Taft Flags Rnm
Money Combine
Brother OF Chief Justice Says Gil
gantic COrrupting Power Pro-
poses To Break Down
Laws OF Nation.

Boston, Jan. 18.-A charge that
worldwide liquor, wine and beer in
terests former "a gigantic corrupt
ing power" proposing ITO break
down the constitution and laws Of
the United States and to do with
money" was made here today by
Horace D. Taft, educator and broth
er of William Howard Taft, chief
justice of the United States.
81 am not fanatic on this sub
ject," he told 800 prominent citizens
of Massachusetts in an address at a
luncheon meeting of the Law En-
forcement league. II have never
been, except for the law, total alb
stainer."
Joining with Taft in urging Mas
sachusetts not to repeal it's state
prohibition enforcement act was
Charles T. Beaupre, captain of the
state police patrol. He asserted that
repeal would discourage honest and
loyal police officers, would cripple
state enforcement and would encour-
age the rum runner and the moon
sinner.
Tttributing economic, cocial and
moral benefits to prohibition, Taft
ridiculed the claim that enforcement
was a failure. He asserted that the
states which repealed their enforce
nent laws were largely abandoning
the benefits of prohibition and handi-
Gaping themselves with serious
evils.

MYSTERIOUS DISEASE
KILLS SCHOOL GIRL

The teacher and pupils of the one
room school at Kelly View, near the
State higway between Big Stone
Gap and Norton, are extremely sad
over the death of one of the prettiest
and most beloved pupils, Mabel
Dockery, ten years old, youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Abe Dock
cry, who live near the school. She
died during the school hours from q
disease most battling to the physi-
clans called.
Mabel left home Thursday morning
for school in apparently perfect
health, but as she neared the school,
she began to chill and complain of
being cold. When she reached the
schoolhouse, she began to cry and
told her teacher, Mrs. Sallie Anne
Bailey, that she was feeling i'll and
her head was aching. Mrs. Bailey,
who has had course in home nurs-
ing, administered to her and after
waiting few minutes without fav-
vorable reaction, sent two pupils to
Appalachia. three miles away, for a
physician. The physician ordered an
ambulance and the child was removed
to her home, where she died an hour
or two later, never regaining con-
sciouness.
She was buried January 18th in
the old Kilbourne grave yard, in sight
of the little school, in the presence
of the teacher and pupils and large
number of friends and relatives.

The old Indian told how she had
lived on the CattaraguS reservation
with Nancy Bowen at the time the

rode the skies at dusk.
~She made rag dolls and buried
them" said Mrs. Snow. 1T was
