CLAY COUNTY SLAYER
GETS Life Term

Manchester, Ky, Dec. 1S--
Roy Smallwood was given a life
sentence in the pcnitentiary for
the killing from ambush OF John
Taylor on the head of Mill Creek
April IA, by a jury i'll Judge A.
T. w. Manning's court. Taylor
was Il Deputy Sheriff.
The killing of Taylor marked
the beginning of the recent i'll
vestigations Of the Mill Creek
section. Officers were on their
way to arrest persons thought
to be connected with the killing
of Taylor when they were fired
upon from ambush. This re-
suited in the wcunding Of Dep
uty Sheriff Pitt StivcrS and the
killing OF two horses Evidence
of the wholesale manufacture Of
whisky were said to have been
seen by officers Judge Hiram
Johnson decided on d clean up
and issued warrants for every
man, woman and child over the
age OF =. Many sensational
things developed i'll these invcs-
legations. The men who fired
on the Offices confessed and
were sentenced to four years
each in the state penitentiary.
The commonwealth proved
'hat Taylor. had indicted the
indicted man and Buchell Smith
(or moonshining and that they
had threatened his life on sever
al occasions in the presence of
a number of witnesses. A few
days before Taylor was killed

and Smallwood were proved to
be near.

WOMEN MUST PAY
POLL TAX IN 1923

Beginning with tf4 coming
year women will be required to
pay poll tax as concomitant OF
equal rights, according to de
clsion of the Court of Appeals.
This is III line with other states
where the same question has
arisen since suffrage was CON
ferrcd on the women.
This will mean that wherever
poll taxes exist they will be re-
quired of women above legal
age. In most counties of Keii-
tucky a poll tax of $l.50 is levi
ed, to which nearly every mu-
nicipal;ty adds an addition tax.
Neither Jefferson county nor the
city Of Louisville imposes poll
tax, but such an impost is the
rule rather than the exception
elsewhere in the state.
While poll taxes are imro cI
on all males of legal age, col
lection of same only is assured
from those owning property. As
a result, every shcritf's settle
ment' is cluttered with a long
list Of delinquents. 1t may b.
that when the women are sub
jected to such a tax the rate will
be reduced where pcll taxes are
levied.

Miss Snapp to set some day as the

said it was the Monday before the

tradiction to the defendants testimony
that it was the Wednesday or Thurs
day following.
Emory Kimball, brother of Hard
mans divorced wife, was called back
in rebuttal. He said that all Mrs.

and she separated from Hardman and
Mrs. Renaker, going off in separate
cars, was that "she hoped Scohee and
his wife would patch ptheir troubles

Stanley Rummaus Paris merchant,
that he would get a split of the re-
ward for Hardman's arrest, or that
Chief Fred Link, of Paris, would col
lect it for him.
Kimball said again that Hard
man had told him he would be
rich now if that other fellow in
France hadn't backed 0at. and
that he would give 500 to him if
he would kill Clvde DOuglas.
Kimball also said that Hard

STRIKE LEADERS
ARE HOPEFUL
Union Leaders, However, Believe Peace
Plans Will Be Opposed BY
Railroad Executives.

| Chicago, July 81 (By the Associated
Press Strike leaders were arriving
from all parts of the country to-day
for Tuesdays meeting called to consid
er President Harding's plan for a set.
tlement of the railway shopmen'
strike and hopes were expressed that
the men would be back at work before
the end of the week
The position of the striking sIopmen
was expressed by A. o. Wharton, labor
member of the United States railroad
labor board, who declared:
IF either the railroad executives
meeting in New York Tuesday or the
shops crafts policy committee meeting
in Chicago should reject Mr.. Harding 5
peace proposal, the group that rejects
it would face full responsibility for
continuation of the rail strike and all
that might result therefrom.
The union leaders, however, expressed
the belief that the peace plan would
meet with the strongest possible oppo-
sition from railroad executives attend
ing Tuesdays meeting in New York Mt
the call of T. Dewitt CaIyler. They ex-
pressed the belief that the presidents
plan would be accepted finally, but
only after bitter struggle based on
the refusal of many roads to consent to
the restoration Of seniority privileges
to the strikers.
The seniority issue, member Of the
labor board declared, which arose after
the beginning Of the strike, was not as
formidable as it appeared at first sight.
One of the plans under consideration,
he said, would return pension priv
ileges and seniority rights to the str.k-
ers, but would rank them on the shop
lists below the men who remained at
work but ahead of the new men who
had been taken on during the emer-
gency. He said that this would not
conflict with any promises made to
new employees and would be in line
with settlements reached in other rail-
way strikes.
In railway circles it was asserted
that any settlement would insist on a
return to work by the men under the
'educed wages put into effect by the
abor board on July l, pending re.
rearing.
