Lexington, Ky., Nov. 1. With only
about 2.GOO contracts needed to reach
tho goal of 75,000 members set some
time ago by officials of the Hurley To
bacco Growers' Co-operative Associa
tion, directors of the association held
tholr regular monthly meeting in l:x
lngton nt 10 o'clock this morning. ,
Contracts to the number of 8!)0 were
received at the offices of tho field serv
ice division the last two days. Assist
ant Chief William Collins suld yeBter
day, and more are coming in by every
mail.
It was aald to be probable that the
directors will consider at their meet
ing matters growing out of the organi
zation of the American Tobacco Ex
change at Louisville October 24 and
preparations for the Burley Associa
tion's part In the big national confer
ence of co-operative marketing associ
ations to be held In Washington De
cember 14 to 16.
Mr. Collins snld that West Virginia

with vigor, following the statement
that the date for the closing of the
books of the association, November 6,
would not bo extended and that grow

meeting to bo held In the West Vir
cin'a territory.
Tho executive committee was in ses
sion Tuesday In preparation for tho
meeting of the directors today.
Those who still have faith in the
the:' tor as a place where real art may
be made a successful enterprise, will
welcome the forthcoming engagement
of "The Unloved Wife," a new play in
three acts at the Washington theater,
afternoon and night, Monday, Novem
ber 6th. with matinee for ladles only,
and It seems entirely possible that the
rising generation may yet have the op
portunity of b' ccmlng acquainted with
tho better forms of semi-classic dra
matic works. It is a field that has
been altogether neglected in recent
years.
"The Unloved Wife" Is an impress
ive, forcible story that will tighten the
heart strings and capture the Imagina
tion, yet built upon a happening in
real life, a miraculous event that
changed a woman's destiny. It is a
play that bares a woman's soul, and is
a fascinating story depicting the sterl
ing virtues and weaknesses of matt-
kind. It abounds in thrills: is daring
in Its revelations, startling in Its in
tensity, and is presented by an excel
lent caBt of players, who will give the
Mil lest flavor to the lines and situa
tions. The evening performances are for
overj'body over sixteen years of age.

Frankfort. Ky., Oct. 31. In cases
involving violations of the prohibition
laws tho burden of proof Is on the de
fendant to show that the methods by
which search warrants were obtained
wero irregular, provided the warrant
itself is properly made out, the court
of appeals held today in affirming the
finding of the Madison cicuit court
in the case of Curtis Terrell against
the commonwealth. The opinion was
written by Judge W. E. Settle.
Terrell was convicted on a charge of
possessing liquor fcr sale and was
fined $300 and sentenced to 60 days
In jail. His wife was jointly indicted
and tried, but was acquitted. Terrell
contended that the commonwealth
should have proved that the methods
by which the search warrant was ob
tained were Irregular. The court held
that it was the place of the defendant
to prove the warrants were issued on
insufficient grounds.
In the case of Ellis Craft against the
commonwealth. Judge Settle also held
that the authority issuing a search
warrant is the legal custodian of the
warrant and in the event it is lost no
one else is competent to testify as to
Its issuance. In handing down this
pinion Judge Settlo reversed the find
ing of the Floyd circuit court, which
fined Craft $175 and sentenced him to
30 days in jail.
