Adams of Kenton -co lost his fight to kill the Senate bill putting the burial assocations under the Insurance Department and ordering that payments for funerals be made in cash and not in material. Adams, speaking for 40,000 people, who hold burial policies in northern Kentucky, insisted that to compel the payment of cash to the extent of the premium paid would put the burial associations out of business. Adams intimaved that the bill was sponsored by industrial insurance people who wanted to get the burial associations out of the road.
Adams said the burial association people did not object to the regulation features or the deposit with the Insurance Commission securities, but it did object to "the cash payment feature, the only thing which has permitted the companies to continue their existance. While Adams was losing his fight in the Senate. Thomas F.

Dr. W. S. Anderson of the University of Kentucky, Dr. J.
H. Bell of the colony of epileptics of Lexington and Dr. F. B. Lyons of the Feeble-minded Institute at Frankfort, spoke and urged that the bill be passed for the good of tucky and pointed to the fact that two score states had incorporated the law in their statutes and none had abandoned the idea.

It's Soft Picking Here Feather Beds Gathered in Country by Youths Now Under Arrest FALMOUTH, feather March bed--that soft, downy household necessity of a day that is gone--is an article that finds its way to dusty attics in this, the mattress age. What to do with the time-worn striped tick that wooed grandpa and grandma arms of Morpheus is a "problem for the younger generations. Two young men, giving their names as C.
E. Malone and Harold Lacy, both of 12th-st, Cincinnati, came here about a month ago in a battered touring car with a solution to the problem. Their stock in trade consisted of a plan whereby these ancient feather beds could be transformed into beautiful pillows for the boudoir. Pretty things to grace the living room and give it an air of modernity. Housewives Grab Bait And the cost of this service was so cheap that a number of housewives grabbed the bait like a hungry bass in the spring of the year.
The strangers worked the town in a few hours and departed with 12 feather beds an array of pillows, so that "the old touring car looked more like the Graf Zeppelin than an automobile when it departed. Yes, new pillows from dusty feather beds would be returned in a week or two. The dust would be removed and the filler thoroly dry cleaned. Arrested at Georgetown But the boudoir adornments never came. The matter was reported to authorities.
An investigation was made. Result of it was that the two men were arrested at Georgetown, and thrown into jail. They were given 30 days each for attempting to carry off a number of feather beds there. Mrs. S.
N. Beckett of this city, who was one of the losers, swore to a warrant against the men here Tuesday, and the document was served on them in jail: at Georgetown. They told officers that the beds they took at Falmouth were stored at an address on Fifth- -st, Covington. Authorities here are checking up on the story in an effort to locate about $300 worth of feathers taken from unsuspecting Falmouth housewives. Reports from Walton and other northern Kentucky cities state that the two men also worked other towns 1 in this section.

There was no debate. Senator Gates Young handled the bill in the Senate. Senators Adams and Regenstein. both of northern Kentucky, supported the measure. The C.
O. bridge bill, which enables the city of Covington transfer its option to L. B. Wilson and associates for the purpose of operating the bridge until tolls pay off the bonds, was the first bill to reach the floor of the Senate, with the Rules Committee in charge.

COVINGTON POSTMASTER GIVES ROTARIANS DATA ON HANDLING OF MAIL CITY IS THRU WITH DRUNKS FOREVER But It Costs More to Get a Jag in Newport Now LAW GIVES POLICE $5 FEE Offenders to Face Disorderly Conduct Charges bury stated.
County Must Pay No matter how intoxicated a person may be he is not "legally drunk" in Newport. He is disorderly. This ruling was instituted Wednesday by James Fuller, safety commissioner, after Judge Alfred G. Maybury, of Newport Police Court, increased the court costs of a person charged with drunkenness from $3 and $8. Under the law the officer arresting a person on a drunkenness charge is entitled to $5.
Fuller pointed out that the imposition of the additional costs will work undue hardships on the defendants and also create an added expense to the city in cases where the defendant is unable to pay the additional costs and is obliged to serve 10 days in jail in default of the costs. In such a case it will cost the city 40 cents a day to feed the prisoner. Fine Totals $13 In the future all intoxicated persons will be charged with disorderly conduct, Fuller said. Two defendants who faced Judge Maybury Wednesday were charged with disorderly conduct instead of the usual drunkenness charge and were fined $10 and costs, the fine amounting to $13. Efforts are being made by the various county authorities thruout the state before the Legislature to have the provision of the law whereby the arresting officer of a drunken person is entitled to $5 repealed.
Judge Maybury, in explaining the imposition of the additional costs. said he was merely conforming with the law in such cases. "The police make the charge and when the defendant is arraigned before me I wil try on the charge preferred by police," May- Maybury said under the law the county is obliged to pay the officer the $5 costs in the event the defendant is unable to pay it. Newport police contemplate legal action against the county to recover approximately $30,000 alleged to be due them for the arrests of intoxicated persons. The police, thru their attorneys, Raymond L.
Murphy and Charles Ciarlo, plan instituting the suit within the next two weeks. A similar suit was filed in Kentonco by Covington police and a compromise was made by the county.

Two Days Set FRANKFORT, March The sales' tax or chain store bill, as it is known, passed the Kentucky State Senate by a vote of 27-11. Senator Allie Young and Hiram Brock, democratic and Repuolican leaders, alike pleaded for the passage of the bill. The revenue will go toward help for the poor unfortuntes in the state insane asylums, and with this plea and also the plea that any form of taxation is objectionable, proved the motive for passage of the bill. Senator Young stated that the penal and charitable institutions must have help.
He pleaded for the unfortunates, ill of mind, who were not given an opportunity to be cured because of lack room and lack of treatment. Senator Young stated that this was the only bill to be offered which has any likelihood of raising revenue. Cite Crowded Conditions Senator Brock said that the socalled chain stores should be put on the same level with other taxpayers. He cited records to show the conditions of the state institutions. Brock urged the senators to have enough backbone to vote for this revenue producing measure.
He asked that all amendmake the unconstitutional. ments be voted, down so as not to Senators Adams and Regenstein, northern Kentucky, voted for the bill. The House yesterday sent to the senate a bill providing for a statewide registration law to apply to all cities and rural precincts outside the city of Louisville, which has a which the company could not do with the city owning the option. General opinion was in favor of any bridge measure which would help the people of northern Kentucky batter down the toll bridge barrier which has hindered the progress of the northern section of the state. Representative Charles Truesdell of Campbell-co also secured the bill for presentation in the House and it will hold its place on the board until the Senate bill reaches the House, when the substitution will be made.
No opposition is expected to the bill in the House. The two bills guided thru both bodies so that they do flict, as was the case in reference to the police warrant bill, which was passed in both the House and Senate and yet is not a law. Senator Adams secured the passage of the bill sponsored Judge Joseph Goodenough of Covington, while Henry Meiman secured its passage in the House. Both bodies passed separate bills without substituting one for the other and now the House must either repass the bill. One or the other will be done.
Senate bill or the Senate the House The pure food and full weight measure which regulates the advertising of foodstuffs and prescribing penalties falsely advertising such nodities was passed in the Senate without a dissenting voice. The bill is aimed at false and malicious advertising based on short weights.

It was shown an auto can't be operated at 5 cents per mile.

He said the envelopes are sold cheaper than they can be purchased from any local printer. The bill calls for two registration days in July of this year, for the initial registration. These would be the second Monday of the month and the succeeding day. Thereafter there would be only one registration day a year, the second Monday in July. One registration would be good as long as the voter did not change his residence or his name.
Opposition to the proposed law came from rural and particularly from mountain members, who contended the enforced extra trip for the initial registration would work a hardship on many voters residing far from polling places.

BROWN RITES ARE SET Services for Victim of Exposure To Be Conducted Thursday Covington Rotarians at their weekly luncheon Tuesday at the Chamber of Commerce, learned something about the operation of the local postoffice.
