Mr. will II. Farley, Of Paduesh, Elected
One Of the Vice Pres-
dents.
WHAT THE STATE GRoceRS DID

Paducah will in all probability get
the next meeting of the Retail Gro
GERS Association Of the state, Just or
gained in Louisville. The executive
committee will later decide on the
meeting but it is generally believed
that Paducah will get it. Mr.. W. H.
Farley, of the city, made a hard fight
for it, and the Paducah delegation
clearly showed that we are all hustlers
down here, ana the association wants
to 20 where there are hustlors.
The election of officers resulted:
President. II. Button, Louisville.
First Vice PRESIDENT. b. Roger,
Lexington.
secretary-Gooree W. Call, Louis.
Vile
Treasurer-A. J. Fee, Paris.
Mr.. ". H. Farley OF Paducah, was
chosen vice president from the First
congressional district. There is one
from each district.
The first business before the con-
vention was the hearing Of the report
Of the committee on constitution and
bylaws. The report stated that the
association should be known as the
Kentucky Retail 'Grocers Association.
The report Of the committee further
recommended a law similar to that Of
Minnesota, which prohibits the
assignment Of wages to money
sharks the sale Of merchandise in
bulk by bill of sale, with ten days
notice. and the trading stamp and gift
schemes.
The officers Of the state association
were urged to assist in the passage of
a law making 1t misdemeanor tc
punish false statements in advertise.
ments as to the quality, price and
trademarks Of goods.
The parcel post project was de-
nnounoed as a pernioious measure,
calculated to rob the many for the
benefit OF the few. The proposed
postal check note scheme was also con-
demned. The exemption laws Of the
state were condmned as having bank
rupted many of Kentucky's retail gro
GERS.
A resolution recommending har-
monious relations between the jobber
and the retailer was adopted. Il was
asked that the wholesalers through
out the state refrain from selling to
consumers.
A banquet at [the Louisville shotel
last night sended the convention.
President A. J. Ross. Of the Louis
willie Retail Grocers' Association, was
POSTMASTER. The speakers were Judge

that several times when under the in
duence OF liquor. he told what he
knew, and IL finally drove him mad.
One peculiar thing about the death
of young Lyons is that there was
left no note explaining the cause Of
his rash deed, IL it was n deed COM
mitted by his own hand. He had
written before retiring a letter to his
mother in Louisville, telling her
where he was roing from Paducah,
and the missive was perfectly rational,
and revealed no intimation Of suicide.
On the contrary it was evident from
il that he had no intention when he
retired Of taking his own life. He
had an insurance policy. almost new,
which contained a suicide clause, bat
owing to the evidence, which showed
that If it was suicide, the deed was
committed after he had suddenly be-
come insane, the company never con-
tested IT,

him with his own pistol. There is
a hole in the room in which he wal
found dead, a reporter learned today
but it was made by the bullet which
killed MIN.
Whether this story told by Sexton
was merely the Pigment Of a deranged
mind, or the truth, may never be
known, but Mrs, Walker declares that
it is what drove him to suicide.
Mr.. Lyons presence in the city is
bound to arouse interest in the for
gotten tragedy, and it may be that
there will develop something to prove
or disprove the almost incredulous
story told him by the drummer few
days ago, and partially confirmed by
the dead bartender's relatives.

WAS 1T MURDER?
A Forgotten Tragedy in PaduCail Recalled
By Startling Developments.

Mr.. j. o. Lyons OF Louisville is at
the Palmer. His mission here is to
investigate startling story that was
told him a few days ago by a travel
ing man he met in Arkansas City,
Ark. II is his first trip to Paducah,
aud he knew little about the city. but
is here to inquire into the sensational
death Of his cousin, Stanley p. Lyons,
who was found dead in room at the
New Richmond Hotel nearly three
years ago. about noon, one. day in
January.
The young man travelled for a st.
Louis house, and pistol was found
by his side, while a hole in his temple,
with the pools OF clotted blood on the
floor, told the story Of his death more
completely than il could have been
told in words
The verdict Of the coroner's jury
was that the deceased committed sui.
