cuss the matter of reparations, the
great Indebtedness of the nations and

The death of Viscount James Bryce
is an event of international interest.
He was eighty-three years old. Al
tho born in Belfast, ireland, his
career was mainly connected with
England. He prepared himself for
the profession of the law, and at one
time held professorship of civil law
in Oxford University. In politics he
was a liberal. His we'll known book,
"The American Commonwealth" was
the result Of his travel in the United
States and conversations with Ameri-
cans in all walks of life. He was
greatly surprised at the popularity of
the book in this country, as it had
been intended for English readers
who did not know much about the
United States. Mr.. Bryce served
with much credit as English ambas-
sador to our country at a critical
time during the recent war. He
served his country also as chairman
of commission to examine into
cases of Cruel treatment of non-com-
batants in the recent war, and the
report of the commission is an au-
thority on the subject.

to those outside that a result has
been reached. There is generally a
good deal of electioneering for the
position among the different factions

1t is expected that the Washington
Conference will close early in Feb
ruary. They are bringing the work
rapidly to close. According to lat
est reports an agreement has been
reached between China and Japan on
the Shantung problem. 1t is in the
nature of a compromise and is not
likely to satisfy either of the home
countries. The question finally hinged
en- the disposal of the railroad which
runs along the peninsula. By the
settlement China agrees to buy 1t, the
payment TO be made in treasury nc tes
running fifteen years. Japan is to
have some connection with the run
ming of the road under Chinese off,
cials. The settlement is largely due
to influences of President Harding
and Sir Arthur Balfour of England.
The Chinese delegates to the confer
ence realize that the plan will meet
opposition, but they consider it the
best that can be made and prefer to
accept it rather than let the matter
continue unsettled.

along in the darkness and snow this

But II is the early morning work

the fact that the lamps are suppose d

the lamps are usually extinguished
several hours before that time. The
