In Garrett Watts Case

Presiding Judge James G. Dedman,
Of Cynthiana, in the Bourbon circuit
court Tuesday held valid the con-
tract signed by Garrett Watts, of Lex
ington. pledging his tobacco to the
Burley Tobacco Growers Co-opera-
tive Association and held that the
contract is binding on the defendant
as a member of the association.
The Judge overruled the demurrer
of Mr. Watts to the petition of the
hurley association and awarded the
pool judgment for 1926 and its cost.

tered into by the plaintiff with diff

The protest of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company against the
establishment Of a motor bus line on
Rhode Island avenue will be heard by
the public utilities commission at 10
o'clock on the morning Of April 10.
The proposed service is to be operated

alternately to the Center Market and
to Potomac Park.
The North Capitol and lexington

probably will be represented at the

The commission last August gave
the transit company permission to es-

company has ordered the busses.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio contends that the territory
through which the busses propose to
operate is now adequately served by

of busses on Rhode Island avenue
would constitute unfair competition.

PEk1NG, June 9.-Two things stood
out today as indica tions Of hope for
the carrying through Of the central
China leaders plans for unification Of
China-military successes in the
north. which perhaps will release
enough of Gen. WI Pei -fus troops to
enable him to make strong demon
stration against the south China
forces Of DR.. Sun Yat-sen. and un-
official word from Tientsin that Ii
Yuan hung was willing to modify the
terms on which he would accept the
presidency of the Peking government
Against this were evidences from
Canton that DR.. Sun daily is fortify-
ing his position at the head Of what
he contends Is the only constitutional

Of a president has created a situation
regarded as threatening to plans for
reunion of north and south China.
Chang Tso-lin sued for and received
an armistice yesterday from Gen. WI
Pei-fu. who has. driven him steadily
backward toward his Manchurian
strongholds. and the terms arranged
assume the establishment of a perma-
nent peace between these two leaders.

that Lis dissolution of parliament in

FORMER MIN0TERS BACK FROM
ALASKA; PACKED HERRING

r. T. jacobson and sons Isador and

Gently. The Jacobsons are pioneer
residents of Minot and stopped here
with a car load of their choice Scotch
cured herring, which will be dlstrlbut-
ed out of Minot thru this territory.
The Jacobsons have had remarkable
success in the fishing industry in
Alaska and will undoubtedly return!
there early the coming summer. They
not only own their own fishing boats,
but hire crew of forty fishermen and
packers, and supervise the marketing
of the herring. They packed 1000
barrels of choice Alaska herring dur
ing the past season, equivalent to 80
large freight cars. Each barrel
weighs from $50 to PTS pounds.
They hired their own fishing crew
in Seattle and it was made up of half
a dozen nationalities. They paid their
TRANSFORMATION to Alaska, furnished
them food and good wages, secured an
expert to supervise the sailing of the
herring and did their own marketing.
The herring is Scotch cured which
is said to be far superior to the Nor
wegian method of curing, which re-
uuires great deal more salt. The
Jacobsons own three fishing boats
each manned by crew of seven. The
boats go out into the bay and remain
there for weeks at a time, the tenders
making trips out daily to bring in the
fish needed for packing. One boat re-
mained out six weeks and when the
men returned they had grown fairly
