Old man herring of the sharp

numerous along the river front last
Sunday that parties snagging from
the sea walls hooked more than
they could use and were giving
them away to spectators who look

Spring football practice has
been conducted in touch with
lacrosse. Folwell and his assist
ants, who have been working with
the football men this year, have
been conducting their practice in
a field adjacent to that in which
the lacrosse was practiced, and at
the conclusion Of the latter his
aggregation would be greatly re-

Wills Acquitted
of Murder Charge

After celebrating but a few min
utes, the jury brought in a verdict
of not guilty in the case of the COM
monwealth against Henry Wills,
charged with the killing of Henry
Burgess in Powell county last De-
cember. The case was heard before
Judge Henry R. Prewitt in circuit
court yesterday, Charles d. Grubbs,
acting prosecuting attorney, with c.
w. Nesbitt and Tom Grubss attor-
neys for the denfense. A large
number of witnesses were examined
and the entire day was given over
to the hearing of the case.
Wills, who killed Burgess with a
single tree during a fight, claimed
that he acted in self-defense. I'm
mediately after the affair Wills
drove to this city and gave himself
up to the authorities. Burgess was
brought here to the Mary Chiies Hos
pital, where he died as a result of
the blow.

for the prompt response and effec-

there would have been heavy loss
to property and merchandise own
ers. The fire was In the store and
apartment building Of Lafe Risner
on Queen street near Locust, q new
two-story frame structure. the first
floor occupied by Treadyay Bros.
with groceries and meats and the
second floor by families. The fire
was caused by gas explosion In q
small department where the gas
meters are located. The odor Of
escaping gas caused Mr.. Treadway
to enter this dark room and a light
ed match caused the explosion and
ignited that part of the building.
Damage to the building as well as
stock was covered by insurance.

s,ooo,oooTH FORD BUILT MAY 10

6,000,oo0TH FORD BUILT MAY IS
The six millionth Model ct" Ford
motor was produced May IS in the
Ford factory at Detroit. In other
words, from the time back in 1908
when the Ford Motor Company be-
gan marketing the now famous Mod
ell ct" motor car until May IS, 1922,
total of six million Ford cars and
truck shave been produced. Out of
this total 5,517,956 were delivered to
purchasers in the United States
alone, and according to the latest
statistics, 4,47S,24S of these Ford
cars and trucks are still in daily SER
vice.
Thus, it will be seen that out Of
every five Ford cars and trucks sold
to retail purchasers in the United
States alone during the past fourteen
years, four are still in actual daily
use, which is really remarkable
when the hard service of commercial
cars is taken into consideration. This
seems to forcibly confirm the popu
lar knowledge of the longevity of all
Ford cars.
That Ford products have been quite
evenly distributed throughout the
United States is borne out by the
fact that through the sparsely set
tied communities in the west to the
densely populated cities Of the east
practically the same ratio of Ford
cars and trucks to population exists
Ohio leads with a total of 290,769
Ford cars and trucks in daily use; II
linois comes second; Pennsylvania
third; Texas fourth, and Michigan is
fifth, with a total of 234.081. New
York, Iowa and California follow In
the order named, each having more
than 100000.
An idea Of the important part play
ed by Ford cars and trucks in the
daily transportation of goods and
persons in the United States can be
gained by realization of the fact that
with the Ford cars now in operation
averaging a minimum of 5000 miles
pre- each year, they would pile up o
total OF twenty-five billion transpor
tatio miles-equivalent to more
than a million trips around the
world.

Freight Rates
Cut 10 Per Cent

Reductions in freight rates averag-
ing about 10 per cent we're ordered
yesterday by the Interstate Com
merce Commission In a decision re-
sulting from its inquiry into the gen.
eral structure of the nation.
The cut in freight rates was fixed
by the commission at IA per cent
in eastern territory; 10 IL per cent
in western territory and IL IL per
cent in the southern and mountain
and Pacific territories. All reduc-
lions ordered are effective July 1
and constitute a greater cut than
was generally expected.
The commission, in ordering the
ecreases-which are on horizon
tai basis--held that the nations
railroads are entitled to earn 5 "a
per cent on the value of their prop
erty rather than the Approximate 6
per cent fixed as reasonable return
in the transportation act of 1920.
Transportation charges on passen-
ger travel and Pullman charges were
left unaffected by yesterdays de-
cision.
Agricultural products will not be
affected by the reduction granted I'M
der the commissions order yester-
day. The reduction Of 16 IL per
cent made in the western hay and
grain rates last fall and the volun-
tary 10 per cent cut made in all ag-
ricultural products by railroads on
January will be substituted for
the decision on these commodities.
