Supt. Hatfield Thinks Il insufficient
In Scarlet Fever Cases.
HEALTH OF PUPILS DEMANDS IT

supt. O. b. Hatfield, Of the public
schools, desires better fumigation Of
houses In scarlet fever cases. He SAID
this mornig.
4" II has been my contention all along
that the city officials have not properly
fumigated the houses where scarlet
fever has teen. There are many cases
that have come under ray notice that
go TO prove this one fact and have
spoken to the mayor and several other
officials In regard to the matter and
while they agree with me in the mat
ter Of imperfect fumigstion they have
taken no steps TO have IL improved.
The physicians inform mo that the
scarlet fever germ is harder 10 destroy
thsn any other germ In existence and
that unless the house has been thor.
oughly fumieated after the case has
been cured IL will reappear even years
afterwards
The city docs fumigste the houses
where the disease has been but IL does
not do IL thoroughly enough and con-
sequently the fever appears again
There Is some smallpox In the city
but there Is more scarlet fever and
greater precautions have 20 Be taken
60 prevent n spread Of the latter dis.
ease. All childrsn residing in the vi.
cinity Of any such cases are sent home
until the Illness has been cured and
the more cases reported the greater
the number Of pupils will be sent
home. u all the cnrtains and bedding,
etc, is burned and all drAperios torn
down before the fumigation then there
would BE- les. scarlet fever and consc.
quently tho city would suffer less
Thi. would not only Be- a protection
20 the welfare OF tho schools but
would also be a protection to the
city"
supt, Hatfield also stated that in al.
most every new case Of scarlet fever
the cause could be found in the house
which had held the disease before.
lie wishes TO have tho matter Of a
more thorough fumiga,ion placed be-
fore the CITY council and will do 40

Al Tumlin Convicted Of Murder at
eddyyille Yesterday Afternoon.
I1ry Had Been Out for Two Days
He Killed Newt Riley
In Cold Blood.
The yE-o.cT A SURPRISE TO MANY

The jury in the case against Al
Tumlin, at Eddyville, Lyon county,
yesterday afternoon brought in YER
dict about 4 O'Clock, giving the de-
fendant a life sentence in the peniten-
tiary for the murder OF Newt Riley.
IL had had the case since Saturday
morning and the disagreement WAS
whether to give him the death penalty
or life Imprisonment
The case was one OF the most inter.
esting in the history Of Lyon county.
Tumlin was employed by the Illinois
Central, and is a middle aged man
with family who had always stood
high in the community. A few months
ago he and young Newt Riley, a
youth about 20 years old who often
visited in Paducah, and had many
friends here, attended a baseball game,
and Tumlin became enraged because
the young man was joking him, aud
calling'h him the superintendent OF
the Illinois Central"
They finally made up, after an al
tercation, and shook hands. II was
thought the trouble was over, bat that
evening Tumlin appeared in a drug
store where young Riley was sitting,
and began shooting him. He fired sew
eral shots into him, killing him al
most Instantly.
He escaped, but a posse was soon
after him, and the whole country was
aroused. lie was captured a few days
later and had since been in Jail.
Il seems that the majority of people
thought he would he sentenced to
hang, as the murder was without the
slightest provocatiou.

sition-SenatOr Tillman There,
He Challenged lis Enemy 70 Resign on
TIE Spot, But Was Not
Taken u.
MUST WASH LINEN At HOME

Washington, Dec. l0.-The senate
chamber was the scene of highly
dramatic episode yesterday afternoon
when Senator Tillman Of South Caro-
lima, challenged his colleague, Senator
McLaurin, to resign with him ON the
spot in order, to use his own language,
that they might be able"to wash their
dirty linen at home" Mr.. McLaurin
did not take mp the gage.
The incident was 1.-The direct sequel
Of the bitter controversy which arose
between the senators in South Carroll
ma last spring. Mr. McLaurin arose
to a question Of personal privilege and
proceeded to explain what he charged
was a conspiracy to disoredit him in
his own state for acts and views
which did not meet the approval Of
certain Democratic leaders. 10 fe-
clared that he was being hum -. f-'
and according to public prints vss FOO
ne excluded from the Democratic eau
Gus because he had acted upon certain
public issues in a way which he
considered for the best interests Of the
country and Of tho people Of his state
He announced himself a believer in
the old Democracy, aud after denounc-
ing the new Democracy leaders who,
he said, had brought destruction upon
the party, declared that the could not
be driven from his old allegiance into
a party with which he did not care to
affiliate.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, de-
MED that he had any "ulterior
motives" in not inviting Mr.. Nc
Laurin to enter the caucus Mr.. Till
man reviewed the whole controversy.
Mr.. Hoar took occasion to express the
opinion that it was very doubtfnl
whether both the South Carolina
seats in the senate were not in reality
vacant He contended that when the
designations were offered last spring

withdrawn thereafter, having become
Immediately operative. The climax
came when Senaor Tillman chal-
enged Mr. McLaurin TO join with him
in preparing their joint designations

officer Of the senate This challenge

IMPORTANT
QUESTIONS
Effort May Be Made to Keep Padu-
cab Out Of Second Class.
The Library Matter Not 10 Be Touched
lust Uncertain
About IT,
FORMER COUNCILS ACTION HAsTY

There are two important matters
that the new city council is to take
hold Of, but rather reluctantly and
cautiously. One IL the change Of Pa
ducsh from the third to the second
class. II the cost after making the
change would prove too much, vigor-
ous opposition will develop to the
change.
This Is the significance OF the reso-
luton introduced In the council last
night relative to the oity's financial
condition, and the cost Of government
under the second class. II Is well
known to tho members Of the council
that the city will encounter difficulty
In paying tho expenses during the
nextsix months. and equally as well
known that IL the city goes into the
second Glars, II IL not known
how she will provide money for ex.
ponses during tho six months from
June until January.
Today letters were written by the
chairman of the committee, Council.
man Reed, asking for copies Of the
laws, OF the necessary expenses Of on.
GERS and such things, under the second
class. Ee wrote TO the mayors Of the
three second class cities IN Kentucky
aud expects to receive replies before
the next meeting Of the city council.
II is not yet known In what shape
the public library question will como
up In next Mayor Yeiscr this morn
ing stated that he was willing FOR
Mayor Lang's administration 10 have
all the credit for the library. but that
he thought the oounoil had been too
hasty.
II seems to BE- the disposition Of the
present council 90 wait until the city
goes into the second class and the II.
brary will then b. governed by pro.
visions Of the charter, now embodied
in an ordinance passed recently and
which will be useless under the second
class cbarter.

comes mp in the council Ii is

tive, 10 reconsider This none OF

do is 20 ignore entircly the action of
tho former council, as il made no

when the ss5, 600 is received from Mr..

Washington, Oct. 10--A Eeport by
Lieut.. Bertholf, OF the revenue cutter,
service, upon the Importation of ST.
berian reindeer INTO Alaska, received
yesterday at the interior department.,
discloses remarkable mortality among
the animals during the voyage. The
deer were taken to Alaska in the Rus.
sian ship Progress" which landed at
the Teller Reindeer station, Alaska,
on August 2s. nine days out from Si-
IBERIA. OF the 425 deer taken on board
only 254 we're landed alive. Ljeut.,
Bertholf aseribes the heavy loss TO
the bruising of the animals by being
constantly thrown down by the ac-
tion of the ship, which encountered
several severe gales. The Laplanders
say the deer were starved, although
there was plenty of moss aboard, but
the troughs were too high from the
deck, The deer have been appOr-
toned among the already established
herds. One herd has been set apart
from the Quaker mission at Kotzebue.
The report added tha. there has been
no summer in northern Alaska and
that snow began falling on August %.
