So Judge Sanders Decides in the
Gambling Cases in His Court.
| H Kaufman Fined 5000 for Suffering Gam
ing and at Once Arrested on Another
Warrant.
EDGAR CHERRY WAS tx0StRATtD

This morning Judge Sanders sus-
tanned Prosecuting Attorney Jesse Gil
bert's argument in the gambling cases
and decided that the police court had
Jurisdiction to assess fines in cases Of
this kind as we'll as the circuit court.
County Attorney Graves thinks
differently and says that the case will
go to the higher court either by an
appeal or by an indictment through
the grand jury.
Judge Sanders assessed fine of $500
against l. II. Kaufman for suffering a
game to Ne set up in his place Of bust
ness and Immediately after the fine
was assessed Kaufman was again ar.
rested by Deputy Sheriff Lyon on a
warrant issued from Justice Young's
court, for the same offense. The local
lawyers are very much interested in
the case and it is the first real legal
complication so far resulting from the
change of the city into the second
class.
The bond of Z. Costard, for setting
mp game, was declared forfeited.
He WAS under a $500 bond, Mr.. James
Z. Robertson becoming surety, and as
he has not shown up the bond will
have to be forfeited.
Queenie Ray, colored, was fined %
and costs for being drunk and disor-
DERBY.
Beulah Bryant, colored, was fined IS
and costs for breach Of the peace.
The warrant charging young Edgar
Cherry Of Savannah, Tenn, of petty
larceny, the theft of SO from Minnie
Hill. was on motion of the prosecuting
attorney dismissed.
Houston wilkerson, white, was fined
81 and costs for being drunk and the
judgment suspended on motion Of the
prosecution, during his good behavior.

The New York W. O. T. U. has
Just compiled some startling statis-
tics regarding criminology. A wom-
an of criminal tendencies, whose name
is withheld, died in 1897. Her de-
scendants have been traced, and out
Of 500, seven hundred were criminals,
having been convicted at least once
for some crime. Thirty seven were
executed for murder, and this one
family alone has cost the nation g.
900, 1000 in trials and executions. The
indications are that nothing will stop
crime except to stop the breed. Our
state prisons and jails are now filed
to overlooking with the hopelessly de-
gener ate, and statistics show an an
nual increase.

RELIEF EXPEDITION
Plans to be Made to Search for Ex-
plorer Baldwin.
Something Of the Plans Of Rescue That Will
be Carried out.

New York, May 23-Plans for the
auxiliary Baldwin-Ziegler expedition
to northern polar regions have been
completed and several Of the men who
have been intrusted with its direction
and management will leave for Eur
ope on the Cymbric tomorrow, this
remaining members of the expedition
to follow on the Pretoria next week.
The objective point Of the party is
Tromsoe, from which place the expe-
dition will leave about July | on, the
steamer Frithjof, which, with the
America, conveyed the Baldwin party
to Franz Josef Land. 49,. :,
Word has been received from from
noe that the Frithjof has been made
ready for the northern cruise. Upon
the arrival Of the party from New
York she will go from Tromsoe to
Camp ziegler, on Alger Island, which
is 80 degrees "a minutes north, and
there secure the last instructions left
by Baldwin. 1t is believed that Bald
win has worked to the norihward Of
Al ger Island, and that the America Is
fast in the ice. When the America
is found an effort will be made to re-
fill her bunkers with coal and work
her out of the ice pack. II is thought
that Baldwin used the America for
winter headquarters and worked north
with sledges, establishing caches pre-.
paratory to the dash for the pole. IL
is believed that Baldwin began his
northern movement for the pole about
the middle of February, and that he
will reach the highest point about the
middle Of June. The plan Of the re.
lief expedition after releasing the
America will be to establish a patrol
with the hope of PICKING up the Bald
win party. 1t is planned to cover a
stretch Of $50 miles east and west
across he route most likely to be tax
en- by Baldwin. II he is not heard
from by September party of six men
will be left in winter camp to be
established on the west coast of Franz
Josef Land for the purpose Of patrol
ling the coast.

Paducah is to be congratulated on
her excellent sytem of Furnishing
violators of the law. Ont of the div
er- and sundry skin games that were
run wide open last week all over the
city, one poor, unsuspecting man was
pulled and this morning fined 5000.
The authorities probably wanted to
show the public that they can get an
offender occasionally. None Of the
itinerant grafters who were here was
mo ested. The only man in the en-
tire lot who was called to account was
a home man. This is excellent work
and a credit to our police department.

President Roosevelt is Republican
but is nevertheless very democratic in
some respects. This he conclusvely
demonstrated day or two ago in the
round house of a Philadelphia railroad
while the presidential party was pass

placed ON tho turntable and all the
employees at the round house ran out
to catch a glimpse of the chief execu-
tive. A grimy blacksmith rushed for
ward and extended sooty hand.
The president grasped it, and the fire.
men and engineers formed line to
shake hands with the distinguished
visitor. No one was sighted, and
when the train pulled out amid cheers
the president retired to wash q hand
as black as that of any of the men
who had greeted him.
