Lexington, Ky., Oct. 23. A now
modornly equipped .Incinerating plant,
costUig approximately $20,000, with
probably a piggery attached, to take
tho place of the present city crematory
uhlch has become old and dilapidated
through years of use and too small
longer to render efficient service Is the
latest municipal Improvement pro
posed for the city of Lexington, and an
option has ben closed by the city conv
mlssioncrs for the purchase of a 12'
acre tract of land on the old Frank'
fort pike, adjoining tho city Jail farm,
as a site for the new garbage disposal
plant In connection with tho project
it Is also tho plan of the city fathers
for the city to collect Its own garbage
after tho expiration of the present ar
rangements, Instead of farming out
the Job by contract, as has been the
custom for a number of years.
A conference of Mayor Bradley and
tho city commissioners was held Mon
day morning, at which the plan was
fully discussed, and at which It was
decided to purchaso from peorgo Os
borno and wife the tract of land com
prising twelve acres on tho north side
of tho old Frankfort pike, Just west of
the proporty of the Great Southern Re
fining Compnny and Joining the city
Jail farm on the east, ns a suitable Bite
for the proposed plant.
Several days ago an option was se
cured on this tract, which, because of
Its proximity to the city Jail farm and
Its general availability, Is regarded by
tho city commissioners as a most do-
sirablo location for tho purpose for
which It Is desired. Commissioner
Wood O. Dunlay, who Is custodian of
all public property owned by tho city
was directed to go ahead and close the
option, which Is taken to mean that
the project which has been In con
templation for some time by Mayor
nrodloy and the city commissioners, Is
a "60."

Kansas City, Mo., Oct! 23. A Jury In
Criminal Court here acquitted Marie
F. "Peggy" Bonl, formerly of Dayton,
Ohio, tonight of the murder of Frank
W. Anderson, her "perfect lover," here
last summer. Tho Jury deliberated two
hours.
Prisoners In the county Jail adjoin
ing the courtroom Joined the applause
Incited by the announcement of the
acquittal. The room wes crowded de
spite the late hour.
Tho trial started this morning. Few
witnesses wero examined nnd the tes
timony was short.
When questioned concerning tho
fatal shooting, which occurred on June
In a hotel room where Mrs. Beal
asserted Anderson had lured her by
promises of marriage, though he was
already married, Mrs. Beal wept with
her face In her hands.
I came here from Springfield, 111..
to marry Warren," she testified. "He
told me that he could not marry me,
so I shot him." '
Mrs. Beal slew the man she loved
when she realized that she was about
to loso him, Anthony Nugent, an as
slstant County Prosecutor, said In his
closing argument. He held she re
ceived Inspiration for her crime from
a book named "Thuvla, Maid of Mara,"
which was found In her room after she
had fired the fatal shot and attempted
to take her own life.
Tho defense contended that Mrs.
Real was the victim of a "professional
lovo pirate" and held that she was
temporarily Insane.
As Judgo Ralph S. Latshaw read the
verdict Mrs. Beal leaped to her feet,
evincing animation for tho first time
during the rial. Sho turned to the
jurymen, thanking them.
Now I am going to stay in Kensas
City," sho exclaimed, "and make good.
I'm going to send for my little boys In
Torre Haute and make them a good
homo."
M.-s. Beal. 32 years old; a divorcee,

WE
CLARVOYANT
One of the most interesting figures
In the motion picture world is Rupert
Hughes. He has proved that the "one
man" picture not only is a possibility
but a distinct outstanding success. He
also has Bhown that the public doesn't
have to be captivated by vampires, or
ogled with eternal triangles to put the
seal of approval on a screen drama.
When Mr. Hughes first went to the
Goldwyn studio on the west coast and
began a practical first hand study of
tho screen it generally was taken for
grautod that his would be the way of
other authors who have made the
same experiment. Then came word
that he was writing his own contin
uities, or the working script from
which the pictures are photographed.
Then he assisted in direction and
wrote his own titles. Now in his lat
est pictures, Including "Remem
brance," a Goldwyn production, com
ing to the Washington theater begin
ning Thursday, he is responsible for
the entire production the original
story, tho continuity, the direction, the
cutting and the titling.
As in his "The Old Nest," Mr.
Hughes In "Remembrance" bus trans
lated a typical American family prob
lem to the screen. In the first picture
he bullded on mother love. The father
is the central figure In his later ef'
fort.
There is no doubt that whatever else
may be said, a picture by Rupert
Hughes la always distinctly and em
phatlcally Hughes. It bears the im
print of bis Individuality as plainly as
do his novels and short stories. In
this respect, If no other, It might be
safe to say that Hughes Is unique
There Is no one like him in motion pic
tures.
