ROYSE SAWED HIS
WAY TO FREEDOM
AT FLEMING JAIL
i
Aged Prisoner Saws Through Jail
Hart and Escapes Without Other
Prisoners Hearing Him at
work.
The Fleming aa.otto tolls this Btory
ot the escape of Richmond Hoyse from
the Flonilngsburg jail:
A neat piece of Jail breaking was
done at Flcmtngsburg last Friday
flight when Richmond Hoyse sawed
through two sets of Btcol Jail bars and
escaped. Nothing has slnco been heard
of hliu, and nothing was known of his
escape uutil Saturday morning whon
Jailor McHoberts found two bars of a
cell and two bars In a window sawed
off and a rope made of blankets dang
ling from a window over the roof of
a shed on the east of tho Jail building.
Hoyse was gone.
A small bottle with a string to It and
a loose saw blade was loft behind, in
dicating that tho Btrlng with bottle
on its end had been used to draw up
a saw through tho window bars from
the outside. This would also Indicate
that Hoyse, had assistance from some
one on the outside of the jail.
The other Jail prisoners claim they
heard no noiso.
Royso's cell was about throe feet
from an opon window, through which
It Is supposed he rocelved the saw.
Two bars were cut from tho cell and
two from the window.'
Royse waa awaiting to answer nura
erous charges of whisky law viola
tions and owing to previous convic
tions was eligible to a penitentiary
sentence. As an alleged boot logger
and all round bad, man he has given
troublo to the officials. Ills home Is
east of riummers Landing, where for
a good while ho avoided arrest.
The cell from which Royse escaped
Is the same from which Ed. Glenson
sawed some years ago.
GOOD HEALTH WEEK
IS BEING OBSERVED
Modern Flans For Safeguarding the
Public Will Be Stressed All
Orer Country.
During the week of October 23 to
30, the national "Good Health" move
ment will be actively promoted. Mod
ern developments in sanitation, ventil
ation and personal hygleno will be
brought prominently to the public's
attention. Foremost among means of
sanitation and hygiene is the modern,
scientifically designed water closet,
and today's methods of safe disposal
of domestlo sewage.
Fortunately the number of city
dwellings without water closets Is fast
diminishing. Yet, too many homes.
othcrwlso refined to a nicety, remain
dependent upon plumbing fixtures
which are behind the march of prog'
rcss from ten to twenty years.
The unmistakable noises from an
old-fashioned wator clOHet have em
barrassed more than one hostess
time and again. Probably no more em
barrassing situation ever occurs than
this, which has only one remedy get
rid of the nuisance.
Although the embarrassment caused
by an ancient, noisy closet Is sufficient
reason for Installing modern, silent
fixtures, thero are other reasons far
more important, which directly affect
health. Most of these old fixtures are
really Insanitary to a perilous degree.
I'nloss plumbing equipment, through
out tho home, Is safely sanitary, ac
cording to the best knowledge of today,
It Is an investment In future health to
effect replacement as quickly as possible.

SCHOOL BCAliD LEVY
UPHELD BY STATE
CCURTJF APPEALS
When Board of Education Asks for
Certain Tax Levy for School Pur.
poses rkcal Court Must Hake
That Levy, Says Court.
Frankfort, Ky.-. O . t. 24. The fiscal
court of a coui-ty cannot refuse to
make a tax levy for the maintenance
of Its common school when the levy Is
demanded by the county board of edu
cation accompanied by a budget con
taining the information and estimated
needs of the schools as required by a
school act of 1920, providing for ad
valorem and captitalization taxes.
This opinion was handed down to
day by the court of appeals in affirm
ing tho judgment of tho Jefferson cir
cuit court in the case of the fiscal
court of Jefferson county against the
Jefferson county board ot education.
In 1921 tho board of education of
Jefferson county submitted its budget
to the fiscal court of the county with
the recommendation that a 60-cent ad
valorem tax and il capitation tax
be mado to meet tho needs of the coun
ty common schools for the succeeding
year. The fiscal court mado the ad
valorem tax, but declined to levty the
capitation taxi, and as a result the
board of education secured a writ
of mandamus to compel the fiscal court
to levy the capitation tax.
"A board of education," the appel
late court said, "is the sole judge of
tho needs of the schools and when it
submits to the fiscal court the detailed
budget required by the act of 1920 that
court has no discretion in the matter,
but must make the levy demanded by
the board, provided it is within the
constitutional and statutory limits.
That in the opinion of the fiscal court
the demands of the board of education
are excessive or exorbitant, is not
sufficient to justify a'refuBal to make
the levy."
Mrs. Chas. Hopper, Jr. returned
home Tuesday after several days visit

Mr. Thomas Plummer, aged 42, and

ture for both parties.
