Manager English Stops Soldiers
From Making Arrests at Theater
He Says They Have No Right to In
wade His House-ODe Asked
to Leave Last Night.
CIVIL OFFICERS TO BE SENT

Officers or members of the Wheeler
Guards, Paducah's military company,
cannot hereafter go into the Kentucky
theater and arrest members who fail
to attend drill Last night one of the
members detailed to arrest Edgar War
rem was passed by the doorKeeper and
went in, gun IN hand, to take charge
of the young man.
Manager English promptly informed
him that nothing like that went in his
house, and gave instructions to his
doorkeeper not to let any of the SOL
diers in hereafter. The soldier left
without his intended prisoner
Later Captain Henry Bailey was
sent to the theater and advised Mr..
Warren to report at the armory and
avoid trouble, ana he did so and was
excused.
Manager English stated afterwards
that soldiers with guns or soldiers
looking for stray members of the COM
pany have no right in the theater and
he didn't want them, or propose to
have them. That their entrance was
likely to disturb the audiences, which
are lawful assemblies, and might pos.
sihly start panic.
Captain James Caldwell, commsn
der of the company, stated today thai
his men who have gone to The Ken
lucky in the past were passed by the
doorkeeper and were quiet and bent
only on taking IN charge members o
the company who disobeyed orders b,
failing to attend drill. Since the.
were not wanted in the thester, how
ever, they would not again attempt /,
arrest anyone there, but when a mem
Der who is wanted is known to b
there a sheriff, police officer or othei
peace officer will be detailed to q
after him, which Capt. Caldwell
thinks he has a right under the stat
utes to order in such cases.
1t is likely there will be no further
trouble in the matter. Manager Eng
lish says be has no feeling against any
of the officers or young men in thu
military company, but that il any o
the boys disobsy orders and come h
the theater it is purely 3 matter to b
dealt with by the officers of the com
pany, and they cannot send uniformed
soldiers with guns to the theste
again.
