cab will Be in the New
Ball League
MEETING AT MADISoNvILLE

Paducah seems assured base ball
club this year, and fans and rooters
are feeling pretty good over the pros
poets. For some time a move has
been on foot, as stated in The Sun a
week or two ago, to establish base
ball league in this section, with Pa
ducah one of the cities, and today the
success of the venture seems assured.
A lease has been given local promot-
ers on a ball park at La Belle, and as
soon as all preliminaries are arranged
the grand stand and bleachers will be
put up to get in readiness for the
spring opening.
A meeting of those from various cit
les interested in the league will be
held Monday IN Madisonville, and one
of the local promoters will go up to
attend and represent Psducah. An
other meeting will be held later, prob
ably. in Paducah.
Assurance of pla cling enough of the
stock to insure the success of the ven-
ture has already been received by Pa
ducah promoters, and they expect to
give the people a good, fast, clean ar
ticle of ball.
As to playing on Sunday the ques-
tion has not been settled. 1t is of
course desired to have the Sunday
games, but If they vill not be per-

SENSIBLE WORDS
Ex-Gov. Bradley Quoted on the
Youtsey Confession.
Says He Is Confident Taylor and Pow
ers Are Innocent.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 30-"A
man who will deliberately conspire to
murder will also commit perjury to
obtain his liberty" said Ex-Governor
W. o. Bradley Of Kentucky at the
Windsor hotel today. 81 believe that
Henry Youtsey's confession, so far as
it duplicates Governor Taylor and Ca y.
leb Powers, was inspired by promise
OF immunity.
81 cannot bring myself to believe
that either Taylor or Powers was fool
ish enough to countenance a crime
which could only bring disaster upon
himself and the party to which he be-
longs.
Taylor was the governor of the
state, having received the nomination
through the efforts of the machine, but
he is in no wise looked upon as a lead
or.
1.-THE killing of Goebel was the re-
suit OF the infiamed condition of pub
lie feeling at the time, and the crime
was committed by ignorant men. No
one outside of Kentucky can under
stand the real situation. The killing
was the worst thing that could have
happened, and there are men that were
shrewd enough to know it. As to
what effect this is likely to have on
the Republican party in the future, [
am not prepared 10 say, but will say
that none of the leaders of the party
in Kentucky had any hand in the mat
ter"

produced enough money to get himself
and his brother out, but not having
enough money to secure the release of all
three, he left his wife in jail. In police
court yesterday Hansen tried to explain
his action by saying that his wife was
drunk and that he thought it better to
keep her locked up until she became So
Der.
When 1 went home to supper last
night said Hansen to Judge Finehout
there was no one at home and supper
was not ready. l learned that my wife
ana another woman had left an hour be-
lore, and my brother and 1 started out
TO look Tor her. When we found her she
was intoxicated, and when l tried to set
Her to go home she created a scene on
of u.s. al
Hansen admitted that in searching for
his wife, he and his brother had taken
few drinks and the court imposed a fine
OF SO on each of them.
