Gambling, the carrying of concealed weapons, the liquor traffic and perjury came in for special attention in Judge Stoll's charge to the grand jury, which follows in full: Charge to Grand Jury "Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: 'A circuit Judge in Kentucky in criminal cases has little power. His duties are circ*mscribed by law. In the actual trial of a criminal case it is his duty to see that the trial is conducted according to law.
In the enforcement of law a judge can instruct a grand jury--and four times a year we have grand juries in this court -and I have a right under tne law to talk to you as investigations that you should make to comment upon the general condition that exists in our community, but I can express no opinion on any particular case. cannot properly say to you indict John Doe--I believe he is guilty. I can convict no one- matter how guilty I think he may be. I cannot intimate to a jury in any way whether I think a person is guilty--no matter what may think. "There are many persons in every community who think a circuit Judge can convict a person of crime, but they are wrong.
The judge can only in the trial of a case see that the scales of justice are evenly balanced; see that every one gets a fair trial under the matter what his condition or station in law---no no matter who he may be no life. The law has thrown around those accused of crime many protections, and it has hedged the Commonwealth around with many difficulties; or, to put it another way, "is the trial of one accused of crime he entitled under the law to the best of it, while the Commonwealth gets the worst of it. This is the law and has been the law since our country has been settled, and these principles have become imbedded our jurisprudence as one of the foundation stones of liberty. "In some States the federal court the judge, in his charge toy a jury, which is made after argument counsel, can comment on evidence and on its weight, as well as upon arguments of counsel, but the people of Kentucky, in their wisdom, have given to a circuit judge no such power. He can say nothing; he can do nothing, except rule on questions of evidence and state to the petit juries abstract propositions of law.
If there is a miscarriage of justice it is not his fault, for he is not responsible- he cannot prevent it; neither can the Commonwealth Attorney. The power convict lies solely in the petit juries, and they are sworn to try cases according to the evidence submitted to them. When a crime is committed many rumors are put in circulation, but under our law no one can be convicted on rumors. The only evidence that the jury can consider 1s legal evidence presented to it in a legal and proper way. The experience of the American people is that in the long-run this 1s the best for the liberties of the people.
If this were not 60 the law would be changed, for this 1s a government of the people, and a majority of the people can make whatever laws they see fit to make. The rule is otherwise in continental Europe, where the procedure is under Code of Napoleon or codes patterned after it, but our citizens prefer the law cf America, which was made by the people, to the law of Europe, whica was made by kings and emperors.

LEXINGTON MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 28, 1927 Col. George W. Bain Passes COLONEL BAIN Colonel George W. Bain, internationally known temperance worker and described as "the man who had done more than any other man in the United States for the temperance cause," was born in Lexington Sept. 24, 1840, the son of George W.
and Jane E. Bain. He received his early education in the schools of this city. While living in Richmond, in 1868 he first became interested in the question of temperance, whose cause he expounded with remarkable success for more than half a century. An orator of eloquence and Colonel Bain for more than half a century devoted his life and efforts toward KIDNAPED BABY AT HOME AGAIN Virginia Frazier Only Partially Clothed and Dirty, But Apparently Unhurt; $3,333 Ransom Paid.
CHATTANOOGA, March 28 (AP) -Virginia Josephine Frazier, two-yearold daughter of Acting Mayor and Mrs. Fred B. Frazier, was left on the front porch of minister's home Sunday night dirty and only partially clothed, but apparently unhurt, after being held four days by kidnapers, Frazier had paid a ransom of $3,333 earlier in the evening. Mrs. John Venable, wife of the pastor of the First Presbyterian church, found the baby when she answered the doorbell.
Her husband immediately communicated with Mr. and Mrs. Frazier, a physician and the police and the reunion was quickly effected. A drug the kidnapers administered to the baby in small quantities caused drowsiness but in a few hours the effect had worn off. A physician said i there was nothing to fear.
The Fraziers were out of the city last Wednesday when the baby disappeared. A nurse maid observed early Thursday that the child had not called her. She peeped into the room and saw an empty crib. Only the baby's shoes and few little garments were there. policeman in the city, private detectives and many citizens began an organized search to no avail.
Hundreds of stories were investigated while the father and mother waited for some word. Not until the baby was found did the parents make known the true situation.

He joined the Good Templar lodge while at Richmond and (Continued on Page Two) NO U. S. COURT IN JUNE, REPORT Criminal Term Scheduled Here Will Not Be Held Due to the Lack of Funds to Pay Jurors, Witnesses.
practical suspension of federal court artivities because of lack of funds to pay jurors and witnesses has resulted from the failure of Congress to pass the deficiency appropriation and as a consequence no criminal term will be held here in June, according to a message received in the clerk's office this morning. No grand jury will be impanelled and no petit jurors or witnesses will be summoned, according to a letter from John W. Menzies, of Covington, U. S. District court clerk, addressed to Deputy Clerk Spencer L.
Finnell. While the letter did not say so, it is supposed that defendants who wish to enter guilty pleas will be allowed to do sO, since they can be sentenced by the judge, without Jurors or witnesses being present. Officers here who expected to attend federal court terms at Covington and Richmond have been notified not to appear. The failure to hold court will work a hardship on many accused persons held in jail to await trial, it is feared." The Lexington term was scheduled to start June 13. DR.
J. C. VANNETER BEGINS DUTIES AS CITY PHYSICIAN Dr. J. Clyde Vanneter, who was selected city physician of Lexington, to succeed the late Dr.
Eugene F. Beard, at a special meeting of the City Board of Health Friday afternoon, assumed his new duties today, according to announcement made by Dr. Charles H. city health officer. Since the appointment of Doctor Vanneter has been agreed on by Mayor Yancey and the city commissioners, his confirmation is a mere matter of form and will probably be acted on at the regular meeting of the Board of City Commisstoners, as soon as Mayor Yancey returns from Florida.
Doctor Vanneter is a graduate of the College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, class of 1924, and shortly afterward located in this city for the practice of his profession. W. D. Upshaw Says Task Of Church Is Old-Time Religion The Felix Memorial Baptist church, at the corner of Fifth and Maple streets, was dedicated in services day afternoon in which Former Congressman W. D.
Upshaw, of Georgia, took a leading part, and in the presence of a congregation that taxed the capacity of the big, new auditorium. Mr. Upshaw, chief speaker in dedication ceremony, declared at the opening of his address, "This temple of worship, erected to the glory of God, and linked as a fit memorial to the deathless life and labors of your former leader and First Baptist pastor, Dr. J. S.
Felix, is a glorious expression and stands here in silent, sacred eloquence to testify to the immortal truth of our conquering Christianity. "It is a memorial to the wise leadership of your pastor, William M. Nevins, who, like me, hasn't any better sense than to believe in the Bible from 'kivver to The title the speaker's address was "Taking Stock in Old-Time Religion." He prefaced his speech with a tribate to the preacher whom he called "the pack horse of the most unselfish citizen the world LEADER M'AD0O, BARKLEY UPSHAW'S IDEA DEMOCRAT TICKET Says Kentucky Senator Is 'Grandly on Way' to Place in Presidential Race; Says Third Party Likely If Other Ignore Prohibition. Politics, prohibition, religion and evolution came in for brisk and pungent comment this morning when former Congressman W. D.
Upshaw, of Georgia, took time to answer queries put to him by a reporter from The Lexington Leader. The strongest possible national Dem- ocratic ticket? McAdoo and Mr. Upshaw responded instantly, adding that Barkley is "grandly on his way to a place on the ticket." The nomination of Al Smith for the presidency would be calamity, as Mr. Upshaw sees it. The time has come, he said, for the major parties to declare themselves specifically with reference to prohibition.
The people are tired of "glittering generalities and elusive innuendos" in regard to law enforcement. Hence, Mr. Upshaw thinks, the party which fails to endorse prohibition in the next elections will not place its man in the White House. If both parties ignore the prohibition issue? Then, the former Congressman says, there is a possibility of a third party, having as its main plank enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, aud with other "progressive" planks. However, Mr.
Upshaw does not regard the formation of this third party as probable or necessary. The prohibition party, in the days before the Eighteenth Amendment, never got far save in so far as it exerted pressure on major parties, he explained, and the cause of prohibition will perhaps most rapidly thru the regular channels. Mr. Upshaw is a believer in the Bible, literally and for word, and the regards the teaching of evolution the schools as destructive of faith and progress. Asked if he did not think that absence of this subject from curriculums would interfere seriously with the teaching of such subjects as anatonomy, psychology, zoology and 80- he answered that he had no objection to instruction in evolution theory.
His protest came, he said, from teaching of evolution as a fact. To Lecture Tonight Mr. Upshaw will deliver his noted lecture, "Scattering Sunshine, or How to be Happy When You Ain't," at the Felix Memorial Baptist church at Fifth and Maple streets at 7:30 o'clock tonight. No admission will be charged and everyone is invited. ADDRESSES PUPILS AT MORTON JUNIOR SCHOOL "This is the thought I want to leave with you boys and girls.
If one Georgia boy could dream his dreams and build his castles in the sky--if he could stay in bed seven years amid the wreck of his hopes and plans and never be discouraged- he could keep the song cf hope in his heart and his star in the sky--if he could get up and work his way thru college at 31 and then land in Congress with clean political hands, representing a great city like Atlanta, then you Kentucky boys and girls with strong arms and strong backs and strong purposes can do anything on earth that God wants you to do." Thus did W. D. Upshaw, former Congressman from Georgia, conclude a talk this morning before the students of Morton Junior high school. He had reference to his own life, seven years of which was spent in bed following a fall he sustained in childhood. The speaker gave the students two mottos, which he had them repeat: "Let nothing discourage "Never give up." And, "I won't quit school till I get thru." Mr.
Upshaw was introduced by Dr. W. M. Nevins, pastor of the Felix Memorial Baptist church, who was presented by Miss Mary L. Hunt, principal.
Previous to the address, Margaret Foster, a student at Morton Junior, gave scriptural readings.

The leaders of today, says Doctor failed to interpret Christiana Christianity and present Christ to the world "so as to answer the challenge of death." Doctor Pitzer took his text from 1 Cor. last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."

Washington Grateful That British Have Large Force There; American Naval Commanders Given Unqualified Orders to 'Cooperate With English. U.
S. NO LONGER CAN PLAY LONE HAND IN FAR EAST, IS VIEW BY DAVID LAWRENCE. (Copyright, Lexington Leader) WASHINGTON, March else may develop from the present crisis in China, the joint bombardment at Nanking by American and British naval forces means the end of the attempt of the United States to piay a lone hand in the far east. Due to the fact that British investments are many times larger than those of American citizens, the Washington government has been inclined to feel that the sending of the he large British force in January was a policy which made it difficult for the United States to cooperate. Had the British sent a small force there would have been no embarrassment in Joining with the British.
THE LOOTING of Nanking and attacks on American citizens, however, forced the hand of the American government and today Washington is grateful that the British have a large force on hand to assist in protecting the Americans. The orders given to the American naval commanders to cooperate with the British forces now are unqualified. It is no longer a diplomatic policy but a military problem and in this navy department has been given a free hand. For some time in the conversations between Great Britain and the United States the fear has been expressed that the presence of a large military force might provoke (Continued on Page Six) FIRE LOSS $5,000 SCALE OFFICE OF STOCK YARDS AT WINCHESTER HIT BY BLAZE -BOYS PLAYING WITH MATCHES THOUGHT TO HAVE STARTED IT.

WINCHESTER, March starting in the scale office caused damage estimated at $5,000 to three buildings of the Hodgkin Stock Yards here this morning. The fire, thought to have been started when small boys playing in the scale office struck matches, was discovered by H. M. Herndon, manager of the stock yards at 9 o'clock. Mr.
Herndon said when he discovered the fire that it was small and he could have extinguished it with the office fire extinguisher, but that the apparatus failed to operate and that before the fire department artived the blaze had gained such headway that it burned until noon. After gaining headway in the scale office, the blaze spread to a mule barn and a shed which practically destroyed. Live stock which was in the mule barn when the fire was started, was removed before the blaze reached the barn. A small amount of hay which was in the barn was lost. The Hodgkin Stock Yards, formerly known as the Martin-Hodgkin Supply are owned and operated by John William Hodgkin, who said that the loss was partly covered by insurance.
The fire will not interfere with sales at the yards and Pendleton Trimble, manager of sales, stated that the sale this week will be held as usual.

Williams, commanding the Asiatic forces, is concentrating all ships possible off Shanghai. In the meantime all Americans in the interior of Funkien province have been ordered to concentrate at Amoy against possible anti-foreign disorders. Reinforcement of the American units ashore at Shanghai after a general labor union had demanded that barricades surrounding the international settlement be removed and that striking public utilities workers be reinstated. Refusal of the municipal council to meet these demands brought forth threat of another general strike and "agitators" were preparing a demonstration, Admiral Williams advised. Shangbai, besides being one of the chief centers of American interests in the orient, has become the refuge for Americans and other foreigners fleeing from the interior.
Cantonese Attack Premeditated That the Cantonese attack at Nanking was premeditated and was by officials familiar with foreign interests in the city, is the belief of refugees. A statement drafted by authorized representatives says the attack was obviously under official control and directed against all foreigners, irrespective of nationality. Among those on the destroyer were Miss Anna Moffett, of Fort Sheridan, who was shot by the Cantonese soldiers, and E. T.
