BOTH ROBBED.
PADUCAHAN A VICTIM OF
HIGHWAYMEN NEAR
THEBES, ILL.

Mr.. II. A. Rose, well known
bridge builder Of the Illinois Cen
trail, who lives on North Twelfth
street, was held up and robbed near
Thebes, Ill, last Thursday. He ar
rived in the city yesterday, having
been deprived of every cent Of his
last months wages.
Mr.. Rose and q man from Joppa
had started from one town to an
other to send money home to their
families, there being no postoffice at
the first place, and were walking
along the railrosd. Suddenly three
men stopped them and went through
them, securing $57 from Mr.. Rose
and nearly as much from the Joppa
man, whose name could not be learned.
Over s100 was taken from both men.

Bottles Found by the Hundred This
Morning by Police.
Chief Collins Says That II Gets Worse
Every Sunday in Pa
ducah.
MAKES SOME SUGGESTIONS

The amount OF bootlegging in Pa
ducah yesterday was larger than any
Sunday since the saloons began clos
ing. II appears it grows every week,
and Chief Collins said today that he
never heard OF so much Of IL as there
was yesterday.
Down near the city scales and in
the alleys near there, there are hun
dreds Of bottles, The said today There
are assorted sizes and more than you
can count.
81 have come 20 tine conclusion, from
q good many years service in the po-
lice department, continued the chief,
that you can't stop whiskey selling
no matter what you do. My idea is to
let II DO sold all the time, and regu-
late the saloons Make them take
down all the screens, and this will
enable officers to have complete con-
troll Of them. IL man wants a drink,
he goes in after it and doesn't go any
cftener than he has to and doesn't
stay any longer than he can heir.
There would then be no back rooms OF
private apartments where men and
women could go in and get drunk and
fight. This, in my opinion, is the only
way TO reduce or regulate the liquor
traffic"
II is likely that q number Of war
rants will be issued as a result Of yes
terday's traffic. The sellers Of the H.
quor however, were unusually shrewd,
and for that reason could not be
caught.

Meeting Takes Place Tomorrow
Night at Washington School.
A Savings Bank Plan to Be Recon-
mended for the Action Of
the Trustees.
TWO TRUSTEES To RESIGN

The school board will meet tomor-
row night in regular session and two
very important questions will come
up for consideration.
At the last meeting a move was
made to have a teachers supervisor
appointed to look after the schools
This is done in all large cities and has
proven success. 1t adds much to
the interest in the work and aids the
teachers in keeping their work togeth-
er. The question was raised at last
meeting but had to lay over until this
meeting, as Is required by rule.
1t is to be suggested that the board
allow the teachers in the public
schools to start pupils savings bank.
This is feature of school work that
is proving success all over the
country. In France and Belgium
such a custom has been in force for
years and the success attained in
those countries has prompted the adop-
ton in the United States. In the
Long Island schools there has been
saved by pupils sl19,sso since 1885
and in Denver, Col, since October
1900, there has been 1850 deposited.
Each pupil brings what money he
wants to put in the bank every Mon
day morning and when q certain sum
is reached it is placed in the big bank,
selected by the schools vote and the
pupils are given bank book. This
money can be drawn out at any time
and if kept in & certain length Of time
will pay interest to the depositor.
The board will be asked tomorrow
ght to give authority to such q
move.
II is probable that Trustees Nichols
end Bauer will resign as they have
moved, or are to move, from their
wards. Their probable successors
have not yet been mentioned, and no
applicants or probable candidates are
named.
