Contempt DroDDed

r Asst Wednesday,, John Moutoux,
IL a reporter for the Knoxville
News-Sentinel, came to Mt. Sterling
to report the trial of William
Hightower for conspiracy to murder,
over which Judge Prewitt is pre-
siding.
Soon after his arrival, he was in
formed by Judge Prewitt not only
that he would be barred from at
tending the trial as representa-
tive of the NewS-Sentinel, but that
he would have to make bond in the
sum Of $1,000 on contempt pro-
ceedings which were about to be
instituted against him, all on &C
count of certain articles which had
appeared in his paper in connection
with the Jones and Burnett trials
some three weeks before.
The contempt proceedings were
dropped, but j. B. Snyder, who
describes himself as an assistant
prosecutor in the Hightower trial,
filed an affidavit charging Moutoux
with making comments derogatory
to the court, which resulted in his
continued exclusion from the court
room and on which hearing was
held Monday night.

Ban STAYS On
MEANWHILE, the Knoxville
lV1 Movie Sa,,+ioeI So,o+ Tocly E,.1,

MEANWHILE, the Knoxville
Iva News-Sentinel sent Jack Bry-
an to Mt. Sterling to take MoutouX's
place as its reporter, but he was
barred from doing so by the court
on Monday morning, with the
declaration that no representative
of the News Sentinel would be al
lowed to sit in the court as long
as that paper maintained its "at-
titude."
1 attended the hearing at Mt.
Sterling Monday night. Apparently,
it was held for two purposes, first,
that Moutoux might show cause
why he should not be barred from
sitting as q representative of the
Knoxville News Sentinel in Judge
Prewitt's court. Second, to deter
mine whether the affidavit filed by
j. B. Snyder and the evidence in
support of it, warranted his being
held in contempt.
No corroborative evidence was
produced in support of the affivadit,
and at the conclusion of the hear
ing, Judge Prewitt made no remarks
regarding the question of contempt,
leaving it to be inferred that moth
ing had developed to show that
Moutoux was guilty of any miscon-
duct whatsoever. He merely reiter-
ated his decision that no represen-
tative of the, Knoxville News-Sen-
tinel would be allowed to sit in his
court.

Sincerity Net Issue

TT is only fair to say that Judge
l. Prewitt indicated complete will
ingness to give the defense a SINH
larry wide latitude. Indeed, got
a distinct impression that the Judge
wanted to be fair, but that he was
firmly convinced that his court in
particular and Kentucky courts in
general had been reflected on by
editorial comments in the News
Sentinel and that such reflections
gave him the right to exclude rep
resentatives Of the Knoxville News
Sentinel.
Judge Prewitt bears an excellent
reputation. He has been on the
bench some twelve years.
His sincerity is not at stake, how
ever. What is at stake is his con-
ception of judicial authority to bar
reporters or representatives of a
newspaper because he considers edi-
torial comment appearing in that
newspaper to be unreasonable, criti-
cal or libeIouS.

at the present time are the Ger
son diet and the HermannSdorfer
Sauerbruch diet. These diets do not
vary greatly one from the other.
Both of them eliminate sodium
chloride or common salt, substitute
ing a calcium salt; both re-
strict meats greatly and water
greatly; both are rich in fat and pro-
TEN, but low in carbohydrates; both
provide for giving much raw food
with cod liver oil, phosphorus and
calcium.
In surveying all available evil
dence for these methods, Mayer con-
cludes that some people react IA
vorably to the withdrawal of table
salt and that some improve on a
larger than normal vitamin intake,
but that it is not safe as a rou-
tine proposition to put all patients
with tuberculosis on a special diet
of such character with the idea
that it will be beneficial to them.
The person with tuberculosis is a
human being, and no two human
beings are exactly alike. Every case
must be studied as an individual and
treated on an individual basis.

MurderOus Cities

Professor Kenneth E. BarnEart of Birmingham
Southern college has conducted survey of thirty
one American cities that reveals the United States
as the worlds most "murderous country"
The homicide rate in 1929 in all these cities was
nineteen times that of England and Wales.
Strangely it is not the metropolitan centers that
lead the list OF the fifteen most raurderous" cities
all but two are in the south, fact explained by
Professor Barnhart due to the gun-totng habits
southernerS and the race problem.
Simple analyses of the cause of Americas MANY
murders are likely to be shallow Gun-toting Jury
trials, delayed and circumvented Justice the elective
judiciary, politics and favortism all play their part
But the deeper causes to lie first in the in

been characterized by large and everincreasng de-

one war in every generation.
Even the people are so afraid of themselves that
they place their most intimate social affairs under
control of laws which they then resent and their

MUCH attention has been given
1V1 during the last two years to
the so-called Gerson and Her.

culosis.
At one time raw meat and meat
juices were advised strongly for this
disease, but at present the evidence
in favor of such a diet does not in

There is some evidence that a
high protein diet increases the
coagulability of the blood. Her.

Milk Proteins

4 MOTHER important discovery
L n of the year was the fact that
the proteins of milk contain an ell
ement which is essential to life.
This element, however, has not YET
been isolated. l-.
The discovery was made by w. G.
Rose and his co-workers at the
University of Illinois. The sum-
mary continues:
Synthetic diets containing all
the twenty known amino acids
stunted the growth of white rats.
The addition of milk casein made
the rats grow normally. A potent
fraction of the milk casein has been.
prepared and its effectiveness
proved.
Investigators at the Toronto
Hospital for Sick Children have
prepared white bread containing
appreciable amounts of vitanins B,
d and E without changing the ap-
pearance or taste of the bread and
at no advance in cost to the con-
sumner.
"A recent news dispatch from
Germany reports that vitanin D.
has been isolated from irradiated
ergosterol by Adolf Windhaus of
Berlin. While infnitesinnal dosages
cure ricketts,, the report says, a
quantity of so milligrams is dan

Free Speech at Stake

If courts could bar the rep
resentatives of one newspaper, on
such ground, it necessarily follows
that they could bar the representa-

If a courts opinion of editorial

UKRAINTAN ARMISTICE

Jan.
ON Jan. 6, 1918, an armistice
~ was effected between the
Ukrainian government and the
Bolshevists after the Ukrainians
had sent the BolshevistS an ulti-
matum telling them to withdraw
their troops.
The opposing factions agreed
to compromise their differences,
but later hostilities broke out
again.
The BoIshevist government had
established a Council of Work
mems and Soldiers delegates in
Ukrainian Rada.
Previous to this the Ukrainians
had sent an ultimatum to the
Bolshevist government refusing
to assist the Bolshevist General
Kaledine.
Negotiations were also opened on
this day between Persia and the
Russians and Turks for the evacua-
ton Of Persia.

Editor Times-Being reader of
your paper, I desire to express my
views on calling a special session of
the legislature. First, I would ask
that we eliminate all road work for
two years and convert gasoline tax
and license fees tax to lowering our
taxes and our debts, and getting
back to normal.
We can't do so as long as we are
wasting as much as we are. They
are figuring on building a concrete
road this spring at large expense
to go through and take the place
of State road so, which is as good
a road as any in the state and
connects with Roads 81 and so at
Mitchell.
I operate three trucks and I ought
to know. To change this road is
waste of money and a detriment to
traffic and 40 to so per cent of last
years taxes paid to date. Now let's
not give all to the roads, but keep
our schools up and taxes down.

Chemical Developments of
Year Include Nonpoisonoua
Illuminating Gas, Film TO
Make Pictures in Dark.
A METHOD of turning illuminate
= ing gas, which is normally poi-
sonous, into a non-poisonous va.
riety by the use of bacteria, was
among the interesting chemical
achievements of 1881.
The new method, which was de-
veloped by Professor Franz Fischer
Of Berlin, is attracting considerable
attention throughout Europe.
1t employs bacteria to convert the
usual mixture Of hydrogen and
carbon monoxide, which composes
ordinary Illuminating gas, into
methane.
Other important advances in the
field of chemistry during the past
year include the development by
the Eastman engineers of a new
and faster Photographic film for
use in the making of talking
movies.
The year 1881 also saw the deveI-
opment of film so sensitive 10
infra-red rays that it was possible
with their aid to make a photo
graph in the dark. (Infra-red 'rays.
which are shorter than the RAYS
of red light, are invisible to the
eye)
AS related in this department
yesterday, the most important
chemical advance of 1881 was the
discovery of the last two chemical
elements, No. 81, known both as
ekacesium and samarskite, and No.
IS, known as eka-iodine.
n
Progress With Insanity
OTHER interesting discoveries Of
- 1881 are listed by Industrial
and Engineering Chemistry, official
journal of the American Chemical
Society, as follows:
Among the interesting confirma-
tions of physical-chemical theory
has been the proof adduced by the
medical profession of the theory
that coagulation of the protein of
the brain is closely bound up with
insanity.
Wilder D. Bancroft of Cornell has
maintained that from physical
chemical point of view insanity is
caused by either a coagulation or a
dispersion of the brain proteins.
ut has been shown clinically
that, in certain instances where the
brain proteins were coagulated, the
administration of sodium thiocya-
nate disperses the coagulum and
cures the disorder.
Coagulative treatments have been
shown to be beneficial where the
insanity is OF a dlSperSe type. Ban
croft's further theory states that an
anesthetization involves coagulation
Of the brain and nerve tissue.
Continual research is develop
ing the fact that metals, even in
minute quantities, are essential to
normal life. During the year Nc
Collum and ORIENT, at Johns Hop
kins university, have determined
that magnesium is essential to the
normal diet.

them died. The presence of magne-
