Jackson, Nov. l3.-Hon. r. p.
Williams, Jr., master in CHANGER,
appointed by Judge Niles to pass on
all the building and loan litigation
pending in the Federal courts of this
state, has made lengthy report in
which he declares that the binding

companies are not usurious. This is

Judge Niles some time since and in
conflict with the opinion Of the Mis-

contracts to be usurIous. A case is
now pending before the United
States supreme court in which the
foreign contract matter viii be final.

his first visit to America Sir Henry
has had a darby for his servant In his
living chambers He thinks there Is
not another one like him 10 the world.
But he does not take him 20 the Ly-
ceum theater. Clarkson. the wlgmaker
for the theatrical world of London,
recommended a young man as dressed
for this latter position, and he gave eN-
cellent satisfaction.
But Clarkson soon noticed that he
did not get as many orders for wigs
from Sir Henry as he formerly dtL
He shrewdly suspected that the SER
want sent from his establishment had
something to do with IT, one day, see

Mayor Yeiser Not Satisfied About
the Election in November Next,
Has Asked for Legal Opinion-Com-
mittee Called Together to
Act August 90.
MAYORS INDIVIDUAL OPINION

Mayor d. A. Yeiser stated this
morning in regard to the publication
in yesterday Sun relative to the cleo
tion of aldermen in November. that
he does not know whether an election
is necessary or not, but will In few
days have the written opinion Of IN
eminent lawyer from another city, as
he has sent for it and expects it in
short time.
When asked what he thought about
il. he said his individual opinion, from
what he knew. is that no election is
necessary, and that the aldermen will
hold on until November 1908. There
is nothing, however, to justify such
an opinion, and for the aldermen to
hold on longer than the approaching
November would clearly be against the
charter provisions.
Mayor Yeiser also said that he had
the opinion of some of the best attor-
neys that he will not have to give up
his Office next November, but will
hold on four years, despite the fact
that this would make the election Of
another mayor in 1905, when the
charter provides that such elections
shall be held only every four years af-
ter sl95, which would make the cleo
tion Of a mayor in Paducah necessary
next year, and again in 1907 1t seems
that the mayors idea is that the char
ter is unconstitutional, and cannot
prescribe the time when elections
shall be held.
A great deal of interest has been
aroused since yesterdays publication
in The Sun relative to the race for al
dermen. and it is probable that some
good men will be put out. The crowd
now in office is of course determined
to hang on II possible, but they will
nave the Republicans as we'll as GER
tain factions in the Democratic party,
to contend with, and it is practically
settled that the election will be held
in November, whether they want 1t
or not.
Chairman r. G. Caldwell. of the
Democratic city committee, has call
ed the committee together to meetAn-
gust 90 to decide about putting out
ticket, and there may be lively time
in the committee between the friends
Of the present administration and the
other fellows
