JAPAN MUST DECLARE WAR

st. Petersburg. Dec. 30--Only by
words caught now and then can an
inkling be obtained of Russia's inten.
ton.
For the next ten days OF so there
will be a calm which can not but BIO

political secret that Japan would not
accept Russia's last propositions and
has returned them for reconsideration
as unacceptable.
Those who hurried to assure the
world that no ultimatum had been
sent were technically correct. Ultima
tums, like formal declarations OF war.
are out OF date. Statesmen have 9TH

uubending lines. Russia's tradition,
inherited from Peter the Great, is 10

has taken up. The present emperor,
while an apostle of peace, is firstly a

An amiable worded" mon possumus"
will surely be given in reply to Japan
and probably also kindly paternal
lecture upon the folly Of trying &c

DEATH Turks IN
AN OPEN SWITCH
Illinois Central Flyer Crashes Into
a Freight at Little Cypress.

Glass, Fireman Grafton Harris and
Conductor Garriott, all Of Psducah,
is one of the big three driver type and
when the passenger engine crashed
into it caused the former engine to re-
bound more than dozen feet. There
was kissing OF steam following the
crash and passengers began to tumble
out of the coaches with much haste
and confusion. The train crew began
to work to render what aid possible to
the injured and within few minutes
the news Of the wreck had spread over
the entire division and messages be-
gan to pour IN from relatives of those
on board the passenger train and from
the families of the members Of the
train crews.
The wreck occurred almost at the
Office of the Cumberland long distance
telephone company and immediately
the wires were kept busy by people no
tifying their friends that they were
not hurt.
Conductor John Whedon who bad
ian ankle badly sprained, rushed to his
engine to care for the engiEeman and
his fireman. After searching about
the twisted machinery for several min
utes he found Engineer Sweets lying
about ten feet from his engine, with
one leg cat off above the knee, and
slowly bleeding to death. He secured
the assistance of Contractor +. W.
Katterjoan and carried the injured
man to the depot where, medical aid
was secured and the leg temporarily
dressed. Fireman Fitzgibbons was
found lying ON the main line where he
had jumped with sprained ankle,
while Fireman Harris who was in
iured about the head, had made hi.
way to nearby grocery store where
he nursed his wounds.
Engineer Glass, of engine No. "a
was found by Contractor Katte-iohr
sitting on the tank of his engine, beinl
slowly scalded 10y escaping steam,
Glass was partially unconscious ant
an examination showed his left arm
broken below the wrist, his right
shoulder damned and his head badly
bruised and cut. These were found &c
be the worst injured and the engine

1t Will Recommend One New
Fire Department in Paducah.
A Number Of Things to Be Touched
On-No Board of Public
Works.
THE AUDITOR APPOINTMENT

Mayor Yeiser is not ready to give
out all the points on which he will
touch in his annual address to be read
next week. He will probably not ap-
point the board Of public works until
after the new boards 60 into Office
The ordinance has been signed and.
all that remains to be done is to make
the appointments. Mayor Yeiser posi-
lively denies that he has decided full.
ly whom he will appoint.
1t is understood that in his procla-
nation he will recommend but one
new fire station, and this will of course
be on the North Side.
Something will be recommended re-
aarding change in the charter gov
erning city printing. 1t is claimed
that the city wastes money paying for
printing the official proceedings of the
boards, which are seldom, If ever read.
The free hand pews reports of the
boards, the mayor thinks, are all that
are ever read and the city, in pay ing
for the printing of the official proceed
ings, is virtually throwing money
away.
No increase in the police force will
be recommended. The mayor will
leave these matters to the police COM
missioners.
As to the tax rate, the lowest pos
sible rate will of course be recommend
ed. There is little or no prospect,
however, of its being any smaller than
now, and many think that with the
necessary improvements and addition
al expenses, the tax rate will have to
be placed at the limit, sl.s5.
A crack will likely be taken by the
mayor at the railroads for blockadiDg
the street crossings, and recommen-
dation be made that they be required
to put up autom attic gates.
Mayor Yeiser has not announced
whom he will appoint city auditor,
but it is generally understood that
Mr.. Alex Kirkland will be appointed.
Mr.. KirFla land has been auditor since
Paducah became a city Of the second
class, and is universally liked. He
is courteous, affable. industrious and
in addition is considered the most ex-
pert accouI tant in Paducah.
The police have ascertained that the
woman who passed q counterfeit $40
bill on q South Side grocer last Ssfur-
day did not know it was bad money.
They ascerteined that she got it at an
up river town, and are investigating
it further, but it is the general belief
that the bill had passed through per-
haps several hands before its oharsc-
ter was discovered.
Marshal Grow thinks from reports
that there must be gang of mule and
horse thieves operating in this section
of the country. Yesterday afternoon
a man named Hedges from Oaruthers-
Vile, Mo-, was in Paducah looking
for mules stolen from Caruthersville,
but failed to locate them.

GAME TO THE FINISH
Was Eddie HanlOn In Last
Nights Fight.
Referee Stopped the Contest in Six
teenth Round, Young Corbett
Being Easy Winner.
WAS A TERRIFIC BATTLE

San Francisco. Dec. 30-A merciful
referee probably saved Eddie Hanlon
from being killed by Young Coybett
last night when. he stopped the contest
in the middle of the sixteenth round.
For two rounds previous Referee Ora
ney had begged Hanion's seconds to
take their man out Of the ring. but
they kept the game yourgster at it,
and finally Graney, fearing that q IA.
tally might re ult, ordered the fight
stopped.
No man ever received such terrific
punishment in San Francisco ring.
When the San Francisco boy was
carried to his corner still conscious,
but unable to walk, his seconds
worked vigorously to revive him. The
terribly beaten lad, however, COM
menced to vomit blood, and things
looked very serious for him for q short
time. He was finally revived and
was carried from the ring by one of
his seconds.
1t must be said for Corbett that he
was as merciful under the oircum-
stances as he could be.
The fight demonstrated that Corbett
is any mans superior at his weight.
AT no time during the contest was he
in any apparent danger, and when il
ended there was not a mark upon him.
Hanlon's most peculiar and very
effective defense was all that saved
HIM from a knockout early in tn,
game. Even when he became tired
and could not protect himself Corbeti
could not land a knockout blow. In
the thirteenth and fourteenth rounds
Corbett began to show what he could
do. The men were allowed to fight
| in the clipches, and Corbett, leaning
his head against Hanlon's shoulder
and with his arms free, would punch
him in the stomach with his right
and swing fierce short lefts on his jaw.
That was the beginning of the end.
In the fifteen round Corbett backed
Hanlon into corner and when the
San Francisco lad swung feebly. Cor
bett swung two lightning lefts and
/ Hsnlon went down. He took the
count Of eight, but struggled to his
| feet and again received the terrific
punishment that Corbett WAS dealing
out 10 him. 1t was then that Graney
wanted he fight stopped.
In the seventh round things looked
bit bright for the Californian. He
scored a clean Touchdown, when he
landed right swing on the point OF
Corbett's jaw. The Denver lad was
MP in an instant, however, and was
apparently not hurt by the blow. In
the twelfth round Hanlon made his
last stand. All through he did the
forcing end leading. Corbett wa,
swinging when Eddie landed terrific
blow right on the stomach. 1t was evi
IDENTIFY hurt the champion, but he wa
too busy TO think about it, and wen
right on with the game,
After the fight Corbett went owe
to Hanlon and kissed him.
Hanlon said; "You can lick then
all.
When Hanlon went to his corner HI
was seized with severe fit of vomit'
ing. Hanlon was carried from thu
ring very weak, but conscious.
