OPPOSING THE KERENs FACTION.
st. Louisans in Washington
After Prospective Patronage.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. April 22.-The anti-Kerens
Republicans. 1t is said. will try to get a
change made in the st. Louis appraisership
now held by Smith, and there Will be sharp
fights against the reappointment OF many
Kerens men now holding presidential post
offices in the State.
The question of Missouri patronage was
anxiously discussed at the White House by
Editor Houser, Representative Joy and
State Senator Rollins. and there was unani-
nous agreement among the three that
Colonel Kerens has had too much In the
past and ought to be disregarded when re-
appointments are made.
The men expect Secretary
Hitchcock to see to 1t that their faction
gets it's innings during the present admin
istration. They will get little solace this
summer, however, for the reason that Re-
publicans, whether Kerens or antt-kerens,
will be retained until Congress meets again,
in order to prevent making first recess ap-
pointments and afterwards senatorial nom
nations to the same Offices.
One reason which has caused the adop-
ton Of this policy. 1t is said. Is the fact
that Colonel Kerens is strong with Re-
publican Senator's. II the Kerens men are
turned down for reappointment, the Ma
tional Committeeman might have the Sen
ate hold up the combinations of the men
superseding them, and in this way cause
a good deal of embarrassment to the adj
m~inistration by forcing 1t to make repeated
appointments to the same Offices.
Where the Kerens men are to be refused
take it better IL permitted to serve a while
after the four years term expires. and
make less fight on the men who succeed
them.

WALLER EDWARDS May
NOT Be CONFIRMED,
Board of Public Improvements Di
vided on Question of Approx
ing His Selection.

When the appointment Of Waller Ed
wards as secretary OF the Board OF Public
improvements comes up Tuesday morning
for approval, It is expected that the vote
will result In a tie, three members accni-
escing in President Phillips's selection and
Ahrce in favor of deferring action until
FNSday.
The Municipal Code directs that the sec
rotary ehall be nominated by the president,
subject to confirmation by the board. Should
President Phillips insist on Mr.. Edwards's
appointment. the rame Of no other candi-
date can be advanced. II the board should
persist in opposing this nomination. ex-
Secretary Foster. whose resignation has
been accepted. will be entitled to draw the
salary for the position.
1t is said that personal luminosity exists
between one member and President Phillips,
and tie statement is openly made in the
City Hall that the official 70 assuming an
antagonistic demeanor toward the Presi-
dent. Much regret il expressed over this
condition, as strife and animus in the board
might interfere with and impede important
legislation At q time when prospects forSre-,
form and Improvement are exceedingly
bright. -
Several members Of the House OF Dele
W We&0
made the rounds OF the City Hall Monday
to ascertain the prospects were to get
positions for friends. Scarcely an official in
the building escaped . visitation. But little
hope was held out to the visitors. The gen.
eral answer was that changes will be eff
fected gradually up to about June l. and
that the only way to got q position would
b by written application.
Assessor o'Brien has given positions to
Geverl OF the clerks recently laid OF by the
Board Of Election Commissioners. Auditor
Dierkes has not yet announced any appoint
ments. Collector Hammer appointed Fred
Kleier to Q clerkship in the street opening

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Paducah. KY. April PA very high river,
II not an 1884 food. Is the fear Of the Lower
Ohio Valley. Certainly a high stage is now
probable. There Is already q good stage
here and more water Is coming. The rise
from now on Is expected to be very rapid,
The vast volume Of water now coming
down is not expected to reach Paducah for
a few days so as to overflow all the river
bottomlands.
Mr.. Charles Conant of Smithland, who
owns Cat Island. in the Ohio between Pa
ducah and Cairo. was In the city Monday,
en- route there. He will have all farming
preparations stopped at once and also make
preparations to get his stock removed to a
place of safety at the proper time.
The same preparations are being made by
all the river bottom farmers In this vicin-
ity. The rains have been very heavy and
general recently in the Ohio Valley. It ia
predicted by local rivermen that the rise
will equal that Of 1884. The indications are
for continued rains which will render the
situation more alarming.
KANSAS TOWNS IN DANGER.

Of being swept away. The river has shifted

FANTASTIC INCIDENTS OF THE
WRECK AND RUIN OF THE FLOOD

Buffalo. N. Y. April 22.-The heavy wind
and snow of Saturday night broke a num-
Der Of skylights in the north conservatory
OF the Horticultural building at the Pan
American Exposition. This damage was
done by the dropping Of quantities Of snow
from the roof of the Graphic Arts building.
Concerning the outdoors floral display,
Architect Ulrich maintains that flowers al
ready budding will not suffer from the
storm.
The greatest menace offered by the con-
ditions OF the ground is the danger of fire.
when 1t would be almost impossible. owing
to the deep mud with which the grounds
are covered. to haul the apparatus to the
fire.
Special fire patrol has been established.
The work most seriously delayed by the
snow was the laying Of asphalt pavements.
The placing Of exhibits will also be de-
layed to some extent because of the deep
mud. which makes the transportation Of
heavy displays in the grounds practically
impossible.

PAROLE LAW is IGNORED.
McElhinney Holds That It
Is Unconstitutional.

Judge John w. McElhinney Of the Clayton
Circuit Court Monday decided that the pa.
role law, passed by the Legislature in 1885,.
was unconstitutional. The decision was rene
Gered in the applications for parole Of Wall
ter Reese and Henry Hines negroes. con-
victed of having robbed the meat market
of Han Bredell in Webster Groves.
Judge McElhinney delivered an oral opin.
ion. He said that the parole law conflicted
with the power delegated to the Governor.
and that, If permitted to stand. would mako
the power Of 4 Circuit Judge greater than
that Of the chief executive of the State
The application was accordingly denied.
