clared their intention likewise to
remember Charlotte in their wills.
Here was brown mite, the
Misses Andrews reasoned, not likely
to have real chance in life. They
longed 10 express the maternal feel
ing of care and protection; why not
adopt" Charlotte and express it?
That's what. they've done, making
her the wealthiest race girl in the
state capitol.
The Hughes Case.
Another case of adoption and ro-
nance a-la-South was disclosed three
years ago in Lexington, Ky.
Colonel John 7. Hughes, aged SO,
one of the wealthiest white farmers
in central Kentucky. died leaving the
bulk of his 100000 estate to three
colored servants.
The servants are Mrs. Ellen Davis,
about 60 years old, his housekeepsr.
her SON Robert Henry Hughes, and
Alexander Rankin, t he Colonel's
valet.
An important thing to note is that
Hughes was a bachelor, according to
his friends, and never married, and
that the son of his housekeener was
given the Colonel's name, he was
adopted"
Rumor is that a common-law ar
rangement existed be waen the
couple who loved each other dearly,
but who never we'd on account of
the difference between their races. !.
The Hughes estate includes about
1000 acres of the best land in the
Blue Grass country. 1t fronts the
Lexington Paris road. The house,
together with 293 acres of land, went
to Mrs. Davis who got also the con-
tents, which include antiques and
modern furnishings, his farming
utensils, wagons, stock, etc.
Robert Henry Hughes, the colored
son, got the Sudly farm on another
pike with 160 acres worth $500 per
acre. s3 sS
Alexander Rankin, the Colonel's
valet, who served the Colonel for 40
years. was given the Ware farm con-
tanning 96 acres worth at least
$4,000, for his natural life time
and at Rankin's death the farm, ac-
cording to the will, will revert to
Robert Henry Hughes W no m the
Colonel styles in his will as the "son
of my old colored servant, Ellen
Davis, who has worked for me faith
fully for over 40 years"
Colonel Hughes never went around
about the neighbors. The bluest
! blood of the South is said to have
| flown in his veins. He knew few
people although everybody knew
him.. %
I His colored family is likewise
quite reticent. Mrs. Davis, at the
time, lived in rather plain home in
Chestnut street in the colored sec
ton of Lexington.
The d o ted son was abroad.
Theirs is the "big house" now, de-
spite a contest filed by other rela-
tives of the old man.

Predict Koppers Coke
Will Gain Universal Use
In Valley Homes

Contrary to the generally accepted
opinion the factories and workshops
are not the chief offenders, at least
not in Hamilton, in the continuance
OF the smoke evil. To remarkably
large degree, electricity has been
adopted for power purposes. This
has eliminated very generally the
smoking factory chimneys that in
other days were accustomed to drop
down their showers of smoke and SCOT
upon sections Immediately contiguous
and sometimes even more remotely.
The real and the most common of
fender has been and is the Individual
home. In stoves and furnaces, used
for heating purposes, soft" or BIZ
luminous coal long has been the uni
versal fuel. The time was when wood
fires were almost universal. But tim
Der long ago became so scarce that
the present generation has become un-
familiar with woodsheds, wood piles,
cordwood, stove wood and all that.
In the fall, winter and spring sea-
sons the output of smoke and SCOT
from home chimneys is enormous.

At this time very extended ad-
vertising campaign is being conducted
by the Hamilton Coke and Iron Co.,
through the newspapers of the Miami
valley, the purpose of which is to
make the public familiar with the
fact that a practically unlimited sup
ply of Miami Koppers coke now is
available at the very door of Hamil-
ton.
Advertisements of Miami Kop-
pers' are to be found appearing in a
multitude of papers in Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky, particularly in the
field Immediately served They are
directing attention to this fuel, clean
and smokeless, now obtainable prac-
tically for the first time regularly and
in unlimited quantity.
The universal adoption of coke as
a domestic fuel, for home use, GER
tainly would accomplish result lit
tie short of revolutionary, in respect
to cleanliness and freedom from SCOT
Universal adoption would tend to
make this Miami valley famous in
new way.

UNION TREASURY
LOOTED BY REDS

Boston.-The international Ladies'
Garment Workers convention voted
to submit to the referendum pro-
posal that the membership be assessed
to wipe out 81 $4,000 debt incurred
by Communists who had charge of
the recent strike in New York City.
The "reds" confiscated $850,000
the employers deposited with the un-
ion to assure faithful performance of
agreements. These securities were
held in trust by the union, but the
Communists considered the pledges
part of their loot.
After the Communists were elimi-
mated the international obligated it
self to refund the securities.

COURTS USURP,
SAYS SENATOR

Washington.-To check the usurp-
alton of federal judges is the purpose
of bill introduced by Senator Wag-
ner.
The bill would exclude local pub
lie utilities from the jurisdiction of
these judges.
Senator Wagner cited the case of
the Interborough Rapid Transit COM
pany of New York City, which secured
federal judicial order to raise fares
to 7 cents. A state court enjoined the
company from breaking its scent
contract with the city.
Local utilities are created by the
state" said Mr.. Wagner. "They are
given permission to do business and
are accorded special franchise and
monopoly privileges by the state OF
it's municipalities. The source of all
their rights and powers is the state
but, when their duties are in ques-
ton, the utilities show marked pref
erence for the federal courts and ar
antipathy to the jurisdiction of the
state courts.
at can be readily demonstrated
that the greatest offender against the
principle of local self-rule has been
not the executive, nor the Legislative
branch of the government, but the
judicial. The federal courts have beer
most aggressive in the steady en-
croachment of federal power upon tht
sovereignty of the states.

factories, in home and, in fact, every
where that there may be possibility
of exposure to the products of incom-
plete combustion of fuels.
The film will show how, by proper
ventilation, accumulations of carbon
monoxide may be prevented. There
will also be picturized methods of first
aid treatment and resuscitation which
may be administered to a victim of
carbon monoxide if found before death
has occurred.

Morning, noon and night, walks, porch
floors, roofs and lawns are covered
with their deposits of SCOT. 1t is
tracked in under foot. When the rains
come it is carried by the downspouts
into the cisterns, there to foul the
water desired for laundry purposes.
Hamilton's factories and industries
have made a real contribution to-
wards making a cleaner city. 1t re-
mains for the home to add their bit.
When coal is burned in its raw
state, as it is in home furnaces and
stoves, not equipped for its efficient
use, large part of the valuable sub
stance in coal escapes in the form of
black smoke and soot 1t is wasted
and pollutes the atmosphere.
People now are coming to realize
that smoking chimney is a sign the
owner is not using his coal as he
should. 1t has been found that these
wasted products of coal may be ex-
tracted and turned into valuable by
products, while that which remains is
a smokeless fuel (coke), more con-
centrated and giving as much heat as
before.
Burning coke in the furnace has
other advantages. Every one using
coal in his furnace knows how much
time he has to give to poking and stir
ring the fire to keep it going He
knows, too, how the pipe and the hues
become clogged ever so often and have
to be cleaned. He knows what dirty
and unpleasant job it is.
1t often happens that the furnace
refuses to burn at the most inconven-
lent times. Often the housewife has
to do the cleaning herself or suffer
from cold until the man of the house
or some other male member of the
family can come home and do the
cleaning.
Moreover, the cleaning to be done
is not limited to the furnace and the
fues. 1t extends throughout the en-
tire house. With hot air furnaces,
such as most generally are in use,
some of the coal SCOT is carried thru
the hot air ducts and deposited upon
clothing, furniture, curtains, walls,
etc. These must needs be cleaned fire.
quently to retain their appearance of
freshness.
The cleanliness of coke will appeal
to the housewife in this particular, as
it lightens her labors.
Regardless of what may be told to
the contrary, it is necessary to make
no changes in the average furnace
when coke is used for fuel. 1t is
simply matter of quantity and regu
lation. Coke may be burned satisfac
torily in any furnace having but
terhy damper and check draft. Prac-
tically every furnace in common use
is SO equipped.
An objection frequently raised is
that the intense heat of coke burns
out the furnace CRATES. 1t is true no
more than it is of coal. 1t is possible
to burn out CRATES with either but
only as the result of gross careless
ness and neglect.
Burning of CRATES results only when
the firepot is full of fuel and the ash
box practically full of ashes, convert
ing the furnace into a forge with ap-
plication of an intense heat on both
sides of the crate. 1t never is pos
sble to melt piece or iron by heating
it on one side only.
Coke is easy to regulate-takes
less amounts easy to handle-has
fewer ashes-demands less attention.
1t is easy to learn it's use.

In the Stock Market
CBy thomson g. McKinnonJ

NEW YORK, May 14.-Trade
reports from Federal Reserve
centers are similar to other weeks
with some districts showing better
than others. In European markets
there is the belief that the New
York Reserve Board will increase
its discount rate and cause drop
in the market. This thought leaves
the question as to whether any
great amount of selling can be
looked for from these sources.
America ntraders seem to give little
thought to this factor preferring
to study the profit possibilities in
the shares of companies likely to
give stock rights or where con-
Solidation plans may cause further
market appreciation. In this class
railroad and public utility shares
predominant. The political situa-
ton will develop some speed during
the next few weeks and give traders
additional factors for consideration.
However, with Congress adjourning
little time remains in which to pass
what could be disturbing legislature.
For the past month Withdrawals
from the money markets on Mon
days seem to have become bank
ing precedent and while the money
market has righted itself, it should
not be forgotten that last weeks
6 per cent rate did not quickly at
tract funds in volume as heretofore.
This could mean that the credit
situation is really tightening.

WHEAT FUTURES
LEAD DOWNTURN
IN CHICAGO PITS
Major Grain Closes Lower
After Passing Satur-
days High.
BIZ United Press

BIZ Ohued Press
Chicago, May 14-Breaking late in
the day, after attempts of shorts to
cover had sent prices above Satur-
days close, wheat closed with frac-
tional losses on the Board of Trade
today. Corn broke with wheat early
in the day and held low with reports
of favorable planting weather. Oats
alSa dropped with wheat.
Closing prices were: Wheat, off
Is @13sc, May losing the most; corn,
off 21@ Q2%c, and oats down is a
312c. Provisions were lower.
The market was nervous through
out the day, with rapid price
changes. Following an upturn there
was a wave of selling, but later
shorts attempting to cover found
offerings light and the market went
higher, in spite of reports of good
rains in Kansas and Nebraska and
moisture in the Northwest.
Corn ranged about 2 cents and
showed little rallying power. The
tone was heavy on the dips. Plant
ing has beeen nearly completed, and
with good rains, prospects are for
a good crop.
Oats showed more strength than
other grains, due to unfavorable
crop news. Rain is needed.

ASK NEW RING RULE
Plan Proposed to Place
Mayor in Charge.

Appointment of a boxing COM
mission by Mayor L. Ert Slack to
replace the present city council
commission was proposed today by
Councilman Robert E. Springsteen.
Springsteen, chairman of the
council boxing committee, said he
probably will sponsor a revised
ordinance which will give the
Mayor authority to name the COM
mission.
THE council is a legislative body
and should not be charged with
such duties as regulating boxing
matches in my opinion" Spring
steen declared.
Il am in favor of the city regu-
lating boxing matches, but not of
collecting a per cent tax. 1t seems
to me that a good license fee would
cover the needs very nicely" the
chairman said.
The legal department is expected
to be asked to draw a new ordi-
nance to replace the present meas
IRE which is being attacked as il
legal.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRL, IA,
MISSING FROM HOME
Disappeared Wednesday After At
tending Glasses.

- HAMMOND, Ind, May 14.-Police
of Chicago and cities of northern
Indiana's industrial region were
asked today to aid in search for
Natalie Forsyth, IA, who has been
missing from her home here since
Wednesday.
Natalie is the daughter of Dr. N.
f. Forsyth, national director Of re-
ligious education for the Methodist
Episcopal Church. The father was
ordered confined to a hospital to-
day by physicians who feared he
might collapse.
Natalie left her home Wednesday
morning for Hammond High School,
She attended classes through the
day, but failed to return home after
school.
It was learned the girl had gone
to drug store after leaving school,
but police have been unable to trace
her since that time.
