Street Car Company Withdraws
COurtesies to Firemen.
Says One Stationman Was Active
Aysinst the Company in
Damage Suit.
THE FIREMENS' SIDE OF 1T

An order has been made by the Pa.
ducsh Street Railway company that
mem bers Of the Paducah fire depart
ments can no longer ride on the cars
free, and report is in circulation to
the effect that the action was taken
by the company because Stationman
Jake Elliott testified in the case Of
Charles Bells administrator against
the company for Bells death in which
case a verdict for So, 200 was yester-
day rendered against the company.
General Manager George Wallace
and Superintendent Gus Thompson
deny this report. Mr.. Wallace stated
this morning that Stationman Elliott
testified in the case year ago Just as
he did at this trial, and no such order
was issued, showing that it was not
the fact that Mr.. Elliott testified
against the company that now prompts
1t to withdraw its courtesies to the
firemen. He said that Stationman Ell
lott, from information the company
has received, took the trouble to go
about hunting up evidence against the
street car company, and advising op-
posing attorneys where to get witness
es against the company. Mr.. Wallace
said that the street car company did
not resent the fact that Mr.. Elliott
testified in the case, but did not con-
slider it his duty while accepting cour-
tesies from the company, to 60 about
doing what he could to ipjure it, and
consequently the company felt justi
fed IN deciding not to extend further
courtesies.
Superintendent Thompson stated in
addition that the fire department ID
expected to have a man out to warn
the first car when there has been a
fire, of any hose that may have boon
left across the tracks, and that the fire.
men failed to do this at the recent fire
resulting in bill for $I05 being pre-
scented tic the company by the city for
hose thus damaged through fsilure of
the firemen 10 warn the motorman.
The street car company claims that it
does not consider itself under obliga-
tions to show the firemen any further
courtesies, as the firemen do not seem
disposed to show the street car comps-
ny any.
Stationman Elliott, il was stated at
Central station, denies that he secured
witnesses or suggested them in the
Bell case, and that the company has
been misinformed.
In regard to the hose damaged, it
was stated that an effort was made to
stop the car and the motorman came
near running over Chief Wood, who
was trying to warn him of the hose
across the track.
