they ask for more?'
1t was contended further by the
speaker that this was purely a local

commissioners the right TO levy four

He said one member OF the
board paid $4,000 last year In
taxes, and yet he voted for every
expenditure made by the board. Hc
said q great deal Of money was spent

WISE MEN" PREDICT
They Say: John D. Rockefeller Will
Soon Have Control Of the
Pennsylvania.

% = q ~
New York, June s6-Somesof the wisest
men in Wall street have become con-
WINGED that the Rockefeller Interest is
conducting a campaign to obtain absolute
control Of the Pennsylvania railroad, and
they believe the Developments the next
sixty days will show that the venture has
succeeded. The Rockefeller interest has
been a heavy buyer Of Pennsylvania stock
on the scale downward, and tt looks as if
that interest and other financial interests
closely affiliated with lit would OBJ
tain practically all of the 5000, 900
Pennsylvania stock to be issued at 100.
This with other Rockefeller holdings
would give the interest control.
It Is learned that a large banking house
whose standing and size should entit1e it
to at least $5,000,OOO share in the
Pennsylvania syndicate formed by Kuhn.
Loeb & Co., and Speyer & Co., to under
write the new issue, tho anxious for a
large amount of the underwriting, has
been turned away with. a paltry 500, 900
allotment. This circumstance is regarded
rs prima facie evidence that the managers
Of the syndicate believe their contract will
yield great profits.
It Is further assumed that the pressure
on Pennsylvania stock is largely the result
of the efforts Of the syndicate and the
Rockefeller interest the latter practical
ly dominates the syndicate-wfo wish to
keep the stock at a. price which will dis
courage stockholders from exercising
their subscription rights.

Chief Wood Says More Men and
Stations are Needed.
Two Small Stations Preferable to One
Larger One on the North
Side.
WEST END NEEDS PROTECTION

Fire Chief James Woods is pleased
with the prospects and recommends
tiop for an increase to the local fire
department, and stated this morning
that he hoped the council and board
Of aldermen would act favorably on
the request made by the board of un.
derwriters for Kentucky and Tennes-
see.
81 have recommended to the coun.
Gil for the past year an additional fire
department in the north end Of the
city, and think it would be very
wise move to place one there. We
ought to have a department in the
West End, these two to be small ones,
of course, but the addition of several
men to the Central station is the wis
est move that could bs made. We
need all the men we can get to protect
the business portion of the city and es,
pecially do we need extra men to han.
die the trucks. This has been neces
sity long overlooked.
Chief Woods stated that the city of
course could economize greatly in in
stalling the stations, if such an action
is taken, by putting in the least posi-
BILE number of men at the new stations
Chief Woods thinks four would be the
sufficient and thinks If the city in.
tends to put in one department of more
than half a dozen men in the north
end, such as was recommended by the
board of underwriters, that division
could be made and two departments Sc
cured, one for the north and one for
the west END of the city.
Colonel W. @. Nelson. the secreta-
~ of the board Of underwriters, will
leave the recommendation the board
desires to maze, with Mr.. O. @. Rose,

them regularly to the council. This

dient and advisable, thinks that the

City of Memphis Had a Record
Breaking Load.
She Carried Sos Sacks, Most of Them
Consigned TO the st.
Louis Market.
GOOD YEAR FOR PEANUTS

The biggest cargo of peanuts that
ever passed Paducah in one shipment
was carried by the steamer City of
Memphis. Of the st. Louis and Ten.
nessee River Packet company, which
passed out of Tennessee river Thurs.
day. 1t consists Of sos bags of five
bushels each, or 40,540 bushels in all.
The cargo consists almost wholly of
peanuts, the boat being 'blocked of"
with the "goobe RS" and unable to &C.
commodate other freight. The nuts
are, however, regarded by the shippers
as light freight. it being impossible to
load boat down with them. They
are also regarded as "good freight"
being more readily handled than some
of the other commodities from the
southern country.
The peanut supply in the market is
not limited to this cargo, a. 5000
sacks were carried by one Of the boats
last week and other lots still remain
to be shipped from the Tennessee pea
nut belt.
The large shipments ct present do
not indicate that the peanut crop is
better than usual, as it is said the
crop is only an average one, but the
shipments are coming closer together
than they commonly 60. Nor does
plentiful supply indicate that prices
will be cut. as the price is regulated
by the trust, and the buyer Mt retail
will continue to pay his nickel for q
small quantity in paper bag.
The peanut belt lies on both sides
of the Tennessee, above the mouth of
Duck river, which empties into the
Tennessee 1877 miles above Psducah,
and extends up the Tennessee only 80
miles. The larger shipping points for
peanuts are Sycamore, Cuba, Bre-
wards, Britt's and Blount's. Smaller
quantities are shipped from some Of
the other landings.
OF the cargo the Memphis carried
5lSl bags are consigned TO the st. Lon
is edible nut company and ?927 bags
TO the Bernhard company.
