Chairman Mott Ayers Settles the
Dispute as to Craftsmanship,
Mr. Charles Emery Secures the Ballots
and the Money to Pay
Officers.
LIST WILL Be READY WEDNESDAY

Chairman Mott Ayers OF Fulton,
chairman of the Democratic congress
sionsl committee, was in the city yes
terday afternoon and held a conference
with Mr.. Charles Emery, who for
several months past has claimed to be
chairman of the McCracken comfy
Democratic committee. Mr.. Frank
Digel also claims the Craftsmanship,
and there have been some exciting
times over the contest.
Chairman Ayers, in the congress
sional committee meeting held here a
few weeks ago, recognized Mr.. Emery
as the chairman in McCracken, and
later at the meeting OF the appellate
committee left it to the committee
which to recognize, and both Mr..
Emery and Mr.. Digel were allowed to
represent the county. II was agreed,
however, that the two claimants
should afterwards meet and settle the
dispute by both resigning and allow.
ing some one else to be elected, but
Mr.. Digei changed his mind subse-
quently and declined to resign, or to
take any steps to settle the dispute.
Chairpan Ayers has now settled the
dispute. He yesterday turned over to
Mr.. Emery the ballots that are to be
used in this county at the congression-
al primary May "a, and gave him q
check for sls9, which Is to pay of
the election officers who serve at the
primary.
II is understood Mr.. Digel will
appoint a set of officers, but If he
does, they will receive no pay, and
will have no ballots to use in the
primary.
Judge Emery states he will have
his list Of officers made out by We'd
nesday.

is VERY AUSPICIOUS
English Stock Opened at the Ken
lucky Last Evening.
The Comedy "A Savage From Japan"
Well Presented to an Appreci-
alive Crowd.
NEWS OF THE AMUSEMENT WORLD

The English Stock company opened
to fairly large audience last night
at The Kentucky, and judging from
the favor with which it was received,
will at once make hit in Psducah.
Despite other attractions the audi
ence was there, and the universal
verdict was that the performance was
first class. The company adequately
sustained the reputation for first class
work which Manager English had
given it,
"A Savage From Japan" was pre-
sented last night. 1t went smoothly
enough, although it was the first per-
Torrance, and the people were greatly
pleased at the excellence of the cast.
They found an artist in every role,
something that isn't often met in a
stock company playing at popular
prices.
"A Savage From Japan" is a soci-
ETY. comedy drama, and the setting
for the FIRST act was undoubtedly the
finest ever seen on the local stage.
The apartments represented had over
81, 800 worth of furniture and bric.a.
brao visible, and the effect was so
pleasing thas the audience spontane-
ously burst into applause when it
caught its first view Of it.
Mr.. True S. James in the title role
had the most difficult part to play and
did IL well Mr.. James is a polished
actor whom it is pleasure to see.
Miss Frsnklyn Gale in the leading
female role did clever work, and is
destined to become very popular. She
is beautiful woman, who thoroughly
understands her work, and does it
with that grace and abandon that con-
tribute SO much to ones pleasure in
witnessing performance.
She is ably supported by Miss JUS
tina Wayne and Miss May Stockton.
The former, Miss Wayne, had diff
cult part, but she played it we'll, and
won the applause to which she was
fully entitled. Her wardrobe is IN
usually fine, and Miss Wayne has q
splendid stage presence.
Miss Stockton has a small part in
"A Savage From Japan" but she
Immediately impresses one with her
ability, and her acting last night
proves that she is capable of playing
more difficult parts, which she will
doubtless demonstrate later in the
season. She combines with pretty
face and graceful form, that captivat-
ing presence that never fails to mskes
pleasing impression ON an audience.
Miss Louise Henry had an unim-
portsnt part, but creditably read her
lines and between the acts rendered
songs aud dances that pleased every
body.
Miss Frances Field, the character
woman, did good work, and Mr.. An
drew Forsythe, as the baron, made .
good impression and also did fine
work. In fact he is one of the best in
the company.
Mr.. Fredt rick Seaton in character
work, shows his wide experience.
and would appear to advantage any
where. Mr.. VIM. Grigg, in the
juveniles, and Leo Florence in light
work gave satisfaction and introduced
between the second and taird acts
several pleasing sIeoislties in the way
of songs and dances.
The performance naturally in some
parts did not go as well last night as
it will when the company becomes

Sanders and Mrs. Lyle Win.
Thousands Witness the Magnlficenily
Decorated Vehicles as They
Pass,
is ATTRACTING BIG CROWD

Tho Elks second annual carnival
had an auspicious opening last night
The parade at 5 80 was most credit
able one, and was witnessed by thous-
ands of people. The weather was
pleasant and the crowds turned out in
greater numbers than ever known
before.
The browning OF the queen, Miss
Anna Boswell. was pretty cere.
mony. There was vast crowd pres
emit and at ;i5 the procession, led by
the band and Knights of Haoudsp,
arrived ut the grounds and the ooro-
nation took place on the platform
erected near the entrance. Miss Bos-
well, the queen, looked unusually
BEAUTIFUL, and her maids of honor,
and gallant escort, Mr.. Wallace We'll,
made pretty picture. Those ON the
platform were: Misses Elizabeth
sinpott and Marjorie Crumbaugh.
Paducah; Miss Halle Norman, May
fed; Miss Bessie Alvey, Henderson;
Miss Arnie James, Evansville;
Miss Bertha Farmer, Fulton. Messrs.
James Campbell, Clarence o. Brown,
Dow Wilcox, Thomas b. Harrison,
Edwin Paxton, Wallace We'll.
After the coronation by Mayor II.
A. Yeiser, and an address Of welcome,
the party left and the grounds were
thronged by the public until mid
night.
The country store WAS one Of the
principal attractions, and many pat
rons drew fine prizes, The rush was
so great that the customers could
hardly be waited on.
A number of the shows were not
ready, owing to their late arrival,
but today are running in full swing,
and receiving q liberal patronage.
They offer high class of entertain
ment, and will get q great patronage
from the people.
Last night there were over FIVE
thousand paid admissions to the
grounds and the Elks ere much graft
fed over the rush.
Today the cars have done an i'm.
mense business all over the city, and
there are thousands of visitors in the
city. Every train and every boat
brought scores of them, and Others
will arrive tonight and tomorrow. II
Is thought the crowd Is the largest
ever known in Psduosh.
Last night at the carnival grounds a
man attempted to snatch pooketbook
away from woman but she was too
quick for him and fought for several
minutes. The would.be robber ran
when he had broken away and the
officers were unable to locate him.
The womsn's name could not be Sc
cured by the officers.
The flower parade this forenoon was
an hour late in starting, but was
viewed BY thousands of people along
the line of march. The people did
not become very impatient, end most
of all of them remained until the
procession passed.
1t started at Fifth and jefferson
and passed in review on Broadway.
Coming down Fifth street it disband-
ed at Fifth and jefferson.
The parade was .one of the prettiest
ever seen in Kentucky. There were
never before so many beautifully dec
Grated rigs. Deans band led the pro-

TWO NARROW ESCAPES
How the Sunset Limited Was Not
 Wrecked Near Tucson.

News vas received from Tucson yes terday that frightful wreck just west of that city was averted Tuesday night only by the prompt action Of the rail- road officials. Several oil tank cars standing on side track in the Tucson yards in some manner got under mo- ton on the main line west of the city and by the time the cars reached Ril- Tito station they were moving at the rate of forty miles an hour. The east bound limited was due shortly and tn" dispatcher at Tucson at once ordered the agent at Rillito to open the switch leading to a spur and wreck the run away cars. He did so. and the wild train reached the spur none too soon. fer in a few minutes the limited arriv- ed.
 This incident recalls q similar one that occurred d few years ago in the Tucson yards. The railroad company was leading several cars with gravel for bailastirg. at Vail station a few miles east of the city. The cars got away from the men and rolled down the main line at a terrific rate Of speed. as it is down grade all the way to Tue son. Some enc in the Tucson yards saw the train coming and i'll a moment it flashed into his mind what had hap peled. He turned the runaway cars onto q siderack. where they collided with other cars and were piled up in artistic confusion. In this instance, also. the east bound limited was due to arrive in a few minutes. Had the cars rot been ditched there would have been terrible collision just west Of Tue son.

The "card of thanks" is one of the

Everybody understands that when

to only the few directly interested in it.
1t is in no sense news item. And the
