THEY BEGIN TO BALK
Some officials Do Not Want to Cur
tail the Police Force.
A Commissioner Declares They Will
Have as Many Lieutenants as
They Want.
COUNCIL CANNOT PREVENT

There is already developing consid-
cradle objection to some Of the recon-.
mendations to be made to the council
by the joint committee which met
yesterday and decided TO recommend
the adjustment Of the position Of lieu
tenant of police.
One Of the commissioners said to-
day: 1.-THE council hasn't thing to
do with abolishing the Office Of lieu
tenant, no matter what the committee
recommends. The council hxes the
number Of pstrolmen and what shall
be paid them, but we can say that
there shall be half q dozen captains
and lieutenants IL we desire. They
will OF course have to be taken from
the number Of patrolmen we have,
and perhaps receive only the salary
paid to patrolmen. but they can't
prevent us from having . lieutenant
IL we want one"
Other officials are getting little
hot in the collar and say that few
men have undertaken to pose as pub
lie benefsctors and are trying 10 make
grand stand plays for future political
prestige, but that they will get
black eye before they get through.
The committee yesterday decided
to recommend the reduction of the
police force by only one man, the
lieutenant, and not two,as some seem
to have been informed. II is likely
that Chief Collins will be reelected
chief when the commissioners make
their regular appointments.
A number OF prominent officials
about the city hall heartily concur
in the suggestion that patrolmen be
kept at the city hall constantly to
answer emergency called, and IL may
possibly be done after the new force
goes in. One or two officers in citi-
zens clothes are also thought to be
necessary for the successful working
Of the force.

A REDUCTION NEEDED.

Paducah's police force costs $1,000
a month, not counting the market
master, license inspector, keeper of the
city prison aud street inspector. 1t
is believed that the cost could be
made less and the service be just as
satisfactory by reducing the force.
Il is averred by men who thorough
Iy understand the police department
that Paducah can get along just as
we'll with less police officers. There
would he no better results, at least
not proportionate, if we had a
thousand patrolmen instead of TWEEN
ty-four. The police get about all
there is going, as IL is. There can
he ooly : certain per cent Of crime

The taxpayers Of Kentucky ought
to feel very much fiattered over the
manner in which the Democrats Of
the state, especially the politicians
who have announced their intention
OF "damning the Republican party 10
Kentucky" have treated them in the
past. Intent on convicting some Of
the Republicans charged with Senator
Goebel 8 murder by perjury, prejudic q
and specially selected juries impan-
eled by partisan courts pledged to
conviction in advance. they have
compelled the taxpayers to spend
thousands of dollars for faroicai trials
of the ALI g I'd oonspirators. which the
court of appeals, even when it boasts
of Democratic partissns among its
members, promptly reverses. II is
announced that the Powers case will
be reversed in a few days simply be-
cause Judge Cantrill sat in the case
when IL was known beforehand he
could not give the defendants . fair
trial, and would not. He was ASKED
to vacate, but he refused to do it, be-
cause he felt that he was necessary to
the conviction of the defendant, SO
there he stuck. Because he stuck q
new trial lis TO be granted, and the
enormous expense Of another trial, as
in the last, will have to be paid by
the taxpayers. II the alleged con-
spirators had received fair trials they
would all have been acquitted long

in . city of this population, and the
police usually let few offenders es-
cape. The thing TO do is to try to
achieve the same thing by different
methods, IL il will save the city money.
The suggestion Of member of the
council to have mounted officers con-
stantly at the police headquarters TO
answer emergency calls is believed to
be good one. Officers, on account OF
their inability to be IN more than one
place at q time, usually cannot be
found when they are needed most,
because they cannot be located in
time. With mounted officers at head
quarters there would be men there
constantly TO respond TO calls, similar
to the fire service. An investigation
of other cities will prove that Paducah
has much more than her proportion Of
police officers, not because they are
needed, but because the places are
created for political workers. Gales
burg, Ill, with $500 population, q
fsw hundred less than Psducsh. has
o lly ten police officers. Racine, Wis,
with population of 80. 900, has only
fourteen. Newport, KY, with 10000,
has only twenty-three police officers,
Including chief, captain and lieuten-

THE WEATHER.
MODERN INCONSISTENCIES.

A great deal of the activity Of the
so-called philsnthropists Of this gener-
alton is Q sham. The other day out
in Kansas o real bull fight was sdver-
tised, and the ladies', with Characters
tic enterprise, immediately raised .
protest. So did the ministers and the
Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty 10 Animals, and few other or
CARNATIONS too numerous 70 mention.
The result was that the bull fight did
not take place, but . bogus bull fight
was given without bloodshed. Up in
Louisville a short time ago there was
q great turmoil over so-called prize
fight that was scheduled to take place.
A pair of toughs who could not kill
one another il they hammered away
all day, were not permitted to do it for
the edificstion of the class Of people
who like 10 see that sort of thing, be-
cause the well-mesning but inoonsis-
tent people who didn't were no doubt
afraid the delicate pugilists would
hurt each other or perhaps deprive the
human race of one or more Of its
valuable specimens. Yet the records
show that the football season just
closed claimed fourteen victimsl This
many were killed in the game, and
scores were injured. They were
mostly young men who have been
brought up to esohew such brutal ex-
hibitions as prize fights or bull fights,
but when It comes to kicking, chok-
ing, MASKING and killing one another
it is different, probably because they
are in fun and mean no harm. And
they are encouraged in it by the best
and most cultured people in all walks
of life, including the ladies and gem
tlemen who belong to societies for the
prevention Of prize fights, bull fights,
chicken fights and all other kinds Of
fights. Here is what Bishop Morrison,
in his Thanksgiving sermon at Louis
Vile Thursday, said about il; 4
1.-THE prospect of the church was
never brighter, though there are dan
gers ahead. A material and q muscu
lar Christianity are clamoring for do
minion. When the Y. NJ. O. A. and
many Of the church schools have come
to sanction athletics which are full OF
a murderous spirit, and whose records
show for the present year ten killed
outright, with seventy seriously hurt,
more than have ever been killed OF
crippled in the United States by
prize fighting since the republic had
a history; when this state of things
has obtained it is time for serious
thought; time to call halt and in
quire for reform or for legal enactment
that will protect the lives of oui
young men,"

Roads Settle Their Dispute

The last dispute between the San
Pedro road and The Oregon Short Line
over right OF way through Nevada
mas been settled. The field work of
the joint survey has been agreed upon
throughout All that now remains is
for the engineering departments Of
both roads to complete their maps.
These must be approved by the boards
of directors and then the legal de-
partments must go into court and Sc
cure an order finally determining the
right CT way for each road. 1t is be-
lieved that this can be accomplished
by May l, and then construction work
will proceed.
Assistant Chief Engineer H. M. Nc
Cartney of the San Pedro and Resi-
dent Engineer William Ashton Of the
Short Line held a conference yester-
day, at which they went over the sole
remaining point in dispute and agreed
on a solution. At one point not far
from Moapa the roads skirt the foot
hills. The Short Line had the more
desirable line, well UP the side, leav-
ing the San Pedro some difficult and
expensive work.
This was objected to- Chief Engin
eer j. 3. Berry and Mr.. Ashton finally
agreed in behalf of the Short Line that
a middle route should be selected, bOtl
roads sharing in the expense ant
building practically a double tract
along this section of road.
The joint survey agreed upon cover
every part OF the country where
conflict of interests fEom an engineer
ing standpoint is likely. 1t extend
